Colonel Owen Says Bill Will Die In
 Senate.

Muscogee, I. T., December 10-Oppon- ents of single statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory met here today. The meeting, which was attended by about sixty delegates. does not represent the opposition to single statehood. It is merely the beginning of an organization intended to fight the union of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one State; the delegates want two States or none
 Col Robert l.. Owen. who was the dominating spirit in the gathering, told the delegates In an informal way that the single statehood bill that has been in- troduced in the present house could not pass the Senate. ''If 1t cannot be killed in any other way" said he, it will be filibustered to death. Senator Morgan of Alabama has assured me that he will never give his consent. Senator Jones and Senator Berry of Arkansas are both opposed to the bill. and so is Senator Cockrell of Missouri. have yet to talk to single Senator West of the Missis- sippi River who is not In favor of mak- ing two States of Oklahoma and the In- dian Territory"

LINES OF NORTHWESTERN
Not Known Who Is Behind the New company-capltal Is $1oo,ooo, Which May Be ln-
 creased.

New York December 10.-The Conner cial-Advertiser has the following today:
 There were filed papers for a corpora tion under the laws of New Jersey this afternoon which apparently is intended for a combination like that embraced in the charter of the Northern Securities Company, which is absorbing the securi- ties of Northwestern railroads.
 The title of this new com mpany is the Southern Securities Company. It is sub stantially the same as to the object powers and privileges as the Northern Securities Company. Its nominal capital is $100,000, but 1t may increase the amount at its pleasure. Who and what are be- hind this new charter are not disclosed on its face.
 The charter states that the objects for | which the corporation is established are 1 to construct, operate and control trans poration undertakings. terminals and fa- cilities, to develop any properties, under l takings industries, enterprises or com | panies for transportation by land or wa l ter in any of the States and in any or all | foreign countries.
 Tn some quarters 1t was believed that the new charter was for the purpose of carrying into effect one of the many rail- road combinations which have been re- gently talked of.
 New York, December 10.-The Tribune will say tomorrow:
 It is learned that the Southern Securi- ties Company has not, as was at first rumored been formed to combine some of the great railway companies of the south, but that its object is to hold the secur- tiles of certain minor transportation lines and companies owning terminal facilities at points on or near the Gulf of Mex ico."

WRIGHT TALKS OF
 CARNEGIE GIFT
Plans of the Proposed Wash

FREE FROM STATE SUPP0R I
To Facilitate the Use of the Scientific and Other Resources of Gov ernmentaI Reserach.
 Be Cooperative.

Washington. December 10.-Hon. Car roll D. Wright, commissioner of the United States Department of Labor. to- day made the following statement as to MT. Carnegie's endowment of Ma tional University at Washington:
 "The general discusison which has been carried on during the last twenty-five years in relation to the establishment of a National University in Washing ton, has eliminated in a magnificent plan and endowment by MT. Carnegie or a number of years the university idea held sway, but about two years ago the matter was taken up by the Washington Academy of Sciences, and this body in cooperation with the George Washing ton Memorial Association, formulated a definite plan which differed radically from the university plan contemplated in the earlier years. This resulted last spring, as was then published, in the organization of the Washington Memor- ial Institution The plan was in brief as follows:
 rganization.-A private fund, independent of government support or control.
 "Second-To facilitate the use of the scientific and other resources of govern mental research. To cooperate with uni versailles, colleges and individuals in se- curing to properly qualified persons op- portunities for advanced study and re- search.
 "Dr. Daniel c. Gilman, president of the Johns Hopkins University, was elect ed director of the institution.
 When MT. Carnegie came to consider the question of endowing a national uni versity at Washington, he investigated the whole subject with his usual thor oughness, and found that an institution devoted to research and the training of capable persons was more in accord with his conceptions than the establishment of a university that would be a rival of the already existing universities of the country

MANY WOULD BE COUNTY REGISTRAR Ten Applications Received for
 Each Position ANNOUNCEMENTS TODAY Among the Visitors In the Capital Are Henry 3. Gray and James G.

 Trial.
ANNOUNCEMENTS TODAY

Montgomery, December 0.-(Special.) J. It is probable that the first batch of ap- pointments of county registrars will be announced from the Governors of- flee tomorrow. It was the purpose of the board to announce some of the appoint ments today, but because of the una voidable absence from the city of Com missioner Poole, who is a member of the state board they were withheld. A mem- Der of the board stated that final agree ment had been reached in a number of cases.
 The number of applicants for these po- sitions Is rather surprising. The pay of county registrars Is only two dollars per day-barely enough to pay expenses, but salary does not seem to have cut a figure. It is estimated that an average | of ten persons have made application from each of the counties in the state | for the positions. and it has therefore been necessary for the state board to ex- anime into the qualification of something I like 650 applications. In some counties the contests are very spirited, and dele gations of citizens have come to the cap itol in the interests of their favorites The appointments will be announced as fast as they are finally determined.
 Visitors at Capital.
 Among the prominent Alabama visitors to the Capital today were former Justice of the Supreme Court T. w. Coleman of Greene, State Senator Jones c. Moore of Bibb, Henry B. Gray of Jefferson, M. M. Smith of Autauga and Sol D. Bloch of Wilcox Messrs. Moore and Gray came from Birmingham together, and together kl. told ha newspaper correspondents that their bus mess with the chief executive was of private nature. There is a right lively fight for the appointment of registrars in Autauga county, and MT. Smith admit ted that he came to see the Governor in the interest of some friends
 Pardon for Mrs. Cheek.
 The state board of pardons held a ses- sion today and passed upon a number of applications. They recommended clem- ency for about a half-dozen prisoners. The Governor will act upon these recom- meidations tomorrow.
 Among the pardons recommended was one for Mrs. Cheek, who was convicted with the celebrated Danzler-Cheek mur- der case in Henry County. the story of which was printed in the Age-Herald a few days ago.
 Trial for Opp Rioters.
 The matter of a special term of the Gov ington Circuit Court to try the negroes \ implicated in the Opp riot has been re- ferred to Judge Hubbard. It is believed that Judge Hubbard will issue an order for the converting of the court some time in January. Governor Jelks Is without authority to act in the case.
 Sheriff Bradshaw and his deputies re- turned home today. No further disturb ances in Covington have been reported to the Governor
