WAS A BREEZY ORATOR.
A. E. Crane of HoIton Shocked the
United States Supreme Court. r

Washington. Jan. 12.@'You fellows
must realize the Importance of this
decision was the language of A. z.
Crane, Holton, Kan, attorney. while
addressing the supreme court of the
United States in a Kansas liquor case.
Not since another distinguished Kan
san made his appearance before the
same august tribunal in a flannel shirt
and hot weather coat. has the dignity
of the supreme court been more rude
ly shocked. Mr.. Crane was thorough
ly engrossed with his subject and was
proceeding in a breezy and interest
ing style to tell the chief Justice and
his associates all about 1t.
He had ginger" and SNAP" and
unlimited confidence in himself He
did not intend the slightest disrespect
in an amused way. The officers of
the court confidently looked for an ex-
plOsiOns but none came. The court
appeared to enjoy Mr.. Cranes pre-
sentation and showed its interest in
his case by asking numerous ques-
tions. The case involved an applica-
ton for a writ of habeas corpus Mr..
Cranes client had been convicted of
selling liquor to an Indian and was in
jail for his crime. He was naturally
anxious to get out and his attorney,
in order to accomplish the desired
end, brought out legal points that had
never before commanded the attention
of the court Mr.. Crane cOntended
that his client had sold liquor to a
man who was citizen of the state of
Kansas and that the government could
not step in and assume guardianship
over his person and acts for the rea-
son that in voting, owning property
and paying taxes, he exercised all the
privileges of citizenship. He further
contended that the Kansas Indians no
longer maintain tribal relations. that
they possess lands allotted IN seVeraIty
and that the federal government had
no jurisdiction over them, as they are
mere citizens of Kansas. Mr. Crane
said that the government in this case
assumed to separate the Indian citizen
of Kansas into two parts, and insisted
that it took more than the power of
the United States to separate a man
from his appetite, especially IN KAN
sas."
He protested against the contention
Of the solicitor general that the gov
ernment had jurisdiction over the ap-
Detite of the Kansas citizen and the
state over his person. Justice Harlan
took hand in the proceedings by
asking, so that it could be heard
throughout the chamber. if "a man
could not be a citizen of the United
States without being a citizen of any
state?" and was promptly informed
that ''it was impossible, according to-
decisions of the supreme court of the
United States" Mr.. Cranes original
presentation suggested the idea that
his client has exactly the same status
in law as Representative Curtis. MT
Curtis has Indian blood and land has
been allotted to him. He is technical
ly a ward of the government and yet
as a citizen of Kansas is serving his
state acceptably in the lower house.
Mr.. Crane was formerly county at
torney of Jackson county In offerlng
his argument before the supreme
court one of the officers said: The
supreme court evidently liked Mr..
Crane and Mr.. Crane liked the court

it before the committee. Senator
Long believes the new state has been
safeguarded. Some of the Oklahoma
visitors think differently and assert
that the retention Of the words pre-
ference right to purchase" in the bill
will cost the state not less than five
million dollars.
IF congress had not given us the
five million dollars for Indian terri
tory, but had stricken out the pro
vision regarding preference right we
would have lost nothing said one
Oklahoman. Five million dollars is
a conservative estimate of the states
loss"
Senator Long. who offered the
amendment. said:
MY object was to get the most
money possible for the state and this
1 think has been done. The lessees are
entitled to preference right provided
it can be given them without sacrifice
to the state. The proviso which has
been substituted for like clause in
the original Hamiat 6n@bilI defeats any
possible scheme lessees might have to
prevent honest bidding for the land"

FUss1NG ABOUT CONSOLE.
Prof. Penny's Practice Box stirs uE
the Mayor and Colonel Hughes.

