JENKINS RAPS GLENN
Says States Are Encroachinq
on the Federal Power.
SCENTS CIVIL WAR AFFAIR OFF
Doesn't Know What Is Going to Be-
come Of Us.
RESPECTS THE SUPREME COURT
Its Decisions May Be Wrong, but
They Are Better Than Nothing,
Says the Representative.
RESPECTS THE SUPREME COUR.

CHIPPEWA FALLS. Wis. August l.
Representative Jenkins. chairman Of the
judiciary committee of the national House
Of Representatives., last night issued q
statement relative to the North Carolina
railroad rate imbroglio. He says there has
never been any event since the civil war
that calls for 50 severe condemnation as the
recent senseless TRADE on behalf Of states
against the nation. He adds that 1t Is
humiliating that the matter has been COM
promised. and that the nation has to some
extent surrendered.
Tho civil war was the result Of such
agitation, and we may have earlier than we
want another civil war;" he said.
ITO avert such a calamity and preserve
the nation. we must conform to the law,
obey the law. and have the law enforced
according to the framework provided in the
Constitution"
Judge Jenkins points out that the Su-
preme Court Of the United States is made
the final judge between state and nation.
Mr.. Jenkins believes the executive Of the
nifty, and remember we have to depend
upon tho judiciary Of the country to save
the Union.
Usurp Federal Authority.
Ever since the civil war" he said. "other
states have had similar troubles and did
not make fools Of themselves or declare
war. and the questions involved were de-
cided by the Supreme Court and no bad
results followed.
''If all state authorities are going to
usurp functions Of the Supreme Court and
Judge what federal act shall be nullifed.
no one can tell where 1t will end"
Mr.. Jenkins says he Is opposed to weak
ening the powers Of both state and nation.
and calls attention to the fact that the
state has the remedy In the Supreme Court
why should state authority declare they
will exercise every power at their COM
msnd to prevent such cons cons aa,n9 =, me ne
pose lawful efforts.
This continual talk about state author
tides resisting federal power by armed
forces will sooner or later end in bloodsheu.
possibly in the disruption OF the Union.
Court May Err.
In concluding Mr.. Jenkins says the Su-
preme Court Of the United States may err.
II may dlner with the views OF great ma
1or!ty Of the people. but however that may
be. the constitution says its decision is
final and must be regarded as the supreme
law of the land. and that Is what must
govern US.
Better live under q wrong decision than
| amidst anarchy that must prevail in this
country II each state authority Is going to
disregard the Constitution Of the United
States and assert its own power. right OF
wrong. in defiance Of the national power
| thereby weakening and absolutely disre-
garding this government that has cost SO
many generations SO much to make and
preserve it."

FRANTz FORCES CONTROL
LITTLE CONTEST OVER OFFICES

TULSA, l. T., August 1.-Repubfcans OF
Oklahoma and Indian Territory met hero
in convention today to adopt q platform to
decide the question Of naming q full list
of officials for the proposed new state of
Oklahoma and to select q chairman Of the
state central committee. Tho convention
also will take some action regarding tho re-
Gently adopted constitution that - to be
put to a vote Of the people September 8.
A fight Is likely over the selection Of q
state chairman. The candidates are Charles
Hunter. Oklahoma City, former member
of Rooseve!t's Rough Riders James r..
Cottingham of Guthrie. Vernon Whiting Of
Enid and ]. l.. Hamon. the present chair
man. Gov. Frank Frantz. whose forces
seem to be In control. has suggested Hunt
er, but the latters candidacy has brought
out some opposition. Hunters selection, 1t
Is asserted. will mean an Endorsement of
President Roosevelt for the presidential
nomination In 1903.
Frantz for Governor.
Frank Frantz. the present Governor Of
Oklahoma, has no opposition for the nomi-
nation for governor Of the new state, and he
probably will be named by reclamation.
A f1gnt may occur over the question Of
putting full state ticket in the field. some
ant-Frantz delegates opposing such q
course. 1t Is believed. however. that ma
jority will favor full ticket. There are
practically no contests for the offices under
governor. and the following ticket Is slated
to go through:
Lieutenant governor-N. G. Turk. Checo-
tab
Secretary OF state-T. N. Robenette. Ard
more.
Attorney general-Silas Reed, FL Reno.
Labor commissioning. n. Coonlan, Okla
homa City.
State treasurer. Mortimer Stillwell, Bar
tlesville.
State auditor. j. E. Dyche, Guthrie.
There Is a division on the question of In
dorsing the constitution. which was drafted
by convention overwhelmingly demo-
cratic.
The first applause ELECTED in the conven-
ton was for Secretary of War Taft. A
large banner bearing the words. Hear Taft

stretched across the stage. and when the
delegates sped 1t they cheered Justify.

I'VE want no Dixie here: this Is not a

to the platfrom to catch the sentence ap-
plauded it.
The convention was called to order short
ly before noon by State Chairman Hamon.

40 KILLED IN SEOUL
FIGHT OVER DISBANDINa THE
KOREAN ARMY.

dispatch was received at the State De-
partment today from Consul General
Thomas Sammons, at Seoul Korea. saying
that forty Koreans were killed or wounded
this morning in an engagement precipi-
tated by the disarmament Of tho Korean
army. The casualties on the japanese side.
the dispatch says. were slight.
No details Of the reported engagement
near Seoul have been received at the Japa-
nese embassy in this city. The affairs in
Korea, not having direct bearing on the
United States. the foreign office at Toxic
10 not keeping the embassy here informed
of what Is going on there every day.
I'VE have not received any advices re-
garding the disarmament of the Korean
the counselor Of the embassy today. IF
the news of their disarmament Is correct It
must have been dictated solely by the
necessity Of maintaining peace in the coun-
try"
The counselor said he did not know
the size Of the army which had been main
tanned by the Korean government. In re-
cent years the Koreans have been sending
their younger men to Japan for training
in the military schools there. These men
came back and acted as officers in the
Korean army. Mr.. Miyaoka thought the
soldiers in Seoul had been better trained
because they had the benefit OF the officers
who had studied in Japanese colleges,
while those in the outlying district had
perhaps not received much training.
Officials at the embassy declare that ia
pans policy in Korea has been, as far
as practicable, to leave its condition au-
tOnOmous..
From information obtained from other
sources today the statement was made at
the first Of the present year that the
Korean army numbered between 1900 and
1900 men. This probably. however. has
been considerably reduced since Japan has
exercised her sphere Of influence over the
country. resulting partly in the displace-
mnt Of the Korean soldiers by those of
Japan. Several years ago, in 1904. the
Korean army had rea ched a higher state Of
efficiency than 1t enjoys today. At that
time field officer and q number Of subor-
dinate officers from the Russian army took
the Koreans in hand, drilled them thor
oughly and succeeded In improving the
army considerably.
On the LIST of April Japan. according to
information available in Washington. had q
whole mixed division Of troops in Korea,
with headquarters at Hamheung. The
army was made up Of 1900 enlisted men
and 400 commissioned and non-comnis-
stoned officers.
