TlLE-WANT CONVEYANCE.

The police department is making a
strenuous kick to the city dads for a
patrol wagon or an auto in order to
facilitate the work of the depart
ment, and say unless they can have
some sort of conveyance their work
is seriously handicapped. At one time
the police department was supplied
with a patrol wagon and horse
maintained at the station for its eX-
elusive work, but a spirit of economy
SUDDENLY struck the city hall and the
horse was transferred to other depart
ments while the police were compelled
to carry obstreperous drunks from the
place of arrest to the station. The
assistant chief stated yesterday after
a tussle with an overloaded ChOctaw
that the police department should have
an auto or wagon and that it was as
essential as an auto was for the chief
of the fire department and that he
was going to make a fight to get one.

CITY GAS COMPANY ASSURES
PATRONS THAT THERE WILL
BE PLENTY FOR ALL PURPOSES
WITH HIGH PRESSURE.

For the past three years gas pres
sure has been rather low in the city
and citizens have suffered inconven-
ience as consequence, but according
to a statement emanating from the of
flee of the Ardmore City Gas company
this morning, there will be no scare
ity of gas in the city this winter. The
company has already connections
made with a 33 million foot gasser
and have the pipes laid to all the gas
wells in the field of any consequence
that can be connected at an hours
notice.
The City Gas company is making
extensive additions to the local equip
ment and will be better prepared than
ever this winter to take care of their
customers in the city
The news that there will be plenty
of gas will be hailed with delight by
consumers, as the pressure as above
stated for the past two or three years,
has been anything but satisfactory.

The work which State Highway

deal of persistence and faith in the
final triumph of right.
At this time three,fourths of the
counties are in line with the depart
ment, county boards are repudiating
claims against their counties for
bridge material that has proven faul-
ty and where work has not been done
according to specifications. The trend
of improvements has turned from
the cheap to the enduring, Every
county has been gone into by the
highway commissioner and one by
one, men have come to his standard.
This great campaign fits Mr.. Suggs
to be of genuine service to men in
other states, many of whom must go
through the same trials If they win.
The letter which informs Mr.. Suggs
of his topic follows:

RIVER BED
BELONGS To
OKLAHOMA
ATTORNEY CHAMBERS FOR THE
SCHOOL OFFICE, REACHES DE.
ClSIoN AFTER PERUSlNG THE
TREATY WITH SPAIN.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 24.-After
careful study of the situation and ref
erence to all the available cases in
the premises, ]. H. Chambers, attor-
ney for the school land office, has
decided that the bed of Red river
probably belongs to Oklahoma. The
school land commission will no doubt
proceed with this theory, and the
question as to whether its title is
in the state or the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians, either in common
or in severalty, will probably go to
the courts in case oil or gas shall
be developed there as in the Arkan-
sas and Cimarron rivers. The opin-
ion by Judge Chambers has not been
formally submitted as yet. He bases
it upon the treaty with Spain by
which the boundary of Texas was
established. This treaty seems to
indicate that the south bank of the
river was to be the boundary line.
The question of islands in the
stream is not involved in the ques-
ton and seems to be more easily
disposed Of The government at
Washington has set up claim to all
islands in the beds of navigable
streams and the constructive naviga-
bility of Red river will probably be
established

An Antwerp dispatch says the Bel

lin airship which flew over Antwerp
last night. Fifteen Germans were
captured. The airship previously had
dropped seven bombs into Antwerp.
One house. which was wrecked, was
only three hundred yards from King

killed and six seriously injured. One
OF the bombs partly wrecked the Hos
pital of ST Elizabeth, which flew the

great indignation, though fortunately
no patients were in the building.
The English and French newspapers
generally admit the reverse to the

are now retreating to the first line OF

CONSIDER FIVE
CARDINALS FOR
VACANT PAPACY
rIvE OF THE SIxTY-Six CARDi-
NAILS IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH ARE BEING CONSIDER
ED AS SUCCESSOR TO POPE.

Alessandro Lualdi born at Milan on
August u. 1858, created cardinal on
April Is, 1907.
Domenico Ferrata, born at Gradoli
on March 4. 1917, created cardinal on
June %, 1896
Pietro Gasparri, born at Ussita on
May s. 1852, created cardinal on De-
cember 16, 1907
Pietro Maffi born at Corteolona on
October II, 1858, created cardinal on
April 10, 1907.
Gaetano de Lai born at Malo on
July 80. 1853, created cardinal on De-
cember 16, 1907.
Five cardinals of siXty-siX IN the
Roman Catholic church are being Sc
riouslv considered for the place left
vacant by the death of Pope Plus The
new pope must be a cardinal whose
pietv. intellectual attainments and eX-
ecutive ability is well known. He
must be an Italian, as although the
sacred college is free to elect a for
eigner, for many centuries the pope
has been an Italian, and a foreign
pope, it is feared would compromise
the question of temporal power Ev-
erv cardinal is bound by oath to de
fend, integrally and strenuously, the
temporal rights and the liberty of the
holy see, especially the civil princi-
pality of the pope. This implies that
if elected the pope he is expected to
oppose reconciliation with Italy, and
foreigner may fail to do so, while
the three Italian popes since 1870 fol
lowed implicitly this policy.
The new pope must be comparative
" Young so as to insure a long pom
tificate. Finally he must not belong
to the monastic order. The majority
of cardinals are secular priests, and
although hard to explain it is obvi-
Gus to any one even slightly acquaint-
ed with Rome that monk or friar
Cardinals Maffi and Lualdi and more
so the former, have good chance OF
election, as they are noted for their
intellectual attainments and executive
ability, and what is more important,
their names have not been mentioned
as likely candidates for the papacy.
They are, as it were, the black horses
that generally win in the conclave.
The eight cardinals di Curia who are
considered papabili have not of course
the same chance of success, and the
process of elimination will further re-
duce their number.
Cardinals Lorenzelli, Belmonte and
Vico stand slight chances of election,
while Cardinal Rinaldinfs name has
never been mentioned.
On the contrary Cardinal Gasparri
is one of the most eminent members
of the sacred college and he is well
fitted to become pope. His chances
of election are strong, and there are
many who think that at the next con-
clave Cardinals Gasparri and Maffi
will be the two foremost candidates.
The group of papa bill therefore
consists of the following cardinals:
Maffi, Gasparri, Lualdi, de Lai and
Ferrata. Cardinal Maffi is 45 years
old. he has been six years a cardinal.
He is an eminent scientist.
