URGES SEPARATE ACTION
Globe Democrat Wants Territories Freed
from Western Alliance

The Globe Democrat says:
The National Editorial Associ-
alton, at its meeting al Guthrie,
voiced the sentiment Of majority
of the people in urging the admis-
sion of Oklahoma and the Indian
T rritory as single state. Con-
gresham Mcclure Of Oklahoma
presented the resolutions on state
hood, and the convention adopted
it unanimously, as was proper. AS
the association represents news
papers from all parts Of the country
this action ought to have some eff
feet on congress Undoubtedly it
will have a good effect.
One clause of the resolution
should receive special attention.
That was the one which demanded
joint statehood for these two terri
tories Immediately, without being
hampered by tangling alliances. "
All the friends of statehood for OK
lahoma and the Indian Territory
should insist on having this matter
dealt with independently of the
other territories. Heretofore the
advocates of Arizona and New
Mexico statehood have tied their
project to the Oklahoma andIndian
Territory admission movement.
They insist that the two latter ter
ritories should not be admitted un-
less statehood were granted to Ari-
zona and New Mexico. This was
unfair to Oklahoma and its neigh
Dor. There is no objection to their
admission jointly, but there IS a
powerful opposition in the East
and South and likewise in some
parts of the West. to the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico as
separate states. There is in some
quarters opposition Of pretty de-
termined kind to the admission Of
those two territories consolidated
into a single state.
At the coming session of con-
gress these admission projects must
be dealt with in separate bills. Ok
lahoma and the Indian Territory
must be provided for in an indie
pendent measure. If it is kept
from all rntangling alliances with
the other territories the Oklahoma
bill can quickly be passed. An at
tempt ought to be made 20 pass it
before the holiday recess. On
March the 4, 1906, the Indians
tribal relations in the Indian Terri
tory cease, and at that time that
community will be ready to sustain
its part of the responsibilities of
joint statehood. Just as soon as
possible after March 4 next Okla
homa and its neighbor should place
the forty-sixth star on the flag.

INTERESTING THE PRESIDENT
In the Cause Of Statehood. Strong
Pressure Brought to Bear

~ w dSllnB Ion SpeCldl icduo'
Hope is expressed that a def
mite program framed recently
by the friends and leading men
Of Ind. Ter. agd the leading men
of Okla. for the separate consid-
Grafton of the statehood propo
sition for Okla. and Ind. Ter, will
meet with the approval and secure
the cooperation of the president
In the past few days some strong
representations have deem made
TO the president. The effort, while
not openly in this direction, isex-
pected and hoped to have the ef-
feet of inducing the president to
take up the proposition in his
next message to congress. 1t is
the desire not only OF the leading
men of Okla. and Ind. Ter. that
they not BE held back from the
benefits of statehood because of
the disposition towards New Mex
leo and Arizona, but information
has c,ime to Washington that or
ganizations Of reputable citizens
and land owners have been form
ed in Arizona with the same end
in view.
One of those who recently talk
ed with President Roosevelt in
this connection was Rep. Charles
Curtis of Kansas. Mr.. Curtis
name has been associated with
most of the legislation which has
been for the benefit Of the In
dians in the Southwest, and he is
known to be the sincere friend o1
Southwestern country. With Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory un-
tied in propaganda for the uuior
of the two into single statehood,
and in oppos tion to the merits
of their case being involved by
the case Of New Mexico and Ari
zona, it is believed that some sort
of action can be forced from con
gress at next session.
In addition to the work which
is being donehere tits understood
that the strongest sort of pr s.
sure has been brought to beal
upon Speaker Cannon. 1t is real
lied that his personal opposition
and his uncompromising attitude
against an action which would
bring in the states in the manner
suggested at the last session of
congress, had most to do with tht
failure of that legislation. A
strong showing is to be made
when congress meets in the fall
as to the natural resources of the
two territories and of then
fitness for statehood. The unfair
ness of keeping these two terri
tories out of the sisterhood of
states because of the troubles
and objections of the other two
territories, will be put forward in
its strongest light. Now efforts
are being made to secure the co
operation Of Pres. Roosevelt and
it is believed, with some promise
of success.

