Strict Prohibition Clause In 0klaho-
ma Statehood Bill.
Lands for Public schools Must Ne
Sold In 100-Aere Tracts-Con-
stitutionaI Conventions to
he Held.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The senate
committee on territories, by vote Of
6 to 4, authorized a favorable report
on the statehood bill providing for
the admission into the union OF Ok
lahoma and Indian territory, to be-
come the state Of Oklahoma, and Of
Arizona and New Mexico, to become
the state OF Arizona. The bill Is the
one originating in the house in the
second session OF the Fifty-eighth con.
gress, but has been amended mate
rally by the senate committee. The
closeness of the vote practically makes
4 certain that there viii be a minor.
ity report. Senator Beverage, chair
man of the committee having the bill
in charge, submitted the majority re.
port. The opponents Of the bill Will
contest its passage on the floor OF the
senate. The statehood bill win be
the unfinished business of the senate
after vote Is taken on the Philippine
bill.
The most important changes made In
the house bill are the insertion OF Q
clause prohibiting traffic In liquor FOL
a period OF ten years in that part Of
the proposed state Of Oklahoma now
known as Indian territory and the
elimination from the house bill OF al
provisions with reference to suffrage
except the following: THAT said state
shall never enact any law restricting
or abridging the right Of suffrage or
account of race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude." AS passed by
the house the bill contained excep'
tons, but also specifically permitted
the proposed states. If they so de-
sired, to abridge suffrage on account
of sex. The provision as to sex caused
so many protests from women sur
fragists that the committee struck out
the provision on this subject, thus
leaving no reference whatsoever In the
bill that might indicate an opinion OF
any sort on the question OF female
suffrage.
The prohibition provision relative tc
Oklahoma Is as follows: That the
sale. barter or giving away, except fol
mechanical, medicinal or scientific
purposes, of intoxicating liquors with
in that part OF the state heretofore
known as the Indian territory or Other
Indian reservations within said state
be prohibited for a period of ten years
from the date of admission of said
state, and thereafter until the legisla'
ture of said state shall otherwise pro-
vide"

ately active and was largely local and
confined chiefly TO the conflicting opera
tions OF the bull ard bear cIiques.
The Liverpool markets showed more
strength than had been expected the
rise there OF points on spots TO 5.6s

futures being twice as much as was
necessary TO meet our net fluctuations
OF yesterday. This with the lighter
movement Of the crop for the week
induced considerable buying on the
opening. carried prices up 4 10 points
throughout the list but their level
brought OUT O. large amount Of realizing

Moreover the Ioca3 bear clique as
sumed a more aggressive attitude, and
later on the market lost all the opening
advance and decli-ed 4 10 points under
this pressure. Any attempt at further
depression was however, so strongly
resisted by the bull faction that the
pressure against the market was re-
Taxed and IL later rallied again, and
finally closed steady AT about last
