VICTIMS MUST
WAIT FOR THE.
DEATH CHAIR
TWO PRISONERS SENTENCED TO
DIE WILL GET REPRIEVE UNTIL
DEATH CHAIR SHALL BE IN
STALLED.

Oklahoma City July death in
the electric chair has been the SEN
tence for several persons convicted
of capital ollenses in Oklahoma during
the last two years. but up to this time
none have so suffered. The last pre-
Ceding administration was opposed to
capital punishment and there was no
electric chair in the penitentiary.
This administration Is alleged not to
be opposed to the death penalty and
there are two death sentences await
ing arrival of the date sent for eXecu-
ton. These dates will be in advance
of the readiness of the electric chair,
however, and Governor Williams has
said that he will reprieve the prison
ers in order that they may be eXecut-
ed in the new chair when the state
board of affairs shall have that instru-
ment of retributiye justice ready.
The state board Of public affairs
undertook several months ago when
the appropriation for a death chair
became available TO build the chair at
the McAlester prison 1t was under
stood that the work was making rapid
progress until last week, when tho
board received bids for supplying the
complicated electrical apparatus that
makes the chair a death chair. Now,
it is understood, the chair will not be
ready for the executions set for July
30 and Aug g. and that they will be de-
layed.
II. C. Moorehead, a negro who killed
Clifford Garrion at Snyder, February
7, 1915, was sentenced to die July 80.
Henry Booklan of Mcintosh County
was sentenced to die in the chair Aug.
G. SO far neither case has been APP
pealed to the criminal court of ap-
peals, and the death penalty will prob
ably be eXacted when the electric
chair shall be ready.

Iohn RinqIinq Returns

Mr.. and Mrs. John Ringing who
came here last Saturday over the San
ia Fe from Chicago, left at midnight
last night. Their private car was at
tached to the Santa Fe train and they
left form Wisconsin. While here, Mrs.
Ringing gave some of her lands
which she holds in fee in jefferson
county, on a drilling contract, and
there are prospects that she will be
the owner of oil wells in Oklahoma be-
fore the end of the year.
Mr.. Ringing said he would return
here within about three weeks. While
here he made purchases in the Head
ton field and has become identified to
a greater extent with developments in
southern Oklahoma. When the gen.
eral offices of his company are com
pleted here, he will spend more of his
time in Ardmore.

NOTH|NG DO
INC g. SAYS
N R. he RI
WAS NOT APPLICANT AND COULD
NOT GET PLACE IF HE WANTED
1T, ACCORDING TO STATEMENT
FROM HIM THIS MORNING.

Perhaps the most surprised person
in the city t'ls morning was our
fellow townsman, r. Herr, day SER
geant at the police station, when he
read in a morning paper that he had
been recommended by the superin-
tendent of thn federal building as
custodian of the same
When his friends began TO congrat-
ulate him upon his good fortune this
morning, he was very emphatic in
his denial of al knowledge of such a
transaction, stating that there were
several good reasons why he could
not receive the appointment TO such
a position without the Intervention
of divine prov dence In the first
place, the position is under civil ser.
vice; second, he would have to stand
an examination for same; and third,
he is barred from doing so by the
age limit. Therefore, he fails to see
where he could possibly land the job,
however bad he might desire to do so.
Mr.. Herr has been superintendent
of the erection of two federal build
ings in his time, one at Paris and
one at jefferson, Tex, and is thor
oughly familiar with ell proceedings
in such matters.
Mr.. Herr hac many friends in this
city who would like to see him land
this job, but he says he was never
an applicant for the place, and never
would be. In fact, when the bill was
passed six years ago, he tried to get
the place for one of OR citizens, and
failed because of the civil service
clause.
Mr.. Herr was office deputy in the
Office of the United States marshals
office at Paris. Tex, and at this place,
from the closing of the civil war up
to two years ago, and his efficiency
is recognized by the department at
Washington, inasmuch as he has been
summoned to Washington on more
than one occasion to unravel tangles
in the affairs of the office.

FINE CORN THIS YEAR
Visitor to Fields Said He Had Never
Seen Quite Such Crop

Albert S. GILES, representing the
Deming Investment Company, made a
trip out OF here yesterday to Baum in
company with F. r. Wolverton. Mr..
GILES says he does not think that he
ever saw as fine corn anywhere as he
saw yesterday along the Washita in
the northeastern portion of Carter
county. He was in corn fields where
he could not reach the first ear on
many of the stalks. In his opinion a
perfect corn crop will be harvested in
that portion of the county.

Research as Science Sees Il

Research in pure science may In
turn be divided into two categorles:
First, the discovery of original ideas
and new phenomena; and, secondly,
the systematic elaboration of ideas al
ready suggested. Investigation OF the
latter type demands, to be sure, a
high quality of intellect and thorough
ly competent training, or it may be-
come worse than useless; but, given
these things, it's success is mainly
dependent on efficient organization
and adequate financial support. Cn
the other hand, research of the fo;mer
type namely, thct leading to the dis
covery of new ideas) demands not
only intellect and training, but also in
itiative or genius; it can come only
from an Individual, and from an in
dividual possessing intuition and in.
sight far beyond those of the aver.
age man. Because of the extraordinary
Importance of new ideas, especial EN-.

There were a few guests at the hotel but all es- caped without injury. The blaze threatened to spread to nearby cot tages,. but the firemen succeeded in ccnfning 1t to the two structures.
 At one time the sparks caused slight fires on the roofs of Merwins and EclSers hotels. Bucket brigades were organized to assist the fire com panies from this town and guards were placed on the roofs of all <he buildings in the center of the resort
 Proprietor Leiehle of the Sound View hotel said he carried only a small in- surance. The building was a three story fram structure and had been erected eighteen years
 John O'Brien and R. C. Gilbert summer residents. who discovered the blaze. said it's origin was undoubtedly due to a lighted cigarette thrown on the ar yleaves under.the porch of the hotel. The fire attracted a great crowd and the reflection could be seen for miles
