OKLAHOMA CITY, JanJ JIG.
State Auditor e. y. Howard
today held up salary warrants
for the sergeant-at-arms and
chaplain OF the house and about
half OF the employees Of the sen
ate, on the grounds that the leg
islature had exceeded it's au-
thorlty in appointing these at
taches. The law does not provide
for either a chaplain or sergeant
alarms, but it vas understood
that the sergeant would come IN
der the classification OF an at
sistant sergeant while the
chaplain was TO appear on the
payroll as a committee clerk"
Howard apparently found out
what was being done and re-
fused to Issue warrants to the
employees In doubt. The speaker
OF the house probably will ask
the attorney general for an opin-
ion on the matter Monday.

w in the Democratic ranks over
the form of the government ship pur-
chase will develop at a party caucus
late today held for the purpose OF
clarifying the legislative tangle which
threatens the administration program
for the short session.
Although q resolution was adopted
to make . shipping bill the unfinished
business OF the senate following pass
age Of tho District Of Columbia APP
preparation bill, 1t was accomplished
only upon decision to mold another
caucus Monday night TO pass upon
amendments to the pending ship pur-
chase bill.
Vigorous opposition TO the govern
ment ownership feature OF the pend
ing bill was expressed by several SEN
ators, and several amendments, II was
declared, would be submitted to the
caucus
May Not Get to Vote.
with only six weeks Of the regular
session remaining and with IA APP
propriation bills to be- acted upon,
senate leaders have become uneasy.
When the caucus met Senator
Fletcher, in charge of the ship bill,
offered a resolution to make the bill
the paramount business Of the senate
next week. Several senators sug-
gested that il be considered to the ex-
clusion of appropriation bills for a
period of two weeks. If In that time
1t should develop that it could not be
passed, some senators were said to be
ready to abandon all hope of getting
a vote on the measure at this session.
Senator Hardwick Of Georgia told
the caucus ne had Informed the presl-
dent of his opposition to the bill be-
cause OF his antipathy for govern
ment ownership. Senator Stone
pleaded for an endorsement Of tho
pending measure without amendment.
Several senators pleaded for an OPP
p%ortunity to enact other legislation,
Senator Hoke Smith asserting that an
extra session would be absolutely
necessary unless a rural credits bill
were passed. .
Amendments Monday.
Other senator's insisted that the ship
bill be given careful consideration be-
fore any caucu agreement was
reached. Senator Bankhead announced
he would seek to eliminate the pro-
posed private operating corporation
feature to be financed by the govern
ment in favor OF government ships
acquired for the navy and leased when
not required for naval purposes to
private corporations.
SO many suggestions were made
that 1t finally was agreed to consider
amendments next Monday night be-
fore pressing thee bill in the senate.
Some progressive Republicans, 1t Is
said. will join with the Democrats in

ing concern lying within the borders
of the state. The gross production
measur provides for a tax OF not eN-
ceedlng 2 per e upon the gross
value of natural gas or crude oil. The
state auditor is given authority to pre-
scribe rules and regulations for the
collection of the tax and the state
board of equalization is empowered
to raise or lower the tax to CON
form to the general average OF the
ordinary tax on taxable wealth In
this state.
Tax on Royalty"
The tax Is to be levied upon the
royalty interests and the mount
thereof paid by the oil and gas mining

U. S. WARNS BRITAIN
PRESIDENT IN NOTE TO ENGLAND
SAYS KEEP HANDS OFF
AMERICAN TRADE.
ACTS ARE CALLED ILLEGAL
Protest Sent From Washington Elk.
peeted to Reach London This Week
--couched In Most Vigorous Lam
gpage Yet Used.

Washington, Nov 2.-Couchsd in
more emphatic language than any yet
employed is the American note to be
presented to Great Britain this week
protesting against violations of Ameri-
can maritime rights and demanding
that further interference with our
trade shall cease.
The United States declares:
]. That it's sovereign rights have
been invaded by the limitations, risks
and liabilities imposed by Great Brit
ain upon the ships of neutral powers.
2. That the procedure observed by
Great Britain under the various orders
in council is illegal.
3. That the British blockade, as de-
scribed in the orders in the council
and applied Hereunder, is not binding
because it is not effective.
4. That the blockade is ineffective
in that it discriminates between the
trade of neutral nations.
S. That the effect of British opera
tons is to blockade neutral countries,
which, of course, is in violation of in
ternational law.
6. That British practice subjects
neutral ships proceeding to neutral
ports to the same suspicion of guilt
which attaches to neutral ships
bound for ports of enemies Of Great
Britain.
z. That British practice results in
the seizure of innocent goods export
ed by Germany through neutral ter
ritory to neutral states and exported
by neutral states through neutral ter
ritory % Germany.
s. That British practice in interior
ing with trade between neutral coun-
tries is not only illegal but unfairly
conducted.
9. That British practice imposes the
burden Of proof of innocence upon
neutral shippers, whereas the burden
of proof of guilt should rest upon the
captor.
10. That the method observed by
British cruisers in taking neutral
ships into port for visit and search
works hardship upon the neutral own
ers and shippers and is not in ac-
cordance with the requirements of in
ternational law.
IL. That the contraband list as ex-
panded from time to time by Great
Britain is arbitrary and in violation
of recognized practice.
H. That British Interpretation and
application of the doctrine of continu-
Gus voyage is not in accordance with
the Interpretation and application of
the doctrine by the North during the.
Civil war.
1t is fully expected the British gov
eminent will make some concessions
as result of the impending represent
atoms, but it is not believed that the
underlying features of its policy will
be substantially modified.
