OKLAHOMA ADDRESS
In the Same City the Nebraska
Man Shows Up the Fallacies In
Secretary of War's Speech.
COMMONER RECEIVES Bi? OVATION
Three Thousand Perrons Were Una?
ble to Get Into the Hall and an
Overflow Meeting Had to be Held?
New State Constitution Better Than
That of United States.
(My Associated Press.)
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKI.A.. Sept.
5.- Ton thousand persons tonight
heard William J. Mryau reply l<> the
I'eoonl address of Secretary of War
Tart on ih<> Oklahoma political situ?
ation nnd 3,00(1 persons unable In
Rain admittance to the auditorium at?
tended an overflow meeting. Sir.
Mrynn was enthusiast lenity received.
In addition to scoring Secretary Taft
Roundly lor condemning the proposed
constitution for Oklahoma and at?
tacking tlio views of tin- Soc.letary of
War on national policies. Mr. Bryan
declared the constitution or the hew
stale is evCll better than that of tllC
United Staes.
"Secielary TaH in his speech made
in this territory a few days ago ad?
vises the people to reject Ihn propos?
ed constitution and postpone stale
hood until another enabling ac| can
be secured. At first blush one might
suspect that the S.'OtntW'B advice
was due to bis personal interest in
the next election. Ho might bo ac?
cused of advising the postponement
of statehood with a view of keeping
seven olectorlal voters out of the
Democratic column, but lb., more
generous view taken of the matter is
thai bis advice resulted from bis
habits of thought. TaH is inclined to
postpone everything. He promises to
acqutYtt the title of the groat post
notier. He is on bis way in the Phil?
ippines <o tell the Pllfolnos, that
while he thinks Ihoy ought to have
self-government after a while, he
wants It postponed for the present. It
Is not strange, therefore, that he
should yield to bis ruling spirit in the
matter of statehood and toll yon to
pill it off. Ho holds out to the people
the hope of another enabling ad, but
what assurances can he give thai a
flcnubllcnn Court "ess will act Immedi?
ately io briiig In a Democratic Stale
lust before a presidential election.
Does he control the Conen ss Id
such an extent thai he can guarantee
Immediate action? The two Senators
fnom his own stale do not accept his
advice.
"His influence as a presidential can?
didate cannot yet b,. measured, toy
not a sincle slate has yet Instructed
for him. Have you read his Columbus
Speech? If so. yon will find in it an
arraignment of protect ion as we have
It today, an appeal for a revision of
the larirr. but he sees the force of
his own speech by postponing thn
tariff "eform until after (he election.
"I am dad Hint Secretary Taft re
ferred to the Philippines question, for
his discussion shows that he l.olleves
in a colonial policy and thai ho dis?
putes the doctrines sei foith in the
Declaration <>r Independence. While
he seems disposed to ncqulosco ill the
suffrage amendments adopted in the
South, he overlooks the fact Hint Hie
black man of the South is t. tented
much belter than the brown man of
the Philippines. Tile black man of
the South has the protection of eon
si Hut ions., state and national while
the constitution is denied to the Kill
plno."

veil i.; planning to break another pre?
cedent by calling a conference of nil
the Ambassadors us soon as these
diplomatists are back in Washing?
ton.
According In 'be information, ihfs
conference is to lie purely informal,
but tinged with lhal "Rtjosovtcltian
Informality" now well known to Eu?
ropean statesmen. Its purpose is to
discuss the exact condition of affairs,
with reference to the peace of the
world, as they will exist at tin- time of
tin- meeting. It is believ.il an effort
will be made, although it will be sug?
gested at once thai such an action
is not compatible with present-day
politic, to establish a Biatl'p <|uo be?
tween the lending powers.
Tie- charge, in discussing this sit?
uation, explained that the President
is not at all satisfied with the results
of The Hague Peace Conference and
is determined to add another wreath
of laurels to his crown of peace be?
fore he leaves the While I louse. It
seems that Ambassador Jusserand, of
Frnince, and Ambassador Stornburg,
of Germany, have signified their will
Ingm ss to participate in such a con?
ference, und while they have remain?
ed noncommittal as to Iholr colleague3
they do not forsco entile failure.

chief support during the meeting, und

Other international matters, mich us
Chinese affairs, the Pacific' question,

Department of Justice Not Falls
fled With the Judge's Ali?
WAY BLOCK GOVERNMENI'S PLANS
If Chlcatjo Judge Dock Not Aid De?
partment In TIiIe Instance, It Is
Feared That No More Convictions
Will he Secured.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 5?it
was openly hinted ut the Department
or Justice to-dny that ihoro was h
sharp clash between Attorney-General
Itonaparte and Judge l.andls, of the
I'lilted Stillose District Court, nt CM
cago, which may entail serious re?
sults' to the government's anti-eorpo
ration campaign.
And. Incidentally, the official head
of the United States District Attorney
Sims, of Chicago, may fall. Tills is
owing to Iiis apparent reluciancu to
cany out the policy of the Attorney
General as regards the Alton case.
The failure bl District-Attorney alma
In rdnd to tllO special grand Jury the
letter he received from the Altorl.Vy
General, advising that no prosecution
be made. Is viewed bj( department
officials us Indicating a lack of-loyal?
ty, to express it most mildly.
'it may lie stated on absolute author?
ity that Attorney-General llonapario
himself Is rar from -approving) the
course Ot the district attorney.
Tin re is no question that Judge
1 .mulls is absolutely his own master
in this case, so far as following his
own predilections Is concerned, but Iii?
fear Is expressed that, .should he fail
lo gram (he Alton immunity after
Its officials gave the govorninonl the
Information necessary to convict the
Standard nil Company in the celebrat?
ed n l.at" case-, which Information
was si cured upon promise that there
should be no prosecution, it will be
extremely difficult to secure the con?
viction of any other company charged
with rebating. Hallway corporal ions
will not supply the Information, with?
out which conviction will be practical?
ly impossible.
It is admitted that should Judge
l.andls stand pat ami charge the jury
to indict tin- Alton officials, liiH.chargg
would have far greater weight th&u
the letter from the Attorney-General
to the district attorney, expressing the
opinion hat the falthl of Hie govern?
ment had been pledged against prose?
cution. It is probable that the Idler
of Mr. Itonnparle will be published,
in order lo make his position clear.
As to District Attorney Sims, It la
qillto natural that, having devoted
much of his time to fawning u case
against the Alton, he may now U0
averse to a policy that will not per?
mit, of the use of evidence he has CO?
lectcd. That he Is more or less in
sympathy with the position nssumco
by Judge Land la Is regarded here as
a tact: but thai, as an officer of the
Department of Justice, ho should sub?
ordinate all other feelings to that or
loyally, pressing home the conclusions
of his superiors, Is none the loss
strongly urged.
