BULLETIN
A number of itate lenaton wire
caught at the capitol tail afght and
miaaeg itreet can to town. They
were forced to walk. Ai 1 result the
senate thii afternoon reconsidered iti
previous action on the lO-ealled "Jit-
ney bill" which will permit jitneyi to
rperate In Oklahoma and passed it I
by vote of 24 to I. The measure has
already passed the house.
I'liless something unforseen devel-
ops in the meantime a concurrent
resolution providing for the revoca-
tion of the charter of the Southwest-
ern Hell Telephone company for fail-
ing to install the cotporation'enmntis-
sion'i rates for telephone service will
be introduced in the house of repre-
sentatives this afternoon according
to information received thii morning
from a reliable source.
It ii understood the resolution is
being prepared at the capitol and will
be offered by a representative from
one of the east side counties.
Report that tuch a resolution would
be offered was current in legislative
circles several days ago but the plan
tsas evidently abandoned when the
Oklahoma county district court
granted an injunction restraining en-
forcement of the liurleson rates.
Revival of the plan to offer such
a measure it it believed is a result
of the action of the inpreme court
yesterday in granting an order super-
seding the district court injunction
and giving the telephone company
permission to inaugurate the liurle-
son rates which have created a storm
of protest throughout the country.
Attorney General 1' reeling said this
morning that he would not demand
a lupersedeai bond from the telephone
company for it doesn t amount to
that" laid the attorney general with
a map of his finder.
General Freelmg declared that
there are now I.'.UIO violations of the
itate law every day by telephone
companies in the state. .

declaring that "a yroup f rH(. j (h. senate have deliber-
ately chosen to embarras the administration of the govern-
ment to imperil the financial interests of the railway sys-

The president's statement follows:
"A groip of men in the aenate hnve deliberately choien
to embarrais the administration of th rovrnment to imperil
the financial interctta of the railway syitrmt of the country
and to make arbitrary uae of poweri intended to be employed

"It is plainly my present duty to attend the peace con-
ference in Paris. It is also my duty to be in close contact
with the public business during a session of the congress. I
must make mv choice between these two duties and 1 con-
fidently hope that the people of the country will think that
I am making the right choice.
"It is not in the interest of the right conduct of mihlir
