CONSTITUTION OF
 OKLAHOMA IS GOOD

Baltimore January 2s.-Senator Robert Owen of Oklahoma, speaking tonight at the annual banquet of the Merchants and Manufacturers association of Baltimore, said that the constitution of Oklahoma was written in the light of the experience of every state in the union, by men learned in the law representing every state in the union. He said that under the constitutioni property was thoroughly safeguarded 1t was safeguarded against the knavery of modern commercial con spiraey, against artifces and craft of or ganized monopoly. It was the intention of the constitution, he continued, to en- courage enterprise, industry, frugality and to enable the citizens who possess the qualifications to enjoy the proceeds of their own labor undisturbed by the artifces of ingenious and less scrupulous men.
 "The people of Oklahoma said Senator Owen, are content with their laws and the advice of monopolists of special in terests to change this constitution and make it sane and sound for the convenience of the plundering element of business life, has not yet reached the heart or the in telligence of Oklahoma.

NO YELLOW STREAK
 IN MR. GOMPERS'

New York. January 2s.-sAs good men have been in jail as any of the three of Us. If they want their pound of flesh they may have it but they'll find no yell low streaks in it"
 President Samuel Gompers of the Amer ican Federation of Labor told the Ethical Social league this at meeting tonight, and the audience cheered. Mr. Gompers' subject was Trade Unions and Social Progress" but the greater part of his speech was a defense of the boycott and guarded arraignment of the court that recently sentenced him to a year in jail
 The Sherman law. MT. Gompers said, enacted to protect the people from the machinations of combinations of wealth. has within nine months been decided by the supreme court to apply to organiza- tions of men and women.
 'In regard to the strikes and the boy cott,' he said. T don't like strikes, but a dog that can bite is safe from many a kick. There is no. power like a we'll organized union to prevent strikes.
 T don't like to boycott. There is not a man, woman or child toward whom I have i'll will; but there are some won't deal with. some to whom I prefer to give my trade rather than to others When two people agree to do this it is a boycott. Our forefathers would not buy English tea or buy from those who bought it-talk about secondary boycotts. . They tell us the boycott is a foreign in- vention. It Is not; it is revolutionary American. From Adams time it has been a natural weapon of mankind, and for a court to throw itself into a spasm be- cause the word is not euphonious is aI- most incomprehensible to rational be- ingS.
 q repeat again." continued he impress sively, that when 1t comes to obeying court order that infringes the constitution I shall have no hesitation in upholding the constitutional guarantee

MORE TROUBLES
 FOR MACREYNOLDS

Guthrie Okla. January Swallowing the receipt of a photograph from Superin- tendent C. ". Briles of the Muskogee public schools today, Gov. Charles N. Haskell issued a statement in which he purported to charge Scott MacReyn- olds, representative of ". R. Hearst with being formerly a convict from De- troit. The photograph is alleged to have come from the rogues gallery at De troit and bears the number "6s." After alleging that MacReynolds has been searching for evidence against Haskell in connection with the government land fraud probe at Muskogee, the statement recites the indorsement on the back Of the photograph by W D. Aston of Green vile, Tenn, a nephew of former Governor Taylor, which is as follows:
 You will recognize it as Scott Mac Reynolds He served a term in Detroit under the name of Mark Van Houghton. Copy of '6S.' from rogues gallery, Detroit, Mich"
 The statement continues with a further alleged exposure of MacReynolds' college career at the Iowa university, and ends with a defense of Governor Haskell 8 course in defending himself against the attacks of such contemptible men and measures"

FEW CHANGES IN
 SENATORIAL VOTE

Springfield. Ills, January 8.-But one senatorial ballot was taken in the joint session today, and it was void of inter esting results.
 Under Joint resolution the two houses adjourned until 10 o'clock Tuesday morn- ing, consequently there will be a lull at the capital during the senatorial dead- lock until Monday at least. The weekend adjournment transfers the scene of con fiict to Chicago, and many members will spend part of the time between now and Tuesday there.
 Minor changes occurred when the rolls of the senate and the house were called, with the net result that Senator Hopkins has one vote less than Wednesday,; the Foss vote remains the same; Shurtleff fin- ished with one less, and Yates doubled his holdings from two to four.
 On the twenty second ballot the total vote in the joint session was:
 Hopkins 72, Foss 19 Stringer 74, Shurt- Jeff IA. Mason 4, Mckinley 1, Lowden |. Calhoun 2, Sherman ?, Yates 4
 Constitutional majority of joint session 109
 Majority of members present and voting 97; no choice.
 After the twenty second ballot the joint session arose. Joint balloting will be re- stunned next Tuesday at noon.

