SUPREME COURT
 FINDS 4 HOM [
There Will be a Shifting About in the Capitol Building to Provide it With 8 Court Room and Offices.

It has been finally decided to make room in the capitol building for the state supreme court, that big struc- ture. like a street car. always having room for one more. The plan worked out involves the general shifting around of almost everybody in the building. except the live stock sanitary board and the surveyor general who holds his apartments under d lease to the government.
 The secretary of state is to be crowded back into the rear office next the vault and with these two apart ments it is believed he will be able to keep business going The other two rooms now occupied by him are to be judges chambers. The territorial li brary is to be put somewhere, just where was not learned, and south end of it partitioned off to make the third chamber while the rest of 1t will be used as a court room. The south end of the corridor will be partitioned off and turned into an apartment for the supreme court clerk.
 The territorial historian is to he placed on the ground floor at the southwest corner of the building which is now used as a storage place and office of the superintendent of the building. Captain Stark, and the his torian's room is to be added to the suite of the corporation commission which is to take charge of the cor poration filing cases. etc. The auditor will then be rinched back into two rooms instead of three and the apart ment at the north end will be utilized some way in the shuffle to make room Altogether it is believed the court will manage to squeeze in with out putting anybody out of business
 All this suggests that it will not be very long until Arizona will require a larger state house. When the caiptol was built plans were drawn for a large building of which the present structure is but a unit, and it is likely that the coming session of the legis- lature will be called upon to take the initiative toward further construction

 OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. 22.-At 1:SO this morning the democratic of Oklahoma was in the midst of a heated debate over the minority report of the committee on resolutions which demanded that Gov Cruce cal! a special session of the legislature to revise the state election law. It is expected the election oi delegates to the Baltimore convention will not be taken up for several hours and nothing at this hour indicate the attitude of the convention rela- tive to the presidential nomination.
 Early efforts at compromise upon a split delegation failed and with l9o delegates uninstructed, the fight be- tween Wilson, Clark and Harmon supporters is stubbornly waged. The Wilson men won the first skirmish late in the day. The test came m deciding the method of selecting com mittees. Adherents Of Clark and liar mon suggested that representation be hv counties while Wilson demanded representation by judicial districts. The first ballot was announced as d victory for the Clark contingent by 4 vote of 3S3 to 223 but the vote was challenged and the second ballot showed an even vote of 293l2 for each.

POWER OF SILENCE.
Jshn Randolph Used II to Confuse q
Powerful Opponent.

roWorTU OPPoHenk.
In painting the sacrifice of Iphigenia
the artist. it is said, exhausted the
emotions of grief and horror in the
faces of the bystanders.
"He has left nothing unsaid. How
can he depict her fathers sorrow?''
was the anxious query of those friends
who were watching the development
of the picture. The artist threw a
mantle over Aganiemnon's face The
blank silence was more effective than
any picture woe.
One of the most extraordinary effects
produced by an absolute silence Is re
corded In the reports of a convention
In which the foremost men of Virginia
took part. John Randolph had a meas
ure to carry in which he looked for the
opposition of Alexander Campbell, q
man then noted for his scholarship and
power in debate.
Randolph had never seen the Scotch
logician. but he had heard enough OF
him to make him and his partisans
uneasy When, therefore, the gaunt
stranger first rose to speak in the con
vention Randolph looked at him with
such an air of alarm as to attract the
whole attention of the convention and
as he glanced around seemed to be
asking for sympathy In his coming de
feat He then composed himself to
listen in rapt attention.
Campbell, aware of this byplay, hes
itated and lost the thread of his argu-
ment. Randolph's face by turns as he
listened expressed WEAKNESS, indiffer-
ence and finally contempt. He leaned
back and yawned. Campbell sat down
hastily. He had lost the whole force

HOW TO CARRY BAGGAGE.

American woman has a rooted obtec-

This is well enough for a short trip,
but Is out of the question when one
must be gone several nights or must
carry enough clothes to do for week

In buying bags make lightness the
chief essential Sacrifice looks to light

In such event dispense with frills, es-

sensible woman who goes away often
for a few days lays in a supply of
white celluloid brushes, combs, mirror
and other necessaries and keeps them
In her suit case. When marked with
monogram in black or dark blue they
are far from ugly and have the adj
vantage of being light.
For checking purposes it is well to
keep leather suit case OF largest size.
These cases hold surprising amount
and are easily handled without dam
