were badly injured here today when
troop train carrying 504 drafted ne
groes from Oklahoma to Chillicothe,
Ohio. was wrecked at Brush Creek
Station, five miles west OF here.
A large proportion of the men mar
rowly escaped death and IL was only
the steel construction of the train
which prevented a heavy toll of casu-
alities. it is believed. No cause for
the wreck has been assigned by rail-
road officials who scout the theory
OF a pro-German plot to wreck the
troop train. Four Pullman cars In
which the recruits were being carried,
left the track an. rolled down a 15-
foot embankment, all the occupants of
the cars being bruised and cut and
badly shocked
All the doctors from Lebanon were
rushed to the scene and rendered first
did services and then the injured were
transferred to town and cared for BY
the hotels. The entire contingent was
held here for several hours while the
tracks were being cleared but pro.

TIRED BUT HAPPY IS
MADAM LOUISE HOMER
Noted Contralto Who Sings at
Convention Hall Tonight,
Makes Big Jump.

"Tred. but happy" was the COM
monplace expression of Madam Homer,
worlds greatest contralto. when seen
at Hotel Tulsa last night, shortly after
her arrival from Chicago. She sings
tonight at Convention hall as the open
ing number of the Apollo clubs annual
winter course.
Madam Homer would talk but a
few minutes, her secretary insisting
that she deny herself TO all callers
and get n good nights rest.
Tulsa means a great deal to me-"
said the singer. 81 have been here
so many times that ii Is almost like
home; and you have so many splen-
did people here. They breathe the
very atmosphere of the west; they
are continually endeavoring to dc
something for you, and when they
have done all that is humanely posi-
BILE, they seem disappointed because
there is nothing more to do.
And your audiences, they are
| lovely. When | sang here alone they
paid me such splendid tribute, but
the real test came last winter when
sang in grand opera at your Con
vention hall There were many other
artists on the stage, and many famous
ones, too, but such an ovation as you
Tulsa people gave me. II was a trib-
ute that I shall never forget"
Madam Homer will sing with the
Apollo club tonight. The program
will start at o'clock and no one will
be admitted to the building while the
artist is on the stage. The advance
seat sale has been very gratifying to
the Apollo club and they look for a
most ausplcious beginning of what
they believe is their greatest course
