Washington, d. C. Jan. 24.--Noth'
ing can be said regarding the so-called
Nelson bill. for as a matter Of fact
that bill died a-bornin That bin was
before the -"-ste two days and
was withdrawn by Senator Nelson. be-
cause Senator Quay threatened to
have vote on 81. and Nelson knew
that it would be defeated. That would
have been a victory for the omnibus
bill.
During the early days Of this session
OF congress. there was a chance that
the older senators might defeat the
omnibus bill. and the readers OF this
paper were fully informed OF what Sen
ator Allison was doing. as we'll as
what he intended to do With sena.
tors Aldrich Of Rhode Island. Senator
Hale OF Maine and Senator Proctor Of
Vermont. it has long been customary
for the subtle Allison to steer the SEN
ate to whatever direction he might
please. Every effort which parliamen-
tary skill could devise was resorted to
and the writer believed that the omni-
bus bill would be defeated. But. after
a ten minute confidential chat with
Senator Quay. it became apparent that
the old leaders we're up against the
kind Of a proposition which they could
not defeat. and the readers were SO
informed. The old senate leaders new.
or ran up against such a fghting ma
chine as Matt Quay.
Because OF the facts pointed out
by Senator Jones Of Arkansas. the
people Of Indian Territory have no
chance for statehood under the so
called Nelson bill; and it would be
useless to deceive the people OF the
Territory II would be useless for

ing at space rates. for nothing good
could come Of H. Senator Jones stat.
ed plainly and bluntly that Indian Ter
ritory is practically friendless before
congress, and. being friendless. need
not expect friendship from the alleged
statesmen. The best measure now
pending for Indian Territory is the
Moon bill; and the best friend of the
Territory is Congressman Moon Of
Tennessee, who is insisting upon the
passage OF his bill.

The interference OF the president in

startling event Probably - acted

The question is not complicated by
the fact that Mr.. Smoot. the leading
republican candidate for United States
senator from Utah. is a high dignitary

ANNUAL LITERARY CONTEST.
Honors Awarded for Best Essays-Re-
suit of Debate

The second annual literary contest among
the pupils Of the M Street High School was
held in the assembly hall Of that Institution
last night. The exercises were entertain
ing and showed marked improvement in
this feature Of the school work.
Four young ladies' OF the fourth year class
wrote competitive essays. two Of which
were considered by the board Of judges to
be Of superior merit in points Of thought
and composition. The first place was given
to the essay written by Miss Anna, NJ
Jackson. whose subject was Environment
as a Means of Culture" while the second
place was assigned to the essay written
by Miss Ruth Piper, whose subject was
Judges OF the essays were Mrs. John r.
Francis. member of the board of education;
Mr.. Percy M. Hughes, director of high
schools. and Rev. Owen W. Waller. rector
OF st. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church
The most interesting part of the program
was the debate which was engaged in by
Messrs. Boyd and Brown Of the third year
class and Messrs Fair and Compton of the
fourth year class. The subject of discus
sion affirmed THAT the President Of the
United States should be chosen for a term
OF six years and should not be re-eligible."
All the debaters acquitted themselves well,
but the Judges decided that the affirmative
had failed to show sufficient reasons for
the change which they proposed, and that
Mr.. Samuel Compton, the last speaker on
the negative, delivered the best speech.
The judges of the debate were: Mr.. Jas
F. Bundy. member of the board OF educa-
ton; DR.. Waller and Justice r. H. Terrell.
Other interesting and entertaining features
of the program were the singing by the
Shaw University Quartet, violin selection
by Mr.. Joseph Douglass and singing by the
NJ Street High School Glee Club.
