SOME MAY DAYS.

Who is able to recall that ''spell of weather
that lowered in and about Keokuk sixty-hve
years ago today? On May 2, 1851, five inches
of snow covered the ground here. During the
first week of May, 1855, one of the worst storms
recorded visited this vicinity, and, according to
the Keokuk Dispatch newspaper of that day
and one doubtless habitually disposed to speak
the truth, hail to the depth Of four feet fell on
the farm of G. Creel near West Point Present
day residents of Keokuk and vicinity who have
been matchmaking the weather man for of
fering brand of temperature not at all spring
like would appear to owe that official an apol-
ogy in view of occurrences in the fifties.

reports that 1000 merchant vessels of about 4,

for other purposes or by violence in war. Mines
have sunk ninety-four ships and submarines

English have lost 225 merchant ships to subma-

Germany is short 600 ships in commerce, but
many of them are waiting in internment. Aus

plenty of evidence that the United States could
find business for thousand or more merchant
ships even after the is over.

GOVERNOR SQUEALS
AT HOT CHARGES
Declares He Did All He Could to
Make Registrars Come Across in
Voting tumble.

Special TO The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY. July 7.-Rela-
tive to the charge by Chairman Arthur
II. Geissler that henchmer of Cover
nor Williams had apparently entered
into a conspiracy to prevent some Vot-
ers from getting pamphlets and argu-
ments relative to the state questions
to be voted on at the coming primary
election, Governor Williams today
called attention to letter he had
written to the county registrars on
June 21 on that date only five cCun-
ties had come in with the names. The
governor says he sent n letter to all
who had not responded at that time
urging them to send in the lists i'm
mcdiately.
The governor realized that it would
be some expense to prepare the lists
and as It had been intimated that the
registars did not make the list be-
cause they were not paid to do it, the
governor suggests that he would
recommend to the legislature passage
of small appropriation to pay them
for the work.
The governor gave the assurance
that efforts were now in progress
whereby the remaining lists will be Sc
cured, and the pamphlets will be sent
to the voters soon enough so that the
spirit of the law will be complied with.
There are fifty-siX counties in which
no documents have been sent.

GREAT ACTIVITY
IN CONSTRUCTION
Contractors Kept Busy Completing
Old and Beginning New
Houses.

Building activities in Tulsa con-
tinue to keep pace with the incrcas-
ing bank clearings, pCstoffice receipts
population and general prosperity of
the city.
During the first six days Of the
present month. more than thirty
building permits were issued for
structures costing from $500 to $4,000
and it is expected that with the in
creased facilities Cor securing an
abundant supply of sand for erection
purposes the number of permits Is
sued from the offices of the city's
building inspector will show a great
gain over the number for the past
month and may even exceed those of
April or May. two banner months in
the history OF Tulsa
The scarcity of sand during the
past three weeks resulted I'm a slight
reduction in building activities and
the work which was in progress dur
ing the last two weeks OF June was
confined in large measure to the
completion of buildings already un-
der construction such as the Culbert-
son buildings on Fourth and Boulder,
the Calais building on the corner of
Fourth and Boston; the setting of the
forms on the new high school building
and other large structures already un-
der way.
