Oklahoma City, March 15.-When
the McMeechan resolution, incorpo-
rating the offer of Oklahoma City OF
free land and cash bonus for capi-
tai purposes came up this afternoon,
Shawnee launched its fight for re-

sentatives Steiner and Smith of Pot
tawatomie county, providing that the
state shall recover into the treasury
the sum of one hundred thousand
dollars from Oklahoma City, after
which the governor shall enter into
a contract with Shawnee to accept
its capital site offer and remove the
capital of Oklahoma to Shawnee. The
offer includes fourteen acres of land
knownn as Woodlan park, also free
quarters for state offices until the

at breakfast were unusually quiet and
a strained atmosphere was apparent.
They usually chatted and joked and
their manner today was surprise.

said they would like to have five
minutes more to consider. At the
end of that time, the judge ordered
them to luncheon. The fact that
the Jury asked for such short time,
led to the belief that they were about
to agree, but an hour after they
had returned and resumed their de-
liberations with no indications of an
agreement.
