BISHOP INGRAM TRIES
TO REGENERATE LONDON
Noted Prelate interests Wealthy Busi-
ness Men in His Plan to Con-
duct Missionary
Work

LONDON, March 9.-Inspired by the
success of his experience in Wall
street last October the Rt. Rev. Arthur
F. w. Ingram, Bishop of London, made
an appeal in the city this afternoon
which he hopes will largely augment
his fund for the spiritual regeneration
of the metropolis.
The meeting, which was very we'll
attended, was held in st. MichaePs
church, Cornhill. Among those pres
ent was the lord mayor of London, the
sheriff and the most prominent bankers
and business men of tho city in large
numbers. The edifice was so crowded
that even standing room could not be
had.
The service of today, the bishop said,
had its origin in the Wall street serv-
ice of last year, which had aroused
so much interest on both sides of the
Atlaitic. He had been challenged to
rally his men as he had rallied those
of New York, and the present great
congregation was the outcome. The
problem of London's spiritual needs
was the theme of the bishops dis
course and he told his hearers that
having himself given every penny he
possessed he felt entitled to ask their
help to stand by him and make the
bishop of Londons fund first charge
upon their charity, for without work
and money, London, from the point OF
the church, soon would be pagan
place.

MADRID, March 9.-King Alfonso
left for Barcelona shortly after 6
o'clock this evening. He will spend
two days there, it being decided at the
last moment that he should leave
Barcelona at $50 on Wednesday after
noon instead of on Thursday morning.
Some of the Spanish ministers were
opposed to his going. while others
were of the opinion that the danger of
the visit had been greatly exaggerated.
The king himself was not to be dis
suaded. expressing the belief that this
evidence of his determination and cour-
age would be appreciated by his sub
jects and that the visit to Barcelona
would be of great political advantage.
Queen Victoria remained in Madrid.
Senior Maura, the premier. and Cap
tain Fernandez Nino, the minister of
marine, accompanied him on the train.
A dispatch has been received here
from, the Spanish minister to Switzer-
land saying that the anarchists of Ge-

STATE COURTS HAVE
JURISDICTION IN OKLA.
Chief Justice Williams Hands Down
Four Opinions, in Which He
Settles Mooted
Question

BY Associated Press
GUTHRIE, Okla, March 9.-Chief
Justice Williams of the Oklahoma SUI
preme court today handed down four
opinions in which the question of juris-
diction between the state and federal
courts was settled in favor of the state
courts.
The principle involved in the case
was that the enabling act under which
this state was admitted into the Union
and also the schedule of the constitu-
tion provided that the proper state
courts, as successors of the federal
courts should have jurisdiction of all
pending criminal cases not of a fed
eral nature; and the court held that
the crime of murder committed in the
Indian Territory under the general fed
eral statutes against murder would
place jurisdiction in the state courts
by virtue of a federal statute solely
applicable to the Indian Territory,
and this was crime not of federal
nature, and that the proper state
courts had jurisdiction of the same.
The same holding was made as to
the crime of larceny.
