TO BUILD A
Governor Ferguson- Will Endeavor
to Have a Home for Terri-
torial InEane.
A special dispatch from Washington
yesterday sajss
Governor Ferguson this morning
called on Secretary Hitchcock and re-
mained in consultation with him for
nearly an hour. The entire situation
in Oklahoma was gone over and the
secretary made a number of sugges-
tions in regard to its reforms which
should be instituted by the governor.
At the conclusion of the interview
Secretary Hitchcock accompanied the
governor to the White House and in-
troduced him to the president.
President Roosevelt made many in-
quiries in regard to Oklahoma affairs
He told Govecnor Ferguson that he
hoped his administration would be
free from any charges, and particular
|y from any that had any foundation.
Ferguson replied that he would en
deavor to make a record that would l>e
pleasing to the national administra-
tion.
While both Governor Ferguson and
Secretary Hitchcock are exceedingly
reticent tonight about what transpired
during the interview at the depart
ment and one at the White House, it
is learned that a decision was reached
to bring about the construction of a
sanitarium for Oklahoma by the terri
tory. Tonight Governor Ferguson
staled that this would be one of his
aims as governor, and that he would
make a fight to have it indorsed at the
next republican territorial convention
and that he hoped that every candidate
for legislative honors in the next slec
lion would be pledged by their con
stituents before receiving a nomina
tion to support such a bill.
Governor Ferguson will leave for
home tomorrow
TO EXCLUDE ANARCHISTS-
such punishments shall be deported
at the expense of the United States
to the country from which he came,
nod if he return to the United States
shall lie punished by imprisonment at
hard labor for a period not exceeding
five yenrs and afterward again de-
ported.
Provision is made fur the appoint-
ment of twelve immigration agents at
| a salary of $2,500 each to make inves-
tigations in foreipn countries con-
cerning intended immigrants. The
fact that an alien has declared his in-
tention to become a citizen of the
United States shall constitute no bar
to proceedings against him under
this act.
Senator Burrows Introduced
Treating the Subject.
Bill
ad
but
It Always Pays.
The following story from the Van-
guard published at Hitchcock, Blaine
county, illustrates the condition that
prevailed in many Oklahoma localities
in '95: ( •
The people of this vicinity are in
ifTerent circumstances from what
they were in 1895. The old-timers
doubtless remember the opening da;
anniversary at Cooper, April 19, 1895.
The country was bare and dry. A big
crowd was present at the gathering
because no one could do anything at
home It was too dry and the ground
was too hard. Many settlers discussed
the propriety of trying to leave the
country. There was one thing in the
way, only one thing—they could not
getaway. Nothing to go on. Many
could "neither go nor stay," as they
xpressed it. It looked squally. There
was not enough vegetation within five
miles of Cooper to feed a grasshopper,
especially if he were very hungry. It
was April 19th and no grass, no wheat
—simply nothing. Ground as hard as
rock. But the people stayed. They
braved it through. Today they are in
good circumstances all over this val-
ley. Farms that could scarcely be
given away in 1895 are worth from two
to five thousand dollars today. The
people won out by staying with it,
That always wins.
Washington, 1). C , Dec. 4.—Senator
Burrows today introduced a bill
provide for the exclusion and depor
tjtion of alien anarchists."
The first section of the bill
follows:
"That no alien anarchists shall
hereafter be permitted to land at any
port of the United States, or be
mitted into the United States,
this prohibition shall not be so con
strucd as to apply to political refu
gees or political olTenlers, other than
anarchists."
The second section directs special
boards of inquiry authorized by the
immigration laws to make diligent in-
vestigation concerning the antece-
dent* of any alien seeking admission
into the United States, who is sus-
pected of being an anarchist, author-
izing the board to even go to the ex-
tent of examining the person of sus-
pected aliens for marks indicative of
membership in anarchistic societies.
Section three provides for the re-
turn of aliens to their native coun-
tries who have secured admission to
the United StBtea contrary to law and
who have afterwards been found to
be anarchists.
The fourth section provides that
when any alien is convicted of crime
in any United States court and it shall
appear from the evidence that he is
an anarchist, the presiding judge
shall direct a further hearing, and it
the judge is satisfied that the convict-
ed alien is an anarchist, or that his
remaining in this country will be a
menace to the government, or society
in general, he may direct that in ad-
dition to other punishment adjudged,
the convi6ted alien after undergoing
Dr. Hedley'8 Lecture.
Dr. Jas. T. Hedley'-s lecture at the
opera house last night entirely fulfill-
ed the expectations of the large audi
ence—and it expected much. At 8:30
o'clock Dr. Hedley advanced to the
front of the stage, smiled, ope'd his
mouth and a How of words that
sparkled with wit and wisdom pro
ceeded from it without apparent effort
This thing was kept up for an hour and
half. Every sentence was a rhetorical
jewel and a climax of wisdom. The
sentences and thoughts came so quick-
ly and grandly that the audience gulp-
ed and re-gulped rapidly in a vain
effort to swallow and digest them all.
It could not be done; in spite of the
greatest effort some of them got aw ay,
and were gone forever. If the lecture
could be given in broken doses, lasting
about a week, what a rare treat it
would be'.
HE WILL BE UNHAMPERED.
Oklahoma Officiate Are Expected to
Present Resignation to Gov-
ernor Ferguson.
A special dispatch from Guthrie to
the Kansas City Journal says:
There is much speculation around
the executive building as to what Gov-
ernor Ferguson wilt do with the pres-
ent cabinet, heads ^departments, and
clerks. Private Se«retary Fred Wen-
ner, who has held tlie position for five
years, did not wait to see yvliatdisposi-
tion would be made in his case, but
went to Acting^Liovernor Grimes and
tendered his rqfeignation. He packed
his belonging* in the offices and took
them to his residenoe, and announced
that he would again engagQ in news-
paper work. When psked if he would
take the place if offered him by Gov-
ernor Ferguson, Mr, Wenner said that
while he would appreciate the compli
ment, be had firmly made up bis mind
to quit, and nothing could alter his
resolution.
The members of tie governor's cabi-
net have said enodgh to diszlose i
general intention to place their resig-
nations at the disposal of Governor
Ferguson as soon as be return* from
Washington. The main places at tha
disposal of the new governor are at-
torney general, J. C. Strang present
incumbent; treasurer, Cash Rambo
auditor and superintendent of public
instruction, L. G. Baxter; bank com
missioner, F. H. Thwing; adjutant
general, E. P. Burlingame;oil inspect
or, C. T. Prouty ; deputy auditor, E. P
McCabe; private secretary, vacant
There are lots of other positions to be
filled, such as the various educational
boards and examining boards of the
territory, but these are minor places,
the first named beingconsidere I along
the line of the confidential advisers of
tbe governor.
As the outgoing and incoming gov
ernors are botL Republicans, and as
tbe causes which led to Mr. Jenkins
removal do not in any manner attach
to any of the members of his adminis
tration, it is argued that removals will
be few, and that the only changes to
be made will be those of private secre
tary, with a possibility that the resig-
nations of the bank commissioner and
tbe superintendent of public inetruc
tion may be accepted. Governor Fer
guson is a man of rare common sense
and will be slow to outline any policy
that will have a tendency to cause dis
sentions in the ranks of his party,
is a thorough organizer and know
just how to keep the strength of his
party intact.
