CITY COUNCIL SAYS SUNDAY'S
A GOOD DAY TO PLAY BALL
BUT NOT GOOD TO PLAY POOL
FINE DISTINCTION MADE
CITY FATHERS PASS A BEGGAR
ORDINANCE,
Pond Ordered Drained Today and
the Water Company Paid in
Advance.
The pond to the rear of the Tulsa
Ice & Cold Storage company must be
drained today. This ultimatum went
forth from the council meeting last
night after a discussion along the
lines of the previous meeting. A tel
egram from Mr. Hall, of the Ice com
pany, asking for a week's more use
of the water, ami promising to pour
oil on the surface of the pond, was
read, and immediately brought on a
lengthy argument. Randolph' and the
Mayor talked on the advisability of
not being too hard on the company,
and llawley and Rumley characteriz
ed the telegram as a ruse to gain tuiw,
and, in the end, the pond, llawley
said it was a question of the people
against a corporation, and as they
were there to serve the interests of
the public he moved that the pond be
drained the first thing in the morning.
Rumley and Yeager supported Mr.
llawley, and the question went to a
vote which resulted in five yeas and
two nays, Mathewson absent. Ran
dolph and Belt voted against the mo
tion. '
. An Ordinance regulating places of
amusement and occupations on the
Sabbath was read, placed on its first,
second and third reading, and became
a law.
This Sunday ordinance does not
prohibit base ball playing, but does
close all billiard and pool games, all
retail stores and prohibits the play
ing of mechanical musical instruments
in any public place or place of busi
ness. The argument and passage of
the ordinance occupied an hour and a
half, and all present toc.k a hand in it.
llawley opposed it resolutely on the
ground that it was not comprehensive
enough, ho arguing that if pool rooms
should be closed, so also should base
ball games. The mayor took the stand
that they did not come unler the
same head, that a great many people
take delight in base ball, that it was
the national game, that it brought ex
cursions to the city and money into
the channels of trade, that the people
excurt out of instead into the city if
the games were stopped ; it was pro
fitable and we made money out of it.
On the other hand, it was not a good
idea to see billiard halls and pool
rooms full of people on Sunday; it
was making money for the owners of
the places and they were run all thru
the week for the same purpose. It
won't do to put the lid on too tight,
the cities that are thriving besl are
the citieR where the lid is off; those
where the lid is on are dead ones.
When he did what he conscientiously
believed to be right, ho did not care
for public opinion.
The finance committee reported on
the bill filed by the Water Works Co.
Randolph stood pat on not paying in
advance it was giving the company
$1,000 every year which the city could
be using and drawing interest on. A
motion to this effect was lost.
Hatch slated that the money was
lying in the treasury and intended for
the company. It was doing no good
to anybody and he was in favor of
paying it to the company as they al
ways had done.
City Attorney, on being called, stat
ed that the contract with the city did
not specifically state the money should
be paid in advance. In the case of
private parties it did so state.
Randolph said the people expected
the council to economize, and did not
want further concessions made to the
Water company unless the quality of
the water was improved. This was
the first opportunity given them to
refuse a concession and be thought
they should refuse.
Rumley called attention to the fact
that the question of quality did not

EASI AND WEST
THE D. 0. K. K. SURE OF TRE

TWO PARADES TOMORROW
Fire Chief Hale of Kansas City Will
- Be Here and Extinguish a
Fire.
From all over the Territory and
Oklahoma letters are coming announc
ing that tyros and knights are getting
ready to be in Tulsa tomorrow, the
former to travel over the scorching
sands, and the latter to take part in
the banquet and in everything else
they arep rivileged to share.
A Pullman palace sleeper is coming
from Kansas City and will have on
board a number of prominent lawyers
and business men, distinguished in the
order, and well qualified to put on the
team work. They will be here in the
morning at four o'clock and will be
met at the depot by a large reception
committee.
Fire Chief Halo, of the big city by
the Kaw, is coming with the parly,

over the Tulsa fire team and that
some no account shack shall be set
on fire, and this high muekamuck dis
tinguish himself by extinguishing it.
The parade in the afternoon will be
a hummer. The people of Tulsa will
be allowed to gaze on some of the
handsomest and strangest uniforms
they ever saw. They will hear the
low, sweet, syren music evolved from
the peculiar eastern instruments.
Their eyes will be feasted on a rich
ness of Orientalism they never dream
ed of, and will enjoy all exceedingly.
Barnttm's circus parade won't be in
it with this D. O. K. K. one.
The night parade will be gorgeous
in the extreme. Hundreds of dollars
have already been spent in the effort
to make it the greatest thing ever
seen in the Indian Territory. The
sacred camel will be in it, also the
well tried goat, strange animal.? ac
companied by strange noises, and the
whole illuminated with red fire, fire
works and blank cartridge shooting
that will keep sleep from all eye lids
tomorrow night.
The D. 0. K. K. does nothing by
halves. Nobody should miss see-tag
this greatest, grandest, richest and
most comical and generally delightful
parade ever given in the great Soutb-est.

