OKLAHOMA GAME LAW.
Lawmakers Will Give Birds, Beasts and Fishes a Chance Short
 Hunting Season.

Guthrie, Ok, March 2l.-The amendment by Stump" Ashby to protect the bnllfrog and by Murdock to prevent fishing on Sunday were the features of the house discussion of the game md fish bill today, but both amend ments were defeated after spirit ed discussions. An amendment by Murray to protect toads, be- cause of the war on insects, was adopted. The entire section was eliminated that gave noprotection to the English sparrow, hawk, crow and owl. The bill protects nongam birds and prohibits the sale of them where they are cap. tured within or without the state. It also protects the nests and eggs excepting for scientific pur- poses. Hunting licenses from the state are necessary, costing Ok lahomans St, nou-residents $2s and foreigners $50.
 It adopted the provision mak ing the open season for quail from December 10 10 January 10.
 Some of the farmer member: were in favor of prohibiting !ht killing of quail for number oI years because, they explained the quail consumes the bol weevils and other insects. Tn, killing of pheasants and prairi, chickens is prohibited for sever years. All night hunting is pro hibited. It is required that eac! hunter, resident or nonresident shall secure license from tn, county clerk before his hunting is legal. The sale of game i also prohibited and the appear ance of game on a hotel bill o fare is taken as prima facia evi dence that the proprietor of tn place has anne for sale.

DAVIS SAYS HE
 MADE RHOTON RUN
But The Story From Perry Is Differ ent. Stormy Session For Sena- tor at Camden Many Inter
 ruptions Occur.

Camden, March 19. Senator Jeff Davis spoke to crowd of 300 people at the opera house here this afternoon. He was met at the train by the Camden band and escorted to the hall. Repre- sentative A. Hamilton presided. The senator began speaking at 2 o'clock and spoke for two and a half hours. He paid particular attention to Prosecuting Attor- ney Rhoton, whom he denounced as thief and liar.
 Referring to the Leatham pic, ture incident, he said that when he met Rhoton at Perry after the speaking he went after Rhoton with bis walking stick and ran him into the depot. He declared that the chef of the Little Rock police had said the picture oi Davis found in Mrs. Leatha am's rooms was one cut out of news paper. Some one in the crowd yelled "Hurrah for Rhoton," and Davis retorted that the man who said that had no respect for his mother, wife or sisters.
 Ben L. Griffin came in for his full share of attention. Dav'S read letters and circulars showing that Griffin had secured the naems of union members for Dona- ghey, and called ou the secretaries of local unions who were present to know if they did not receive such letters. Three secretaries identified the letters shown as being the same as they had re- ceived. At this juncture there were several shouts for Griffin.
 Once when the senator was attacking Donaghey there was a decided demonstration for the Conway man, and Davis asserted that it came from a little towr crowd.
 Although circulars had been sent out stating that the candi' dates for prosecuting attorney and chancellor would also speak today, the crowd did not number $50, and the senator was not able to awaken anything like the en' thusiasm that he has here on for mer occasions.
 He said that Donaghey would be worse beaten than Bob Roger: and that the fight was between Kirby and Hinemou.
 Hal l.. Norwood spoke aftel the senator had concluded.
 Regarding the Perry inciden referred to above the following report was sent out from tha town:
 "Senator Davis was at one eut of the platform, almost behint the depot building, when Mir Rhoton crossed the railroad track and started to enter the ticke office.
 .'Come here, Rhoton; 1 want t speak to you" said Senator Davi his face livid with emotion.
 ''I don't care 10 discuss any thing with you, except in join debate, replied Mir. Rhoton.
 "Well, come here just a min ute," insisted Senator Davis.
 "You come out here in the opei if you want to talk to me-" sait Mir. Rhoton.
 Thereupon Senator Davis turn ed upon his heel and no fur ther conversation took place be tween him and Mir. Rhoton whil the two were at Perry.
 Senator Davis did not evel make any threatening overtures did not raise his stick toward MT Rnoion and there was no como tion whatever.

interesting facts concerning the mod

He says: "Since the advent of this
convenient two wheeled means OF

provements have been brought about
However, during. these many years in
which the bicycle has been in use, the
National wheel still retains its high
standard for durability and perfect me-

other makes have been cheapened, both
in quality and price. while the National

dissemination of knowledge by the
press is responsible to a degree for the
laxity of church attendance, the real
cause lies in the fact that the pulpit
has not assumed enough authority for
itself.
The church of today should not
give currency to the belief that the
pulpit is fettered by the traditions of
the Bible. 1 do not mean to be un-
derstood that the time honored beliefs
