To The People of Oklahoma:

The committee composed Of Off
GERS representing the different rail-
roads of Oklahoma. had hoped that
during the coming legislature that
neither their time. nor that sf the
member OF the legislature would be
occupied in discussing and consider
Ing bills further ourdenlng the rail-
roads.
We note however. from recant
publication OF one OF our daily news
papers. that some OF these measures
are TO be submitted again.
The railroads have their agricul-
tural representatives In the field.
and have shown by operating DEM
onstration trains. and in other ways.
that II is their intention TO copper
ate and assist in uniting all the In
terests In the upbnilding OF oklaho-
ma, which we believe to be one OF
the most resourceful states in the
union. what is needed as we view
81. is closer cooperation. greater
confidence. and more capital to de-
velop.
Expense brought about by arbi-
trary legislation must be met - re-
trenchments and enforced economies
elsewhere which is not only detrl-
mental TO the employees OF the rail
roads. the railroads the general pub
lie. but to the thousands of employ
ees and those dependent upon them.
who are engaged In the factories
producing supplies and material for
which the railroads furnish the mar
ket.
There ia no way TO meet this ex-
pense except TO increase the price OF
the only thing the railroad has TO
sell--transportation.
Among the measures which we are
advised Will be introduced at the
coming session of the legislature are
what are known as the Full Crew
"car Limit" and Hospital Bills"
The term "full crew" is misno-
mer in that Il would lead the public
to believe that the railroads are not
maintaining sufficient force to prop
erly and safely mal their trains.
The railroads now have and al
ways have had. full crews on their
trains. that is, sufficient number
Of men at all times to properly pro-
tect and safely operate them.
The though uppermost in the
minds OF the officers OF the rail-
roads is the safety Of the public.
its employees and the safe operation
of the trains. III the railroads are
not credited with being interee I'D

fully manning their trains. II must
be admitted that they could be from

ignored. The full crew bill is iden.
tlcai as TO principle.
There are the same number OF
men on the trains today that there
were years ago when the trains we're
controlled by handbrakes and the
engine was controlled by hand brake
on the tank and the reverse lever
Of the engine. No demand was made
on the railroads at that time or
since for an additional man IN the
trait. although there are conferences
amory the men and the managers
every year or so in regard TO the adj
justment OF matters. The additional
man was not needed in those days
to aid In the controlling and stop
ping Of trains when they had TO be
stopped by hand brakes. With the
new modern appliances. such a. the
air brakes. where the engineer mere
,y manipulates valve in the loco
motive cab to control or stop the
entire train regardless OF the mum
Der OF cars. why then should an ad-
ditional man be necessary today7
Further, should an air hose burst
or any part OF the air line be brok-
en-. or In case OF any accident that
would disconnect the hose, the train
is automatically stopped. Therefore
as a safety feature. the additional
man would be useless. as there Is
no assistance he could render In the
controlling OF the train.
Again. the cars OF today are equip
ped with automatic couplers. Years
ago the trainmen had to provide
their engines and cabooses with pins
and links. and practically carry
them from one end OF the train TO
another. when they we're required to
add cars to the trains, and yet. with
tho improved methods OF handling
and the modern devices. the number
of men per train has not been re-
duced.
The car limit bill is similar In In
tent to the full crew bill. In that II
seeks to create positions for addl-
tional men by reducing the number
of cars per train. thereby increasing
the number OF trains run. and In
crease the cort OF transportation.
To illustrate: Say the car limit
we're placed at thirty cars per train.
which has been suggested in some of
the states where the bill has been
introduced. There are thirty-five
cars Of stock at terminal A TO be re-
moved TO terminal d. n distance of
,ne hundred miles. The railroads
would have to run two trains instead
OF one to move the the thirty-five
cars. Notwithstanding the fact that
the locomotive on either OF these
trains could remove the thirty-flve
cars. and more. and still make sched
ule time with the train. II such bill
were In force. all tractive power un-
its over and above those necessary
to haul thirty cars would be destroy
ed, and could not be utilized In the
moving OF traffic. which on account

mounted Policemen for Oklahoma.
A suggestion by william NJ. Tighl-
man of Oklahoma City. that oklaho-
ma ought TO have a mounted police
force similar TO the Texas Rangers
is being considered by a number OF
legislators.
During the past administration In
Oklahoma there have been several
OCCASIONS for police duty in excess
of what could be performed by the
local constabulary The governor
has sent out militia at great cx-
pense and with considerable friction.
1t is argued that a mounted polics
force such as that Of ePnnsylvania
and such as New York is considering
would accomplish a great deal more
in a much better manner than the
militia of the state. In this con-
nection the experience OF Texas on
the Rio Grande River seems to poins
to the necessity for large force OF
Rangers or mounted police in the
state.

