HE77Y GREEN, WORLDS
RICHEST WOMAN DEAD
Leaves Fortune Estimated
at SlOO.OOO.N W---IiVed
in Boarding House.

New York, July 3.-Nlrs. Hetty
Green, said to be the wealthiest wo-
man in the world. died at her home
here at sos a. m. today. The for
tune she left is close to Sl00,OOO,OOO,
yet her eccentric extremes of econ
omy led to a popular misconcepuon
of her as "self'made woman" AS
a matter of fact, she was born rich.
In 1865 she inherited some $lO,-
100000, which accumulated upon
itself until in fifty years it had null
tipIied nearly ten times.
She was born on November Il,
1885, at New Bedford, Mass, a city
founded by her ancestor. John How
land. a Puritan, who came over on
the Mayflower. Edward Mott Rob-
ins0n, who had also amassed a for.
tune in New Bedford, married Abby
Rowland, of whom Hetty Robinson,
the future mistress of finance. was
born. She was a belle in New
York society. Even then, however
she lived in a boarding house. and
was so saving that rather than pay
carfare, she would pull a pair OF
heavy wooden stockings over hel
shoes and walk through the snow to
parties.

PASSENGERS GOT THRILL
CROSSING BRIDGE IN STORM

Bogalusa citizens who returned
home Wednesday evening from
New Orleans got a thrill they will
long remember when they crossed
the bridge across lake Ponchatrain.
PASSENGERS state that the lake was
swollen and a tide running so high
with the wind blowing a healthy
gale that the waves reached the
train. The bridge, which is six
miles in length, was crossed without
any accident and those in the train
were greatly relieved when land
was reached. The train arrived in
Bogalusa only IS minutes late.

When you've got a cowpuncher
rider to wake yerself and hump.
Whoa! I'm gonna clinch this saddle
so yer needn't puff an blow;
No use to toss that head of yours
you're getting too darn slow
An sleepy for a cowhoss, you're
losin' all your speed---
| reckon on sheep ranch you'd be
just the horse they'd need;
An you'll be sorry, cause---for those
sheep, they sure smell strong-.-
That when you had cowpuncher

Say! | was only foolin', boss; nc
need to look so sad:
You're the top boss in my string

No need to bite my ear off. you

PATRIOTIC CLUB HAS
OPENED AN OFFICE
Where Ladies Have Under.
taken a More Noble
Work.

The Patriotic Club of Boealusa
held a meeting at the Y. M. C. A.
last Monday afternoon when or.
ganization was perfected and al
ready quarters have been opened
in the Y. NJ. c. A., where a force of
ladies are on duty from 9 to S
to look after the comforts of the
boys who responded to the call of
their country, as we'll as the families
left behind. The object Of the
organization was outlined and the
meeting was a most interest
ing one. Mrs. W. H. Sullivan is
chairman of the organization and
is assisted by Mrs. A. N. Dobbs
Secy, Mrs. Brignac Treasurer and a
committee of fifteen we'll known
ladies who are vice president, and an
executive committee of ten, five
ladies and five gentlemen.
Mayor Sullivan was present and
gave some good suggestions as to
how he thought the organization
should be conducted, the amount of
work required and other information
which was greatly appreciated. The
committee appointed to obtain
office furniture have made the
selection and the offices were open.
ed last week.
Each vice president will give two
hours a day to the work and the
Camp Fire girls have donated their
service as clerks. The Camp Fire
girls also donated the money they
were going to spend for a float in
the parade to the fund and Mrs. E.
E. Lafferty turned over about $3.50,
being the proceeds Of the lawn
party she recently eavs' A fund of
over $1,000 from the Fourth Of July
Celebration was also turned over to
the officers and this connected with
other events given will make a nice
start for the ladies.
Owing to the fact that all en-
ployes of the Great Southern, who
are members of Co., e" and mar.
ried will receive ST per day during
their absence and those who live in
company houses will receive free
rent, it is thought that little assist
ance will therefore be necessary for
those members and their families.
1t was decided to investigate each
case thoroughly and render assist
ance as needed. The boys of Co.,
Co will receive letters every two
weeks, the Enterprise each weekand
some delicacies about once a week
Every indication points that Com.
pany C" will be away from Bog
alusa for year or more and in
view of this fact it was decided tt
keep at work on the fund. Those
who did not donate for the Fourth
of July or for the Patriotic Fund ar
requested to send their name ant
amount to Mesdames Sullivan
Dobbs or Brienac.

