Wife of Wealthy indian Seeks Sep
aration.


Tulsa, Okla, March 27.-An allow
ance of $50 a month and the Gus
tody OF their 3-year-old daughter is
asked for in a petition in a divorce
filed in the circuit court by Gertrude
Perryman against her husband, Hen
ry Perryman, son of the late Chief
Perryman of the Creek Nation.
In the complaint the husband is
alleged of a sullen. morose dispo-
sit!on, uncompanionable, shiftless,
quarrelsome and accused of having
continually "toted" a six-shooter on
his person. These are the grounds
on which the plaintiff has based her
action for divorce.
Perryman is a Creek Indian, and
is said to have received an allot-
ment of land valued at $4,000 from
the Creek Nation. This, it is al
reged, he has sold; that he squan-
dered the money through continued
dissipation: and that when his own
property was disposed of, he, by
means of threat, caused his wife to
mortgage property to the amount of
$4,000 with which he met his per
sonal obligations.

GUTHRlE'S CLAIM THE STATE
CAPITOL WAS PRESENTED IN
BRIEF FORM TODAY.
ORAL ARGUMENTS NEXT WEEK
Six Lawyers in Washington Repre-
sentins Guthrie Contend That the
Act of the State Legislature in
Removing Is Unconstitutional.

Washington, ID. c., March 2S.-
The fight over the removal of the
Oklahoma capital from Guthrie to
Oklahoma City began in earnest to-
day in the United States supreme
court, when Guthries claim was pre-
sented in a printed brief
Both sides are to argue the case
orally next week.
The six lawyers representing
Guthrie contend that the act of the
Oklahoma state legislature in remov-
ing the capital from Guthrie was un-
constitutional because the enabling
act of congress, under which the
state was admitted to the union,
provided that the capital should re-
main at Guthrie until 1913.

REPUBLICAN MAJORITY
WILL Be MINORITY

Washington, d. c., March 2S.--
The republican majority of the
house of the Sixty-first congress
having been changed INTO a min
ority in the Sixty-second congress,
the question OF the minority lead
ership of the party arises con,
spicuously and gravely for the first
time in sixteen years. In the FIJI
ty-second congress, when the demo.
Gratis had captured the house, for
mer Speaker Thomas B. Reed was
accorded the leadership without
question. This time it is evident
that former Speaker Cannon will
have opposition, if it is undertake
en- to make him the minority lead
er. This is manifest from the dis
cussion of other house republicans
for the post Among those men
toned with more or less insistence
are Representative James Il. Mann,
of Illinois, and Marlin =. Olmstead,
of Pennsylvania.
1t is just possible that ex-Speak-
er Cannon will solve the problem
by declining to be candidate, in
which event it is thought Repre-
sentative Mann will be selected.

established in Boston, New York,

Arrangements will be made with the

death of Addie Joss. 1 did not
know he was seriously i'll. I al
ways considered joss one of the
greatest pitchers in baseball.
Ever since broke into the
American League I have admired
him, not only as a player, but as
a man, and his untfmely death
comes as a personal loss to me.
This is the first time in Johnson's life
he responded to a request from a news
paper outside of Washington and showed
how deeply he was affected by the news
of the Cleveland pitchers death.
Yesterdays heavy rain gave the Florida
avenue ball yard a thorough sousing

few games of checkers and whist within

If the rain lets up to-day and the sun
comes out sufficiently bright, it is be-
ueved that a game can be played this

There will be no double-header because
of a league ruling which precludes matt
nee attractions of this sort until the
clubs have all made the circuit once.
Pitcher Harvey Bussey left yesterday
for his home in Wilmington, n. c.. and
has several offers under consideration.
Bussey made a big mistake by not

he had tucked up his sleeve. He claims

Had Bussey shown big league caliber
he would have been retained instead of
Sherry, but his dilatory tactics, If such
really was the case, convinced McAleer
that he had better hold on to the latter
and release Bussey.
Sherrys advantage over Bussey was
Clearly shown in one of the practice
games when these two were pitted
against each other. The former worked
like Trojan. Every ball he heaved to
the catcher had something on it, the
| result being that he won his game and
allowed only few safe hits. On the
other hand, Bussey did not seem to care
about mixing up curves and speed, and
was lambasted all over the lot.
Sherry has a heap to learn about
| pitching before he will make much Of a
showing in the major league, but he is
willing worker and possesses something
Bussey lacked-a big physique. There
is no reason why Sherry should not be
able to deliver the goods.
