POSTPONE
MEET TILL
WEDNESDAY,
Chamber Of Commerce Session
Scheduled for Tonight Set
Over; Work Out Details
on Refinery.

The meeting of the Chickasha
Chamber of Commerce that was sche
duled for tonight at the c. of c
rooms, has been postponed and will
be held Wednesday night at the city
hall, the curtain to ring up on what
promises to be Chickasha's "Over
the Top" meeting at $780, according
to T, j. Brown, secretary.
The postponement of the meeting
tonight is the result of a meeting
held Saturday night in the G. of c.
office and which was attended prin-
cipally by bankers. At that time, the
question of a refinery for Chickasha
was taken up to go in connection
with the pipe line project, that is
already under way. Progress was
made but there are details to be
worked out before the proposition
is in shape to put before general
meeting. These details are having
attention today and will be complet-
ed in plenty of time to take final ac-
tion Wednesday night, Mr. Brown
declares.
"If the people of Chickasha want
to see the city go over the top, all
they will have to do is attend that
meeting at the city hall Wednesday
night" said Mr.. Brown. "The pipe
line and the refinery propositions will
be taken up and we expect to raise
100000 at the meeting Wednesday
night About one-fourth of that
amount is already pledged and other
men with money have stated that
they are ready to come in with their
part. | think we will not have any
trouble in raising at least 100000 at
the mass meeting.
"This meeting that is to come will
be the NOSE important ever held in
Chickasha and we are going to do
more than was ever accomplished
at any general mass meeting ever
held here"

TO INDICT
HUNDREDS
FOR CRIME
BY United Press.

Oy OAlAlOu 4CoDs
Paris, March 3.-(Copyright by U.
PD-The commission that is investi-
eating the responsibility for the war
crimes, is expected to report Satur-
day. Hundreds are expected to be
indicted but the United Press is in
formed that the kaiser, Hindenburg
and Ludendorff cannot be directly
punished.
The former military governors of
Belgium and of many cities within
the territory occupied by the Ger
mans are sure to be punished. The
commission will turn over the lists
of names to the peace conference
and the arrests will follow. 1t is
stated that in all probability the Ger
man officials will be photographed
and their pictures sent to the
rogues' galleries of all countries.
THE detailed evidence placed be-
fore us makes the blood run cold''

DOLLAR DAY IS
ATTRACTION in

The business section Of the city is
thronged with people an dautomo-
biles today, the attractions being the
regular first Monday sale and Dol
lar Day of Chickasha merchants.

than normal, said Arthur Ersland,

Business Saturday Night Closes
Busiest Day of Busiest Week
Seen in Real Leasing
Deals.
NINE NEW LOCATIONS
OPERATE BY MARCH IS
Rig Timbers Being Hauled Out
May Complete Betty G This
Week; Two Wells Nearing
Sand.

The outstanding feature of the oil
field is the activity shown in real
trading that marked the close of
business Saturday night and opened
this morning again with the pros
poets for record week ahead.
Saturday in Coment, sero wer9
more buyers of leases than on any
other day in the history Of the field
Also the Chickasha lease operators
closed buy week Saturday night
with the day marking the busiest
since the opening. In this city thl
morning, the thing opened strong
with many oil men from other fields
leaving in cars for the field Prices
have ranged high and are giving
promise of going much higher. The
top price to date that has been
checked up as authentic is a figure
of $3.50 per acre for a small tract
Immediately east Of Cement.
Another feature of the field today
is the statement that nine new To-
cations have been made with con
tracts to start operations by March
Is. The location of these, as to
range, township and section could
not be learn today, but the source
of the information, which is one of
the biggest companies in the field,
states that contracts had been let
and arrangements made to move in
the strings of tools.
All drilling wells are active in the
field and a considerable amount of
hole is being made every day. The
week closed without any other COM
plications but with at least two wells
nearing the sand.
The Betty G in 1868, which is not
finished, but an assured producer
at that, is shut down for the time
being on account of boiler trouble.
The owners would not state when
they expected to finish the well, but
it is known that thereis yet only a
few days work to be put in on the
we'll
The Mill well in 1863 and the I.
w. Williams in 1868 are the wells
that can be considered as nearing
the 2,3O0 foot sand 1t is hardly
probable that either will reach the
sand this week, however.
The Fortuna No. in 35-6-10 and
the Prosperity in $50 which wells
have passed the 1900 foot sand, are
plugging away with the intention OF
