Guthrie, Okla, Aug 3-Fourteen
thousand illiterate negro voters in
Oklahoma have been disfranchised as
a result of the vote yesterday in the
Oklahoma primaries on the grand

the congressional delegation to the
next congress will be contested on
account of the passage of the grand

candidates are victorious in the fall
election. Republican standpat Con-
gressmen Bird Mcguire of the first

probably Randolph Cook of the first.

without opposition by the democrats.

CHINA MAY HAVE
A PARLIAMENT
Believed Throne Has ACceded to
Demands Of Country.

Peking, Nov. lit is believed the
throne has decided to accede to the
demand of the senate and the provin-
cial delegates for the early convoca
tion of a popular parliament.
In the senate, in the presence of the
leading grand councillors, Prince Yu
Liang, member of the grand council
said the entire nation was agreed up
on the necessity of the early establish
ment of general parliament
The senators understood this to
mean their memorial would be grant
ed
The Importance of this concession
scarcely can be overestimated, in view
of the refusal to entertain a similar
request made by the provincial as
semblies last June.
The programme fixed by the late EN-
press dowager provided for the con
stitution of a general representative
legislative body, to be known as the
imperial parliament, in 1915, at the
end of nine-year period of prepara
tion. No sooner had this plan been
made known in degree than popu
lar agitation was begun.

MOISANT SECURES MONEY
Entitled to Prize for Circiing Statue OF
Liberty.

Belmont Park, Nov. John b.
Moisant, the American aviator, is
hailed here as winner of the great
flight to the statue of Liberty in New
York harbor and return for the $4,000
prize offered by Thomas F. Ryan. In
one of the most thrilling races in the
history of aviation Moisant beat his
rivals, Count Jacques de Lesseps, the
Frenchman, and Claude Grahame
White, the English winner of the big
international event on Saturday, easily
distancing his French competitor, but
defeating the victor in the Gordon
Bennett event by only forty three sec
onds.
This margin, however narrow, was
sufficient, although it was thought al
first that the American had not
clinched his victory, as it was under
stood the race was still open for com
petition The Aero Club of America
however, sustained Moisant's protest
against further competition for the
Liberty prize, ruling that the meet as
originally scheduled closed with Sun
days events, Monday being an extra
or added day Thus Moisant wins the
big race and gets the $4,000 prize.
Moisant won in the elapsed time OF
34:3S:24; Grahame-White second in
35:21;30; De Lesseps third in
Al :56:25.

New York, Nov. IA concerted eff
fort is being made by the officials OF
all the express companies doing bust
ness in New York, Jersey City and
Hobohen to break the strike OF the
drivers and helpers. Wagons laden
with matter that has been held up in
the depots for days were started out OF
every barn before daylight. On each
wagon were the driver, two helpers
and from three to ten armed guards
The latter carried shotguns and long
riot sticks, excellently loaded at the
end for head-breaking.
There were no disorders during the
early hours, due to the vigilance oi

boken the entire strength of the force
was massed between the depots and
the ferryhouses. All drivers took the
same route and there was a policeman
on each side of the street at intervals
of five yards. These men kept theil
backs to the wagons and watched the
sidewalks and roofs of houses along
the way All persons were kept NOV
ing The result was that fully loo
wagons were moved without dis
turbance.
The Jersey City police are no long
er using soft measures with the riot
ers. They have been warned that il
there is any more rioting Governor
Fort will rush troops into the affected
cities, no matter what the effect may
be on the present political campaign
The police, therefore, kept their re
volvers in plain sight and known dis
turbers were hustled off the main thor
oughfares.
New York Reserves on Duty.
In Manhattan police reserves pa
trolled the various ferry stations ant
the vicinity of the Grand Central sta
ton.
Whether the strike is to be giver
national character will be deter
mined within the next three days. Dan
iel j. Tobin, national president of tht

sters, sent word from Boston that hi
has organizers at work getting the ex
press drivers in every large city il
the United States into the union. HI
has been promised the support of th'

practically bought 1900 acres. Mr..

"The director of lands joins me in

most thorough investigation of the
whole conduct of the affairs of the
bureau of lands and that this investi-
cation be made on the ground. The
records of the bureau of lands will

Chicago, Nov. 1.-Rate decisions at
Denver, Spokane and other Western
points will cost the Chicago, Burling-
ton and quincy 100000 year.
The old rebating system reduced the
freight revenue of the Burlington from
to per cent
The Burlington is not in as good a
condition to accumulate a surplus now
as it was ten years ago.
These were among the statements
made at the rate hearing by Claude
G, Burnham, vice president of the
Burlington, who was the first witness.
Attorney 7. J Norton, who repre-
sents the railways as a whole at the
hearing, said that he had only one
more witness to introduce. On the
subject of Western rate decisions Mr.
Burnham said:
"The decisions have not been Or
dered into effect as yet, but unless
they are materially modified they will,
Aconservatiyely estimated, cause the
Burlington loss of 100000 an

ing had east of the Missouri and be-
fore the law made the practice illegal.
Rebates were given almost exclu-
siyely ON high class freight" replied
the witness. The result was a rate
that was much lower than was fair
to the railroads. But at no time did
rebates cause more than 5 10 5 pei
cent decrease in the revenue of the

considered the Burlington to be in a
