WILL DISFRANCHISE MANY.

Guthrie, Ok, Dec. IA proposed
amendment to the Taylor election bill
to be introduced by Senator Roddie
will have have the effect, If passed by
the legislature, of disfranchising many
negroes in the state and few OF the
more ignorant among the white peo-
pie.
1t provides for poll tax certificate
which must be presented in towns OF
5000 population or over, before a citi~
zen is allowed to vote. This will be
supplemented by a provision requiring
registration in rural as we'll as munich
pal communities and an educational
qualification making ability to read a
certain portion Of the constitution
necessary to the exercise of thelelecttve
franchise. The Taylor bill contains
number Of novel provisions, including
one for expert election counters to be-
gin counting the vote at ! o'clock on
election day, so that returns may be
had early on election night.

HON. cHAs. B. ROGERS,

dian Territory, it becomes one of
great and growing Importance.
Oil and asphalt, coal and gas leases
and contracts over them will drift to
the Federal courts for adjustment and
world Of important litigation over
Indian deeds and contracts will be
brought in the Federal courts as we'll
as other equity actions. Suits gen.
eraily will pass through the Master in
Chancery's hancs.
Mr.. Rogers is to be congratulated,
and he will no doubt ill the position
with credit and ability.
Mr.. Rogers came from Indiana to
Vinita five years ago and has in that
time built up lucrative law practice
here and stands high with the local
bar. Ee became identified with Re-
publican politics soon after he came
here and has taken a front rank
among the Republican leaders of che
state. His selection is a recognition
of hissparty service as well as his abil-
Ity as lawyer He made the fight
for his party as a candidate to the
Constitutional convention, and it was
due to Mr.. Rogers more than to any
one else in Vinita that we procured
a Federal court at this place in the
statehood bill.
The Federal court having headquar
ters at Muskogee, most Of the business
Of the court will go there, and It will
probably be necessary him to spend
most of his time there after a few
weeks.
Mr.. Rogers viii however maintain
his law ofice here and continue to
practice in the state courts, and will
soon take partner to look after this
business,

Mrs. LesIie-carter In "Du Barry"


 Mrs. Leslie Carter's performance of ''Du Barry was a theatrical event of great briliancy at the Jefferson theatre last night. An audience which surpassed all others of the present season. now drawing to a close, assembled to greet Americas foremost emotional actress. Ru- mors to the contrary notwithstanding, Mrs. Carter appeared in the role which made her famous and despite the fact that she was fatigued by the inconvenien- ces of a tour, she seemed never in better form. She touched every chord of hu- man feeling last night, from grave to gay and back again, here flash Of com edy and there a storm of temper, the wilfulness of q spoiled beauty and the fickle moods Of beWildering courtezan yielding 10 moments of sublime renuncia- tion and overwhelming grief, when she rose to the climax of her powers and carried the audence away by the intensity of her acting.
 It was a rare exhibition of art one that is familiar to many theatregoers, and yet 90 forceful and compelling that "Du Barry" seemed to live and move and sway the destinies of France, already on the brink of ruin Mrs. Carter made "Du Barry a creature of hundred moods and changefu as the@Wind that blows, but even when submitting to the kings em- braces she wept for the man to whom she had given her heart and through love of whom the dross of her life was puri-

relating to the hypothetical questions put to the experts for both the prosecution and the defense be read. The charge stated that the jurors were not bound to accept nor allowed to accept opinion based on hypothetical questions as they would accept facts. In hypo- thetical questions, the court declared, it is always of first importance that the facts contained in such questions have been established to the satisfaction of the jury.
 Opinions on such questions should be considered in connection with all the evil dence in the case. q believe now that this is all, gentle-
 men," said Justice Fitzgerald. One More Request.
 'No sir" interposed Foreman Smith. "there was one more request That request" said the justice, "is that certain portions of the summing up
 address by MT. Delmas shall be read to you. I cannot grant it. It is not evil
 dence, and you must remember that noth- ing but the evidence can now be given you"
 The jury then retired again and cons tinued it's deliberations. All members of the Thaw family re- mained at the court house and sent out
 for their dinner, rather than face the crowds who surged around the court house.
 At 6:46 o'clock Justice Fitzgerald an-
 nounced a recess until 9 o'clock. The
 jury at that time had shown no sings
 of reaching an agreement At 6:53 Justice Fitzgerald left the court house for dn-
 ner A few minutes later the jury started
 for the Broadway Central hotel for din-
 ner. In spite of their long confinement they looked fresh and were laughing and talking together when they left the
 building.
 When the jurors returned tonight from
 dinner one of them John s. Dennee, No. 10, carried a grip. To the waiting crowd
 this seemed an indication that the jury
 had either reached verdict or expected
 to be discharged tonight. Thaw was brought over in the Tombs
 after dinner and was visited in the prison-
 CTS pen by his mother, his wife and sis
 ters. All of the women seemed greatly
 fatigued by the long days wait for some definite news from the jury.

PROBE TO BE USED By Mississippl's Attorney General
 Among Oil Mills.

Jackson, Miss, April 11.-Since the de- cision of the supreme court in the Kosciu- sko Cotton oil Mills last Monday in which the court expressed the idea, though 1t did not pass on that point, that the mills there are in a combine and trust Attorney General Fletcher has concluded that he will go to the bottom of the matter and make sure whether or not the oil mills of the state are com bined for the purpose of fixing prices of the products of the farms of the state as well as the price of their output. This official has some damaging evidence at hand already, it is said, and with little more will be able to get close in behind the managers and owners of the enter prises that they will cancel their obliga- tions one to the other at the very first opportunity It wiz not be the first time the state of Mississippi has been after the oil mills, but on the other round the mills won out. However, prices of all mill commodities are too near the same to just happen so.

BULLETS FIRED
 INTO STREET CAR
Motorman is Struck But is
 Uninjured
THE COMPANY STANDS PAT
Discharged Employees Will Not Be Taken Back by the Traction Com pany-strikers Are Holding
 Peaceful Mass Meetings.

Montgomery, April 11.-(Special.) .)-Car No S5 of the traction company was fired on by strikers or their sympathizers to- night about o'clock. Five or six bull lets hit the car, one of which glanced and struck the motorman, but did not inf1ict a wound. A number of passengers were on the car at the time.
 The situation in regard to the strike of the motormen and conductors of the Montgomery Traction company, in spite of all rumors to the opposite, stood prac- tically unchanged today. The company is holding out in it's contention that no concession will be made to the employees while they still retain the attitude of srkers, while the strikers are equally as strenuous in their demands for arbitra- ton.
 General Manager W. H. Ragland of the company this morning stated that the company had a sufficient number of em- ployes at present, and that they desired no change in present conditions, save that they had rather have perfect har- mony. T have promised" he said, to take back none of the old employees as matters now stand, and for while at least I intend to abide by this decision.
 But some of your men," merchant of the city remarked, 'is highly fitted
 
 and the general manager stated that the majority of them were good friends or his, and that personally he regretted the seeming estrangement between them.
 The strikers have been holding Anass meetings in various sections of this city during the past week and have aroused the sympathy of the citizens over their present inactivity. All of those, however, who have participated in the strike are receiving the plaudits of citizens over the gentlemanly demeanor in which they have conducted themselves since the begin ming of the outbreak, and the mass meet ings that are being held are more for the purpose of impressing upon the citizens the good of unions to the workingrnen than for the purpose of agitation. They have not been accused of the latter.
 A report current on the streets this morning to the effect that the company had decided to take back number or the old employees was discredited by MT. Ragland