A box having the dimensions of six
feet high by seven feet one inch and
six feet five inches wide was placed
about the console of the pipe organ in
the Auditorium yesterday and brought
down upon itself unwittingly the
withering wrath of Mayor Bergund-
thai and Councilman Hughes.
When the true explanation is forth
coming, however. the wrath which
was raised will die away.
The box is not placed there for the
protection of the console and will be
removed whenever any attractions are
scheduled for the Auditorium. The
box is merely a practice box" put
together with hooks and designed by
Prof Penny to be used only during
organ practice. The idea conceived in
it's erection was that in a number of
instances the Auditorium would be too
cold for practice but with the box in
place and of sufficient size to cover the
organ seat as well as the console a
small oil stove could be placed within
the interior, sufficient warmth afford
ed, and practice carried on without
any degree Of physical discomfort.
Mayor Bergundthal and Colonel
Hughes were about in the Auditorium
yesterday afternoon when the work
men were placing the box in position
and thought that the box was per-
manent sort of structure designed to
protect the console when not in use.

Too Much Confidence

'I had been among Cinnamon for
fifteen years before I ever succeeded
in getting the confidence of one" said
the Judge from Nevada
among the heather in my locality
was a fellow named Hop Lee, and OF
all the poker players L ever met he
was the most mperturbable. 1t was
absolutely impossible to read his face,
and any opponent who hadn't at least
threes would lay down to his bluffs.
81 finally made the acquaintance of
a Ckinaman named Lung Sing, and
after doing everything for a year to
win his confidence he told me how to
size up Hop Lee. He said that when
Hop had a poor hand he always softly
hummed to himself, and after a few
games 1 verified this statement. Then
three or four of us set out to raise
the Celestial out Of his boots.
I'VE got up q big game and got
him in, and when the biggest Jackpot
of the year was on the table we
watched out for his humming. He
hummed. We took it that he had a
pair and went in to do him up, but he
held fours, and the way he did cripple
US was awful to see. I have never
had a doubt that Lung Sing stood in
with him, and from that day on I
never wanted to get brotherly with
a John Chinaman. It costs too much"

MAY CUT MILES PAY.
House Adopts Amendment Which Az
fects Him Adversely.

Washington. jan 12.--The appointment
of Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles as
adjutant general of the state of Massa-
chusetts overshadowed all other ques-
tions in the discussion of the army ap-
preparation bills in the house. The de-
bate had proceeded leisurely until Mr..
Hull, in charge of the bill, offered an
amendment providing that retired Off
GERS above the grade of major should not
receive the full pay of their grade when
assigned to duty with the militia of the
several states. Several members de-
clared that the amendment was directed
especially at Gen. Miles. But Mr.. Huh
insisted that he had such thought in
mind and argued that the best results
were obtained from officers of the lower
grades. He asserted that not until the
law was passed allowing increased pay
for officers assigned to the militia did re-
tired officers of the highest grades apply
for the appointments. He said it was
such increased pay and not patriotism
which prompted them, and he character
lied their conduct unseemly This
statement reused Mr.. Cochran of New
York, who declared that it was simply
penalizing superior officers to the ad-
vantage and profit of inferior officers.
After a lively debate the amendment
was adopted.

Peck, F. D. Smith, Samuel Porter,
Young and Hayden assembled they
had thirty-seven places to fill. For
some of the positions there were sew
eral applicants, but for the clerical
positions which require some ability

were no applicants, and the commit

LONG HELPS INQUIRE.
Kansas Senator Secures Amendment
to Statehood Bill.

washington, Jan. 12.-An the pro-
visions of the proposed statehood bill
in which Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory are vitality concerned were con-
sidered by the senate in committee of
the whole. That most important Of
all provisions, the one relating to the
disposition of the school lands, was
again amended in committee and
adopted. The preference right of
the school lessees, stricken out by the
committee on territories, was re-
stored by the full committee of the
senate. With it went a radical change
also in the matter of appraising the
improvements of school lessees.
The amendment was presented by
Senator Long of Kansas. It provides
for separate appraisement of the i'm
provements by disinterested persons
and the separation of the lands and
improvements. Delegate Mcclure is
elated at the restoration OF the pre-
ference right clauses. lie had urged
