CHANGE HANDS
PRESENT OWNER ON DEAL THAT
MAY RESULT IN HIS RETIRE
MENT FROM HOTEL BUSINESS
AND BECOME RANcHER.

Captain w. F. Wilmington has re-
turned from FL Paso and other Texas
points where he has been inspecting
some ranches and farms that have
been offered him in exchange for his
hotel property in this city, and stat
ed iths morning that in all probability
he would make a trade and quit the
hotel business for good.
He has several tracts under ad-
visement but two especially appeal
to him, one near San Antonio and
the other near FL Paso, Texas.
Captain Wilmington is one OF the
real pioneers of this city, having come
here before the town was hardly laid
out, for years he was engaged in the
mercantile business, but later opened
the present Wilmington hotel and
with the exception of a short time
has been the proprietor since its OPP
ening. He states that he is tired of
the close confinement incident to his
present business and prefers to be
where he can get out in the open,
he was raised on a ranch and fol-
lowed the cattle business up to the !
time of his coming to this city.
This city will loose a good citizen /
and business man should Captain
Wilmington decide to move which |
now seems possible, but the best
wishes of every citizen will accom-
pany him in his new line OF endeavor.

RESIGNATION
SEE NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT
A CRISIS IS ANY NEARER NOW
THAN ssr IRE SECRET AIRY OF
STATE 3R0nE .HTH GSSiDENT

Hon. Charles d. Carter, congress
man from this district stated in re-
sponse to a question touching the
resignation of Secretary of State Bry-
an from the cabinet, that he could
see no reason why this country
should be any nearer crisis with
Germany than it was before the sec
retary stepped out of the official
family, he further states that in the
present situation he has the utmost
confidence in President Wilson to set
tie these perpleXing questions and
settle them fairly and justly and
urges every citizen regardless of party
affiliations to stand squarely behind
the president in the great work he
is doing. Following is what Mr. Car
ter said on the subject:
81 can see nothing in the resigna-
tion of Secretary of State Bryan that
might bring us any nearer to a cri-
sis in our diplomatic relations with
the countries now at war.
There does not seem to be any ap-
preciable differences in the desires
of President Wilson and Mr.. Bryan,
and the resignation seems to have
been brought about by an honest, yet
firm difference of opinion between two
of the worlds greatest living states
men.
The secretary of state is required
to countersign all diplomatic notes to
foreign countries, and when it be-
came necessary to draft a reply OBJ
jectionable to his ideas and princi-
pies, there were only two alterna
tives left, towit; either sign a doc
ument out of consonance with his
views, or resign.

will in the future as in the past have

but of all good citizens of all parties

fortunate differences with warning

Cabinet Solidly for Note.

Washington, June 10.-The United
States Wednesday sent to Germany
a note reiterating its demand for rep
aration for the loss of American lives
in the sinking of the Lusitania and

sire of the American Government that
Germany signify her early adherence

subject to the dangers of submarine
warfare.

terms than it was believed would be
used when the unsatisfactory answer

JURY VERDICT
IN TULSA RACE
CASE TRIAL
FAVoRS EX.-GoV. cRUcE AND
OTHERS AND ASSESSES ALL
COSTS OF CASE AGAINST ALL
SON THE PLAINTIFF.

Oklahoma City, June 1O.-Less than
an nour of deliberation Wednesday
morning sufficed for the fury in the
case of X. J. Allison against former
Governor Cruce. ct al to bring in
verdict for the defendant, taxing the
costs in the case against the plaintiff.
The case was submitted to the jury
in an Unexpectedly sudden manner
through a ruse of the defendants
counsel which cut the arguments to
the jury short before Allison's legal
pinch hitters" had been permitted
an opportunity to make talks.
When the case was resumed Wed.
nesday morning in district court be-
fore Judge f. d. Oldfield, it was
agreed that both plaintiff and counsel
should have two and one-half hours
before the jury. The arguments were
started in behalf of Allison by II. B.
Martin of the form of Martin and
Freezing Brings Surprise
Martin talked until he had con-
sumed a large portion of the plain
tiff's time for argument and rested in
order to allow the defendant time in
which to make a partial argument,
supposing that when the defendant
retired that Allison's case should be
further argued in his behalf by At
torney E. G. McAdams, as well as
Martins law partner in Tulsa.
Instead of this routine being car.
ried out. Attorney General Prince
Freezing, of former Governor Cruces
counsel, waived arguments for the de.
fendant, thus submitting the case
automatically to the jury and prevent,
ing McAdams and Moss from being
permitted to present further argu-
ments.
This seemed to be a surprise to
McAdams and Moss and when the
former attempted to have the argu-
ments reinstated in order that they
might make talks, supreme court de-
cisions were introduced by Cruces
counsel which precluded further op-
portunity, inasmuch as the defendant
had waived arguments before the
jury.
The jurors then retired to deliber-
ate and returned in about forty min
utes announcing a verdict for the
defendant and assessing the costs of
the case against Allison. No state |.
ment was made by attorneys for the |
latter, at the time the verdict was
returned, as to whether the litigation /
would be carried further.
