CHEROKEE COUNCIL NAMS
BOUNDINOT TO SUCCEED ROG-
ERS WHO HAS Bwt\ OUSTED.
TRIBAL METERS ARE BADLY MIXED
Asistanl Chief Faulkner Refuses to
Turn Office Over—Rogers in Wash-
ington in Answer to Call—Govern-
ment May Have to Step in
TALEQUAH: Frank J. Boundinot
has been elected chief of ihe Chero-
kees to succeed Chief William it.
Rogers, against whom Impeachment
proceedings were passed last week.
Chief Rogers' assistant, I) M -Faulkner
refuses to recognize the newly elected
chief and is holding the records until
the return of Chief Rogers lrom Wash-
ington The government will have to
recognize Rogers or i: mndinot as chief
as deeds are constantly being sent to
the chief of the nation lor his signa-
ture.
Asistant Chief Faulkner has notified
the department at Wa. hington and the
Cherokee council that he will act as
chief until Clvief Rogers returns, or
action is taken at Washington.
lustra 1 of being simplified in the last
months of its existence the Cherokee
government is becoming more compli-
cated and the United States govern-
ment may be compelled to interfere.
So far neither the United States In-
dian agent or inspector have taken any
sides in the row of the nation, al-
though they have been appealed to by
both the Cherokee political parties.
The election of Boundinot occurred
after both houses of the Cherokee
council had impeached Chief Roge-s
and the new chief took oath of office.
On account of the complicated affairs
of the natiou the deeds to the chier
have been held up by the Dawes com-
mission until the differences are set.-
tlod and Secretary Hitchcock will
probably be asked to interefere at
once. Superintendent Benedict of the
Indian schools, notified the secretary
of tho interior of the trouble. Much
excitement over this affair exists
throughout the territory, and the result
is being watched with much interest.

FLYNN STILL WELCOME
Oklahoma Ex-Delegate Makes a Visit
to White House
WASHINGTON: Ex-Delegate Flynn
called at the White House a few days
ago by appointment, and had a con-
ference with the president regarding
Oklahoma patronage. The interview
lasted an hour and thirty minutes and
was most cordial on the part of the
president. Flynn has always had a
good "stand in" at the White House,
and tho president went out of his way
to empahsize his good feeling.
He particualrly assured the former'
delegate that, the selection of Captain
Frantz as governor was not intended
as a reflection on Governor Ferguson,
and while Captain Frantz will in all
probability be formally named gover-
nor, the president will lake ocasion to
make a public acknowlegment of Fer-
guson's excellent administration, which
he assured Mr. Flynn, has his un- j
qualified approval.
It is practically certain that there (
RAYMOND IN DANGER
An Indian Territory Delegation Trying
to Prevent His Reappointment
WASHINGTON: A delegation or
lawyers and politicians from the In-
dian Territory, headed by Pliny Soper,
republican national committeeman for
the territory, are here to prevent it
possible the reappointment of Judge
C. M. Raymond. They held a meeting
and discussed plans to defeat Ray-
mond's candidacy. The delegation
have arranged for a meeting with the
president. It is understood that the
judge has a number of personal friends
among them, Speaker Cannon, who
will insist that he be named as his
own successor.
RUBBER BOOTS OR MORE PAY
will bo no general decapitation of the
present incumbents of offices below th '
governor. The present officials will in
all likelihood be reappointed, while the
judges, with hardly an exception, will
be allowed to stay on the bench until j
Oklahoma becomes a state. It is
thought that in the event they are not j
reappointed they will be permitted to
hold over without commissions.
Mr. Flynn expressed himself as be-
ing highly elated with tlu> reception
given him by the president, and the
assurance that he has not lost caste at
the White House.
COLOR AND CONSUMPTION
Negro Susceptible to Tuberculosis, but
Immune From Malaria
GCTHRIE: That the blacker u\
man's skin is the quicker he will di
of consumption was the startling de-
clar. lion made at the Booker T. Wa di-
ington banquet here by Dr. H. W. Con-
rad, a negro physician of this city. He
referred to the fact that the blacker!
the skin the greater the immunity from
malarial attacks, and asserted t ii.it Just ,
the* reverse was true of tuberculosis.
He further cited the benefits which
consumptives obtain by living in the
open air, and declared that they were i
due to the germicidal action of tho sun,;
which was hindered in its work by a j
black skin or black clothing.
Call Upon Banks for Statement
GCTHRIE: Paul Cooper, territorial
bank commissioner, has called upon
territorial banks for a statement of
their condition at the c.ose of business

