CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
A WMkly Rtvww of Km Wtrk «Mm#NsM by Um

Guthrie, O. T., Feb. 8
vention In committer of
today killed the report of the pub-
lic priming committee whioh pre*
vldea that the legislature shall es-
tablish a State printing plant to be
•owned and operated by the a fate.
There is a movement to reconsid-
er the action of today. Many of the
platforms upon which delegates
were elected declared for this pro-
vision In the constitution. The
joint legislative board of the Farm-
ers' Union, Federation of Labor and
railway organizations of both terri-
tories contained this demand upon
< % t'la convention "for compulsory edu-
cation and free school books printed
hy the state." Thg Democratic cen-
tral committee also recommended
«uch a provision. The Democratic
territorial committees, In Joint ses-
sion at Shawnee, refused to take
such demand, according to a state-
ment on the floor todajy.
The delegates who succeeded In
'tilling the stfite printing plant pro-
vision excused their action by de-
claring that the bill of rights au-
thorizes the state to engage in any
business. It was pointed out that
the report of the committee con-
tained a joker that would allow the
legislature to defer action Indefinite-
ly. This was used as an argument
lor killing the report.
Among the delegates who opposed
'lie establishment of the printing
Plant by tile constitution were Mitch
of Oklahoma Cirv j ,,f jj.iw.
liuska. Hayes of Chickasha, and
President Murray. The linal vote
to kill the stale printing plant sec-
tion stood .1G for, 30 against, show-
ing that only half the delegates
voted. .Some sat in their seats and ! worklnB
did not vote while a few others con- ° ,°.f .
veniently dodged by being absent.
Among the champions of the
proposition were WcCance, Ellis and
Deerlng.
The latter declared:
1^ do know that the American
Hook Company has its agents ill Ok-
lahoma who would have you dereat
this report if possible."
McCance assorted that on this
proposition the convention stood
face to face with what is considered
one of the greatest trusts in the
•country.
kills said that the territorial leg-
islature was met with arguments in
circular letters sent out by the
American Hook Company, the same
as those urged against the state
printing plant on the .floor of the
convention, and that a similar propo-
sition was defeated there after a
long battle.
The provision making the legal
rate of interest C per cent and maxi-
mum contract rato 10 per cent, pass-
ed. The legislature may decrease
the rate. A state bank commission-
er serving four years' appointed by
the governor was provided for. Sec-
tion 3. relating to penalties for
usurious interest was referred back
to the committee for revision. An
amendment to require state bnnks
to create a fund to insure safety of
depositors was tabled.
The convention reconsidered ac-
tion on the follow servant provision
and relieved the employer of liabil-
ity in case of acts of negligence oc-
■cui i ing on work under a contractor.

-The con-1 duties of county clerk, and county
the whole 1 judge performing the duties of an
ordinary probate judge, with in-
creased jurisdiction. Officers and
commissioners may also be elected
in unorganized counties. Owing to
the storm of disapproval of yester-
day's action In tabling the state
printing plant proposition, tho mat-
ter was reconsidered and a section
adopted authorizing the legislature
to CBtabllsJi a state printing plant.
This section Is meaningless as un-
der the hill of rights the legislature
would have this power if no such
section were incorporated.
A provision making the clerk of
the supreme court elective, and
delegating the matter of selecting a
supreme court reporter to the legis-
lature was adopted.
Guthrie, O. T„ Feb. 9—A blanket
primary system by which all candi-
dates for state offices and the
1 'tilted States senator will bo nomi-
nated, is to be reported to the con-
vention. Tho primary committee
has asked the judiciary committeo
for an opinion as to legality of a
primary for the first state election
'Hid creating by convention of a can-
vassing board. Those questions will
be threshed out on the floor.
An attempt to create twenty dis-
tiict attorneys' offices to prosecute
■cases in the district courts of Okla-
homa failed. The section making
such provision was stricken out, and
prosecution of cases in both dis-
trict and county courts will be left
to county attorneys.
A section empowering the legis-
lature to select two towns in addi-
tion to the county seat in which to
hold court or to delegate that power
to the county commissioners was
adopted. This carries out the trav-
eling court idea used in Indian Ter-
ritory.
A proposition by Maxey if adopt-
ed. will prohibit state, county or
municipal officers purchasing Rta-
tunary or printing supplies for offi-
cial purposes outside of the state,
and abrogating any contract made
outside. Just before the noon re-
cess a resolution was adopted ex-
pressing sympathy with the efforts
of Kansas and Missouri legislatures
to regulate charges at the Kansas
* Ity stock yards, and reciting that
as the territories ship many cattie
to Kansas City they are vitally in-
terested.
A report from the committee on
county and township organization
was submitted, providing for th>
usual county officers with the addi-
tion Of a county auditor performing
Guthrie, O, T., Feb, 11.—a consti-
tutional provision for the safety of
miners and prescribing the class of
labor to be employed and hours of
work will be adopted in committee
of the whole today. The elective
office of chief Inspector of mines
oil and gas was created. He Is to
serve four years and to have eight
years actual experience as a practi
cal miner, and possess other qualili
cations and perform such other du-
ties as may be prescribed by til
legislature.
It Is made mandatory upon the
legislature to create mining dis
tricts and provide for the election
or appointment of an assistant min
inspector in each district under con
trol of the chief mine Inspector.
Roys under the age of 10 and wo-
men and girls are prohibited from
working underground in the opera-
mines, and eight hours shall
constitute a day's work under-
ground, except In emergency cases.
Rose, of Blackwell, objected
the creation of assistant mine in-
spectors, declaring that when
survey is taken of the constitution
It is likely to be found that the
are not enough people in the state
to fill the great horde of offices if
the present pace Is kept up.
After a prolonged debate, the sal-
aries of judges of the supreme and
district courts were fixed, supreme
judares to receive $4,000 a year and
district judges $3,000. This was
compromise between those who fa-
vored high salaries on grounds that
good men could not be obtained for"
small salaries, and those who want
ed low salaries for judges.
The insurance committee reported
a proposed provision establishing
insurance department, under a com-
missioner appointed by the govern-
or, serving four years. All com-
panies must comply with laws gov-
erning licenses and pay a fee of l
per cent on the net premium
Ctjipts.
by the convention
"And after organization shall de-
clare on behalf of the people of said
proposed stato that they adopt the
constitution of the United States
whereupon th< said convention shall
and is hereby authorized to form a
constitution and state government
for the proposed said state."
Tiie judiciary committee reports
that the convention has no author-
ity to order a mandatory primary for
the first state election, nor to pre-
scribe the Qualifications of electors
who shall vote on the constitution or
first state and municipal officers.
The committee held, however, that
the convention has authority to cre-
ate election boards to conduct the
first election and to create canasa-
ing boards for such election.
The commjttec held thai the ex-
tendon of the laws of O}lahoma

