MANY SUBJECTS
TALKED OVER
AT COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
LAST NIGHT.
THE LADIES AS MEMBERS
Roads, Conccrt.Mcmbership and Many
Others Threshed Out by Those
Present. ""
It is as difficult to get the members
of the Commercial Club to attend the
meetings us it is to get them to
attend Wednesday night prayer meet
ings. The meeting last night, in point of
attendance, was no exception to the
rule which has prevailed for the past
three Or four months. It was 8:,'!0
before it was called to order, and 'J:!!0
before the thirtieth man dropped in.
Before the meeting opened, President
Haglcr remarked that it might bo a
good thing to blow a cow's horn or
some 'other kind of musical instru
ment to summon the members who
were lounging about the streets with
in earshot.
When the meeting was called to or
der, Secretary Dockery read the min
utes, after which M. B. Haird report
ed that tho committee on the boiler
and repair shop proposition had de
cided to accept it, but on account of
tho election and his being out of town
nothing more had been done; that on
tomorrow (today) they would take the
matter up and collect tho money, $1,
000, needed.
The chair called up tho proposition
ul ui. nii jii, mo iuuuvi ui mo VOin-
mcrcial Club band, that the band
would givo a concert in tho Grand op
era house, one half of tho proceeds
to be given the band for new music
and uniforms, the other half to go to
tho Club.
On motion tho chair appointed W.
F. Tucker, Joe Westcrhcydo and Mark
13. Carr a committco to sell tickets
for tho concert.
. Tho admission of ladies as members
of tho club was next considered.
L. J. Martin had no objection to
ladies becoming honorary members,
but he was opposed to their being full
fledged members, as they would not
do a great deal of good they would
not stay with it. Tho fees were too
high for them to pay. If twenty or
twenty-five would come in and pay the
full fee it might be all right, as they
would soon quit, and no harm would
be done.
Secretary Dockery said that one
woman had applied for membership,
and had said sho was as much inter
ested in Tulsa as any of the men.
Sho also said that she knew four oth
ers who wanted to join, but they all
wanted to come in on tho same foot
ing as the men, and pay tho same
fees. He thought it would be a good
thing to have them, as in matters of
beautifying the city and on Borne com
mittees they wcro better than men.
rcttu8 said that women were not
business people as a rule, and would
do no good so far as deliberations and
money were concerned. The members
could not smoke if the ladies became
members, and they had their own
clubs anyhow. He did not approve of
letting them in.
Dr. J. F. Ayars disagreed with Mar
tin and Pettus. He thought the pres
ence of ladies would lend a tone to the
proceedings, and that they would be
a great help. He said that the fact
ladies were members would get a bet
ter attendance of men.
The chair thought tho matter im
portant enough to lay before a larger
'meeting; that they should all think
it out; it might be for the best, or it
might be for the worst, so be laid the
discussion over until another meeting.
The question of advertising was
then taken up, and it was finally ag
reed to subscribe $100 for Sturm's
Magazine, which in its next issue will
contain a story of Tulsa, and in sub
sequent issues a page in each devoted
to Tulsa.
M. B. Baird brought up the matter
of roads, and referred to a letter from
' Manuel Hireh about the road north
from Tulsa. He said we must have
the north and south roads fixed, as

SIDEWALKS BEING M.
Two Badly Noedcd Improvements L
der Way.
At last the weather lias permitted
the contractor to put in the side walk
around the First National Bank build
ing, and today good progress is being
made with as nice a piece of cement
paving as there is in the cily. If
the weather holds fair a few days this
much needed improvement will be
ready for the public.
On- the north side Mr. Marchal and
a few others have gone down in their
pockets and are preparing to improve
the wooden side walk or bridge on this
each side of Main street and south of
the Marchal house, or in front of the
Kineaid property, where (he gentle
man of that name once designed an
opera house.
These two places needed improve
ment more than anywhere else, in th'
central part of town, and it is plead
ing to report something at last being
done.
Other improvements of a like na
ture are going on all over town, and
if the good work is continued, citizens
will soon be able to move about with
out plunging up to their necks in
mud.
BARRETT'S DEATH A MYSTERY.
No Clue to Slayers Suicide Theory
Dispolled.
Eufaula, I. T., April 5 The death
of Joshua Burnett, president of (he
Eufaula National hank, still remains
a mystery. Blood hounds have devel
oped no clue. A deputy marshal from
Muskogee looked into the suicide the
ory closely. Against it is the fact
that Barnett was shot in tho back of
tho head, and there were no powder
marks and no weapon has been found.
RACE QUESTION REVIVED.
Baptist Convention Postponed on Ac
count of Negro Delegates.
Louisville, April 5. The Baptists'
convention scheduled for May has
been postponed until next year. The
chief cause is believed to be the hope
lessness of trying to solve the negro
problem. Local Baptists object to re
ceiving negroes among the delegates.

