"TROT OUT THE CRITTER.

j. Roy Williams, editor of the
McAlester News-Capital, is anxi-
Gus for the legislators to get the
good roads bill in shape for a
look-over. He writes of the
pending legislation as follows:
1.-The state Legislature appears
to be having quite time of it
with the good roads legislation,
marching lfS the hill and down
again, with the members now
and then going round and round
with each other, but then this
should not be disheartening to
the friends of good roads in the
state. 1t could not reasonably
have been expected that meas

MISTAKES OF THE "Y."

That the Y. M. G. A. war ma
chinery was by no means per-
feet, is frankly admitted by Of
ficials Of the organization but in
view of the vast amount of good
accomplished by the workers, as
well as the inherent difficulties
of the tasks which it had to
handle, the public may well be
exercise charity in taking ae-
count of the faults. The atti-
tude of the organization itself
in regard to the manner in which
its work was conducted is indi-
Gated by a letetr from the pub
licity director of the southern
department to the editor Of the
Express. In part the letter is
as follows:
AS you are aware, the Y
M. c. A., like the government, is
coming in for its share of .criti-
cism. Not all Of this criticism is
just, but much of it is just, for
the Y. M. c. A. overseas was as |
imperfect as humanity, taxed to |
its extremity, is imperfect. Of |
the ten thousand men in the
service of the Y. NJ. c. A., there
were known to be at least three
crooks and many incompetents.
Humanity is so humanity human,
so criminally-big- so
magnanimous when it comes to
dislike to do another human a

ably good bill to be submitted to
the people Of the state for their
approval. 1t will no doubt be a
compromise measure. Some Of
its friends will have to surrender
their pet ideas in a get-together
move. The suggestions made by
the Oklahoman appear to have
raised quite a hullabaloo in the
house Of representatives and yet
the Oklahoman is acting clearly
within its rights in taking any
position it chooses, either before
the bill is formulated or after.
The News-Capital is in favor of
a liberal measure for the con-
struction of a system of hard
roads, but it has not attempted
or felt it incumbent upon itself
to work out the details. 1t in
sists, however, that law be sub
mitted by this session of the leg
islature, and when it is finally
submitted, if it appears to be to
the best interests of the. state,
the News-Capital will support
it; otherwise, it will oppose the
proposition. Gentlemen of the
legislature, trot out your good
roads critter and let us look

CHANGES ASKED FOR

Creation of a permanent national bu-
reau of transportation, together with
continuance of state organizations, was
recommended as one of the most i'm
portant steps in the work of recon
struction at a meeting of highway
transport officials from all parts of the
United States, held recently in Chica

Over 200 Soldiers and Nurses
Taken From Transport But
Sick Yet On Beard
SEAS RUNNING HIGH

New York, Jan. 2.-Battling today
against a rough sea, which capsized
three of their boats, coast guards
from many stations, aided by crews
from nearly twenty naval craft, had
by nightfall taken safely to shore sew
enteen navy nurses and 23I of the
240 homeward- bound soldiers on the
United States transport Northern Pa
cific, hard aground for two days on Il
sand bar near Fire Island light.
When many barrels of oil spread on
the waves had failed to make the wa
ter surrounding the vessels measura-
bly, calmer, the rescue work was halt
ed until morning. Remaining aboard
the Northern Pacific are most of the
sick and wounded. Naval officers
deemed it too hazardous to attempt to
remove the " streteher cases.p
The vessel is in no danger, accord
ing to wireless message from her
commander, Captain Connolly, re-
ceived tonight by the Associated
Press.
At daybreak it is planned to renew
the work of rescue in earnest. Life
saving crews from Sandy Hook and
Rockaway are planning to leave at
midnight in their power boats to be
on hand at dawn. With the aid Of the
squadron of cruisers, destroyers ard
naval tugs now guarding the stranded
vessel it is planned to transfer the
wounded to the hospital ship Solacc
and take them direct to Hoboken.
A message received tonight by Vice
Admiral Gleaves at embarkation head
quarters in Hoboken, stated that the
Northern Pacific had enough boats Of
all classes to land passengers if the
sea calms down, which the message
predicted would happen tomorrow.

traffic must always be limited, while
maintenance costs will always remain
high.
Reports from all sections of the
country showed that it has been posi-
BILE to bring about Il marked inciease
in marketing through improved trans
portation wherever the road would
stand the traffic. The conclusions
reached were that all that is necessary
today to add untold wealth to the re-
sources of the country, together with
an enormously stimulated production Of
all kinds of supplies, is a road system
which will not only open up the virgin
territories of the west and south, but
which will quicken the pulse of trade
in the most congested districts of the
east, where the casual observer might
believe that traffic has been fully de-
veloped, but which close students say
could be geared up to a remarkable
extent through efficient use of the
highways.
In standing by the creation of fed
eral road commission, the officials Of
the body expressed their belief in tn"
feeling now generally prevalent through
out the United States among road men,
that the time has come when transport
alton on the highways is deserving of
more substantial recognition than that
| accorded it as bureau, which, while
it has been as efficient as the limita-
| lions of the laws have permitted, woul |
| be dignified if 'evated to the rank of
a commission, ami would make possible
| representation of five different dis
tricts of the United States with their
| diverse needs.
AS for the future of the highways
transport committee, the work already
done by the voluntary organizations
has opened such vast field for re-
search in the economic life of the
country that it is believed this work
should be continued as branch under
the proposed road commission by sal
aried men who should be experts in this
field, and who would give all of their
time to close development of the
problems which the present committee
has thus far only had time to uncover.
In this field are classified the subjects
of utmost Importance to the future de-
velopment of the United States, as
follows:
A study of the relationship of trans
portation to the cost of living.
A study of the development of the
railroad lines through vast new bust
ness which would be brought to them
through the utilization of every high
way as "feeder.'

The removal of Mr.. Manning carried
with it the removal of Samuel d.
Crump as receivers attorney. Ten
days were given in which to make a
receivers final report. A stay of
thirty days, requested by Attorney
Crump for the filing of bill of ey-

Objections were entered by D. Edgar
Wilson, representing the Bankers
Trust company of New York, and Geo.
E. Trailes, representing the Equitable
Trust company, holders of the first

was irregular for the court to remove
a receiver without giving notice,
charges or reason or without allowing
the parties concerned to be heard.
Judge Mullins informed them that
he considered the matter disposed of
and had acted upon his own initiative.
Fred j. Chamberlain, well known in
Denver business circles, stated yester.
day that the appointment came as
surprise to him, but that he would ac.
cept and do all that lay in his power
to put the marble company back
