OPENING (HON HULL
The convention hall is rapidly be-
ing put in shape for the grand open-
ing concert and ball to be given next
Tuesday evening.
The seats of the gallery are now
almost all placed. There are about
five hundred of the regulation seats
there that are fixed permanently.
There Is-room also in the gallery for
approximately 300 more seats or
chalrB.
The painters are getting out of the
way now, and as soon as the gallery
seats are all set, the lower floor will
be ready to work on. The floor is to
be planed off, so as to make it suita
ble for dancing. The movable por-
tion of the floor, which will seat BOO
to 1000 people, will be equipped with
movable seats In gangs, so that the
floor can easily be cleared when want-
ed for dancing or other such pur
poses.
On the Stag" this afternoon there
is being erectel elevated seats for
the members of the children's chorus
Tuesday night. There will be several
hundred children in the chorus, whose
voices have been trained to blend In
beautiful harmony. The singing of
the children will constitute one of the
most pleasant features of the pro-
gram. There will also be soloists,
both vocal and instrumental, of more
than local reputation, and several ex-
cellent numbers will be played by the
First Regiment Band.
The concert Is not a band benefit
strictly speaking. The proceeds will
not go to the band directly, but will
go into the band fund, of which it
will form the nucleus, that is to be
maintained permanently to pay for
the use of the band on public occa-
sions, and to give a series of band
concerts during the summer even-
ings. Such a fund, It is believed, will
do away with the "begging" of sub
soriptlons every time the band is
wanted for one purpose or another,
and is, by the way, a part of plans to
do way with the taking of collections
among the business men almost. If
not quite entirely.

After one of the most harmonious
as well as largely attended gather-
ings of the party in the history of
the state, the republican state con
vention closed Thursday evening at
Guthrie.
The first official business of the
convention was transacted in the
forenoon when at 10 o'clock the state desperate,
central committee held a brief exe-
cutive session at the lone hotel, the
object of which was to select and re-
commend temporary officers for the
convention. For temporary chairman,
F. H. Greer; temporary secretary,
Win. Cochran of Nowata county ; as-
sistant secretary. Spencer Apelby of
Garfield county.
It was 2:30 in the afternoon when
State Chairman Harris called the
convention to order. The great pa-
vilion at Electric Park was by this
time completely filled with delegates
and other republicans anxious to wit-
ness the proceedings and encourage
by their presence.
Chairman Harris after stating his
reasons for calling the convention at
this time, and after reading the call,
'submitted the name of F. H. Greer,
who had been recommended for tem-
porary chairman, and Mr. Greer was
unanimously elected.
Roasts llaskclllsm.
On coming to the chair, Mr. Greer,
after expressing his pleasure at the
honor thus bestowed, delivered an ad-
dress in which he stated that he had
searched the English language thro'
in an effort to find words by which
he might appropriately arraign the
parly now in power in Oklahoma, es-
pecially the executive of the state,
but that he utterly failed to find what
he thought was sufficiently appropri-
ate for the occasion. Then he briefly
referred to the democratic party's at-
titude In the matter of the "grandfa-
ther clause," of the extravagant ad-
ministration and of its unstable at-
titude In almost all things which It
has undertaken since It came Into
power In Oklahoma.
In the course of his remarks, Mr.
Greer also paid a high tribute to
ex-President Roosevelt and to Presi-
dent Taft for their wise and able ad-
ministrations, and to State Chairman
Harris, who, he said, had given of hiB
time and his money for the further-
ance of the party's interests In the
present campaign and bad proven
himself a competent and safe mana-
ger.
Rev. E R. Rankin delivered the in-
vocation, after which Milton Brown
delivered an able and eloquent ad-
dress of welcome, P. M| Parmenter of
lawton responding in an eloquent
and fitting manner. Mr. Parmenter,
like Mr. Greer, took the present dem
ocratlc administration in Oklahoma to
task In no uncertain terms, and call-
ed attention to the fact, with pride he
assured his hearers, that the Terri

The Fourth of July Committee aud
two members of the Board of Con-
trol of the Baptist State University
held a conference Thursday evening,
on the matter of the celebration of
the breaking of ground on the Bap-
tist University site. The Board of
Control believes that it will crowd
them too much to hold the celebra-
tion on the Fourth of July, and that
the date would be undesirable, coming
on Monday, as many of the ministers
of the state would not like to miss
their Sunday services, which they
would have to do to get here In time.
Consequently, a date later In the
month and near tho middle of per-
haps the last week in the month, will
probably be named.
The committee has uow joined
hands with the traction company In
preparations for a monster Fourth of
July celebration at Benson Park. It
wl'l be the biggest ever held here,
with sufficient attractions to draw peo-
ple from all over the central part of
the state. Steer roping will be a fea-
ture, and there will be other sports—
base ball, band concerts, balloon as-
censions, etc. The program will pro-
bably be announced tomorrow.
The fireworks display at the park
at night will be a great feature. Sev-
eral hundred dollars will be spent on
this feature alone, and the best ob-
tainable will be secured.
Benson Park Is an ideal place for
such a celebration, being commodious
enough to hold almost any sized
crowds, aud 1b also cool and shady.
The traction company has promised
adequate Btroet car service, and will
widely advertise the big celebration.

Lawton, Okla., June 17. — Chief
Quanah Parker of the Comanche In-

ington, where he waB instrumental in
getting an appropriation made for
removing the body of Cynthia Ann
Parker, Chief Parker's mother, from
Athens, Texas, to Cache, Okla.,where
the body will be relnterred and the
monument erected. He also urged
upon the Interior Department the ne-
cessity or more money for his tribes-
men. Parker immediately upon his
return from Washington went to con-
sult with Indian Agent Lieut. Ernest
Strecker, and this fact is taken by
the chief as an indication that imme-
diate payments will be made. He ex-
pects that the lease money will be
paid In July or August.
Washington, June IT'.—Members of
the Oklahoma delegation in Congress,
while showing the keenest Interest In
the developments in the capital mud-
dle, profess to be without information
on the 8ubjevt, except what is con-
tallied In the press dispatches.
At the Department of Justice It
was suggested unofficially that if
Gov. Haskell threatened a United
States marshal, as reported, he might
be punished for contempt of court
for trying to evade its process.
The statement was made at the de-
partment that no communications
have passed between the attorney
general and the Federal authorities
at Oklahoma touching the controversy
over the location of the state capital;
also that the Federal government is
not interfering In the matter.
The citation of Governor Haskell
to appear In a United States court to
show cause why he should attempt to
remove the capital from Guthrie, It
was suggested, was made by a cltiien
of another state having a property In-
terest In Guthrie. The bringing of
the issue Into a United States court
would have the serult, It was said,
probably of eliminating It from any
prejudices which might obtain were