his aunt, Mrs. It. B. Evans, Sixth and

morrow for burial. The young man's
death was quite sudden. His parents
are both dead. Mowbray & Winter
ringer have charge of the burial ser
vice. WELL WORTH HEARING
COMMERCIAL BAND CONCERT.
Something Every Citizen Should Buy
a Ticket Tor.
The conceit to be given at tho
Grand by the Commercial Club band
is announced for Friday, 13th of Ap
ril, next. Every man and woman in
Tulsa should buy a picket for it if
they can spare the money.
The concert will be an excellent
one in point of merit, and will include
not only band music but also vocal and
instrumental solos, and one or two re
citations by famous readers. Half the
proceeds will go to the band where
with to buy new music and uniforms,
and the other half will go to the Com
mercial club to help pay a portion of
the guaranteed $-4,000 due yet on the
building by that body.
The prices of tickets have been
mado low in order that all may have
an opportunity to enjoy the concert.
They are 75c, 50c, 35c and 25e.
The lower floor contains 405 scats,
each of which will cost 50c.
' There are 40 lower box seats, and
they will cost 75c each.
There are 50 box seats up stairs,
and they will be sold at 50c each.
The balcony holds 278 at 35c each.
The gallery by crowding will hold
350, at 25c each.
Every one of these seats should be
occupied, and if it is the band will
clear $225 and the club a like amount.
A committee of the Club is selling
tickets. If they call on you buy one
if they don't call on you, buy one
anyhow.
Be patriotic for Tulsa, and we will
have the best uniformed band in the
Territory.

ests which could influence him in the
matte)', his desire being to serve the
public, lie was heartily in accord
with the piesidenl, but that the Hop
burn bill as drawn was deficient and
unconstitutional. He said he believed
in rate legislation, by the commerce
commission; that he believed that tho
commission should have tho power to
fix rates; that he believed in tho re
view of rates by the United States
courts; in the suspension of commis
sions of orders by them, provided that
money on deposit be mado by a com
mon carrier while tho matter was in
court. Begarding his personal posi
tion, he said: "I stand first for the
interests of the people of West Vir
ginia; .lfler that for tho interests cf
tho people of tho United States. The
charge that I favor the railroads is
so often repeated that I will say in
truth that my interests on tho side of
the shiper is ten times gretatcr than
on the side of tho railroads; that
my interests in tho railroads is con
fined to those of my own state."

Editor World:

THE COMING FACTORY
WELL BE A WINNER FOR TULSA.
Home Men of Experience and Ability
at Its Head.
The committee having in charge the
proposition submitted by L. K. Cone
and .1. M. Walsh for the location of
a boiler and sheet metal manufactur
ing plant, reported that the proposi
tion had been accepted and stated
they would solicit the necessary bonus
at once, and endeavor to close the
matter up without delay.
These people arc ready to begin op
erations as soon as the Commercial
Club signs a contract with them.
The institution is one thnt will cer
tainly grow to large proportions. Mr
Walsh is a practical boiler maker and
sheet metal worker of wide experi
ence, and Mr. Cone is too well known
in Tulsa us a business man to require
special mention.
The firm has connections with ti e
largest structural steel and builder'
iron 'supply house in America, and
they will handle thin line and bo in
a position to sell in Tulsa and sur
rounding towns at a figure that will
insure them a large business from the
start.
The proposition they have submit
ted is a good one for Tulsa, and tho
World is anxious to see the matter
closed up without delay, and opera
tions begun on the plant.
It is the history of all factoty towns
and large manufacturing plants that
they begin at the bottom and buiid up,
and we believe this firm is laying a
foundation upon which to build a
business of which Tulsa will one day
be proud.
IHE FAULT
IS THEIRS
PARTIES LEAVING BOXES OPEN
ARE LIABLE TO ROBBERY.
NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME
One Hundred and Fifty-Six Left Op
en Yesterday Out of Two Hundred
Watched by Inspector.
The robberies which have been go
ing on in the post, office and which
were told about in yesterday's issue
of the World are caused by the lazi
ness or indilference ot the losers (hem
selves. This was satisfactorily prov
ed by the postal inspector who wad
here yesterday, ad who, in conjunc
tion with Postmaster Seaman, arrang
ed a method of discovering how many
left their boxes open.
It will bo a revelation to World
readers that out of 200 private boxen
lot! were left open by the owners
thereof, this on yesterday alone. Ono
hundred and fifty boxes left unlocked
for anyono with a dishonest turn of
mind to quietly pilfer from and take
all that was therein. Willi such peo
ple there is no sympathy, and for
such there should be no redress, and
probably will not be, no matter how
much they may have lost.
The United States government has
gone to great expense in fitting up the
Tusla postollice and in making every
thing convenient and safo for its pat
rons. Several thousand dollars have
been spent in fixtures nlone, and if
the public cannot do the little re
quired of it in protecting itself and
its mail, there is no one else on whom
it can shoulder the blame.
If too lazy or careless to shut their
boxes after taking their mail out, all
such owners will please remember, if
they lose anything in consequence, not
to blame tho local officials, but to
place tho blatno where it belongs.
A JUDGMENT AGAINST ROSE.

ent because be resigned his office, Hut
chins, attorney for Rose, asked that
judgment he entered against him im
mediately, which was done. Attorney
General Coleman was greatly surpris
ed at the ouster suit. He stated it
was against Hose for a failure to en
force the prohibition law.
TULSA TRADES COUNCIL.
