Number of Important Matters to be
 Disposed of.
 Oklahoma City Ok. Feb. 2.-It the substance of the report of the committee on primray elections was Sknown, some idea when the constitu- tional convention will adjourn might be had
 The committee will not submit its report until Tuesday next and not an inkling of what date has been con- sidered can be learned tonight. The del~-r 'es are now working without pay. It is a conservative prediction that the sessions will continue at least two weeks in all probability longer.
 Beyond several measures of purely minor importance not a single con- stitutional plank has had it's flna1 reading. The prohibition fight was practically settled yesterday put the adopted in the committee of the whole has been sidetracked for reconsider alton and that similar fate awaits other paramount propositions is frank ly admitted by Democratic leaders.

WARNS ROOSEVELT
FORMER AMBASSADOR CH0ATE
 AGAINST GENERALIZATION
Points Ont Danger To Goverhment If Federal Authorities Enereach On
 the Powers of the Sovereign States,

New York. Feb. 2--At the banquet of the Sons of Williams College, at Del monico's last night. Joseph H. choate, the principal speaker, paid a tribute to President Roosevelt and Secretary Root, but he also sounded q warning to them not to encroach upon the duties of the Legislature and vice versa.
 There is not a man or woman in this country" he said, mo matter how much they differ in opinion from them. who will not give them credit tor the great spirited work they are doing. work, too, that involves the sacrifice of their personal interests"
 MT Choate then turned his attention to our national form of government. and then uttered ffls warning. The au- thorlty of the Supreme Court, he said. was the final authority.
 'To Englishmen who asked me how two distinct and independent govern ments could exercise supreme and sov- ereiRn sway" said the former Ambas- sador to the Court of St. James. ''lt explained that the functions of the two Rovernments were absolutely distinct 1t was never permitted that either should encroach upon the duties of the other.
 If the Federal power should en- cfoach. upon the State, of the State up- on the Federal. what them? they asked me. told them there was but one instance of that. one fatal question of sovereignty. and then we mad resorted to arms. Heneeforth in case of con- fiIct of authority. all will be settled peaceably by the Supreme Court. with out resorting to threats or force.
 'In our Federal government there should be no encroachment Of the ex- ecutive upon the judiciary. nor upon the legislature. nor should there be any en- croachment of the legislature upon the judiciary, nor the executive. But what if this should arise? I point at that juncture to the United States Supreme Court at the final authority"

Pitts on Child Labor.

Pitts on Child Labor
 MT. Pitts of Perry County, thinks a large number of women from all parts of the State will be here this week to appear before the joint committees of the two houses on mining and man. ufacturing in regard to the child labor bill, which he introduced last week portant,
 Tt is a terrible thing" he said last evening, "to have the little innocent boys and girls put to work in the cot ton mills and sweat shops It Is bad enough to have the women work, but 1t is infinitely worse when the chill dren, ,Sseho have no voice or vote in 1t. are Compelled to labor.
 Scientists tell us the muscles of children, especially of little girls. are of little more consistency than water until they reach the age of IA years which is about the time that the girls here in the South, begin to develor into women Up to that age they have no business working at all.
 T believe every orphan should be entirely prohibited from working in any factory or at any inside work un- til he or she arrives at the age of dis erection. and has learned how to take care of himself. The children with parents have some one who Is sup posed to take care of them, but the orphans have not. and in my opinion should not be permitted to do any work at all ."

 Decatur and Morgan County have just emerged from one of the hottest dispensary fights that Alabama has ever seen. The open saloon and the dispensary met in deadly combat. and the Morgan County fuss was heard all over the State Stump speakers met each other in every nook and corner of the country, and families became di- vided aginst each other. When the battle was over. the dispensary was down and out, and the saloon was bad ly disfigured, but stil in the ring. Nor gan County and Decatur drew long breaths and hoped they would never again look upon such a struggle.
 But the Decatur delegation is now afraid that the local option bill is go- ing to offer the chance for another fight. They are fearful that under the terms of the bill. one-fourth, of the county voters can plunge the county in another desperate struggle, and they shudder when they think of it.

sWEDEN's GROWN PRINCE.
How He Earned the Badge of the Na-
 tional Sporting Club.

Prince Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, who by the death of King Oscar has become crown prince, is an ardent sportsman and loses no op. portunity to further the interests of the ancient Morse athletic games. Re. gently he applied to the committee ot the Swedish National Sporting club to be allowed to wear the distinguish ing badge of the club.
 The committee replied that the badge could not be conferred by a mere resolution-it must be earned by proven merit. The prince imme. diately answered that he would un- dergo the necessary test whereupon the committee decided to make it take the form of a running performances on rough ground at the Ostermalm Sports park. the distance to be Swedish mile (six and one-quarter English miles), the time not to ex- ceed fifty minutes.
 The royal aspirant to athletic hon. ors covered the distance in forty-eight and a half minutes and accordingly received the desired badge.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL.
Cornell Showing Up We'll Among thu
 Intercollegiate League Teams.

The early season games have been unfortunate for the larger college teams, Yale and Pennsylvania es- pecially. The New Haven men in starting their long vacation tour were beaten twice, Syracuse and Rochester turning the tricks against the Yale five. The victory in the Rochester game apparently is ascribable not a little to expert throwing of fouls in a contest which was extremely rough. Syracuse profited greatly by having in the game Sugarman, a freshman recently made eligible for the varsity sport. He scored a third of the Syra- cuse points.
 There has been only one game in the intercollegiate league so far and there will be no more until January III. Columbia, in spite of the great scoring done by Princeton against its scrub. was able to check the Jer- seymen in a game played in New York.
 There has been little opportunity to get a good line on the comparative capabilities of the teams in the in tercollegiate league. It is apparent that they are hardly up to the quality of the past three seasons. Pennsyl- vania is weaker as the defeat by Poly Prep serves to show Yale certainly is not strong. and Princeton is hard ly as good as expected. Columbia is just fair. while Cornell. to iudge from the victory over Rochester, is better than usual It may De the chance of the Ithacans this season.

FALSE MOUSTACKE FALLS.
If It Had Stuck Tommy Burns Would
 Have Been in Lacrosse.

Tommy Burns. heavyweight pugi- list of the world, was an accident. Being barred from an amateur la- crosse team at Detroit after he had been imported as a star player he turned his attention to a gymnasium and it was discovered that he had natural qualifications of a pug. And that was only eight years ago.
 J. A. Nudge, manager of the Eu- clid cigar store in the Taylor arcade. was secretary of the lacrosse team that imported Burns from Galt. Ont, to Detroit At that time Burns was known by his right name. Noah BrussO.
 The Detroit lacrosse team had some hard games ahead. and not finding the local talent quite up to snuff. hit upon the scheme of getting BrussO. So Mir Nudge sent to Galt, Ont, and had Burns hike to Detroit. He arriv- ed and in some way his identity be- came known. He was barred then from the amateur ranks. However. along came contests with London. in which his services were required. Burns disguised himself by using a false mustache, but during a scrim- mage the extra whisker fell of and the opposing team got wise. That created quite an athletic scandal in Detroit Incidentally it drove Burns out Of the lacrosse game and he turn ed to the Detroit Athletic clubs gymnasium
 At that time Jack Collins was ath- Ietic director there Collins had been something of a pug in his day and Burns looked awfully good Burns was a strapping big fellow who was in prime condition because of his la crosse training HOEeveT. he didn't know the first thing about boxing but when Collins put him wise he was willing to learn After diIiEent training under the able direction of Collins. Burns acquired soze skill and couus1csd to meet oatsiders ia the suburbs Of Detroit-
