Washington, Dec. 15.—President
Wilson has ordered an investigation
by the war and navy departments
of satires on the administration's
Philippine policy, which featured the
annual banquet last Thursday of the
"Order of Carabao," an organization
of army and navy officers who
served in the islands.
The president suggested to Secre-
taries Garrison and Daniels, repri-
mands for those responsible.
Secretaries Daniels and Garrison
called for a statement of explanation
from Rear Admiral Howard and
Quartermaster General Aleshire, the
highest ranking officers at the din-
nes. Secretary Daniels suggested to
Howard that he decline the presi-
dency of the order, to which he was
elected, and informed him that the
song, "Damn, damn, damn the insur-
rectos," which was sung at the ban-
quet, would never be sung again
under the present administration
with officers of the navy present.
The president expressed Indigna-
tion over the travesty on the admin-
istration peace policy and Secretary
Bryan, when three-foot model battle-
ehlps were carried Into the banquet
room. In the muzzle of each gun
were stuck nosegays, and a milk-
white dove perched on each fighting
top. They were named U. S. S. Fel-
lowship, U. S. S. Friendship, and U.
S. S. Piffle.

OUR SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
The News-Herald invites com-
parison between the Associ-
ated Press stories in Sunday
morning's paper and those of
any paper delivered in Shaw-
nee on Sunday morning.
The repulse of the constitu-
tional army at Tampico was
th<j most important piece of
Mexican news in many weeks.
The News-Herald alone in this
part of the state published
this item Sunday morning.
This is the most important
item on which the News-Her-
iald was twenty-four hours
ahead of "bull-dog" editions
circulated in Shawnee Sun-
day morning. Numerous other
smaller items were carried by
the late Associated Press re-
port that did not appear in the
"bull-dog" editions.
The value of the all-night,
full Associated Press service
for the Sunday morning edi-
tion has already been demon-
strated.
TWENTY-SEVEN MERCHANTS

called a meeting of representatives
of the firms in the plan. It is be-
lieved that by that time a number
of other firms will join in the plan.
The following are the firms repre-
sented:

Custom House and Wharves at Tampico, Where Battle Rages.
One of the deciding battles of the
civil war in Mexico, it will likely be
proved later, is that on at Tampico,
on the east coast of Mexico. This is
one of the centers of the oil in-
dustry, where American and other
foreigners have millions invested in
great oil wells destined to become
the main supply of the world. The
attack on Tampico began shortly bt-
fore noon, December 10.
The attack was indicated when a
messenger from General Villareal,
the rebel commander, reached the
American consulate in" Tampico with
the information that 4,000 rebels,
commanded by Generals Villareal
and Castro, were approaching the
city. The advance guard of the rebel
column, it was said had reached
Laguna Puerite, nine miles distant
from Tampico.
General Villareal declared his in-
tention of proceeding with the least
possible delay with the rebel assault
on the city. He said he had given
his followers strict orders to refrain
as far as possible from the destruc-
tion of property and to make every
effort to protect the lives of foreign-
ers, but feared they would be grave-
ly Imperiled in the confusion result-
ing from an assault upon the city
and the consequent fighting in the
streets.
For this reason General Villareal
earnestly requested the American au-
thorities to take immediate steps to
remove all foreign residents from
the place.

Sunday evening while deputy sher-
iff Huddleston was on his way to
Konowa from Wewoka, via Shawnee,
he stepped off the Rock Island train
at Earlsboro when the train stopped
thtrc.
Town marshal, C. E. Francis, who
was taking the train for McLoud at
the same time, noticed that Huddle-
ston was armed, and started to ar-
rest him. Huddleston told Francis
that he was a deputy sheriff and
Francis wanted to see his commis-
sion. HuddU'Ston wanted to know
who in blazes Fancis was and what
business it was of his anyway.
Farncis showed him by poducing his
artillery and pointing it in the gene-
ral direction of Huddleston's body.
Huddleston then produced his com-
mission. Both men boarded the
train, and then Huddleston's time
came. He held up Francis and re-
quested that he show his authority.
Francis no longer holds a deputy
sheriffs commission, and conse-
quently could not satisfy Huddle-
ston. The argument waxed vigor-
ous, and at Shawnee the conductor
requested that both men be arrested.
Patrolman Day placed them under
arrest, but Fancis insisted upon pro-
ceeding to McLoud. The officer was
informed, rowever, by the con due-*
tor. that the train would not proceed
with Francis aboard. Francis broke
from the officer and boaded the
train, but the conductor stood pat,
and re finally surrendered to the
Inevitable.
Both the officers accompanied Day
to the police station, where tbey
were released by chief of police
Hawk, upon their own recognnizance.
Each declares that he will have the
other arrested today on county
charges, and Francis also declares
that he will file suit today against
the Rock Island.
Although the fracas had Its amus-
ing aspects, the situation at times
looked decidedly squally to persons
In the immediate vicinity, and there
might easily have been a killing.
It appears, however, to have been
purely a case of "getting off on the
wrong foot" with each of the men,
as there was no previous acquaint-
ance or animosity between them.

VACCINATION
FOR TYPHOID
SURGEON GENERAL OF THE
ARMY TELLS OF FAVORABLE
RESULTS OBTAINED.
SPECIAL TO NEWS-HERALD.
Washington, Dec. 16.—Compulsory
vaccination for the prevention of ty-
phoid fever in the United States
army has given the country practic-
ally an "immunized" force, onle one
oase of the disease making Its ap-
pearance during the first eleven
months of 1913, according to reports
just obtained from the office of Sur-
geon General Torney of the war de-
partment. The one soldier became
ill during November, only five days
after he had enlisted, and before he
had been immunized. In no other
army is anti-typhoid vaccination
mandatory. So efficacious has been
the treatment in the army that the
navy has adopted the precedent and
it is today immuned with vaccine
prepared In the laboratory of the
army medical school.
In commenting on the record for
the first eleven months of 1913, Al-
ton G. Grlnnell, of the office of the
surgeon general of the war depart-
ment, In a communication to the
National Geographic Society, says:
"This record, compared with that of
any previous year to the beginning
of vaccination, seems little short of
miraculous."
He enclosed the following table
j of statistics, Bhowing the incidence
| of typhoid in the United States army
j from 1903 to 1913, which tells the
story In a nutshell:
Five years prior to 1908 (average
j per year) 160
Two years after vaccination had
begun (1911) 44
Thee years after vaccination had
begun (1912) 18
Since 1908 a prodigious amount of
work has been accomplished.
WHAT HO! THE COMICS.
The News-Herald presents
today "Slim Jim" and his
friends in a four-page color
comic supploment intended for
the Sunday morning edition.
The funny boys are somewhat
late, but that was unavoidable,
it seems. Instead of waiting
until next Sunday to inaugu-
rate this new feature, the pub-
lisher of The News-Herald de-
termined to make good with
the "kiddles" and circulate it
today.
There was keen disappoint-
ment among Shawnee's juven-
ile population Sunday vhen
the comics failed of appear-
ance. This was not confined
entirely to the juveniles, either,
but numerous phone callB
came to this office from
grownups as well. Anyhow,
here they are and it is our
earnest wish that you may not
miss them another Sunday
morning for years to come.
