indignation in oklahoma.

A large section of the population of
Oklahoma, including the recent Gov
ernor. is astonished, not to say shock
ed, at the removal of the Governor Ey
President Roosevelt.
This establishment may be under
stood when the cause of the removal is
understood.
1t seems that 1t fell to the Governor
to award a certain contract. The COM
pany to which he awarded this con-
tract, it Is said, was ready to present
him large block of its stock.
But did the Governor take it?
Not hei
Not a share of it
The honor of Caesars wife was not
more immaculate than his.
He simply passed the stock over to
his Jealous and loyal political friends.
And for this act of generous self-de-
NAL; for thus standing by those who
had stood by him. he is sumImarily re-
moved from office!
Is II a wonder that there are amaze
ment and Indignation in Oklahoma,
and that hot protests are pouring in ON
the President against his action?
Fellow citizens, are we going to sub
nit 10 this sort of thing? II a man
is not to be allowed to stand by his
frienls when he gets into office. then
how are men to get into office, and
what Is TO become of our politics, TO
say nothing of our friends?
This young man Roosevelt will be
trying to smash the law OF gravitation
next.

STRANGE VISION ON CANVAS.
Cousin of Dead Girl Paints Appar-
ition Seen by Watchers Beside
Her Coffin.

From the New York Journal.
The strange vision which appeared
in March last to. seven watchers by the
body of Julia Murray has been trans
ferred to canvas by Miss Katie Cain,
a cousin of the dead girl and one of
those to whom the apparition was
manifested.
Miss Murray died at her home in
Yonkers, which is opposite st. Joseph's
Catholic Church, on Ashburton ave-
nue.. The night of her death several
Of her friends stayed at the house.
The body was in the parlor. 1t was
about ) o'clock in the morning when
the vision appeared.
Those who saw it are devout Cath
olics and regard the incident as most
sacred. 1t was in the bedroom where
Miss Murray had died that the phe-
nomena were witnessed. The picture
impressed itself indelbly on the minds
of all who saw it, and Miss Cain has
reproduced it lin the fear Of God and
in love of the Blessed Virgin This
is the vision as described by one Of
the watchers and painted by Miss
Cain:
"About a picture of the Blessed Vir-
gin that hung on the wall there came
a glow of light and from this light the
apparition rose slowly, slowly against
the wall. The hands were crossed over
the breast, the finger tips resting on
the shoulders. She was in a simple
white robe, as in the Immaculate Con-
ception, and was surrounded by filny
white clouds.
ut was Julia. We could see the soft,
curly hair about her face. She wore
a beautiful wreath of roses and large
leaves, and her head was in a halo of
light.
Slowly the hands changed to an at
titude of prayeVs the palms together
before her face. and then a rosary
seemed to drop into her left hand. We
could see it plainly and the face took
on sadder look and the eyes closed
as if in prayer. The vision kept ris-
ing and moving slowly across the wall
and so faded away like a dissolving
picture.
1T left the room filled with a strange
light. We sprinkled the sign of the
cross in holy water and the light
blazed up so brightly as to be almost
binding. 1t passed out into the par
lor. lowered moment over the dead
body and then disappeared. !"

bring before the sconven ton, the one
most vital to Southern intercollegiate
athletics being the change in the rule
relating to ''tramfers." BY the present
rule, a man who leaves one institution
of learning and goes to the other, can
not contest in athletic sports until he
has remained a year at the institution
to which he moved. Prof. Patterson
favors a reconstruction of the rule so
that it viii lbe applicable to football
only arguing that man would hardly
remain in college the entire fall and
winter term in order to play baseball
in@the spring. The convention will be
in session three days, and represen ta-
tives from all of the Southern colleges
and universities will attend.

CRESCENT CITY HANDICAP.
Rcn Chance Wins the 81 800 Prize
at New Orleans


New Orleans, Dec. 21.-The Crescent
City handicap, at mile and quar-
ter, and worth $500, furnished the
best contested race of the meeting.
Meade took Nitrate to the front at
once and held the lead until they
swung around the stretch turn. There
the colt swerved and Ben Chance, who
had worked his way up from the rear,
caught up and the pair fought it out
to the end, Ben Chance winning in a
hard drive.
First Race-Selling, seven furlongs.
Death, 8 to 5, won, with Sir Florian
to l, second, and Boomerack, ? to l.,
third. Time 1:27.

