From the Boston Transcript.
Oklahoma will no doubt have a new
state capital in time, although the
legal complications which are follow
ing the popular vote to change the
seat of government from Guthrie to
Oklahoma City indicate the intense
feeling which has been aroused, and
show that the baby state is passing
through an experience which large
part of the older states have known.
Fewer than half of the states have
now the same capitals which they had
when admitted to the Union In fewer
still is the capital the same as it was
under a Colonial or territorial form
of government. Some of the states
have had in turn three or four capi-
tails.
Usually the change has been for the
sake Of more central location,
Though two or three of the Atlantic
lCoast states, in moving their capitals
Iback from the seaboard. had in mind
the greater security from invasion by
a foreign foe. In the original colonies
the chief settlement was naturally the
learly seat of government-as Boston,
Philadelphia, New York, Portsmouth
Savannah and Charleston. Massachu
lsetts is one Of the few old states in
which no change has been made, and
even there an attempt was made some
years ago to transfer the capital tc
Worcester. Rhode Island and Con
lnecticut had for long time two capi
tails each, as a curious survival oi
colonial conditions, and it is only ii
recent years that Newport and New
Haven have been stripped OF theil
: ancient honors. New Haven ceased tt
: be a Connecticut capital in 1873, bu
Newport continued to be one of the
capitals of Rhode Island until 1900
Rhode Island, in fact, in the early day
lhad no fewer than five capitals at th'
same time-South Kingston, Eas
, IGreenwich and Bristol in addition t
:, the two which shared the honor to
gether all through the nineteenth cen
tury.
! In New York the capital was locate
at Albany in 1897. The original sea
of government, of course, was Ne'
q York City, and for time Jamaica
II NlLong Island, now part Of the Boroug
Of Queens, shared this honor Afte
Y the revolution the first state legisl'
ture met at Kingston and continue
s. to meet there several years. Then
met once or twice at Poughkeepsie b
fore Albany was determined upon
s the permanent capital.
When the district of Maine was a
mitted to the Union, Portland W;
made the seat of government and co
& tinued so for ten years Then, f
H the sake of a more central locatio
tie change was made to Augusta,

WEST OBJECT OF
COURTS SALL|ES
New phase to Capital Removal Case
Developed at Yesterdays Hearing
Before Supreme Court

Guthrie, Okla, July 1.--Oklanoma
state capital controversy assumed
new and larger proportions through
the presentation of Attorney General
Vests application for writ prohibit
ing ending the jurisdiction OF the as
trict court pending injunction case.
For nearly three hours the states at
torney addressed the Conversations
suDreme court along the same lines
pursued in his arguments on demur-
rers in the lower court During that
time members of the court Piled him
with questions and pretty generaiiy
grilled him on every point raised.
Attorneys Burford, Dale and Hor-
ner. counsel for Guthrie, appearing IN
This action for Judge Huston and
County Attorney Hepburn, the deIeno-
ants were given all day Friday with
in which TO file a return to the West
application. The attorney general
was permitted to argue yesterday art
ernoon. the Waters-Pierce case requir'
ing his presence in st. Louis at once
to take dispositions. The Guthrie law
Ters will present their case today, and
Judge B. F. Burwell will close for the
governor.
A new phase Of the case developed
when Associate Justice Williams ques
toned the attorney general along thf
lines Of bringing out possible inter
nretation Of the capital removal bill
in conjunction with the enabling act
implying that it was the intention tha'
the capital should be located but no
moved until 1913.
Attorney General West attempted
to cover in his argument every phas'
Of the capital questions of the court
When he found himself unable to an
swer satisfactorily many Of the ny
pothetical questions designed to ez
nose or defend the logic of the govel
nor's action he fell back invariably o
the lack of power Of the county a
torney to maintain the Injunction az
ton in the district court.
Mr.. West asserted that the only po
sible action on the state capital cas-
would be suit by the United State
against the state in the supreme coul
of the United States. The sallies
the court which frequently appeare
tb be at the expense Of the attorne
general, brought forth mild bursts
merriment which the dignified judge
and the bailiff quelled sternly wit
loud raps. When Mr. West read a
old decision of the United States 9
preme court in the case of the Cher
kee Indians against the state of Geo
gia, to the effect that only by VIZ
and subjugation could the state e
pect to extend its laws over the !
dian tribe. Justice Williams enquire
If the attorney general hoped to NAL
Governor Haskell perform his du
by war and subjugation.

GLASS FACTORY PROBABLY
WILL LOCATE IN VINITA

That the prospect Of locating a glass
factory here is exceedingly bright is
the opinion of Jack McCurry, who re-
turned last night from st. Louis,
where he had been to consult with
the officials of the Alton Glass COM
pany relative to the establishment of
factory here. Representatives will
visit this city soon and it is probable
a deal will be closed.

trees or caves by day, they are seldom

They seize their prey by the throat

In the great mountain ranges of cen

thick. woolly coat and long tail like
a fur boa. The color is white. clouded

or darker gray. The eyes are very

difference in size and color between
leopards from different parts of the
world. On some the ground color Is
