BEGIN ERECTION OF
S|X-STORY LAUNDRY
Right Way Company to
Have Concrete and Fire
proof Building.

Concrete is now being poured on Il
siX-story building to be erected by the
Right Way laundry on Cincinnati ave
nue. Immediately back Of Hotel Tulsa.
The building will cost about $4,000
and will be of fir6proof construction
throughout.
The two lower floors and basemcn,
will be used by the laundry and 1t is
possible that the Hotel Tulsa may
lease the four top floors for an annex
to the present hotel building which
is entirely inadequate to the demand.
Some time ago it was announced
that w. y. Robinson. owner of the
building, would add to the size OF the
hotel by building up the rear of the
hotel which now Is only one story
high. Mr.. Robinson is out Of the city
at present and there is no confirma.
ton Of either project.
Reinforced Concrete.
The Right Way building would be
of reinforced concrete and would pro-
vide about one hundred rooms. All Of
them would be outside rooms as an al
leyway is being left around the entire
building. 1t could be easily connected
with the present hotel.
The Right Way structure will be
fifty feet front and 40 feet deep,
making the finest quarters for
laundry in the state. Special equip
ment has been ordered for installa-
tion in the new home and the man
agement expects to occupy the bulid-
ing by the end of July.
j. d. Render. who is head of the
laundry. said yesterday that there was
a possibility that only two stories
would be built at the present time if
the hotel did not accep, the upper
floors. The foundation, however, pro-
vides for six or more stories.

DIVINE VANISHES;
FEAR FOUL PLAY
Officials Investigating Disappearance
of Preacher After an
Assault.

Following closely on an assault
committed on the person of william
Moore. an apostolic preacher, the
minister has dropped out of sight
and members Of his faith living at
Broken Arrow believe that the writ
ers of alleged threatening letters
addressed to the man have made
good their threats to do him harm.
Moore lived at Broken Arrow but
is well known in jerks and Tulsa,
where he has preached many times
Moore disappeared on the night Of
Friday, June 8, after delivering n
sermon at jerks. He received a
telephone communication from
Broken Arrow and one from Tulsa
telling him that detectives had 10
Gated the men who had set upon him
and shot at him a short time pre-
viously at Broken Arrow and asking
him to come to Broken Arrow to
identify the men.
He went to Broken Arrow at once
but found no trace of the person
who had called him on the telephone
or the men who assaulted him and
left that night for Alsuma to catch
train for Tulsa. He has never
been seen since.
Warned to Stop.
About three weeks ago after
preaching at Broken Arrow from
the book of Revelations, Moore re-
ceived several anonymous letters
telling him to quit preaching and get
out or he would be killed. While
en- route to his home. near Broken
Arrow, a few nights later he was
met by some men in an automobile
who fired several shots at him, leav-
ing him lying unconscious in the
road where he was found later
Sheriff James Woolley declared
last night that there was some mys-
terry to the affair, as the hat which
Moore was wearing at the time of
the shooting was punctured by bull
lets in such a manner that it would
have killed him If he had been wear
ing it. The sheriff Is inclined to be-
lieve that Moore had something to
do with the alleged assault.
1t is said that Moore sustained a
bad scalp wound as the result of
bullet grazing his head while another
shot tore away his collar and cut his
neck.
