TALLAHASSEE April 13.-After a
somewhat stormy discussion. which
lasted for over an hour, the Senate
yesterday afternoon voted 10 declare
Senators Louis c. Massey and I. y.
~withers eligible to their seats in the
Upper House OF the Legislature.
The discussion was precipitated by
the submitting Of an unfavorable re-
port upon the two resolutions Of Sen
ator Beard attacking the eligibility Of
the two Senators by the Committee
on Privileges and Elections. Senator
Beard wished to have the two cases
set for a special order Friday morn
ing. but was voted down.
During the discussion over the mat
ter some hot talk passed between
Chairman Cone OF the committee and
Senator Beard, and some Of the other
members who were divided on the
question also expressed themselves
rather strongly. Senator Beard init
mated strongly that the committee
had not gone into the matter as deep
ly as IL should, and Senator Cone on
the other hand retOrted that he con
sidered IL up to Senator Beard. who
was pressing the matter, to bring any
evidence he might have before the
committee.
Senator Beard wanted a resolution
passed setting the hearing of the mat
ter for a special order Friday. and
calling the Railroad Commission and
the Internal Improvement Fund Trus-
tees TO. produce their minutes TO be
used as evidence to prove the en-
>ployment OF the two gentlemen re-
spectively. There were repeated roll
calls upon various phases OF the ques-
ton but Senator Beard lost. and the
two. Senator Massey and Senator
Nithers. will keep their seats.

Theater- -goers will be interested in
the following letter concerning a com
ing attraction at the opera house:
Oklahoma City. Jan. II, 1908.
II. E. Burt. Esq,
Chickasha, Okla.
Dear Sir: Owing to the recent snow
storms and general bad weather, we
find that It is going to be impossible
for us to open our new $4,000 Metro
politan Theater here on Jan. "a as
we expected. which we are building
as a permanent home for the Metro
politan Stock Company.
This company. headed by Miss Jes-
saline Rogers, for several years lead
ing woman in New York, Philadelphia
and Boston stock companies, has been
engaged, and rehearsing in New York
for the past four weeks, and will ar
rive here Jan. %, expecting to open
the new theater.
As above stated, our opening will
have to be postponed for one week,
and rather than allow them to grow
stale, as it were, we have decided to
keep the edge right on their present
efficient condition, by going en- tour
for one week only. This is certainly
very unique condition Of affairs, and
viii give the people of your city an
opportunity to see this crack organiza-
tion before Oklahoma Cityians them
selves.
The play selected for the opening
is entitled The Three Of U.s." It had
run of a solid year and a half at the
Madison Square Theater in New York
It was originally booked to play at the
Overholser opera house on Sunday
Feb. l. at prices ranging from 25 cents
to $3.50. AS our prices here (which
viii never changel range from 25
cents to ~ cents, Il is our intention to
play you at the same prices, in order
that your patrons may never subse
quently learn the difference, and come
hack at you with the accusation Of
having stung them by charging 81 and
$780, which you might easily do con
sidering this attraction was originally
booked throughout the state at these
/ prices.
You need have no hesitaney ii
heartily indorsing this play or com
pany, as it, is strictly first class il
every sense Of the word and gives
you one Of the opportunities which
local managers so rarely get. and tha
is giving their patrons bully goot
show at reasonable prices Unfortu
nately, the public are apt to confuse
the idea that if the show does no
charge s1.5O it cannot be any good
and this is where I sincerely trus
you will exercise all the influence il
your. power in our behalf
Yours very truly,
