The friends of Senator penrose
stated that they realized that his

and that he backed down rather than
be defeated.
The Pennsylvania senator in a
formal statement, issued after the
finance committee opened hearings
on the measure, assured his republl.
can colleagues that he would join
them in pushing the legislation az
this session, but declared for modi-
flcation of the rates carried by the
bill as il passed the house. ;,
While the senate committee was
holding its initial hearings and while
senators were attempting to assess
the effect of Senator Penrose's state
ment, the house ways and means
committee heard more than twenty
witnesses on revision of the present
Underwood tariff act. The house com
mittee took up schedule A and the
Witnesses discussed from technical
standpoints questions Of higher inn

Some individual in Grady county
Il to have the opportunity OF acqur,
ing uadying fame as the king bee
booster Of the Chiekasha baseball
park and athletic field. according to
an announcement made at the Off
cial organization of the Hot Stove
league of Chickasha at the city hall
last night.1
This chance for fame is to come
about through the purchase at auc-
ton Of the first plank to be sold at
the launching OF the "Buy-a-plank"
campaign next Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock at the corner of Chick
asha avenue and Fourth street. The
feature that is to make said fame
undying is this: The purchaser o.
that first plank. which is to be
knocked down to the highest bidder
will have his name chisled into that
plank together with the statement
that he was the purchaser OF the
first plank for the new Chickaeha
baseball park and athletic field.
This plank, duly embellished and
adorned Is then to be used at the
gate Of the park, so that the thous-
ands of baseball and athletic fans
passing in and out of the park, dur
ing the years to come may be sure
and see the name of the purchaser
Of the first plank, may know in fact
that said individual was first ana
foremost to dig into his jeans and
produce the necessary coin of the
realm to start the movement.
Enthusiasm Runs High.
The meeting, held last night at
the city hall. was doubtless the best
baseball meeting ever held in the
city for the reason that there SEEM
ed apparent genuine enthusiasm
end lets do it, spirit with the
"why don't they do it" idea shuffled
entirely in tothe discard
The meeting proved to be a sur
prise to some, for the mere reason
that there were no donations asked
and no contributions accepted Sur
prise was expressed by some after
tie meeting that there was no ap
peal for funds made. 81 expected to
have to kick in again said one man
The purpose of the meeting laet
night, as it developed was to perfect
the organization and outline plans
for the raising Of funds to build the
park. 1t was with difficulty that
some contributions were prevented
Jack O'Leary was the first to ex
press an opinion in the terms 0
dollars He said '1ll buy $50 worth
Of planks right now Others offered
to buy their planks at the meeting,
but it was explained that the machin-
cry of the drive would not be in
