CHIEF
.Replying to the criticism of the fire
department In connection with a fire
Friday night. Fire Cnlef Majcey today
made the following statement:
On Friday night at about 11 o'clock
there was a fire alarm turned In from
Fourteenth and Iowa. This call was
responded to by station No. 2; within
four minutes from the time the call
wag received the wagon was at Four-tec-nth
street and Iowa avenue but
as there was no evidence In sight of
any flames and all the people In that
neighborhood seemed to be enjoying
a good night's rest the boys on the
wagon concluded that the alarm was
false or that the location of the fire
wag not turned In correctly by cen-
tral consequently they returned to
their station. Since the department at
station No. 1 remained In after the
first alarm they could have received
the second call from central If there
had been one and would have re
sponded promptly.
It lg true that the fire insurance rate
could be reduced but It would be at a
great cost to the city. This Insurance
reduction has been discussed before

REPLIES
TO
the council and an explanation of the
steps necessary to secure the same
named: among the retruirements was
an electric fire call system with call
boxes located at prominent corners of
the town a steamer with horses and
men for the same more hose wagons
equipment and men to care for the
same. All of this equipment would
mean a great expense to the city and
more we suppose than the cincllmen
think tbey are ji.i.Hf!ed in making
considering the size of our town.
The horse which was mentioned as
being hurt during the carnival was
never uuabl to make a run to a fire
should it have been necessary and
never to the knowledge of any member
of this department has there been a
fire horse used for any purpose other
than in work for the department in
going to fires or In practice that they
might be better trained for that pur-
pose. There was at one time an old
saddle horse kept at one of the sta-
tions by one of the boys and this old
horse was used occasionally by the
boye in going to their meals. It may
be that this horse in question was

taken by some to be an animal be-
longing to the department.
Since receiving the appointment as
chief on Oct. 1 of the Chickasha fire
department we have made everal
changes in the equipment at the sta-
tions which we hope will better our
facilities for answering calls. We are
not overworked but we are ' there
twenty-four hours out of each day and
always ready and willing to do what
we can In saving the property of the
citizens of Chickasha and at all times
Invite Inspection of our department.
Any criticisms to be made or advice
offered will be gladly received at the
station. This will be more appre-
ciated than a column write-up In th
newspapers.
We make this explanation In order
that some who might be made to be-
lieve that no effort was made by the
department to locate the fire of Fri-
day night will know that the depart-
ment was at least out on the streets
mentioned looking for a flame to
quench. Respectfully '
Don Maxey
Chief of Fire Department.
WON GAME
FOR A.6M.
Ed Burney Jr. of this city who
"made" the football team at the A. &
M. College at Stillwater although it
is his first year in that Institution had
the honor of winning the game for his
team in the contest with the Christian
University team last Friday. The
Daily Press of Stillwater gave the fol-
lowing account of the game:
"A hard-fought game of football Was
participated in yesterday afternoon on
the college grounds between the A. &
M. College eleven and the Enid team
tho contest resulting In a victory for
the former the score being 6 to 6.
"The visitors are a heavier team
than the local boys In view of which
fact It is evident beyond doubt that
the latter did better work in the way
of generalship than the former and are
to be complimented for having gained
the victory against these odds.
The line-up of the A. & M. team was
as follows:
"Quarter back McPheeters; full
back Lytle; right half Snoop; left
half Gregory; right end Jesse; right
end Jesse; right tackle Bullen; right
guard Ross; center Ousler; . left
guard Burney; left tackle Cory; left
end Amspatcher.
"The features of the game wer" the
securing of the ball by Burney left
guard on a punt by McPheeters quar-
ter back which he carried twenty
yards for a touchdown and the kicking
of the goal by Amspatcher left end.
"The excellent tackling done 'by all
the local boys made the visiting play-
ers easy victims."
KNOCKS OUT
GUARANTY
In Nebraska a Federal
Judge Grants An
Injunction
Lincoln Neb. Oct. 18. The Nebras-
ka state banking board was perma-
nently enjoined from enforcing the
bank guaranty act passed by the last
legislature by a decree entered In the
federal court by Justice T. E. Munder
Circuit Judge Vandeventer concurring.
The syllabus touched upon two
points: First that the enforced guar-
anty is a violation of section 1 of the
fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution which says that property
shall not be taken without due process
of law and second that the confine
ment of banking to corporate bodies
a void provision was an inducement
to the passage of the act and that the
entire act Is therefore Invalid.
The opinion epparontly strikes at
the very heart of "an enforced guaran-
ty It also wipes out entire ly the ques-
tion of the right of the stats to force
all banking Institutions to incorporate.
The way is left open for only a volun-
tary guaranty act.
WANTED--A
PATRIOT
Guthrie Okla. Oct. 18. If there's a
man in Oklahoma with the proper po-
litical character and business qualifi-
cations to act as state engineer and
superintendent of irrigation and pa-
triotism to serve the state without pay
unless the next legislature chooses to
give him a salary and back money
he can probably get the job ...
The matter of Irrigation is receiving
much attention of late from Western
Oklahoma counties such as Wood-
ward Ellis Beaver and Texas and the
progress of this progressive work is
being Berlously impeded! from the fact
that it is all required by law to be
dene under the direction of the state
engineer who is the secretary of the
board of agriculture and that officer
and office has absolutely no money
with which to work not even enough
to buy a postage stamp. Major Chas.
F Barrett who Is secretary of the
board af agriculture ami ex-officio
state superintendent of Irrigation says
that he la allowed to name an assist
ant who will be ia fact superintend-
ent of irrigation subject to the approv-
al of the governor and offers Lhe jb
to any patriot who will serve without
pry and pay his own expenses until
the next legislature.

PREPARE FOR
FEDERAL
COURT
Crowd Will Tax the Ca-
pacity of The
Hotels
The next term of the federal court
will open here on Monday Nov. 1.
Both grand and petit Jurors will be em-
paneled and work ' was begun this
morning on the construction of two
Jury rooms In the rear of the court
house. A frame building 20 by 40
feet is being erected.
In the event that Judge Marshall
overrules the second demurrer to the
Indictments against Governor Haskell
and other citizens of Muskogoe In-
volved In the town lot cases those
cases will come up for trial here. This
will mean that Chickasha will he over-
flowing with visitors for three or four
weeks. When the same case wera
before the grand jury at Tulsa the he
tels of that city were wholly inade-
quate to accommodate the crowd and
a still larger crowd may be expected
here.
The court at Ardmore will hear the
second demurrer to the Haskell Indict-
ment on Oct. 24.
