Ira N. Terrill Again Seeking His Re
lease Fro mthe Kansas
Penitentiary

Before Judge Hook. in the United
States district court at Topeka Sat
urday. Ira N. TerriIl. an Oklahoma
convict confined in the Kansas peni-
tentiary. petitioned for his release on
a writ of habeas corpus Terrill is
now serving a 14-year term for a muir
der committed on the government
reservation in Guthrie ten years ago.
He has asked the Kansas courts to re-
lease him upon the ground that the
state has no jurisdiction over Oklaho-
ma prisoners. This case was decided
against him by the supreme court and
an appeal is now pending in the Uni
ted States supreme court In his pc
tition filed in the federal court Ter
rill sets forth eleven reasons for his
release.
Judge Hook ruled that all of the
reasons for release, with the excep-
ton Of two, should be eliminated and
in his argument before the court Ter
! lrill was required to discuss those
reasons. They were that the oklaho-
ma court had no jurisdiction over the
government reservation at Guthrie
and that the Oklahoma courts had no
Authority to sentence him to Kan
sas penitenuary, Terrill discussed
htese questions for nearly an hour
He was assisted by A B Ashby OF
eBatrice. Neb. who will begin pro
ceedings for the release Of other Ok
lahoma prisoners now in the peniten-
tiary if Terrill succeeds in his effort
The case viii not be decided for ten
days, as Mr. Ashby has been granted
permission to file a brief within that
time Judge Hook announced his in
tention of rendering his decision after
he has had time to consider the brief
and he notified the lltigants that theii
i presence in the court would be un
necessary when he renders his decis
ion

tion OF the exposition buildings at St.
Louis. to visit Oklahoma, spending
several days in visiting various parts
of the territory. Governor Ferguson
Is exceedingly anxious for Secretary
Hitchcock to see oklahoma. and be
heves that a more opportune time can
not be found than Immediately after
the dedication of the exposition build
ings at st. Louis The governor has
not written Secretary Hitchcock rel
ative TO this matter nor will he. pre-
ferrlng to make a personal invitation
instead
Should Secretary Hitchcock consent
to come to Oklahoma the governor will
arrange for a party OF prominent Ok

over the territory. The principal cit
les would be visited and the three new
counties included in the itinerary. so
that the secretary may view for him

Secretary Hitchcock visit Oklahoma y
said Governor Ferguson today. q
shall extend a personal invitation to
him while in ST. Louis. am anxious
for the secretary to see what we have
done in this territory and visit here
would give him a splendid insight into
Oklahoma affairs. In fact. wish thaI
we could have many Washington of
fcials see Oklahoma and am salts
fed that after trip over the terri
tory they would be more than convinc
ed that Oklahoma is entitled to state
hood
Il have no especial thins in minC
in desiring Secretary Hitchcock tC
come to Oklahoma continued th'
governor. There is no official bust
ness to take up with him. do no
believe that there will be a bette
time for the secretary TO visit Okla

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES
Speaker Cannon Vii announce His
ppOintmentS Tomorrow.
IRON TIE rR1RrNE rrRrAr.l

Washington, Dec. Speaker Cannon viii not
announce his committees until Saturday This
was said this afternoon. the Speaker finding that
there were two matters which he
unable TO arrange satisfactorily IN time for an
announcement at to-morrow's session. There
have been several conferences with the Speaker
over the assignments not fully arranged some
Of them with Representative Williams, the
minority leader, affecting places desired by
Democrats Mr. Williams has pressed earnestly
for the assignment of Democrats to the places
designated by him. but at the same time has
been fully aware that there is only one Speaker
Of the House. and that in the end Mr. Cannon
must decide what men shall be named where
there is a conflict of interests. at the time
accepting the responsibility therefor. The two
leaders have discussed the differences in a
friendly way and most of them are already ad-
Justed.
There are few committees of the House
whose methods Of transacting public business in
years gone by have not altogether pleased Mr..
Cannon He Is seeking so far as he can to elm
mate the causes of such methods. While he
may be unable 10 change the assignments to
these committees radically, there seems pretty
good reason for believing that the Speaker will
keep them under close surveillance in the next
two years. and see that, far possible, the
by the Republican leaders.
The increased membership Of the House has
also made il necessary TO limit the number Of
committee assignments some members have. AS
the membership of the House now stands, there
are thirty more men 10 be cared for. including
both Democrats and Republicans. although the
number Of committees remains the same. 1t is
partially for this reason, for example, that Gen
eraI Grosvenor viii probably relnquish the
craftsmanship Of the Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries. he will then have left
two of the finest committee assignments in the
same reason Representative Swanson, of Nir-
GINA, of the members OF the PostOflce Com
mittee. is 10 reIinquish his place there, retain
ing only his assignment as one OF the Democrats
on Ways and Means
Those who have opportunity TO know are
prophesying that other important changes Will
be made in the personnel of the POstOfice Com
mittee. 1t has already been said that Repre-
sentative Overstreet, of Indiana, viii be chair
man, and, as the Speaker is opposed 10 having
two members from the same State one COM
mittee that is taken 10 mean that Represent
alive Cromer, Of Indiana, viii not be retained on
that committee Representatives Finley, of South
Carolina. and Kluttz, of North Carolina,
expecting places at the Democratic side of the
POstof1Ce table.
Representative Ketcham. of New-York, has in

Craftsmanship Of PosJOffiCes and Post Roads.
General ketcham believes that his first duty is
