THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
IN SPITE OF
The horrible weather
prevailing nearly all
this week, many ladies
Have braved the ele
ments in order to se
cure a fine piano at a
very low price. In no
• case have they been
."disappointed, but, on
the contrary, surprise
’and delight have been
awakened by the sight
x>f so many beautiful
pianos at such prices.
• Naturally, the very low
est price pianos have
i!$>ecn taken first, and of
the REAL bargains
priced frdm $175 to
$"250, many remain. One
or two valuable recent
arrivals have been add
ed.
Today and tomorrow
will probably clear all
away.
Do not delay on account
of weather.

Brands as False Imputation That
He Has Been "Influenced"
on Statehood Question.
By Private Leased Wire.
Waahlngton, June 15.—Incident
the adoption of the conference report
on statehood In the house yesterday,
Speaker Cannon left the chair and
from tl|e floor answered Delegate
Smith, of Arizona, who a short time
before had made what wa* regarded
as Insinuations that undue Influence
had been used to affect the speaker’s
poaltlon on the question of statehood.
The speaker measured every word he
said, and waa frequently interrupted
by applause from both aides of the
house. At the conclusion of his speech
Democrats and Republicans gathered
about the speaker and shook hi a hand.
After calling Mr. Dalzell to the chair,
the apeeker stepped to the nearest
aisle and, addressing the chair, asked
for five minutes In which to state hla
position. H* said he had always tried
to. represent hts constituents and the
people at large <o the beat of hla Judg
ment. The coming Into the Union of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory, he
said) met hts approval. He said he
would prefer, to see each come separ
ately n-lth an aggregate population of
Z.600,000, with four senator*, than to
see Arizona and New Mexico come to-
1 rether with a population of about 300,-
i 00 with four senators.
Continuing, he said;
“Although every man In the Indian
Territory should vote against state
hood for the now proposed new state
of Oklahoma, notwithstanding that
protest the state would be and will be
formed under this Enabling act. There
ia.no separate vote there. There Is a
separate vote, however, a* to the other
two. I would not have taken the floor
had not the honorable gentleman, the
delegate from Arlsona (Mr. Smith)
made (he remark that there was
high penalty for the governor of that
territory t» attempt to Influence legis
lation, or for one legislative body or Its
membership to attempt to traffic In
legislation with tha other In order to
secure certain other legislation, If I
correctly state hint. That remark could
not have had but one motive and
one meaning, and that meaning Is that
some one In the house ha* sought to
affect legislation In the house as a
matter of traffic In order to secure ac
tion upon this matter In the senate.
That Imputation Implied, so far as I
know or believe, upon any other mem
ber of this house. Is unworthy of the
gentleman that uttered it, and la with
out foundation in fact."
