Washington O. C June 23. The
omnibus public buildings appropria-
tion bill passed Wednesday la full of
Oklahoma provisions and the same
may be said of the omnibus Indian bis
by which it is hoped to bring about
the sale of 430000 acres of rich agri
cultural land In the segregated coal
and asphalt tract in Choctaw an
Chickasaw nations. The bill in its
present form does not provide for the
opening of this land to settlers for
the reason that the senate has refused
to pass upon such legislation directly.
That the senatorial conscience would
not object to voting for a conference
report containing such legislation
seems certain. Senator Owen propos-
es to see that the provision goes in
the bill. So does Representative Mc-
Guire who may also be a conferee on
the bill.

President Taft s support and the goodr"
reason to believe that Senator LaFol-
lette also has changed front and will
co-operate with the Oklahoma con-
gressional delegation to secure this
piece of much-needed legislation .
Wednesday was field day for the
Oklahoma congressional delegation in
many respects and it Is doubtful
whether the new state will share so
liberally In many a day.
In the public buildings bill that was
passed delegation shared as follows:
Guthrie Gets Piece of Pork.
Representative McGuire: Enlarge-
ment Guthrie federal building $12..-
000; newi projects Kingfisher $4.'-
000 Blackwell $50000.
Representative Morgan: Oklahoma
City $130000 for additional site and
first class building material; Kl Reno
building and site $1000W).
Representative Creager: $30.0()0
additional appropriation for federal
building at Muskogee; Tulsa building
$135000.
Representative Carter: Ardmore
building and site. $150000; McAlester
building $135000.
Representative Ferris: Lawton
building. $'135006.
Senator Gore as a member of the
committee on public buildings and
grounds co-operated with the delega-
tion throughout and it wis only
through his persistent fight that the
senate did not cause considerable re-
dactions in the omnibus bill.
It was he who added McAlester
Chickasha and Tulsa to the bill.
Senator Owen distinguished himself
by refusing to permit reduction of the
Muskogee appropriation of $.'!!0(m
which seemed too big to most mem-
bers of the committee; also by amend-
ing the bill on the floor of the senate
pnabling Craig. Carter and Pittsburg
counties and the city of MuftkOfM to
acquire title to federal jails In their
respective communities. There Is al-
so a federal jail at Guthrie but no at
l.mnl hoc Keen matin in . rhiw
jroperty to the former state capital.
The omnibus Indian bill as passed
by the senate among other things re-
fer the Osage civilization clatm
amounting to 1700000 to the court of
claims; authorizes Dennison Coal Co.
to surrender unprofitable coal leases
i:; the Choctaw and Chickasaw N't
Coat; authorizes the isecrptary of the
interior to pay taxes on lands of niinoi
Indians in order to prevent tax sales;
to enable the Savannah Coal Company
at Savannah to enlarge its coal lease

His original demurrer to the com
plaint of the county attorney was

ting out that the court has no juris-
diction over the person of the gov it
nor an dthat the plaintiff is not the
proper person to bring the actions.
It is further claimed the court has
no jurisdiction of the subject matter
of the suit.

Opportunity for study of hum. in

SPECULATION IS RIFE
AS TO COURT'S OPINION
ana Still Take Up Question
ol Enabling Act
i 3
There was entire suspension of
proceedings In tho capital location
mailer today on account of the ex-
pelled opinion of Judge Campbell
who conducted this wk a hearing
of unexampled Interest. Mot only
.ue nil court matters stayed but both
sides are rest g on their oars in all
respect. On tho streets there Is hard
ly another subject of conversation.
Speculation as to whit Judge Cam
pboll may or may not do Is plentiful
Inn there are so many questions in-
volved and so many ways In which
an action in equity r -y bo vlowed
that a forecast is futile. The Judga
hat wide latitude In such cases. A
There lias however been an im-
pression among people who attended
the court that Judge Campbell mav
throw out the Coyle petition for In-
junction and still take up the ques-
tion of the enabling act. He heard
arguments on all tho questions com-
bine I. No attempt was mado by the
counsel lo'make any restrictions. All
the attorney arguod at will on tho
constitutional plmsos .tint on the pro-
perty rights.
Coyte's Right to Bring Suit.
The right of W. H. Coyle to bring
suit as has been up this week Is.
;n tho popular conception the first
question at issue. It was strongly
contended by the defense that be had
no such right. After all tho enab-
ling act was the main point for th
attorneys for Coyle stawed their case
on the proposition that It was by n iaj
son of the enabling act. and the well-
grounded faltb lu Its force that had
caused Coyle to make heavy invest-
its here. Apparently the question
is: Will Coyle suffer special and di-
rect damages by reason of the ab-
ogatlon ol the enabling act lucat-
ing the capital until 1913. of Will he
suffer only lncraental damages dif-
fering only in degree from losses pos-
lble to other citizens?
Question of Taxes Enter.
The question of tuxe enters. Coyle
r.onti ml I a at he vould be compell-
ed to pay added taxes by reason ol
the proposed removal of the capital
and would therefore he. damaged to
ihc extent of more Hum I2.0D0. The
cnuri refuses lo Uimi cognisance ot
ligures submitted but b's object m
ho doing Is not known
It Judge Campbell should sustain
the petition for Injunction tlx re wid
remain the necessity for a to.aul
hearing on the enabling act argu-
ments on which have alreaoy been
made. Should he dismiss the peti-
tion ho could still consider the enab-
llng set it Is believed. The enabling
ict lias been que Honed In this case
It is not Improbable that Judge
Cam pboll will give an opinion on I::
enabling act. in case he sustains the
lie Itlon. Presiding in nu equity case
be may take occasion to review every
thins !-rotight befere bltn but uu-
doubtedly further profoedings In the
circuit court will follow any flndlug
on the muln question.
Temporary Injunction May Issue.
An affirmative decision that Is
sustaining the enabling set may eans
the Issuance of a temporary Injunc-
tion asked for even if the Coyle sub-
ject . should not bo taken under eoa
.nleraMon in their entirety. They
allege violm ion of the enabling act
In the event of the Coyle motions
being lost Outhslo could doubtless
find another way of getting back la-
in court.
Meanwhile there Is pending la th
liH" cunt in Injunction matter the
state officers having already been "n-
I by Judge Huston from moving
he siate records.
