TONS
WILL NOT CONE
To ARDMORE
LACK OF HOTEL FACILITIES COST
THE CITY THREE CONVENTIONS
DURING PAST TEN DAYS -
OTHERS MAY REFUSE.

Within the past few days Ardmore
has lost the chance of getting three
different conventions on account of
the present hotel facilities. The la
test that refused to come here, but
went to Enid instead, was the state
convention of the Christian church.
which recently closed a convention
at Claremore. When invited by dele
gates from this city to convene in
Ardmore next year, they were in
formed that the convention could not
consider such proposition until Ard
more had hotels enough to house the
delegates when they arrived.
The grand lodge knights of Pythias
will also convene at Enid next year.
Practically the same reply was given
the local delegates when they in
vited the grand lodge to come here
as was given the Christian church
delegation, Ardmore, in Myrtle lodge
Knights Of Pythias, has the largest
lodge in the state in point of num-
bers, and is adequately able to enter
tain the grand lodge, but the hotel
question loomed up again and the
lodge will convene at Enid in 1917.
The Bill Posters association of Ok
lahoma recently closed a convention
at Tulsa. w. r. Burnitt of this city
was instructed by the business mems
association and the Chamber of Com
merce to invite them to come here
another year The invitation was de
clined for the same reasons set forth
above, and the next annual meeting
will be held at Oklahoma City.
The druggists of the state are now
in session at Sulphur, and an invita-
ton will be extended them to meet
here next year, but the secretary
of the Chamber Of Commerce and the
secretary of the Business Mems asso-
citation have little hope that the in
vitation will be accepted, on account
of the lack of hotel facilities.
"The greatest need of Ardmore at
the present time" said prominent
business man this morning, "is good
hotel, modern and up.to-date, large
enough to take care of any state con-
vention which desires to come here,
and until that is accomplished Ard
more need not look for very much in
the way of conventions"
The above is the sentiment Of ev-
cry citizen who hopes to see Ard
more have d modern hotel within
the next year.

MAYOR MULLEN
HA SRETURNED
To THE CITY
AFTER BUSINESS TRIP TO TEXAS
POINTS, MAYOR is BACK AT HIS
DESK IN CITY HALL - ISSUES
CALL.

After a business trip Of several
days to Texas cities, Mayor Mullen is
back at his desk in the city hall,
and was ergrossed in public bust
ness this morning when asked what
steps he was going to take to revive
interest in baseball in this city. The
mayor stated that he was going to
issue a call for a meeting to be held
at the Chamber of Commerce rooms
tomorrow night at eight o'clock, at
which time it will be determined
whether Ardmore will continue In the
league or drop out. Marietta, Madill
and Ringing are the only ones re-
naming at present, but if Ardmore
drops out another town will be sup
piled to complete the four-team cir
cult. In that event, Mannsville, Tish-
omingo, and possibly Milburn have
been suggested to supply the fourth
place. Mayor Mullen is confident
that the fans will be in favor Of re-
naming in the league after the mat
ter is thoroughly talked over tomor-
row night.

SHARP HOTEL
DEAL SEEMS
ABANDONED
BEGINS TO LOOK AS IF LOCAL
CAPITALISTS WILL BUILD HO-
TEL SEVERAL ARE AMPLY
ABLE.

According to reports from the sec.
retary of the Business Mems assoCa-
ton and the Chamber of Commerce,
the answer of Mr.. Sharp in response
to a telegram sent him several days
ago, relative to his intention in re-
gard to building a hotel, was not very
favorable, inasmuch as he practically
states that he is out of the deal alto
gether.
Mr.. Sharp INDUCED in some very
plain remarks about the manner in
which affairs have been conducted
relative to his proposition, but the
business men, on the other hand,
think that he "has no kick coming" "
since he was assured that he would
be given every consideration possible.
Some time ago Mr.. Sharp sent has
representative before the Board Of
County Commissioners asking that
certain tax penalties be set aside.
l
posed hotel site, but the Board of
County Commissioners refused to do
this, stating that Mr.. Sharp was as
able to pay as well as some who are
not as we'll fixed, and for the further
fact that the board did not wish to
establish precedent of remitting
paving tax penalties every time it
was asked.
1t has been reported, however, that
several property owners in the imme-
date vicinity of the proposed site of
fered to pay the delinquent tax if he
would go on with the hotel. The
matter has been allowed to languish,
however, and there is little chance
that the Sharp proposition will ma
terialize.
Ardmore is going to have a hotel
within the coming year. according to
the statement of both business organ
izations, and the chances are that it
will be built with local capital. Every
encouragement is being given local
capitalists to invest here, and there
is growing feeling that Ardmore
has enough capital to build anything
necessary, without asking outsiders
to come, and then raise a heavy bo-
nus for them.
At the booster meeting soon to be
held in this city it is expected that
some interesting developments will
be revealed to the general public
for the best interests of the city.

