WAR ON HIGGINS
oDELL SAYS GOVERNOR WOULD
LEAD PARTY TO DEFEAT
THIS FALL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Mr. odell
nut aside all pretence concerning the
attitude he will take toward Gov. Hig-
gins and bluntly and emphaticaliy let
.it be known that he will fight any
movement for the denomination of the
governor.
There is nothing new, of course, in
the fact that Mr.. odell is, and has
been for months past. prepared to
fight any aspirations on the part of
Mr.. Higgins for denomination, but
it's was not expected that Mr.. odell
would at this time practically an
nounce his antagonism to the govern
or.
MI. odeu went so far last night as
to insist that the Republican party
could not afford to stand for Higgins
again this year. because his renomin-
alton would mean such waste of
votes as would necessarily mean the
defeat of the Republican ticket next
November. He further said that he
regarded Mr.. Higgins as weak man,
and added:
"Thls is not time when we can
afford to take any chances or to waste
any votes. The Republican party this
year, IL it is to win, must get out ev-
cry possible vote, and it is my opin'
ion that Gov. Higgins cannot get that
vote, I want you to understand that
l am not influenced in saying that by
any personal animosity toward Gov
Higgins"
Replying to a question as to why
he thought Gov. Higgins could not OBJ
tain the full Republican vote, Mr.
odell said: Because Mr.. Higgins
would be the candidate of faction
and not of the whole party"

Tracy TO
GET Land IN
OKLAHOMA
HITCHCOCK CLAIMS TO HAVE
SAVED STATE s2,oooooo-DE-
FEATED AMENDMENT
TO BILL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1G. = In. a
carefully prepared statement given
out from the Interior Department,
credit is given Secretary Hitchcock
and his official advisers of having
saved the state of Oklahoma school
lands containing oil and other miner
ais which are estimated 70 be worth
between $1,OOO,OOO and 100000"
This was accomplished, it is claim
ed, by the Secretary in securing the
defeat of the amendment proposed by
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, relating
to mineral leases, which, according to
the view of the secretary of the In
terror, was being urged upon Congress
by attorneys representing an organ
lied band of land speculators,"
The statement makes the claim
that Secretary Hitchcock discovered
early in March that an amendment had
been slipped into the Statehood bill
in the Senate (known as The Warren
amendment), and that the Secretary,
on looking into the matter. reached
the conclusion that the claims OF the
parties who would benefit by the
amendment were entirely without mer-
1t, and that the whole scheme bore
some resemblance to raid upon the
Treasury"
A detailed recital is given of the
secretary's persistent effort to defeat
the Warren amendment. He submit
ted confidential brief to the confer
ence committee on the Statehood bill
stating, "Thnt the alleged mineral
claims of the parties were void; that
the parties knew that they were void :;
that their fnvaIidity was not due to
any mere technical defect, but to the
fact that the claims were set up In
violation OF express enactments of
Congress, and that the only reason for
making the claims was that the par
ties had laid plans for slipping into
the Statehood bill a measure like the
Warren amendment"
Concluding, the official statement
says: when the people Of Oklahoma
were celebrating the passage OF a
Statehood bill, it is probable that they
did not know how near the new Com.
monweaIth came to losing some of its
/ most valuable possessions, besides
having been made the victim of un.

BIG TEXAS COTTON CROP.
Much Complicated by Car
Shortage.

Galveston, oct. 12.-Though the
recent rains slightly effected the cot
ton crop in this state, it is estimated
by experts that the output will exceed
what was expected. In Mexico pick
ers are in great demand at prices
ranging from 65 certs to 81 per 100
pounds. In the Herne section the
gins are kept very busy, though a good
deal of trouble is caused from the
want of pickers. In Kieleen the yield
will be above the average, though
pickers are scarce. In Oakwood the
crop is double what 1t was expected
to be, and merchants doing big bus
iness. In Waller, cotton is Going in
rapidly and the town is brisk with
farmers laying in their winter supply
All the railway systems in Texas
are suffering from a car famine, and
the worst feature of the shortage is
the fact that the business has not yet
reached its height.

KILLED ON A BAD GRADE.
Dead Man in Okanogan Said to BE
From Union.

Oroville, Wash, Oct. 12.-Milt Ar
cher, a pioneer resident of Okanogan
county, was killed Saturday, between
here and Nighthawk. Few details
are obtainable, but it is known that
1t was caused from breakage in the
harness or wagon on a steep hill along
the road. Part way down something
gave way and the team started to run.
The outfit piled up in the road, and
when his companions reached him
Archer was dead, the wagon wheel
having passed over his head.
Persons who have known Archer
longest say he came from Union, Ore,
and that he has relatives living there.
Efforts are being made to commune
cate with them, and in the meantime
the body was buried here.
