Members Of the Legislature
Outline Program for
Special Session.
Special to The World.

'I''l"l w lho NoIlu
OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. 2O.-Con-
fcrencos We're held here Sunday by
IA large number of the members OF
the legislature on what should be done
at the special session to be called soon
after the first of the year. Some OF
these conferences were held with the
governor, ana some without, but tha
members themselves became tolcrably
well satisfied what should be done
and practically what will be done.
1t Is understood to be agreed that
the most important piece of legisla-
tiOn TO come up is something to off
set the effect OF the late supreme
court decision on the grandfather
clause" Just what sort of a law can
be passed was not agreed upon, but
that it is the principal thing was set
tied. II has been conceded all the
time that this would be the leading
theme upon which legislation would
be sought, and, in fact, If the court
had not handled the grandfather"
law at all, there would be no spe-
Clal session.
The usury proposition Is another
that Will receive consideration, but
whatever law Is passed will not be
stringent and will not hurt the banker.
1t is understood that the members Of
the legislature-thOse here at the con-
ferenCe-agree that some sort Of
usury law Is needed But this is
probably what viii happen. Where
short time loans are made on Chattels
the present law will be changed 50
that the borrower will net have to
pay more than IS per cent, and that
where loans otherwise are made it
shall be impossible for the bank to
collect more than 10 per cent. AS
it is now a person borrowing money
on which usuriOus interest has been
paid he must bring suit to secure a
refund of the usurious part. 1t Is
possible that this provision may be
changed so that the victim will not be
put to more expense to collect his
usurious part than it comes to.
But the main thing Is the grand
father clause" There must be some-
thing radically done, or a number of
negroes In the state will have to be
allowed to vote, and this would be
disastrous to the party now in power.

here at the close OF last week
The market opened firm at an advance OF
TO lG points in consequence with January
selling at 12c, May at II Soc and July At
II G9c on or immediately following the call.
This made an advance Of about 80 TO 30
points from the low level Of last Friday
which was evidently sufficient to attract
realizing on the part Of recent buyers for
reaction. IL seemed, too that the improve.

selling by houses with Memphis and New
Orleans connections, while, Notwithstanding
the strength abroad, Liverpool had very few
buying orders here and prices soon turned
easier. After reacting % within 3 or 4

tapered off and subsequent fluctuations were
narrow and errgular. January sold as low
as Il soc while May touched - 43c and
July l256c with the close showing rallies
Of only point or two from the lowest.
New Orleans was seller here late IN
the day and the offerings may have been
promoted by the easier tone Of the New

Notwithstanding that owners Of wheat sold

Days Rest; Freeing
Back Again.

The grand jury will reconyene this
morning at 10 o'clock and take up
their work where they left off last
Friday. Attorney-General Freeing

and will probably remain until
Christmas as he will represent the
state in the prosecution Of the

Freezing will conduct the investi-
cation being made by the jury in
person from now on, it is believed.
During his absence from the city he
has been represented here by his as
sistant, j. II. Miley.
The attorney general declared
when he was here before that the
grand jury was only waiting to see
how the supreme court decided the
application for a writ of prohibition
in the Burns case before accusing
other officials.
Shortly after the supreme court
had denied the writ the suspension of
Mayor Wooden and Commissioner T.
j. Quinn followed. 1t is not known
whether Freezing had other officers
i'm mind when he made the state
ment.
A great many witnesses have been
subpoenaed to appear before the jury
today and it is believed the investi.
CATION will continue up until Christ
mas day before adjournment is taken.
