FAREWELL TO
DEAR OLD PIPE
NO MORE WILL THE CoNCEN.
TRATED JUICE OF THE POPPY
lULl TIRED SOULS.

There is going to be a big bonfire
about the police station in a few
days that will bring walls of woe
from certain denizens of the city
who have been in the habit of "hit-
ting the pipe" in the past, but who
in the future are going to be denied
the pleasure, at least within the
corporate limits Of Ardmore.
The police at divers and sundry
times have rounded up certain Of
this gentry and they are not con-
fined exclusively to the Mongolian
race, either, and with them their
paraphernalia has been confiscatel
and marked Exhibit A" at the po-
lice station. This has been going on
for some time, until now the police
are custodians of about half dozen
layouts that are going to be con-
signed to the flames.
An opium layout is an elaborate
affair and without the sacred pipe
the pill is harmless, so the police
are determined to rid the city Of |
pipes and assess a heavy fine against |
the one found to possess one
Already a wall has been heard |

Another crusade the police have .
started, said the mayor this morning, .

CONTRIBUTE TO
/. s. LIBRARY
PROF. RICHARDS ADVOCATES A
GOOD IDEA TO SECURE VOL.
UMES FOR LIBRARY.

In The new high school building there
Is an elegant room set apart as a Ii
braN. 1t is placed to be equipped
with necessary book cases, and every
th.ng to make a nice, coy place for
a student to go after information, but
there is an essential lacking, there are
no books in this library, that is, no
book to speak off, and Prof. Richards
is wondering if the good people of
the city will not take hand and
eliminate this condition.
Th's morning he stated that no
doubr many citizens of the city had
more books than they had use for,
and wondered if an appeal through the
press would not prompt them to con
tribute them toward the high school |
library, If any person in the city |
has book, or number of books that |
they are willing to contribute toward |
this worthy cause, all that will be |
necessary to do, will be to phone
Prof Richards, and he will send for
them.
The library is especially in need of
a set Of Shakespeare's works. good
worlds history series, and an up-to-
date encyclopedia, but anything you
have will be acceptable

CHARGE O'SHAUGHNESsEY MAY
BE WITHDRAWN AND SOME
POWER REPRESENT U. S.
STATEMENT IS READY
President Had Prepared Formal State
ment to be Issued Today, but Just
Before Noon Changed his Plans and
viii Withhold it for Present.

Washington, d. c., Nov 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson prepared a formal state.
ment on the Mexican situation with
the purpose Of issuing it today, but
just before noon it was announced
that the statement would be withheld
for the present.
The statement is said to be infor-
native in character but it is under
stood TO outline further the policy
Of the United States.
Reports in circulation here and in
Mexico City said the United States
might withdraw Charge OShaugnes-
sey and turn over the legation to
some friendly power and announce the
termination of all relations between
the United States and Huerta. AL
though discussed as probabilities, the
belief existed in many quarters that
the statement might also set forth the
ulans of the United States to compose
the situation through parleys with the
consttutonalists.
Lengthy dispatches from O'Shaughn-
assey and Hale are believed to have
had something to do with the with
irawal of the presidents message.

MAYOR DIDN'T
ATTEND DANCE
Quizzed by Prosecutor on
Subject Of Minors.

Prosecutor George S. Silzer tried
in vain to have Mayor Ferd Garrett
son incriminate himself on the sub
ject of allowing minors at public
dances when the executive was a
witness in Judge Days court yester-
day. The prosecutor attempted to
make it appear that girls under the
age limit were allowed at Perth Am
boy dances and that crime resulted
therefrom. Mayor Garretson told
the facts as he knew them, but Mr.
Silzer secured but little if any salts
faction.
Mr.. Garretson had been summon
ed to tell what he had heard at a
police court trial wherein William
McGreal and Martin ("Sonny') Gray
were on trial on a charge of rape
preferred by Anna Margaret Chris
Hansen, of Fords. The executive
said he had heard conflicting stories
told by the girl. Mr.. Silzer asked
him II 1t was not a fact he attended
the hearing to learn something about
dance hall evils. Mr.. Garretson re-
piled no, stating he was accustomed
to going to police headquarters
nightly to look rel police records
and thereby often heard trials. Mr..
Silzer then asked, Mayor, you have
been around dance halls somewhat
and have seen that. girls OF tender
ages frequent them, have you not?"
His reply was that he never went to
dances.
Outside of the court o Mr..
Silzer criticized conditions at dane
ing places in this city. He would
only insinuate that the local author
tiles, evidently meaning the mayor
and police, were to blame.
