PROHIBITION CLAUSE NOT
BINDING SAYS ATTORNEY

Oklahoma City, June 2.--Attorneys
in Oklahoma differ as to the bearing
of the state capital decision Monday,
upon the statewide prohibition ques-
tion, and the provision of the enabling
act barring liquor from Indian Terri
tory for 21 years from the inception
of statehood.
w. D. Cardwell, leader of the anti
prohibition forces, now in Los Angeles
made the statement before he left the
state, and of course, before the su-
preme court had spoken, that if the
1913 capital provision was not binding
neither was the prohibition clause.
Corporation Commissioner George
Henshaw expressed the opinion Tues
day that the matter of prohibition in
eastern Oklahoma would be connected
with the general governmental policy
of caring for the Indian, and in that
way separated from the functions
clearly belonging to the sovereign
state only.
Extracts from the debate in con-
gress when the Oklahoma enabling act
was under discussion, show that Sen
ator Bailey of Texas assumed through
out that the state could amend its
constitution in regard to prohibition
at any time after statehood. Bailey
also was the chief adherent in con-
sress of the non-binding effect of the
act capital provision. He
argued in the recent case before the
court.

ENOUGH TO CARRY
BILL IN SENATE
After Week of Hard Work President
Taft Believes He Has Reel
procity Fight Won.

Washington, ID. c., June 2.-Presi.
dent Taft believes he has the reciproc-
ity fight won. And this victory, if it is
one, has come after week of desper-
ate struggling with the opponents of
the measure.
Information was received at the
White House yesterday from the SEN
ate to the effect that the administra-
tion now can depend on enough votes
to carry the bill. The information
came from sources which the presi-
dent regards with confidence.
A little less than a week ago the
president called Senator Root and Sen
ator Penrose to the White House. He
told them he was against any amend
ments to the reciprocity bill in the
senate. In spite Of that, Senator Root
went to the capitol and prepared to
press his amendment. At that time.
the president now believes, the reci-
procity bill was defeated. He believes
that if it had come to vote that day
the Root amendment would have car
ried and with other amendments
which would have had the effect of
killing the trade agreement.
Since then the president has been
1T work. He has called in first one
senator and then another and he has
put the matter up to them with all the
'orce he could. He has appealed to
heir loyalty to the party program and
o such other feelings as might have
effect. The result is that the trade |
lgreement has been saved, if the pres !
dent is not misinformed.
1t is the plan of the senate finance
ommittee to vote on the reciprocity
greement next Wednesday. It prob
bly, will be reported out of commit
ee without recommendation. The ac-
i've discussion will begin after direct
lections is disposed of. That will be
une II. A long debate will follow.

DECLARES LAW TOO ARCHO|C
TO DEAL WITH TRUSTS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., June 2.-E H.
Gary, chairman of the board of direc.
tors of the United States Steel cor
poration, on the stand today. before
the steel trust inquisition committee,
declared that enforced publicity and
government control of corporations
must come, even as to prices. He said
he believed the Sherman antitrust law
too archaic to deal with modern sit
uations and never could fully prevent
great combinations of capital. What
the United States Steel corporation
wanted, he said, was some responsible
and official department Of government
to whom it could go and say What
prices can We charge and just what
can we do"
Increased prices are to be charged
for steel rails, in the near future. ac-
eording to Gary. The higher cost of
labor and raw material together with
the demand for heavier rails is given
as the reason for the advance.

INQUIRY
IS MADE CERTAIN
viii Select Subcommittee of Eight
Saturday to Conduct Inquiry into
the Lorimer Case.

Washington, D. c., June 2.-The sen
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tons, which it was decided last night
Will hear the Lorimer case, will meet
tomorrow and choose a subcommittee
of eight members to conduct the Lori.
mer inquiry.
Washington, D. c., June 2.-Senator
Lorimer faces another investigation at
the hands of his colleagues.
The inquiry will be conducted by a
subcommittee of the committee on
afpy 'Tileges and elections, composed of
Your republicans and four democrats,
four of whom have voted for the con-
Syiction and four for the acquittal of
the senator at the past session.
The method selected is regarded as
the last thing in jury trial. Tt took
seven hours debate to agree upon a
system, and it was finally adopted by
vote of 4S to 20, it being substituted
for the plan urged by Senator LaFol-
lette of turning over the case to six
senator's who were not members when
the case was voted on before and
therefore supposed to be unbiased.
Before the vote was taken Senator
Bristow of Kansas, who favored the
LaFollette plan, accused Senator Dill
lingham, chairman of the election COM
mittee, of eapitulating in the interests
of democrats when they turned the in.
vestigation over to subcommittee.
This charge was based upon the fact
that the author of the resolution which
was adopted, was Senator Martin of
Virginia, the democratic leader.
Mr.. Bristow also claimed that the
"old guard republicans had formed
an alliance with the democrats and
that they had placed the mantle of
Aldrich" upon the shoulders of Mar
tin.
Senator Lee of Tennessee said he
would no more return the case to the
old committee for retrial than he
would submit to a second operation
at the hands of physician who, at
the first trial failed to locate the ap-
psndix.

pare dtoday to meet the attacks on
the proposed reduced schedules that
are to come from the republican min

Washington, ID. c., June 2.-The pro-
posed democratic revision of the wool
tariff, the Underwood bill, was unani-
mously approved by a full democratic
caucus at midnight, ten hours after it
had been made public by the ways and
means committee.
Its endorsement followed rapid ma
neuvering by the democratic house
leaders, who devised a scheme which
disposed of the opposition
of the raw wool schedule. Through
a resolution, which leaves the demo-
Gratis an opening in the future to re-
new an advocacy of free trade in raw
wool, but which omits democrats to
the support of the present bill as a rev.
enue measure, the diverse interests
were brought together.
