OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.. Dec. 23.
—The inauguration situation was con-
siderably cleared up Friday when
Governor-elect Cruoo announced that,
though he would not don the conven-
tional dress suit on the occasion oi tlie
grand ball, he would wear somethinf
that is fit Governor Cruce opined
that lie would wear a Prince Albert—
maybe. Cruce relieved the public mind
of a whole lot of anxiety Thursday
night, when as the guest of 100 mem*
bers of the Beta Theta Pi. he ex-
tended a general invitation to all Ok-
lahoma to come and see him inducted
into office.
Governor Cruce was the principal
speaker at this banquet Thursday
night and responded to the toast,
"The Fraternity."
"While I realize that as governor
1 will meet many difficulties," said
Cruce, "with such men for co-workers
ns are represented here tonight. I
have no fear but that I may over-
come all."
Harrv Ti. Diamond, a member of
the chapter !it Norman, presented
Governor-elect Cruce with a fratern-
ity badge, on behalf of the chapter.
"I would not exchange this for the
govenioi*hip oi oklahoma," said tho
govern or - erec fin acknowledgement of
t fie* gift.
In view of the informal chaacter of
the inaugural ceremonies and the fact
that the state is not to incur any ex-
pense in the festivities, there will be
no attempt made on th<- part of the
legislative or citizens' committees to
solicit funds to cover the expenses.
All formal functions of the inaugural
will be in .^charge of the legislative
committed. ft ' wfH arrange for the
purely perfunctory ceremony of tho
administering the oath of office to the
governor by the chief justice in the
presence of both houses of the legis-
lature.
A general invitation will be ex-
tended to the entire citizenship of
Oklahoma to attend the inaugural ex-
exereises January 9. Local military
organizations will be invited to attend
In bodies and several cities are ex-
told the public that ho would not wear
a dress suit the uniformed members
of the governor's stuff wept and the
••peepul"—well the great common
"peepul" Uly hid their joy.
Oil wfis poured on the inaugural
waters by the governor-elect himself,
Thursday night when he made the
invitation to his Induction to office,
general.
"1 want all my friends, of all politi-
cal faith whatsoever, to be present. I
will not send out written invitations."
Besides not being a strictly invita-
tion affair, dress suits will not be the
order of the evening in conformity
with Governor Cruce's determination
not to wear one.
Incidentally, there is some specula-
tion as to why Governor-elect Cruce's
picture which was printed in Collier's
Weekly did not appear in tho group
of governors and governors-elect who
gathered at Frankfort, Ky. All the
executives wore dress suits. Cruce did
not wear a dress suit, neither did he
appear in the picture.

SENTIMENT OF CHRISTMAS
Value of Present Not the Idea—
It's the Remembrance and a
President Muse Think of Man;,'
The Married Clerks Got
Turkeys
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2:?.—President
Taft finshed his Christmas shopprng
today. Matters of state made him a
tardy shopper. Altogether he devoted
three afternoofia to the task which was
not a small one by any means. The
president carried thirty-five cards with
him. but they were soon exhausted aii'T
a hurried trip to the white house was
made for more.
Mr. Tuft believes more in the senti-
mem of Christmas gi\ inn than in the
intrinsic value of the gifts. In conse-
quence be does not confine himself to a.
small coterie of relatives and friends,
and his gifts mount up into the hun-
dreds.
Outside of the large circle of relatives
and friends the president gives presents
to the various white house clerks. Jlo
also present turkeys to the married em-
iployes about the executive mansion.
There are 102 of these and this item
alone requires an outlay of $400. To the
three secret service men who are as-
signed to look after his welfare, the
president always gives a personal re-
membrance.
The latest photographs of the Tam-
man\ tiger show that anticipation is a
fattening diet.

DOES NOT WAIT FOR TRIAL
Accused of Cotton Stealing John
Cannon Leaves His Bondsmen
Holding Sack—Preliminary of
Other Three Defendants Set
For Wednesday
The preliminay hearing of John
Cannon, Henry Morris, Ollie Williams
and Ananias Copeland for cotton
stealing was set for yesterday but
as soinc of the attorneys were en-
gaged in court work, the hearing of
the latter three were postponed until
Wednesday. Necessity conpellcd the
indefinite postponement of Cannon'd
hearing as be has mysteriously disap-
peared, not even informing his bonds-
men of his departure, and nobody
seems to know where he has gone.
Consequently, an action against his
bondsmen will be filed this morning
They are J. F. Sadler and Z. S. Smith
and the bond is for $500. Cannon's
disappearance makes the situation of
the other defendants look bad as he
had the best case of any of them and
would not stay and be tried.
