DENIED BY OFFICIALS
Confusion Among Shippers as
Result of Unfounded Re-
ports Circulated Here.

A report that an embargo was to
be placed on the shipment of all per
ishable goods by the railroads in
Tulsa was branded as absolutely un-
founded and erroneous today by
Chief Clerk Rcoco of the Frisco here
Agent McCarnahan of the Santa Fe
and Agent Dunn of the Katy, all three
stating that they had not been ad-
Vised of any movement in regard to
an embargo
Whoever circulated the report
was dreaming" was the statement Of
Santa Fe Agent McCarnahan when
questioned in regard to the Santa Fe's
standing on the matter this afternoon.
He stated that no embargo whatever
had been as much as contemplated
by the Santa Fe and that the report
was unfounded. Were wide open:
let 'er come" was Mr.. Carnahan's ad-
vice to Secretary Adams of the tulsa
Traffic association this afternoon.
II haven't heard details OF the re-
port or how II originated yet but
what can learn II is unfounded and "A
huge mistake" stated Chief Clerk
Rcece of the Frisco when appriscd of
the story yesterday. 81 heard a rumor
to that effect but gave it no atten-
ton" he continued.
Agent Dunn, representing the Katy
interests in the city. stated that his
road had contemplated the plac-
ing of an embargo on perishable or
live freight that was bound east of
the Illinois Missouri line. However,
no steps had been taken in the dec
laration of the embargo. according
to his statements
The report intimatod that an EN-
barge would be declared on account
of the congested condition Of the rai!-
road yards in the east. the huge ship
ments of munitions thru Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New York tying up the
lines and paralyzlng traffic. In order
to relieve the situation and avoid
claims Of damages against the COM
panies. the roads had jointly refused
to accept perishable or live freight
for shipment beyond the above speci-
fled line, according to the report. The
unfounded report caused much con-
fusion yesterday among shippers.

So -Year-Old Woman
Drives Motor Car

Mrs. Juliet Calhoun Blakeley, 80
years old, of Albion, Mich, in whose
honor Mothers Day was inaugurated
recently recovered from an attack of
pneumonia and celebrated her re-
turn to good health by taking sew
eral long motor trips in the Dodge
Brothers motorcar with which her
son presented her.
More than twenty years ago her
son first celebrated Mothers Day for
Grandma" as she is affectionately
known in Southern Michigan, and
for many years the Albion Meth
odist Episcopal Church has observed
the Sunday nearest her birthday,
May 13, in her honor. as she is the
only person who has maintained
continuous relations with the church
since its founding.
The efforts of the Albion Metho-
have eXerted such a wide influence
that Mothers Day is now universally
observed throughout the country on
the second Sunday in May.
Despite her years. Mrs Blakeley is
an enthusiastic tourist. On one day
in particular, with her son at the
steering wheel and accompanied by
several friends. she toured three
counties and twelve townships, the
speedometer registering almost $50
miles when the trip was completed.
And when she reached home, she in
sisted on being allowed to assist in
the preparation of the evening meal.
Her touring activities however
have not been confined to the rear
seat. for she herself has driven her
Dodge Brothers car more than fifty
miles, an enviable record for a
woman of her age.
