ment Relating to hort and

By Ae <>ciau?<l Press.
Washington, June 14.—Tdie confer-
ence report on the administration
railroad bill was presented to the
senate at 1:30 o'clock today by
Chairman filklns of the senate com-
mittee on interstate commerce. It
was laid before the house late in
the day. but. under the rules, cannot
be acted upon by the house until dis-
posed of by the Benate. It repre-
sents one week's work by the con-
ferees of tihe senate and house in an
effort to harmonize the differences
in bills passed by the two branch-
es and the notice of four month's
continuous consideration in one or
the other.
At the request of several senators,
the report went over until tomorrow,
when an effort will be made to pro-
cure its adoption. Two democratic
conferees did not sign the report
and Senator Newlands gave notice
today that he would present the mi-
nority report.
Generally speaKinp. the finished
work of the conferees is declared to
he satisfactory to the senate, al-
though in a large part It follows the
lines of the house bill. A number
of amendments secured by "insur-
gent" republican senators were re-
tained by the conferees. So far as
,,as been indicated the only objec
lion which may be raised in the
senate to the adoption of the report
relates to the action of the confer-
ees in adopting the house provision
on the subject of long and short
hauls.

GOVERNOR ATTACKED A
. FEDERAL OFFICER
REPORTED I HAT COMPLAINT
HA8 BEEN MADE BECAU8E
OF ACTION.
Special to The Herald.
Guthrie, Okla., June 14.—It was
reported here today that complaint
had been made against Governor
Haskell by the federal officers on
the ground that he attacked Deputy
Marshal Jacobson in Oklahoma City
last night. Chris Madsen, in charge
ol' the marshal's office, denies the
report.
Maris eli declares that sen-ice was
secured upon the governor today in
the federal injunction case, on which
hearing has been set for Friday.
Details of the encounter of last
night between the governor and the
federal marshal show that Haskell
raved and swore a< Jacobson and
made threats. Haskell was posing
for a picture when the marshal en-
tered.

Chicago, June 14.—The expulsion
of two spectators from the trial of
Lee On eli Browne today gave em-
phasis to State's Attorney Way man's
declaration that he will take no
chances of undue influences reach-
ing the jury.
The men removed from Judge Mc-
Soirely's court were tiniest Krule-
wich, a west side politician, and
Henry Wagner. The latter owes his
embarrassment to having made an
audible expression of his belief in
the guilt of the defendant. Wayman
said he had not seen Krulewich do-
ing anything wrong, but during the
trial of "Skinny" Madden, a labor
leader, charged extortion, Krulewich
brought suspicion upon himself by
shaking hands with Madden in front
of the jury. During the cross exam
ination of Representative White, who
alleged that Brown was paid $1,000
to vote for Lorimer for United States
senator, W. S. Forrest, chief coun-
sel for tihe defendant, created a
stir by demanding that Detective
McGuire. who did much to assist
the state's investigation in the bri-
bery scandal to keep his eyes away
from the witness. Forrest intimated
that McGuire was signalling White
as to letters and answers to certain
questions. Judge McSurely ruled
that McGuire had a right to be
where he was the incident closed.
The defense, on cross examination,
began an attack on the character
of White, with the ultimate design.
it is said, of charging that the pres-
ent allegations grew out of an un-
successful blackmailing scheme of
White's.

By Associated Press.
New York, June 14.—Fred L.
Owens, a youthful aeronaut of Belle-
ville, N. J., gave Manhattan a new
thrill today by suddenly appearing
in a sausage shaped dirigible balloon
in the lower part of the city. He
had flown nine miles from Belle-
ville and crossed the Hudson without
a mishap, but upon reaching the city
hall district his troubles began.
Over zealous volunteers standing
on the roof of the court house seized
his drag rope, causing his craft to
veer and strike the building, twist-
ing the framework and putting the
propellor out of commission. The
wind caught the balloon and bore h
erratically over the East river where
It landed among a group of trees and
trolley wires. Firemen rescued
Owens uninjured.

