No EMERGENCY ON
ANT|-BETT|XC BILL
GOVERNOR WILL SIGN, But NOT
EFFECTIVE UNTIL 90 DAYS
AFTER ADJOURNMENT.

OKLAHOMA CITY. May 10.-(Spe-
cial) )-The bill prohibiting race track
gambling has passed both branches Of
the Legislature and is now ready for
the governors signature, which is
considered certain, inasmuch as he
opened the subject for legislation dur
ing the extra session.
The bill prohibits betting at the
tracks in any form, as well as making
strict provisions against pool rooms.
A hard fight was made to amend the
bill so as not to prohibit the parl-
mutual system, but this failed. The
bill does not carry an emergency. 1t
Will not affect the spring race meet
at Oklahoma City and most probably
will not affect the state fair this year
as II cannot go into effect until ninety
days after final adjournment OF the
legislature.

HERBERT ID. MASON RECEIVES
ASSURANCES or ApPRO-
PRIATION or $4,000.
One FOR COLORED people
separate Building May BE Rejected;
Mr.. Mason to See Carnegie
Again Next Month.

Through arrangements made BY
Herbert d. Mason while on trip east
from which he returned to Tulsa ycs-
terday morning, this city viii now
have not only a Carnegie library of
utility. but the city is also given an
opportunity to put up building which
will be an object OF real architectural
beauty. While the $35,000 appropria-
tion that had been made by Mr.. Car
negie some time ago would have given
the city building Of considerable
utility for library purposes II had been
all along felt that the sum would not
provide for the construction Of a
building of any special architectural
merit. a number of endcavors had
been made to secure an increase in
the appropriation, but in accordance
with Mr.. Carncgic's established rule
Of basing his appropriation on the
last federal census without regard to
subsequent growth, these efforts have
been unsuccessful. Through the cir
cumstance the Mr. Mason sits upon the
board OF trustees Of Cornell uniycr-
sity with Mr. Carnegie he was able,
however. on his recently completed
trip for the purpose of attending "A
meeting Of the board, to secure a re-
consideration Of the entire matter and
received assurances that an additional
$500 would be appropriated for the
library.
This additional money will enable
the building committee of the assoc
citation. of which Mr.. Mason is one Of
the members, to put up an entirely
different type of structure from that
which would have been built on the
former appropriation. The interior
finish and equipment Of the building
can also be much improved on the
new basis
Mr.. Mason also received assurances
that Mr.. Carnegie would be very glad
to provide money for building a sep
arate library for the colorcd popula-
tlon of Tulsa If upon the investigation
Of the circumstances 1t seemed likely
that sufficient use would be made OF
such u library to justify it's construc-
tion.
II was stated that II was often
found that this was the only way to
provide suitable facilities for both
races In southern cities and that Mr..
Carnegie was especially glad to pro-
vide adequate facilities for the color
ed people as well as for white Mr.
Mason is proposing to see Mr. Carne-
gle again on the whole subject in June
and at that time hopes to lay suffi-
cient data before him to Justify his
giving money for library for the
colored residents Of the town.

LEADERS GATHER
TO RE.ORCAN|ZE
PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS TO
MEET N CHICAGO FOR \
CONFERENCE.
NATIONAL committees
Want 10 Get Party Back on n solid
Basis Along More Progrcs-
siyc Lines.

CHICAGO, May l0.-United States
senators and republican leaders from
various parts of the country began to
arrive here today with the avowcd
purpose of promoting movement
for republican national convention
this year ito reorganize the party up
on progressive lines"
The purpose Of the convention, as
described by Senator Albert b. Cum
minis of Iowa, would be to change
conditions in the party so as to pre-
vent recurrence of what happened
at the last republican national con
vention." Besides Senator Cummins
those who arrived today were Sena-
tors c. /. Crawford, of South Dakota;
William S Kenyon of !c"a; and L.
Y. Sherman. of Illinois. Senators
William T.. Borah of Idaho, A. j,
Gronna of North Dakota; and John
=. Works of California, Senator Cum
Minis aid, are expected to arrive to-
morrow, together with former Cover
nor Hadley of Missouri.
"Our purpose is to talk over the sit
uation informally until Monday" said
Senator Cummins, then have met
ing on Monday and get through by
noon. We are simply republicans
who want to get the party back on
solid basis along progressive lines.
THE movement for a republican
national convention this year already
has been pretty well defined. 1t Will
be an extraordinary thing. but the re-
suit of the last election calls for some
unusual action. The republican nat
ional committee will meet in Wash
ington on May "a. We hope before
that time to discuss thoroughly and
be able to present to the committee
the necessity for a national conVen-
ton.
"A national convention this year, Of
course, would not have to nominate
anybody and 1t would not he dominat-
ed by the ambitions of any one. IL
simply would get together in spirit
of harmony and devise plans for the
best interests of the party. Among
the things it is proposed to accom-
plish are:
"To change the basis of representa-
ton according to republican strength
and not according to the accident OF
the representations of states in CON
gress.
ITO take out that rule which ig-
nores or repudiates primaries.
"To modify any other custom OF the
party which might interfere with
modern spirit of the party in the
ranks"
Senator Cummins was asked II an
attempt would be made at the CON
vention to amalgamate the republi-
can and the progressive parties
"No such attempt will be made,
said the senator.
"But it will be like the Lords sup
per-all who believe may partake.
Let me say. too, that we will have no
secrecy about it.
Questioned as to how delegates
might be chosen to the convention, II
one were called this year, especially
in states which provide for primary
elections. Senator Cummins said that
was problem that would have to be
solved later. Neither had it been dis
cussed, he said. whore and when the
convention might be held.
