TAR AND FEATHERS
FOR MINE GUARD
ACCUSED OF DISLOYALTY-
BARBER IS FORCED TO
KISS THE FLAG.

Stigler, Okla, April 9. - James
Holt of Mena, Ark, former deputy
United States marshal, who was
tarred and feathered by a crowd at
McCurtain, this county, Sunday
night, after being accused of dis
loyalty, left for Oklahoma City to
make report of the case to the
Blue Ridge Coal Company, by which
he is employed in the capacity of
detective. Government authori-
ties have been advised of the case
and an investigation is said to be
assured. Holt denies that there is
any reason to suspect him of being
disloyal.
Only a small quantity of tar and
few feathers were placed on Holt.
He was not treated as roughly as
previous reports indicated. Holt
was brought to StigIcr to avoid
further trouble. After he had been
paradcd through the streets OF Nc
Curtain wearing an American flag
which he was forced to kiss. Holt
was a federal guard at Prairie Greek,
Okla, during the 1914 strike trou-
bles and was later employed here as
guard during a strike.
Several other persons suspected
of disloyalty were forced by citi-
zens of McCurtain to give assur-
ance of their patriotism. A barber
was forced to purchase war savings
stamps, kiss the American flag and
shout for the president.

made their principal gains recently,
in place Of General Cough, who
commanded it in the first DAYS of the
battle. No announcement of Raw
linSon'S successor has been made
This gives rise to the belief that
General Foch, since his appointment
as commander-in-chief OF the west
ern front, has superseded the Yer
Sailles council in having the direc-
tion OF military operations.
The Irish Question.
The Irish legislation is a matter
for the future. The cabinet pro-
gram before the recess had assigned
April 10 for the introduction OF the
budget, and that likely will follow
discussion of the military act.
II forecasts by several newspapers
OF the character of the reports Of the
Irish convention are true, the cabi-
net is not strictly pledged to take
any action on the report. These
newspapers say that the report does
not consist of recommendations for
government in Ireland, but Is mere
. ly narrative CT the proceedings OF
the convention.
Premier Lloyd George urged the
convention to agree upon a scheme
for the foundation OF a government
which would go to realize the hopes
OF Irishmen all over the world, even
if it LETT questions like finance until
after the war. Whether the conyen-
tons report will furnish any basis
for a bill and whether, II it fails to
meet the premier's hopes, the cabi-
net will put forward some scheme
OF its own, remains to be seen.
Irish Still Threaten.
But Ireland may become involved
in the question OF the military bill.
Gossip has it that the cabinet is con-
sidering statement that compul-
sory service applies to Ireland in
| principle, although not proposing to
enforce it now. Joseph Devlin, the
Irish nationalist leader, who arrived
in London today from Ireland, will
fight even that mild assertion of
Irish responsibility.
Several of the morning newSpa-
pers say there is reasno to believe
that Premier Lloyd George intends
to foreshadow in his speech today
the introduction shortly OF home
rule measure which would set up an
Irish parliament in Dublin with due
safeguards for the Protestant
Church minority and compromise
on the much discussed customs
question. According to one paper
the new bill also is expected to in
clude military service and an execu-
tive responsible to the Irish parlia-
ment, but with no control over
naval, army and foreign affairs.

Liberty Loan War
Trophy Train Delayed;
Remained Brief Period

The French war trophy train,
touring the Southwest in the inter
est OF the third Liberty loan cam
paign, which was due to reach Ard
more yesterday afternoon at ;
o'clock, did not arrive until 7 o'clock
and remained only few minutes.
W. J. Leake, OF the eleventh dis
trict Federal Reserve Bank, Dallas
who was in charge of the train, was
accompanied by John w. Pope
Lawrence Thomas and Paul Jen-
kins, all of Dallas, and Lieut.. r. A.
JardinS OF the Canadian forces. The
train came in over the Rock Island
and was not scheduled to stop in
ArdmOre, this territory being out OF
the Dallas district. The committee
in charge regretted the late arrival
and the disappointment OF the large
crowd at the station.
Mr.. Thomas gave a short address
on the subject OF the third Liberty
loan. He said in part Don't only
buy Liberty bonds with the money
you have saved, but borrow money
at the banks with which to buy
more. Let the boys who are at
the front know that you are with
them and ready to undergo hard
ships at home to help them there
Among the exhibits was an air
plane captured by the French from
the Germans at Bordeaux, France.
This machine had a speed of 124
miles an hour. A German trench
mortar gun, captured by the French
at the battle OF Nerdun, large shell
captured with the mortar gun at
Verdun, and a hand grenade, used
for throwing bombs, were also
shown.
Lieutenant Jardine, who has
charge of the relics, spent three
years in the trenches in France, was
wounded and is now on furlough.
The train remained here only q
short time and was transferred tC
the Santa Fe and left for Marietta

Inquiries are coming TO Ardmore
parties for road oils. The calls are
from Chicago and large eastern
cities, indicating that the demand Tor
this material is unusually great at
this time, and apparently the de
Inand is expected to continue indeh-
nitely. These inquiries have been
referred to Shelby Downward, as the
best posted man in Ardmore on as
phalt and its uses. Mr.. Downard
says:
AT this time, when asphalt, iiuX,
liquid asphalt and road oils, which
require tank cars for transportation
are impossible to obtain on account
OF the shortage Of tank steamers
and tank cars, the rock asphalt de
posts of the Ardmore district take
on a special significance in the i'm
provements planned for military
roads, as this material can be ship
ped in any kind OF car and it is now
being considered for all work OF this
character. The vast supplies OF Car
ter County and vicinity are avail
able for all roads of this character
which may be found necessary dur
ing the war. This material requires
less labor to put it in form to use
than any other material, being on a
parity with other products OF the
quarry, and the constantly increas-
ing price Of the liquid product
makes this rock asphalt the cheapest
material available, besides requiring
less stone for base than ordinary
asphalt"
