Mrs. Robert Houston May Get
the Postoffice Here.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington D. C May 22. Sena-
tor Klttrldge has placed before tho
Senate committee having In chargo
tho Ujau6t of John Embry recently-
appointed by tho President United
States district attorney of Oklahoma
to succeed lloraco Speed who was
summarily removed x fcuO word reso-
lution passed at a mass meeting held
by the citizens of Chandler Lincoln
county Okla. the homo of Embry. j)
Tho resolution is signed by W. R.'
Oullclc mayor of Chandler as chair-
mau and Warron Zimmerman as tec-
rotary of tho meeting at which tho
resolution was passed. Tho resolution
Is a ferocious assault on Casslus R.
Peck carpetbag protego of Senator
Dillingham of New Hampshire. It ap-
pears that Pock had worked in Dilling-
ham's office nnd was rowarded with a
$4000 -portion in Oklahoma about
eighteen months ago. Peck Is held up
to public scorn as a beefer and muck-
raker and an Investigation shows that
tho resolution is not 'unfounded on
facts An Investigation here shows
that Peck has been doing tho bidding
of D. T. Flynn and Judgo Speed and
under tho gulso of workihg under de-
partmental orders has hold up Em-
bry'a nomination by crowding in now
charges. It is alleged here that tho
major portion of Peck's charges woro
gathered by Harry B. GUstrap post-
master of Chandler at the Instance of
Dmbry'a enemies. Senator Klttrldge
called for Dclegato McGuIre last night
and went over tho Embry charges.
McGlalro learned some things that
caused somo cuss words. Ho denounc-
ed GUstrap as a doublo-cro3ser and
Immediately started something that
vill result in Gilstrap's removal ns
postmaster. So1 f tor Klttrldge said
that Peck's action would also start
something. Tho subcommittee has
sifted the Embry chargos thoroughly
mid Ills confirmation will go In this
week It is understood. Embry has
boon hero for several weeks. Dole-
Sato McGuiro received a telegram
stating that tho G. A. It. post of
Cht&ufer hid rescinded an unauthoriz-
ed Invitation to have Peck speak at
Chandler.
Ex-Governor C- M. Barnes of Guth-
rie who has boen hero since last De-
cember -will return homo next week.
The fact that Mr. Barnes Is a candi-
date for tho Guthrie postofflco has
reached tho ears of Secretary Hitch-
cock who has written a noto to tho
president "digging up a lot of old
gubernatorial matters." It Is said tho
President inclines favorably to Mrs.
Robert Houston of Guthrie wife of a
rough rider and it is likely she will bo
appointed although tho record of tho
present Incumbent Mt. McCoy is
rated good.
Inspector Brewster from tho depart-
ment of justice has been sent to Guth-
rie to Invottlgato United States Mar-
shal Abernathy. Upon assuming of-
flee two months ago it appears that
Abernathy appointed an ex-sheriff
Charles Carponter as Jailor remov-
ing LouIb Fossott sou or the former
United States marshal. The appoint-
ment was made without instruction
from tho department. When Carpen-i
ter's first month's bllle were "vouch-!
ored In" they were promptly turned
down lind Abernathy wired for nn ex-
planation. Ono was slow in coming
hence the insnector's visit. At tho
4opartmcnt cday It was said thai
Louis Fossott Is still federal jailor and
would receive pay for work performed
hy Carpentor. Abernathy It Is said
will 5o censured since Fossett had
ot resigned and his ork was satis-
factory to tho department. Since tho
Inspector loft for Oklahoma charges
havf?been filed with the department
against Fosaett charging Urn with
-"owning blooded horses and gambling
on races."

Washington D. C May 22. -President

"Should Congress adopt tho sea-level
canal bill It Would throw everything
Into chaos and iprobably postpono tho
constriction of tho canal for a quarter
of a century."
Thus with tho railroad rate bill Just
