Guthrie March 18. When the pro-
hibition enforcement and dispensary
measure reached the senate today .al-
ter having been by the house acted
upon adversely to the senate's way of
thinking that body made short work
of refusing to concur in the house
amendment which consisted of re-
attaching the emergency section.
Posthaste the measure was des-
patched back to the house and that
body under the spell that railroaded
it through last week refused to grant
the request of the senate for another
conference committee.

Guthrie March 18.- -Steps have been
taken for the organization of a so-
ciety that In the course of time will
become one of the most famous In
the state of Oklahoma. This organi-
zation will be composed of members
idea and called the first meeting. On
Representative Hobdy suggested the
idea and called the first meeting n
account of so many of the members
having gone home the attendance was
not as large as it would have been
but a majority of the house members
were present. A committee was ap-
pointed by Chairman Hodby to per-
fect the plans and call another meet-
ing soon. While the plan was propos-
ed by the house the senate will join in
the permanent organization.
The society will have a historian
who will keep track of every member
and employe of the first legislature
and .make it report at the annual reun-
ions that will be held. Members are
enthusiastic and it is claimed that
this will be the mentis of sustaining
the work of the present legislature
and will be the means of influencing
to some extent future legislation of
the stuit The principal -eason for
the formation of die soc.ety will be
tn promote a more cordial feeling
among the members of the legislature
and to continue the friendships form-
ed this winter. An emblem will be
adopted to he worn by the members
of the society. Nothing partisan will
be allowed.
BIG BOOZE-SPILLING

duty well but the post of honor is
that of the high private. It was the
men behind the guns who won the
great victory in Manila bay and it
will be the people behind the' rakes
shovels and other destructive weapons
who will do the lion's share of the
work and win the glory in the two
days' combat which opens tomorrow.
Chiekasha is about as clean as the
average town a good deal cleaner than
many but there is room for vast im-
provement. There is work for all.
Do your duty.
All who can furnish teams are re-
quested to report same to Judge Diek-
erson's office.
You are requested to clean your
yard 8Jid alley and place all rubbish
that cannot be burned in the alley so
that it may be hauled away.
What will be the outcome of this
tie-up is problematical. The senate
will reconsider the measure tomorrow
afternoon. In the meantime the
house or a majority of it will stand
by the speaker in his contention that
the bill has been legally passed by
the house and that the ultimatum has
been delivered to the upper body.
The senate can do one of several
things; add the emergency by accept-
ing the house amendment separate
the bill return It to the bouse intact
or pass one of the enforcement bills
now pending.
