During the afternoon the western
deputy gave an exhibition of a some
what different nature. He was see
ing the sights of the city in company
with Sheriff Bruner and on their
travels they stopped in at refresh
ment emporium. as Schiffner stated he
was thirsty and that his pipes were
getting rusty" In the saloon was a
colored man and the sight of a dusky
face standing at the very same bar
with MIN melted the westerners an
ger. He insisted upon reading the
riot act to the colored fellow, who was
helpless before him and who had to
submit TO the lecture with the best
grace possible. Schiffner warned the
negro that il was a fortunate thing
that he had not seen him in Oklahoma.
as there he would have been compelled
to shoot the darby up on general prin-
ciples for daring to come into the same
saloon with a white man. The unof-
Tending negro finally got out of his
predicament when Schiffner began pay
ing his attention to the contents of his
glass and the town was spared a pos
sible tragedy.

Thursday passed the Rucker resolu-
ton proposing a constitutional amend.

the Democratic platform measures
passed by the house. 1t went through
without modification and with a speed
that brought protests from the Repub-

The resolution, as the house ap-
proved it. is in the form of the Borah
resolution reported out of the senate
judiciary committee in the closing
hours of the last congress. Repub-
lican opposition to the Rucker resolu-
ton In the house was based on the
fact that 1t did not contain the
changes made in the fight in the SEN
ate. which assured to congress con
tinued control over elections in the
several states.
