A CONVICT LABOR PROBLEM.
ject to Having Work Done by
Reform School BOys.

Topeka, Kas.. May 24.-(Special) There
was set-to between the executive coun-
Gil and the army of the POpulist unem-
ployed at the state house this morning on
account of the convict labor question.
State House Farmer HefflebOwer is having
some shrubbery and plants set out in the
flower beds on the grounds. The plants
are taken from the reform school farm.
The superintendent of the farm. in order
to give some of the boys an outing, sent
them down TO help set out the plants. 4
few local Populist labor agitatOrs. seeing
the boys at work. went TO the state Off
GERS and complained of the employment of
convict labor. They demanded that the
boys be sent TO the farm and free labor
be employed 70 set out the pOsies. The
officers asked those complaining if they
wanted the job. They did not, but said
they would 90 down town and find some
men who would be glad to do the work.
The agitators Were too strong TO do such
light work. a brief consultation was held
10y the council and it decided to ignore the
demands Of the agitators. The boys We're
permitted 10 continue the work and the
agitatOrS We're told that they would be
better off Il they would quit attempting
to attend 10 the business of other people
and get out and earn an honest living for
themselves and families.

In His Favor-POSsible That

Washington. May 2i.-(SpeciaD 1t is
generally understood among the crowd of
Oklahoma politicians still in Washington
that Governor Barnes. before leaving the
city Sunday morning, gave his Endorsement
for the United States marshalship 10 De-
ford, one of the numerous candidates for
the place. But it was net an unqualified
Endorsement. 1t has four strings to il.
At the same time that he indorsed DefOrd.
he managed 10 give the president and at
torney general to understand that if De-
ford did not come up TO their requirements
either George D. Orput. Henry Linn, w.
F. Ham or Ransome Paine would be agree
able. and each of these gentlemen hugs
the hope that he is the chosen man.
From all indications. Deford will not
be appointed. The chances favor Orput.
The president talks of Orput in connec-
tiOn with the marshalship whenever Il
delegation of Oklahomans mentions any
thing about the Oklahoma offices that
are still to be filled. in addition to the
apparently good feeling entertained for
him at the White House. geographical
considerations favor Orput's candidacy.
The selection of William NJ. Jenkins to he
secretary of the territory will doubtless
determine the marshalship fight along geo.
graphical lines. Orput comes from the
western side OF lne leTlllOFNs "nlCn mas
not so far had any appointment.
Grimes is out of the race. although he is
stll pressing his candidacy for the mar
shalship and by remaining In the race will
probably iniure Seymour $. Prices chances
for one of the places. Il is expected that
the marshalship fight viii be ended in a
few days. as the matter is being cOnsid-
cred at the White House. II jenkins is
appointed secretary il will he on Barnes
Endorsement. His prominence in the fight
has occasioned much surprise. as he is
hardly known 10 many OF the Oklahoma
Republicans. He has never figured in the
political history of the territory and il is
said that he has never contributed anv-
thing to the campaign funds. Price is a
candidate for this place and surprise

hands break in the doors OF the joints and
spiu all the liquor i'm the streets. At the
