DANGEROUS DISEASE.
tuberculosis Declared to be Acute
and Infectious Malady.
American Congress on Tuberculosis
Takes Important ActiOn-MAkes
strong ReOOmm n datIOnA OF
Provocative Measures,

The American congress on tuber,
culosis, which has just adjourned its
session at New York city, adopted
strong resolutions that tuberculosis
is an acute, infectious disease" and
urging precautionary measures. The
resolutions follow.
Whereas, tuberculosis is an infcc-
tious disease, ordinarily communicat.
ed from person to person by means
of the dried sputum of a consump.
tive patient; and
Whereas, The spread of tubercu-
losis could be largely controlled By
proper care of such sputum and the
enforcement of comparatively simple
measures; therefore be it
Resolved, By the American con.
gress on tuberculosis, that the health
authorities be urged to disseminate
to the widest extent possible
through the public press and other
wise, correct information as to the
manner in which this disease is pro-
duced and the means to be employed
for its prevention.
Resolved, That we believe it to be
the duty of the national, state and
municipal governments to enact ra
tional methods for the prevention of
tuberculosis, and we recommend the
establishment of institutions for the
care of INDECENT consumptives.
Resolved, That there should be
state and municipal supervision of all
public conveyances for the trans
portation of passengers, and in view
OF the fact that splitting on the floors
OF public conveyances favorS the
spread OF tuberculosis and is iniuri-
Gus to the public health, it is recon-
mended that transportation compa-
MES be induced to pass and to en-
force rules against this act.
Resolved, That appropriations
should be requested from state and
governments for the pub
LEGATION and distribution of literature
as a means Of education in the pre-
vention of the spread of tuberculosis
Resolved. That all cases of tuber.
culosis should be reported by the at
tending physician to the health
boards for the purpose Of disinfec-
ton OF houses occupied by consump-
tives."

TO MOVE ECONiUCHKA AGAIN
Historic OId Post once in OkIaho m

Shawnee. 0. T. Feb. 6.-Econtuchka has
been moved once and an effort is being
made TO move it again, says the Quill
That historic old postofice was establish
ed by N. Robinson, for many years an
Indian trader at that place. The post
office was first located three or four steps
east of the line between this county and
the Seminole nation, the word Econtuch-
ka being a Seminole word, meaning liter
ally. the line
On the death of Mr.. Robinson James
Giles became postmaster and moved Econ
tuchka from the Indian territory into
Oklahoma, a distance Of only a few steps
TO the west. Peyton & Traynor, who
have store some three-fouiths of Il mile
further west, are now seeking to get the
postoGce and move Econtuchka again
the allegation being made that the pro-
posed location would be more conveniens
for the public on account of being at the
crossing of section lines. Be that as it
may. Econtuchka seems destined to be
in the state OF Oklahoma. whichever kind
OF a statehood comes our way.

TO HOLD

IN APRIL
New Towns VIII Selec' Off,

so STRANG DECLARES
After That Officers VIII Hold
for Regular Term.

Guthrie. o. T.. Feb. e.-The cities in the
new counties recently attached to Okla
homa which held city elections n few
months ago will have another election 10
hold for the purpose Of selecting city Of
ficials in April.
Attorney General Strang has been look
ing this matter up and says that sn cleo
ton must be held and the laws of Okla
homa IN such cases have been tested.
The elections will be held at the same
time as the other elections in various
parts of Oklahoma. The officers with
hold until the following April after the
election. at which time persons will be
elected for the fun term, whatever that
may be.
There is no question about the law CT
this matter" said Judge strang To-Day.
1T has been thoroughly tested and the
eIectois must be held IN April and The
officers will hold for one year. Aftc-
that the. will be elected for the regular
terms. The first elections held in the
new country were special elections. uu-
thorized by the governor in order TO give
the cities an opportunity TO have NUM-
cipal organization, without being looked
after by county officials"
While in the new country Judge Strang
made such d statement TO the new ofic-
ials there and they are thoroughly con-
versant now with the law on the matter.

