NEW STATES.
Talk Of Admitting Several Territories,
Among Them indian Territory
and OkaiahOWa.

ana OkalRhOma.
A Washington special says it is
hardly probable that any new
states will be created by the present
congress, although bills have been
pending since early last session for
the admission Of New Mexico, Ari-
zona and Utah. 1t is quite likely,
however, that all three of these ter
ritories will be admitted by the
next congress, in spite of the tact
that one or two OF the new north
western states admitted a couple of
years ago have not behaved very
eresitably since. The democratic
majority will favor the admission
OF these three territories, and the
Republicans, it is already an
nounced, Will insist upon the crea-
ton of another new state out Of the
Indian territory and the territory
of Oklahoma. The peculiar rela
tons of the Indian Territory
to the United States and to the five
civilized tribes that occupy it make
the administration of law and the
maintenance Of order in that ecm
munity somewhat confusing and
rather difficult, and it is urged that
statehood will be necessary to give
the relief desired. In the adjoin-
ing territory Of Oklahoma even
worse confusion exists. The white
settlers are numerous, but the va
rious tribes Of semi.civilized In
dians that live within the bord aYs
Of the territory occupy lands in
severalty, possesses all the rights Of
citizenship, pay no taxes and con-
fuse affairs generally.
Mr.. Perkins, OF Kansas, and some
OF his Republican brethren in the
Senate propose to cut the gordian
knot by creating one great state
out of the territories. That would
give the five civilized tribes tho
balance of power SO far as the IN
dian citizens are concerned; but i'll
tilne-a very brief time, perhaps
the white citizens wol!d control
the affairs in the new state. Mr.,
Perkins, whe has already made a
speech OH tho subject in the senate,
proposes to make al Indians who
occapy and cultivate lands in sew
crafty OF who are members Of .lte
five tribes citizens of the statr, with
she privilege of voting and Of hold
ing office. Indians who do not pay
taxes and who have no settled res
idencc, sncn as may be obtained by
taking land in severally, are not
to be permitted to note. Mr.. Per
kins' bill provi,ies tor u constitu-
itonal convention to be held ia Jan
nary, ls9s, and the state. after
admission, is to elect its own gov
nor. legislature and sla.c oifit:e s,
and to caansa one rnnresenta.ive
III congtess and Two United States
senator's. Mr. Perkins will rel ew
his fight in hnhalt cf this measure
tter the holidays, though he hard
ir hopes to sccnYe FOR it any ser;ssns
consideration at this session. Ike
declares, however, int It will he
1 passed by the next congress, and
t that one OF the earliest states 10 be
created will be Oklahoma, now two
territories, one Of them occupied
bv tho five civilized tribes and the

ably tame white men.

HISTORY OF TIE CASE.
The case was one Of the most
celebrated ever tried in the Grim
inal Courts in this State. George
Watkins lived on farm a few
miles from Yellville, Marion coun-
", and ono morning in the spring
of 1887 Watkins and Hudspeth
started to town in a wagon belong
iag to the former. Hudspeth had
been WORDING for Watkins and aD
illicit love had sprung up between
his employers wife and himself.
Watkins has not been seen since
tnat morning. Hudspeth returned
home aud everything went on as
usual about the farm until some Of
: Matkins' neighbors inquired into
the continued absence of the miss
ing .nan. Hudspeth was arrested
and soon thereafter the woman was
i.fa,reerated in The jlli at \ Yeltvllle
~ an accessory to murder. Mrs.
Watkins was stricken down with
fatal illness shortly after being
piace in jail, but before her death
told the whole story of the
murder ct her husband by
Hadspelh, and ,icvulged the plans
they had mapped out tor their tu-
ture happiness. On this death
bed testimony Hudspeth was tried
and convicted OF murder In the
tirst degree, and sentenced to be
hanged in October, 1887. The
ease was Appealed to the Supreme
Coart. aud that boly granted Il re-
hearing Of The evidence. The sec
ond calling Of the ease was to havo
occured at the March term, 1888,
of thesBoone Circuit Court, but
shortly before that date Hudspeth
escuped from Jail aud was not APP
pretended tor eight months, when
he was captured in the vamps III
Eastern Arkansas aftor a despcr-
at. fight. The case was permit
ted to drag along nearly year be-
fore it was finally called. At his
second trial the verde. at the jury
was murder in the first degree, and
l{udspeth was again sentenced to
be hanged. His lawyers again
brought his case to Supreme Court,
AMI lett no stones untnrhcd IN their
efforts TO obtain for HIM another
bearing OF his case; but after
thoroughly Weighing all the evil
dencc upon which Hedspeth had
been twice convicted Of murder,
that dy decided that no error
had crepl into the proceedings OF
the coutt below, and affirmed the
decision. The date of his execu-
rion was Sc. for October l3, 1892.

THOSE LITTLE BILLS.
D. X. TRASK AND L. r. PATTY RE-
PEAT THEIR DEMANDS.
The Junk citing Members of tho Board of
Education Preparing for Another
Legal Fight for Their Trav-
cling Expenses.

