 In connection with the recommendation for employment under the certificate sys- tenn the provisions of the Kentucky law are indorsed, and it is further reconf- 4.f.. tion of all births be adopted by every southern state to insure proper issuance of certificates.
 Heated Discussion.
 An earnest and at times rather heated 1 discussion followed the submission of ma jority and minority reports by the com mittee on resolutions. The minority report recommended that the governors of the southern states each appoint a commission to examine into the child and woman labor conditions in their respective states, especially as 10 cotton and other textile industries, and that this joint commission, after a thorough and impartial investigation of the true condi- tions, recommend the passage of a uni- form child and woman labor law.
 After the entire afternoon session had been devoted to an argument on the re- spective merits of the two reports, and a severe criticism of the minority re- port indulged in, in some instances, the minority members announced that they would withdraw their recommendations.
 At the morning session of the confer ence Oliver R. Lovejoy of New York. gen. eral secretary Of the national child labor committee, made an address in which he declared that the south wants capital, but that capital must conform to reason able statutes for the solicitous guarding of the welfare of childhood.

Search for Crazy Snake.

0CdfCU VI 1EJ S''oNS'
 Hickory Stamping Grounds, by Courier to Henryetta, Okla, March 3o.-Crazy Snake. leader of the uprising of his clan of negroes, half-breeds and Indians of the Creek nation is reported still at large tonight, although it is believed that his capture cannot be delayed much longer.
 He is likened by those who know him to Sitting Bull, in point of intelligence and determination, and bent upon his death or capture, the 100 men of the First regiment, Oklahoma National Guard, and posses of deputy sheriffs are securing the hills and river bottoms for scores Of miles in every direction.
 The troops here set out in heavy march, ing order at daybreak, each man carry ing "A hours ratfons and 40 rounds of new Springfield ammunition. During the day five prisoners were brought back to the base here but none seemed of i'm portance.
 Indians Surprised.
 Many Indians coming from distance to attend a pow-wow called by Crazy Snake to hear his report of his mission to Washington during the winter did not know there had been an uprising. A trace of wonderment was to be seen on their stolid faces when the news was given them They were placed under restraint, however, for fear that they might be just as willing to fight as to listen to the harangue they had come to hear
 There seems to be no reason to believe that there will be general encounter with the fugitives.
 Ambuscades in some force, however are not impossible, although Major Barrett and other officers left in charge at Camp Hickory predict that there will be little shooting from this time on. Crazy Snake is thought to have few followers in his immediate party These, however. are understood to be well mounted and well armed members of his light guard who are sworn to follow every command of their leader. They are supposed to be about 20 miles from here tonight in the vicinity of the North Canadian river.
 Colonel Hoffman bivouacked near Stid- man tonight.
 Communication Slow.
 The signal corps of 20 men arrived to- night and tomorrow will attempt to run a telephone line seven miles between here and Henryetta At present communfca- tion is very slow over the mountain road.
 The list of fatalities since the trou- ble began reduced to basis of con- firmed facts is not large. consisting of Deputies Odom and Baum, who were killed In the performance of their duties and Dick" Barnett, Creek negro. Despite reports of clashes, Bar nett's body Is the only one of Crazy Snakes band which has been found, and if is the belief of Indian Agents Baker and Farrer and of militia of 6cars that is the only death loss suf- ferad bv the Indians thus far. It is nrohably true that some Creeks were

 Residents of that region are frightened over reports that the Seminoles are arm ing to join Crazy Snakes band. Negro agitators worked among the Indians to incite an uprising. One story declared that the Seminoles marched in armed bodies This was not confirmed.
 The section of the Seminole nation where trouble is reported tonight is peo- pied largely by negroes, and until re- gently was the favorite rendezvous of the Casey Swofford and Craven bands, which were exterminated in fight at Weewaka Mills five years ago.

FREAK LEGISLATION.

What an uninteresting world this
would be if it were not for the
picturesque and asin1ne reform
ers" who bob up at every session
of the various state legislatures and
seek to attract attention TO them
selves by their performances in
seeking to enact freak legislation.
Here is a member of Minnesota's
law making body who has intro
duced bill the provisions of which
require that all proprietary medi-
cines of any kind must bear a label
upon which is stated the name of
every Ingredient contained therein,
together with the eract proportions
used Of each, The author of the bill
is a doctor. There would be about
as much sense in requiring a sue
cessful physician to inform the pub
lie exactly what remedies he gives
in treating all cases, so the patients
could treat themselves without his
services. It would also be as rea-
sOnable To require a merchant to
plainly mark the exact cost as well
as the selling price upon his goods
so that the public might know
whether he gets too much profit.
How lovely it would be to apply the
principle to every kind of business
all along the line, so that the men
who haddevoted their talents and
years of ardent toll aud study to the
attainment of knowledge in their
particular lines should be compelled
to take the world into their confid-
ence and give away this knowledge
TO any who might wish for it.
No manufacturer of a meritori-
Gus proprietary medicine is going to
be willing to reveal the secret by
which his remedy is prepared.
Neither should he be expected to.
The pure food and pure drug law
passed by congress a couple Of years
ago quite fully protects the public
along such lines,

rheumatic twinges.

would change to sharp, shooting
twinges and I could not get about.

Will Investigate Primary.

1t appears now that there will be
an investigation by the Legislature,
not only as TO how money was used
in the primary by Senator Stephen
son. IN his canvass, but also by the
other candidates, which is the fair
thing to do.
AFTER work1ng Tor nearly three days
the conferees of the two houses
reached an agreement, which, if ap-
proved by the senate and assembly
today, will result in thorough in
quiry.
The resolution provides for the APP
pointment by the presiding officers OF
each house of three senators and Ave
assemblymen to Investigate fully
thoroughly, and fairly into the man
ner, means, and method by which the
last primary campaign is claimed to
have been corruptly or unlawfully con-
Quoted, and every charge of corrupt or
unlawful conduct or acts on the part
of any candidate for United States
senator in the last primary campaign
and primary election
In the meantime a joint ballot will
have to be taken each day at noon un-
til an election occurs, but it is prob
able that an agreement will be reached
so that one member can cast the full
vote for each candidate, and thus spare
all members the drudgery of climbing
the stairs to the assembly chamber
each day just as that tocsin of the soul,
the dinner bell, is sounding.
A bill has been introduced by As
semblymen Hull to change the
September primary from the first
Tuesday to the fourth Tuesday in
September.
Representative Roethe, of this
assembly district, has introduced
bills to abolish the state tax COM
mission, county supervisors of as
sessment, jury commissioners, game
wardens, state bureau of vital
statistics, civil service commission
ers, medical depa1 tment of state
university, county supervisors of
highways, state board of imm1gra-
ton, state fire marshal
The assembly has passed the
Lyons bill making Lincoln's birth
day legal holiday.
