DRESS PARADE
COMMANDERS DO NOT LIKE TO
MISS SOCIETY FUNCTIONS.
WILL NOT COME WEST
Unlocked for Predicaments Has De
veloped in War Department AT
Fairs by Baldwin Retiring.

Special TO the World
Guthrie, Okla, July lO,-An m-
locked for predicamut has dcvIcop-
ed in the affairs of the war depart
ment incident to the retirement of
Brigadier General Baldwin, who was
stationed at Oklahoma City.
1t is an mdeniabIe fact that the
eastern army officers have general
dread Of being sent west, due to the
fear of being isolated from the bril-
liant functions which are considered
the birhright Of the man with the
shoulder straps. As a result there
are no applicants for the position
of commander Of the Southwestern
division.
Brigadier General William j. Cas-
key is temporarily in comand of the
post vacated by General Baldwin.
The commanded of a division, how
ever, is generally a major general.
There are now only six officers with
this rank in active service in the
United States. OF these only one,
General Fred Funston, in unattach-
ed. He is in line for the commander
ship, but has formally notified the de
partment that he does not care to As
sumo the duties in Oklahoma City.
1t is probable that Major General
Western will be recalled from the
Philippines to take command.

WAITING ON THE OSAGES
Department Wants Them to Select
Member of Fund Commission.

Washington, July lO.-The acting
commissioner of Indian affairs to-
day, on instructions from Secretary
Hitchcock, of the interior depart
ment, apprised the council Of the
Usage nation that the department
was awaiting the selection of the
nation ; member of the commission
which is to divide the lands and the
funds of the nation, under the act
passed by congress. The department
has the appointing of the two other
members, but will wait until the In
dians have made their selection and
announced his name. For this rea-
son, the identity of the two men to
be selected by Secretary Hitchcock
for the work is still a matter of
speculation in the department, al
though it is known that he will Sc
lect men who are already in the
service.
Several men in the Indian bureau
and other branches in the depart
ment would like the job, but the
men who might be taken from the
offices here because of their peculiar
fitness for the task, could not well
be spared from the offices. If any
one man is chosen for his peculiar
qualifications for this work alone,
in the estimation of the officials here
it should be Major James McLaugh-
lin. The latter has been conducting
the investigation in the Usage nation
and gave Governor Frantz, of Okla
homa, former agent of the Usage
Indians, a hearing a few days ago.
He has been an agent himself for a
number of years and also Il trusted
inspector.
