STATE ELECTION IN
 OKLAHOMA TILL 'OS
PERMANENT INJUNCTION GRANT ED IN WOODS COUNTY CASE. AN APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN.
 ACTION OF STATE CONVENTION.

Washington. D. C.. May Ex-Governor Frantz of Oklahoma and the delegation from that state who are in Washington to confer with Chairman sherman and members of the republican congressional committee regarding the constitution adopted for the new state, late tonight received a telegram announcing that permanent injunction was granted by Judge Pancoast, at Ava, Okla, today in the Woods county case, restraining the governor, constitutional convention and county officers from calling an elec- tion prior to November, 1908. J. l.. Ha- mon, the republican state chairman of Oklahoma, who announces an appeal will be taken to the state supreme court, to- night telegra pehed the chairman of the state executive committee, calling meet ing May 2S to decide what action shall be taken regarding the holding of a state convention.
 The result of Judge Pancoast's decision, it is announced tonight by the delegation, may be that the convention will have to again assemble to make certain changes in the state constitution recently adopted. Chairman Ilamon has sent messages to the county chairmen recommending that caucuses or conventions be held after the meeting of the republican state ex- ecutive committee. It will be impossible, Chairman Hamon says, to get lshring in the state supreme court until the mid dle of June and the state convention has been called to meet June 6 at Tulsa, l. T. Secretary Taft has accepted an in vitaton to address that convention. In view of Judge Pancoast's decision in the Woods county case the Oklahoma dele gates believe that it will be necessary to postpone the state convention until the supreme court passes on the Woods coun- ty appeal case.
 Accompanied by Representatives Sher- man of New York and Loudenslager of New Jersey and Senator Curtis of Kan sas, the Oklahoma delegation were re- ceived by the president tonight MT. Roosevelt asked many questions about the new state but expressed no opinion regarding the new constitution.

 well, there is a story in this line about the famous Jonas Hanway
 "As Hanway was leaving the country house Of a duke a string of servants waited to waylay him.
 Sir said one, your overcoat.'
 And Hanway put on the overcoat and gave the man a sovereign.
 Your umbrella, sir, said another
 And. taking the umbrella, Hanway surrendered another sovereign.
 Your hat. sir
 Another sovereign.
 Sir, your gloves
 Why friend, says Hanway you may keep the gloves. They are not worth sovereign"

SAYS ROOSEVELT
 WANTS THIRD TERM
COL. ARCH HUGHES OF COLUMBIA IS OPPOSED AS POSTMASTER BY PRESIDENTS ORDER, DESPITE HIS FAVoRING TAFT.

Washington, May n-(special.) .)-"But they control the organization" Col. Arch Hughes, who was today removed from the Columbia, Tenn, postoffice, declared tonight that when his case was discussed with Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock, that that official gave him the above answer when he asked why the word of down and out, discredited and dsgraced republican carpetbag poli- ticians in Tennessee" should be taken against his statement.
 Two weeks ago the appointment of John Jackson for the Columbia postoffice was announced at the White House. It was stated that owing to frequent ab- sences from his office, Colonel Hughes had been removed Hughes who owes his position to Representative Brown low, brought that congressman to Wash ington with him. They saw the Presi- dent and the case was held up today when 1t was announced that the previous order of the department would stand ana Hughes would have to go. Hughes mas from time to time announced that he favored the nomination of Secretary Taft for the presidency. He says that Mir. Hitchcock has been down south work
  vention who will support Roosevelt for a third term and because he would not be a party to it, he has been removed from office.
 Although" says Hughes. T was one of the delegates at Chicago in 1880 who voted for General Grant for a third term President Grant had never said that un- der no circumstances would he accept a nomination for a third term. 1 am one of those who has taken President Roose- veiC at his word in declining to accept a nomination under any circumstances,
 Jackson was indorsed for office by H. Clay Evans and Newell Sanders of the state republican committee. Brownlow who until recently has been in control of Tennessee patronage, was for Hughes The deposed postmaster says he never left his office except upon the written permission of the postmaster general and charges against him are not founded in fact
 Colonel Hughes Is still for Taft, but naturally not quite as enthusiastic.

Addicks In New Role.

From the Washington Star
 It is now reported that J. Edward Ad- dicks best known from the fact that he tied up the Delaware legislature in a deadlock for several years and held the commonwealth out of it's full senatorial representation, is about to engage in the enterprise of financing the work ot im- proving the Trans Siberian railway, which is owned by .he Russian government Thus far no confirmation of the report has come from St. Petersburg, and there is a disposition on the part of some Amer ican skeptics to regard it as device to allay the eagerness of certain people. who recently haunted the Addicks front door in Hobo<en. to meet up with that elusive gentleman. Be that as It may there is no doubt that a financial job or this character would probably be quite to Addick's liking. Russia IS said 10 De a fair field for the free-handed spender and while Delaware is somewhat smaller than the Cars realm MT. Addicks mas served a most instructive apprenticeship in the work of inducing people to sup port him.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 A shark which appeared to be blest with an uncommonly powerful and undiscrim- mating appetite was stranded on the deck of the Norwegian fruit steamship Bodo in a storm south of Cape Hatteras. When the Bodo got to port Saturday Captain Larsen told the story, which is substan- tiated by the tail of the shark and pho- tograph taken by the captains wife.
 It was on Wednesday that the big comber dropped the shark on board, and there was great time killing the mon ster. The fish was twelve feet long and big in proportion. The stomach was cut open, revealing fifteen young sharks full ly a foot long each, a straw hat, six large snappers and a can of shredded fishball meat. with the label still on the can.
