contains over $1,000 for rentals for the
legislature and state departments in
Oklahoma City to cover period of
about two months, notwithstanding the
agreement of Oklahoma City to furnish
free rental to the state and an addi-
tional item of $500 for repairs to the
old school house used here as a temp
orary capitol building The senate COM
mittee does not recommend these items
but merely puts them before the legis-
lature.
The senate passed the Webb -Thomp-
son prohibition bill finally, with the
provision allowing county commission
ers to sell confscated liquor eliminat-
ed.
The house Friday adopted the con-
ference report on the Raddie banking

may also include measures submitted

COMPLETE FOR
NASHVILLE CONVENTION

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 24.-With
preparations practically complete for
the gathering of the great Convention
of Southern Merchants in Nashville,
F bruary 28 and the three first days
of March, the executive committee and
the various subcommittee have come
to realization that it is a much more
important undertaking than even they
had expected. When the movement
was launched, it was thought that
something of an educational campaign
would be necessary to bring merchants
to Nashville for the purpose of crystal
lizing public sentiment in regard to
the proposed parcels post law. 1t was
found, however, that southern mer-
chants were already wide awake as
to the significance of the thing, and
that, almost as a unit, they opposed
the passage of any such bill as that
now before congress. Enthusiasm
throughout the entire south came with
out urging and for some time past the
question before the committee has
been, not how to get merchants inter-
ested, but how to take care of them
when they get here
The post office department of the
United States government realizes the
Importance of the convention and,
some days ago. made the request that
a representative Of the department be
allowed to address the convention,
favorably to the bill now pending. The
request was granted and representa-
tive of the department, one of the as
sistant post masters general will ad-
dress the convention.
Among the distinguished speakers
will be John Sharpe Williams, of Mis-
sippi, former governor Benton McMil-
lin of Tennessee and former secretary
of war, Luke e. Wright.
The list of commercial organizations
cooperating with the executive com
mittee in the interest of the conven-
tion includes practically all such or
ganizations of any Importance in the
south. Among the recent ones to line
up are the Chamber of Commerce of
San Antonio, Tex, and the Business
Mems Association Of Owensboro, KY.

Package Containing Money.

by Associated Press.
Pittsburg, Kans., Feb 25.-Mrs. Gus
Joseph, postmistress at the Fuller coal
camp, near here, was held up by two
masked robbers last night and robbed
of ten thousand dollars, which she had
just received by express from Kansas
City.
The money was to have been used to
pay off employees of the Sheridan Coal
company today. The money was sent
from Kansas City last night on the
Kansas City Southern railroad. There
was $30,523 in three packages. The
train arrived at $50 and was met by
Mrs. Joseph and Albert Briggs, cashier
of the coal company. The money was
consigned to the express company, of
which Mrs. Joseph is agent. Mrs.
Joseph took one of the packages con-
tanning $10,523 and left the depot. Just
as she stepped out of the door mask
ed man with a revolver confronted her
and demanded the money. Another
robber stood nearby. Mrs. Joseph
handed over the money. Briggs who
was close behind. saw what was going
on and threw his two packages, CON
tanning ten thousand dollars each into
the corner The robbers did not linger
to determine whether they had secured
all of the money but ran to buggy
and escaped.

OU|ETUS PLACED
ON RECIPROCITY
AS Far as This Session of Congress
Chances of Canadian Agreement
Are Practically Blocked.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25.-Oppon
ents of the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment attempted to put a quietus on
legislation on the subject when the
Mccall bill was reported late Friday
without recommendation, from the
senate committee on finance. SO far
as the present session of congress is
concerned they took long step to-
ward accomplishing their purpose.
The return of the bill to the senate
by Acting Chairman Burrows of the
finance committee was made the occa-
sion for brief speeches both in opposi-
ton and in favor of early action. AS
only few days remain to put the bill
through hostile body the speeches
against it were accepted generally as
its death knelll until resurrection
should come in an extra session.
Senator Hale, who will retire March
4, said the committee had yielded to
public clamor and the charge that the
bill was to be suppressed, and had re-
ported it against the real sentiment Of
large majority of the committee.
He served notice that the bill would
have to go to the calendar to take its
course, and any effort on the part of
anyone. of whatever authority, "to
drive" the senate would be an unwar-
ranted assumption of power
Senator Bailey of Texas, democrat
ic member of the committee, was rec
ognized as soon as the report was pre-
sented by Mr. Burrows
Declaring his opposition to it. he
expressed the opinion that the best
interests of the agriculturists would
be served by the defeat of the bill.
Pointing out some OF the discrimina-
tions from his point of view, the
Texas senator said that while the
agreement admits wheat and cattle
free, 1t retains the duty on flour and
beef meat.
Civilized people eat flour and not
wheat, beef and not CATTLE" he said
True it is that the agreement VI O.
vides for free wood puln, but this
change in the tariff laws will mean
the loss of almost $5OO,OOO of revenue
to the treasury annually"
He had been informed, he said, that
this change would be worth $5,o00.U00
tn tha uamsnopar ond Yoaua,f,o ,>,,h
fishers, but for himself, he said, he
could not consent to a measure which
gives such preference to the rich as
against the poor and needy.
Senator Hale concurred in all that
Mr. Bailey had said, and added that
while the bill had been reported with
out recommendation, the committee
had done so in the face of the fact that
an unquestioned majority otherwise
could have been had for an adverse
report.
Senator Stone of Missouri, a minor
ity member of the committee, an
nounced his intention of supporting
the measure, on the ground that it
will be in the line of wise and progress
sive craftsmanship.
Speaking briefly for a second time,
Senator Bailey said that while OPP
posed to the bill, he would not seek to
delay its passage. The bill went on
the calendar, where it is subject to
consideration whenever the senate
may decide to take it up.

The association will seek, through
state legislatures, to have enacted a |
statute requiring all real estate deal |
ers to procure state license before |
they can transact business, with a !
provision in the law that if any Op. i
