TAFT TALK At TULSA
Secretary Expected to Break Long
Political Silence on the 9th
of June.

Washington, May 6.--Secretary TAFT
is expected to break his political
silence for the first time since he had
been regardedas a receptive candidate
for the Republican nomination for the
presidency in a speech which he prob
ably will deliver at Tulsa on June 6,
on the occasion of the assembling OF
the first Republican state conven-
tion. The secretary has accepted an
invitation to attend the convention.
1t is not specifically stated that he is
to make speech, but it isnot doubted
he will do so if requested, nor is it
likely that the Republicans OF the
new state will fail to extend the nec-
essary invitation.
In Secretary Taft's opinion the po-
litical campaign in Oklahoma will be
a hot one, and will probably deter
mine for number Of years to come
the political complexion of the state.
The issues presented are expected to
be national in character, and it may
be possible that Secretary Taft can
find much to say to the people of Ok
lahoma in convention assembled that
will interest them in general Republi-
can principles without in any way
bringing in the personal equation.
After his Oklahy ma visit the secre-
tary is going to make an official tour
Of inspection of the great military
posts so That he will be in a position
to renew his efforts with congress at
the next session.

CEPTED BY SEC. GARFIELD,

Many Applications for Commission

Washington, May 7-Secretary OF
the Interior Garfield yesterday ac-
cepted the resignation of Tams Bixby,
commissioner to the Five Civilized
Tribes, with headquarters at Musko-
zoe. The resignation takes effect
June 30.
This is the fourth time Bixby has
rendered his resignation. A few weeks
ago Bixby notified Secretary Garfield
that he was extremely anxious to quit
the government service and engage in
private business. Just about that time
charges were filed against Bixby by
Marshall Mott attorney for the Creek
Indians. This delayed the resigna-
tion, as he was determed not to go out
under fire. Secretary Garfield investi-
gated the charges and gave Mr.. Bixby
a clean bill of health.
Secretary Garfield has given out the
information that there are several
standing applications for the job, but
he says he will take his time about
the selection of a successor to Bixby.
He admits, however, that he has I'M
der consideration plan TO consolidate

HAT
 FURNISHED FUN
How Pine Bluffs Police Judge Stood in With the Boys Fresh From an Adjoining County. in Charge

There is one motorman and one
 conductor who, though sometimes ac-
 cused of being a little green, know how to work their way into the good graces of Sonny Stewart and it is
 dollars to doughnuts that if ever these two brass button car magnates are arraigned before His Honor" in the City Police court, Sonny" can- not help but remember the little favor and reciprocate.
 It was last night The car was speeding down Sixth avenue. It was crowded. The sultry weather made the motorman get a move on him and while the stiff breezes were flaming the sweat from Sonnys brow off went his hat. The passengers laughed heartily when they saw the jovial, good natured police judge make a quick grab for his flying top piece, but it flew away in the open and Sonny" yelled for the brakeman to put on the brakes. The Transit company en- ploye from the neighboring county, stopped the car for the police judge, after running more than block, and to show his good intention, he waited till Sonny walked back, hunted around in the dark, found his top piece and hurried back to the car. He boarded it and gave the signal. The car moved on, while the crowd hand ed around a few jokes at the expense of the motorman and "con" and an occasional remark about "Sonny's" hat. But the police judge didn't lose his hat and that was all that wor- ried Sonny"