The board of education does not pro-
pose to allow City Auditor Teale to re-
main in possession of the battlefield ii
they can help it.
Profting by their experience with
Judge Van Dyke in his rejection OF the
claims of the iunketing committee, new
demands have been prepared to be pre-
sented to the auditor for registration.
They were all ready to be sent down
yesterday afternoon, but failed 10 reach
the auditors office before closing time.
The demands OF L. r. Patty and G. t.
Pepper are for $46.60 and itemized; that
of Dummsr X. Trask is for s42 95. and
not itemlzed 30 much. The items OF
railroad fare to San Francisco and back,
hotel bills, ETC., are not given in Mr..
Erask's demand.
Accompanying each demand ia an
affidavit, very long and very technical,
in which it is stated that the demands
are for expenses incurred as members oi
committee appointed by the board to
inspect the systems OF heating and ven
iilation in use in school buildings in the
state, and to report upon the same as
per resolution of the board.

ONLY A LITTLE GAP.
A SHORT PIECE OF SINGLE TRACK
LEFT on ALAMEDA STREET.
Mayor Rowan Evidently DID Not Know
of the Company's Intention.
The Situation at
Present.

The, Southern Pacifc's flank move
ment on Alameda street was still quite
generally talked about in the city yes
terday.
The neatness and dispatch with which
they laid the double track from Com
mercial street to the old San Fernando
street depot is commented upon with
various degrees OF hostility, and many
conjectures are ventured as to their
probable course in trying to close the
gap between Commercial and Fourth
streets.
The railroad people continue to assert
that they will not attempt to build this
S4O0 odd feet surreptitiously, and that
they can not do all that is necessary to
handle their trains on the double tracks
above and below the gap, even though
the single track remains there.
Whether the company is sincere in
this quiescent policy remains to be
seen, but it is fact that by the work
already accomplished it will be COM
paratively easy for them to overcome
the limitations OF the break in the
middle, as may be seen from the &C.
companying sketch.
The herald., 1893-11-09

The short space of 3400 feet along
which there ia still the single track, re-
quires only the fraction OF minute for
trains to traverse it, and will not seri-
ously inconvenience the handling OF the
| largest number of trains they run.
The company could not hope now to
secure franchise to permit the double.
tracking of this missing link. in the
state of public opinion, but they hope
in time the property owners themselves
along the line will cay that as long as
the rest of the street has the two tracks
they might as we'll let it go as we'll.
1t is very different proposition with
this portion of the street. The street
built upon the other morning was in
cluded in their blanket franchise, but
this part is not.
Around the city hall yesterday morn
ing it was not believed that the railroad
company will attempt any more night
track laying at present.
Mayor Rowan was very emphatic in
mis- opinion about the matter.
They will not steal march upon us
again." he said to a reporter. II cer-
tsinly should have stopped them if 1
had had an inkling of what they in
tended 10 do"
10 you thlnk an attempt Will be
made ?''
II cannot tell, But if there should
be, they will be stopped by force if nee.
esssry. The police department has
been notified and will be ready for any
emergency"
The mayor does not think the COM
pany will proceed to such extremities,
however, to close the gep, but thinke
1 - l.. Al l.
as it is and possibly try to procure a
franchise at some future time, when
there would be more chance of securing
it than at present.
The injunction against the company's
proceeding further asked for, Messrs.
Collins. Workman, Downey and others
will take the matter into the courts.

ATHLETIC CLUB FIELD DAY
Some Lively Foot Races to be Held on

That Day.
The fall field day of the Athletic club
on Thanksgiving promises to be the
most successful event of the kind ever
held in this section. The programme
has been selected with much care and is
composed of the most interesting events
of field sports.
The La Crosse game between the
Rivereide and Los Angeles teams will be
warmly contested and prove most excit-
ing. These teams have played very
evenly in their past matches and honors
are little in favor of the local team.
Besides the bicycle races, the foot
races will be more than usually interest
ing Besides the old favoritea, new men
will enter. 1t is from the outside towns,
however, that the dark horses are likely
TO come. Hoyt of Long Beach ia re-
ported to be training hard. Tom Nor
ris's trainer was in the city several
days ago and claimed that he had several
individuals in Santa Ana who could be
relied upon to do 100 yards in 1014.
Gard and Howard, the old favortes,
will also be on deck and a royal struggle
is anticipated.

The crank season has struck Los An

notion in his befuddled brain that he
wanted to die. He not only wanted to
die, but wanted to die hard.
When Officer Woodward rushed into
]. A. ShulPs room, at 2611s South Los
Angeles street, yesterday morning, he
found the occupant yelling for somebody
to kill him. He had undertaken the job
himself, but had failed.
Blood, squirting red blood, was every
where. Shull had attempted to cut his
throat and had only succeeded in hack
ing himself on the left side of the neck.
He WAS conveyed to the station and
attended by Police Surgeon Bryant, after
which he was taken to the county Jail.
A charge of insanity will probably be
placed against him.
Shull is said 10 be recent arrival
from Kansas. Upon his person was
found certificate of deposit on a
