HOT CLASH
OVER PUBLIC
BUILDINGS
"WaicbdOgs'' Finally Wdsted
After Winning Preliminary
Contest
necial TO the DailN Leader.

Special to the Daily Leader
Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. "a
The long pending conflict between
the public buildisgs faction and the
watch dogs OF the treasury In Okla
homa, or administration men began
as expected. in the house OF repre-
sentatives Thursday. The antis won
.he first battle, when they killed by
a decisive vote the Crawford-Roddie

mitory to the Ada normal the pup
lie buildings advocates took the sung
out of the defeat, however, by Win
nisg as decisively In the afternoon

900 for additional buildings and equip
ment al the Alya normal
These two bills are not of the same
class. however, and 1t can not be
said that the favorable action on the
latter offset the defeat Of the form
er. Many members joined IN CON
demning the "dormintory' bills who
opposed very little or not at all the
bill TO give the already established
and prosperous Alva normal more
dents and teachers there.
The fight has been pending ever
since the economy program OF the
house committee on appropriations
went to pieces before the onset OF
the legislators wanting public build
ings at their respective institutions.
The state board Of agriculture, which
is asking some $204, 900 for buildings
for the six secondary schools and a
large sum for the the A. & NJ college
is credited with having made the first
successful assault on the appropria-
tion committee. The breach was
widened beyond repair by representa-.
tiyes of nearly score Of other in
stitutions which wanted new build
ings. The appropriations committee
therefore surrendered its idea OF trim
ming or killing public buildings bills
and dumped all OF them back on the
house to live or die on the floor.
rhe bills thus fayorably reported or

His son seems to have inherited the shy
ness though luckily, not the Ill health.
The czarina has been a constant invalid
since her marriage, and her health was
not improved by the difficulties and
dangers of her married life and the re-
peated disappointments of her hopes for a
son. Her visits to Lvadia and to Hesse
do not seem to have done her very much
good and she is often too weak to take
her walk with her husband. II is hoped
that a prolonged cruise with the car in
the Gulf of Finland and adjacent waters
during the summer may effect some real
improvement in her health.
Two members of the Russian imperial
police-Messrs Alexander Rozoff and Ivan
Arvak-are now in the United States in
search of the famous Romnaoff pearl
necklace, which was stolen from the
czarina. II was an heirloom of the i'm
perial family OF the Romanoffs. The Rus
stan police have taken up the affair most
energetically, and special representations
have been made to the criminal lnvestiga-
ton department in London to watch for
any trace Of necklace or. the suspected
thieves. Similar notices have been sent
to all the European police offices. Traces
of the missing jewels were found in
America and the Russian detectives were
sent to work them out.

EELS KEPT WHERE NEEDED
BY A BARRIER OF LIGHT
Danish Government Aids Fishermen
of the baltic by Using Electric
Lights Under Water.

COPENHAGEN. July 15.-(special to The
Bee.)-The Danish government under the
direction of its biological station at Copen-
hagen, has begun an Interesting effort to
aid the fishermen OF the Baltic by pre-
venting the migration OF cells from that sea
into the ocean. The means employed is a
barrier of light. formed by placing fifty
electric lamps along a submerged cable be-
tween the island Of Fano and the coast Of
Funan. The effectiveness Of such a bar
rier depends upon the fact that the cells
migrate only during the dark hours. Ac-
cordingly as soon as darkness begins in
the season OF migration the lamps are H.
Illuminated and thus wall OF light is in
posed from which the cells recoil. A similar
principle is said TO have been employed
from time immemorial by fishermen on
certain parts OF the coast of Italy.
