May discontinue prison policy.

The policy Of working city pris-

ing that it is costing the city more
than rs secured in return. Prisoners
who are worked are fed three meals
day and the board bill last month
amounted to S135. Some of the coun-
cilmen feel that two good men, who
need the work, could be hired for
that amount and would accomplish
much more work. Prisoners in the

PEMETA. Okla. May 29.-When
w. NJ Parker of st. Louis who is
superintendent of the construction Of
the Pemeta oil refining plant was
building a big refinery i'm Rumanla,
q year ago, all the really hard work
on the plant was done by women
laborers. In fact. all the hard, heavy
work and common labor are per-
formed by the women, according to
Parker, who describes them as Of
short. sturdy build, accustomed to the
vicisstudes of life only. The high
grade work on the Rumania plant
was done by skilled men.
1T didn't look right to me, at
first" said Parker, Ito see the women
going up the ladders with hods OK
brick and mortar on their shoulders,
but they were the only ones who did
that part of the work. They mixed the
mortar, carried the brick, dug the
trenches for the foundation, and in
fact did all the downright hard,
heavy work that required lifting and
muscle"
Mr.. Parker experienced a strike of
his women employees, as a result of
ignorance of the Rumanian laws on
labor. When he was through with
about half Of the sixty women labor
ers he had employed on the construc-
tion, he simply paid them off and
discharged them as he would in
America The next morning the strike
was on in full blast; the engry women
were surrounding his office and for a
time it looked like he would have all
kinds of trouble. He consulted the
authorities and learned that seven
days notice must be given any and
all persons employed before they may
be discharged. lie thereupon settled
the strike by taking all the women
back and letting them work the addi-
tional seven days.
Where Regulations Are Strict.
Mr.. Parker superintended the build
ing of two oil refining plants last
year, in what is now the chief war
zone. The other plant was in Galcia
This one, he says was still running

try last October. but the Rumania

plant had been shut down ever since
the war started Everything in and
around the plants which could be
made use of by the government was
taken by the government for war
purposes The company. employing
Parker had six automobiles at one Of
these plants An army official took
the cars, rCceipting the plant for
them. Railway trains, hauling mate
rial across the country, were stopped
en- route and the material thrown off,
to lie there until the war is over Mr.
Parker built these plants for an Eng
lish-German syndicate.
1t is a difficult matter to get by
the rules and regulations of the Rou-
fnanian government in order to pro-
ceed in any manner with an industrial
concern similar to the refining plant
according to Mr.. Parker 1t was
necessary for him to file a complete
and accurate survey of the site with
the authorities Also a complete de-
tail of the plans, showing the build
ing fully constructed. This included
even the smallest details and the
plant had to be constructed without
change whatever.
When the plant was finally COM
Ileted, II was necessary to have the
approval Of the state board of in
spectors before it could be opened for
business This required several weeks
time, the inspectors making three sep
arate trips 20 the plant, before the ap-
proval was given.
Mr. Parker and his associates now
have four refineries in this country,
having only recently taken over one
just across in Canada from Detroit
The others are at East st. Louis,
Cleveland, Okla, and Pemeta. All
these plants are supplied with crude
oil from this Oklahoma field.

Bcttcr Freight Rates Coming.

Special to The World
DRUMRTGHT, May 29.-Suspense
on the part Of the builders and con-
tractors OF this city who have agreed
to complete certain constructions in
specified times, ended Friday when
the Santa Fee officials notified several
representative merchants Of Drum
right that they would be ready to
quote f. O. b. freight rates into
Drumright on June 10. This is the
first time a specified date has been
named. for a train to roll into the
town which has been isolated all its
life.
Undoubtedly the railroad authori-
ties expect to have the road COM
pIeted several days before the 10th
of June, for it is believed that date
is a conservative estimate giving the
workmen ample time To finish the
work. At least by the 10th of June,
the whistle of a locomotive will be
heard in Drumright for the first time
and the heart of the oil field of
America will have rail connection to
the outside world.

one of the gTeasers one body was
found soon aftcrward, while the other
remained i'm the hole until found by
Wykoff in 1890.
THAT the two bodies, found in the
hole, were those Of Indians, is the
story told by George McElroy. owner
OF the ranch mentioned by Wykoff.
In fact, the ranch has been extended
and now includes the famous hole.
McEIroy was living on the ranch at
the time of the Esphichi war which
ne mentions. This war was between

to McElroy, who says that one fac
tion was finally routed hv the other
led by General Pleasant Porter, later
TO become chief Of the Creeks.
1t was during this war, says Nc
Flroy, that two Indians of one fac
ton killed 4 member of the other,
below Tulsa. The two then put their
families i'm wagons and started for the
PaWnce Indian country They were
followed by members Of the other
faction, headed by the Perrymans,
and were overtaken on Lagoon creek,
near tie Dead Mans Hole.
The two Indians left their wagons
and wadcd into the hole, standing Off
their pursuerS for some time. Finally,
however, both were killed, and the
pursucrs heing' content returned to
the Tulsa locality. one Of the bodies
was recovered by the squaws and it
was buried Immediately by his wife,
who used 4 butcher knife with which
TO dig the grave.
Mexican cowboys, perhaps en-
plCyes of McElroy, learned of the in
cident and reported the matter to the
federal authorities at Pawnee. They
investigated and took one of the
bodies to Pawnee, where it was
buried, Nothing was ever done by
the authorities, The cowboys had
found the second body in the water
and it was this one that the officers
carried to Pawnee McElroy believes
that the creek in overflowing, which
it frequently does, washed the Indian
out of the grave, where he was buried
by his sQuaw, and that it was his body

skeleton, it is said, is still on eXhi-
