ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION

A dog fight of more than passing in.

and hair-raisings by the setter running
square against the collie and knock
ing him fiat on his back. But the
collie was game and quickly regained
his feet and squared himself for a
fight and the two big dogs stood up
on their hind-legs and fought half
across the street, then they rolled on
the pavement first one on top and then
the other The scrap was so evenly
matched that the crowd of men and
boys drew closer and it was evident
that each pup had friends and, if need
be hackers The setter kept up a
loud and incessant barking as if to
frighten his antagonist and the collie
contented himself with growls and his
great jaws opened and shut like a
iack-knife. The fight lasted fully three
minutes when the collie seized the
setter by the fore-leg and held Oh until
they were pulled apart by the by-stan-
ders.

Moue is Considered Rebuke to Senator Oweu
for Statement Against Hamon- House Re-
considers and Adopts Substitute for Sec
tion of Prohibition Law to Remove
OGcers---New Prohibition Bill
Passes House

Oklahoma City, Jan. ia move of
considerable political significance in
connection with the coming fight on
the reelection of United States Sena-
tor Owen was made in the house We'd
nesday, when that body adopted a reso-
luton inviting Governor Harmon of
Ohio and Governors Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey and Baldwin of Con-
necticut to address the Oklahoma leg
islature When the resolution reach
ed the senate it was laid over for one
day upon motion of Senator Thomas.
The adoption of the resolution by
the house is looked upon as a Haskell
move and intended as a rebuke to the
attack made upon Harmon by Senator
Owen yesterday and to further former
Governor Haskells ambitions to lead
"a Harmon delegation from Oklahoma
to the next democratic national con-
vention, and perhaps also to help Has
kell in making a contest for Owens
seat in the United States senate.
The senate adopted a resolution de-
claring since there are enough Mis-
sourians in the Oklahoma legislature
to man battleship, that James A.
Reed of Kansas City, United States
senator-elect from Missouri, be invit-
ed to address the Oklahoma legisla-
ture.
The house yesterday reconsidered
its former action in voting out the Sec
tion of the neutrality-suspicious.
prohibition measure, which gave the
governor authority to remove and sus-
pend county officers for failure to en-
force the prohibition law. A substi-
tute section offered by Maxey and An
thony was adopted. 1t gives the gov
ernor authority to direct the attorney
general to file accusations with the dis
trict court against any local officer
who is believed to be neglecting the
enforcement OF the law.
The court is given the right to sus-
pend the officer pending a trial, which
must be given within ten days, if de-
manded by the accused. If not, the
case is to be heard at the next regular
term of court and the court is given
power to remove, If the facts justify.
The assusation may be brought with
out the Intervention of a grand jury,
but merely at the relation of the at
torney general upon orders of the gov
ernor.
The bill was passed finally by vote
of 95 to 1.
The senate public buildings commit
tee reported unfavorably the joint res
olution by Kendrick approving the con-
tract made between Former Governor
Haskell and the school board of Okla
homa City for the construction of a
temporary capitol building, and also
reported to not pass the Kendriek bill
making an appropriation of $4,000 for
this purpose to be finally repaid by
the Oklahoma City school board. The
senate voted to approve these reports.
Senator Hatchett did not introduce
his resolution to remove the temporary
capital back to Guthrie. He
stated that Governor Cruce has taken
the matter in hand and that the Okla

Want was made manager of the store.
Instead of s%crubbing the door and car

He read much and was determined to

that the youth was possessed Of more
than the average ability. 1t was with
considerable pleasure that they saw

there Is hardly a mercantile firm OF

WHO THE "BLUENOSES" ARE
Explanation That Possibly May End
Misconceptlon That Has Been
Widespread.

Lots of you folks in the States"
said Thomas F. Mccartney of st.
John, N. B., the other day, call every
body from the maritime provinces
'bluenoses.' That's not it at all. It's
only the Nova Scotians that we call
so. And it's not because the people
there have blue noses, either.
II have met people here who really
thought that folks down east were SO
called because their noses were al
ways blue on account of the cold, raw
climate they suppose prevails there.
THE fact is the term ~'bluenoses'
was first given to the inhabitants OF
the CORVALLIS valley, who were the
original raisers of a potato called the
'bluenose' from it's blush skin. This
potato was shipped to the states in
large quantities, and the name of the
potato became the name of the people
who raised it,"

MADE HIS OWN WAY
Immigrant Boy Becomes a Law
School Professor.
Samuel Want Was Panniless When
He Came From England Ten
Years Ago-Now an Expert
Commercial Lawyer.

Baltimore, Md.-At twenty-five years

Instructor In commercial law at the
eastern high school, a member of the
Maryland bar. and is engaged in other
activities and labors.
The appointment by the faculty Of
the University of Maryland, of which
Chief Judge Harlan is dean, is the
result of sheer force Of merit and
effort on the part Of young Want.
He entered the university in 1907 as
a freshman and was graduated from
the school in June, 1908. He made
the three-year regular course in less
than IL months and the faculty were
quick to appreciate the intellectual
and gifted qualities of the young man.
His special duties on the faculty are
to instruct students in the selection
of books and authorities. The young
professor has had a varied and pic
turesque career made interesting be-
cause he came to this country penni-
