Severely criticising the governoroGuthrie had filed options, and that
for his Interference in the state capi-
tal location matter and his attempt
to arbitrarily amend the Oklahoma
City-Ledbetter bill so that there
might be a possibility of making the
people of the state swallow it, Shaw-
nee yesterday filed with the gover-
nor's secretary at Guthrie four offers
of options for sites and land for
state capital location purposes. The
offer is accompanied with an expla-
nation that the options will be ten-
dered the state as soon as the state
can legaily receive them, and is
signed by the mayor and city clerk,
president and secretary and direc-
tors of the Shawnee Chamber of
Commerce, the president and secre-
tary of the Shawnee Development Co.,
and the president and secretary of
the Shawnee Real Estate Exchange.
The offers provide that no part of
the $600,000 of the taxpayers' money
demanded by the Oklahoma City bill
shall be used.
Proposition No. 1 is to guarantee
title to 2000 acres of land lying be-
tween the Baptist University and the
Catholic University, adjacent to the
city, near hte end of the car line
and within two and a half miles of
three railway lines, absolutely with-
out cost to the state. This land is
'owned by the Shawnee Development
Co.
Proposition No. 2 offers three secs-
tions of school and, variously located
adjacent to the city, absolutely free
of cost to the state.
Proposition No. 3 offers 640 acres
of land northwest of the city, also
a school section and having all the
railway facilities of the land in offer
Proposition No. 4 offers as much of
eleven and a half sections of indent
nity school land north of the city as
the call for options will allow.
Accompanying the offer is a reiter
ation of Shawnee's position against
the proposed state capital location
bill.
Guthrie's Offer.
Guthrie also submitted options on
lands for state capital purposes, yes-
terday.
The capitol hill site of twelve
acres and convention hall will be
given and Highland park and any
other land that the state may need
will be guaranteed.
This offer is made in case there is
some one with authority to entertain
such a proposition to make a deal
with the city of Guthrie. The com-
mittee is prepared to submit the op-
tions at any time.
Shawnee's Offer.
Shawnee's offer has not been re-
leased for publication by the State
Capital Committee, as it was desired
that the governor be given an oppor-
tunity first to give it out in full. It
will be published in its entirety in
Monday's issue of The News
Governor Haskell was not in Guth-
rie yesterday, tout wired the Daily
Oklahomau from Hugo that he had
been informed that Shawnee and
he would send the offers in detail to-
day. Shawnee's offer was submitted
in person by A. E. Kennedy, who
was sent to Guthrie for that purpose
yeBterday morning.

Wireless Summons Help for the Dis-

Can Be SaTed.
International Press.
Copenhagen, Denmark, June 4—The
Danish liner United States, with a
thousand passengers, went ashore in
Christiansand Fjord, Norway, this
morning. She is lynig in a danger-
ous position and is leaking badly.
The United States was nosing into
Christiansand harbor at an early
hour this morning, when she was
caught in a terrific current and thrown
from her course; was pitched ashore
at a rocky spot. The passengers
were asleep at the time of the acci-
dent, and many were thrown from
their berths. They rushed upon deck
in a panic stricken condition, and it
was with difficulty that the officers
and crew reassured them and pre-
vented a panic. The pumps were
immediately set at work and distress
signals were fired. Other vessels
were notified of the catastrophe by
wireless and many are rushing to the
assistance of the United States. A,
flotilla of small boats have started
out from Christiansand. It is not
known wnether the vessel can be sav-
ed.
The United States seems to be un-
der a hooddo. She went ashore at
Christiansand three months ago, and
two years ago had a ten foot hole
rammed in her side in New York
Harbor.

the Fidelity Trust Company of New
England, The Southwest National
Bank of Commerce and the Burnham-
Hannah-Munger Company, wholesal-

million dollars, but subject to large
depreciation. Neither Jones Bros,

BALLOON SCARED THE NATIVES.
Guthrie, Ok'a., June 4.—In an opin-
ion to Caude McCrory, county attor-
ney of Woods county, Attorney Gen-
eral Charles J. West re-stated his
former holding that senate bill No. 1,
the new fee and salary law, does not
affect the salaries of the present
county officers, because of the limita-
tion in the constitution which prohi-
bits thelegislature from changing the
compensation of any officers of the
state during their incumbency.
The attorney general suggests that
as the courts might not sustain his
view it would be advisable for county
officers to bring a test suit on an
agreed statements of facts in the dis-
trict court of Logau county, with a
stipulation that the case is to be ap-
pealed immediately to the supreme
court, with a request that it be ad-
vanced for an early de lsion.
The opinion states that the salaries
of county officers in the constitution
were only temporary, to hold until
such time as the legislature might
act.

Tho sale of Armourdale lots, con-
sidering the number of other lot sales
throughout the stae, and he small
amoun of work done on he packing
plan, no o mention the delay in the
extension of the street car line, has
been phenomenal. Secretary C. W.
Cook of the Shawnee Development
Company this morning gave out the
following information in regard to
sales of such lots:
Total amount of sales to date, In
residence section of Armourdale Ad-
dition proper, exclusive of exchange
or other addition, $214,560.
Total number of residence lots sold,
1700.
Average price per residence lot,
$135.
Considering the delay in the con-
struction work on the packing house
and other industries and the street
car line, the amount realized is far
in excess of the comparative amount
raised in Oklahoma City—the reports
issued from there being 2200 lots
sold in their business and residence
districts of Packingtown.
Two good sales are reported for
Friday.

STATEMENT BK
SEN. RUSSELL
WILL CEASE DEBATING ONLY
LONG ENOUGH TO GET THRO'
WITH COURT.
Chandler, Okla., June 4.—"The fact
that I shall end the joint debates
with Jundge Hart of Madill on the
state capital removal question with
the speech at Sapulpa Saturday," said
State Senaor Campbell Russell, op-
posing the Oklahoma City bill here,
"does not by any means indicate that
we are whipped. The Oklahoma City
people knew when we began, when I
told them so, that if the Supreme
Court gave a hearing to the New Je-
rusalem initiated bill during the pro-
gress of the debates, that I would
leave the platform long enough to ar-
gue my measure before the court.
"Hearing is set for Tuesday. I
will spend Monday preparing, and the
schedule of debates ends at Enid on
the date of the hearing. I merely
make this statement iu view of a
possible statement in opposition that
I have got enough and was ready to
quit. I haven't got enough; neither
have I been vanquished. After I get
through with the New Jerusalem bill
in the court I will take the stump,
again fighting the Oklahoma City
bill."
