STATEHOOD
CONFERENCE
THE COMMITTEE OF BOTH THE
HOUSES
MEET THURSDAY
Senators Who Have Pledged Support
to the Foraker Amendment Are
Tenacious.

Washington, Apr. Ex-senator Bev-
eridge and Representative Brick of In
diana have returned from the Repub-
lican convention of the state and ar
rangements are made for another CON
ference on the statehood bill. Senator
Newlands of Nevada has been named
in place of Senator Patterson who at
tended the first conferences, so that
all conferees are now in Washington.
1t is expected that the next meeting
will be on next Thursday. There is
less hope of an agreement now than
when the bill was first in confer
tnce.
Inquiry among senators who sup
ported the Foraker amendment has de-
yeloped the fact that they are rather
tenacious for the last amendment and
insist on a separate vote. The house
conferees seem more disposed to stand
for the original bill than before. which
would mean no agreement.

CITY RECORDERS COURT.

Broken heads and bloody faces
were strongly in evidence in the police
court this morning. Bug juice, peruna
or some other ardent spirit not per-
mtted in the Indian Territory, was
the cause of most of the disfigure-
ments. and a policeman club vigor-
ously used finished the business.
Officer Michaels, in trying to get
three men to safe keeping in the city
bastile. found that he had his hands
full, and to prevent a getaway, used
his baton with considerable effect.
The arrested men had resisted the of

got 50 and costs.
Officer Reynolds had two more be-

disturbing the peace, and in each
case the s. and trimmings were ad-
judged.

TO RELIEVE
THE SUFFERING
PREPARING TO RAISE MONEY
FOR SAN FRANCISCO
A COMMITTEE AT WORK
Plans Being Formed Whereby Every
One in Tulsa Can Contribute
His and Her Mite.

That Tulsa will do her share to-
wards relieving the frightful suffer
Ing and distress in the stricken city
of San Francisco is as certain as
that the sun will rise tomorrow. The
Sympathies Of the people of Tulsa
are with the homeless and helpless,
the injured and dying in that once
fair, but now ruined city, and they
can be depended upon to do all with
III their power III the matter of re-
lief.
Al the Commercial Club last
night NJ. B. Baird introduced a mo
ton that three committees be APP
pointed: One to confer with the
clergymen Of the city, second to
confer with the members of the diff
terent ladies' clubs in the city, and
the third to make arrangements for
the securing of the Grand opera
house for one night soon. The
clergymen will be asked to preach
sermons appropriate to the occasion
and take up collections in their con-
gregations; the ladies will be asked
to unite in giving dinners, suppers
or other form of entertainment they
deem wise, and the Grand will be
the scene of some kind of entertain
mcnt to which all will come-the
proceeds from all to 90 to the same
worthy object.
The intention is to give every one
in Tulsa chance to contribute ac-
cording to his and her ability. What
they feel able to give will be wei
come in the Sunday collections what
a dinner or supper will cost would
cost the same any time anywhere,
and if the show at the Grand is
even fair in quality nobody will OBJ
ject to pay 25c or soc, especially
when he knows his money goes TO
San Francisco.
1t would be superhuous to say
anything about the Righteousness of
the cause for everyone's heart is
sore and sad for the unfortunates
in San Francisco. Every succeeding
calamity in this country has more
and more developed the noble, gen
erous qualities of the American peo-
pie. Tulsa will do her duty.
The committees will be appointed
today and not a minute should be
lost in the formulation of plans
the citizens will do the rest.
