Exercising for a second time In the g
present session his prerogative of vot-
ing la case of a tie, Lieutenant Gov-
ernor M. E. Trapp cast his bal'ot to
amend the "bank robber" bill In the
senate, extending its terms to cover
all felonies. As amended and re-
drafted by a special committee ap-
pointed by the senate committee of
the whole, the bill was extended tc
include any felony committed "by the
aid of explolves, fire arms or other
force or violence." Spirited debate
preceded the vote.
Senator McIntosh made three at-
tempts to amend the bill as to the
amount to bo appropriated to the re-
ward fund, his first motion being to
reduce the appropriation to $2,000.
Failing in this, he lodged a second
motion to reduce It to $5,000, and then
a third time to reduce the sum to $10,-
000, each of wich motions was
promptly voted down.
House concurrent resolution No. 4
memorializing congress to pass the
Shepard-Hobson nation-wide prohibl
Hon amendment was passed by a vote
of 31 to 11. The resolution was op-
posed by Senators Davidson of Tulsa
and Davis of Sapulpa, and after Its
passage Senator Mitchell gave notice
of his intention to lodge a motion to
reconsider the vote.
Final Passage for Two Bills.
House Bill No. 20, by Hunter of
Choctaw, making amendments design-
ed to strengthen the general statute
relating to crimes ana punishment for
perjury, and house bill No. 70, by Rep-
resentative E. E. Glasco, consolidat-
ing the offices of county clerk, clerk
of the county court and register of
deeds with the office of clerk of the
district court In McClain county, also
were passed finally.
To Increase Court Commission.
Legislation that will transfer the
authority of appointing members of
the supreme court commission from
the supreme court to the governor,
and perhaps increase the number of
commissioners, was foreshadowed In
action taken by the house.
The bill providing for continuation
of the commission as now constituted
and continuing th6 present method of
appointing commissioners was under
consideration by the house in com-
mittee of the whole wnen an amend-
ment by Representative N. B. Maxey
of Muskogee, proposing that the gov-
ernor should appoint members of the
commission was adopted by a big
vote.
At the same time Mr. Maxey pro-
posed an amendment that would in-
crease the number of commissioners
from six to fifteen. Discussion on
this amendment finally resulted in the
bill being recommitted to the house
committee on Judiciary without ii
structions. Th? debate, however, on
the floor of the house, and the vote
on the first amendment was sufficient
to Indicate beyond doubt sentiment in
favor of Increasing the number of
commissioners and placing their ap-
pointment in the hands of the gov-
ernor.
New "County Line" Bill.
With the avowed purpose of defeat-
ing the plan to organize the new coun-
ty of ShafTer with Cushing as Its
county seat, Senator Edmonson
pressed his new county and county
line bill to its third reading and final
adoption in the senate. The territory
most vitally affected by the bill has
no representative 1n the senate and it
met no opposition insofar as the in-
terests of the newly proposed county
are concerned.
This measure makes two important.j
changes In the present law and r -
qulres an affirmative vote of 60 per
cent of the qualified voters of any
given territory to detach It from one
county and attach It to another. The
old law only required a bare majority.
The second change extends the dis-
tance from ten to fifteen miles. By
the terms of the Edmonson bill no
county line can be so changed as to
locate a county line nearer than fif-
teen mlleB to the coqnty seat, while
the law, as It now exists, fixes the
limit at ten miles.
The house voted to dismlsB the con-
test of W. W. Whltmore, republican,
against C. L. Plnkham, who was elect-
ed a member of the house from Kay
county by a plurality of one vote.
The senate has passed a law amend-
ing the Harris-Day Code by the pro-
visions of which the board of agricul-
ture may take a census of the state
through the county assessors and the
county clerks. The board of agricul-
ture may futnish blanks to the asses-
sors and that Individual is to perform
the service required in conjunction
with his work as listing property for
taxation. The cent us work will be
done whhout pay. The provision of
the law was suggested by President
Frank Gault .of the board of agricul-
ture.
Prohibition Bill Killed.
While In committee of the whole
the house stripped the prohibition en-
forcement bill, Introduced by the joint
house and Benate committee on prohi-
bition enforcement, of all Its material
features and then killed the bill en-
tirely by giving It an unfavorable com-
mittee report. When the house got
through with the bill In committee of
the whole only one of the original sev-
en sections remained In the bill. The
bill sought to make it practically un-
lawful for common carriers to deliver
Intoxicating liquors in any quantity to
tny person.