complete, and left no room for argu-
ment. The fight lasted thirteen rounds,
but Tipman had the little champion al
most out in the third round and again
in the eighth. 1t was probably his COM
parative experience in the ring that
prevented Tipman from finishing ibis
opponent long before the latter was
sent to his corner. Capt. W. H. Jubb,
Tipman's manager, says: that the boy
is ready to fight anybody in the world
at 40 pounds"
1t will be remembered that all those
that saw the bout between Feltz and
Tipman reported that Feltz never had
chance to win against. not Tipman,
but the referee. According to their ac-
counts the referee deliberately robbed
Feltz Of the victory when he found
that the Baltimorean, despite his supe-
rior weight, was getting the worst of
the bout

FOR COLLEGE ATHLETICS.
The Association SmOoths Matters
Over and Drops Charges Against
Several Institutions.

Charlotte. N. c., Dec. 21.--A special
from Chapel Hill to the Observer says:
The annual convention of the Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association was in
session at the University Of North
Carolina this afternoon and tonight.
The charges of violation of the rules
of the association made against the
athletic associations of some of the in
situations represented were referred to
the executive committee. The commit
tee recommended that the charge
against the Georgia School of Technol-
ogy and the University of Nashville be
withdrawn: also that Sewanee and
Vanderbilt universities be readmitted
TO membership in the association. The
recommendation was adopted.
In regard to a controversy between
the athletic associations of Tulane Uni
versity and the Universities of LOUISE
ana, no action was taken, and several
changes in the constitution of the
Southern Inter Collegiate Association
was made. The convention is still in
session at 10 o'clock tonight. The
most prominent matter before the con-
veniion seems to be the arrangement
of provisions to prevent professional
ism in college athletics. Among the
colleges and universities represented
are the Universities of Georgia, Tennes-
see, Texas. Louisiana and North Caro-
lima. Mercer, Tulane. Sewanee, Van
derbilt and Nashville Universities;
Georgia and Alabama Polytechnic In
stitutes; Cumberland and Clemson Col
leges.
The delegates are for the most part
from the faculties Of these institutions,
and the convention is more largely at
tended than ever before, showing in
creased interest in college athletics.

TIPMAN'S HOT RECORD.
As Furnished From baltimore, His
Native Town.

Savannahians interested In boxing,
Particularly those that saw the recent
Feltz-Tipman bout in Baltimore viii
read, with interest the following ac-
count of Tipman's abilities and record,
recently sent out from Baltimore:
Joe Tipman, the unknown young
sler who unexpectedly floored Terry
McGovern in Baltimore at the begin
ming of October, and gave Terry the
warmest battle he had engaged in up
to that point, who later battered Tom
my Feltz into helplessness and then
won on foul, viii meet George Dixon
on Dec. 30. Dixon has sunk into the
class of econd-raters, but he still re-
mains one of the fastest and cleverest
boxers in the ring, and his meeting
with Tipman will give the public an
opportunity of seeing how far the Gle
ment OF luck has figured in the two
most recent public appearances Of the
Baltimore lad. There was plenty OF
talk OF chance blows and accidents

The last practice of the Savannah

Uses to be hard fought, but the Savan-
nahians will like it all the better for
that. They figure that if their line
can hold the Macon crowd, and they
have little doubt that it can, the backs
will take care of the scoring.
More than usual interest centers in
this game from the fact that each team
SO far has not been scored against,
and this in spite of the fact that they
have played the strongest teams of
Florida and South Carolina. This be-
ing the case the winner of this game
will be entitled to the championship
of both those states and of Georgia as
we'll.
The team will be made up from the
following players:
Smith, Cleft end.
Fhompson-Left tackle

NO BASEBALL THIS WEEK.
Schedule of Military League Inter

There will be no game of indoor base
ball this week, and it is probable none
next week. The. Christmas and New
Year holidays and their attendant pres

makes it impossible to continue the
regular schedule at this time, but il

next game will be between the OgIe-

hams are at the head of the league
but the Oglethorpes hope to tie them
for first place by defeating the Hus-
sars in the coming game. The Hus
sars will have a much stronger team
than when they met the Chathams,
their last game, and that the Ogle.
thorpes will win is by no means a

GORMAN'S GREAT FIGHT
Upon the Negro Franchise Result
Rests the Democrats Fate.

