derstanding.

. E. j. H. b 81 F.. T..
u There were things doing in Judge
McLaughlin's court this morning. A
seemingly unimportant civil action
resulted in a fine and threat of COM
mitment. The case was that of f. L.
COrliss ys. j. II. Lamb and involved
the interest on an cccount. D. T. Col
Inns represented the plaintiff and s.
G. Skulason the defendant. The at
torney for the plaintiff took the stand
and testified that the defendant had
agreed to pay interest on the account
This had been previously denied by
Mr.. Corliss and Attorney Skulason
asked the witness how he reconciled
the two statements. He refused to re-
ply and the court threatened to fine
him for contempt, holding that when
he took the stand as q witness he had
no right to object as an attorney. The
question was answered by the state
ment that he did not try to reconcile
them. ~ &@
Attorney Skulason demanded di-
rect answer of yes or no. Then trou-
BILE began in earnest. Mr.. Collins re-
fused to answer and Judge Nc
Laughlin gave him minute to decide
to do so or be fined The minute ex-
pired and the Judge pronounced fine
of ten dollars. Mr.. Collins refused to
find the ten and Judge Mclaughlin
began to fill out a commitment blank.
But after. much disputation the fine
was RENTED and the case proceeded,
not, however, until the refractory at
torney had offered to pay the fine.

KNOCKING For
Hdmlttance

~ HE question Of admitting new
members to the American sis
terhood Of states is always an
interesting one. but 1t has pc
euliar interest in the case now before
the attention Of congress. Four differ
ent territories are under consideration
In this connection. They are Arizona,
New Mexico. Indian Territory and Ok
lahoma, and each has a history full of
stirring and romantic incidents. The
history Of the two southernmost terri
tories is linked withtthat of old Mexico,
and proud and warlike dons and zeal
Gus priests and friars figure in the
early annals. The Indian Territory has
witnessed the progress of the red man
upward from a primitive state to one
Of comparative civilization and enlight-
eminent. The name Oklahoma brings
to mind the remarkable scenes which
ensued when tue broad lands which
comprise that territory were opened up
Tor settlement and populous towns
sprang up in night where before had
been but the tenantless prairie.
It would be possible to make four
states out Of the four territories, but
that Is not likely to happen. In dis
cussing the question in his recent mes.
sage President Roosevelt said:
II recommend that Indian Territory
and Oklahoma be admitted as one
state and that New Mexico and Ari-
coma be admitted as one state. Moth
ing has taken up more time in the con-
gress during the past few years than
the question as to the statehood to be
granted to the four territories above
mentioned, and after careful considera-
ton Of all that has been developed in
the discussion of the question rec
ommend that they be Immediately ad.
mitted as two states."
The statehood fight is a somewhat
complicated one. into which racial
prejudices, politics and various other
considerations enter. Many of the peo-
pie Of Arizona, especially those living
In the northern part Of the territory,
are opposed to the proposition Of ad-
mission with New Mexico on the
ground that they would be dominated
in all things by the people of that ter
ritory. with whom, they say, they have
little in common. In northern Arizona
there is population made up largely
Of immigrants from the northern and
middle states. while New Mexico is

An earnest that President Hill
of the Great Northern is heartily in
sympathy with religious educational
movements and that he approves of
the plan for the removal of the Red

was manifested last evening when he
authorized President Robertson of
this city to announce to the trustees
of the institution that he would per-
sonally contribute the sum Of $4,000
as an addition to the fund being rails
ed for the college here.
DR.. Robertson had a private inter-
view with Mr.. Hill In his car at s
o'clock and as result was enabled to
make the happy announcement of his
liberality to the small party of prom

chat and exchange of ideas on i'm
portant subjects.
1t was the purpose of this meeting
to have Mr.. Hill present and among
them were the following gentlemen to

nate: Senator Cashel, president of
the drainage league, and Messrs. Ell

department at Washington, Ralph of
Crookston and Costello of the Great
Northern.
Mr.. Hill was, unable to be present
but In his interview with Dr. Robert

movement, and stated that In addition
to his contribution of $4,000 he stood
ready to add more IL 1t was necessary,

In Indian Territory there are great

and no small educational acquire

out Of existence on the 18th Of March
next, tribal officials will 60 out Of pow

conditions make an early decision as to
statehood desirable. 1t is urged that
no territory ever came to congress
with better claims to statehood than
Oklahoma. The territory has not only
population, but wealth, commerce, in
dustry and high degree Of civiliza-
tion. The ratio Of illiteracy is said to
be less In the newly settled Oklahoma
than in that headquarters Of culture

wealth per capita is larger in Oklaho-

are many red men In Oklahoma, the
proportion Of Indians to whites is not
By any means SO large as in Indian
