i Convontion Changes Drastic Clause
Against Soldiers
j GUTHRIE: In addition to granting
, to women the privilege of voting at
i school district elections, the constltu-
! tional convention Tuesday afternoon
made another important amendment
to its suffrage report by Inserting a
provision all .wing the franchise to re-
tired officers and retired privates of
the army and navy, who would have
been cut out by the sweeping disbar-
ment of the military report heretofore
adopted.
The question as to the rights of
ENGROSSED COPIES TO BE PRE- women to vote came up on the sup-
PARED FOR SIGNATURES plemental report of the suffrage com
mittee, which was tabled some days
ago and later replaced on the calendar.
It followed the provision of the Oklar
hotna law, which provides that women
may vote In all school matters. W'l
Hams of Durant insisted that this
would allow women to vote for state
superintendent of Instruction, nnd
even for the governor, as he Is •
member of the state board ot educa-
tion. An amendment was then pre-
pared by Williams and Peering re-
stricting their vote to school district
elections.
In opposing the proposition Presi-
dent Murray declared that if the right
sort of women would vote he would
not oppose the proposition, but that
it was the negroes and lower classes
who would mostly avail themselves of
the privilege. McCance of Mutual
took the other side, and brought down
the convention by declaring:
"I wish to say that the remarks
of the president are very unbecoming
to the fair sex, be she white or black "
A proposition to allow cities to pen-
sion meritorious disabled firemen wig
adopted after considerable debate. The
proposition as originally reported pro-
vided for state pensions, but this was
strenuously opposed by the rural del-
egates who insisted that firemen did
not protect rural property, and that
they should therefore not be taxed
for that pur|x>se.
The report of the committee pn
manufacturers and commerce provid-
ing for oil Inspection and reducing the
oil tests was adopted, and the section
prohibiting discrimination was still
under discussion at adjournment. The
legislative apportionment re]>ort was
placed on third reading and final pas-
sage. as was also the one ou levees,

GUTHRIE: After being In session
for ninety-four days, the Oklahoma
constitutional convention practically
completed its work Friday afternoon
and adjourned shortly after 2 o'clock
until April IB, when the delegates will
reassemble to affix their signatures
to I lie engrossed copies of the consti-
tution. which are expected to be ready
for them by that time.
The election o-dinance and the
schedule were the lust things placed
on third reading and final passage
before adjournment. The provision
grouting the school suffrage U> wom-
en which has all along had a trou-
blesome career was also held over
until Friday afternoon and had a very
narrow escape.
When the roll was called the pro-
vision was considerable short of the
fifty-seven votes required for final
passage, but after considerable skir-
mishing around the sergeant-at-arms
rounded up enough members to Insure
the passage of the measure.
Tearful farewells were again In or-
der as at the morning session. Presi-
dent Murray was thanked for his serv-
ices in a resolution Introduced by
lenrv Johnston and wept a little in
riie course of his speech replying to
the honor. A resoution recognizing

WILL REOPEN TO ENTRY
President Decidcs to Rescind His Ac-
tion on Public Lands
WASHINGTON: As an Immediate
result of the unite 1 attack which
western senators recently made on a
public land policy of the administra-
tion, President Roosevelt will shortly
reopen to entry and settlement more
than half of the <50.000 acres he with-
drew in the last few months.
This relates only to the coal lands
wtihdrawn last year. In restoring to
the open public domain such lands
as have no coal, the president will be
guided by scientific experts.
Secretary Garfield, who will have
1UU prepared, will classify the lands
according to their coal bearing possi
Tillities and tills will be made the basis
of an order restoring part of them to

ably $10 per acre.
It Is believed the president doesn't
l.xik upon the clause with favor, al-
though he Is not likely to turn down
the constitution on account of one
blunder.
Mayor Sidell of Bartlesville has la
sued a proclamation for Arbor day
in which every business and profes-
sional man is asked to close tils place
of business. The schools will be closed
and every man, woman and child is
requested to plant a tree.

