AGREE ON STATEHOOD
Conferees Are Ready to Make Report
to Both Houses June 1.

Washington, June 1.=Once again
the statehood conferees have announc-
ed that they have agreed on report
and are ready to submit 1t to Congress.
The indications are that this time a
report Will be made to both houses.
As agreed upon, the conference report
does not differ in any material respect
from that announced several days ago.
except in regard to the capital provis-
| ion. The capital, if the report in its
present form is accepted, viii remain.
in Guthrie until 1915.
The positive understanding reported
today was that the report would be
submitted not later than Saturday. 1t
Is possible. however, that there may
be another delay. Senator Aldrich,
who has been working on Senator
Foraker in an effort to induce him to
accept the conference report, called to
see Senator Beveridge to urge him to
delay it in the hope that Foraker
might be brought around.
Unless there is a change in the senate
conditions, that organization will refuse
to yield the contention in regard to
New Mexico and Arizona. Senator
Foraker sent word to the speaker that
unless the last proposition submitted
by him was accepted he would return
to his original stand for the Burrows
amendment, which entirely eliminates
New Mexico and Arizona from eonsid-
Grafton and simply admits Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. Senator Foraker
alleged that he had so votes in the
senate to put the Oklahoma bill on
the sundry civil bill as a rider. He
said he would not tolerate any further
delays. At this very time John Sharp
Williams, the minority leader. had the
house tied up with roll calls in his
filibustering tactics and legislation was
impossible.
williams was immovable and again
declared that no legislation of any
character could go through the house
by unanimous consent until there was
report of some kind on statehood.
He repeated his assertion that he
would demand a roll cali on every
measure until the house got a chance
to act on statehood. The insurgents
were also making trouble and Senator
Aldrich was running about insisting
that it was necessary for congress to
enact some legislation in order that it
might go before the people with a rec
ord of things accomplished Such I'M
usual pressure, some of it after the
method of the big stick and part of it
the pleading of western congressme en-
that they had placed their political
lives in the speakers hands and must
return to their people with results,
forced Cannon to action.

OWLS wAYLAY POLICEMAN.
He Beats Them on With Club After
Some Loss of Blood.

New York. June Along the dark
path through the woods from the old
LoriIlard mansion walked Policeman
Walter Kane last night. thinking of
the ferocious puma that once escaped
from the Geological Garden in the
Bronx, and hoping that his tour of pa
troll would be free from danger.
A dark object was hurled against his
head out Of the blackness of the night,
and his helmet fell to the ground. AS
he stopped to grope for it something
sWatted him from behind. and he meas
ured his length on the ground.
With his heart near his throat and
pistol in hand the bluecOat sprang to
his feet and peered into the blackness.
Suddenly giant bird jumped for his
face. He ducked and a second bird at
tackled him from the rear.
ssThe wild owls are upon me- he NUT
tered between set teeth as he gave
battle with night stick and fists. For
ten minutes the birds and the police
man fought. Kanes uniform was torn
in a dozen places and his hands were
bleeding when he finally drove the owls
away.
The two old gray owls have haunted
the park for several years. The off,
cials of the Zoo have tried in vain to
capture them, but the owls are too
wary. Several women have reported re-
Gently that the birds have attacked
them.

Dr. Elias G. Brown the medical examiner of defec-

Another COB from the Pittsburg

causing much talk and seems to be the

present. Many who knocked on the
Champions and called the Kansas State
league ''dinky' league, have signifed
their willingness to help support club
in a league that takes in a few good
cities and is composed of players of a
higher class. Although nothing definite
has been secured about the rumOr it is
persistently stated that D. M. Shiveley,
president of the Western association

enough encouragement has been given
to the position to make it worth Presi-