When Jeffries climbs Into the ring
July 4th he will have so many ad-
visers and helpers in his corner that
many with the welfare of the white
man at heart think it will be a
miracle if there's no confusion. Cor-
bett intends to be bOBS when it
comes to telling Jeffries how to fight.
Sam Berger. who always has Jeff's
ear. will '-a put in hints and sug-
gestions. Joe Choynskl, a really first
class second, will handle the sponge,
towel and bottle. Roger Cornell will
massage Jeff's limbs between the
rounds. I 'rmer Bur: s and Frank
Gotch will be ready to suggest
wrestling tactic® If necessary, and
Walter Kelly will cheer the boiler-
maker with merry quips and jests.
If there is any room left in the
corner Jack Jeffries will hurl re-
marks at the big negro who once
knocked him out. and Jack Gleason,
one of the pror.. iers, will whisper
words of encouragement to the white
man. Bob Armstrong, the veteran
negro, who has been boxing with
Jeuries fo many weeks, ami has
doubtless' been of assistance, will not
be prominent if Corbett has his
way.
Corbet wants to be the -whole
vhln« in Jeff's corner. He thinks he
Is the only man able to direct Jeff's
plan of action. He regards Berger
and the others as so many amateurs
and will surely try to wave them
back. Corbett is not a cool-headed
second, and because of thait fact
Jeffries may ask him to take a back
seat. In that case it Is predicted
there will be a rumpus, and Jeff will
be the s'Uterer.
Johnson, on the other hand, will
not have a regiment of handlers.
The cool, calculating and experienced
Delaney will he in charge of his
corner, and what he says will be
law. Delaney may have Kaufman
and one or two others to help him,
but they will have nothing to say.
Delaney thinks he knows Jeffries
better than anybody, and will be
able to advise Johnson how to fight
him. If Jeffries had Delaney, and
Johnson's ring handler- were Corbett
& Co., there ..re plenty of ring ex-
perts who would predict a sure vic-
tory for the white man. But with
Delaney in the negro's corner there
seems to ! no reason to doubt
thait the latter will have the benefit
of export haidling and will not be
permited to lose his head or use poor

Spec-ail to The Herald.
Guthrie, Okla.. June 14.—The feel-
ing is general here tonight that Gov-
Haskell's supposed moving of the
state capital to Oklahoma City is
largely a bluff and that all state
officers, including the governor, will
be doing businee* a^ usual here be-
fore the close of the present week.
It was discovered today that char-
ters were being issued from the of-
fice of the secretarp of state and
it is believed that the great seal u?
the state is here.
Attorney General West is under-
blood tohave unofficially notified all
state officers that acts performed
here in their official capacity will
be legal pending tihe counting of the
ballot. Secretary Linn of the state
election board iB supposed to be at
Oklahoma City and several coun-
ties are holding back their returns
while waiting for instructions as to
where they are to send their returns.
Confident claims are made that the
returns must be officially counted
here.
Governor Haskell stated over the
phone today that he will not relocate
the capital in Guthrie, but that lie
will be here on Friday for the hear
ing in the federal court. All Yhe
principal officers are here with the
exception of Governor Haskell an i
Secretary of State Cro3s.
lAbor Commissioner Oharles L.
Daugherty, carrying a small hand
grip, was stopped ai the state house
entrance today and searched by a
policeman, which action is unfavorab-
ly received here. Following the in-
cident, a message was received by
Mayor Farquahrson from Governor
Haskell through Attorney General
West, in which the governor de-
manded that the mayor make a pub
lie apology to him for this act on
behalf of the city of Guthrie and
declared that unless such apology
was immediately forthemoing and
the guards were removed from about
the state house, he, the governor,
would take such further action as
he deemed within his authority. May*
or Farquahrson replied that if the
officer had exceeded his authority
in searching Daugherty, he would
apologize to Daugherty personally,
but that he felt that he owed the
governor no apology nor would he
make one.
The latest reports coming from Ok-
lahoma City, indicate the Oklahoma
City bill winner by about 2,000 ma-
jority.
The governor's office is still be-
ing kept open here.

Governor Haskell Declares Capital
Will All Be In Oklahoma
City Within a Week.
From the Los Angeles Examiner
Four round trips up and down the
steep and dusty trails of Mt. Wilson,
made in twenity-one hours and twen-
ty minutes, with only ten-minuto
rests between journeys, is the endur-
ance record set. by Henry H. Wheel-
er. 55 years old, of C00 North New
Hampshire Avenue, Ix>s Angeles. The
feat was performed in demonstration
of the mlue of the simple life and
a vegetarian diet.
The journey of over fifty-six miles
was made on a food supply consist-
ing of only one raw egg, a handful
of raisins and a pint of unfermented
grape juice. No tonics- or alcoholic
stimulants were employed, nor did
Mr. Wheeler take -a bath or a rub
down. The day was hot and part
of the tramp was made under the
hunting rays of midday sun. Vet
at the finish Mr. Wheeler was neith-
er lame or noticeably footsore. He
declared that had he not been de-
layed by heat and trouble with his
lamp he would have made five round
trips in twenty-four consecutive hours
without injury to himself.
Mr. Wheele.- is a devotee of the
simple life and for a quarter of a
century lie has absui-ined from flesh
foods. For h If a dozen years he
has eaten but two mealH daily, ad
hering to the "no breakfast" plan.
Mr. Wheeler's trl]>3 had their ver-
ils and their discomforts. The dust
on thj trails was two or three inches
deep ne lv all the way. He nearly
walked off a 100-foot precipice. B<
ing provided with a gas lamp, he
used un lf an hour in getting it
into operation. This lamp he called
on night trips even after moon rise,
because part of the trail was In deep
shadows, expo.=ing the walker *0 dan-
ger of a fall of a thousand feet or so
as the penalty of a misstep.
The day. Thursday, May 2<I, turned
out unexpectedly hot. Other climbers
weer unable to make one complete
tr p. The lier.t compelled Mr. Wheel,
er to slacken his pace. To this fact
he attributed his inability to com-
plete five trips and Ills stop at the
ei^l of his fourth round.

