SENATE THREADING
DANGER0USGROUND
With Report of Finance Conn 1lttee
Every Chance of Agreement on
Reciprocity Was Removed.

Washington, d. c., June 2S.-'rread
ing gingerly over ground rendered
dangerous by adverse reports made
yesterday by the senate finance com
mittee on the democratic farmers
free list bill'' and on wool, and startled
by the threat that the same, together
| with bills to revise the Gotten, sugar
and lead measures, would be offered
as amendments to the Canadian reel.
procity bill, the senate concluded yes
Iterday without reaching the expected
vote on the measure.
Chairman Penrose, of the finance
committee, will fulfill his promise made
in anger on the floor Wednesday, when
it became apparent that the republi-
can majority plan was to hobble the
coalition of the insurgent republicans
and the democrats, and called the
hnance committee meeting yesterday.
1t resulted in the adverse reporting
of the wool bill by a vote of 8 to 4.
and the farmers free list bill, 8 to 5.
When these reports were presented to
the senate, every chance of any agree
ment on the reciprocity was removed.
The senate realized in general that
it had entered into a most difficult
process of action, to which the regu-
lar republicans were opposed, and for
which the republican insurgents and
the democrats sought for. On every
hand it was admitted that the measure
might suffer death. The bill might
be made unacceptable to President
Taft or obnoxious to Canada.
When the finance committee met
the republicans who had a bare ma
1ority of that one-time invulnerable
body, expressed that their organiza-
ton was no longer in command. At the
same time the views of the regular
republican leaders, to the effect that
nothing effective would be accomplish
ed, was voiced by such men as Sena-
tors Penrose and Lodge. The remarks
of the republican leaders were express
siye of contempt for the democratic
bills, Mr.. Penrose saying that the wool
Dill was made over night by mechanics
md that no man would think of devot-
ng less than ten months to the revi-
lion.

there show showers along the southern
Kansas lines. At Chanute. lola,

degrees all through this section with a
few exceptions.
Despite slight rain, the mercury
still stands at 81 in Atchison. A heavy
bank of clouds that obstructed the

by several severe showers.

between paying up or losing all of their
deposits from other Oklahoma state
banks. Bank Commissioner J. d.
Lankford sent a letter to all the ma
tionalized banks Thursday, notifying
them that as result of their action
in refusing to pay the guaranty assess
ment they would be disapproved as
repositories for state banks after July
&c. In the letter Mr. Lankford says:
"You are withholding funds which
rightfully belong to the state bankers
of Oklahoma, and this is to notify you
that on and after July 20, 1911, your
bank will be disapproved as a deposi-
tory for state banks. This conclusion
isreached after mature deliberation and
for the reason that you refused paying
the one per cent emergency assess
ment which you owe, and which is Just
as much an obligation, both legally
and morally, as you or anyone else
could assume. You have sought, it
seems, not only to eyade the law, but
to embarrass this department and the
state administration by ignoring the
assessment made, and you certainly
could not expect me to pursue any
other course than above outlined The |
action | propose to take is not in a |
spirite of revenge, but in the interest
of justice and right. So far as this
office is concerned, the state laws per-
tanning to banks and banking shall be /
upheld and enforced.
SForty-six former state banks will be
affected by the new order, as that num-
Der nationalized just prior to the levy
ing of the one per cent emergency as
sessment. 1t is believed the order will
cause number of these banks to paw
their assessments and will result in
the dismissal of suits brought against
them by the banking board.
State funds will be withdrawn from
deposit with state banks that persist
in discounting state warrants, accord
ing to State Treasurer Robert Dunlop.
In a signed statement last night Mr..
Dunlap said complaints have been
coming to him for several weeks that
certain banks and bankers have refus-
ed to accept state warrants at par. He
warns all such bankers that have state
deposits that they must call halt on
this practice.

EASY TO OBTAIN LIQUOR
IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA

| Tulsa, Okla, June 23.-Some time
before the next general state election
in Oklahoma, Governor Lee Cruce. fol
lowing demand by the initiative peti.
tion, is expected to call special cleo
tion SO that Oklahoma can vote itself
from a statutorily dry" to a "wet"
state.
The United States supreme court, in
the Guthrfe-Oklahoma City capital re-
moval case, held that congress might
not impose restrictions not authorized
b. the federal constitution upon the adj
mission of a state to the union. The
Oklahoma statehood enabling act re-
quired that the capital should remain
at Guthrie until 1913 1t also required
that the Indian Territory portion of
Oklahoma should have prohibition for
twenty-one years.
The people and the state legislature
OF Oklahoma have ignored the provi-
sions relating to the capital, and the
anti-prohibitionists contend that if
congress has no right to interfere in
the internal affairs of the state regard
ing the location of it's capital. it has
no authority to impose special LIQUOR
laws upon a state.
On September II, 1907. the amend

Oklahoma constitution lost in an elec.

MRS. CH|PLEY
oBsEoUIEs WILL BE CONDUCTED
THIS AFTERNOON AT O'CLOCK

INTERMENT WILL BE IN ST.
JOHNS CEMETERY.

Like tired child falling asleep. Mrs.
Elizabeth Gait Chipley. relict 70 the
late Col. Sterhen F. Chipley, passed
into the great unknown at midnight
Thursday night, after an illness of but
day.
Mrs. Chipley was in her SEVENTEEN
year, and throughout her life, and par
ticularly in its eventide, had been
blessed with perfect health. On jan
uary 8, last, she suffered her first Sc
rious physical indisposition. But her
family and friends were sure that she
had fully recovered her usual excellent
health. At an carly hour Thursday
morning. however her daughter, Miss
Elise Chipley, found her breathing
heavily. She had been stricken with
cerebral hemorrhage, and from a
peaceful early morning sleep. she had
lapsed into a coma from which she was
not aroused until she entered the
pearly gates of the Great Beyond.
Mrs. Chipley's whole life was a poem
of the gentlest, sweetest traits OF the
best bred, most cultured. most ex-
quisitely refined womanhood of the
southland. Her purity of mind; her
charity toward all humankind; her
happy cheerful, always optimistic dis
position; her simple, child-like faith in
the religion of Christ, which was a
part and parcel of her being, rendered
association with her a sweet benedic-
ton.
She was a native OF Louisville, KY,
having been born at Repton, the SUI
burban ancestral home of her father,
DR.. Norban Alexander Gait, July 10,
1941. Her father met an accidental
death during the childhood of deceased
when she. her mother, brothers and
sisters became members of the house
hold of her grandfather, DR.. William
Craig Gait, the founder of Louisville's
famous old hosiery OF today, the Gait
House.
Prior to his death, her father had
donated the cites for seven churches in
Louisville, one of which was that upon
which the present magnificent Christ
church cathedral now stands.
At eighteen years of age, deceased
was married at Louisville, to Stephen
F. Chipley, also a native of Kentucky.
One of the first of the old border
states sons to volunteer as a defender
of the southland. in the great civil
war, was Stephen F. Chipley, who
raised and equipped company of the
knights, and was commissioned its
captain.
