Next Week
At a meeting of the Hchool board
bo'trd this morning a resolution was
passed requesting the mayor to recall
the proclamation for a school bond
election. This course was advised by
the board's attorney on account of
certain legal difficulties. It was the
opinion of the board that the election
should be called at the time of the
general election In April.
The following resolution preposed by
Mr. Callaway was adopted:
"That a committee of two be ap-
In Bplte of the miserable condition tions
cf the weather the band conceit at
invention hall last night drew a good
rowd much larger than could bo ex-
pected under the circumstances and
twi surpassed the anticipations of the
jtublic whose expectation had been
worked up to a high point. Prof. Iler-
nell and his bind as well as all others
jtarticipiiting in It covered themselves
with glory and won the highest praises
' t everyone.
Every promise was fulfiilled and
there was not a single hitch in the
i jrograni from beginning to end. K-
1 -cry number was heart ly encored the
! twdience manifesting th-lr apprecia
tion in the most earnest manner.
"I have traveled over a great part of
the country" said W. H. Hollister a
New York man who was present ' and
I don't believe there Is any city three
times the size of Chlckasha that has
a band that could give such a con-
tort. The commercial club t-hould get
back of that hand and sustain It. It will
ronke CliIek-iKha. famous wherever it

On the stage underneath the bat-

ber promised and the program ren---ied
was a magnificent one easbrac-
Inr classical numbers from Wagner
j.nd Gounod ag well as popular selec-

club and every literary club in the
city inviting them to appoint com-
mittees to visit the different schools
and co-operate with the board in se-
curing the passage of the bond elec-
tion or any other method to supply
money for these needs."
Callaway and Spencer were appoint-
ed on the committee.
Miss Mabel Hermes was elected as
teacher to succeed Miss Butler who
resigned.

SECY TAFT A1ID HUGHES
Washington Feb. 1 4. If straw bal-1
lots nominate the secretary of war
would be busy in the preparation of his
speech of acceptance to the notifica-
tion committee. Out of 5.702 ballots
for first choice received by the Chi-
cago Tribune Mr. Tali's name ap-
pears on no less than 3io4.
This is 53 per cent of the whole or
a clear majority over all other can-
didates. His nearest active competi-
tor Is Governor Hughes who has only
12 per cent of the total and figures
run dow n from that to a vote too small
to measure In comparison with the
grand total. '
The lead of tne secretary of war Is
overwhelming. If these ballots sent
to the Tribune without a suspicion of
influence are any indication of the re
sult at Chicago next June Mr. Taft
will be nominated for the presidency
by the republicans not only on the first
ballot but practically without opposition.

n'ashington Feb. 14. Is the Taft
boom really ou the wane?
Washington Post by no means an
anti-Tall paper says emphatically that
it is.
It is the field against Taft and It
d clares upon the fourth ballot the
field will combine and nominate Gov-
Charles P. Hughes of New York.
This prediction is txised upon an In
quiry of weeks exhaustive careful
nd frequently revised. The figures
have been submitted to the republican
aders in each state for verification.
First. Taft will on the first ballot
lack about 150 of the nomination; his
total may inacrease In subsequent bal-
lots but not sufficiently to nominate
him.
Second. Ilugres will be 123 or more
behind Taft on the first ballot but
will increase on every ballot until
nominated.
Third. On no ballot will a majority
of any candidate's vote be transferred
to Taft.
Fourth The candidate who al
though his vote may be large to begin
sith but who will lose voles the quick-
est. Is Cannon.
Fifth. When a majority of Can-
con's vote goes to Hughes following
a breakaway of some Cannon votes
to Taft the Pennsylvania vote will
fo'low the bulk of the Cannon vote
to Hughes on the same ballot.
Sixth. When that movement Is seen
the Foraker vole will go to Hughes.
Seventh. The Fairbanks and La-
Follette rotes will endure the longest
but if balloting Is prolonged enough
votes will go from them to nominate
But for the uncertainty of the gotub
ern states it is announced that a de-
finite result would come before the
fourth ballot. The republican national
committee controlled by Tnft . intlu
tnce Is expected through Its commit
tee on credentials to seat all contested
delegations from those states which
are favorable to Taft There will be
several contests.