next city election

cept it. There appears to be great con-
fusion Of views with regard 10 it. IN the
Indian territory it means statehood for
both territories as one, Immediately, or
no statehood for oklahoma al all. The
single statehood representatives from tha
territory now in Washington. are VIC
iously opposed 10 any bill that provides
for attaching it to Oklahoma in the
future. And they are antag0nizing any
proposition TO admit Oklahoma that does
not include that territory at once-no
matter whether it be 10 admit Oklahoma
with or without a provision as to a future
union Of the two. Finding no support
whatever for their proposition they are
simply making war on Oklahoma. Is
this what the Oklahoma single statehood
advocates mean? Are they, too, in IA
vor of keeping Oklahoma out Of the
union until congress is ready to extend
statehood over the Indian territory?
We infer that. at least, some of the
single statehood advocates in Oklahoma
are not in harmony with this view of
what single statehood" means. and that
they are really in favor OF statehood for
Oklahoma now with provision for the
future ABSORPTION Of the Indian territory.
And there seems to be a confusion of
ideas as TO what is meant by the term
single statehood" that it would be well
to have cleared up. It is not always
easy to understand just what the single
statehood men mean when they talk of
single statehood.

who promptly gave the alarm. IN an
incredibly short time the most of cur
citizens were on the streets and ready
TO do what they could 10 avert the i'm
pending catastrophe. However, by the
time they had reached the burning mill
il was found to be beyond control and
1t was deemed best TO devote attention to
the saving Of the rest Of tho town.
A light wind was blowing from a south
easterIy direction and it was only by
herioc efforts on the part OF our people
that the new elevator of the Farmers
Grain company was saved 1t stands
just a short distance northwest Of the

Had the wind been blowing just little
stronger nothing could have prevented
the destruction of the entire business

The Nardin mill was built about eigh-
teen months ago. Il was one Of the larg-
est and best in northern Oklahoma, and
the loss viii be keenly felt by the COM
nunity. The equipment was Of the very
best and the machinery was nearly ali

oUEENAN's LAST HOPE
Final Appeal in His Case fas Been
Concluded.

Concluded.
Guthrie, o. T.. Feb. s.-Final appeal
in the case OF Thomas Queenan, the con
victed wife murder, has been concluded
by his attorneys, Howard and Ames OF
Oklahoma City. The transcripts of the
cases in the district court and supreme
courts have been made and will be filed
in the supreme court of the United States
within a short time.
This appeal viii close the case as far
as action by the courts is concerned un.
less the supreme court should remand the
case to the lover court for a new trial
The appeal will act as a supercedeas in
the case and no action Will be taken look
ink to the punishment of the condemned
man until after the supreme court has
decided the iaw points that are involved
in the appeal. There are a number of
grounds on which the supreme court is
asked 10 set aside the verdict Of the lower
courts in this case, the principal being
that the juror was not a legal body be-
cause of the presence on the jury of the
man who confessed after the trial was
in progress that he had committed per-
jury on his examination as to his quail
fication as Juror in the case. It will be
remembered that one of the jurors had
been convicted of felony in Nebraska
and that this was not discovered until
after he had been sworn in as juror.
The other grounds are that a large
amount of testimony as TO the insanity
Of the defendant was ruled out that
should have been admitted that there is
a new testimony that can be introduced
that Will be very material to the theory
that Queenan was temporarily insane at
the time of the crime; that the proceed
ings under which he was convicted were
irregular and not warranted by the facts;
that the criminal procedure code OF the
territory was never enacted by the terri
toriaI legislature according to law and
other grounds.
This appeal and one for the executive
clemency of the governor or president are
the last resorts of the attorneys for Quee-
nan. It is not expected that there will
be a decision from the supreme court un-
der a year and possible two years will
elapse before a decision will be made
that will be final. His attorneys are
making hard fight and it is the belief
of the public that he will never be hanged
but that he viii probably be given life
term in the penitentiary as result OF the
efforts that are being made in his behalf.
