OKLAHOMA MAN HELD UP
YESTERDAY.
Old CONFIDENCE GAME
Victim Would Not Tell His Name and
bad No Desire to Prosecute
Thieves.

Officer Reynolds was called yester-
day morning to the Katy depot TO
hear the story Of an msophisticated
Oklahoma man who had just lost his
"ad to confidence crooks.
The victim Of a very easy trick was
passing through this city on his way
To North Carolina, and while awaiting
his train carelessly displayed his
wealth, S60.
He was approached by two suane-
ers, enc Of whom shortly afterwards
left and went west on the track. The
other was going to Carolina and was
very confidential. After while the
latter invited the stranger to 90 with
him to see an oil well of his just two
blocks west of the depot, The Rube "
was willing, bat on the way they met
the other stranger who was forced to
pay a bill Of 500 Just then and did not
have the change. His friend was will
ing to accommodate him but had nothing
but bill of large denomination. The
Oklahoma man was willing to make
the change and produced his wad.
He was slow in counting. and the man
in debt offered to count it for him,
and in second had the $50 in his
land. With the remark, "there is
no change coming" the two walked
off, leaving the traveller gazing after
them.
When Reynolds heard the story he
asked if the men could be identified,
and was told they could. He suggest
ed that the victim 60 with the police
to the carnival last night and in the
crowd they might possibly be pointed
out. This the gentleman from Okla
homa demurred to, apparently not lik-
ing any more publicity. He would
not give his name, so here the mat
ter rests.

CITY TO BORROW $4,000.
Warrant Ordered Issued to Be Sold
for Current Expenses.

AZ special meeting of the city
council last night, resolution was
adopted authorizing the recorder to
issue a warrant for $1,000, bearing s
per cent interest, payable January l.,
1907. The warrant is to be sold and
the proceeds devoted to meeting cur
rent expense from the date of the
issuance of the warrant until January
l, 1907. This action was taken for the
purpose of allowing warrants for ex-
penses to be paid at their face value.
The council, in an effort to arrive at
some means for the betterment of the
sanitary conditions of the city, con-
sidered an ordinance providing for
the establishment of board of health
and its duties and limitations. This
was placed on its first reading and
passed. The proposed ordinance, as
read, being in such shape as to require
a number of amendments and revi-
sions, further action on the ordln-
ance was deferred until later meet
ing.

CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY IN
RUSSIA PRACTICALLY WON.
CONCESSIONS BY CAR
Nicholas Is Determined to Avoid a
Breach-Will Replace Goremy-
kin Ministry.

ST. Petersburg, May 16.-In spite
Of the fear that the address in reply
to the speech from the throne moved
today in the lower house of parlia-
ment, would precipitate an immedi-
ate conflict between the crown and
parliament, the Associated Press is
in position TO state that Emperor
Nicholas is determined to avoid
breach if possible. Not only will par
tial amnesty be granted, but the en-
peror will replace the Goremykin min
istry with cabinet chosen from am
ong the conservative members of the
lower house in the hope of effecting
compromise. He is not willing, how
ever, to permit majority TO select
the premier. but once such concession
is made, it is difficult to understand
how the emperor can halt half way
and refuse full constitutional mon
rchy which government by parliament
tary majority involves. Practically,
the parliament already has won a
great victory.

Springfield, Illinois, May l6.-
After a sensational speech by Lieu

session of the Illinois legislature,
which was called by Governor Deneen
to enact a new primary election law,
resulted today in the adoption of the
bill. The measure had close call.
1t is expected that Deneen will sign
the bill making it law on July l.
The passage of the bill is considered
victory for Deneen Sherman S
speech was made after he had announ-
ced the vote in the senate. He de-
nouneed the bill as Illuminating fail

"There is not one line you may
point to and say that it gives the peo-
pie the right to say whom they shall
nominate. II puts premium on ger
rymandering and future deadlocks IN

painful motion without one inch OF
progress. Ii seems TO me that 1t was