TELEPHONE:
QUESTION IS
Up AGAIN
NEW PROPOSITION WHICH THE
COMPANY is ASKING FOR WAS
DISCUSSED BY THE EUSiNESS
MEN THIS MORNING.

The mayor and members of the
Business Mems association met at the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
this morning for, the purpose of dis
cussing the local telephone situation
and to take some action for the bet
terment of the service.
The Pioneer Telephone company
has recently made repairs on the
lines in this city, but there is con-
stant complaint against the service
rendered the patrons. The officers
of the company state that the present
building is inadequate for the COM
pany's needs, and that the switch
board is not large enough to handle
the business. The company agrees,
howevere, to erect a building and
install equipment costing approx
mately 100000, under certain condi-
tions, which follow:
The company agrees to erect this
building and enlarge the plant il the
present patrons will sign an agree
ment allowing the company to eliml-
nate the ten per cent discount now
allowed customers when bills are
paid before the tenth of each month.
For the purpose of getting the senti-
ment of the people, a subscription
list was started by two members OF
the Pioneer Telephone company this
morning, and it is reported that they
succeeded in securing some sisners
before the meeting of the business
men was called to check this.
Mayor Mullen stated that if the
equipment of the telephone company
is inadequate to the needs of the city,
the corporation commission could
and would compel it to install same
without any such sacrifice as the
company asks in its petition. The
mayor recited several facts in con-
nection with his visit to the cor
poration commission on this matter,
and stated that if the business men
of the city will stand behind him he
will compel the Pioneer Telephone
company to give the city adequate
service. A committee, consisting of
]. w. Kruger, Malone Lykins, and
Mr.. Levy was selected to meet with
the mayor and board of commission
ers this afternoon at three o'clock and
to invite the representatives of the
company to be present, that the mat
ter may be thoroughly discussed.
At the meeting this morning, the
question of service was freely dis
cussed, and the concensus of opinion
was that the coming is now getting
all that is coming to it. The action
taken at the meeting this afternoon
will probably determine the action
of the mayor and board of city COM
missioners with reference to the tele-
phone question in the future.

CAR BARNS
ARE 7 D B {
BUILT SOON
TRACTION COMPANY GETS PER-
MISSION TO USE CITY WATER
IN ERECTING AND SUPPLYING
BUILDINGS.

At the meeting of the city commits
sioners last night, permission was
granted |. NJ. Putnam, who repre-
sented the newly organized traction
company to connect water mains
with the city stand pipe north of the
city limits. The company is prepar-
ing to build large car barns and
shops Just north of where the old one
stood, and they will require a large
amount of water, both for doing the
work and to supply the buildings at
ter they have been completed.
The traction company in its petit
ton to the city commissioners, stated
that it would install all of the equip
ment and pay for the water at regu-
lar rates.
The newly organized company evil
IDENTIFY intends to put the line into
operation as speedily as possible, and
during the course of his remarks
Monday night at the business mems
meeting, Mr.. Putnam stated that the
lines would be extended as soon as
the business warranted it. This was
interpreted to mean that the COM
pany would eventually extend the
line to the fourth ward, past the
Wilmington park and on to the ceme-
terry. This has been talked of many
times in the past and at one time
the citizens of the fourth ward Of
fered a substantial bonus for the
line to be so extended.
The new company is composed OF
men who are financially able to put
over anv deal they deem necessary,
and the citizens are anxiously await
ing the time when the lines will be
in operation all over the city.

LAST NIGHTS
SERMON WAS
ABOUT BOOZE
DOCTOR WILLIAMS SERMON ON
TUESDAY NIGHT WAS BASED ON
cHRIST's MIRACLE OF HEALING
THE GADARENE DEMoNlAc.

DR.. Williams preached on booze last
night. His address was based on
Christ's miracle of healing the Gada-
rene demoniac. The announced theme
of his address was: Devils, Men, and
Hogs" He said the scripture from
which his text was taken, was one of
the strangest in all the Bible, that 1t
contained something iof nearly eT-
erything. No other explanation can
be given of the strange, unnatural,
wicked, inhuman conduct of people
than that they were taken possession
of by the devil. He sometimes owns
people, and uses all the powers God
has given them. Mary Magdalene had
seven devils-of seven different varie-
ties. That is bad enough to be sure.
But the Bible tells US of man who
had a legion of them. Christ has
power to cast out all kinds of devils.
In the text the devils used the mans
