spectators thronged the corridors and
the rotunda of the c.ipitol early in the
day and the gallerie.; to which admis-
sion was had by card only were taxed
to their capacity long before the hour
for assembling arrived.
Many high officials of the govern-
ment left their desks al the depart-
ments to witness the opening of the
session and to greet their friends.
Many strangers in Washington had
their first glimpse of congress, while
the congressional halls were the Mec-
ca of the Washingtonian. Many hand-
some floral tributes were placed on the
desks of members.
The house was called lo order by
Clerk McDonnell, The fact that a
speaker was to be elected and that
this was the first session of new con-
gress. added to the Interest that usual-
ly attaches to an opening day
First of importance among events
was the election of Cannon as speaker,
next was the swearing in of the mem-
bers and the drawing of seals The

leader. Williams of Missi sippi.

Responsible for Death From Wires
GUTHRIE: In answer to the request
of Governor Ferguson, the following
important written opinion was filed
with tho executive by Attorney Gen-
eral J. C. Robberts:
"In reply to your letter of recent
date, relative to accidents which hava
occurred in Oklahoma, to persona
coming In contact with live wires, 1
beg to express it as my opinion that
the officers of such companies are
criminally responsible for culpable
negligence or wanton carelessnes
which can be legally proved. The
law holds persons guilty of such care-
lessness to the same extent that It
does intentional wrongdoing. In cer-
tain extreme cases, the facts might
warrant the conviction of officers of
an electric light company of the crime
of murder; If the acts were perpetrat-
ed In utter disregard of human life,
and so as to evince a depraved mind.

Tribal Tax.
Ml'SKOGEE: Notices are now bp-

Agent Shoenfelt to business men and!
all others held to be liable for the j
payment of the Creek tribal tax that
unless payment is made within ten |
days the place of business ot the de- j

The payment of this tax has been
generally discussed, and it seems prac- |
tically the unanimous sentiment that
payment shall be resisted. A meet- '
ing of the business men of Muskogee
was held last night in the rooms of!
the Chamber of Commerce to adopt 1
some plans of standing together. A
committee was appointed to confer
with Secretary Hitchcock.
The tax is regarded as unjust and a
holdup for the beneht of the Creek
treasury, without any benefits ln re
turn. The instructions of Mr. Shoen-
felt from the interior department are
positive to enforce the collection or
close the places of business, and tin*
