PREPARESFOR
ARDMORE CASE.
STATE CORPORATION COMMlS-
SION STUDYING CASE AND
SUBPOENAlNG MANY WITNESS
ES - HEARING THURSDAY.

! Oklahoma City, Oct. Incorporation
Commissioners George Henshaw and
W. D. Humphrey are busily engaged
making preparations for the investi-
cation of the cause and responsibility
for the recent gasoline gas explosion
at Ardmore, for which thirty wit
nesses already have been subpoenaed
by the state.
Commissioner Henshaw this morn
ing received a book of about 200 pa
ges concerning Interstate Commerce
Commission Regulations for the Trans
portation of Explosives and Other
dangerous Articles by Freight and
Express
The commissioner is making eX.
haustive inquiries into the nature Of
casing-head gas and other technical
matters that will be dealt with in tie
coming investigation, which begins
at Ardmore, Thursday.
There is much discussion relative
to the probable course of property
owners at Ardmore who sustained
loss, in the matter of securing dam
ages, as well as claims for life loss.
The city commissioners and the lead
ing newspaper of Ardmore are urging
them not to be precipitate in starting
legal actions, asserting that reason
able adjustment of all claims likely
will be secured without the filing Of
suits.
1t is the concensus of opinion here
that reasonable adjustment made in
the near future would be far better
than awaiting the results of long ati-
cation in the courts.

GERMANY HAS
ACCEDED To
settlement
OF DEMANDS OF THE UNITED
STATES IN THE ARABIC CASE
AND GUARANTEES INDEMNITY
FOR LIVES LOST.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Germany has
completely acceded to the American
demands for settlement of the Arabic
case. The imperial government, in
a letter presented Tuesday by its
ambassador Count Won Bernstorff,
to Secretary Lansing disavows the
! sinking Of the vesesl, announces that
it has so notified the submarine com
mander who made the attack, eX-
presses regret for the loss of Ameri-
can lives, and agrees to pay an in
demnity to their families.
Official Washington was both graft
fled and relieved by the diplomatic
victory. The communication deliver
ed by the ambassador pursuant to
general instructions from his govern
ment spread absolute confidence that
there would be no more submarine
controversies between the United
States and Germany for the docu-
ment reveals that stringent orders
have been given to submarine COM
manders to prevent a recurrence of
such incidents as the Arabic.
Since this case embraces the prin-
ciples for which President Wilson con-
tends in his notes following the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania and the Fa-
laba, the concessions made by Ger
many to the American viewpoint were
generally regarded Tuesday night as
paving the way for amicable settle
ment of all the cases which have
threatened severance of diplomatic
relations between the two countries.
Happy over Outcome.
Count Won Bernstorff left here Tues
day night happy over the results of
his work, expressing the confident
hope that relations between Germany
and the United States would continue
to improve
With the settlement of the Arabic
controversy, the dispatch to Great
Britain of the long delayed American
note on interference with trade, is
expected within few days. Presi-
dent Wilson has consistently refused
TO send this communication while
the issues with Germany were pend
ing because the Berlin government
had. through its notes, given the i'm
preston that on the action which the
United States took with one set of
belligerents depended its own con-

CHAIR
IS AWAITING
BOOKMAN
CRIMINAL COURT OF APPEALS
PREVENTS DELAY EXECU-
TloN is NOW SET FOR FRIDAY.
OCTOBER 2e.

Oklahoma City, Oct 6.-Without
reprieve from the governor, or some
other unforeseen interruption, it now
appears that Henry Bookman, negro
murderer from Mcintosh county, now
in the penitentiary at McAlester, will
be electrocuted on October 29, 70
which date the execution recently
was postponed awaiting the resul. of
an appeal to the state court of Grim
inal appeals.
John r. McBeth OF McAlester
negro attorney for the condemned
man, was to have made an oral arg l.
ment before the criminal court Of ap-
peals this morning, but wrote tie
court, stating that illness prevented
his appearance, and asked a continu-
ance of sixty days This he coTrt
refused, and ordered the case SUD
mitted. 1t probably will be disposed
of finally before the end Of the cur
rent week.
Bookman was convicted of the mur-
der of Rich Hardin, a negro, a. the
home Of George Booth, about ,our
miles northwest of Eufaula, en- Friday.
April 2. The testimony and evidence
introduced at the trial in the district
court indicated that the at-oCiOus
crime was unprovoked Hardin WAS
unarmed. Bookman used a shotgun
and twice shot his victim, who ran
out of the house and fell to The
ground. Bookman followed the man
and beat out his brains with the shot
gun. He never gave any reason for
the homicide except to say that they
had several "fusses."
The electric chair recently was IN
stalled at McAlester and was tested
by having the current turned into the
body of a live calf. 1t is reported
to have operated perfectly.

the city this morning for a confer

recently appointed, relative to settle
ment of claims for damages as a
result of the explosion of the 27th.
The officials spent the morning IN
consultation with city officials, AMI
in making an inspection of the havoc
wrought They will go into confer
ence with the citizens committee
some time today, and will arrive at
some agreement as a basis of settle.
ment for all claims.
The citizens OF the city are happy
over the magnanimous telegram of
assurance from President Ripley, and
with the exception of few am5u-
lance chasers, who had hopes of fat
fees and endless litigation, are salts
fled that the committee headed by
Ex-Governor Cruce and composed Of
Coma of tho hact h,,cipacs ,,,,,, ~ ,l,o
city, will give every one concerned
a square deal. Anyone who had visions
of becoming rich out of this disaster
is beginning to see great light, AMI
the chances are that there will be
very little i, any litigation as a result
of the disaster which has overtaken
the city. Whether the officials of the
road and the members of the com
m.ttee will decide to make their
plans known at this time, has not
been ascertained, but it is the general
belief that they will, as there is no
apparent reason for secrecy, as all
negotiations between the railway Of
fcials and the citizens committee
thus far have been open and above
board.
The prospects of speedy settle
ment are most encouraging to the
business men of the city, who hope
to see every vestige of the disaster
removed and new and better buildings
in the place of the old ones before
the first of the year.
The officials met with the citizens
committee this morning and planned
details to bring about speedy settle
ment. After discussing the matter
for a time, it was agreed to adjourn
and meet again tomorrow morning at
ten o'clock. One member of the
committee stated that they desired to
make haste slowly" in order that, /
when all was finished, there would 5e
no grounds for complaint from any
one concerned