Guthrie, Okla.. June 14.—Attorney
General West, appearing for Govern-
or Haskell in the hearing on the in-
junction restraining the state offi-
cials from moving the capital from
Guthrie, hekl today before Judge
Huston, made a brilliant argument
on his demurrer to the Guthrie pe-
tition. Judge Frank Dale opposed
him.
In his argument, the attorney gen-
eral contends that the district court
has no jurisdiction over the govern-
or and that it is without authority
in the cause of action. He cited
strong precedents to show that enab-
ling acts are more temporary meas-
ures and not necessarily binding aft-
er statehood is accomplished.
Judge Huston reserved his decis-
ion.
The attendance at the afternoon
session resembled a fashionable gath-
ring, over half the audience being
women and the remainder largely
professional men. This was the first
legal battle following the so-called
election.

Oklahoma City, June 11.—Quarters
for all state officers and boards
ihave been secured In Oklahoma City
and will be occupied as soon as the
reords, books and fixture* of the
offices in Gutnrie can be moved here
Governor Haskell and his attorney.;
are confident that neither the state
nor federal injunction will hold and
the records will be moved within a
week. In the meantime temporary
blanks, books and stationary are be-
ing used. Without exception, so far
as can be ascertained, state offi-
cers. since the governor's Informal
proclamation declaring this the per-
manent state capitol, recognize this
as the capital and business trans-
acted In Guthrie bears Oklahoma City
dates.
The action of Guthrie officers in
attaining and searching Labor Com-
missioner Charles Ihvuglierty created
little condemnation among the
state officers here and the mayor
of Guthrie has been called upon for
an apology. Adjutant General Can-
ton of the Oklahoma National Guard,
conferred with Governor Haskell to-
day. He declared if any records
are needed, it was but a matter of
a word for tue guard to get them.
The capital commission, to con-
sist of three members, two demo-
crats and one republican, will prob-
baly be selected by Haskell tomor-
row. It is reported on good authority
Tate Brady of Tulsa, democratic

commission is cnarged with platting

Mourning Worn by Royal Children.
(From the New York Evening Sun.)
Mourning fashions are the absorb-
ing topic across the water, and for the
benefit of mothers who often feel
doubt as to what to do with small
girls when the rest ot the family is
put into black It will be interesting
to know that Princess Mary, daughter
of the new king, wore a gray coat, im-
mediately after the death of her royal
grandfather. So British children, at
the least, will not be doomed to sable
outside garments. Straw colored hats
with white scarf trimming them and
black hair ribbons are suggested by
an English correspondent for children
In deep mourning. The English put
a narrow band of black around the
arm of the child. American mourn-
ing fashions are becoming more and
more lax and It has long been felt
permissible to follow one's own feel-
ings In the matter.

more acute at, Guthrie today with
the return of practically all the at ate
officials save HaHkell and Secretary

neol ion with fighting the demurrer
to the injunction suit in tihe dlutrlot
court. Attorney General Weal ap-
peared for the governor while Judge
Dale. Judge Burford and C. C. Hor-
ner represented Guthrie. Judge Hub-
ton took the matter under advise-
ment and will probably render hi*
decision tomorrow. In the case the
demurrer he overruled the attorney
general states he will at once appeal
to the supreme court.
In his argumewt this afternoon.
Horner asserted: "Thai any official
In high position whose duty Is to
construe and enforce the laws of his
s-iate. and who disregards and tramp-
les the statutes under foot Is him-
scif no better than an outlaw." rt
was a full minute before the court
could ttop he applause. Horner
scathingly arraigned the governor for
his removal of the scat of the state
ind his attempt, to establish the cap
it al at Oklahoma City before the
result of the election was known.
That Oklahoma has dual capital is
no longer in doubt. Haskell and