TULSA: One hundred and thirty
trenchers employed on the construc-
tion of a sewer system here struck
for rubber boots or more pay. A stib-
terrarean stream was uncovered which
filled the trenches with water and the
men were compelled to work in it.

and the contractor refused both. No
serious trouble is anticipated, and men
are being employed to till the vacan-
cies.
Oklahoma City Votes Bonds
OKLAHOMA CITY: The election
held here Tuesday upon the proposi-
tion of voting $ 150,000 bonds for water-
works and sewer extension and im-
provements carried by a large majori-
ty. The vote in favor of bonds was
2,50G and 403 votes were recorded
against the proposition. A hard light
was put up against the issuance of
the bonds and a day or two before elec-
tion the general belief was that the
vote would be close, if perhaps, the
bonds did not lose, but the final result
shows that there are a poor lot of
guessers in Oklahoma City.
Only Two Against Bond at Atoka
ATOKA: The proposition to issue
$:>0,000 bonds for waterworks was sub-
mitted to the voters of this city Tues-
day. The proposition carried by a big

tor of the Frisco, to construct a street
car line in this city to be completed
111 fifteen months from date. The city
lias grown at such rate in the past
twelve months that a car system is
believed will be profitable from the
time it starts.

CABINET CHANGES
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S OF-
FICIAL FAMILY WILL HOLD TO
POSITION YET AWHILE
SECRETARY SHAW URCEO TO REMAIN
Three Members Slated to Retire When
Opportunity Presents Itself—Shaw,
Moody and Hitchcock Will Stay
Through Session of Congress
WASHINGTON: Secretary Shaw
will remain as secretary ol the treas-
ury in President Roosevelt s cabnet un-
til the conclusion of the approaching
session of congress, and perhaps for
several months longer.
It has been understood In a tenta-
tive way. that Secretary Shaw expect
ed to retire from the cabinet about tne
first of February next, or sooner, wit ti
a view of greater freedom in promot-
ing his candidacy for the republican
presidential nomination in 1U08, ifi
though the secretary himself never has
announced his intentions to be a candt
date.
President Roosevelt s attention was
attracted to some recent publications
that Secretary Shaw had presented to
him his resignation to take effect next
February or pehaps earlier and.
he had a conference with the secretary
about the matter. After their inter-
view it was alnnounced that at tne
urgent request of the president, Secre-
tary Shaw had consented to continue
as secretary of the treasury until the
close of the approaching session of
congress and perhaps some time after
ward. It is probable that if congress
should adjourn prior to the ti ret of
next July, Secretary Shaw will still
remain in the cabinet until the end of
the present fiscal year at least, and
lie may conclude to remain even ion get-
He will remain until the close ot the
session of congress in any event, even
if that should be beyond the end of
the fiscal year.
Secretary Shaw's decision to con-
tinue as a member of the cabinet de
tracts materially from the importance
of some stories published recently that
the president and his secretary of tne
treasury differed radically on finan-
cial matters. The president entertains
high regard for Mr. Shaw, both per-
sonally and officially.
At least two other changes In the
cabinet have been in contemplation
but it can be said authoritatively that
they will not occur soon Attorney
General Moody, having formed a law
partnership in Boston, expressed a de-
sire to retire from cabinet last July.
The president persuaded him to re-
main for another year and hopes to
induce him to remain in the cabinet
until a year from the next March or
until the close of the fifty-ninth con-
gress. He has not yet received a
definite answer from Mr. Moody on
that point. Secretary Htehcock of the
Interior department has indicated his