Election Laws
OUTHRIE: The convention. In com-
mittee of the whole, abandoned the
Idea of trying to force mandatory pri-
maries for the nomination of all state,
senatorial and congressional officers
in the first stale election, and adopted
an ordinance putting the Oklahoma
election laws Into effect. This pro-
vides for •optional primaries, allow-
ing the state or county committee of

MUSKOGEE: News has just reach-

out of the jail at Wetumka and admin-
istered a severe flagging to him be-
cause he got drunk and mistreated his
family.
A marble cutter, known as "Scotty,"
got drunk, went to his home and ran
Ins wife and daughter away from the
house. Then he went to the home of
the clt.y marshal, kicked the glass
door in. when the marshal stopped his
"good time" by httting him over the
head with a six-shooter. "Scotty"
went home and proceeded to throw his
wife and daughter's clothes into the
stiove. Then he was arrested and

Washingon, I). C. — For more
than 48 hours the White house ami
treasury department have been flood-
ed with appeals for President Roose-
velt and Secretary Cortelyou to take
some action to avert the "threatened
disaster" In the financial and railroad
world. It can be stated authori-
tatively, however, that President
Roosevelt will not change his attitude
toward the railroad, and it is admit
ted that the administration has no 1"
tention of entering on an extremely
radical attack on the railway corpor-
ations.
While it is known that the visit or
j. pierpont Morgan to the White house
last Monday night to induce the pres
Ident to issue a reassuring statement
to the country In regard to the ad
ministration's attitude toward the rail-
roads and the apparent failure of the
financier's appeal has had much to
do with the panicky conditions that
swept over Wall street Thursday, Pres-
ident Roosevelt has repeatedly said
that he is not an enemy of the rail-
roads and that those that obey the
laws have nothing to fear from the
government. While It has not been
definitely decided, the president may
issue a statement outlining his atti-
tude after he has conferred with Pres
ldents McCrea. Newman, Mellen and
Hughitt on the railroad situation.
The administration is firmly con-
vinced that the great unrest, in finan-
cial circles has been brought on by
the arguments advanced by the rail-
road interests in trying to prevent
"hostile legislation" in the various
states and not by the attitude that the
federal government has taken to en
force the laws regulating the common
carriers. E. H. Harrinian, when he
was in this city recently, and Presi-
dent A. B. Stickney of the Chicago
Great Western, who called at the
White house Thursday, have expressed
the same opinion.
Although believing that the condi-
tions in N'ew York are due to nothing
for which the administration is re-
sponsible, the president believes lie
has done everythng that consistently
can be done to give relief to the money
market.
HURRY PATENTS.
Secretary Garfield Has Issued Orders
to Expedite to the Greatest.
Extent Their Issue.
Washington, I). C. — Secretary
Garfield of the department of the
interior Friday issued an order to
I Commissioner Bellinger of the general
land office, intended to expedite to the
utmost the issuance of patents to 30.-
000 entrymen whose applications have
accumulated in the general land office.
The order is based on President Roose-
velt's recent action making easier the
procss of "proving up" under the
law. It directs the commissioner of
the land office "to take up for ac-
tion all locations, selections and en
tries upon which final certificate has
been issued and if the proof is found
regular and complete, and there is no
pending protest or objection, the same
will be passed to patent in the regular
order."
In discussing the order Secretary
Garfield said:
"This order is one of unusual im-
portance to the citizens of the public
land states, involving as it does about
30,000 entries and a large number of
locations and selections which have
accumulated in the general land of-
fice pending examination before the
issuance of patents. Included in these
are about 20,000 homesteads, 7.000 tim-
ber and stone and other cash entries
made under specific laws, 2000 desert
land and 500 mineral entries.
"Because of the failure of congress
to provide an additional appropriation
for the necessary field inspections,
the work can not proceed as rapidly as
desired but the force and means now
available will tie used to the utmost
limit to expedite the patenting ot
lands where the entrymen have con-
piled with the law in good faith."
