JUDGE BRADFoRD'S VIEWS
Favors Single Statehood and a
Joint Territorial Convention

| am ready to agree with th
press of the Territory that it
time that something be dcne in th
direction of securing Legislation
giving us statehood or territoria
government,
There never has been or will bC
part of the United States come
into the union through as many diff.
ficulties as the Indian Territory
1t is going TO take work and diplo-
macy TO accomplish She end during
the life time of the present adult
population.
Seme insist that as soon as the
lands are allotted and the Indian
governments pass by operation of
the treaties, that statehood will
come at once and alone TO the In
dian Territory.
If | thought anysuch thing was
probable | would not say what l
am preparing to say.
Some insist that a territorial gov
ernment for the Indian Territory
alone is within reach at the coming
session of congress.
My judgment is that neither of
these propositions are in the range |
of possibilities.
Every time we have journeyed TO
Washington in the interest of the
Territory we have been told to wait
until the conditions are ripe. They
tell us the Dawes commission will
soon allot the lands, and The town
site commissions will survey, ap-
praise and sell our ,ots, and then
we will have the basis of a revenue
TO support government.
They then proceed to tell us that
it is doubtful, very doubtful if the
senate will ever consent TO making
two states out of Oklahoma and
the Ind Territory. 1t costs |
out little more to govern large, |
and populous state than {
govern a small one. The tendency 9
II the age is toward light taxes and +
ow rates of interest.
Many reasons are assigned why
he two territories should be made

so many times and their }
is so appropriate that l

ton.
We will not get counties anC
thorough municipal organization
until we have ltatehood or terrific
rial organization.
The thing for us to do is to ask
to be made state or territory with
Oklahoma at the coming session of
congress. A bill is now pending
for statehood for Oklahoma. Let
us ask that the bill be SO amended
as to include the Indian Territory
if not in full fellowship now, fix d
time when it may become a part of
Oklahoma upon the happening of
some other change of condition. It
is not necessary that the allotted
life time of the Indian governments
should expire IN order to give us
government.
My suggestion would be TO enact
a law making every Indian a citi-
zen, citizen to the United States,
that be may participate in all pre-
liminary work of organization.

S ates would not rob HIM of any of |

To bring about this result | now
propose that a convention be called

CONSCIENCE MADE HIM A COWARD.
Leopold Rowe COnfesses Murder
Committed Seven Years Ago.

Leopold Rowe Confesses a Murder
Committed Seven Years Ago.
Reading, Pa, Feb. 20.-Leopold
Rowe, aged So years. who was serving
a six months sentence in the county
Jail here for threatening to burn barns
near KutZtown. yesterday confessed to
the prison officials that he had commit
ted a murder near Campbellstown,
Lebanon county, seven years ago, and
as result of this admission he was
taken to Lebanon last night and lodg
ed in Jail there pending a further in
vestigation.
Rowe, while in the Berks county
prison, sevral times attempted to COM
NIT suicide. Yesterday he was in great
distress of mind and called for the
prison officials, to whom he told the
startling story of his having taken the
life of an unknown man for paltry
sum of money Rowe said that he and
O companion named Yockey saw man
at hotel in Campbellstown who SEEM
ed to have considerable money. They
followed him along a road, and Yockey
persuaded Rowe to shoot the man.
After putting bullet in the man they
hit him on the head with club, and
took $50 from his pockets. The two
men then hid the body, and made their
way to Harrisburg Three days latei
they read in the newspapers that the
body of an unknown man had been
found at Campbellstown.
The Lebanon authorities were noti-
fed of Rowe's confession, and the
sheriff of Lebanon came here to inves-
tigate. He believes Rowe's story is
true. The whereabouts of Yockey is
unknown

could get for having the Welcome dis
barment case thrown out of the SUI
preme court of the state. He said that
Justice Hunt was an intimate friend,
and asserted that his motive was to
test Justice Hunts ability to with
stand the corrupting influence or
money. He had received no funds
from any source to pay the bride sug-
gested. and had been promised none
for that purpose.
Mr.. Clark necessarily went over
much of the ground covered by him in
his testimony Saturday. He was cross
examined by Mr.. Campbell. and in
sisted that he had spent no money for
corrupt purposes during the Montana
senatorial campaign. He gave de-
tailed statement of expenditures for po-
litical purposes during the legislative
and senatorial contests, which footed
up, as Senator Turley announced, $780,
900. He declared that his only purpose
in entering upon the campaign was to
overthrow the one man power of Marcus
DAILY in the state, which, he said, was
so tyrannical that he would not desire
to continue his residence in the state
if it was to continue.
Mr.. Campbell said that Mr.. DAILY
would go on the stand in rebuttal. He
is expected every day.

