The term of criminal court which
closed yesterday, although it ap-
parently moed on slowly, disposed
of a large amount of business.
Judge Dickerson makes no fuss
but he keeps things going. This
was his first term in Chickasha.
Many Of the lawyers had attended
court in other parts Of the district
where he presided and all knew
him most pleasantly in social
way. 1t is safe to say that after
the term just closed, all have a
higher appreciation of his fairness
and his abilities as a Judge.

AN oLD-TIME. ORDER.
Guides Excluded From Treasury Since
Treasurer Spinner's Time.

recent Washington dispatch sta'eu
that United States Treasurer Ellis H. Hoo-
erts had issued an order promoting TIC
professional guides from plying their w.
cation in his portion of the treasury ouiio-
ing. The dispatch also stated that INC
men who steer visitors about the capi.ai
are in a state of high dudgeon over the
order and assert that the colored mes
sengers of the department are to blame.
One of the city guides is reported 10
have complained that the messengers
want to make the tips themselves, anu
to have added, our business was JUST aoouI
ruined by all these big automobiles oe1ore
the order was issued. l guess now, we IL
all be driven out of the trade
AS matter of fact, there has been such
an order In force at the Treasury depart
ment for many years, long pe1ore MI.
Roberts ever dreamed, perhaps, OF oeing
made treasurer. The order prohlplted
guides from showing visitors through any
part of the treasury building, with special
reference to the section presided over by
the treasurer, in which is stored millions of
money and government securities. 1t IS
said this order was issued at the request
of Treasurer Spinner and has been in erect
ever since.
The guides are allowed to escort their
patrons into the treasury building as far
as the Office of the captain OF the watch.
There they are turned over to an empioye
OF the department., wiz ooie" -
through the big building and into the
money vaults, If the necessary permission
is secured from the treasurer's office. The
tour of the building having been completed
the visitors are returned to the waiting
guides, who proceed with them to other
points of interest about the city.
The treasury is not the only government
department which prohibits professional
guides from conducting visitors through the
buildings. Similar orders are In eject at
the National Museum and other places. At
the museum the guides are required to
wait at the main door until their patrons
have found their way through the building
as best they can.
The guides have several times discussed
the advisability of trying to- have these
prohibltive orders rescinded Tney say with

and certain grating hackmen, who seek

A campaign fund of more than $500, 600

FUSES TO GET INTO LINE
Strong Talk over M(carren's Selection
as chairman-Ibdsana for Roose-
velt-Named for Congress.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: The Parker canvass Is face to face
with crisis, even at this early stage of
the campaign, which bids fair to disrupt
the democratic organization in this city
and hand the state over to the republicans
by plurality equaling McKinleys four
years ago The Murphy McCarren fight
for supremacy is now a national issue.
William F. Sheehan, chairman of the ma
tionaI executive committee, yesterday in
his Office, In the Mutual Life building, de-
manded of Charles F, Murphy that he aban-
don his antagonism to Senator McCarren
and at once acquiesce in the formal election
of McCarren as chairman of the state ex-
ecutive committee.
Murphy told him he would not do it. and
practically made counter demand that
McCarren be dropped from the executive
committee, limiting that Tammany Hall
would give Parker only perfunctory sup
port if McCarren was left at the head of
the executive committee and handled the
funds.
Not only did Murphy issue his utimatum
concerning the retirement of McCarren, but
he made highly sensational charges against
McCarren's associations with the gambling
and divekeeping interests of the city, and
put McCarren in such a damaging lig hit
that Parker and Hill may be urged to drop
the senator.
Mr. Sheehan's efforts to put the screws
on Murphy resulted in a disastrous failure,
for it widened the breach between Murphy
and McCarren, making it almost impossible
to go ahead with the campaign until either
McCarren is kicked out or Murphy Is