CONFERENCE ON
 CENSUS TAKING

Washington, January 2s.-The House of Representatives today adopted the conference report on the bill providing for the taking of the thirteenth census. The most important action in connec- tion with the measure was the accep- tance of the Senate provision. author izing the printing of the census re- ports by private concerns, should such a course be deemed advisable, on the score of cost, better work and expedi- ton.
 In urging this proposition, MT. Taw- ney of Minnesota charged that the in- fluence of certain organizations was responsible for the high cost of print ing in the government establishment. He said that members should not be frightened about the government of fee having plenty of work to do. The special session, he said, was near at hand. There is no excuse" he con- tlnued, for any man voting against this proposition on the ground that the labor organizations are In any way concerned"
 Every man In the government of fees, he said, would be kept at work Just the same, while the private print CTS would receive the benefit of the legislation. Tt is purely a matter of business common sense." he declared.
 A number of members rallied to the aid of the government shop but the temper of the House from the outset was against them.

ROOT SPEAKS FOR
 STATES RIGHTS

Albany, N. Y, January B.-United States senator-elect Elihu Root today addressed the senate and assembly. MT. l Root, who was greeted with rounds of applause, said, in part:
 T have a rather uncomfortable sense that it will be quite impossible for me to live up to the many kindly and delightful 1 things that have been said about me by my friends in the state of New York I during the past few months."
 Discussing states rights. MT. Root said:
 Evidently. if the powers of the states are to be preserved and their authority is to be continued, the states must exer- else their powers. The invitation to the national government to assume this and that duty within the limits of state ls an invitation to set up a national power to the exclusion--the ultimate exclusion-of state power"
 Prefacing his statement that he was opposed to the direct election of United States Senators and the initiative and referendum, Mr Root said:
 Because I believe in maintaining the two grants of power of the con stitution maintaining the national pow CT to it's full limit, and still preserv- ing the state power, I am opposed to everything that tends to belittle, to dis credit or to weaken the auth ority of the legislatures of the states. You can not take power away from public bodies without having the character of these bodies deteriorate."
 Regarding disputes between states, ha afa ought to concur, consult, exercise con sideratfon and good neighborhood to each other in the performance of state functions in matters which affect other states.
 MT Root pointed out what he be- leiyed were two dangers due to the development of this country. One, he said, was the danger of the national government breaking down, in it's eff fective machinery, through the bur- dens that threaten to be cast upon 1t.
 And the other" he continued, '1s the danger of breaking down the local self-government of the states"
 The tendency of vesfng all powers in the central government at Washington. he said, Ifs to produce the decadence of the powers of the states. Now, do not misunderstood me I am convinced and uncompromising nationalist of the school of Alexander Hamilton. I believe in the exercise of the executive. legislative and the judicial powers of the national gov ernment to the full limit of the eonsti- tutionai grants, as those grants were con strued by John Marshall, and would be construed by him today. But I believe that the founders of the republic builded more wisely than they knew when they set the limits between the exercise of that national power and the exercise of the local powers by the states And while I believe In the exercise of the national power throughout the province of the con- stitutional grants of national power. I believe also in the preservation of state power within the limits of its constitu- tional authority.
 Further than that I believe that the essential quality of free government is to be found in the observance by all public officers of the limits set by law upon their powers"

WAR BALLOONS ARE
 GIVEN COLD DEAL

Washington, January 2S.-Ballooning in America has received a decided setback. according to officials of the war depart ment as a result of the House commit tee on appropriations decision not to set aside a liberal sum for military aeronautics.
 The signal corps desired at least $500 600 for the new branch of the service, assur- ance being given that the dirigible balloon was beyond the experimental stage and was an instrument of much use in time of war as "a competent part of the equip ment of any well regulated army"
 It was pointed out that France has three dirigibles and generally four, while the Italian army is in a measure equipped with them. and reports are that the Rus sian army is adding them to its equip ment.
 The plan was to have this government obtain a number of balloons such as the one acquired last summer.
 When General Allen, chief signal officer, was before the committee, he was ques- toned as to the possibility of firing at balloons with mortars.
 Tt Is not believed that you are going to fight balloon" said the general, with anything but a balloon. You cannot shoot a balloon down with guns, because 1t has a horizontal and vertical motion and nobody can hit 1t. It is almost impos- sible to find a balloon at 1000, even on a moonlight night"

SALOME DANCE IS
 DISAPPOINTING

New York, January 2s-The 1nuch-her- aided production of Richard Strauss "Salome," which had been regarded in anticipation the great event of tie mu- sical season, was given at the Manhattan opera house tonight in the presence of a brilliant audience, which had paid double price for the privilege of hearing 1t.
 The music drama had a previous hear ing in New York two years ago at tho Metropolitan opera house, but the per- trayal of the dance of the seven veils,n which forms one of the chief features of the opera, aroused such storm of criti- cism that, after a single performance, the Strauss work was withdrawn from the Metropolitan repertoire and never re- peated
 Miss Mary Garden interpreted the dance tonight. There was nothing sensational in her dancing, and those who were at tracted to the Manhattan with the ex- pectation of witnessing the height of realism were disappointed,

Action In New York.

New York, January 2S.-Uncertainty as to what action would be taken on the re- cent suggestion made by District Attorney Jerome in the case of the government suit against the New York World for libel, that the federal authorities suspend their activities and permit him to proceed in their stead was in a measure removed today, by the signing of an affidavit by Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law of the President.
 Although no authoritative announcement to this effect was made it is believed that MT. Rohinson's signing of the affidavit in question means that he has accepted MT. Jeromes proposition to appear as a complaining witness against the World, and that the grand jury of the county of New York is preparing to take the mat ter in hand
 Mir. Robinson was closeted with the district attorney for nearly an hour to- day, but neither would discuss what the subject of their extended conference had been.
 Mir. Jerome declared however, that he had received no reply from either At torney General Bonaparte or United States District Attorney Stimson as to what course the government proposed taking in regard to his suggestion that the state proceedings be given right of way in the matter.
 Another visitor received by MT Jerome today was Jonas Whitley. a representa- tive of William Nelson Cromwell, who was one of the early witnesses called before the federal grand jury in Washing ton. MT. Whitley left after signing deposition before Magistrate Krotel.
 Although this deposition was not made public, it is understood to recite the fact that the day before the publication of the article, since alleged to have been libelous MT. Whitney called at the office of the World and notified those in charge of the paper that allegations contained in the article in question were untrue, especially as they referred to MT Cromwell, whom he represented.

AMERICAN NAVY
 GAINS FRIENDS

Paris. January 2S.-Henry White, the ambassador from America, has returned from Riviera enthusiastic over the recep- tion accorded the American fleet and con vineed that It's visit to France and other countries will give the people abroad a new idea of the American navy The splendid appearance of the officers and the happy, intelligent bearing of the sturdy blue jackets, produced favorable impression which was augmented by the spirit of loyalty and devotion pervading the naval forces of the United States
 The ambassador visited each battieship at Vfllefranche and Marseilles and learned that they were all in practically as good condition as when they started on their voyage around the world. The Temps re- echoes the ambassadors impressions and congratulates the United States on the possession of such a fine navy
 The Temps pays a tribute to President Roosevelt as the one who built up the American fleet which, 1t says, is so indis- pensable to the United States in the maintenance of her new position in the front rank of world powers In this con- nection the Temps points out that Fran co-American friendship stands as a pow erful factor for the peace equilibrium of the world

GRAND JURY WILL
 RESUM ME SETTINGS

Washington, January 8.-J. Angus Shaw, secretary of the Press Publishing company. which publishes the New York World, has been subpoenaed and will ap- pear with others before the federal grand jury, which will resume it's sittings in this city tomorrow to continue it's inves- tigation into the Panama libel case.
 Five or six subpoenas have been served in New York, it has been learned, all of them on persons connected with the World
 Even if the federal authorities in New York make way for MT. Jerome, and allow him to bring the case before a county judge, 1t will not interfere with any ae- ton which the federal authorities may take here. 1t is authoritatively stated.
 State proceedings may be going on in New York, even with the same person as complaining witness, at the same time that the government Is pushing the case here. Whether Mr Bonaparte would make way entirely for MT. Jerome, or whether he would simply turn the New York end of the case over to him, has not yet been determined

AGAINST CHANGE
 OF SHERMAN LAW

Washington. January 28.-Senator Nelson. on behalf of the committee on the judiciary, has presented a report to the Senate recommending the in- definite postponement of the bill amending the Sherman antitrust law. After giving many reasons why the law should not be changed at this time. the report says
 "To amend the antitrust act as sug- gested by this bill, would be to en- tirely emasculate it, and, for all prac- tieal purposes, render it negatory as a remedial statute. Criminal prosecu- tions would not lie, and civil remedies would labor under the greatest doubt and uncertainty. The cast, as it ex- 1sts, Is clear, comprehensive certain and highly remedial. It practically covers the field of federal Jurisdiction. and is In every respect a model law To destroy or undermine it at the pres ent juncture, when combinations are on the increase, and appear to be as ob- livious as ever of the rights of the pub lie, would be a calamity"

 BY WIND, STORM

Guthrie, Okla, January 2S.-With a gale blowing at 60 miles an hour, the air filled with dust, Northern Oklahoma this afternoon endured the most severe wind and sand storm of the last Ave years
