Suddenly producing the revolver,
and holding it we'll under the light,
so that the rays from the e~lectrolier
fell directly on its highly polished
surface, he shouted:

spoke not a word. but his eyes be-

the scientific standpoint. the act OF

In his nervous and overfatigued state,
added to his susceptibility to quick

followed up his advantage:

stare. To his subordinate he
shouted: Didn't he. Maloney?"

Maloney.

COMMITTEE ACTION WILL
DELAY RECIPROCITY BILL
BY Associated Press.

~ @honONAeANC0 4 ANGas
Washington, D. c., June 22.-The
senate finance committee today agreed
to report the woolen and free list bills
adversely to the senate, without hear
ings an dat once.
The already tangled situation in the
senate chamber was complicated when
the finance committee reported the
woolen free list bills. The committee
refused to take the responsibility and
cast the burden of the senate legisla-
ton on the democrats and insurgent
republicans. This condition was
brought about last night when the bill
came from the house. The effect of
today's action on reciprocity is prob
lementical The opponents expressed
the hope that it would kill the bill.
Friends said it meant long delay at
least.

TARIFF KILLING
SEEMS ASSURED
Program of Prosressives For Revision
includes the Cooperation of DEM
ocrats in the Senate.

Washington D. c., June 22-The
insurgent republicans who proposed to
the democrats in the senate the other
day that they get together and make
a real killing" on the tariff are going
right ahead with their plans for such
a program. If the democrats make
good on their proposition that the
progressive republicans join with them
and help pass the tariff revision bills
some real legislation along that line
may be expected before the extra ses-
sion adjourns.
Senator Bristow said he believed all
the progressives would accept the
amendments on the sugar and lead
schedules. Senator La Toilette is pre-
pairing amendments to the wool sched-
ule as it was passed by the house.
Other amendments on the cotton and
steel schedules will be submitted. If
the progressives and the democrats
can get together on these measures
they will be passed in spite of the re-
publican majority in the senate.
The possibility of hitch in the pro-
gram arises from the fact that the pro-
gressives desire to make these changes
as amendments to the reciprocity
measure The democrats may object
to this on the ground that such amend
ments might endanger the Canadian
measure.
While the progressives would prefer
to make these changes as amendments
to the reciprocity bill, they would not
balk if the democaats should bring
them forward as distinct measures
after reciprocity is disposed of. What
the insurgents are afraid of is that as
soon as the senate passes the reci-
procity bill there will be a disposition
to adjourn, with the result that the
remainder of the tariff program will
die. Just as soon as the Canadian bill
is out of the way lot of the members
of congress are going to argue that
because of the heat and other causes
it is time to adjourn and leave the rest
of the work for the regular session
which begins in December.
The democrats( however, say that
their challenges to the insurgents Io
join with them and make real tariff
revision possible were in good faith
and that such revision is possible il
the progressive republicans will vote
as they talked Monday. when Senator
Dixon and Senator Crawford demand
ed ''real killing" on the tariff.

he will wear the imperial crown.
The regalia, properly so called,
brought into use at the coronation,
comprise st. Edwards crown, the
sceptre, the virge, or rod Of power, the
orb, or mound of sovereignty; the
sword of mercy, or curtana; the two
swords of justice, temporal and spirit
ual; the ring of alliance with the king
DOM the armillae, or bracelets; the
spurs of chivalry and the sacred and
royal vestments.
The ancient regalia were destroyed
by the republicans in 1649 by order Of
parliament, but were replaced by arti-
cles of similar kind made for the
coronation of Charles II in 1862. These,
together with the crown jewels, are
kept in the Tower of London.
ST. Edwards crown is the official
corwn of England with which the mon
arch is usually crowned, although Ed
ward VII made an exception, as on
that occasion it was merely carried in
the procession. George V will be
crowned with it, afterwards changing
it for the imperial crown in which he
will leave the Abbey.
The original ST. Edwards crown was
destroyed by the republicans in 1649,
and replica was made of it in 1862
by Sir Robert Viner for the Corona

CHANGE OF VENUE IN
BANKING BOARD CASE

Guthrie, Okla, June 20.-The final
court papers were signed Monday at
Kingfsher, transferring from one dis
trict court there to the United States
circuit court here the case of the State
Banking Board VS. the Peoples Nation
al bank of Kingfisher which changed
from state to a national bank on
March Is. This was sixteen days after
the state banking board made special
assessment of / per cent against the
average daily deposits of state banks
to recuperate the banks guaranty fund
The Peoples National bank was one
of the nineteen nationalized state
banks, against which the banking
board recently started suit to collect
the assessment alleged to be due from
such banks when they nationalized
The amount assessed against the King
fisher bank is $2,49099.
The petition for removal, secured by
J. M. Spiece, cashier of the bank, all
leges it is no longer state bank and
that the attempt to collect the guar
anty assessment is taking its property
fos the benefit of others without due
process of law. The amount Of the
removal bond is $500.
In this action Stuart, Cruce and Gil
bert of Oklahoma City, represent the
banking board, and Burwell, Crockett
G Johnson Of Oklahoma City, and

bank. The transfer of the case puts

IN RACE
FOR MORR|S-FLYNN BOUT

Kansas City, Mo-, June 22.-If salts
factory arrangements can be made be-
tween Philadelphia promoters and
Frank b. Ufer, manager of Carl Nor
ris, the Morris-Flynn fight" will go
to that city. Ufer telephoned Jim
Flynn here yesterday saying he would
leave for Philadelphia today to meet
the promoters who have been angling
for the battle" ever since the COVER
nor of Oklahoma barred it from that
state.
Should the eight go to Philadelphia
it will be a six-round affair, without a
referees decision. Both Flynn and
Morris are satisfied with this arrange
ment, so confident is each of his ability
to thrash the other that they say to
schedule longer bout would be folly.
Ufer told Flynn today that he would
send him a check covering his train
ing expenses, the amount to be about
$3.50. Flynn refused to accept Ufer's
forfeit of $500, which he posted to
guarantee that the fight would take
place on July 4.
'He is too good a sport" said Flynn
Until he hears from the Philadelphia
proposition Flynn will continue to train
here.

EXPLANATION OF AMENDMENT
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington d. c.. June 2f-Sena-
tor Roots long expected explanation of
his reciprocity amendment to which
President Taft is opposed, was looked
for in the senate today. Consideration
of the joint resolution on the direct
election of United States senators was
on the house program today Under
woods wool bill passed by the house
last night, will go direct to the senate
but it has never been thought the
measure has a chance of passage this
session. Regular republicans believe
congress should await the conclusions
of the tariff board investigation. Pres
ident Taft in a special message to
congress yesterday said the informa-
tion asked for on wool would not be
forthcoming until the board had fin
ished.