Important Agreement.
An Important agreement with refer-
ence to appropriation bills has been
reached between the appropriation
committees of the house and senate,
by the terms of which the work has
been divided between the two
branches of the legislature, with
view of expediting action and saving
time. It is agreed that all appropria-
tion bills for the secondary agricul-
tural schools, the A. & M. college, the
penitentiary and reformatory schools
and the general appropriation bill
shall be introduced and considered
first in the house. The work In the
way of appropriations in the senate
will be that relating to normal
schools, the state university, school
of mines, charitable institutions, the
general deficiency bill and the state
capltol.
The committees request that all ap-
propriation bills be introduced not
later than February 1, and by this
methodical way of handling the appro-
priation measures it is hoped to avoid
any of the disagreeable and entangling
difficulties encountered by the fourth
legislature.
Automobile racing associations,
baseball clubs and other bodies whose
purpose is to promote amusement en-
terprises, will be enabled to incorpor-
ate under the laws of Oklahoma, if a
bill ofTered in the house by Represen-
tative J. H. Wright of Oklahoma City
becomes a law. It is not thought that
any opposition will arise toward the
measure inasmuch as It is wanted by
several sections of the state, includ-
ing Muskogee, Tulsa. Okmulgee, and
Sapulpa, as well as Oklahoma City.
Capitol Contracts Awarded,
It was announced by the state cap-
ltol commission, that contracts have
been let by that body for all the ma-
terials that will go Into the basement
of the building. The total amount of
the contracts let is $79,426, and they
embrace all the materials that will go
into the portions of the basement and
sub-basement of the capltol that are
not yet completed.
Pensions for ex-Confederate soldiers
and their widows Is proposed in a bill
Introduced by Senator M. M. Ryan ol
Poteau. Should th.s bill become a
law the old soldiers would be paid
$120 per year and widows of ex-Con-
federate soldiers would be cared for at
the rate of $100 per year.
No more deputy county attorneys In
counties with a population of fewer
than 40,000 Is the law sought to be
enacted by Senator O'Neill. In pre-
senting the bill the senator contended
that It would bring about a saving ol
over $60,000 per annum to the tax-
payers of the state and further sug-
gests that the present expenditure of
this sum Is worse than waste.
More public service corporation leg-
islatlon is suggested by a bill intro-
duced by Senator Davidson of Tulsa.
While the bill by Its general terms re
lates to all public service corporations
the real purpose of Its supporters Is
to reach the oil pipeline companies and
to compel them to appear before the
cororatlon commission and give bond
to provide adequate facilities for the
transportation of all oil offered.
A concurrent resolution proposing
that neither branch of the legislature
permit the Introduction of bills after
February 1 except committee bills and
bills specifically rec< mmended by the
governor was Introduced by Repre-
sentative W. T. Powell of Cotton and
Comanche counties.
A new house resolution Is by Mc-
Cance of Woodward and proposes sub-
mission of a constitutional amendment
that will reduce the size of the legis-
lature to a senate of twenty-one mem-

bers.
Propose to Charge New Fee*.
A report compiled by Attorney Gen-
eral Prince Freellng at tne requeBt of

an average of 430 municipal bond issue
elections are successful in Oklahoma
every year. They are to be used by
the governor In recommending to the
legislature that the attorney general's
office be paid a fee for approving
bonds. The entire amount repre-
sented by the average year's issues Is
just $5,000,000, the Individual Issue*
usually being small.
Washington. — Answering nineteen
separate and specific charges, calling
attention to the fact that the United
States government has promptly taken
to task Great Britain, France and
other allied powers, and declaring
that every possible effort was being
put forth to protect these rights and
maintain the strict neutrality of the
United States to the European nationB
at war, the United States government
has issued a lengthy defense of it* in-
terpretations of the rights and duties
of a neutral.
A document 5,000 words long, pre-
pared by President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan and Counsellor Robert Lansing

retary of state to Senator Sione of
Missouri, chairman of the senate com-
mittee on foreign relations.

quiry from Senator Stone for infor-
mation as a result of complaints made
In the press and in letters from vari
ous parts of the country, charging the
Washington government with unfair
ness to Germany and Austria, it also
is intended as a pronouncement of pol-
icy on some questions of neutrality
previously unexplained.
Concerning War Munitions
After answering nineteen separate
and specific charges and calling at-
tention to the fact that the United
States has promptly taken to task
Great Britain as well as Germany and
every government which in any way
has infringed upon the rights of this
country, the letter concludes with the
following declaration on the much dis-
cussed question of exportation of war
munitions:
"If any American citizens, partisans
Df Germany and Austria-Hungary, feel
that this administration is acting in a
way injurious to the cause of those
countries this feeling results from the
'act that on the high seas the German
and Austro-Hungarlan naval power is
thuB far Inferior to the British. It is
;he business of a belligerent operating
an the high seas, not the duty of a
aeutral, to prevent contraband fro-®,
reaching an enemy. Those in this
country who sympathize with Ger-
many and Austria-Hungary appear to
issume that some obligation rests
jpon this government In the perform-
ince of its neutral duty, to prevent
ill trade In contraband and thus equal-
ize the difference due to the relative
naval strength of the belligerents. No
?uch obligation exists; it would be an
unneutral act, an act of partiality on
the part of this government to adopt
such a policy If the executive had
the power to do so.
"If Germany and Austria-Hungary
an not import contraband from this
country it is not because of this fact,
;he duty of the United States to close
Its markets to the allies. The mar-
kets of this country are open upon
equal terms to all the world, to every
nation, belligerent or neutral."
During the course of the letter's dis-
cussion of the serious charges made,
the following facta hitherto undis-
closed were revealed for the first
time:
That the Canadian government re-
cently asked the United States for
permission to ship "war equipment"
icrosB Alaska to the sea and the re-
quest was refused.
Protest to Allien
That the United States has brought
That sharp representations also
were made to another of the allied
governments because search was con>
ducted on the high seas on an Amer-
ican ship for German aid Austrian
passengers. The name of the vessel
or offending government was not re>
vealed.
That on December 15 last the Ger-
man ambassador by direction of hlJ
government delivered a memorandum
to the United States government stat.
ing that "under the general principles
of International law, no exception can
be taken to neutral states letting war
material go to Germany's enemies
from or through neutral territory."
That representations were made to
both Japan and Great Britain against
tho continued presence of their war-
ships off American ports and that the
protests in each case was heeded.
That since the announcement of the
Washington government's disapproval
of war loans, none has been made to
foreign governments by this country.
A distinction is drawn officially for
the first time between loans floated
by popular subscription and large
credit transactions for the purchase
of war supplies, the state department
revealing that it has no objection to
the latter.
Fair to All.
In a general way the letter sets
forth that rules of neutrality have
been promulgated by the American
government without discrimination
and have been applied with equal
fairness to all concerned. It cites in-
stances of violations by Germany and
Great Britain and asserts that protests
have been unhesitatingly entered re-
gardless of the country offended.
