MANY SLEEPING IN TENTS
Registration Begins Today at FL Reno and LaWson-"Sooners" in the Ter ritory But Officials Anticipate
 No Trouble iron, Them.

Fl Reno, o. T, July 9.-Every train brings extra coaches crowded with peo- pie coming here to register, and roads leading into the city are lined with trav- elers to this place for the same purpose. The hotels and restaurants are already taxed to their utmost capacity, but there will be no suffering here for lack of food and accommodations. The opera house has already been turned into an eating and sleeping house, and as rapidly as needed churches, school houses and every available room will be given up for the accommodation of the crowd. Many come with blankets, expecting to camp out, and hundreds of tents now dot the side streets to be used for that purpose.
 Governor Richards of the interior de- partment and thirty clerks from Wash ington arrived today and six places of registration will be ready for business at a. m. tomorrow. A line of men has al- ready formed at each of these places. Governor Richards says the work of reg istering will proceed rapidly and as many more booths will be opened as may be deemed necessary as the work progresses.
 Twelve thousand pounds of blanks ar- rived this morning by mail from Wash ington.

THEY MET UP TOWN
 AND GOT MARRIED 
The Groom Returned to His Work and the Bride
 to Her Home

Montgomery, July 9.-(Special. .)-Socie.y is agog in Montgomery tonight because of the unexpected marriage of a popular young couple this afternoon. The plan for evasion of the brides parents was unique and was perfectly executed. The couple were MT. Charles B. Jones and Miss Von- cell Tillis, both of this city. For some months the couple have been attentive, and the continuation is surprise only that 1t should have been in secret
 At o'clock this afternoon while down town apparently shopping MlJs Tillis met MT. Jones and then went tS the probate office, secured a marriage license and then proceeded to the home of Rev. Neal An derson, just block away, where that minister performed the ceremony making them husband and wife. The groom then proceeded to the freight office of the Mo- bile and Ohio Railroad where he Is em- ployed and entered upon the discharge of his duties. The bride returned to her home as though nothing out of the usual had occurred. At 6:45 o'clock she drove to the union station in her own trap and was there met by the groom. A few friends who had been quietly notified were pres ent to see them safely off to Birmingham, where they will spend few days. While at the station the couple wrote notes to their parents informing them of what had occurred
 The bride is very handsome young woman and is a member of one of the wealthiest families in Montgomery, her father, Richard Tillis, owning three banks and cotton mill in south Alabama, be- sides other valuable property. The family recently moved here from Geneva MT. Jones formerly resided in Birmingham. He has brother residing in that city, also a sister. Mrs. Barnes Morgan.

CUBANS REJECT
 ELECTORAL LAW
It Failed to Provide Adeqate Safeguards Against Fraud.
 A New Commission

Havana, July 9.-The Cuban Constitu- tional Convention this afternoon rejected the commissions project for the electoral law by vote of 13 to 12. The conserva- tives claimed that the law as proposed was too radical, inasmuch as 1t provided that there should be no interference with the elections by the central government and because the last elections showed it to be impossible to conduct honestly with out some restraining powers. They point ed out that the provinces and municipali- ties were as yet unable to govern them selves and contended that free hand re- garding elections would result in calamity to the country. In the opinion of the conservatives, the first elections under the election law should be conducted with all possible safeguard. with safeguards equal at least to those provided by the military governor. Rather than accept the commissions project, the committee said they would favor holding the elec- tions under the existing law and leave to the public the task of drawing up suit able law later.
 Another objection was that party lines had not been clearly defined as yet and that the law provided for political repre- sentation on the election boards, which, under existing conditions, would be a farce.
 A new commission will be appointed to- morrow.
 The conservatives claim a majority in favor of the plural vote, based on the Belgian law.

write for magazines and other period

by-gone days. lie has lately received a
pressing invitation from publishers OF
popular magazine in Portland, who say,
iii you would take up the story OF men,
measures and incidents Of pioneer life,
telling the ins and outs Of the why's and
wherefores, in a historical reminiscent
vein whiting along closely to the his
torical, your articles would be contri-
button to history that would be quoted
for all time. A resume on this line we
are very anxious to secure, and we know
OF no living mind that retains its youth
full activity and wealth of words like
yours. In fact, those who came here at
the date you did are all dead or in their
dotage. Those who write express but
secondhand sentiments and assertions,
coloring them to suit those whom they
would tlatter or condemn. Hoping that
YOU will write for us, we are very truly
yours" We hear the DR.. is rummaging
around in his drawers to find and sharp
en- up the old goose quill that set all
Oregon agog long years ago.