He SLIPS OUT AGAIN
Foxy John McNichols Fails to
Come to Wisconsin Friday
as Was Expected
TO SPEND XMAS WITH HOCH

1 John McNicho1s, the slippery, with
the aid of Bob Cantwell, the foxy,
8ipped out of the rap of the Kenosha
county officials again on Friday and
he was not brought to Kenosha as ex-
pected. McNicho1s decided that he
would prefer to eat Christmas dinner
with more distinguished company
in the Cook county jail and with the
aid of the Chicago officials he Sc
cured his desire.
When the Kenosha officials rea ched
Chicago on Friday afternoon with
the intent of bringing McNicho1s
back they found that the attorney for
McNicho1s had not been idle, but he
had gone to the police officers of Chi
cago and urged that he be given until
Tuesday to present the case of Nc
Nichols to the United States courts
in new form. Cantwe11 argued that
he had discovered evidence which the
United States court could not turn
down, and that the rights of his client
would be prejudiced if he was allowed
to be taken to Kenosha.
On these representations the police
of Chicago asked that the man be left
in the Cook county jail, and the Keno
sha officials had nothing else to do
with the case. McNichols is given
until Tuesday to secure the re-hear-
ing of the case in the federal court,
and District Attorney Baker has
classed the work of Cantwe1l as chi1d's
play. The Kenosha attorney insists
that there is absolutely no chance of
the federal courts granting a stay for
McNichols and that Cantwel1 is aware
of this fact, but took this action
simply to hold McNichols in Chicago
until the last minute.
| Should the Chicago attorneys try
any other lodges the district attor-
ney will ask the governor of Illinois
to direct that McNichols be turned
over to the Wisconsin officials at once.

TRAITORS" OUSTED
State Organization Of Indepen.
dent Telephone Co., Bars All
AIIying With Wisconsin
WISCONSIN is IN CONTROL

AT the annual meeting of the Inde-
pendent Telephone companies Of the
state held in Milwaukee on Friday,
vigorous action was taken to Gust all
of the companies in the state who had
formed an alliance with the Wiscon-
Isin Telephone company and this
action will of course include the
ECitizens company of this city and in
bfact every line of independent phones
Iin the county. The Kenosha company
was one of the foremost companies in
the state organization and the fact
thatslt has allied itself with the Wis
consin in a measure dictated the
kactionsof the convention.
It had been known that the Wiscon-
sin company and independent COM
panies had been fighting each other
for years, but President Valentine of
GAINESVILLE, and other members Of the
association, when it was made known
of the progress of the Wisconsin
people, stood aghast at the conditions
that confronted the independents,
gandNpby resolution they ousted all
those companies that had made con-
Meeting contract with the Wisconsin
Telephone. company, from the associa-
ton. The TRAITORS" as the loyal
members termed those who affiliated
with the Bell concern, were, tits said,
refused admission to the meeting.
Before the convention adjourned a
movement was started to enforce the
law passed by the last legislature,
compelling all telephone companies
to charge the same rates inscities of
the same size. Ar attorney will be
engaged from funds to be subscribed
by the independents to enforce the
law, which the independent companies
claims others are evading.
TO test the law suit may be com
menced in one of the cities where the
alliance has been made and carried
up to the supreme court for decision
The Wisconsin Telephone company
people claim that they have been
simply extending their business and
that they thereby made contracts
with 225 independent companies out
SIDE of Milwaukee, GAINESVILLE, Ra.
cine, Madison and a few other cities,
where such contracts would not be
advantageous to the company or it's
patrons.
The officer further said that the
company ran its lines into the ex-
changes of the independent com
panies and their subscribers now
have all the advantages of the net
work of wires through the state. The
aim is to cover the whole state and
give the best service.

