The Office of DR.. II. j, Furman, or
the second floor of the Carter building,

There is some mystery as TO the way
entrance was effected. The door OF the
Office was found to be locked, but one
of the windows was open 1t is be-
lieved that the burglar got out on ii
narrow ledge and worked his way
along until he found window which
he could open. This must have been
Il rather risky proceeding, as the ledge
is narrow, and Dr.. Furman's window
is over ten feet from the hallway vim

PROVISIONS OF FLYNN'S
STATEHOOD BILL
Chief Points Are The Same
as Those Used Last
Congress
[By Associated Press.l

Washington, D. c., Dec 5--Bills
for the admission of oklahoma and
New Mexico to statehood were intro
dneed IA the house today by Delegates
FLYNN and Rcdey The oklahoma bin
ls practically tha same as that intro
duced at the last session by Delegate
Flynn It embodies all the usual pro-
visions pertaining to statehood. and
fixes the time for the presidents proc
lamation at the second Monday in
May, 1902.
Under the provisions of the bill the
territory Of Oklahoma is to be admit
ted to statehood with a pledge in its
constitution that the Indian territory
shall become a part of the stae when
he lands now held by the Indians shall
become taxable and congress shall
pass legislation calling for the annex
alton of that territory to the new
state. All of the other provisions Of
the bill are similar to those contained
in the measure before the last con
gress,
Delegate Flynn states that at the
proper time Oklahoma win be repre-
sented in Washington by a delegation
o fcitizens who will unite in a state
hood campaign and will remain until
definite action is taken. by congress.
Under existing treaties il will be some
years before the lands of the Indian
territory can be subjected to taxation,
and additional legislation by congress
and the Indian tribes will be neces-
sary to make the territory eligible to
admission as a part of the propohed
new state.
The bill for the admission of New
Mexico as a state, introduced by Dele
gate Rodey, complies with the usual
provisions, except in the matter OF
lands for public schools and public
buildings. The bill proposes that -four
sections Ia each township. instead OF
the usual two, be set aside for the
benefit of the public school fund, and
that 100000 acres of the public do
main be set aside for the public
building fund. A committee composed
of eight Republicans, eight Democrats
and the chairman and national com
mitteeman of each party. for New
Mexico, will come to Washington tc
work for statehood for the territory
whenever Delegate Rodey decides that
their services are needed.

The appointment OF Tom Ferguson
as governor of Oklahoma should en-
every citizen within the Dor
ders of the territory as to his ultimate

petent as is Ferguson. The political
requirement is ev'iently no longer

political heeler could not have been
