CAPITAL WON'T GET
FEDERAL BUILDING
Postofficc Addition Held Up Until
100000 More Can BE
Raised.

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 27.-Okla-
homa City will have to be content
with the present federal building un-
I'll more money can be appropriated,
according to Postmaster Claude Weav-
er, who returned from Washington.
ID. c., yesterday. Mr.. Weaver attend
ed the national convention OF post
masters, but found time to take the
matter of the federal building addi-
tion up with the general
and other persons in authority.
The appropriation of $3.50, 900
which was made five years ago has
promed too small a sum. as the price
of materials has increased so radically
since the appropriation was made. 1t
is estimated by Mr.. Weaver that it
will require at least s350.000 to make
the additions necessary. 1t is not eX-
pected that additional money will be
allowed for the work at the present
session of congress

35 HURT WHEN
TRAIN WRECKS
AT OPEN SWITCH
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

Sand Springs railway which is about
fifty feet north of the head of the
siding. the engine whistled twice, but
did not slow up perceptibly.
When about fifty feet from the
switch the engineer, according to his
version, saw that he was set for the
siding instead of the main line and
threw his entire force of brakes. The
wheels of the engine were reversed
and locked, but the heavy train slid
tho entire distance into the switch
engine.
II is estimated that the train was
travelling at a rate of eight miles per
hour at the time Of the collision.
The heavy Frisco engine. backed by
a long train of oil cars, stood its
ground well, suffering only smashed
front end The lighter Midland VAL
lev locomotive rebounded and its
tender was telescoped into the mail
car with which it connected The
tender forced its way almost on top Of
the mail car, seeming to climb 1t. The
mail car was demolished. No other
cars were derailed.
Passengers Thrown About.
The shock threw every passenger
into far corners Of the coaches. Backs
of seats were broken by bodies crash
ing against them. Mad with excite
ment. the passengers fought to gain
exit. Only the fact that a majority Of
the travellers were men saved further
accidents during the rush for the
doorways.

STRONG BULL SALE
IN MET. Police PED.
Stock Listed on Washington
Exchange for First Time
Today.

Metropolitan Police pfd. was listed on
for the first time In the history of that
institution and trading in the new stock
was about as lively as anything that
has happened.
Just what pfd means Is known only
TO the stock brokers and the gentlemen
who gain great pleasure watching deci-
mails perform on n large blackboard
every afternoon. But II made a great
hit. The market opened with a furry.
Then there was a bull unconventional
being the slang for running up the
price as well for cop.
The bull movement was succeeded by
a lull while the representatives of the
bulls-meaning cops-and the repre-
sentatives of the bulls-'meaning those
who ran up the precinct in the center
of the exchange and the bulls-meaning
cops again-took checks and real money
from the bulls-meaning once more the
fellows who ran up the price-giving
them in exchange certificates OF shares
in the boxes at the police athletic carni-
val at American League Park pext Sat-
urday afternoon.
Then the two sets of bulls went at II
again and the amount " bull thrown
about the exchange set a record for
stock operations in the history of
Washington. Sometime this afternoon
the bulls--for the last time meaning
cops-will determine Just how much
money they gathered from the brokers'
today.
The Stock Exchange operation this
morning succeeded the auction sale or
last night at the New Willard Hotel.
The auction resulted in the sale OF a
bunch Of boxes for the benefit and the
collection OF some 81" of unearned In
crement from the holders thereof. w.