wish to leave the cabinet before tne
conclusion of President Roosevelt s
term of ofllce. But he has informed
the president that ho will remain
through the present liscal year and
perhaps longer. No intimation is
given of the identity of the successors
to Mr. Shaw, Mr. Moody and Mr Hitch-
cock. Indeed, it is not known that tiic
president has yet these appointments.
Chief Porter's Nephew Shot
TULSA: Pleasant Yargee, a nephew
of Chief Pleasant Porter, head or tne
Creek nation, was accidentally and per
haps fatally injured by a revolver snot
by an unknown person, one of a party
out driving. A revolver in the hands
of one of the party was accidentally
discharged, the bullet passing through
Yargee's lung. He is twenty years
old. ihe young man refused to tell wtio
did the shooting.
BOND NOT FORFEIT!0
Vies President of Capitol National
Claimed He Had Not Been Notified
GCTHRIE: J C. Robb, vice preif.
dent of the defunct Capitol National
bank, whose bond was declared for-
feited in the United States district
court, appeared in court later and
showed that he had not been notified
of the date set for his hearing, where-
upon the lormer action was annulled.
The indictment against him was then
quashed under the Phillips decision,
and he was given ten days in which
to furnish a new bond. After the bond
of Robb had been forfeited it was
found that the original bond was miss-
ing from the clerk's office, as was also
that of T. A Neal, who was indicted
at the same time. Neal was then
clerk of the court. The loss of Neal's
bond was discovered in September,
and he gave a new bond at that time.
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION WANTED
Judge Hainer Will Not Continue Using
Common Law Juries
GUTHRIE: Judge Hainer sustained
the challenge to the amended grand
jury, which was drawn under the direc-
tion of Judge Hurford, and discharged
the Jury He will probably let the
grand jury matter rest for the present
In hope oi congressional action, which
he believes to be the only absolute
remedy lor existing delects. He
hopes for congressional action by
Christmas. The present term of court
here will continue until February, and
if action is not taken by congress
early in the session the common law
grand jury will probably be impan-
eled. Judge Hainer has been using
common law grand juries, and still be-
lieves that they are all right, but hesi-
tates to continue, as the other Oklaho-
ma judges do not agree with him.

I raid on the gambling houses here by
Sheriff Wooden, C. P. Dunlap of Cros3

Former City Clerk Arrested
LAWTON: I) A Jacobs, former city
| clerk of Lawton, was arrested at
| Muskogee, and brought to Lawton
I charged with defacing public sccurl-
j ties while in office. He was indicted
l by the last grand jury. Jacobs is al-
| leged to have left the city records in
; a very bad shape at the time of his
1 resignation, a little over a year ago.
It is alleged also that city warrants
Issued by him show on their face that
I the amounts had been raised. On all
j these warrants the sum fraudulently
obtained amounts to several thousand
dollars His bond was fixed, and so
far he has been unable to make it.
ABERNATHY DENIED CANDIDACY

Roosevelt in his hunt last spring at tne

conference with Cash Cade, republican
national committeeman. At the close
of the conference Mr. Abernathy de-
nied that he had told Oklahoma City
newspaper reporters that he is a can-
didate for United States marshal. Mr.
Cade stated ihat Abernathy had re-
ceived what tie came to Shawnee for,
and both men seemed well pleased
with the result of the conlerence Mr.
Abernathy stated to friends here that
"It is all ligln." Judge 11. M ( an
of Pauls Valley, candidate for I n ted
States attorney in the southern dis-
trict, visited Mr. Cade and received his
indorsement for the position which he
seeks, though Mr. Cade says his in-
dorsement counts for little, as he ;s
"keeping hands off the Indian l ei ri-
tory."
