FOG MARS RECORD
BREAKING VOYAGE

Speed-Expected to Reach New
York Friday Morning.

New York, Sept, 12.-Judging from
the latest wireless report received
from the liner Luciano, the vessel was
$50 miles east of Sable Island at
11:20 o'clock last night. 1t now looks
as If the big Cunarder will not reach
Sandy Hook until a. m, Friday. If
she does this she will beat the rec
ords of the Luciano and the Deutsch-
land but not by as many hours as ex-
pected yesterday. There seems to
have been a marked decrease in the
speed of the steamer yesterday, prob
ably due to fog.

Will Have No Place in
the Constitution Of
Oklahoma

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. %. The Jim
Crow law will not go into the constitu-
tion Of Oklahoma This is now al
most settled fact. The Democrats
fearful of their existence after the
II sxt election, have acceded to the
wishes of Railroad Haskell and are
content with his management Of the
affair.
Haskell Saturday addressed a tele-
gram to H. r. Nesbit, correspondent
for the Kansas CITY Times at Wash
ington urgin the latter to call upon
John s. Williams for his views on
the subject. The telegram says that
it was desired to have caucus of
Democratic senators and congressman
for the purpose Of learning atpolIcy
they would suggest in the matter.
Nesbit in reply wired Haskell that a
Jim crow law by no means could be
inserted in the constitution.
Haskell and Murray have lined up
all the elements in the convention on
their side and it is practically assured
that the defeat of the Jim Crow legis-
lation is in sight.

Chelsea, Okla, Jan. 2S-There was a
hot time in local Democratic circles
Saturday night that might have re-
suited IN bloodshed
A short time ago A. L. Hates Of
Claremore issued a call for a meeting
Of the Democratic township commit
teemen OF Rogers county in Claremore
January 29 II. Il. Hester, editor Of
the Commercial OF this city, and
president OF the local Democratic club,
was opposed to Hates plan. He IN
sisted that the Democrats OF the var
ious townships should be permitted to
choose delegates to the Claremore
meeting.
Accordingly Hester and some Others
issued a call for meeting Of the Chel-
sea clnb Saturday night There was a
big attendance and lively doings. W.
r. Jeffords moved that Kates' call be
recognized and endorsed. Hester re-
fused to entertain the motion. An
appeal was taken, and Hester was
voted down. He refused to leave the
chair, however, or to permit the mo-
tion to be put,
Jetfords, it is said, attempted to put
him out Of the chair, when fight en-
sued. Hester struck Jetfords over the
head with tie gayel, and "Tanky''
Smith aud Committeeman Walker also
felt the effects Of his wrath. Finally,
with the assistance Of Deputy Marshal

OPPOSES IT

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 2S-Rooert L.
Owen Of Muskogee, Democratic can
didate for United States senator, just
returned from Washington, says
Roosevelt emphatically expressed him-
self to him against the separate coach
es and waiting rooms provision. Mr.
Owen, after talk with the president
opposes the Incorporation Of these
clauses in the constitution.
The constitutional convention this
morning argued at length the proyis-
ion declaring that gas pipe lines shall
not be common carriers. The inten-
tion of the provision is to keep COM
panies from acquiring gas pipe lines

A Common Experience

A Vinita boy sent So cents to Mont
gomery & Ward Of Chicago for mar
bles. When the package came there
was charge Of So cents for express.
Vinita marble dealers would have been
glad to have furnished the boy more
marbles for his 55 cents than he re-
ceived from Chicago and ID addition
he would have been So cents ahead,
the amount paid for express.
This boys experience Is the same as
that Of the men who patronize the
catalogue houses Men and boy 3 who
trade at home are the community
builders, while those who send their
money away assist IN the upbullding
OF Chicago, New York and Boston.

Courts viii Probably
Be Continued for
a Time

The marshal's Office has begun en-
tering cases in the eighth docket.
Since the northern district was creat-
ed, in July, 1902, the business has
been constantly Increasing. At first
a docket, which contains 1,203 cases,
year. The seventh docket, however
was begun last June, and was filled
by the irst Of the year. Unless. state
hood comes sooner than now appears
possible, the eighth docket also will
be filled before the office Is abolished.
Court officials believe, however, that
their terms will be continued for
some time after statehood II but
one United States court is left for
the whole Indian Territory it would
take it a year to clean up the business
now pending to say nothing OF hand
ling the new business that will arise.
1t is estimated that one judge would
have to put in his entire time for two
years merely cleaning up the pending
business in the Northern district, and
the other three districts doubtless
have more criminal business than the
Northern.
1t isQuite generally believed, there
fore, that congress, in order to get
the pending business closed expedi-
tiously, Will continue The courts un-
til the dockets have been cleared Of
their criminal cases

and Serious Trouble Is Narrowly
Averted by Officers

J, w. Coghill, Hester was evicted
from the hall.
He returned some time later with a
gun, and demanded admission, swear
ing, 1t is alleged, that he would kill
Jeffords. City Marahal Dykes arrived
on the scene about this time, however,
and peace was finally restored. Ef-
forts are being made today to hush the
affair, but the rupture In the party is
so great that this is impossible.
