MERClAL ClUb LAST NIGHT.

last night, the necessary committees
were appointed and plans formulated
for entertaining the visiting, editors OF

nual convention Mas1Sth, 9th and
10th
The finance committee was i'll
structed to go to work at once and
raise not less than $500, but to not
limit the collection, as $4,000 could
be used to good advantage, if neces
sary. This committee which will con
sist of three members, who will be
appointed by President Foster today
and will begin the work at once of
raising the funds.
A committee of arrangements was
also named to have complete charge
of the affair and empowered to name
their assistant committees and all the
work farranging for the affair will
rest with this body.
The question of housing the guests
while here, was discussed, and it was
decided to call upon the Mothers
Clubs of the four wards, get them to
list every householder who will agree
to furnish a room to one or more Of
the visitors and file the same with
the secretary of the commercial club.
Prof. Richards has agreed TO furnish
high school students as guides for
the Commercial club secretary to
show visitors where they have been
assigned, and this question is belicv-
cd to have been solved.
Ebert Hubbard will be here for a
lecture at the high school auditorium
Sunday night May 10, and it is an
ticipated that every seat in the build
ing will be sold out on this occa-
sion.
The fish fry at the Chickasaw club,
which the editors Of the state are
looking forward to with a great deal
of pleasure will be the event of the
convention, and the committee on
arrangements will spare no expense
to make this a memorable event in
the lives of the visiting scrihes The
ladies' of the city will have charge Of
this affair and will show the visitors
lust what real lake fish freshly caught
from the waters of the lake, taste
like.
President Foster of the Commercial
club last night stated that he desired
the citizens to know that this was 60
ing to be the event of the year and
that it was going to cost some money
10 pul! it off in creditable manner.
He instructed the finance committee
to impress it on the minds of every
business man in the city that they
were donating for the best thing that
Ardmore had invested in since the
opening of the oil fields and to come
across with liberal contributions. The
badges for the occasion were selected
and will be ordered by the secretary
Of the club today.

Pipe Line Attorney.

A. G. Cruce made a short talk, in
which he said if he were not attor-
ney for the pipe line, he would join
the association. He asked the pro
ducers to be certain they were armed
with facts before they made charges.
He said he had known Col Greer for
30 years, and spoke very highly of
him and said, he was a man who
could be reached and who would do
all he could to relieve the situation.
Mr., Cruce said the organization
should be strengthened, but that the
extremists should not control it.

Building Tankage,

]. NJ. Critchlow of the Dundee and
Red River Companies who drilled
the initial well in the feld,was one
of the speakers. He hesitated before
he spoke saying that it had been
charged that he was a Standard Oil
man. He said, the man who made
such a remark ought to be ashamed
of it. He said he would like to have
Standard Oil Stock, that it was good
pay stock, but the insinuation that he
was friendsly to that company and
agains the producers was untrue.
President Franklin assured him that
the report did not emanate from the
producers. Mr. Critchlow said he had
one lease that not barrel of oil had
ever been taken from. He has pur-
chased four $4,000 barrel steel tanks
which will be constructed in the field,
The Dundee people wired him to
build a pipe line into Ardmore, but
he had not done so because he had
no market for the oil after it was de-
livered here. A market was the first
consideration, the pipe line is a sman
matter.

come into the association. He told
what had been done toward their pro.
lection, h. said Mr. Greer might be
right, but it was the duty of the pro
duCers TO organize and have their
own tests made, and to look out for
a market He said that two companies
which had been given advantages in
the field. would not get favors any
longer, that this was one of the things
accomplished by the producers, that
another important task was the send
ing away of a iull tank car of the oil
to refinery for a thorough test. The

Santa, Barbara, CAL, May s.
Charles w. Post, a wealthy cereal
food manufacturer, of Battle Creek
Mich, to-day shot himself to death
with rifle while temporarily insane,
according to testimony of his physi-

jury was non-committal, holding that
Mr.. Post died from the effects of a
gunshot wound.
Mr.. Post recently made hurried
trip to Rochester, Minn., to undergo
a major operation to save his life.
He had been in a nervous state since
his return to California and had
fought against an inclination to sui
eide for some time, according to the
testimony of Miss Ella Benson, his
nurse.

would doubtless be for it. Somebody
said the other day that President
Wilson would veto the resolution
even if it should get through con-
gress. That is rather foolish, be-
cause it takes two-thirds vote to
pass a resolution for an amendment
of the constitution, and two-thirds
vote is enough to override a veto.
Another red-hot subject apt to be
broached in Tuesdays caucus is that
of exempting the labor unions from
the operation of the proposed anti
trust legislation. Congress is even
more likely to be stampeded on that
matter than on prohibition, if it
reaches the roll call stage.

TWO MEN DRAINED.
Kings Mountains DiStiIlerS Killed by
Men They Halted.

Yorkville, May 6.-J. Il. Wells,
aged %, and Pink Dover, aged 81,
both white, were killed in fight
with J Ed Turner and his son, Thad
E. Turner, at the home of jim Mack,
colored, about three miles from
Kings Mountain battle ground, in
this county, last night at about 11.30
o'clock. Both the dead men were
Drained with homemade baseball
bat about three feet long, made of
cedar. They are said to have been
engaged in manufacturing and SELL
ing illicit whiskey. Both the Tur-
ners are in Jail, having surrendered
to the sheriff early this morning. An
inquest was held to-day by Magis-
trate A. J. Quinn, of Glover.
None of the witnesses examined
testified as to actually having seen
the killing, and several who were
present seemed to know little or
nothing about it. From such as
could be obtained it seems that the
deplorable affair was due to the fact
that Wells and Dover were both
more or less under the influence of
whiskey. 1t is said they had pre-
viously asserted that they proposed
to kill the next officers of the law
who undertook to interfere with their
business or arrested them, and that
they mistook the Turner's for off,

Had Gone Fishing.
The Turner's are farmers and live
on the public road about eight miles
above Yorkville After a heavy rain
fall in that section on yesterday they
decided to go fishing, and drove to
the home of Jim Mack, and left their
buggy there and went to the creek
near by to fish. They returned to the
house a short time before the killing
and found Dover and Wells. who mis-
took them for officers, and are said
to have drawn pistols on Ed Turner
and ordered him to hold up his
hands. Mack testified that four shots
were fired, and stated that Turner
fired twice and that the other parties
fired twice, but stated that he was
not near enough to see the move
ments of all the parties.
After the shooting was over it was
discovered that both Wells and Dover
had been Drained and were practi-
cally dead, and that Dover had been
shot in the right leg below the knee.
The jury returned a verdict that
Wells and Dover had come to their
death by reason of blows on their
heads inflicted by Thad E. Turner.

 Many witnesses including trolley men and spectators, have testified that the speed was not excessive and that neither trolley nor auto could go fast, because passengers were a1ight- ing from a Beardsley park car at Middle street crossing.
