CAP TAIN IS BIT
SHY OF MERCY
ESPECIALLY AFTER CULPRlTS
HAVE BEEN BEFORE HIM MANY
TIMES ON SAME CHARGE.

Usually Captain Hutchinson is the
mildest hammered man in the world
and a person in distress Immediately
appeals to his sympathies, but when
in the course of his duties as United
States commissioner he has been le-
nient with persons accused with violat-
ing the liquor law upon promise of
being good in the future and they are
brought before him the third time for
the same offense, he deems it eXpe-
dent to call in the sob stuff and put
on the brakes with a suddenness that
brings the whole structure to a halt
with quick snap.
And so it was yesterday afternoon
when for the third time two individu-
ais were before him for alleged viola
ton of the liquor laws and after the
preliminary skirmish by their attor-
neys, usually INDUCED in on such oc
casions, asked the commissioner to
set the bond and it would be made.
Right there is where the whole struc-
ture fell about their ears so to speak.
The captain gently but firmly told
them that there would be no bond in
this case. on the other hand he in
structed the U. S. marshal to take
them to Muskogee and place them in
Jail without bond, and there to await
the action of the federal grand jury.
In commenting on the matter the
commissioner stated that it did not
pay TO be merciful to some people lest
they abuse it and hold you in con-
tempt. and he says, the most efficient
way to put down the liquor traffic is
to keep a certain class OF citizens who
are chronic violatOrs Of il, in the ia!ls
or on the county roads.

JUVENILES ARE
IN BAD AGAIN
FOUR BOOKED FOR PAUlS VAL
LEY YESTERDAY BY JUDGE
FREEMAN.

Four youths will be taken from the
city today to begin terms in the re-
formatory at Pauls Valley and the
chaces are all four will remain un-
til the limit of the law is reached, as
they are offenders that delight in
causing trouble for their parents and
three of them have been on parole
from that institution. Two of them ap'
propriated a mule for which they
claimed to have traded a set of box
ing gloves, and in turn traded the
mule for an old skate of a horse be-
tween here and Mannsville, where.
they were apprehended and returned
home, but as the parents of one of
the boys is shy mule, that answers
all descriptions of the one driven by
the boys, the officers are satisfied as
to where the mule came from. They al
so appropriated some bedding from
one of the homes and were ''jest trav-
NlliIs Nhtl Lllt OAHi'lo at -AHLAA9
Vile nabbed them. The other two
thought it would be funny to smash
the windows in the front of Camp
bell Brothers store on Caddo street,
and they will have long time in
which to realize that it was no joke
whatever. Judge Freeman says that
the juvenile court is giving him sleep
less nights, and he also AYERS that in
many instances it is really the par
ents that ought to have something
done to them, for neglecting to care
for their children, and allowing them
to run at large until they have reach
I'd a point when nothing but the law
can handle them.

CARTER AMENDM 7
TO BILL ADOPTED
SUBSTITUTES ONE OFFICE FOe
TWO EXISTING oNES-AGAlNST
PER CAPITA PAYMENT.

Washington, Feb 19.-The house
today disposed of the Oklahoma
items in the Indian appropriation
bill with the exception of the 800
per capita to the $1,000 Choctaw5
and Chickasaws. When this item
was reached Representative Sisson
of Mississippi, who wants the Mis-
sissippi Chcctaws taken care of,
made a point of order against the
item. The chairman will hear the
members forty-five minutes tomor-
row upon the point of order before
ruling.
The Carter amendment to abolish
the office of commissioner OF five
civilized tribes and superintendent
of the Union Agency and create
in their stead the office of super
intendent of the affairs of the five
civilized tribes, was adopted, after
a spirited fight. The Carter smend-
ment provides that the new officer
shall be appointed by the president
and confirmed by the senate; that his
location shall be in Oklahoma ana
that his salary shall be $4,000. 1t
was charged that this was an effort
to get two republican officials, Com
missioner Wright and superintendent
Kelsey, out of their respective plac-
es. Minority Leader Mann made an
Intellectual attempt 10 strike ont the
clause requiring this appointment to
be confirmed by the senate. He
said this would get around putting
the place under civil service.
The appropriation for a tuberculo-
sis hospital for the Choctaws and
was increased from $780,
600 to $4,000.
The bill carries an appropriation
cf sS75,eOO for public schools ia east

