The President Refers the Constitution
to the Attorney General
for Opinion

Washington, May President
Roosevelt has refereed to the attorney
general for report on the copy Of
the constitution adopted by the Ok
lahoma convention. The attorney
general will pass, not only on the
constitutional and legal questions in
volved, but also whether the presi-
dent can with propriety indicate his
intention as to signing Or refusing to
sign the PROCLAMATION 10 admit the
new state. II the constitution is in
such form thas the president win feel
constrained to decline 10 issue a proc
lamation Of admission, it would save
much expense and delay for him to
make a formal statement to this ef-
feet. This course is being urged on
him BY the republicans Of the terri
tory.
The officials Of the republican CON
gressional committee would also like
to know whether the president will
accept the constitution, for if he does
money, will have to be raised and
speakers sent into the new state.
The refusal to admit state to the
Union is a serious b1siness and the
president will not lightly pass on the
constitution. It may be the opinion
Of the attorney general that the presi-
dent should not pass on the question
at all, in advance Of the adoption oi
the constitution by the electors Of the
two territories. Both national con
gressional committees are preparing
to food Oklahoma with speakers II
it becomes necessary.

ARE UNABLE TO FILL
BIG ORDERS FOR COAL
Reading Company Declines Large
Foreign Contract.
HOME DEMANDS ARE TOO GREAT.
The Shortage in All Grades of Coal De-
clared to Be Increasing Daily Search
ty of Labor at the Mines One of the
Principal Causes Western Railroads
Anxious.

Philadelphia Especially. - Because
of its inability to fill the order, the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company was compelled to de-
cline a contract for 100000 tons of
anthracite, the order for which was
rendered by a representative of the
Austro-H Hungarian Chamber of Com
MERGE. The proposed purchaser was
willing to pay the regular price for
placing the coal on board vessels,
either here or in New York.
Another order for 100000 tons of
bitumious coal wanted by the Italian
government is also being offered to
the largest soft-coal operators of the
United States, with little prospect of
its being taken because of the great
expense in delivering it to the Italian
destination designated. Other for
eign orders have been offered to
American operators with lack of sue
cess.
The great demand for coal by for
eign governments is attributed to
the increased amount Of coal con-
sumed by their naval vessels, the
number of which has grown rapidly
within the last two years. All native
coal is being used for this purpose
and the supply is not equal to the de-
mand Added to this is the coal re.
'quired for other government insti-
buttons, as well as for industrial con
sumption.
An officer of the Reading Company
explained that his company was com
PEELED to decline all such orders be
cause of the great demand for coal
among customers in this country and
because of the scarcity Of labor at
the collieries. The same conditions
confronted every other anthracite
company, as we'll as all bituminous
operators, he said. 1t was further
explained that the shortage of all
grades of coal is increasing daily and
many Western railroads are now
much disturbed concerning their sup
plies for the coming winter.
Men who formerly worked in the
mines are seeking employment in less
dangerous lines of business. Many
have abandoned mining as means
of livelihood and have turned to
farming in Western States. For
eigners who formerly came to the
United States to take up mining now
seek employment in other fields OF
labor.
