GYPSIES ENCAMPED

Monday w. w. Flippor, who resides
In Lynn Lane township, a few miles
from Tulsa, returned to his home and
found a band Of gypsies encamped
around the house. while several OF
them were comfortably located I'm his
home. His wife. who was at home,
was greatly frightened, hut she was
unable to keep the gypsies from en-
tertng the house.
However, Fllppor soon persuaded
the strange men and women to leave
his home, but he was unable to make
them move their camp from near his
house.
Yesterday four John Doe and four
Richard Roe warrants were issued
by the county attorney for the arrest
OF eight members of the party. They
Will be charged with vagrancy. The
band In Lynn Lane township is the
same gang that camped for several
days In West Tulsa. They were ar
rested and charged with vagrancy.
but upon promise 10 leave the county
were discharged.
Flippor told the county attorney
yesterday that the gypsies took moth
ing but possession at his home.

LONDON. Feb. 9.-(7.25 p. ny
Although the British foreign office
tonight claimed that II had not been
advised as to the movements of the
steamship Wilhelmina, bound from
New York Tor Hamburg with a cargo
OF grain. the appearance Of the vessel
off the Lizard shortly after noon to-
day Is generally believed to- indicate
that the ship is making for Falmouth
a port much used for the detention
OF vessels carrying cargoes under in
vestigation.
The policy OF the British govern
ment concerning the Wilhelmina. Il
is stated at the foreign office, has un-
dergone no change. Her cargo OF
foodstuffs destined for Hamburg will
be thrown into "A prize court and the
ship will be released as soon as pos
Hble.
The American commission for re-
lief In Belgium has received no fur
ther advices concerning its offer to
buy the grain and the ship. but Il still
believes a price may be agreed upon
for the transfer OF the boat and its
cargo TO the commission.

Feb. lS. will show the general public
that scnsitIyencss Of her hands which
her friends have been familiar with
for many years
From infancy Helen Keller's hands
have served her as eyes and ears:
her finger tips are so acutely sensi.
tive that she cannot only read char
acter in the hands Of those she
meets, but seldom makes a mistake
in remembering people by the touch
of their hands A short while ago
Miss Keller met few old friends
and some new ones in her hotel par
lor. The hands OF the old friends
were clasped eagerly and with a quick
responsive greeting. one of the gen
tlemen present she had met but once
the day before-but as soon as she
had felt his fingers she called him by
name and spoke Of the previous meet

THE PEOPLES
MONEY.

The legislature is still at it i'm the
same old way at the same old daily
expense. Not single department has
bcen cut down in the matter Of appro-
priations. on the contrary there are
deficiency appropriation bills for a
number Of the departments and bills
providing for an increase in the num-
Der OF employees in some of the bu-
roaus which are already overloaded.
OF course, the members Of the legs-
lature may know what they are doing,
but we beg to remind them that the
present governor Of oklahoma is "a
minority governor, that he got
through by bare plurality and that
there is going to be another election
one OF these days. We beg to remind
them Of that dreadful average which
every candidate on the Socialist ticket
received, there being not five hun
dred votes different between the high
est and the lowest man on the ticket,
and OF the tremendous inroads which
the Socialists have made on the Demo-
cratic vote within the past four years
We beg to remind them Of the his
tory OF the Republican party IN some
of the states where long use OF power
had begotten abuse OF power ana
where long tenure OF office produced
corruption which hurled the bosses
from thelr throne ana brought about
the rule of the people.
We also beg TO remind the lesls'a-

rHE sroILsm5N AT THE HELM.

II becomes more and more appdr-
eut that the High-Binders are In
charge of things at Oklahoma city,
that the tongs which have been dish
ing out the patronage and controlling
the affairs Of state for seven years
have abdicated none OF their powers
and are still in the seats OF authority.
Although it was told and printed
from one end Of the state to the other
that the governor was going to reform
things, that he was going to do away
with useless state officials and useless
bureaus and lap off big chunk Of
running expenses, we observe that
none OF these things have been nor
is any attempt being made in that
direction. All OF the institutions OF
every kind and character have been
taken care OF with the usual drag and
only a few deficiency appropriations
are being held up and all stand an
even show OF being allowed
And we observe with mingled feel
ings of modification and admiration
that the school land commission is

triple coat OF whitewash, to have

when they emerge from the recep-
tacle will be whittier than snow. We
admire the machine for the nerve that
il displays Apparently the lesson of
the November election Is lost on the
boys who have had their noses in the
patronage trough for all Of these
years. They evidently are OF opinion
that the confederate uniform and ap-
proprtauons is still a battle cry which
viii deceive "a majority Of the voters
OF the state. They still cherish the
opinion that the shell game and the
longest route around will stand with
the people
