Oklahoma City, Jan. 1.-THE rebel
lion in the ranks Of the senate Demo-
Gratis seems to be over--at least for
the time being. Bob Wallace, the
principal figure in the revolt, went
up to the chair and shook hands with
Ed Trapp, lieutenant-governor, yes
terday after the senate had adjourn
ed. He expressed desire to let
by-gones be by-gones and to cooper
ate with his fellow Democrats in the
upper house. And Trapp welcomed
him back to the fold. There were
a few clashes between Wallace and
the chair the first two days of the
session, but Trapp sat down beside
Wallace n while yesterday and they
jollied" each other a bit; that may
have had something to do with the
reconciliation.
And j. f.. Fleming, who accom-
panied Wallace in the bolt to the Re-
publican camp, sat in the Democratic
caucus following the senate adjourn
ment yesterday afternoon. Both he
.and Wallace had been given appoint
ments to several senate committees.
