the STATEHOOD DEADLOCK

friends. He was assured that such
was not the case and the interview
terminated without disclosing more
than radical differences as to the bills
which are now the chief topic of con.
versation about the house.
Members of the insurgent faction
now maintain that sixty-three Repub-
licans are positively pledged to vote
against tie proposed ruling prevent
ing the amendment of the Hamilton
statehood bill. The insurgents insist
that their forces are gaining strength
at rapid rate.
Under present conditions the con-
sideration Of the Hamilton bill is said
to be out of the question. The adj
ministration is still firm in insisting
on the passage of the joint statehood
bill without modification. Compro-
mise measures are no longer Under
consideration by the insurgents and
statehood legislation seems at dead
lock at present.

tive Curtis of Kansas escorted Crazy

citrant Creeks who oppose the new

mitted to continue life under prior

ways OF their fathers.
The president told Crazy Snake
that there could be no deviation from
the provisions of the treaty Of 1903,
which had been voted on by $4,000

self to the change in conditions of af-
fairs that had made American citizens

Washington, Jan. 16-Speaker Can
non and Representative Babcock OF
Wisconsin, the latter the leader OF
the insurgent forces in the house, had
an interesting meeting in the speak
ers room. AS the result Of Mr.. Bah
cooke visit several interesting stories
were in circulation. some of a sensa-
tional character which would indicate
a serious breach between the two gem
tlemen. That they differ in their
views upon the Phili0nine tariff bill
and the statehood bill has long been
evident and 1t was in regard to this
that the meeting occurred today.
Mr.. Babcock took exception to an
article appearing in the newspapers.
and preferred a request he be recog-
nized on a matter of personal privil-
eye in the house to deny it. The con-
versation revealed the fact that Bah
cock was under the impression that

been instigated by the speakers

KANSAS INSPECTION LAW.

Topeka, Jan Is. Radford. state
grain inspector, announced that Judge
Pollock. of the United States court,
has refused to grant the injunction
asked for by the Kansas City grain
buyers and elevator men, which would
have had the effect of putting the
Kansas grain inspection department
out of business, and throwing the
Kansas grain men upon the mercy Of
the elevators.
This means" says Mr.. Radford,
that we can continue to inspect grain
and collect the usual state fees until
the case Is finally settled"
The report Of Mr.. Radford, filed
with the state auditor, shows that his
deputies collected and turned over to
the state In fees for December the
sum Of $4,700.

Cut OFF FROM the WORLD;
ENTIRE Crew MAY Be LOST

Atlantic City, N. j., Jan. 1G.-The
sixty persons who comprise the pas
sengers and crew Of the big Clyde
line steamer Cherokee. which went
ashore in Brigantine shoals, are COM
pletely cut off from the outside world.
Rumors were in circulation here
to the effect that the crew of the
Brighantine life saving station had
been lost while attempting to reach
shore from the Cherokee and that the
two tugs which had been pulling on
the Cherokee for "a hours had be-
come separated from the steamer ow-
ing to the parting of their hawsers.
These reports caused the greatest ex-
element and crowds swarmed to the
inlet, eager to learn of the fate of the
life savers and also of the steamer.
Communication with the Cherokee
dispelled the fears of the friends of

the life savers when it was learned
that the men were safe on board the
stranded vessel During the night
their surf boat broke from its moor
ings and came ashore. That the tugs
are still lying close to the steamer
is made apparent by the proximity Of
their lights.
Early 1t was thought that the ves-
sci would be floated at high tide.
The wrecking tugs had succeeded
during the night in moving the steam
err about fifty feet toward deep water
but had to desist owing. to the high
wind. Old captains who are familiar
with the coast hereabouts say there
is no danger of the Cherokee going
to pieces so long as her bow can be
kept In the soft bed of sand. The
only danger, they say, would be in
the waves striking the vessel broad

Frank Frantz was inaugurated as the
seventh governor of Oklahoma under
circumstances which were in every
way suspicious. Contrary to expecta-

succeed William Grimes as secretary
of Oklahoma did not take office,
and will probably not do so for about
two weeks, as it will take that long
to arrange his bond, and other pre-

Gov. Ferguson called all of the ter

brief farewell. He was also kept
busy during almost the entire morn
ing receiving delegations from the
various Oklahoma cities who were

Frugal Cabinet Ministers.

1t is thought probable that three
members Of the present cabinet live
within their salaries-Attorney Gen
eral Moody, Secretary Wilson and
Postmaster General Cortelyou. Such
men as Taft. Root and Bonaparte be-
ing heads of departments that bring
them into contact with representa-.
tives of powerful individuals, find It
necessary to spend great deal more
than the government pays them.
Secretary Taft is credited with the
declaration that it costs more than
double his salary to live.