Annapolis, Md, March Elm the
Maryland Legislature today eX-United
States Senator Arthur z. German,
who arrived here yesterday, will di-
rect the fight which probably will re-
suit either in his ultimate return to the
United States Senate or his final re-
tirement from state and national poll
tics. The Republicans are prepared
for bitter contest under the leader
ship of United States Senator Me-
Comas. The bill to amend the cleo
tion laws so as to Iprevent illiterates
from casting their ballots is the princi-
pal object for which the special session
was called. 1t will. provide that the
names of the various candidates shall
be so arrangedon the ballot thatno one
who cannot read and write will be
able to cast his ballot intelligently.
The affect of this measure if passed
would be to practically disfranchise
about 80 per cent of the $1,000 negro
voters of the State and make Demo-
cratic Legislature next year almost a
certainty. The Democrats, however,
have only a bare constitutional ma
jority in the Senate and are visibly

Clearing the School Site,
more.

AS noted in the REGISTER the site
for the third ward school building was
encumbered with two houses and a
barn. These were purchased by the
school board and after advertising for
bids were sold to the highest bidder.
Mr.. George Davis bought the south
house for some $3.50 and Miss Clifford
Mitchell secured the north house for
about the same. Work began today
of moving the buildings off and as
soon as the fence and barn are dis
posed of the site will becleared for the
new building. The board is now
working on the papers and will soon
ad dvertise for bids for the construction
of both north and south buildings.

THE WR|TS WERE GRANTED.
Judge Stillwell Grants Habeas Corpus
Writs and Sets Time for Hear
ing-Perhaps AcqTittal.

Word comes from Yates Center yes
terday by wire that Judge Stillwell
had heard the argument in the habeas
corpus proceedings brought by the
two joint-keepers recently arrested
who were unable to give bond, They
were Willard Hibbs and George Clay
ton and both are now in the county
jail, all the rest being out on bond.
The court set March Is as the date
for hearing the arguments in the cases
and the men must stay in Jail until
then. It is believed that the granting
of the hearing means that the court
believes the men are in Jail contrary
to law and that if the hearing sub
stantiates the evidence already sub
mitted by the lawyers for the defend
ants he will grant the prisoners their
liberty. OF course in that case the
men on bond will be free also, for the
same flaws which would make invalid
the warrants against Hibbs and Clay
ton would make the others invalid.
Local lawyers are taking consider
able interest in the proceedings and
opinion is divided as to the legality
of the actions, and the ruling of the
court will be awaited with interest
both by the lawyers and the public.

TRAIN OF CEMENT SHIPPED
Fourteen Cars of Portland Cement
Shipped to New Orleans
Tuesday.

Tuesday, March ., train load of
an engine, caboose and fourteen cars
pulled out of lola for New Orleans
over the Missouri Pacific, every car
loaded with lola Portland Cement.
1t is one of the first big orders which
the Pacific has secured by having
built mile of switch to the plant. A
photograph of the train was taken as
it left the works and the flying cars,
properly decked with banners, will
not be bad advertisement for the
little town in Kansas as it goes whiz-
zing across the country. The cement
is the first installment of big order
from an elevator company in New Or
leans and other shipments will fol-
low.
Local officers of the company ex-
press great satisfaction at the way
spring orders are coming in. 1--WE
expected ira de to be slow at first, !"
said one of them, 'but the way it has
opened up now far surpasses our
tondest hopes. We are all hustl1ng
here at the works now to keep the sup
ply on hand large enough TO fill hur-
ried orders and there seems not the
slightest doubt that 1901 will see lola
brand established firmly on the mark
ct all over the southwest and the fac
tory thus compelled to run practi-
cally full tilt, night and day"
This is good news for the company
and for lola, for if the plant does
run full force there will be steady
work for several hundred more men.
And in the meantime, how many towns
are there in Kansas that ship out
trains of fourteen cars of home pro-
duct in one day.

Hogs in a Runaway

An amusing but rather pitiful
sight about II o'clock yesterday
was wagon attached to team of
runaway horses which went flying
through town. In the wagon stood
two fat, helpless hogs. The team
started at the stock yards, where the
hogs were to have been unloaded, but
while the driver was gone, the horses
started to take the hogs back home.
OF course sharp turns were made,
crossing and culverts bounced over
and hogs went up and down a little
more rapidly than is usual on the
local market. The team was caught
in the east part of town and the hogs,
none the worse for the fast life they
had been living in town, were duly lei
out at the stock yards.
