thing from tie railroads Cint
of view means an increase OF
rates. In presenting their side
of the case the railroads, to get
fair hearing from the puplic,
should play their hand entirely
above board. We are not dispos-
ed to believe that the people are
inimical to the welfare of the
public carrier systems and would
consent to an increase of rates if
conclusive evidence is presented
shat the railroads are truly in
such a bad way as is claimed
1t should not be difficult to prove
this with the figures.

WILL BUILD
HOME FOR
NEGRO GIRL
SARAH RECTOR, WHOSE IN

LIVES IN HOVEL

Muskogee. Okla, Jan 15.-The al
most paternal care exercised By
County Judge w T. Leahy over the
affairs OF minors whose estates are
handled by guardians of his court
was exemplfed when a court order
was made under which twenty acres
of the old homestead of the family
was purchased for Sarah Rector, the
astonishingly rich little Creek negress,
and at the same time an order issued
under which home will be built
there.
Sarah Rector, 10 years old, is one
Of six children of Joe and Rose
Rector, Greek freedmen. The dis
covery of oil on her allotment in the
Gushing field made her rich. B. B.
Jones has already drilled in thirteen
wells and the December royalties
We're little over $4,000
The Rector family live in poor
houses on the mothers place about
eight miles west and south of Mus
kogee. it was to provide a better
home for the girl, that the order was
made. OF course her family shares
the benefit with her, but it is all kept
in her name and will be hers when
she comes of age.
Judge I.eahy discussed the proposed
house in its minutest details, and has
supervised, it appears, all the plans
made for it, In fact, the Rectors
seem to regard him and T. j. Porter,
| the guardian of the girl, as standing
advisers on all matters, even of do
mestic economy, that may come up.
1t is believed that the girls younger
brother, joe s years old. will have
rich allotment too, when it is
proven out. A lease has recently
been made, it is understood.