SHERIFF EXECUTES THE OFFEND-
ER UPON THE ORDER OF
THE COURT
"John Barleycorn have you any rea-
son to give why sentence of death
c'tmjtt riot be passed upon you?"
sternly demanded Judge Williams in
the county court yesterday afternoon.
John said never a word and the
court continued "John you violated
the laws of the commonwealth. You
are a good fellow but. you must die.
Mr. Sheriff do your duty."
Mart Louthmi lord hith executioner
then oredred his assastants to convey
Job a 'to the back yard ot the court
house. Three barrels ten or twelve
cases and two trunks that were filled
with bottles of booze felt the heads-
man's axe come down upon them
and soon Uieir liquid contents soaked
into mother earth while thirsty ones
looked on and said "what a pity!"
The liquor was confiscated by the
sWi iff bud destroyed upon order of
tti court.

"There is nothing whatever in the
tumor" was the reply of President
VVinchel of the Rock Island in reply
to a question from an Express repres-
entative in regard to the published re-
port that the road Is soon to go into
the hands of a receiver. Rumors of
this kind have been current for months
and of late have been persistently
repeated. "Such reports do us great
injury" said Mr. Winchel "the inevi-
table effect is to hamper us in our
efforts to get money for improve-
ments." In company with other higli offi-
cials of the road President Winchel
arrived in the city .at. 9:30 this morn-
ing remaining an hour or more. The
party left Chicago last Monday and
expect to return next Monday or Tues
day. They went from here to Fort
Worth. It is merely a general trip of
inspection.
President Winchel also contradicted
the rumors to the effect that the
Rock Island Is to take over the
Oklahoma Central." We haven't con
sidered the proposition at all" said he.
'We are not buying any other lines
now but are anxious to spend; our
money improving what we have."
Asked as to the prospects for a new
station and other local matters Mr.
Winchel said. "I slid to you a year
ago that it was to the interest of the
people of this county for us to put
more money into tracks and equV
n'.ent. Tracks and cars are more im-
portant than depots hut we are going
to get to the depot as soon as possi-
ble. Mr. .nudge informs me that he
has secured a contractor to pave from
our tracks to the Chickasha avenue
paving. Yes you can reiterate what
I told the citizens of Chickasha a year
no that we have no Intention of mov
ing the shops from this city"
As to two-cent fares freight reduc-
tions and railroad conditions generally
in Oklahoma Mf. Winchel said "The
gieat need of Oklahoma is more and
better railroads. You haven't near the
ra'lroad mileage you need In this state
noney to spend is all wrong. We can-
not spend more than we can make
and what we spend must be in pro
portion to what we receive. Vve are
m t getting any profits on our business
i:i Oklahoma it is simply a question
of how much can we get to put int&
improvements.
"You haven't reached the two-cent
fare basis in this country and when
.o have gathered sufficient data we.
thill put it before the corporation com
mission and ask for the restoration.
of 3-eent rates. But serious as this is
it is not as serious as the drastic re-
ductions in freight rates. If our rev-
enues are-continually curtailed it is
simply impossible for us to make the
improvements which are needed and
which the pop!e want and are enlH"vJ
to have. The idea that there is any
spirit of retiliatlou in the retrench-
trxnls made is all wrong; it is simply
a business proposition."
Mr. winchel said he regretted his
time did not permit him ti come vjp
town and meet tne business men of
the city. "I remember most pleasantly
our little love foast here at the Elks'
club a year ago."
Besides th3 president the following
officials were in the party: B. F.
Yoakum chairman o the executive
committee of the Rock Island-Frisco
board; H. W. Muuge second vice prt) -
ident; John Sebastian passenger traf-
fic manager; J. W. Robbing general
superintendent and A. J. Davidson
who was a guest of the party.
