MARK W. TOBIN cONGRATU-
LATES AROMORE.

Mark W. Tobn, who sells dry
goods out of st. Louis, was here yes
terday and was commenting upon
Mondays disaster. Mr.. Tobin says
that if such an accident had to occur
to teach people how to handle the
new explosive which wrecked the city,
that Ardmore was in better position
financially to handle it than any 9th
er city in the state. The interest the
big oil companies have in the city
helped out in the relief work, and
took from the city very heavy bur.
den. Mr.. Tobin also says that this
city is to be congratulated upon the
way it was handled There was an
expansion of the civil authorities, but
no martial law was declared, and
there was no necessity of martial law
He calls to mind the absence of any
looting or of any crime, or of any
call upon the state for military aid.
He states that at the time of the
Snyder cyclone he was a member of
the militia and was there on duty for
a week, and when the company left
the Snyder citizens were asking that
they stay longer. In the Kansas City
food the infantry was called out,
and stayed on duty for many days.

coRoNER's JURY ADEQUATE.
Governor Makes Suggestions as 20
Investigations at Ardmore.

oklahoma City, Oct. 2.-The coro-
ner's jury that was empaneled at
Ardmore to look into the cause of the
explosion there that resulted in the
loss of forty-three lives was the re-
suit of the advice of Governor WI
liams given to citizens of that city
who came to him for advice, suggest
ing state investigation or a grand
jury or other measures. Governor
Williams told them that the corone-'s
jury is as old as the English law;
that its methods are the best methods
in such cases that have been evolved
in English-speaking countries: that
the coroner's jury works in the open
and is made up from the body OF the
community and is equal to the task.
Some state officials grew excited
over the Ardmore catastrophe. but
Governor Williams pointed out to the
Ardmore people that the simple plan
that has always been effective will
operate in this case, and that after
this is done will come the question
of civil liability.
1T has apparently not seemed to him
that there is any great probability of
criminal liability in the deplorab'e
occurrence at Ardmore, but if there
be. the way to get at it, is the tried
and commonplace manner that has al
ways served in such cases.
In times OF disaster and turmoil
and excitement, there is always need
Tor the leaders to keep their heads,
the governor told the Ardmore peo-
pie. and this is the time for that
sort of composure."
The governor assigned the state
chemist and the state fire marshal to
assist in making necessary investiga-
tons
