had adopted the constitution BY
small majority or by electing a
Republican state ticket, giving
the presideat a chance to avoid
the charge Of partisanship : Il
is fortunate for Oklahoma that
the constitution was ratified by
an overwhelming majority and
the state offices put in the hands
Of Democrats. Il left no other
excuse than partisan one for
the delay of statehood. After
all, the vote OF the people has

ANOTHER COAL NINE HORROR
over $50 Miners Are Entombed and
There Is No Hope to Rescue
Them.

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 21.-An ex-
plosion of gas in the Darr mine of
the Pittsburg Coal company, located
here, has entombed between 200 and
$50 miners, and there is scarcely ray
of hope that a single one of them will
be taken from the mine alive. Par
TALLY wrecked buildings in the vicinity
of the mine and the few bodies found
early In the rescue work indicate an
explosion of such terrific force that it
seems impossible that any one could
have survived it. All of the 10 bodies
taken out up to this time are terribly
mutilated. and three of them are head
less.
This is the third mine disaster since
the first of the month in the veins of
bituminous coal underlying western
Pennsylvania and West Virginia for
the Naomi mine, near Fayette City,
and the two mines at Monongah, w.
Va, in which the earlier explosions
happened. are in the same belt as the
local workings The last catastrophe
swells the number of victims of deadly
mine gas for the 10 days to between
$50 and 600

SHE IS AN HEIREss.
Miss WhaIey, Who Fled With Rev.
Cooke.


New York, Dec. 23.-Floretta
Whaley, the II year old girl who
eloped on April 30 last from Hemp
stead, L. l., with her guardian, the
Rev. Jere Knode Cooke, pastor of st.
Georges Episcopal church, has been
declared heiress to $5377. This is a
part of the fortune left by her father.
M. Whaley, who died about a year
ago.
Nov the question in Hampstead and
surrounding towns is, "Will Floretta
Whaley return to claim the inherit
tance?"
Mrs. Cooke is at present in New
Haven. 1t is understood that she VIII
not institute a divorce suit, preferring
to cause her husband to suffer the
shame attendant upon his actions
rather than to give him his freedom.
Although the gossips have it that
the girl is near Hampstead, no one at
tempts to fathom the mystery of where
the unfrOcked, disgraced clergyman is.
There are rumors, however, that Cooke
has been found by the authorities, and
that the latter are biding their time
before taking him back to Hempsted.

SPORTING NOTES.

At Bakersfield last week Bill
Squires, the Australian who proved
such disappointment against Tommy
Burns, was knocked out in the sixth
round by Jim Flynn. Squires showed
no class at all.
Those sport fans who have refused
to acknowledge that Kid Scaler of
Spokane had anything in the boxing
line are admitting that the quick wind
up to Billy Snailham's career in the
ninth round recently showed the Kid
to have unusual scrapping ability.
