ABOLISHING STATE SCHOOLS
LEFT TO VOTERS OF THE STATE
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 25.—
The house of representatives today
passed the Bond's substitute refer-
riug the question of retaining or abol-
ishing every educational institution
In the state except the university at
Norman and the A. and M. college
at Stillwater, tothe voe of he people
at the general election in 1914,
The legislature refused to meet the
governor's demands as to when the
question should be submitted and
what votes should dominate. The
passage of the Bond's substitute Is
considered more of a victory for the
"educationalists" than the "aboli-
tionists" and on the whole as an
anti-administration measure.
Speaker Maxey led the fight to
pass the referendum resolution at
once and was frank in his statement
that in passing such
married.
the legislature was digging a hole
for the governor to fall into If he
should refuse to approve any of the
appropriations

Stateswas under moral, as well as
International obligations to submit
the Panama canai tolls controversy
to arbitration. It also was held by
several speakers that congress
should at oneo repeal the tolls ex-
emption act and submit the subject
to a diplomatic negotiation.
llannis Taylor, former minister to
Spain, declared upon the settlement
of the controversy hinged the cen-
tury-old friendship between the
United States and Great Britain and
voiced an earnest plea to congress
to repeal the tolls act to permit dip-
lomatic negotiations for an amicable
adjustment of the question.
Auios S. Shershey, professor of
International Law at the University
of Indiana, was another speaker who
desired to see the question submitted
to arbitration.
"In view of the long and honor-
able history of tho United States,'
declared Thomas Kaeburn White of
Philadelphia, " as a leader in the
movement for the substitution of a
system of international judicature
for the present United States method
of settling International disputes,
it is particularly appopriate that the
opportunity should have been pre-
sented to establish a precedent, lt
would be unworthy of the United
States to rely upon what must be
deemed a technical reason for de-
clining to arbitrate, and it-is to be
hoped that the state department will
not persist in the attlude which has
been assumed."
These officers fo the next year
were elected:
President, Senator Eliliu Root of
New York; Vice Presidents, Chief
Justice White, Justice William R.
Day, Philander C. Knox, Andrew
Carnegie, Joseph H. Choate, John
W. Foster, George Gray, William H.
Taft, William H. Morrow, Richard

A youth 18 years old and a 19 year
old girl were the principal charac-
ters in a love tragedy enacted here

by.
Every bone in the bodies of the
boy and his companion was broken.
As they hurled through the air sev-
eral men and women who witnessed
the sight fainted.
According to the police the leap
from the tower was in accordance

The youth and the maiden had
purchased from tho porter at the en-
trance door, tickets of admission to
visit the tower from which a wide
view is possible. The porter noticed
nothing unusual in their demeanor.
The lovers placed five letters, one
addressed to the police commissary

sponse to Governor Johnson's mes-
sage that California desired to co-

lutions adopted by the seuate and

cal and that of the latter as receiv-
ed at the Whit* House rer.:
