Will SUBMIT BILL
To THE Legislature
Provided the Governor Will Allow Its
Consideration-New Plan Proposed
by Superintendent Of Education Cur
rie to Be Submitted.

Citizens of South Mississippi and
Hattiesburg especially, will be graft
fled to learn that an effort will DE
made to bring before the next legisla-
ture a matter in which they are vi
tally interested and which has prob
ably been more generally discussed
in this section than any question
which deals with the public welfare,
that of an equitable and just distri-
button of the public school fund.
In conjunction with Superintendent
of education E. ]. Currie, Hon. Stokes
V. Robertson, representative fror1 For
rest county, is now working upon
plan which, if adopted, will undohbt
edly furnish, they think, the most rea-
sonable and just solution If The mat
ter, and those who have studied the
question and are familiar witch the
plan which is being formulated by
these gentlemen say that it is ihe
only real practical and equitable soIu-
tion of this most difficult problem,
which has yet been offered.
Take 1t Up With Noel.
While it is not the intention of Mr.
Robertson to make public at this time
the details of the plan. .he matter
will be taken up as early as possible
with Governor Noel, and a strong ef-
fort made to induce the chief execu-
tive to allow its discussion at the
next session of the legislature. ond to
embrace it in his message to that
body, and owing to the importance of
the subject it is thought that the Gov
ernor will not be adverse to its con-
sideration then.
Messrs. Robertson and Currie re>
alize that this is very difficult and
delicate proposition to handle, and
are expecting opposition from some
quarters, but if such should ar'se it
cannot be from other than purely sell
fish motives, it is said as their plan
is entirely just and will effect all
counties alike.
If the Governor should allow the mat
ter to be brought up at the next ses-
sion strong and determined fight
will be made to secure the passage of
the measure, and Mr.. Robertson viii
be supported by facts and figrroS in
making his arguments in its FAVOR.
Convinced of Its Justice.
While this plan will involve an
amendment to the constitution and
will undoubtedly provoke an exhaust
i've discussion on the floor of the
House, Mr.. Robertson IS thorongiIy
convinced of the Justice of the meas
ure and will therefore be prepared "a
make a strong fight for its passags.
and those who know him have long
since realized that he is nor-quittcr
when it comes to fighting for his con-
stituents.
If the Governor should permit the
matter to be brought up at the special
session. it is probable that a strcng
delegation from this city will go to
the capital and assist Mr.. Robertson
in securing its paseese' y
a.

Of the Greek national council protest
ing against these methods, and that

GERS Connected with the interior de-
pertinent knew of the methods being
used and that they themselves sug-
gested the plan which was afterward
used in the scheduling Of the lots.
The defense also claims that no at
tempt was ever made BY the defend

the government and that in at least
dozen government townsites Of the

Guthrie, Okla, Nov G-The inter
est Of the entire state is centered upon
the coming decision of United States
Judge John Marshall of Utah upon the
demurrers of Governor c. N Haskell
and others to the indictments charging
conspiracy to defraud the Creek ma
tion in connection with the scheduling
Of town lots in Muskogee. II Judge
Marshall shall sustain the demurrers
the prevailing opinion is that this VIII
end the prosecutions. The calling OF
three grand juries was necessary be
fore the present indictments We're Sc
cured, and it is considered unlikely
that fourth grand jury would be
summoned should the present indict-
ments be found wanting
Should Judge Marshall overrule the
demurrer to the indictments. then the
very unusual spectacle Of a governor
of a state being placed on trial for
an alleged criminal offense would be
witnessed, and series of long sensa-
tional trials, which would require the
attendance of witnesses from several
states of the Union, would result
Some sensational developments may
be expected if the cases ever come to
trial. Attorneys for Governor Haskell
claim that he had no connection with
the alleged conspiracy and that his
name was used as trustee, where it
appeared in connection with the trans,
fers, entirely without his knowledge or
consent. The attorneys also claim that
they can prove that not single one
Of the defendants appeared before the
townsite commission during its hear
ing for the scheduling of town lots
in Muskogee, which were held from
July to August "a, 1901, which they
claim, was the only period during
which conspiracy to schedule lots to
dummies could possibly have been
given life.

COURT OF APPEALS DENIES
LYDIA ROWLAND FREEDOM
BY Associated Press.

by Associated fTe66.
Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 6.--Lydia How
land, serving q life sentence in the
Oklahoma penitentiary for killing her
child with carbolic acid at Chandler, in
1902, was denied her freedom yester-
day by the state court Of criminal ap-
peals upon her application for a writ
of habeas corpus in which she alleged
that the state code Of criminal pro-
cedure was never legally adopted. The
bill in the Office Of the secretary of
state does not bear the signatures Of
the governor, the president Of the sen
ate, nor the speaker Of the lower house
Of the legislature.
The court held, however, that the
code had been legally adopted and dis
closed the fact that the territorial sec
retary in having the acts of the legis-
lature printed in 1890, sent the en-
rolled bill by mistake to the printer
with the result that the bill was cut in
to printers copy" and destroyed.

.CLAREMORE EASY
FOR V|N|TA HIGH
Locals Though Lighter outpIayed
Opponents at Every State Of the
Game-Victory Deserved.

Clearly outplaying their heavier op-
ponents at every stage of the game
the Vinita high school football team
won a well deserved victory from the
Claremore prep" school, on the local
gridiron, yesterday afternoon, by the
score of 20 to 0. This was the fifth
consecutive victory for the local team,
and no team has yet been able to
cross their goal or to score against
them.
The game yesterday was one Of the
most thrilling and spectacular con
tests ever witnessed here. 1t was
repIete with splendid formations and
individual plays Vinita showed great
Improvement in their play since the
game at Tulsa last Saturday. The
whole team played like young demons
from the beginning to end, and only
once during the game did the visitors
have an opportunity or a look in" to
score. That was in the first half when
by two fake plays and by recovering a
punt they carried the ball to the Vinita
fifteen yard line, but there lost it
on downs, and the locals soon carried
it back into Claramore territory,
where ninety-five per cent of the game
was played.
Hates the star right half back of the
"Preps. proved the star of the visit
ing team. Story at right end also
played a splendid game He weighs
probably 1870 pounds and is the fast
est man seen on the local gridiorn this
year, Belew, Vinita's left end was
the bright and particular star of the
locals. Belew is proving the find"
of the season and his work in yester-
days game showed that he win make
good university material. Twice by
his splendid work the locals were en-
abled to execute forward passes that
netted touchdown in one instance
and gain Of about forty yards in an
other. Belew made another touch
down on a well executed criss-cross
play. His speed is remarkable and
he is a fine tackle and his ability in
this line caused repeated losses to the
visitors. Elliott, Franklin, Mars,
Trott, Lionberger and Billingslea all
proved consistent ground gamers and
they worked together so well that to
point out a particular star of that
group would be impossible. Smith the
little quarterback played his usual
fine game and handled the team ip a
manner worthy of the highest praise.
The one feature Of the game that
is deserving Of most praise, however,
was the rapidity with which the locals
formed their interference, both in
scrimmage and on the kickoffs and re-
covery OF punts. This work enabled
them to make some of the most SEN
sational runs ever witnessed on a foot
ball field. Much of the credit for these
formations is due to the persistent
coaching Of Prof. Fitch.
The victory yesterday practically as
sures the high school championship |
for vinita. Muskogee and Oklahoma
City being the only other contestants.
Captain Lionberger, of Vinita won
the toss and chose the west goal to de-
fend, Claremore kicking to them.
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1909-11-06

Billingslea got the ball on the kickoff
and with splendid interference ran
the ball back to the center Of the field.
Marrs and Belew made short end runs
for six yards each Elliott was sent
crashing through the right wing for
three yards. Claremore was then pen
allied for an off side play, but as the
gain was more than the penalty Vim
ita chose to accept the glin. Marrs
skirted the right end for nine yards.
Trott plunged through the line for
three Marrs attempted another end
run and was thrown in such a manner
that for a time it was thought that
his neck was broken. but the injury
was not serious and he continued the
game. Belew went around right end
for six yards. Marrs went for three.
Belew and Marrs could make only
four yards on the next two attempts,
and the ball went to Claremore Oh.
their own ten yard line.
A neatly performed trick play gave
the visitors thirty yards. but that was
all they were able to gain On the
third down they attempted a forward
pass and the ball went to Vinita on the
forty-fve yard line OF the visitors.
Lionberger gained five yards, but the
visitors held and forced the ball into
their hands. The locals held Clare
more without gain for two downs, bvt
an off-side play by Vinita gave Clare
more the ball on the six yard line, and
for the first and only time during the
game it looked dubious for yinita
However, an attempt to make an il-
legal forward pass gave the locals
fifteen yards by the penalty route
