World Capital Bureau, Klrkpatrlck Hotel
World Capita! Uurcau,
OKLAHOMA CITY, Deo. 30. The
entrance of Lieutenant dovcrnor
Trapp into tho house speakership
fight, supplemental to his interest
In tho senate situation, was signal
ized today by a tolcphono conversa
tion with reprosontativo Phillips, of
Norman, a Gibbons supporter, when
ho told Phillip "whnrn in head in "
Following tho news that Trapp
had exproBscd himself as favoring
Stovall for speaker, Phillips culled
up the lieutenant govornor and pro
ceeded to criticize him, Trapp re
torted that in his opinion Stovall "in
a cnpablo gentleman and a states
man"; Gibbons Is a good boy." With
that Trapp Is said to havo hung up
tho receiver and finished his re
marks to his office force.
It haB boon predicted for several
days that as a result ot tho activ
ities ot Walton to dislodge Trapp
from controLof tho senate, tho lleu-
tonant governor would widen tho
area of battlo by getting into the
House contest, and this developed to
day. Tho long absence of Walton at
this critical time has given Trapp
an opportunity to select his position
and form his lines to suit himself:
and thcra aro Indications that he
will bo nblo to give the now gover
nor tha fight of his life. His irrup
tion into tho houuo contest Is nn
Indication 'that ho is sure ot his
ground and has decided to adopt the
tactics of defense by attack. ,
OKLAHOMA CITY, Doc. 30. Tho
delay of Mayor Walton, by missing
a echedulo In leaving Galveston yes
terday, will likely prevent his ar
rival hero betoro Sunday morning to
tako a nersonal hand in the fight
pver tho t.peakership of tho houuo I
and president pro torn ot tne sen
ate. His secretary. Aidrich Blake,
left this morning to meet mm at
l'ort Worth and explain In poraon
tho exact situation with reference to
the fight that is being made against
tho administration candidates and
policies and It la oxpeeted that a
public statement will Immediately
follow tho mayor's arrival.
Desired Among "Proli'tnriot."
There Is some disposition among
the Walton mipportors to crlticlzo
him for remaining away until so Into
an hour, after having once entered
Into the fray and K Is felt that he
should havo been here two or three
daya ago, beforo hla friends became
jeopardized. Tho critics aro casting
about for somebody responsible for
tho delay, believing that he has been
badly advlfea by persons who claim
to bo his mends. Thoro Is a possi
bility that ho may suffer defeat at
somo points as a result, and this
Is bolng taken full advantago of by
tho antladniinlstratlon forces In both
houses and senate.
In this connection It has been in
timated that Walton has purpowedly
delayed returning to help his irlends,
who early in tho week began send
ing up S. O, S. elgnal and that ho
pursued thla course to avoid obli
gations to the numerous persons
who wero expecting his help at this
time. It was oontendod by Blake,
before leaving today, that thoro still
remains plenty of time for tho
mayor to exercise his pressure on
the situation and that tho executive
foot is already poised above the
heads of recalcitmnts In both housos.
During the past 24 hours, and fol
lowing tho discovery yesterday, that
both' Gibbons and Angliti were In
serious danger, a number of mem
bers have been Invited to the mayor's
office, v.-here they have been given
the "third-degree." Ah a result of
th!. tho situation has been some
what altered today, although It may
be said that no candidate has a cer
tain majority. Gibbons probably leodR
Ktovall In vote actually pledged; but
there is a bloc ot 10 or 1- voles in
the house which Is still uncertain.
and which holds the balance of
power. This bloc will doubtless await
further developments concerning the
administration desires beforo .coming
out openly. In such a situation, the
norsonally exoressed wish of Walton
will owing success to Gibbons, and
this Is expected by the Purcoll man
and his friends. In case of Gibbons'
victory, It is believed that J. C. Nance
ot Marlow will be paueua chairman,
and Joseph P, ItoKslter of Henryottn,
floor loader, although the later posi
tion may fall to Judgo Tolbert, of

Britain's Final Aurniirt.
Only today, however, was an nu
thoratlvo statement forthcoming
irom urnriai circles. This was to the
effect that tho British premier would
go to Paris noxt Monday armed with
a now nlan for a final and complete
settlement of tho whole question of
ucrmany s war obligations.
Immediately after tho London

opinion to bo away from, instead of
toward the British, with tho result
that Mr. Bon.tr Law yesterday pre
contcd lo his oablnot a plan Whlrh It
is stated comprises tno utmost limit
ot British concessions,
In Its broad principles tho plan
Is said to be as follows:
First. Any reparations program
agreed upon In Paris must bo a final
ono which will put a definite end to
tho wrangling of tho last three yearn
and givo an opportunity for tho gen
eral economic reconstruction of Ku
rope. Moratorium KnM'liUuI,

many Is essuntlal for a period ot
from two to four years
in which tlmo Gormany must bal
ance her budget, stabilize tho mark

not nllied receivership.
Third. Reduction of tho repara

coming after Germany Is given a
fair chanco to make good her obliga
tions, will be obtained by nn ascend

Scii'o American Support.
It Is stated that Premier Polncaro
Is llkel yto be surprised to find Mr.
Bonar Law In full sympnthy with
him against tho German tactics of
evasion and nonfulfillment of
plcdgeH, tho only difference of opin
ion being in tne metnodg of obtain
ing reparations payment, the British
remaining as unconvinced as ever
that the French plans for control
of tho Carman gources of production
will result In anything but social and
economic upheaval in tho districts
taken over.
The Npecch of the American aocre-
tnry of state last night Is token by
the British as full support of thoir
stand, and, while his recommenda
tion for a nonpolltlcal board of ex
perts to fix the reparations total is
not now, the British consider that
his statement places Franco In an
Isolated position.