APPOINTED
INSPECTOR
Garage Man Spent Several Years as
Plumber in indianapolis Before :.
Coming to Chickasha

They had the mayor going at the
city council meeting last night, and
for the first time since becoming may
or his honor had to cast the deciding
vote when J. c. Rickerts was appointed
plumbing inspector.
The ordinance having been read with
the emergency clause creating the Of
flee and fixing the maximum fees
which might be charged, the appoint
ment Of an inspector was next in or
der. It was believed until yesterday
that A. L. Hollingsworth. mail carrier,
would be the only applicant until yes
terday when the name of J. c. Rick
erts or the firm Of Boone & Rickerts,
loomed on the horizon. Both applica-
tions we're sent in last night Both, 1t
was decided, were competent men and
it then became question Of expe-
diency, of who could.handle the work
with the least Inconvenience to plumb
ers and property owners.
Mayor Coffman said he would ap-
boint the man whom the council fav-
ored and straw vote was taken. The
count was three and three. Gentle
men, you've got me up stump"
said the mayor Then he consulted
the credentials Of the two men and an
nounced that, owing to Hollingsworth
being tied up With the postoffice with
certain hours which must be given to
federal service and that Rickerts was
comparatively free to 60 and come at
any time, he would appoint the latter
Plumbing Inspector Rickerts spent
several years as a plumber in Indian
apohs before coming to Chickasha. He
will have several large inspections to
make in the near future, one Of which
the Mcfarland hotel, will give him an
SIS fee, there being thirty-six pieces
Of new plumbing work to pass on.
During the discussion the wording Of
the ordinance was changed SO as t
make it read new plumbing work in
stead of all plumbing work, although
one councilman suggested that many
landlords would prefer to pay the fifty
cent fee to know that any repair worl
was well done.

DISAGREE ON
AUTO DRIVER
FEE LAW
Ordinance Repeating ST License Held Up
for Amendment Of Law Requiring
Examination Fee

Another respite Of two weeks is Civ
en- to automobile drivers who have not
stood an examination or procured city
licenses for their cars 1t will require
another session Of the city council to
decide what the members want to do
in the premises. Conflicting opinions
we're expressed LAST night as to the
advisabiity Of omitting the seventy
five cents examination fee but all were
agroed that the local automobile own
ers should not be required to pay the
ISL license.
An ordinance was read to the effect
that part OF section 1s ordinance NO.
449 requiring and providing fee Of 81
for a license to run, drive or propel a
motor vehicle" etc, be and here Is
hereby repealed. Also that "this ordi-
nance is not intended to repeal any
other part Of said ordinance No. $40"
and that all fees collected since July
/, 1915, for licenses be refunded to the
parties paying the same, provided such
parties apply to the city clerk for such
refund before July 1, 1917, aud that the
mayor ard city clerk be authorized to
draw warrants on the contingent and
supply fund for said amounts.
Examination Farce
The discussion was precipitated by
Councilman Lorensen when he assert
ed that in his opinion the examination
and attendant payment Of fee OF
seventy-fiye cents was farce and rec
commended that no such examination
fee be required. He cited case, with
out giving his authority, Of man who
had secured four such examination GER
tificates without proper procedure.
This statement was challenged by
Councilman DuBose but Lorensen re-
fused to give his authority saying
however, that his informant was a
well known man on Chickasha avenue

this We're true the guilty party should
be removed from the board Of exami

Mayor Coffman then remarked that
he did not believe that member Of
the board should be entitled to the fec
unless he actually made the examina
tion called for. The simple act o.
signing his name to the certificate o.
a person whom he knew could drive

not, in his opinion, call for such fee
Councilman Linn favored She remova
of this fee altogether. He believed
that some city official could make this
examination without extra charge t.

The bill was then referred pack K
the ordinance committee to be amend
cd, though in what particular regar'
was not made clear in the discussion
