Gals assert.
Against this claim the

QUARTER OF THAT
AMOUNT IL they would
shorten hours instead of
keeping hours ut their pres
ent length and paying the
overtime penalty.
And the railroads can well af-
ford to pay the probable cost
$20,000,O00 to SIS, 000,OOO-in
view of their increased profits
and the greater receipts, coupled
with the fact that railroad men
are giving the roads greater serv-
ice, because of longer trains and
stronger engines, than ever be-
fore; such is the unions answer.
The New York Central's
profits this year, for instance,
will be 2f.1 per cent, union
officials say!

In Germany i'm the same
time the cost of living has
increased 1870 per cent. But
because Germany's outside
commerce has been paralyz-
ed, her export and many
other manufactures partly or
wholly crippled, there has
been less instead of more de-
mand for labor, and the aver
ages increase of wages has
been slight.
Very few working people are
better fed because of the war;
millions are worse fed.

THE GERMAN GOVERNING

1t will, of course, tie up the

cause indirectly an unestimated

What the workers want is this:
Schedule of pay based on
moving a freight train 100
miles or less in eight hours
or less, instead of ten hours
or less, the present basis.
In other words, the workers
want the speed of freight trains
increased from 10-mile-an-
hour average to a 12k miles-an-
hour average, in order that they
can get home instead of spending
two or more extra hours on the
road.
Twenty-four railroads already
have an eight-hour day, the
union men argue, and none of
them are run by receivers.
AS PENALTY for working

the workers want the railroads

tional crime than that charged
against Roy Hinterliter of Hell
Texas"-the murder of his IT.
year-old sweetheart, Elizabeth
Radcliffe.
Air blown into catheter by

death-a Observation-Disclosures
method of murder, absolutely
without parallel in all criminal
and medical history.
Examination of the girls body
showed an artery had been open
ed by a hypodermic needle, a
catheter inserted in the incision
and air pumped into the veins
The inrushing air caused an air
bubble to. reach the girls heart
Death resulted instantly.
Did Not Intend Murder.
The theory of the state authori-
ties in )lding Hinterliter is that
he did not know what killed the
girl and was as puzzled at the
cause of death as the doctors. II
is not intimated by the prosecu-
tion that the youth had any in
tention of killing the girl.
The murder of the girl, a farm
er's daughter, is the biggest SEN
sation Richland county has had
since the Mollie Price murder IL
years ago.
When Elizabeth Radcliffe came
from West Salem ten months ago
to live with her sister, Mrs. Bert
Francher, she was a happy, pref
ty, care-free girl. She had known
young Hinterliter before but is
said to have favored the atten-
lions of Sam Harm, an Olney
boy.
Hinterliter called on her only
occasionally until Harm was call
ed to the colors when the-Fourth
Illinois marched to the border. :
Thought She Had Tainted.
With the field clear, Hinter-
liter's attentions to the country
girl became more marked. They
went buggy riding often. Their
last ride, the police say, was on
the night the girl died under an
|old elm tree two miles south OF
Olney.
When Hinterliter drove to a 10.
cal hospital with the girls body
across his knees, he said, accord
ing to authorities, she had faint
ed.
Autopsy showed she was
about to become a mother.
There were no marks of vio-
lence on the body. Physi-
clans were absolutely at a
loss to tell the cause of
death.
During the examination a sur
geon accidentally cut an artery
An air bubble came from tn,
wound.
This led to an investigation
which showed the girl had diet
from air bubbles reaching hel

THE SPRINGER
PICNIC WAS
BIC SUCCESS
CANDIDATES. TELL THE DEAR
PEE-PUL ALL ABOUT THEM.
SELVES AND THEIR RIVALS -
BIG BARBECUE.

The big picnic and barbecue at
Springer Saturday was a most dc.
cided success and was attended by
the largest crowd that has so far as
sembled to hear the candidates at any
point in the county.
The good people of Springer and
vicinity had prepared a most sump-
tuous barbecue and there was ample
for all who desired to participate.
A picnic with the dancing cut out
would be like a circus minus the pea
nuts and red lemonade, so there was
a dance in continuous operation from
early morning until late into the night.
All the candidates were given the
privilege of telling the dear people
just what they stood for and what
they expected to do for them if they
were elected to office. The crowd
listened patiently to them, but it was
evident that their remarks changed
few votes as the people as a rule
have already made up their minds how
they were going to vote, and the
oratory for the most part was wasted
effort.
This is the last week of the cam
paign, and the candidates are making
their last strenuous effort to corral
votes. Tuesday night there will be
speaking at the court house lawn, in
which all the county candidates will
participate, and after that the candi-
dates will confine themselves to indi-
vidual efforts all over the county dis
tricts.
Some of the wise ones have already
made out the state and county ticket
and announce that they are willing to
back their judgment with little of
the current coin Of the realm. How
ever, anyone is privileged to guess
and sometimes guesses are entirely
wrong. One week from tomorrow
night will tell the entire tale, how
ever, and then the voters will know
for a certainty just what the will of
the people is.

Sapulpa, Okla, July 24.-Local
$45O,OOO will be spent improving the

house containing thilty-eight stalls,
additional machine shops and tracks
will be installed
No work will be done here until

ped to take care of the largest and
most powerful engines on the line.
Each engine track will be provided

The new machine shop will be con-
structed of either brick or reinforced
concrete. They Nll be equipped with
modern machinery for handling the

DRILLING NOT so ACTIVE.
Probable That Not More Than 20
Rigs Will Run During Next Month.

Magnolia Petroleum company is
running about 25 per cent. of the oil
from its patrons. These runs are
rather light and producers are shut
ting down operations. Nearly all
operators are now drilling only off
set wells and it is the opinion of men
who are well informed that during
the month of August not more than
twenty strings of tools will be in
operation in the field. The decision
of the Gates Oil company gives fair
idea of what the producers are doing
under the circumstances This com
paIy has been running eight strings
of tools and six of these will be laid
off and only two will be kept busy to
protect the properties of the Gates
company in the drilling of offset
wells. McMan, Coline, RoXana and
other big companies are doing about
the same thing.

\ number Of county candidates held
a meeting this morning and made
arrangements for the Ardmore speal,
ing tomorrow night.
The speaking will be held at Con
yentio1 Hall instead of at the court
house, as previously planned The
change is better because convention
hall is seated and lighted and il is
cool and airy, and the people will be
more comfortable, and the speakers
will have better opportunity t.

Remember convention hall and re
member Tuesday night.
Felix X. West, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, has been Sc
lected to preside at the meeting rs
chairman.
Each candidate will be requested to
contribute something toward the eX
pense of the evening and the money
taken in will be used for the free fair
buildings at the county fair grounds
Mr.. West, who is deyoting much time
to the fair, is anxious that every can
didate give as literally as he can.
The suggestion has been made that
query box be placed on the platform
at the meeting, so any voter could
answer any question he desired, and
hear the reply.
Mr.. West stated today that the
query box was impractical for the
reason that every candidate will want
few minutes to appear before the
people. If questions are fired in to
a candidate, he must answer them
and one candidate under such circum
stances would require all the time OF
the evening There will be no query
box for that reason.
Another rule has been made, and
that is there will be no personalities
INDUCED in. Public records will be
open, but no man can be attacked with
reference to his private affairs that
are not german to the issues Of the
campaign No one will go away will,
his feelings hurt, there will be good
