This is the u'timatum issued and
j signed by every member of the senate
committee on capital location Thurs-
day night after two hours' delibera
tlon, in which every phase of the
question of loegting the capital in Ok
lahoma City had ' ^en discussed.
in the light of recent events, tills ac-
tion of the committfe came as a com
plete surprise, literally sweeping oth
cr members of the senate and house
off t! : ir feet. The capital location
question is still further complicated
but the flickering (lame of hope did
die in the breasts of the sup
KMte.s of t^e original capital prog-
ram with the.issuance of the commit-
tee's statement.
Whether or not the senate will up
hold the action of the special capital
committee should it recommend in.
mediate adjournment is a ma<fer that
only a vote of the members of that
,io iy can determine. Should a mo-
tion to adjourn sine die pass the sen-
ate, it would be necessary for it to re-
ceive the concurrence of the lower
house in order to become effective.
From the attitude the house has as-
sumed up to the present time there is
a serious question as to whether that
organization would indorse such a
movement ou the part of the upper
body. The governor could irnnied-
iate'y call another special session,
should the legislature adjourn.

prising twenty representative citizens 1

The court in its recent opinion l.el«
that the ordinance would have been i -
pea led < i>\ { initiated bi'l. if it ha«
adopted, but did not pa#
•ti; ' i on tlie question of w • t ic
>uld be repealed by the leglalaturt
and, uccording to statements made from
ch today, there seemed to b«
some doubt on that matter in the minds
of the court Itself at the time the for-
irter opinion was handed down.
it was held at that time that no bind
.ng co tut* t could be made as to pro-
visions . f the enabling act in which
ongiess evteeded its authority and that
the **1 '13 i ■ la use" was therefore invalid.
Justie« Williants stated, however, that
the provision requiring the capital to be
located by vote of the people might be
regarded as a legitimate subject for such
a compact and that it was possible that
that ought to be sustained.
"I bcliey? that the irrevocable part
falls." he said, "but there is a provision
that says It shall not be changed except
by a vote of the people. The question
is: is that such a matter as they could
make an agreement about? Is that such
a contract as is not against the right of
sovereignity?'*
Justice Hayes took the opposite view,
holding that the submission to the peo-
ple was to be after 1913, and would not
necessarily affect action taken befor
that time.
"We'd have to read something into
it to make it apply before 1913," he said
C. G. Hornor made the principal argu-
ment for Guthrie. He denied the state-
ment made by Judge B. F. Burwell for
Oklahoma City that in the other hearir
tin? Guthrie attorneys had elected 1
stand solely on the ground that the ordi-
nance was a compact between the state
and the federal government and ni
legislative enactment. He ipslsted that

The news of Mrs. Eddy's deatli was
made known simultaneously by Judge
Clifford P. Smith, first reader of the
Mother Church, at the close of the
morning service, and by Alfred Far-
low of the Christian Science publica-
tion committee, in a statement to the
press. According to Mr. Farlow, Mrs.
Kddy passed away at 10:45 o'clock
last night.
She had been indisposed for about
nine days," Mr. Farlow's statement
says, "but had been up and dressed,
and as late as Thursday transacted
business with one of the officials of
the church. She took her daily af-
ternoon drive until two days before
her going. Saturday night she fell
quietly asleep and those around her
could at first hardly realize that she
was gone. Her thought was clear un-
til the last and she left no final mes-
delicate child, and according to her
own accounts of her childhood, wan
a very devout little girl. She re-
marked that, having read that Daniel
prayed seven times daily, Blie formed
the habit of doing so likewise, think-
ing the duty of all good Christians.
She joined the First Congregational
Church at Tilton at the age of 17.

that as a young woman she delighted

moral science, and dug deep into her

It was from this Tlton home that
she went forth the wife of Coonel
George Washington Glover of Charles-

ed most happily a year, until Ills sud-
den death of yellow fever in Charles-
ton. Four months later her only
child, a son, was born, and together
they returned to Tilton. Here Mrs.
Glover remained four years, when fi-
nancial difficulties arose in hei« fath-
er's affairs and the boy was placed in
the care of a former nurse in the nor-
thern part of the state. Not until this
boy had grown to man's estate and
was a father himself did he know
that his mother still lived.

portion of the message severely,
characterizes it as astonishingly child-
like and bland. "The President doesn't
seem to realize," said Mr. Hardy that
there is any way for transoceanic traf-
fic to be carried except by subsidy and
doesn't seem to realize that American
shipbuilders can't build ships for Amer-
ican 'trade unless under beneficent and
fostering care of the Government, lie
therefore blandly suggests that we build
up the merchant marine by a great mail
subsidy or by other subvention or sub-
sidy.
Ship Subsidy Idea not Favored.
"Although he mentions the fact he
does not seem to realize that this fact
shows that our shipbuilders can build
ships in Successful competition with all
the world. Had he realized this fact
doubtless his message, instead of rec-
ommending a subsidy for the benefit of
high-priced American vessels, he would
have recommended that American own-
ers be alowed to buy their ships where-
ever they could buy them cheapest and
still float the AAmerican flag and carry
both the American mail and American
products under the American flag in suc-
cessful competition with every flfig on
the ocean."
Unanimous Approval of Economy Idea
Tho portions of the message which
met with almost unanimous approval was
the discussion of the Government econ-
omics and the exposition of the method
pursued and the results already in view.
The message Is also commended for
the broad views taken on such subjects
as reform in criminal practice, working-
men's compensation; peace and arbi-
tration.
The President's position on conserva-
tion also meets with favor and in this
connection there is evidence of a wide
difference between the President and
Secretary Ballinger on the subject of
opening to the country the public coal
lands.
President Taft recommends to Congress
in his message, a plan for leasing coal
lands in the public domains.

Judge Frank Dale and Frank B. Bur-

that a constitutional ordinance, when
within the graht of authority to the
constitutional convention, took the same
status and dignity as the constitution
Itself, although not made a part of it.
In opposition to this view Judge B. F
Burwell of Oklahoma City and C. B
Stuart of McAlester insisted that then
could be but two kinds of laws con-
stitutional laws and statutory laws, and
that anything else would be ahybrid ant
unheard of. In this contention they
seemed to be sustained by several of th'
members of the court. They
that if the ordinance were a compact it
was void, and every tiling incident to it
would necessarily fall, and if a law it
would have the effect of a statute and
nothing more. They declared that there
was nothing to prevent the legislature
from locating the capital if it saw fit.
