HOUSE ROBBED
The residence of B. F. Harrison
on Broadway Heights, was entered by
thieves Monday night and robbed of
$7, a number of keys and several val-
uable rings. The thieves gained en-
trance to the house in the manner of
experts and departed without leaving
a clue.
A law existed among the ancient
Ixichrians to the effect that whoever
proposed a new law, should stand
forth in the assembly with a rope
around his neck, while the vote was
being taken, and if the law he had
proposed failed of passage he was im-
mediately strangled.
Such a law would work very great
hardship in America, and particularly
in Oklahoma at this time. Some advo-
cates of recognized ability, and even
some of the accredited expounders
and administrators of the law among
us, would begin to wheeze and draw
their breath with difficulty.
Every lawyer and judge in the pro-
posed ' state of Oklahoma and many
who think they are lawyers, whether
they are so In fact or not, has his
ideas as to what our constitution
should contain. The public prints
up to date havfe disclosed that on this
question as well as upon most every

Not One of Them Has Been Able to

They Are Hustling.
The new railroad rate law which ap-
plies to all railroads doing an Inter-
state business went Into effect at mid-
night It will be enforced by the
interstate commerce commission. Ac-
cording to the new law, the roads
were to have filed with the commis-
sion by midnight all tariffs and charg-
es, showing not only the full cost of
transportation from point to point, but
also what Items go to making up of
them. From today on there can be
no "extras" but the shipper is expect-
ed to be able to obtain in advance a
final statement of the charge he has
to meet.
It is stated that in fact not a single
company has been able to comply ful-
ly with the provisions of the law, re-
quiring them to have all their sched-
ules on file by midnight. The sched-
ule of switching charges was the most
difficult of completion, and it is said
that no road has been able to finish
it in time to file as the law directed.
Under the law every company which
falls to complete Is schedules may be
fined, but it is believed the inter-
state commerce commission will give
additional time in every case where a
road has given evidence of a sincere
effort to comply with the law. lo

mittee representing the big eastern
railroads will go to Washington in or-

couference will be attended by rep
resentatlves of the anthracite coal
roads, who are anxious to obtain a
ruling from the commission on that
section of the law which prohibits a
railroad from carrying from state to
state any article manufactured, mined
or produced by It except for its own
use.
