WHAT ABOUT
THE STREET
RAILROAD?
QUESTION is BEING ASKED BY
ANXIOUS CITIZENS WHO MISS
THE ABSENCE OF THE CARS
TO THE NORTHWEST.

There is a question that is ag
tating the mind of many citizens OF
the city and it is relative to the
future of the Ardmore street rail
way system. For some time now the
cars have been operated only often
enough to maintain the franchise and
when asked what is to be expected
in the future the road officials say
that they have plans maturing for
the speedy operation of the line but
what the plans are they have failed
to divulge so far. 1t has been ru-
mored that the line from the city
limits to Lorena park would be TAX
en- up and the rails laid to the Whit
tington park and the cemetery, this
would be boon to the people living
in that section and would no doubt
be a paying proposition.
1t is stated that the public will
be definitely informed what the plans
for the future are within a few days,
in the meantime patience must be
practiced.

At W|CH| 7 A
SECRETARY WEST OF THE CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE STATED
THAT THE COMMITTEE AP-
POINTED FAILED TO ACT.

Secretary West of the Ardmore
Chamber of Commerce returned from
Oklahoma City last night and an
nounced that owing to the fact that
the committee appointed to look af.
ter few details failed to act the
state will have no agricultural ex-
hibit at Wichita this year.
The state board of agriculture had
made arrangements to finance the
proposition but the committee failed
to take advantage of their offer un-
til it was too late to get the exhibit
in Wichita in time for the opening.
Mr. West stated that he was dis
appointed in this matter as he felt
sure Oklahoma would win a prize
offered by the Chicago chamber of
commerce and the cash premium as
well.
The Carter county exhibit which
was to form a good portion of the
state exhibit has been boxed and
will be shipped back to Ardmore and
placed in the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce.

where seed at $1,000 and cotton at 7
cents is low, yet with the price re-
ceived and the assistance of the bank

complaint has been heard of short

Little Chip and Mary Marble of Bi- jou Fame, Will Present Musical
 Playlet This Week

Little Chip and Mary Marble, probably the greatest favorites that ever appeared In Birmingham theatres, are the head liners at the Lyric this week in clever picture book playlet, The Land of Dykes. It has been years since they ap- peared in Birmingham, and during that time they have become two of the great stars of the vaudeville world They are presented by John W Dunne well re- membered as part owner and manager of the Bijou Musical Comedy company which appeared so many times at the Bijou. The scenes of the playlet are laid in spot in Holland, and the costumes are typically Dutch.
 The sketch was written by Herbert Hall Winslow, and the music by Irving Berlin for there is lots of music in the act Chip is one of the best of the diminutive comedians of the stage Mary Marble has been star for many years and played in some of the original Hoyt pro- duetions. She has the reprtation of being one of the most finished comediennes on the stage.
 The extra added attraction for the week comes direct from the New York Hippodrome where it was feature for the season. Hills and Sylviani present one of the most startling cycle and rid ing acts in vaudeville, using a n old time high wheel, wagon wheel and a flight of high steps down which the man rides on one wheel With the woman balanced on his shoulders. It is considered one of the biggest cycling features in vaude- Vile. and full of daring and danger

BRETON HAS RIGHT

Has Been Affirmed by the Courts-Must Not Enter
 Conspiracy, However

London, March es.-(Speeia D-The Briton has a cotomen law right to hiss q play, provided he does so within bounds. This right first affirmed in case re- ported in 1sie, has been reaffirmed by a Dublin magistrate. who discharged man charged with .lissing a play recently im- ported from the continent The defeud- ant said the play was foreign filth.'' and he considered il his duty to protest lis protest was so violant that the play WAS interrupted for some minutes.
 The leading case of lS1O appears to have been the first instance of a prosscRtion for this offense. Counsel in that case said it had been difficult to find prece- dents. for although "cacalls are as old as the English drama, MT. Garriek and tho first man who have undertaken the management ot our theatrical concerns have hitherto eheerfully yielded to the Jurisdiction of the pit without a thought of appealing to the courts"
 In the case of Gregory vs. the Duke of Brunswick, reported in 1Sis, the de- fendants wepe sued for conspiracy to hiss off the stage an actor who was appear ing as Hamlet. They set up that they considered the mans private character and career so bad as to disquanfv him from playing They admitted that they did "a little hoot. hiss. groan and veil at the plaintiff and make little noise outcry and uproar at and against the plaintiff" but they made only such n disturbance "as for the causes arore. said (the plaintiffs character "they lawfully night
 It is said. however. that Maeklin, the famous comedian. obtained a verdict of guilty in a prosecution against diverse. persons for a conspiracy to hiss him off the stage whenever he might appear and it is probable that the wanton hisser today would find himself without the law
