AT 10 o'clock last night the Ar
kansas river was frozen solid for
the first time in years. A crew
of thirty men were at work in the
river adjoining the cit water
works pumping station. but they
faced an apparently hopeless task.
The waterworks officials, who
have resorted to every means in
human power to maintain an open
channel at the pump station, were
forced to turn the water off In
the resident portion of the city.
All consumers are urgently re-
quested to be as cautious as pos
sible today and use the smallest
possible amount of water. A re-
serve supply is being kept for use

D3MURRACE LAWS VOID
supreme Court Makes Sweeping De-
cislon-Interstate Commerce
Commission 1T"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The pow
er of the states over railroads and eX-
press companies suffered hard blow
today when the supreme court held
that since the passage OF the Car
mack amendment to the interstate
commerce law in 1905 the states had
ceased to have the right to annul
contracts between railroads and ship
pers limiting the liability for the loss
Of Interstate shipments.
States Can't Penallzc Roads.
Another serious blow was delivered
when the court held that the states.
since the passage OF the interstate
commerce acts. and particularly the
Hepburn law In 1906, had no power
to penallZe railroads for failure to
furnish cars for interstate shipments
In this connection the court declared
unconstitutional the Minnesota recip-
rocal demurrage law, authorizing the
recovery by shippers of dollar a
day for every day which the railroad
failed to furnish car for the remoV-
al OF freight.
State Laws Must Give Way.
The changes thus effected revolu-
tionizes the practice In many states
AS a result Of the passage Of the
Carmack amendment. the court
speaking through Justice Lurton, held
that congress had manifested It's In
tention to deal with the subject OF
carriers liability for interstate ship
ments and that being the case the
state laws must give way. The court
not only annulled state laws which
seek to regulate the liability but II
held that the federal law as express
ed in the Carmack amendment, dealt
with the damage of railroad ship
ments and that It did not prohibit
contracts limiting liability in return
on a low rate.
Hepburn Law Fixes Duty.
Justice Lurton said It was Just as
reasonable to base rates on value as
on the character OF shipments. Fur
thermore. he added, It was not con
formable TO plain principles Of JUS
tlce that the shipper may underestl-
mate the value Of his property for the
purpose OF reducing the rate and then
recover on a higher rate.
As to reciprocal demurrage law
for interstate commerce. the court
said that the Hepburn rate law ex-
pressly fixed the duty of carriers 10
furnish cars and that precludes the
states from acting further on that
subject.

EAST SIDE TRIUMPHS IN CAUCUS
OF LEGISLATORS MONDAY
AFTERNOON.
A COALITION WAS FORMED
MaXcy and Crawford Forces Combine
The Legislature Con,enes
This Morning.
(BY j. A. MkEENER.)
(Staff Correspondent)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 6.-(Spe-
cial)-Harvey Maxey of Muskogee
will be elected speaker of the house
when the fourth oklahoma legisla-
ture meets at noon tomorrow, but only
after the Smith and Williams forces
have been defeated on the floor The
house organization was perfected at a
caucus late this afternoon, but tho
Williams men, who are the support
ers Of Smith, refused to take part In
the caucus and sent word that they
would carry the fight to the floor Of
the house. With only forty-one votes
needed for n choice, the MaXey forces
which formed coalition with the
supporters of John Crawford, held a
ioint caucus at o'clock this after
noon and mustered a strength or
forty-nine votes, or eight more than
enough to give them complete control
Of the organization of the house.
Forty-seven democratic members OF
the house signed the call for the eau
Gus to meet at o'clock. The Smith
and Williams men refused to go into
the caucus, claiming that the demo-
cratic state central committee should
issue the call for the meeting. In an
effort to get their opponents to meet
with them. the caucus recessed until
o'clock, but being unable to affect
any compromise with the other fac
tion, the Maxey- Crawford faction pro-
ceeded to organize the house.
The Compromise.
Under the terms of the compromise
between Crawford and Maxey. Maxey
will be made speaker, c. r. Emman-
uel OF Sulphur, n Crawford man,
speaker pro TEN. John B. Crawford,
caucus chairman and democratic floor
leader and the Crawford men will
name the majority of the committee
chairman. Another meeting of the
caucus will be held at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. to name the COM
mittees.
w. A. Durant Crawford campaign
manager. and speaker of the house
during the last legislature. acted as
temporary chairman of the caucus.
Frank Carter of Tlllman county,
will be made sergeant at arms with
f. NJ. Tuttle of Guymon as his assist
ant
Oklahoma County Out.
Rev. w. NJ. p. Riddle, of Oklahoma
City, will be the house chaplain.
with the exception Of Representa-
tive Randle of Oklahoma county, the
Oklahoma City delegation refused to
take part in the Caucus, word having
been sent out by the Oklahoma City
Chamber of Commerce to line up for
Roy Williams, as he is known to favor
an appropriation for the state capitol.
Eandle was made secretary of the
house caucus.
Everything Is in readiness for the
convening Of the legislature tomor-
row and aside from the promised
fight over the organization of the
house, the program will probably be
confined to the routine matters of or
ganization.
A Contest.
In the senate the contest over the
seat of Senator Jack Langston will
come up for consideration George L.
Alcock Is contesting his seat from the
First district. Langston is a republican
and probably will be unseated.

"TechnicaIities" Show Up.

Judge Vendeventer announced the
opinion of the court. Justice Lurton
delivered a dissenting opinion In
which Chief Justice White and Justice
Holmes concurred. The majority OF
the court held that the circuit court
for Southern New York had decided
that the indictment charged a with
holding" OF the cotton from the mar
ket. a necessary element Of a corner
as admitted by the government. The
minority held that the circuit court
that found the indictment did not so
charge and for that reason the indict-
ment was faulty. According to all
the Justices, the correctness of the
holding of the circuit court as to the
indictment on other technical points
has to be accepted at this time with
out question by the supreme court.
The points thus left undecided today
may be made the basis for bringing
the case to the court again, II the
defendants are convicted.
