OKLAHOMA CELEBRATES
ADVENT OF STATEHOOD

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 18.-The streets
of Guthrie were filled with an expect
ant crowd when bulletins were posted
at the telegraph and newspaper Offices
giving the information that the chief
executive of the nation had placed his
signature on the proclamation which
gives to Oklahoma the sovereign
rights of statehood.
The news quickly spread, and it was
but few moments before pandemon-
ium reigned supreme. Every bell in
the city rang out the glad tidings, from
scores of whistles there was a con-
tinuous blast of overlooking joy. Can
mons, anvils, horns, shot guns, and in
fact everything noisy were brought
into use. Squads of men marched the
streets yelling and firing salutes, every
small boy raked out the old election
horn, and every one seemed deter
mined to make Rome howl. Crowds
poured into the principal streets and
the Stars and Stripes went up on
every side.
The bedlam continued until the
hour arrived for the inauguration of
the state officers, and news was re-
ceived from throughout the new state
that similar performances were going
on in every city and town from bor-
der to border.
The hour of noon found Guthrie
thronged with visitors from outside
points. come to attend the Inaugural
ton and participate in the festivities.
The visitors, with thousands OF home
people. made locomotion well night
impossible through the public thor
oughfares. The decorations OF the
city were most lavish and well chosen.
Enormous Crowds.
An enormous crowd gathered at the
place chosen for the inauguration,
when the hour for the ceremonies ar
rived. Territorial Governor Frank l..
Frantz called the vast assemblage to-
eether. President Roosevelt's pro-
clamation announcing the admission
of Oklahoma into the union was read
and was greeted with wild cheers.
Governor Frantz then announced that
the time had arrived for the federal
government to withdraw from the con-
troll Of affairs of the two territories.
Governor Charles N. Haskell and other
state officers then took the oath OF
office while the great assemblage
sang America and other patriotic
airs The scene was one OF widest
anthusiasm, which subsidized only long
enough for the new governor to de-
liver his inaugural address.

Germany Sorry for Haste.

Berlin, Nov. 19.-Regret is expressed
at the foreign office here at the fact
that Secretary Taft's plans will not
permit him to be entertained here or
to visit Emperor William in England.
While it is perfectly understood that
Mr.. Taft has no special object in alter
ing his plans, i twould have been more
agreeable for his majesty to have re-
ceived views with him and to have
shown him any courtesies.
The emperor would have been able
to see Mr.. Taft in England up to
December 9, and as the audience was
arranged at the secretary's request, it
is assumed that some urgent reason
exists requiring him to hasten home.
