SEEKING HELP
IN WASHINGTON
Oklahoma Republicans Have
Little Hope of Carrying the
New State This Fall.

Washington, May 1.-THE Oklahoma
situation was canvassed today at d
conference in this city between Repre-
sentatives Sherman, chairman of the
Republican congressional committee;
Loudenslager, secretary of the commit
tee; Governor Frartz, former Delegate
Mcclure, e. T. Glenn and number of
prominent Republicans of the proposed
new state. At the conclusion the fol-
lowing statement was issued:
THE gentlemen have been in contin-
uous session for three hours discussing
all political questions relating to the
proposed state of Oklahoma. No reso-
luton was offered touching proposed
future action AMI no decision made n
very full and general interchange of
opinion was given. The gentlemen here
are to see Secretary Taft this afternoon
and invite him to go to the territory
and address the citizens. Before they
leave they will pay their respects to the
the president and, # the president de-
sires, viii present their views to him.
The dual purpose of these gentlemen
was first to extend to Secretary Taft a
formal invitation to the territory and,
second. TO consult with the representa-
tives of the congressional committee to
explain the situation and probable need
and ask it's cooperation in their cam
paign work.
After the statement was given out
several members of the delegation adj
mitted that the real purpose of the
gathering was to determine whether
the Republicans should put ticket IN
the field for the first state election. The
decision was unanimous in favor OF
nominating a ticket in order to pre-
serve the identity of the party. if for
no other reason.
Governor Frantz, however. who is the
leading candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, processes to
believe that the state ticket will be
elected.

Helena, Mont, May 1.-THE coroner's
jury which Investigated the death of
Winfield c. Guthrie at small mining
camp near here Sunday. has rendered
a verdict to the effect that the deed

consequence, County Attorney Hey

an information charging first degree
murder. Melville in an interview at
the county jail admitted the killing,
and said it was done in the heat of pas

they lived. abused and slapped his sick
wife over trivial attention paid Guth-
rie's children by a neighbor's daugh-
ter Mrs. Melville is also at the county