abling net makes provision for op-
itonal primaries, and that a differ-
ent. kind of primary cannot be pro-

tains a stipulation that such corpo-
ration shall submit any difference

iliiams, of Durant, introduced a
provision to prevent piping of gas
out of the slate, which was referred
to a committee. It provides that no
company formed for the purpose of
piping gas out of the state shall be
chartered, nor foreign corporation
licensed and any corporations
in existence which continue
gas out of the state shall forfeit its
charters. T he right of eminent do-
main and to pipe across public
roads and streets also denied such
companies by the recommendation.
The hearing of the school land re-
port was set for next Tuesday.

The convention is treatin? the
suit brought against it by Greer
county seeking an injunction In the

vent the division of that county in-
to three parts as a joke. C. N Has-

"You can say that we will pay no

not tile first effort to bluff Ibis con-
vention."
Mr. Murray stated that none of
the lawyers in the convention take
the matter seriously and that th.'
side of the case represented by Ihe
convention will not be presented lo

tion ou Greer county has been
placed on third reading, adopted

yond the power of the convention
to reconsider without nullifying the
whole constitution. The supreme
court will probably do one of two
things tomorrow, decide that it lias

junction. in ease the convention is

PHYSICIAN TELLS OF QUALITIES
OF "MADSTONES."
New Clay Pipe, Easily Procurable, as

Physicians are often asked whether
there really Is any virtue in what are
called madstones. One of (hem, writ-
ing in the Medical Uriel', declares that
these stones are of value, but they
would be of more value if their liuiita
tions were understood.
"There is no particular variety of
stone or substance which uiav be
designated exclusively as the mad-
stone," he says. "1 have soon many
i f them, so-called, and no two were nf
exactly the same composition, geologi-
cally considered.
"Madstones act on the same princi-
ple that a blotting paper does when
absorbing ink, and there is nothing
that makes a better one than baked
pipe clay. A new clap pipe, procura-
ble for one cent at nearly any store
where tobacco is sold, can not be ex-
cP!!«il by any nladstone, no

strated by placing a common dry red
brick in contact with the margin of
a puddle of water and noticing what

Remarkable Human Curiosity Living
on th* Pacific Coast.
Of all the musical curiosities that
Mature has produced lately one of the
oddest is a man with a piano in his
lungs. On the Pacific coast t':ere is
a man by the name of Pearson, his
native state is said to be Arkansas,
but he now resides in a small Wash-
ington town, who can, without any
undue effort, send forth remarkabl
melodies which sound like the music
of a piano with a melodeon accom-
paniment.
This lung piano, as it has be n
termed by the owner, is partly a gift
of Nature, but Pearson has cultivated
the use of the extraordinary instru-
ment very carefully and thoroughly,
until now he is able to play severa>
familiar tunes with wonderful expres-

Connecticut's Bad Record.
Connecticut Is usually regarded a

and yet it had 43 murders in 1906,
where Maine had only two. To be
sure, Connecticut has more people
than Maine, but not so very many
more; it has fewer than 1,000,000,