GOV. OWNERSHIP
TO BECOME ISSUE
JUDGE PROUTY DECLARES THAT
FORCES ARE AT WORK WHICH
WILL FORCE 1T TO FRONT.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 19.-Judge c.
A. Prouty, in charge of the physical
valuation of railroads by the govern
ment declared in an address before
the Traffic Club here last night that
forces are at work that will make
government ownership a big political
issue in the near future.
81 am not forecasting or trying to in
fiuence the decision of the rate ques-
ton, said Judge Prouty, but | say
there are forces at work which will
make government ownership a big
political issue in a short time. If gov
eminent ownership comes it will be
because the railroads have not given
satisfactory service. They can not
give satisfactory service without the
necessary money.
Take, for arguments sake, the val
uation of railroads at $4,000, 900, 900.
The roads declare they should be al
lowed to earn per cent. Most people
believe per cent sufficient. That
makes a difference of s4OO,OOO,O 900 the
country will have to give railroads
controlled by private interests. Will
the country be willing to pay?
The thing for the railroads is to ere.
ate public sentiment in their favor.
The fair thing for the public to do is
to meet the railroads half way

YOUNG MEN To
TAKE CHARGE
OLDER ONES SEEM TO HAVE
LOST INTEREST AND WON'T AT
TEND MEETINGS. ....

Last night it was advertised that
the regular meeting of the CONNER
cial club would be held at the club
rooms in the city hall, but when the
hour of seven-thirty arrived, besides
the secretary there was but one mem
ber, who is a director, present From
that hour until nine o'clock a few
more dropped in until there were as
Nancy as six present and the pros
poets for a meeting looked gloomy.
About this time Fred kinkade, Kelly
Brown, Russell Brown, Harold Wal
lace and w. w Clement came in and
after viewing the situation for few
moments decided that the Ardmore
commercial club as it has existed in
the past was an impossibility, that if
Ardmore desired to take advantage of
the golden opportunities that lay to
the west of us, it was time that the
young men of the city took hand in
things and reserve some rear seats
in the hall for those whose names are
on the rolls of the club but who at
tend seldom if ever
The first thing for discussion was
an auxiliary to the commercial club,
consisting of 100 young men who
would pledge themselves to attend the
meetings regularly and work for a
bigger and better town. This was de-
cided upon and every one will work as
committee of one to get the required
number on the rolls. 1t is not the in
tention of the auxiliary to crowd out
the old members of the club, but all
they ask is that they get out of the
way of progress and help them do the
work and they will make the town
nat it ought TO be, they will be ask
ed for counsel and incidentally con-
tributions to carry on the work, but
the younger ones propose to see that
something is done besides pass resc-
lutions and ajourn.
The above-named gentlemen, with
G.. K. West, the secretary of the cub,
we're named as a committee and di-
vided into committees of twos, who
started the first thing this morning
to raise money to do the work on the
road between this city All the o.
fields, and they state that work will
begin on that road Monday morning
regardless of the weather.
One prominent oil operator who met
the secretary in his office this morn
ing. stated that he would contribute
literally toward making the road pass
able if they would get to work aLc
do something otherwise he was 60
ing to move his family to Waurtha,
where they are doing something on
the roads and making a strong I'D
for the oil field trade.
President Foster was unayoidably
absent last night, but he has been at
every meeting with the exception OF
two since his election to office and 1t
is rather discouraging to him that the
members and directors of the club
take so little interest in it and a0so'
lutely refuse to attend the meetings
The young bunch met at the cllb
rooms this morning and started forth
to collect and get new members for
the auxiliary and they viii sicceed
because the necessity exists for such
an organization.

day night.
This information was given to Mrs.
Benton today by Consul Edwards, and
the details wired to Secretary of State
Bryan. Benton disappeared in Juarez
Tuesday night.
General Villa, whose execution of
Benton is sigmatized by the latter's
friends as wanton murder, left Juarez
suddenly today for Chihuahua.
No single act of the revolution, not
even excepting the Cumbre tunnel
disaster, has so stirred indignation
here. Benton was popular, and there
were many moist eyes and muttered
imprecations when it was learned that
he had faced the firing squad. mo for
eigner is safe in Mexico was the
general comment
Benton who owned one of the most
valuable ranches in Mexico, had gone
unarmed to demonstrate with villa
about the rebels depredations. He
was never seen again. 1t is known
that he quarrelled with Villa and some
believe that Villa killed him and then
gave out the court martial report to
cover the murder

to Swansea, Wales. The ore ran high
in gold and silver.
