Washington. Feb 13-The war de-

Locomotive Engineers to furnish fifty
engineers for tank service and 1000
engineers for transportation service in
France. Warren S. stone, grand chief
Of the brotherhood, today told the rail
road wage commission he would furnish

During the Mexican trouble Mr.
Stone said, the war department also
asked the brotherhood for men who
spoke Spanish and were competent to
move troop trains He said he furnish.
ed the names OF more than 300.
These facts were given the commits.
sion to show the patriotism of the on
gineers and the part Of they played in 4
national emergency.
Never before this winter, In the opin-
ion Of Mr.. Stone, have the roads ap-
preached the bad weather season with
so little preparation and with motive
power in such rotten" condition
ut looked as if the railroads were
trying to run down the condition of the
| roads 50 as to run up overtime and
discredit the eight.hour law" said
Stone. Men working twenty, twenty
! five and even thirty hours at a stretch,
he said, were physically exhausted and
not responsible for any wreck that
might happen, Mr.. Stone declared.
do you think passengers on these
luxurious trains would sleep so soundly
If they knew the real condtions?" he
| asked. Back of it all is some amb-
tious official who wants to make rec.
ord by hauling a few more tons. The
only remedy Is penalty time and a half
| for overtime work"
Stone reported that there was a
shortage Of engineers which would ne
cessitate working the men excessive
hours.

TENANT FARMERS
MAY GET LOANS
FROM GOVERNMENT

Washington, Feb 3,-Congressmau
Dick Morgan of the Eighth Oklahoma
district has introduced a bill proposing
to establish a new system Of short
term farm credits, designed to aid ten
ant farmers in building up better sys-
TEN Of production.
The farm loan act Of 1916, Mr.. Nor
gan points out, provides only for farm
mortgage credit, with loans for not less
than five years. short term, personal
farm credit is even more important to
agriculture and the farmers than long
term loans" Mr. Morgan declares. at
is the short time loan on which high
rates of interest are usually paid. Short
time loans are better suited to credit
needed in purchasing farm implements,
fertilizers, farm supplies, the employ.
ment of labor and the general expense
Of making crops. Farm tenants hav.
ing no farms to mortgage, especially
need i short-time credit system"

The Globe considers the presidents
speech shows there is as yet no hope
Of accord between entente nations and
central powers, "and despite the con.
ciliatory tone Of his address," the news
paper adds, that fact is obviously as
clear to the president as to ourselves"
Must Come Into Open.
The Star, which has been a severe
critic of the report of the Versailles Of
fcer, cannot reconcile the report with
the presidents address. The newspaper
says
Wilson speaks in the language of
democracy. The Versailles report is
written in the jargon of old, secret
diplomacy. Secret treaties must be re-
pudiated. Our government must come
into the open and range itself with
America. II this government has Meth.
er the moral courage nor the will power
to break away from the foul past, then
let US have a clean government that
will do so. British democracy is
at one with American democracy in a
determination not to live in a world
governed by intrigue and force"

FOOD SHARK FIRM
COMES UNDER BAN

New York, Feb 13-The federal
board here took its most drastic action
thus far when it recommended TO the
national food administration today that
the food license of b. Baff & Son, Incor-
porated wholesale poultry and egg deal
ers, be revoked for the duration of the
war.
The Bsff firm purchased eggs from
the Iowa Producing Company at 3S l-5
cents a dozen last April and sold some
of them as high as 81 cents to jobbers
at a time the government fixed price
was 46 cents, according to the local
boards findings.
This is the firm whose former head,
Barnet Baff, was shot and killed few
years ago by agents of the so-called
poultry trust, who he had fought.

Chickasha, Okla, Feb. 13.-Ver.
non Keith, a farmer boy who
lives three miles west of Chick.

son that the examining physi

does not keep Keith from doing
his part to help win the war. lie
Is organizing the farmers of Grady
County on a plan Of his own
origin, which if successful will
put a war acre" on every farm
in this county.
Keith's plan is for every farmer
in the county to set aside at least
one acre OF his farm, to plant
thereon whatever crop he may
choose, to give it an especially
good tending, and when the crop
is sold, to invest the entire pro.
ceeds in war savings stamps.
Keith goes further than this, and
Is advocating among the farmers
that they also set aside a calf or
pig, or both, as war stock" and
when sold to spend the entire
proceeds for war savings stamps.

FORESTER TRIAL
SET FOR FRIDAY
CRAVENS, ALLEN AND DONAHUE
TO FACE COURT FOR MURDER
OF HEAI.DTON MAN.

The case of the State VS.. Roy Cra-
vens, Joe Allen and j. c. Donahue, ac-
cused OF murder is set for trial Friday
in the district court. 1t was announced
today that both sides will probably be
ready for trial. 1t was indicated by
counsel for Donahue, on arraignment
day that severance would be asked for
by him.
The three defendants are charged
with the shooting and killing Of Jack
FORESTER at Healdton, on the night OF
May q, 1917.
Forester was the proprietor OF a
motion picture theater at Healdton and
the case attracted much attention both
at Healdton and here as Forester had
formerly resided and had an extensive
acquaintance in this city.
AS the story was related at the time,
Forester and his wife had left the pic
ture theater after it closed for the night:
that he was carrying bag containing
about $23 in money and pistol; on
reaching his home FORESTER gave his
wife the money and pistol to hold while
two men leveled pistols on him, de.
manded his money and shot him. Death
was instantaneous.
Sheriff Buck Garrett and County At.
| torney A. J. Hardy went to Healdton.
as did many other officers, to investl-
gate the case. Two men were arrested
at once as suspects, and one, wanted
| in connection with the crime, was re-
ported to be in Fort Worth. Texas, and
officers went there to question him.
Following this there were many ar.
rests, amounting in all to fourteen, but
after sitting all the evidence then OBJ
tainable, one after the other was re-
leased until all had been freed. The
three men now charged with the killing
were among the fourteen arrested at
that time.
1t was not until last November that
the officers, who had been constantly
working on the case, made the arrest OF
the three men whose trial is now ap-
preaching. One Of them had left here
and gone into the Jack Fork mountains
and it took some time to locate him.
The two who remained in this county
were not arrested until the capture of
the one in the Jack Fork mountains
had been effected. when Horace Ken.
dali, deputy sheriff, who had been ac.
tive in the case, on November "a, 1917.
made complaint in Justice Hal NJ. Can
mons court, charging Roy Cravens,
Joe Allen and j. c. Donahue with the
killing. The prisoners were given a
preliminary hearing before Justice
Cannon, Dec. 3, 1917, and held to the
district court for trial Since that time
Allen and Cravens have been in the
Carter County Jail, but Donahue has
been at liberty under bond for his APP
pearance.
A large number Of witnt ises have
been summoned for the trial. most Of
whom live in Healdton

London, Feb. 13.-Great prominence

lengthy comment they compare it with

master of Hamburg in which the EN-
peror declared that the victory Of Ger.

The Westminster Gazette, after re.
viewing the presidents arguments says:
The kaiser with the glorifcation of

moment, at all events, he and his chan.
cellor seem to have forgotten the reich

Commenting on President Wilson's
reference to the address Of Count Ger

very different note" the Westminster
Gazette says it remains to be seen
whether Count CZernn will be able to
maintain his attitude or whether we will
have a deal with enemies whose stand
point still is accurately represented by
a kaiser resolved to make the world
