Guthrie, Ok., Nov. 29.—One thing
became very evident during the con-
ference here last Saturday of the re-
publican members of the Third leg
islature and that was the republicans
will stand together, to a man, for the
adoption of an honest election law by
the regular session that convenes on
January 3.
Such a measure will be drafted by
the republicans and submitted to the
legislature for adoption, and if It is
not accepted by the legislature, then
the republicans immediately, under
the direction of State Chairman Jim
Harris, will initiate the bill, submit-
ting it to the people for their adop-
tion.
Every Indication is that the people
of Oklahoma want an honest election
law and will vote for one If they get
chance. This was Bhown at the
polls on November 8, when the Bry- R|chardBonf the fam0UB batting star

Sapulpa, Ok., Nov. 29.—Enoch Amy,
a negro, is in a dying condition, as a
result of being shot twice ln a flgbt,
which Is the result of a feud between
two factions of negroeB six miles
southwest of Kellyville, this county.
George Davis, his assailant, Is being
hunted by deputy sheriffs.
The shooting Is the culmination of
a long-BtandIng trouble between two
factions of the blacks, and more se-
rious complications are expected.
Fears of an outbreak have caused
Sheriff Harry O. Stein to hold ln
readiness a force of deputies.
The upper picture shows Hardy

or not. It locates the capital at Ok-
lahoma City and provides for imme-
diate removal.
The companion bill to It, which was
introduced 1" the house by Bolen and
Jones, authorizes the governor to ac-
cept a donation of eight acres of
land, wherever It may be selected by
the commission, to be used strictly
as a capital site. If the commission is
appointed by the governor, the same
commission will be ro-appointed and
the site selected.
Against Putnam City.
The opposition to the Putnam City
site is embodied in the Redwine bill
introduced in the senate. It also lo-
cates the capital ln Oklahoma City
and provides for Immediate removal,
but instead of a commission to be' ap-
pointed by the governor. It provides
for a Joint legislative qommisslon
from the two houses to select a site
and report to the regular seBBlon.

re In charge of the state board of
^_j1Ii affairs. Some question has
been raised as to whether the board
would let them go, ln view of the
fact that the Injunction Issued by the
district court of Logan county still
stands against that board. J. J.
Quarles and J. T. Dlckerson, two of
the members of the board, stated to-
night, however, that they expected to
deliver the property to the legisla-
ture or its agents ,as It belonged to

pose of. Both members state that
they did not consider that injunction
applied to this property. It Is not
considered probable that any effort
will be made to get a separate in-
junction to prevent the removal of
this property.
as to the intention of the appeals
brought before them? This is a
question receiving much discussion
at the court house.
It Is alleged that the state ln trial
of Henson failed to prove that the
crime was committed in the State of
Oklahoma. Both County Attorney
Breckenrldge and his assistant, Luth-
er James, proved that the murder of
Stamper by the negro waB committed
in Tulsa county. The concensus of
opinion Is, however, that the criminal
court of appeals will not allow that
technicality to stand ln the way of
the facts and the record ln the case.
Frank Henson will be sentenced to
be hanged on December 3 and follow-
ing all precedents ln such cases,
Judge L. M. Pope, sentencing Jurist,
will set the day of execution for the
fourth day of January.

Ok'ahoma City, Nov. 29.—Speaking
in opposition to the ratification of the
governor's call for the special ses-
sion Hon. J. Harvey Maxey of Shaw-
nee said in part:
"As far as I am personally con-
cerned," said Maxey. "1 should much
prefer that the legislature should
meet at Oklahoma City than at Gu-
thrie, but I can not reconcile myBelf
to the necessity of this extraordinary
session. I want to make my position
clear. We adopted, prior to state-
hood, an ordinance Irrevocable, pro-
viding that the capital should remain
at Guthrie until 1913. I believe with
our supreme court that congress had
no power to Impose this restriction,
but that is not the Issue here. t
"With conditions as they are now,
the democratic party can never Jus-
tify the calling this legislature out-
side of the city of Guthrie.
"Shall we come ln here, take the
bits ln our teeth and declare an
emergeLcy, when no emergency ex-
ists? 1 dare say that lu all the his-
| tory of this republic you will find not
! an Instance where a legislature met
i under these circumstances. If we do
j this thing we will eslablich a prece-
1 dent that we and the democratic par-
|ty will regret. In my oplnlon> Mr.

journ and meet at Guthrie."