FELL OFF THE WAGON

John King Former Ball Player, Has
Unique Excuse That Wins CIemency
John King, the former great base
ball player, who is now employed on
the railway work west of the city, fell
off the water wagon Friday night and
landed in the county jail, but his ex-
cuse for his actions was sufficiently
unique to win for him a suspended
sentence in order that he might not
spend Christmas in the county jail.
King claimed In court that he came
to Kenosha on Friday afternoon and
that he went to the depot to assist
fireman in putting water in the tank
of the engine. He climbed up on
water tank and it was so icy that he
slipped and fell, bruising his face.
The officer told a different story,
but when King promised to pay his
fine the officer told him he would take
his word for it, and the old base ball
player went OFT with a Christmas
smile as broad as the law allowed.

V0RSOLD MEMBERS.
New York Supreme Court De.
cides Arcanum Rates May
Not be Raised
APPEAL TO A HIGHER COURT

Older members of the Royal
Arcanum IN Kenosha have heard with
rejoicing that the supreme court of
the State of New York has decided
that the recent action of the supreme
council of the order in raising the
rates for insurance was illegal. The
opinion of the court sholds that the
Royal Arcanum has no right to make
any change in the rates paid by
member at the time he was admitted
to the order. The opinion further
holds that the amendments complained
of are void because of the fact that it
would mean change in the contracts
between the order and the members
The hearing of the action was
brought about by suit brought by
New York member of the order who
declined to pay the increased rate for
his insurance. In the hearing of the
case the supreme officers of the order
were called as witnesses and the court
reviewed the entire actionl of the
supreme council.
Supreme Regent Howard C. Wig
gins of Rome, New York, has sent out
a statement hat the case will be i'm
mediately appealed to the supreme
court
If the higher court sustains the de-
cision of the New York court, the
order will have to return toathe rates
in force before the action of .ne
supreme council.
This would mean much to the older
members of the order as they would
than be able to carry their insurance
at the former lower rate.
The action in court showed that the
Arcanum now had more than $685.
O0O,0 900 of insurance in force. Leaders
IN the order have declared that the
order can not be sustained without
the raise in the rates.

Montgomery Lumber Co., Gets an
Injunction in Fight for Land
on Elizabeth Street
JUDGE SLOSSON ISSUES WRIT
Chicago & Milwaukee Railway Conn
pany is Enjoined From Entering
Contested Land and the Company
Claims Damages of $500

There isFa new development in the
fight between the Montgomery
Lumber company and the Chicago &
Milwaukee Railway company in re-
gard to the strip of land sought by
the company as site for depot and
yards which is located on Elizabeth
street. On Friday afternoon there
was filed with the clerk of the circuit
court writ of injunction enjoining
the railway company from making
any efforts to enter the land or to
take any part of it.
The injunction was issued by Judge
S1osson of the county court and while
it must be approved by the circuit
court before it can be made per-
manent the railway company has
made no effort to have it set aside and
it will prevent the company from TAX
ing possession of the land until some
further order of the court is made.
In the complaint filed with the in
junction the facts in regard to the
contest for the land are stated and
the Lumber company officials state
that they are planning to take i'm
mediate possession of the property
and that it is needed for them for the
continuance Of their business. In the
petition for the injunction the officials
of the Lumber company stated that
they have made diligent search to
secure other property which would
answer their purpose in-order not to
interfere with the proposed plans of
che railway company, but that they
have not been able to find such land
within the city limits.
The complaint states that the rail
way company had invaded the land,
and that this invasion had damaged
the property to the amount of $500.
Besides the injunction the officials of
the lumber company demand damag es
to this amount.
The fling of the injunction will
probably result in the action started
in the Justice court, which was SEIZED
uled to come up on January 8, being
dismissed, as it is thought that the
action in the higher court will fully
cover the ground. It is possible that
the railway company will seek to get
a settlement out Of court, and if this is
found to be impossible the company
may begin the work of conden1ning
the land in order to secure it for rail
way uses.