A Tieup in the States Business
Seems Inevitable.
TAYLOR DEFIES LEGISLATURE.

The Democratic Majority Having
Ratified Their Action Declaring
GoebeI Governor. the Republican
Governor Denies Legality of Action
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 20.-The impress
sion that the contest over the COVER
norship will not be ended till 1t is
fought to a finish in the courts is not
lessened by the action taken by the
Democratic senators in their session
yesterday ratifying their former action
by which Senator Goebel was declared
governor. The Republicans who spoke
for Republican Governor Taylor SAID
that he would not recognize as legal
the proceedings taken yesterday, and
which were duplicated in the house TO-
day, but has told them that he looks
upon these proceedings as illegal and
will not quit the fight until the whole
matter is passed upon in the courts OF
last resort. His position Is that, the
former proceeding being void, the pres
ent ratification gives them no legal VI
tally, that the legal presiding officer,
Lieutenant Governor Marshall, had de-
clared the session adjourned when the
vote in the senate was taken, and that
the vote should have been taken by
yeas and nays, as In the case OF bill
or joint resolution.
Negotiations to settle the conflict be-
tween Lieutenant Governor Marshall
and Senator Carter over the chair in
the senate went on again yesterday af-
ttrnoOn, but no agreement has been
reached so far. There is talk among
TIE Democratic senators Of voting on
the ratification OF the resolutions to-
day in the senate by yeas and nays.
These resolutions yesterday received
the support Of 81 senator's, two more
than quorum.
The state contest board Is expected
to render a decision by Saturday seat.
ing the Democratic contestants for
minor state Offices. The Democratic
contestants will then be sworn in and
will make a formal demand for posses
sion of the Offices. This will be re-
fused by the Republican incumbents
and injunctions similar to those pend
ing in the courts over the governor
ship will be filed.
Ine most important lmneuldIe Ell
feet of this will be to tie up securely
every branch of the state government
pending settlement of the contests by
the courts, as it is generally regarded
as certain that banks, county officials
and everybody else who have financial
business with the state will refuse to
recognize either set Of state officials
till the title to the Offices is judicially
ascertained.

county, who was arrested recently on

and was admitted to bail. Sutton left
for home last night in company with

DIVORCE ENDS THE ROMANCE.
GrissOm Withdrayys Damage Suit
Against His Father-in-Law.


Kassas City, Feb. 20.-Arthur Girls
som, a poet and editor of society pa
per published in New York city, yes
terday dismissed his suit for $4,000
damages instituted against his father
in-law, Dr. W. S. Woods, president OF
the National Bank of Commerce, for
alternating the affections of his wife
and breach of contract. The terms Of
settlement are said to include the pay
ment to Mr. Grissom of 5000, while
Mrs. Grissom was allowed a divorce,
the restitution of her maiden name,
Julia Stone Woods, and the custody Of
their 2-year-old child Mrs. Grissom
filed her suit for divorce yesterday
morning, and a decree was granted her
within few hours time.
The marriage of Grissom and Miss
Woods was romantic. She and her
mother went to New York in 1895 to
prepare her trosseau for her marrige
to a wealthy young Missourian. Mr.
Grissom and Miss Woods met, a
schoolday feeling of mutual regard was
awakened, and they were married
hastily at the Little Church Around
the Corner On Dec. last Grissom
filed sensational suit here against
Woods for 100000 damages, alleging
that the doctor had persistently work
ed to set his daughter against her hus-
band, and finally succeeded, and an
other suit for $4,000 for breach Of con-
tract.

Traction Engines to Replace CameIs.

Bucyrus, o., Feb. l9-James Dedrick,
Californian. who has just returned
from China, is here arranging for the
purchase Of number of ten ton steel
wagons and traction engines to draw
them. He will establish a service
across the desert in China, and will
enter active competition for the carry
ing trade, which is now done by cam
els. He says the camels can carry only
about 500 pounds each and make only
20 miles day, while his wagons will
carry ten tons each and can make so
miles. He expects to have so engines
and 5000 wagons actively engaged
within a year.