On behalf of the American people
I wish to thank our ancient ally, the
great French nation, that proud and
gallant nation, to whose help we once
owed it that John Paul Jones was
able to win for the Stars and Stripes
the victory that has given hib
deathless fame, and to whose courtesy
we now owe it that the body of the
long dead hero has been sent hither,
and that to commemorate the recep
tion of the illustrious dead a squad
ron of French warships has come to
our shores.
The annals of the French navy are
filled with the names of brave and
able seamen, each of whom counted
death as a mistress when the honor

of his flag was at stake; and among
the figures of these brave men there
loom the larger shapes of those who,
like Tourvillo, Duqiicsnc, and the Bail
li de SutTren, won renown as fleet ad
mirals inferior to none of any navy
of (heir day in martial prowess.
In addition to welcoming the diplo
matic and official representative of
France here present, let me also ex
press my heartiest acknowledgements
of our former ambassador in Paris,
(leneral Horace Porter, to whoso zeal
ous devotion we particularly owe it
that the bodj- of John Paul Jones has
been brought to our shores.
When the body was thus brought
over the representatives of many dif
ferent cities wrote to me, each asking
that it should find its last resting
place in his city. But I feel that the
place of all others in which the mem
ory of the dead hero will most surely
be a living force is here in Anna
polis, where year by year we turn out
the midshipmen who are to officer in
the future our navy, ahiong whose
founders the dead man stands first.

NOW CASEY'S
AT THE BAT
PLAY BALL!
PRESIDENT OF CONCESSION CO.
OBTAINS FRANCHISE.
ARE PENNANT WINNERS
Oilers Start Anew with Redoubled En-
ergy a Micmagn Will Direct
Their Course This Summer.
! C. M. Casey, president of the Casey
Concession company, has secured the
rights, titles and privileges of the
Tulsa base ball franchise, and will be
the moving spirit of the base ball de
velopments in this city for the season
of P.IOO. Yesterday former manager
C. E. Shafft, having become dissatis
fied with some features of the under
taking, and having been offered a
large salary to play ball with Topeka,
Kansas, threw aside the cares of office
and once more became a private citi
zen. The base ball prospect looked
rather squally for a few hours, but
when a number of enthusiasts saw
that there was an imminency of the
team being disbanded a busy period
set in at once. Arrangements were
soon made to continue the franchise,
and keej) the team.
. Mr. Casey has secured the services
of F. II. Smith of Michigan, to man
age the Oilers. Smith is said to be
wise on all points of the game from
a managerial viewpoint, and the pen
nant will no doubt be dragged off by
the Chicago of the Southwest. In or
der to give the baseball treasury a
good showing against the possibility
of "rainy days" in the future, it has
been planned to sell 1,000 tickets for
.f 1.00 each for the opening game,
which will take place on May 9. Ev
eryone who has the interest of Tulas
at heart should attend this game, and
assist in putting Ihe team on its feet
at the very first. The baseball tetam
will be a great card for Tulsa this
year and it should be encouraged.
There will be excursions into the city
on every road every Sunday this sum-

BADLY BURNED IN FIRE.
Clothes Cleaner the Worst Sufferer in
Yesterday's Blaze.
The fire which broke out yesterday
afternoon in the frame shack next to
the Turner building on Main street
was caused by an explosion of gaso
line in a shop in the building occupied
by Mr. Munuhnn, as a clothes cleaning
und pressing establishment.
Manahan hud just received ten gal
Ions of gasoline and was using some
of it near a light when the front door
blew open, and immediately there was
an explosion and a blaze. While try
ing to save garments which belonged
to his customers he was very badly
burned about the head, arms, face,
hands and neck, and had a narrow es
cape with his life.
Manahan lost everything he had
he claims his loss is $700. It would
not worry him was it not that the
garments in the place were not his.
He is going to start again as soon as
he can secure a location, and stated
to a World man this morning that as
soon as he got able be would pay back
the value of everything destroyed in
the fire. He deserves the support of
our own people as much as the suffer
ers from fire in San Francisco deserve
support, and if given it freely he is
a good workman will soon be out
of all debt and obligation as he was
previous to the accident.
