NEWSIES SHOUT FOR JOY
At NEWS OF SUMMER CAMP

A. a meeting Of the Newsboys
club ut the Young Mems Christ
ian association Wednesday night
itswas announced to the newsies
that the Y men would make
every effort to provide free camp
for them at some time during the
summer and the enthusiasm
which followed broke up the
meeting.
II. IL. Townsend, boys work
secretary of the Y, said yesterday
that he would start Immediately
on arrangements for the outing.
According to Mr.. Townsend. the
only thing that will make the
scheme practicable will be for
some men of the city to provide
funds to run the camp as few of
the youngsters can get pennies
enough ahead to pay tuition.
1t is doubtful that the camp
will be held at Tahlequah as ex-
penses would be too great. A site
closer to the city will be selected.

LILY WHITES,

HARMONIZE
ALL LIE IN THE SAME BED, AC-
coROING TO REPORTS FROM
PRECINCT CAUCUsEs HELD IN
CITY AND COUNTY YESTERDAY.

The republicans of Carter county
held their precinct caucuses yesterday
at 2:30 in the country and at 1880 p.
m, in the city, and precinct commit
teemen were elected, and delegates
were also elected to the county con
yention to be held in Ardmore next
Saturday at 200 p. m, and at the
county convention, delegates will be
selected to the state convention at Ok
lahoma city on the 22nd inst, where
the big Four" delegates will be
named to go to Chicago to the nation
al convention.
Delegates will be selected to repre-
sent Carter County at the congress
sional district at Durant on April 4.
A goodly member of local repub-
licans have expressed a desire to rep
resent this county at the state CON
vention and at this time no one seems
to be willing to hazard a guess as to
who will go to Oklahoma City.
One thing is apparent, that the old
factional fights so long the rule in
Carter County have been forgotten,
and if there is any preference for
president, it was not in evidence. The
boys seem to favor an un-instructed
delegation from this county, and Taft,
Teddy, Weeks, Borah, Hughes, and in
fact all kinds and sorts and sizes of
these republicans seem to be lying in
the same bed

To QPR0YlDL-
M EL.EnE:NT
OF STRENGTH
EIGHT OR NINE BATTLE CRUlS-
ERS ARE NOW LACKING IN THE
AMERICAN FLEET, SAYS CAP
TAIN OF THE NEVADA.

Washington, March 14.-Immediate
construction of eight or nine battle
cruisers to provide an element of
strength now sadly lacking in the
American fleet, was urged before the
house naval committee Tuesday by
Captain Sims, commanding the battle
ship Nevada.
The captain also advised the build
ing of many additional destroyers.
He said that while much had been
accomplished toward making arm Dred
ships less vulnerable to torDedoes,
there had been no solution Of the
problem of protecting fleet against
torpedo attack in open sea. There
fore, he said, the navy should have
plenty of fast craft to chase off de-
stroyers and submarine enemies.
Much information was given the
committee by the witness concerning
the navies of the world and their
operations. He said it was improbable
that any great expedition against the
United States ever would start from
the other side of the Atlantic but
that some point in the West Indies
probably would be used as base.
He strongly indorsed the navy do
partment's proposal to promote Of
ficers by selection instead of by SEN
iority.
THE navy is a soft snap to those
who are not ambitious" he said, "hut
deadly to the ambitious ones; as
military proposition this age situa'
tion is rotten; from a social stand
point it is excellent, and as a soft
snap, it's a peach"
Before the committee began its
hearing Tuesday Chairman Padgett
conferred with President Wilson, who
urged him to speed up work on
the naval appropriation bill. The
chairman said he expected the hear
ings to be concluded within two
weeks.
Representative Padgett assured the
president that working majority of
his committee favored substantial
strengthening of the navy and that he
expected no trouble in getting
through the house a naval program
to meet with the approval of the
administration.

ANOTHER RAID
ON RAGT0WN
LAST NIGHT
OFFICERS -sWooP DOWN, TAKE
NINE INDIVIDUALS INTO CUSTO.
DY SAID TO HAVE BEEN VloLAT.
ING THE LAWS OF THE STATE.

Sheriff Garrett and his miniOns last
night paid another unexpected visit to
Ragtown in the oil fields and took nine
individuals into custody which were
alleged to be engaged in violating the
liquor and gambling laws of the state.
The nine were brought to this city
and are now in the county Jail where
they will be held pending their ar
raignment. Yesterday four were taken
before the county judge for this same
offense from the same place, and If
present speed is maintained, it is evi-
dent that Ragtown will have to i'm
port another set of sports to cater to
the taste OF the drillers whom 1t is al
legged cannot get along without booze
or a gambling joint The best class of
oil field operators, however. deny this
charge and do everything in their
power to assist the officers in cleaning
out the dives said to exist in the oil
field metropolis.

today urging that the attorney general
to Sequoyah county to prosecute
cases growing out of the robbery at

county itself, to instruct the attorney
general to go to that county.

EASILY MADE
IN ONE DEAL
AS MANY FORTUNES WILL BE
MADE IN ARDMoRs AS HAVE
BEEN MADE IN THE HEALOToN
FIELD.

There will be as many fortunes
made in Ardmore real estate within
the next five years as there have
been made in the Healdton oil fields.
A deal was made yesterday which
confirms this prophecy.
The B. NJ. Bynum single-story brick
building located on the south side OF
West Main street and occupied by
Hal NJ. Cannon, c. G.. Squires and Mr..
Varnell, sold through Roy Shores to
Harold Wallace for $4,000, and be-
fore the papers were signed Mr.. Wal
lace had been offered a profit of
81 900 for his bargain. 1t has not
been but a short time since $1,000
was considered high price for prop
erty in that district, and now the
price has been doubled, and If Mr..
Wallace chose to accept the profit
offered him the price would almost be
trebled When one days work brings
a profit in clear cash of $4,000, the
people will become interested and
men who have made fortunes in other
cities will be coming here to share
in the prosperity of the city.
A well known oil man recently sta
ted that he would rather risk Ard
more property for profits than oil
lands, and he has made investments
here running into several thousand
dollars. The time has come for profit
making in city realty. The time has
come for larger and better buildings.
Men of means are not fearful of max
ing investments here. The people are
not afraid to improve property, and
$4,000 is as freely invested in con-
struction work as $1,000 was invested
a few years ago. These are condi-
tions that build a city, and these are
conditions here now.
