IF A FLOOD were TO
sweep down ON TULSA
HUNTINGTAN, w. VA, DURING
WORST STAGES DESCRIBED
IN NEWS STORY.

Supposing Tulsa were to be visited
by flood such as recently swept over
several states? OF course there is no
likelihood of such a thing happening,
but Just supposing 1t would? Hunt
ington, w. Va, Is a city aput the
size OF Tulsa The Huntington Ad-
vertiser, in its issue Of April 1, Just
received in Tulsa, gives the following
brief account Of conditions there
when the flood was at its height:
For the first time in many OF
their lives hundreds of Huntington
residents had to sleep In any place
that they could find on Sunday and
Monday nights. Sleeping room was
at a premium. Barns, vacant houses,
vacant lots, sidewalks, benches, lawns
in fact any vacant space into which
man could crawl was occupied by
a sleeper.
The hotels were crowded to the
doors. Chairs were slept in all the
night. Some people spread blankets
on the lobby floors. The Frederick
was full to overflowing with guests
and some of the people spent the
night in the parlors.
Three hundred people. 1t is esti-
mated. crowded the halls and lobby
of the Adelphi hotel. Every room In
the place was crowded.
At the Fifth avenue a number Of
men occupied chairs and slept all
night in their clothes.
A number Of people stretched
themselves on the court house lawn
and porches and lawns along the
portions of Fifth avenue and Sixth
avenue which we're not covered by
water. Automobiles which had been
left standing in the streets were fill
ed with sleepers. Every boat, as fast
as it came in and was tied up was
filled with weary people.

Farming and Rural Homes" the of
ficial publication of the congress.
Rest rooms for women are NJ
longer uncommon, but the city OF
Tulsa, oklahoma. has one with unu'
sual features. 1t came into being
through the efforts Of a little grouT
of women. Several OF them wer,
comparative newcomers, who, being
strangers, felt the desirabiity Of such
place more than would the older
residents.
The desirability of the rest room
was emphasized by the approach OF
great "Durbar," which would bring
thousands Of visitors into the city
inGlu uding many women and children
who would have no place that they
could call their own, or where they
could take n much needed rest.
The situation was readily appre-
clated by the city council, and re-
ceived the approval and support Of
the men and women Of Tulsa. A
large room within block Of the rail-
way station was rented and furnished
comfortably with many easy rocking
chairs, couches and cots for the bene-
fit of tired women and sleepy chill
dren. The city installed a matron,
and pays her a salary each month,
and the women continue to raise the
money for rent and current expenses,
contribute magazines and material
comforts. and give the Intangible
touch which, with the aid of the
motherly matron, converts the room
into place Of real rest and home
surroundings.
Although first intended to meet a
temporary requirement the room at
once sprang into popularity and soon
became necessity. In January Of
this year more than 1900 women and
children made use of 1t as a resting
place Notable among these was the
large percentage Of farm women.
No one thing has done more to
break down the intangible ba.riers
which too often exist between town
and country than has his room. 1t
is the first stopping place for mothers
who drive in from the surrounding
country. Their children are left here
instead OF being dragged around
through a wearlsome round of shop
ping which would reduce them to
state of physical exhaustion and leave
their mothers nervous wrecks. They
can come beck for their MONDAY
lunches and find this a quiet, restful
place for such purposes. or for spend

again in the heat Of the day. The
story OF the room has spread through
large region and the visitors from
the rural districts are increasing In
number daily.
The location of the rest room, so
near the depot, makes IT stopping
place for scores Of transient visitors
in the city. and the contrast between
this and the usual bare surroundings
Of a railway station leaves with every
visitor most friendly feeling for the
city itself. Many have expressed
their intention OF inaugurating the
same plan for the benefit Of the
strangers within their own gates.
Not only is the room used by non
residents. but it is veritable Mecca
for clerks in the downtown district,
who have hitherto had no place
where they could rest and eat their
noontide luncheon. Shoppers from the
outskirts Of the city are frequent visl-
tors, and the rest room has come 10
he an Indispensable part Of the city's
life.
Its value Will never be better dem
onstrated than during the approach
ing meeting of the Congress Of Farm
Women, to be held in connecdWl
with the International Dry Farming
Congress in October. Hundreds OF
women will make it their headquart-
ers, and not only will they enjoy Its
benefits themselves, but they wiQ
,,t. IN thair home
in far off states and the provinces OF
Canada the ideas gained here, and
will put them into practice.

SPARTA CITIZENS
ATTACK FRANK
TRIAL JUROR
Declare HensIee's Statement That
He Made Alleged RemarksAfter
Trial Is Wrong,

Another shot was fired Friday at A.
II. Henslee, one of the Frank jurors
accused Of bias and prejudice.
The fresh attack came from Sparta
residents who were aroused to indig-
nation by the statement Of HensIee
that he made the remarks they cred
tied to him since and not before the
trial They denied Henslee's declara-
ton in a comm dniCatiOn forwarded
Wednesday 70 ] ranks attorneys, and
asserted they Lad not seen Henslee
since the trial.
Their reply TO Henslee's defense
was much TO the same effect as that
OF Nunnally and Kicker, of Monroe,
VINO said Henslee had not been in
town since the trial, so far as they
knew, and that Henslee's remarks de-
nouncing Frank therefore must have
been made to them before Henslee
became one Of the juTymen.
Movements Traced.
The accused jurors movements
have been carefully traced before and
after the trial Agents acting for the
defense have been assisted in this
materially by the recovery of carbon
copies of orders taken by Henslee,
who is a travelling salesman.
Marcellus JOhenning, another juror
charged with bias, was in a brief
conference Friday with Solicitor Dor
sey. He signed a deposition denying
all prejudice. He reiterated his dec
laration of several weeks ago that he
never had expressed any opinion of
Franks innocence or guilt before the
trial, and that the lawyers for the
defense would not be able to substan-
tiate their charges.
The Solicitor said he rapidly was
completing his work in preparation
to argue against the motion for a new
trial.
Frank Spends Time Reading.
He will be ready to present his
objections Wednesday. He made ar
rangements to confer with represen-
tatives of the defense at 3 O'Clock
Friday afternoon for the purpose OF
checking up on the brief of evidence.
Frank, who assisted his lawyers
during the hardest of the work in
preparation for arguing in behalf of a
new trial, now has less to occupy his
attention, land is spending much of his
time, when his relatives and friends
are not visiting him, in reading and
studying.
