CARS DIVERTED
were RETURNED
SAYS KENDALL
Ceal Carriers Were Taken From
Excess Supply of One Road
For Short Trip East.

Last week it was reported to
various shippers of this locality by
railroad companies that cars able
to be used for Transporting coal
had been sent to the eastern coal
trade.
AS a shortage of cars already ex-
lists this was the cause of some
alarm and indignation in local bust
ness circles. Several of the trade
institutions of Rock Island immedi-
ately dispatched kilograms to the
railroad administration deplOTing
the fact that cars were being sent
away from here, and demanding
that this fact be remedied.
Among the wires sent was one
signed by E. J. Burns, secretary
of the quad-city builders exchange,
in which he said: ANY movement
Iessening the supply of coal carry
ing cars in this locality will work
a great hardship shortage exists
now" In reply W c. Kendall, di-
rector OF car service in the admin
istration aid that the only cars
taken were from a road which had
at one time more than it could use.
Use Was Economical.
The only diversion" he said, of
western region coal cars to the
east was at a time the road taken
from had surplus in excess of
cars diverted. Cars sent eastern
region lines served Illinois fields
one round trip. Result: Addition
al thousand loads from mines hav-
ing orders, after which cars were
returned to owning line, also, in
creased production and better rail-
reading than if cars had been al
lowed to remain idle"

"If good cheer and enthusiasm
count for anything" said Joseph
H. Schreiner, chairman of the dep
uties' association, who presided at
last nights meeting, this picnic is
going to be a record-breaker. Ev-
cry man and woman on our COM
mittee is showing a heartfelt inter
est in the affair, and it promises to
be even more of a success than we
had hoped. The Royal Neighbors
are boosting loyalty and we look
for a monster crowd to see our
Woodmen candidates ride the goat
under the direction of Consul M.
T. Stevens and his husky foresters
of Camp 26. 1 never saw a more
enthusiastic bunch than we had at
our meeting last night, and they
seem to be getting more Jealous, if
anything, as the day of the picnic
approaches. We are more than
pleased with the outlook"
AS this is the first county Wood
men and Royal Neighbors picnic
held for many years, the commit
tee feels that the unusual interest
manifested suggests the advisable
ity of making the event an annual
occurrence and is accordingly TAX
ing extra pains to satisfy the de-
mand for a real get-together fam

Ardmore but also to furnish fuel
for the refineries whose fuel re-
ouirements will require several
million cubic feet OF gas daily.
1t is fortunate for Ardmore that
this large area of gas producing
territory is available to supply To-
cal needs. The reason that the
rock pressure went down so fast
in some OF the Gypsy's wells was
due to the fact that The Lone Star
Company which furnishes GAS to
Dallas, it. Worth and other north
Texas cities has taken the bulk OF
its requirements from the Gypsy's
wells. The company's require
mcnts has reached as high as 49,

ten times the average daily con-
sumption bv the CITY OF Ardmore.

the local company will draw its
gas requirements in the future

Fred +. Tucker of Ardmorc, in the
assignment OF committees of the up

chairmanships and was placed on
ten OF the most prominent commit

likely handle Governor Robcrtson'S
message recommendation on The

as the result of the movement

NATURAL GAS SUPPLY
ASSUREDFOR ARDMORF,
BY RECENT CONTRACTS

As a result Of over month 5
the Ardmore City Gas
Company, which supplies gas from
the Fox field to the Consumers
Light x Power Company in this
city, has closed a contract with
{. X. Smith, the Humble Oil &
Refining Company and the Fox
Petroleum Company, which will Sc
cure for Ardmore plenty OF gas
indefinitely in the future. Through
this contract the local company
secures the rights on about 1000
acres OF practically proven gas
acreage in the heart OF the Fox
field.
In June, 1910, succeeding the
discovery OF gas in the Fox field,
the Gypsy Oil Company made a
contract with the local gas com
pany whereby gas was furnished
from the Fox field to the city OF
Ardmore. During the lie OF the
contract differences arose between
the Gypsy Company and the local
gas company, with the result that
the local company was allowed gas
from only one we'll in the Fox
field. Until last iall this well
proved ample for the needs OF the
company. The first cold days OF
the fall weather revealed, however,
that the rock pressure and volume
OF the we'll to which the company
was connected had decreased to a
point where it could not furnish
a sufficient supply OF gas through
the six-inch pipe line to take care
of the needs OF Ardmore. If the
local company had been dependent
solely on this one we'll during the
last thirty days the city OF Ard
more would have been almost en-
tirely without gas during the cold
est days,

STARVING PEOPLE IN

London Jan. l5,-Hunger riots
took place in Petrograd on Sat
urday and Sunday, according to
adyices received here. Ten thou4
sand people paraded through the
streets shouting for bread and
were fired upon by bolsheyist
troops who are said to have

hunger, the crowds are reported
to have asked the soldiers to fire
upon them
Dispatches state that not a
single piece OF bread is to be
found now in Petrograd and
that unground oats are being
given to the people.
Propagandists, disguised as
refugees, are said to have been
sent into Finland by the bolshe-
visits. The police there recently
discovered several organizations
which are alleged to be plotting
a new insurrection.

Paris, Jan l5.-The supreme

from Poland and Armenia, has con-

The bulk OF the foodstuiis must
