fer the quashing of the indictment
against him, and re-referring of the
matter to the present grand jury for
further investigation.
Sensat onal allegations are made in
this motion. of character similar
to the charges made openly by Sena-
tor Covington after his Indictment, to
the effect that the true bills were not
returned against him upon actual evil
dence introduced before the grand
jury, upon the assurance Of Pros
ecuting Attorney Rhoton that he
'swould make good" the prosecution
if the grand jury would find the in
dictment. This motion is supported
by afidavits of witnesses before the
grand jury that they did not mention
Covington in any manner that would
be incriminating. 1t was asked that
this motion be given an immediate
hearing, in order that the case may
be re-cpened by the present grand

ARMY TRAINING FOR WOMEN
Special Education for Connection
with Military Service in
Germany.

II the German government can carry
out its idea of educating and training
women for such employments as they
are fitted for in connection with the mil
itary service it will go far toward Offset
ting the evils which, despite its many ad-
vantages, practically universal service
for men almost necessarily involves.
The burden Of some of these evils falls
heavily upon the women of the nation,
and they have just and pathetic claim
to any possible compensation, says the
New York Times
Nearly all the occupations for which
women could be adapted in relation to
the army and navy would, at the very
outset, require education different from
that of the class from which they would
be drawn and better. From the lower
service of cleanliness or Of mechanical
employment in the preparation of sup
plies and equipment to clerical work Of
the administrative departments and to
expert nursing, cooking and organiza-
ton OF such work, relatively superior

the intention of the government to pro-
vide. That which the men receive is ac-
knowledged to be in many ways an ad-
vantage. But with the women there
would be the peculiar benefit that every
thing they have to be taught for the pub
lie service would be useful and remuner-
ative in civil life. Ado to this the moral
influence of proper discipline and Of
training in varied and comparatively
difficult work, the increased sense OF ef-
ficiency, the corresponding advance Il
independence and in self-respect, the
conscious relation to the national life,
and it is clear that the plan has many
rich possibilities.

sranQuation in the closing hours Of the session OF con-
gres which has just adjourned II would hardly be cor
rect to say that it died the house Of its friends for
seemed to have no friends except Senator bailey at the
critical moment It's death is due to House obstnacy
propped up by autocratc of Speaker Cannon
who refused to bulge an inch
The House and Senate conferees considered three
propositions involving compromise which would admit
Of action. These propositions
The admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as
one state and New Mexico another leaving Arizona
territory.
The acceptance of the House bin by the Senate, with
the Foraker amendment added providing for the joint
statehood for Arizona and New Mexcoin majority
of the people of each voted in its ayCr
The admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory a
single state leaving both Arizona and New Mexico terri
tories
1t understood that the Senate stood ready to accept
any one of these three propositions The House conferee
however, representing but Speaker Cannon, re-
fused to listen to any compromise. They insisted upon
the bill just it passed the House, providing joint state
hood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory and legazed
rape for the people of New Mexico and Arizona Rather
than Yield they preferred statehood legislation Of any
character The b therefore, stranged in the con-
ference committee.

sideration the rights privileges and interests OF

We have again had practical demonstration that
Congress- particularly the House. proposes to do nothing
for us If was its purpose to recognize what objec
ton could it have had to separating Oklahoma and Indian
Territory from Arizona and New Mexico and admitting
them as proposed by Senator Bailey and again by the
Senate conferrees?
In the light of this situation it seems clear that the
only remaining hope of action is through taking the in
tiatiye at home The hope held out Of action at the
next session through another twostate bill false one
because the same situation which prevented action in the
session just closed will arise next winter and the next
and the next The duty of the legislature in this mat
ter plain and easy and it should lose time in going
ahead on the lines proposed in the Menefee Daniels
Taylor bills and provide for holding constitutional con-
vention. We will get statehood Immediately after the
next congress in that event if we await the
action of congress- may not get it for two four
possibly six years. -Okahoman.

Washington, Dec. 12.-No import
ant changes were, expected in the com
mittee assignments of the Washington
members of the house, and none were
made, according to the list announced
by Speaker Cannon at the opening of
the house.
The only change is that Representa-
tive Humphrey receives an additional
assignment, to the unimportant COM
mittee known as elections No. 81
Mr.. Humphrey will continue on
merchant marine and fisheries, educa-
ton and expenditures in the depart
ment Of agriculture.
Mr.. Jones will continue in his val
liable place on rivers and harbors.
Mr.. Cnshman will remain on the
interstate and foreign commerce and
on private land claims.
The rivers and harbors committee
will have less to do this session, for
there will be no general river and
harbor bill. Mr.. Cushman's commit
tee will have the important railroad
rate measures to consider, and this
will probably be the principal subject
Of general legislation this winter. A

DARLING and PEARSON
EXCHANGE POSITIONS

Chicago, Dec. 11.-W. L. Darling,
chief engineer of the Pacific Railway
Company, and e. J. Pearson, chief
engineer of the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company, have suddenly changed
places. Mr.. Pearson has become chief
engineer of the company which is
building the Milwaukee extension to
the Pacific coast, while Mr.. Darling
has become chief engineer for the
Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Pearson's resignation from the
Northern Pacific came first and was
sudden, and is still unexplained.
Then his position was offered to Mr..
Darling, who was formerly chief OF
the Northern Pacific, and he accepted
it. When he notified the management
of the Pacific railroad of his deisre to
resign they asked him what Pearson
was going to do. Learning that he
was out of the Northern Pacific they
secured him for the Pacific Railway
company.
Mr.. Darling left the position OF
chief engineer for the Northern Pa.
cific some years ago to go with the
Rock Island. He left the Rock Island,
where he was chief engineer, about
two months ago to go with the Pacific
railway company.

INSURANCE PUBLICITY.
Bill That Would Insure MOI Only That,
but Federal COntrOl.

Washington, Dec. ia novel
method of seeking federal control
over insurance is proposed in bill
introduced by Representative Lands,
of Indiana.
The bill cites that congress has ex-
elusive jurisdiction over the District
of Columbia, the territories and the
insular possessions of the United
States, and, in consequence, author
ity is given the department of COM
merce and labor to require full state
ments from all insurance companies
doing business within such jurisdic-
ton.
He states that publicity is, the one
thing required and that no insurance
company can afford to quit business
in any of the territories named to
avoid government supervision. There
fore all companies will be included.
