derivatives of thymin (the active prin.

jim DUSTON ANNOUNCES.
Old Timer Offers Services to Ard
more as Commissioner.


A new candidate is in the field this
morning. and The ArdmOreite intro
duces Jim Duston as a man who is
willing to offer his services TO the
people of the city as commissioner
from the Fourth ward.
We introduce him only as a candi-
date, for as a citizen he has been
here about as long as The Ardmore-
lite. and he needs no introduction from
us as a citizen of this city. Neither
does jim Duston need any recon-
mendation from us as an official. He
has represented Ardmore as consta-
BILE almost since statehood was ush-
cred in, and the people know of his
devotion to duty, they know OF his
friendship for ArdmOre and its people
and they know as much of his in e
tegrity and judgment and industry
and executive ability as we know.
Jim Duston is one of the old-timers
If he were away from mere he
would come back. He is tied to Ard
more and to his friends here. II
he could make a city of $4,000 out
of Ardmore, he would do it. If he
can render any service to make Ard
more humming city he will do it.
Jim Duston has never been de-
feated for office but he has always
been before the people as can
didate for position as peace officer
He must have made good, as he was
re- elected to the same office. He
believes he can render valuable SER
vice to Ardmore as a commissioner
or he would not offer the people his
services. He will be actively in the
fight. and the people will have two
men from which to make their choice
from the Fourth ward

CONLEY DENIES KILLING.
Negro Denies Story That He Ad.
mittcd Crime at Atlanta.


Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 30-Denial that
he had ever told another negro that
he had killed a girl in the factory
where the body of Mary Phagan was
found was made here today by James
Conley, who was the states final
witness in the superior court trial
of Dan S. Lehon, c. c. Tedder and
Arthur Thurman for subordination of
perjury. Lehon and Tedder repre-
sented the William J. Burns national
detective agency in the murder in
vestigation and Thurman is a local
lawyer.
The testimony of Conley, who was
the chief witness against Leo NJ.
Frank, and who was convicted as an
accessory after the fact, was intro
duced in support of the statement OF
Rev. c. B. Ragsdale that he was
paid $500 for signing a false aff
davit rejecting on Conley. Tire ne
gro was not cross examined.
r. L. Barber, who made an aff
davit supporting that Of Ragsdale

which he also repudated later, pre-
ceded Conley as a witness. He said
he visited Thurman's office on April
%, 1914, and that he told the lawyer
neither of the negroes he and Rags
dale overheard talking in an alley
was Conley
Mr.. Thurman asked me if 500
wouldn't persuade me to swear one
of them was" added the witness. 81
replied that 800 would not persuade
me to swear to a lie"
Barber then told of another visit
he said he made TO the lawyers of
flee the next day, declaring that
Thurman finally agreed to pay him
800 to make an affidavit as to what
he and the minister overheard.
Tedder, he said, was present at the
conference. He explained, however,
that the affidavits of both Ragsdale
and himself were made later in the
office of Luther u. Rosser one of
Franks attorneys.
"If you did not believe one of the
negroes was Conley, why did you
swear to it in your affidavit?" in
quired Solicitor General Dorsey, chief
of the states counsel
81 didn't swear it, answered Bar
ber.
ut is in the affidavit. How came
it there?"
81 don't know. All that part is
false"
After Conley concluded his testi-
mony the state called Herbert Haas
another of Franks attorneys, as it,
final witness. He submitted a can
celled check for $500, which he said
had been paid to Burns representa-
tives for a months advance salary
and expense money for Tedder or
April 16. The state asserts effort.

MAY ASK ARBITRATION
State Labor Commissioner to Visit the
Cushing Strike District

State Labor Commissioner to Visit the
Cushing Strike District
Oklahoma City, Jan. 30.-Twelve to
fifteen hundred men who have been
on strike in the Cushing oil field for
the past two weeks, are liable to hold
out indefinitely unless some diplomatic
action is taken. and II. G. Ashton, state
labor commissioner, will probably have
to visit the field and use his influence
to adjust the differences that exist.
The fact that this large number of
men are idle and may be for some
time, means not only a big loss to
them in wages, but to the oil inter
ests involved a large loss of time and
money in results in the oil industry
The men are striking for a princi-
pie alone, it is said. Whether or not
the open shop policy is enforced. 1t
is alleged the supervisors of the tank
building work in the field have been
operating under the open shop policy
acting under instruction from the con
trolling heads, it is supposed. The
men do not complain about the wages
paid. nor the hours of work. Labor
Commissioner Ashton viii probably
go into the Gushing, field within the
next few days and try to bring about
settlement OF the trouble

Want Maneuvre Grounds

Oklahoma City, Jan. 30.-Whether
or not a certain tract of land near
McAlester will ever be used for ma
neuyering purposes by the state mill
tia, the people desired to take advant-
age of the opportunity to secure the
land so it could be transferred to the
state at any time. Mayor J. l. Wood
of McAlester, representing the citizens
of McAlester, deposited the purchase
price of the land with Gabe f. Parker,
through Governor Williams, and in
the event that the state choose the
site for maneuver grounds, the title to
the same will be vested in the state.
If it is not so selected, then the money
may be refunded to the people of Nc
Alester, or they can keep it, as it is
considered a valuable tract. The time
for the purchase of the land will ex-
pire Saturday.

LATEST ADDITION
TO 0ARDMQRE|TE'S PREMIUM LIST

True to the policy of The Ardmore-
lite of always doing the pleasantly
unexpected thing, another addition is
made to the grand prize list. The
latest is a Ford automobile new,
up to the minute, five passenger
touring car, which may be seen at
Tom Coopers Garage in Ardmore.
The addition of the automobile to
the premium list in The Ardmoreite's
great circulation campaign is not in
spired by mere sentiment-it is a
business proposition to offer to the
contestant full compensation for her
services in assisting us in building
up the greatness OF our paper as an
advertising medium Accordingly, on
February / the first 10 mlimeter gun
of the great subscription campaign
is TO be fired in The Ardmoreite's
offer of an automobile to the young
lady contestant whose work from
February l to March 81, shows the
highest count on subscriptions to The
Daily and Weekly Ardmoreite.
The competition for the Ford au-
tOmoble is a contest within con-
test The contest, up to the present,
has been for the trips to the Panama
Pacific Exposition, and this will re-
main unaffected by the entry of the
new prize, The work done by con-
testants up to this time will apply
on trips same as in the past, and the
only difference in the addition of the
car to the contest is that it will be
open to competition only on subscrip-
tions from February first to the
close of contest. Thus, if contest
ant wins the automobile, she will not

FOOD HIGHER
In Prices in Denmark Than in
Countries in Europe Which
Are Engaged in War.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 81.
Prices on all kinds of food have adj
vanced enormously in Denmark and,
Tor some few articles they are even
higher than in the beliigerent coun-
tries. The most necessary articles OF
food have advanced 100 per cent and
others forty to eighty per cent
One Of the unusual features Of the
situation is the. fact that Denmark,
which has been known throughout the
world as pork and butter producing
country. has lately begun to import
large quantities Of pork from America.
The chances for exports were so en-
ticfng last winter that the government
found IT necessary to fix maximum
prices on pork, an act which made the
farmers SO indignant that they appear
to have retaliated by refusing to rear
swine. there being little profit in. trade
lat the government prices The result
is that Denmark can now scarcely sup.
ply Its own market, and Is forced to
buy American pork. 10 e7,s 81
