SENATOR HANNA HAS TYPHOID.
His Age And Rheumatic Condition Make
The Case Serious.

Washington. Feb. S.-Senator Hanna
is officially pronounced to have typhoid
fever The following bulletin was is
sued by his physicians:
''Senator Hanna has typhoid fever.
The diagnosis is confirmed by the COM
plete blood examination reported by
DR.. Edward Brown. The senator rested
fairly well during the night. and his
temperture is 100. pulse s2.''
Dr. Behrond is {; microposic expert
in this city. He made two tests. The
first one showed the presence of the
typhoid bacillus. The second test was
made to confem the first one.
The question of sending for the
members of Senator Hanna's family
was discussed with the physicians and
it was decided that it was not neces-
sary at present to send for them. The
physicians say the outlook is hopeful
for recovery and that the crucial
period of his illness should be passed
in about week. They say that in
most cases of that illness.
1t is realized that the senator's ad-
vanced age and his rheumatic condi-
ton make the case more serious than
in a young man but the belief is ex-
pressed by his family that he will
recover though he will be confined to
to his bed for considerable period.

of employment the demand for labor
has been of permanent character.
Wages have been increased in nearly
every line of employment in the state. "

JOINT. TARIFF UNLAWFUL.
A Mere Suhterfuge To Give Concession
OF Rates.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The interstate
commerce commission has decided that
the action of the three railroad COM
panies entering Hutchinson, Kans., in
dividing rates on salt with the Hutch
inson & Arkansas railroad company,
so-called railroad company, is unlawful
and that the joint tariff made is a mere
subterfuge to give concession in rate.
The decision says that the Hutch
inson and Arkansas railroad company
owns over 1000 feet of siding adjoining
plants of the observation-disclosures Salt
company, has no equipment or rolling
stock and its earnings are controlled
by the salt company. The latter, it

FOR SINGLE STATEHOOD
Sentiment In Congress Seems To Be
In That Direction.
THEIR ARGUMENTS ARE GIVEN
st..se lIake of The Two territories VIII
Make shapeiy. Compact State as
Regards Area. 1t Would secsaw the
Political Games.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Out of all the
agitation for statehood for Oklahoma
will probably come from the house
committee on territories bill provi-
ding for single statehood for oklaho-.
ma and Indian Territory jointly. A
prominent member of the committee,
who has been present at all the hear
ings and taken deep interest in the
matter, as well as canvassed sentiment
among members of the house, expressed
this as his opinion. Said he: Per
sonally. am for separate statehood for
Oklahoma with its present boundaries,
and excluding the provisions of the
McGuire bill which allow congress to
annex portions of Indian Territory as
it may see fit. l shall vote for this
proposition for several reasons, suffi-
cient unto myself. but 1 am certain,
from what L know of the sentiment
among other members of the commit
tee, that that proposition will be de-
feated. Sentiment is for statehood for
the combined territories, which will
make shapely, compact state, as re-
CARDS area and boundaries, and when L
am out voted, shall support that sort
of a measure, if there is statehood leg
islation at this session of congress. l
believe that Oklahoma will be the ter
ritory admitted, together with Indian
Territory, as one state. There is this
objection to the Mcclure bill. If it
were left optional for congress to take
in portion of the Indian Territory
when it felt so disposed, democratic
congress might add one of the Indian
nations. The next republican congress
might add another Indian nation in
order to make the state> republican,
and so on. 1t would be a political see
saw game until all of Indian Territory
was absorbed"

EXPORTS and IMPORTS
Exports In 1903 More Than a Billion
And a Half Dollars.
IMPORTS WERE sl,o35, ll9, 1923.
Exports of 1908. Over 1870. Increased
1eo Per Cent, While Exports of 1908
Over 1870, Increased s1o Per Cent,
and Exports s1,1o5. 100000.

Washington, Feb. ; The value of
ports of continental United States in
1903 was more than billion and half
of dollars. While the figures issued by
the department of commerce and labor
total exports of S1,4s4, 6s1 ,99j, they
do not include the shipments from the
United States to Hawaii or Porto Rico,
and if these were added they would
and half dollars.
Commerce with the Philippine
Islands, Guam, Tutuila, ETC., which
have not yet been made customs dis
tricts of the United States. is still re-
tanned bp the bureau of statistics in its
totals of foreign commerce.
The exports to Porto Rico and Ha-
wall are, respectively, to Porto Rico,
S11, $40, sos, and to Hawaii, S1l. sl2, 143,
or a total of S22. 632 ,O37. Adding this
to the total of exports to foreign coun-
tries in that year, would bring the
grand total to l,5Os, 314, O32, the sum
necessary to be used for comparative
purposes in stating the growth of our
export trade as compared with the
years prior to 1909.
Turning to the important figures and
adopting the same plan of including
the merchandise received from Hawaii
and Porto Rico, the figures for 1908
exceed one billion dollars for the first
time in any calendar year. From Por-
to Rico the value of merchandise re-
ceived into the United States in 1903
was SO, l52, 1923, and from Hawaii S29,-
$40, 73l, and those, added to the imports
from foreign countries in that year,
bring the total merchandise received
into the ports of the United States in
1903 up to 81, OBS, 119, 500.
Imports in 1903, on the same basis of
comparison, have increased 12O per
cent as compared with those of 1870,
and exports show an increase of 27O
per cent, compared with 1870. The
total increase of imports from
1870 to 1898 was 574 million dollars,
and the increase in exports during the
same time was los millions.
