New York In Deadlock

By Associated Press
Albany Jan lS.-The United States
senatorship puzzle is as intricated to-
night as ever. The legislature tried
to choose a Democrat who will suo-
ceed Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew
but not candidate received the ma
Jority Of votes necessary TO elect him
Efforts TO Increase the following OF
W. Sheehan, the leading candidate. or
to unite opposition on any one Of other
candidates, proved frutless
How long the deadlock VIII last not
one ventures to say Mr. Sheehon. with
ninety votes to his credit on the first
joint ballot, and within nine votes Of
election may be no nearer Washing
ton than Martin W. Littleton. or d
Cady Hereick who received but two
votes
In fact there Is a growing impress
sion that Il Shcehan cannot win the
successful candidate IL likely as not TO
be some one whose name has not yet
been proposed.

WHY BOND SALE FAILED.
Attorney for Firm Claims Tulsa Il Up
to the 1--WE Per Cent Limit.

The exact reasons why the bonds

street department in the amount Of
$4,000. and for the incinereting
plant in the amount Of $4,000. as set
forth by the attorney for Seasongood
& Meyer. the Cincinnati firm who ac-
cepted the rest OF the bonds. are
given in a letter received by the city
yesterday.
According to this message several
things stood IN the way Of the buying
firm. The first reason given by
Charles u Wood. the attorney is
that Tulsa Is up TO the per cent linn
It in bonding Itself for other purposes
than for providing for public utilities.
As TO the street and bridge bonds, tho
attorney cites that these were voted
for Waducts. streets and other pur-
poses, while 10 be purchasable they
must be voted for n specific purpose
Touching the incinerator bonds, he
holds that there Is no authority for n
city 20 operate an moderator, and
that furthermore II could not be
learned from the call whether the
plant was to he devoted TO the cre-
nation OF human bodies or was 10
be for some other purpose.
The foregoing firm recently accept
ed bonds on the city of Tulsa In the
sum OF 100000, $4,000 OF which is
for the waterworks department and
100000 for thu sewer work,
