MANDAMUS
PROCEEDINGS
DISMISSED
PRUITT AND WALKER CASE WILL
BE HEARD BEFORE JUDGE
FREEMAN - CASE WILL BE
TRIED AT THIS TERM.

The mandamus proceedings prayed
for in the criminal court of appeals by
James H. Mathers, who as attorney
for Carl Pruitt and Tom Walker
sought to have Judge Freeman re-
moved from sitting on the case have
been dismissed and Judge Freeman
will preside when the case comes to
trial
The reason assigned was the fact
that the court did not wish to estab-
lish a precedent of removing district
Judges at the behest of those who de-
sired their removal, sometimes for
personal and not legal causes, and af-
ter due consideration of the facts by
Attorney Mathers he decided to ask
for its dismissal.
This case which involves some
prominent citizens of this county will
come up for trial some time during
the present session of court,
At midnight last night the jury in
the case of the State VS.. Dave Slate,
returned a verdict Of guilty and as
sessed the punishment at six years
in the penitentiary.
This is the case wherein the plain
Tiff is said to have waylaid and shoot
one r. r. Roland near Roundup last
June after a difficulty arising over the
possession of some farming tools. The
defendant and deceased were distant
relatives, but it is alleged that they
have been at outs for some time.
The verdict of the jury was sur
prise to all attorneys who have fol
lowed the case closely. They predict,
ed that the punishment would be
much heavier than assessed by the
jury.
Today the case Of the State VS..
Fate Carruthers. charged with at
tempting the theft of an automobile
is on trial.

POLICE WILL
co At TER ALL
SPEEDERS
THOSE WHO DRIVE
RECklESSlY PAST SCHOOL
HOUSES WHERE CHILDREN ARE
LIABLE TO INJURY.

For some time Superintendent c..
w. Richards of the city schools has
been hoping that drivers of automo-
biles would use a little precaution
when passing school buildings, in or
der that they might not injure chill
dren who were on their way to school,
but inasmuch as the reckless ones pay
little or no attention to the safety of
others, Yesterday afternoon he ap-
pealed to the police department and
in the future there will be a lot of
surprised individuals hailed in the city
court for reckless driving.
Assistant Chief of Police Will Fra
sher assured Superintendent Richards
yesterday that he would personally
see that the speeders would be ar
rested and further see that when
they were brought into the city court
and fined that that fine would not be
remitted.
The city attorney has been instruct
ed to draft an ordinance covering the
traffic laws of the city City officials
state that the one now in force is not
even a good chimney corner law"
and cannot be enforced. They say
that in the future drivers will have to
comply with the very letter of the
law and that the young children of
the city will have to secure a permit
before they are permitted to drive a
car at all.
This drastic measure is becoming
necessary from the fact that the num-
ber of cars in the city is rapidly in
creasing and that the congested down
town districts are extremely hard to
navigate even by an experienced
driver.
The city attorney will have the new
ordinance ready to present to the
Board of City Commissioners when it
meets tonight.

Of
CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
HOLD MEETING YESTERDAY AZ
TERNooN AND HEAR REPORTS
OF IMPORTANT COMMITTEES.
DEPOT QUESTION SETTLED.

The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce met yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of hearing reports
from several important committees
and suggest future plans for the well
fare of the city. The transp0rta-
ton committee was the first - re-
spond with the following report:
we your committee on jransporta-
tion recommend that permanent
macadam toll road be built from
Ardmore to the oil fields and that
papers of Incorporation for IN amount
sufficient to construct the road be
Immediately filed and work commenc.
ed at the earliest possible moment.
We your committee will, If this IS
approved, get to work on disposing
of the stock and building the road"
(Signed) Writ Franklin, chairman;
]. L. Hamilton, B. A. Simpson, Bar
ney Feagin, Denny Fitzgerald, mem
bers of the committee.
In making the report Mr.. Franklin
stated that regardless of any railroad
facilities to the field this road
should be built and that if the board
of directors approved of the plan he
and his committee would "do the
work" The report was immediately
adopted.
The matter of accepting the revis.
ed plans of the Santa Fe depot was
disposed of by accepting the report
of the committee which favored it..
l. NJ. Putnam, however, vigorously
opposed acceptance, still maintain
ing his original position that the Do
pot should be larger and built with
view to meeting future conditions.
Considerable time was consumed on
this matter, but when the final vote
was taken Mr.. Putnam was the only
one to vote No. "Its not matter
of opposing the Santa Fe. That road
deserves the utmost consideration
and gratitude OF this city, but &c co
not have to surrender a principle to
do this. | think yet that We couI
show them where they could give us
a much better and eommodious stsuct-
ure at little extra cost"
The band committee headed by Ar
thur Adams made its report and ask
ed that the Chamber of CONNIE zee
guarantee the committee $500 a
year for this purpose. Mr.. Adams
stated that the committee could So
cure a man of national reputation as
director and composer and that
the band would be made self sutan-
ing. The matter of financing the
band was referred to the committee,
which will make another report
