BAILY ON
STATEHOOD
TEXAS SENATOR FRANKLY AD
VANCuS HIS VIEWS
Although Formerly Favoring Two
States Mr. Bailey Is Strictly in
Favor of Giving the People
What They Want.
While lit Dallas Saturday night lint
editor of tin- News-Republican met
Senator Joi Bailey of Texas In the
lobby of tlio Oriental hotel
After pawing thy compllment-H of
the evening the writer asked Bonn!:.-
Bailey: "Well. Senator. do you
think we will be given .statehood this
winter?
"1 aee no i eason why."
"Which do you think it will be sin
gle or iiouuiel
"If anything it will be one urate of
Iho two territories."
"I)o you ruvor one or two states."
"I have always boon of tho opinion
that two stales would bo better lor
tho people of the two territories and
I am of that opinion still; but you
lieoplc. tip there have by your notions
iomonstrated 4iae tact to ooimrow
and tho senate that you want ono
state and If you are still of that
opinion one state Is what you should
havo."
"Aro ymi In favor of that'?"
"I .am In favor of It .because you
people know h"Mt what you want;
and while I don't think it Is the wise
thing I will In no way otMtruot the
passage of a bill of that nature
should It reach the senate."
"Whnl do you think of the new bill
giving the new state seven eonuress-
mon instead of five as the original
Hamilton bill called for?"
"I am In fnvor of giving tho new
utate everything In reason but they
hould not nwk for too much."
"How about nrohlhltlon?"
"Get statehood first; minor miitters
will tako care of themselves."
Senator Hailey throughout his con-
versation plainly showed that lie was
In favor -of Immediate statehood for
tho two territories. It Ik well known
however that Senator Ilalley 1 sur-
rendering a principle when lie agrees
to ono stale but ho will not stand in
the wny of a passage of a bill grant-'V-isrJVie
state since the peoplo of the
wo;' territories have shown this is
vhnt t hoy desire. Ho stated how-
ven that the paople in both torrl-
lorleH had been led to bollove that one
state wan Inevitable -when as a mat-
er of fact they had heard no argu-
ment In behalf of two states.
Senator Bailey was tho lending op-
ponent to slnglo statehood in the last
rit-Aslon at Washington and the peo-
ple of Oklahoma aro glad to know
that ho will surrender a 'princlplo in
order to satisfy a craving populace
of a commonwealth of over a million
neople. Hobart (O. T.) Nows-IU'pub-llcan.
WANT FIFTEEN-CENT COTTON.
Desire of Harvle Jordan and E. A
Calvin to Secure This Price.
Fifteen cent cotton is tho aim of
President Harvio Jordan of tho South-
ern Cotton Association and ho has ap-
pealed to tho Fnrmers'Unlou for co-
operation. Tho union has given as-
nuranco of overy assistance. The

tween tho presidents of tho two or-
ganizations. President R. A Cnlvln
of tho Farmers' Union snys that tho
Un minimum seems low and that lfic
U not too much for tho cotton now in
tho hands of tho farmers.
President Calvin favors tho farm-
ers holding each his own cotton until
the time comes to sell; but ho says
that ample provisions will Mm mado
In all th6 central points for storing
the staplo If tb.o farmers desire It so.
Dallas. Galveston Houston nnd other
points In Texas and many places in
tho rest of the cotton Rtatos will bo

tion of Iho cotton soed crushers who

leased rrom active campaigning. Ja-

ter Into her combinations. Tho Iliit-
'Isli government regards the undertak

llrltaln and her Japanese ally in this
undertaking would insure tho solu-
tion of tho .abor problem .which .
would be settled at tho outsoti .Thus '
the now undertaking would stiirt with I
an advantage over the Panama route. 1

ACREE TO
POSTPONE
THE MONK GIBSON CASE UNTIL
DECEMBER 11.
The First Date Nov. 20 Thought to
Be Dannerous Progress of Fair
Would Tend to Produce Un.
usual Excitement.
San Antonio Tex. Nov. U.- -After
a conrorenco -with District Attorney
Maker this morning Judge Dyer or-
dered a continuance or the Monk Gib-
son case until ecenibcr 11.
The trial was orlginallv set for No-
vein bur 20. This action was tnten
Tor two reasons. One Is that the fttlr
! will be In pi ogress on that date and
as It may be necessary to summon as
many as 1000 Jurors that many tatl-
zi.ua would bo greatly luconvunlencod
I at u time when they could least ar-
ford It. The other reason Is that on
nci-aunt of the low rates for tho rair
there will be thousands of visitors In
tlu- city many or thorn rrom Jackson
county and a trial at that time could
not Tall to cause much exclloment.
"Judge Dwyor and I agreed that it
would be unwise to try Gibson on tho
date originally set." said Mr. Ilakur.
' The ralr will be In progress and It
may bo necessary to summon 1000
cltlzuns berore we get n Jury. Many
or these would be business men and
J li would moan great Inconvenlenco
and probably some loss to them to
be JMiinmoncd on a Jury during the
ralr.
The Tact that low rates will be on
rrom all points In Texan at that timo
and thousands of visitors will be In
the city is another consideration. We
want the trial or Gibson to be attend-
ed by as little public oxclUniont as
possible" and necessarily with so
many strangers In the city many or
them from the scene of the crime
there would bo a great deal more ex-
citement ami Interest In it than under
normal conditions We want the ne-
gro to havo an absolutely fair trial
aud believe this postionement is in
the Interest of Justice."

AFTER THE DEAD CLAIMS
ATTORNEY WILKINS SAYS THEY
ARE RICHEST GRAFT.
Believes -25 Per Cent of These Allot-
ments Have Been Procured
Throucih Fraud and Perjury.
Ask for Investigation.
District Attorney Wilklns or t.i.-
Central district announces that h
will strenuously recommend to th
department or Justice 'that a siwciul
Inspector bo detnllod to Investlgit'
every "dead claim" transaction mad?
In tho Central district. Ho says in
his opinion over 25 per cent or- these
allotments have been procured
through fraud and perjury many of
the alleged dead Ipdlnns being Im
aginary.
The traffic In "dead claims" ha-
grown to tie the most lucratlvo meth-
od of grafting In Indian Territory
There Is not a day that paies vvnen
somo innocent party is not taken i:
by grafters who havo alleged allot-
ments to dispose of. Tho Cupltnl has
exposed several forms of grafting n
tho series running In this papor un-
der the caption of "Grafting Amon
the Indians" Other Installments will
rollow as soon as the eases havo pro-
gressed sulllclently to assume crimin-
al prosecution or the guilty parties. '
The purchase of these dead claim
Is a risky business Tne nttornoy
general ha held that they arc Illegal.
Many of the best attorneys In tho tt-
rilory contend that bona fide '.'deal
claims" can be purchased with safe-
ty. A ruling from tho tsrrltorl.il
