CAPITAL
MUDDLE
SERIOUS
House Balks on the
Senate Resolution to
Adjourn
Special by United Tress.
Oklahoma City Dec. 13. Speaker
Anthony this morning 'said that the
house would refuse to accept the
resolution to adjourn as requested by
the senate.
Representative 'J. Itoy Williams of
Iawton democratic caueu.i leader said
If the senate persisted in lis attitude
the special session would "ontinuc till
the night before the regular session
opens in January. Williams declared
however that the capital locution tpie.i.
tion was nearer settlement than ever
because the necessity for the two
houses getting together had been made
clear.
The senate resolution passed jester-
day and (ailing for adjournment of the
special session will be presented In the
house this afternoon and It is believed
that It will be defeat d by an over--whelming
majority.
It Is claimed that tioveinor Haskell
Is trying to whip the senate Into line
still holding to the Putnam site but
the senators are as determined as ever
in their opposition to this site.
The senate adopted a resoiutlJn ap-
proving the site at or near Twenty-
second street and Lincoln boulevard
for the location of the capitol. The
house promptly tabled the resolution.
The senate then moved to adjourn sine
die after disapproving the Putnam
sit
These are some of the things that
transpired Wednesday afternoon to
further muddle the situation already
complicated and which Indicates that
the legislature Is hopelesly deadlocked
over the question of where the seat of
government of the tatc of Oklahoma
shall be. Should the senate and the
house refuse to recede from their re-
spective ixudtlons It does not require
a prophet to predict that the le.gisla-
turs will adjourn without settling the
question tor whlili the governor called
the special se.-skm.
The open disapproval of the Putnam
file and the approval of the site at or
near Twenty-si i urd stret and Lin-
coln boulevard by the senate defines lis
position clearly. The passage of a bill
more than one week ago practically en-
dorsing the Pu'nant site and the tabl-
ing of the resolution accepting the
site at Twenty-second street and Lin-
coln boulevard by the house shows
that the two brandies of the legisla
ture are at cross purposes. Cnles
some peaecn"-. '...!- can bring the two
houses together at tin? special term
of the legislature Oklahoma City's
chanced of ever seeming the perma-
nent capital appears to be trembling
In the balance.
With a roar of disapproval the house
Thursday afternoon voted to lay upon
the table the resolution passed by the
senate fifteen minutes before approv-
ing the site near T 'euty-second street
and Lincoln boulevard for the location
of the caplt-.il of the Mate of Oklahoma.
When Speaker Anthony announced
that the resolution had been tabled the
bouse broke into a storm of applause
which lasted for nearly a minute.
Now Up to House.
Immediately a message was sent to
the s'-uate convoying I he information
that the house had placed the resolu-
This
and Your Success
Many men have started in business with a capital only of
ability hard work honesty and a good reputation. It is
no uncommon thing for men thus handicapped to win out
and make a success in their undertakings. Ycu probably
know of several such instances.
An important factor to their success in almost every
instance you will find was their bank account. Their
bank deposits mav not have been large but their" connec-
tion with tho bank coupled with their energy honesty
and character was the basis of the credit they were able
to establish and through credit success was possible.
If you are starting out for yourself without capital by
all means have a bank account with this bank. It will be
a help to you in many ways

TURF EXCHANGES
ARE ILLEGAL
Guthrie Okln. Dec. 13. By decid-
ing yesterday that operating a "turf
exchange" is violation of tho Okla-
homa gambling laws the criminal
court of appeals put out of busiuess
about twenty-five establishments of the
sort which are doing business in vari-
ous Oklahoma cities. .Muskogee is said
to have the largest number of them.
The case in which this decision was
handed down is one from El Reno
w here E. P. James Ollie James and C.
S. Hils wick proprietors of a turf ex-
change were convicted of violating th-3
gambling laws sentenced to thirty
days in jail each and from $100 to $300
fine. Their conviction is now affir.
in an opinion by Presiding Judge Fur-
man w ho as usual argues for a 'i' :ral
Interpretation of the laws so that iO
get at the intent of the legislature.
The opinion holds that be' ting oi. a
horse race Is gaming within the miail-
ing of the law and that if any person
opens or conducts a house room or
place where the public are invited -o
assemble and by means of any device
plan or scheme bet or lay wttg rs upon
'be results Of horse racing such per-
sons are guilty of violating the gambl-
ing law of Oklahoma.
"The word 'gaming' has no teelu.t-
t al meaning" says Judge Furman "but
Includes every contrivance or institu-
tion which has for its object any sport
recreation or amusement for the pub-
lic upon which money or any other ar-
ticle of value can be won or lost by
the result of such contrivance or in-
stitution. Gaming includes bets or
wagers made upon any physical con-
test whether of man or beast when
practiced for the purpose of deciding
such bets or wagers."
The court holds that there Is no law
against betting on horse races but that
there Is n law against conducting; a
place where such betting Is carried on.