ber of the readers win remember.
The price OF things the railroads
have 90 buy has steadily increased
during the past years while the
price OF the only thing they have
to sell--service- confined 10 de-
crease. Naturally they are the vic
TINS OF the so-called High Cost OF
Living" The cost OF the freight
equipment and maintenance has IN
the past fifteen years doubled. Fiji
teen yeaua-ego the price OF every
freight car was s419.66. Now Il
costs sa97.49. The yearly cost OF
repairs and renewals fifteen years
ago was s3i.67 for each year II ls
now $1,000. This is due TO the i'm
creased cost OF labor aud material.
Fifteen years ago the average loco
motive cost Is thousand dollars, and
now they cost on an average OF 25
thousand dollars each. and the cost
OF repairs and renewals has increas-
ed from four cents TO ten cents per
mile run. and during this time wages
have increased over twenty per cent.
This is matter that should be
left entirely TO the railroads and TO
their employees. u has been proved
beyond a du'.ss at the last two ses-
sions OF the legislature that the ma
jority OF the employees do not want
the change in the present organIza-
tion.
This committee has Information
that warrants the statement that ov-
er copper cent of the railway employ
ees In the state are not in favor OF
Legislation that will add additional
burdens TO the carriers.
The full crew bill alone would cost
the railroads OF Oklahoma alone 400
thousand dollars a year. 400 thou
sand dollars would be six per cent

 TURN IN SENSATIONAL l. CASE
Tony Diadon Under 20Year Sentence for Criminal Assault and Mary Vitallero, His Alleged Victim, Are Married Black Will Resist Application of Attorneys for
 Diadoni for Pardon Parole

Tony Diadoni, the young Italian under sentence of 20 years in the penten- tiary for criminal assault. and Mary VI tallero his alleged victim. were married yesterday afternoon in the warden's office of the county jail. the Rev. James E.. Coyle, pastor of St Paul's church off ciating. The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of relatives of both parties. including the brother of the girl, who was largely responsible for the prose- eution of Dadoni and his subsequent trial and conviction. He was sentenced to 21 years on February F. 1915 after a trial that lasted three days, in which much evidence of a sensational nature was in troduced. Sentence was suspended pend- ing an appeal to the supreme court.
 It is understood that Louis Prosch and Matt Murphy, attorneys for Diadoni, will make an application for a pardon and that the petition will be signed by rela- tives of the man and girl
 It is stated that Solicitor Hugo l.. Black will resist the granting or pardon or parole on the grounds that the evidence brought cut at the trial was of such a revoting nature that he insisted that the death penalty be imposed. He con- tends that the ends of justice demand the punishment of Diadoni

Karl Hoblitzelle. president of the In- terstate Amusement company, arrived in Birmingham yesterday from Chicago. He left here soon after leasing the Lyric and inaugurating a threc-show per, day policy. MT. Hoblitzelle's policy Of three shows per day has been severely criti- cized in Birmingham but he said yes terday that in operating the Majestic his company lost approximately sT5,ooo before inaugura ilns the three-s show policy. which paid, and in leasing the Lyric, which has never paid. he had in mind the three show plar Mir. 11oblitzei1e was inclined to show by figures that the Lyric had played to d vastly larger crowd under the three-show plan than previously.
 "1 am convinced of the wisdom of the three show plan." he said yesterday aft ernoon. We have been playing to a greater number of persons. according to our records and we have been giving them a high class show at much lower prices. We are convinced that our plan is thoroughly correct ant while we re- gret the criticism that has been directed against us, at the same time we do not see how it Is consistent to change pol icy that has proven to be so acceptable and so convenient to a majority of the people of this city.
 Mir Hoblitzelle will be here several days conferring with NJ. l.. Semon. his new manager. and Edward Raymond, ex- manager Of the Lyric, who is to be trans ferred to some house in Texas.
