RecOnvened Today.

Guthrie, o. T., April l6.-lrhe con.
vention reconvened here today to fin
ish up the work and give the delegates
a chance to sign the engrossed consti-
tuition.
During the intermission the conven-
tion has discovered that its power is
limited, and the recent decision of
Judge Burford shearing the election
board OF its power will compel the
convention to draft an entirely new
election ordinance or to ignore the
order Of the court,
Murray and few others advise the
convention TO disobey the Injunction.
The majority Of the delegates, how
ever, will probably favor adherence to
the court decision and the supreme
election board will act according to
the instructions of the convention.

DELMAS NOT
IN The CASE

New York, April Hilary X.
Thaw spent quiet Sunday In the
Tombs today. Early in the afternoon
his wife called to see him, but War
den Flynn told her that she would
have to abide by the usual prison
rules consequently she was not per-
mitted to see her husband as she had
done on previous Sundays during the
the eleven weeks that Thaw had been
on trial.
1t was stated by one of the counsel
who acted for Thaw In the recent tri.
al that ID. M. Delmas will not hereaf-
ter have anything to do with the case,
but that Messrs Peabody and O. Reilly
would act for Thaw in the future.
No application, it was stated today
to admit Thaw to bail will be made
until after the differences between
his council have been adjusted and a
definite decision is made by him which
may be sanctioned by his mother as to
who shall be retained and who dis
missed.

IN final SESSION.
COnstitutiOnanaI Convention
Met at Guthrie Today to
Complete Constitution.

Guthrie, o. IT,, April 16-John M.
Young, chairman Of the supreme cleo
tion board named by the constitutional
convention stated last night that the
convention, which convened at 10 a.
m. today, will draft a new election
ordinance to comply with the orders
Of the court injunction granted by
Judge Burford.
"The order OF the court puts the
board entirely out of business" said
Mr.. Young. ut even depriyes the
board of the power of naming the cleo
tion machinery in the new counties,
as IL holds that the convention cannot
delegate this power to anyone else"
The general opinion among the dele
gates is that the supreme election
board will be dissolved by the conven-
tion, which will itself name the elec-
tion machinery in the new counties.
A number of delegates are in favor of
disregarding the court decision Some
Of these are expected to indulge in Wit
riolic language on the floor Of the con-
vention.
The convention will be In session
this time until Saturday, and possibly
until Monday. There has been delay
in getting parchment on which to
write the remainder Of the constitu-
tion and this cannot be obtained and
the work Of engrossing finished for the
signatures of the delegates before Fri
day or Saturday.
Most Of the delegates arrived last
night. In addition number Of the
most prominent Democratic candidates
for Office mcae la.

UNSAFE TO FARM
INDIAN LANDS

Newkirk, Okla, April 12-Judge
Bayard It. Haines has issued man
datory injunction, In the case OF the
United States vs. Andrew w. Gerber,
involving the right to remove from
Indian allotmenrs persons occupying
same. without leases approved by the
secretary Of the interior.
The injunction, issued by Judge
Hainer, removes Gerber from the al
lotment Of James Poor Horse, a Ponca
Indian. Gerber made the claim that
the land involved was part of a tract
which he had bought under approved
deed. The titles to most all allot-
ments are held by the United States
in trust for Indians, and the Indians
cannot lease the lands to o6hers nor
permit others to occupy the land with
out the consent of the United States.
Any person occupying Indian lands,
without first securing a lease approx
ed by this secretary of the interior is
q tresspasser, and he may be removed
from the land by mandatory injunc-
tion secured in the name of the Unit
ed States.
That the person is occupying the
land under contract with the aliottee
is no defeEse to such action. The
United States is entitled to recover
the land in all cases except where
the occupant has lease approved by
the secretary of the interior
Until an approved lease has been
secured no farmer can afford to to put
in crops or incur expense on Indian
allotments.

STAR BOOMERS
EASILY DEFEATED

The Star Bloomer Girls baseball
team was easily defeated by the score
of 9 to l, by the local team yesterday
afternoon at Electric Park. The
ground had not been prepared, but
the game was remarkably well play
ed.
With the exception of their inabili-
ty to hit Harland, the local slab ar
tist, the Boomers put up good
game. Much amusement was furn-
shed by the game, as toward the
close of the game the local team made
farce Of it.
Vinita started the scoring in the
first inning, when Franklin, the first
man drove the ball against the can
vass in the center field and reached
the third station; Mars reached first
on an error by the third baseman,
Franklin scoring. Raines singled and
stole second, Mars scoring on the
throw to second. This ended the
scoring for this inning. After the
first inning the locals scored at will,
while the Bloomers only got one
man" across the plate.
The feature Of the game was the
terrific batting Of the local team;
Harland put three over the canvass
and got a single; franklin secured
threelbagger and single, Raines put
one over the canvass In left field.
Marrs and Ridenhour each got two
bagger and single. Harland was in
form and one single was the best the
Boomers could get About $50 peo-
plr were out to see the game.
