NEW LIQUOR BILL
TO Be INITIATED

Oklahoma City, Jan. %. = Former
Mayor Frank Stearns of Shawnee
heading the Local option and high Ii
cense movement, yesterday filed a new
petition with Secretary of State Har.
rison, replacing the one abandoned
several days ago, seeking to repeal
stste-wide prohibition as provided in
( ths constitution, and placing the H.
qHor traffic under the control of the
Y legislature.
The only changes made in the bill
we're to add an enacting clause, which
was omitted before, and to make the
periods between elections four, in
stead of two years. Thus, if district
or county votes wet" or dry" the
question cannot be resubmitted for
four years
Stearns said yesterday that the Fort
Smith case, upon which the circuit
court of appeals declared that Indian
. Territory must remain dry for a per-
iod of twenty-one years, has been ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States and decision is ex-
pected by March. In event the SUI
preme court sustains the lower court,
the bill viii be refiled to conform to it.
The federal regulation. the persons
back of the option movement say,
would apply only to shipments from
other states into Oklahoma, assuming
that the law of 1897 still is in effect.
Abandonment of the recent bill,
Stearns said, was due to the absence
of legal construction of the circuit
courts opinion, in the light of which
Indian Territory people declined to
support bill which would give "bev-
erages" to but half the state.
A. L. Walker of Waurika has been
made secretary of the organization in
place of G. H. Hiney of Oklahoma City.
Being constitutional amendment, the
petitions require about $4,000 sigma
lures.

HEARS RUMORS
OF ROOSEVELT
Colonel Wrote: @lts About Time
Made a statement."-Wyomins
and Michigan Turn to Him.

Washington, Jan. 25.-There is a ru.
NOR in Washington thataPresident Taft
and all of his White House workers
believe that Colonel Roosevelt win ae-
cept the nomination for president
should the Chicago convention nom
mate him. It is said that letters writ
ten to Missouri politicians by Colonel
Roosevelt have come into the posses
sion of the Taft workers and that these
lsters make it plain to the admins
tration that Roosevelt will not decline
the nomination If it comes. These ru-
imors cannot be certified.
1t is known, however, that there is
letter in existence signed by Roose-
welt in which he says; Il think it is
about time that make a statement re-
garding the presidential nomination"
That would indicate that there may
be something definite known as to
Colonel Roosevelt's position within a
few days. Just how long "it is about
time means, there is no one able to
guess, but the majority of the politi-
Clans seem to think that everything
will be made clear by the end of the
present week.
The political atmosphere is tense.
Rumors and counter rumors are going
about, most of them without particle
of foundation. Every straw that floats
in is magniiied to tree trunk The
Taft forces have taken the presidents
Endorsement in the fourth district of
Oklahoma yesterday as a big boost
for their man. The progressives, how
ever, minimize that incident by say
ing that if Roosevelt had received in
structions it would indeed have been
a great victory, but going for Taft it
merely meant tnat the postmasters in
the district had done their duty

Why Joseph r. sheehan is Americas
Greatest Tenor.

Why Joseph r. Sheehan is Americas
Greatest Tenor.
To those VINO nave never heard
Joseph F. Sheehan sing in the grand
opera classics, it probably sounds far
fetched to make the broad statement
that he is Americas greatest tenor,
and they cannot be censured for TAX
ing that view and remaining skeptical,
but those who have had the unmis-
tagable pleasure of hearing Mr.. Shee-
han whe nhe was leading tenor with
the Savage Grand Opera company
know that the aforesaid statement is
entirely correct.
Joseph Sheehan, who comes to the
Grand Theatre in Vinita, Saturday
evening, February 3, in the fayorite
opera, The Bohemian Girl" heading
his own own company known as the
Sheehan English Opera company, is
tenor of the first rank His ability
to sing both lyric and dramatic roles
giles him wonderful scope in his rep
ertoire. When a member of the Saw
age company he sang Wagnerian parts
from "Tanhauser" to "Parsifal" Those
who have heard his Lohengrin in Wag-
ner's opera OF the same name say that
his voice is marvelously suited for
every requirement of the exacting role.
He has sung Verdis works from
II Trocatore" to the blood-curdling
Othello" and he was the last tenor
to sing the gigantic music allotted to
the jealous Moor in English at the
fremont Theatre in Boston several
years ago
AS an actor Mr. Sheehan is equally
proficient. His delineation of the char
acter of Don Jose in Bizet's Carmen"
is overwhelming. The anguish. pas
sion and final outburst of dispair are
subtly and forcibly handled as only a |
true historian can handle them. Why |
Mr.. Sheehan never studied the foreign
languages is a mystery to his many
admirers, as the eminent New York
critics class him with zlezak zena-
telle, Caruso and the other foremost
tenors of the day.
Mr.. Sheehan with his company,
which critics proclaim the finest ever
heard in the English language, will be
at the Grand Saturday, February 3.

It would be a considerable ben eft to the state and with a Connecti- cut man at the head of the Navy de- partment, the chances for a favor able consideration of the matter ought to be good, The plan of calling a pub lie meeting to consider the projEct and appoint suitable persons to pre- sent the case to those in authority is being agitated.
