well, the wife of a purchaser, was oh
lowed to purchase land.

Veterans to Aid In Inauguration
Ardnore, Okie.—Th* Confederate
veterans of th* state are making pro

ceremonies wkrn Lee Cruce take* the
oath a* governor of Oklahoma on the
Mb of January, and they cordtnlly in
vita the men w‘io wore th* blue to be
with them on that occnilon. General
John L. Galt called on Mr. Cruce to
aek him concerning th* propriety ot
onrh action and Mr. Cruc* promptly
replied that Inaugural day was every-
body’s day. that he hoped to *e# a
great mingling of all the political par-
Uat and different organisations.
Plv* Ysars In Prison.
Bhawnee, Okla — Charlea Robert was
convicted her* In district court of a
murderous assault upon Mtaa J«as*
Eddington last summer near Benson
Park snd sentenced to five years In
4hs penitentiary. Th* girl almost Inst
Bor Ilf* when sh* was struck over the
head with th* hull of a revolver and
left unconscious by th# roadside
Robert was arrested charged with the
John Hopkins Must Dl*.
Guthrie, Okie—Governor Hnikell
hts notified nllorneys representing
John Hopklne. the Lawton, Oklahoma,
wife elayer, that he would not Inter-
fere with his execution December 30.
The convicted man will be permitted
to fix tbe hour ot his death.
It was many hour* after tha axpan-
■ion of cold air within th* beat refrig-
erator of Morris and company’s plant
threw a wall on a squad of own be-
fore th* bodies could ho roteoasd by
O steam derrick.
Because of the stubbornness of tho
Are, tho bodies of soverml hove not
boon recovered. All of th# Afteen
men Injured ot th* flr* will recover.
Th* flro broke out afresh ot •
O’clock Thursday night, after It had
taxed th* strength of th* Bre depart-
ment for sixteen hour*. Acting Chief
Bevferlich sent * general call to out-
lying stations for fresh men. These,
aided by polio* reserve*, continued
th* flght on th* Are and th* search
for bodies of the dead. Mayor Busae
spent ten hours Thursday personally
directing th# search for th* body of
Chief Horan, who had bean n life-
long friend.
Insurance Inspectors Thursday night
said that tha killing of th* chtof and
Ala men was not due to on ammonia
explosion as at Brat supposed, but to
the sudden expansion of cold air In the
beef warehouse. This, tt la said,
eauaed th* four-story wall to fall aa
violently aa though an explosion had
occurred in th# building.
Apparently maddened by th# death
of their chief, who woo popular In
th* department, Bremen throw them-
selves recklessly Into th# work of
claoring oway to# fallen wall all day
long. More than fifty men dropped
from exhaustion and were carried
back from the Intone* hast of th*
burning warehouse.
Despite the work ot many engine
crews tha flr* continued to burn stub-
bornly all day and night. Tbouaands
of people thronged Into th# stock
yard* and the police kept spectators
back from the danger Hue with great
difficulty.
Not since the days following the
Iroquois theater tragedy, which like
th# disaster of Thursday, was a hol-
iday time horror, hav# auch pathetic
scenes attended s fire In Chicago.
Mayor Buise late Thursday called a
special meeting of the city council,
which selected a committee of fifteen
aldermen to take charge of relief work
for the families of the dead and to
make funeral arrangement*. At the
same time a mealing waa held at the
Chicago club, and wealthy buatneaa
men started a relief fund. Theater
manager* also prepared to hold benefit
performance*.

Chihuahua, Max.—Forty-two wound-
ed government soldiers were brought
la Tuesday, thus confirming reports
that th* troop train which left hare
Saturday waa shot to pieces In to*
mountain trap known aa Malpalao, a
lew miles east of Pedernalea and
about 120 miles west of hare. Tho

forty-two woundea. Tho latter Includes

Th* train left here Saturday, trav-

COO soldiers. Pancho Villa, the bandit
who, while operating Independently,
■till regards the government aa his
enemy, fired on the second section as
It was passing through th* Andanya
canyon, but did no damage.
Th* mountains of Malpalso, how-
ever, swarmed with revolutionist*.
They baited tbe first and also the sec-
ond sections aa they came up. Col-
onel Guzeman disembarked his troops
and for fire hours defended himself
with desperate courage. He waa In a
trap, however. Hte enemy waa on the
heights, sheltered by boulders and
other protection north to the moun
tains, and poured In a deadly fire. He
was unable to use hte big guns effec-
tively owing to tha nature of the
ground. Notwithstanding hte precar-
ious condition and the number of the
lniurrectos, he held hte ground for five
hdurs. He waa shot through the leg,
while the third officer In command
was raked across the stomach. A1
though General Navarro waa at Fed

Big Strike Ends
St. Louts—The Striking machinists,
blacksmiths, boilermakers and sheet
metal worker* of the Missouri Pacific-
Iron Mountain system will return to
work Wednesday morning, December
21—a settlement waa agreed upon be-
tween the officiate of the company and
representatives of tbe striking men on
Monday. According to the statement,
of General Manager A. W. Sullivan to
the Asaoclated Press, the settlement
la a complete victory for. the company
Washington.—In tha presence of a
distinguished gathering In . the little
court room, Edward Dougina White
waa Monday elevated from associate
Justice la th* supremo court ot the
United States to too chief Juotlceehlp.
• The climax of the ceremonies oc-
curred when Associate Justice Harlan,
as senior member of tbe oourt, admin-
istered the Judicial oath. It was sub-
scribed to on the bench Itself, instead
of at the clerk’s desk, aa la ordinarily
tha case.
Chief Justice White, while taking
the oath, held in hte hand the Bible
which bad been used by nearly every
chief Justice and associate Justice on
similar occasions In too past century,
but unlike most of them, he ktseed toe
book at the conclusion ot the oath.
Because of the overwhelming mod-
esty ot Chief Jnstiee White, officials
of the court were uncertain aa to the
exact details of the ceremony of the
day until they had actually occurred,
In a general way, the broad customs at-
tending the Induction into office of the
bead of the court were followed.
Unlike the Inauguration of a presi-
dent as the head of the co-ordinate
branch of the government, the Induc-
tion Into office of a chief Justice of the
United States haa always been e com-
paratively unostentatious occasion.
Instead of an escort from the capitol
to the white house composed of gaily
attired civic organization* and sea-
soned military commands, a new chief
Justice has only his black robed breth-
ren on tha bench in procession from
the robing room to the court room; In-
stead of hte approach being heralded
by the loud huzza* of cheering thous-
ands, the advance to power of a new
chief Justice is announced by nothing
more than the solitary tone* of the
court crier; Instead of an Inaugural
address outlining his policies the only
ntterance of a new chief Juatice Is tha
solemn words of his oath of office.
The dignity resting in tha customs
founded on the swearing Into office of
John Jay. John Rutledge, Oliver Ella-
worth and John Marshall, and per-
feeted In the days of Roger B. Tnney,
Salmon P. Chase, Morrison R. Waite,
snd Melville W. Fuller, wae not mate-
rially disturbed Monday by radical In-
novations.
Chihuahua, Max.—An Amerienn

Each aide will discuss It Baturday and
If It la acceptable, an agreement may
