MAKES HEAP BIG WAR ON TAFT
Republican Delegates from New
State May Go Uninstructed

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 27.--
While Oklahoma has been placed
safely in the Taft column by the
Washington republican campaign
managers, the spirit of doubt is now
lowering over the political situation.
The administration supporters are
becoming alarmed and have donned
their war paint to do battle with the
enemies of the war secretary. The
republican clans are gathering in
Oklahoma City today for the second
district convention, which will be
held tomorrow. The state convention
is now less than two weeks distant.
having been set for March IL 1t Is
! likely that both conventions here
will be productive of many sensa-
! tional skirmishes between the OPP
| ponents and friends of Taft
Although dispatches to Washing
ton conveyed the startling informa-
| ton that the first congressional con-
vention held in Colgate, Okla, had
! named two delegates instructed
| first and last" for Taft the simple
facts are that the big Ohians sup
porters were defeated and the two
delegates chosen are uninstructed.
Capt Charles Hunter, the pres
ent chairman of the state central
committee, is in disrepute and his
time-honored foes. Jake Hamon of
Lawton, Dennis Flynn and eX-Sec-
retary Bill Grimes, are back at the
head of the old clans. That makes it
extremely doubtful whether the
state convention, will instruct for
! Taft. 1t is pretty certain that the
fourteen men who go to Chicago,
| will not be instructed for any one
else That is not the scheme. A free
| bunch is the slogan of the anti
! Taft clique and the stone is rolling
and accumulating moss every min

WRIT OF ERROR DENIED
Supreme Court Declines to Grant
Applications for Writs of Err
rOr in Waters-Pierce Re-
ceivership Case.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 27.-Attorney
General Davidson achieved another
great victory yesterday. The su-
preme court refused the application
of the Waters-Pierce Oil company
for a writ of error in both the re-
ceivership case and the custer and
penalty case, thus ending the litiga-
ton of the state against the corpor-
alton so far as the state courts are
concerned. The high tribunal did not
render an opinion in the premises,
as it never does in refusing a writ
of error
AS a mere formality the corpora
tion will ask for rehearing to per-
feet the record preparatory to TAX
ing the case to the supreme court of
the United States.
The action of the court yesterday
means that the able opinions of the
third court of appeals are affirmed
in toto and that its findings are pro-
per, together with the trial in the
district court, including the verdict
of the jury ousting the concern from
Texas, and assessing penalty
against it amounting to $1,000, 900.

DIR. HORNBEAK ACCEPTS THE
PRESIDENCY OF THAT
INSTITUTION.

The trustees of Trinity University
have been advised by Dr. S. l..
Hornbeasi that he has decided to ac-
cept the presidency of that institu-
ton. DR.. Hornbeak is now superin
tendent of the Institute for the Blind
at Austin, resigning as dean of the
faculty of Trinity University to ac-
cept this appointment, which was
rendered him by Governor Camp
bell Dr. Hornbeak will remain with
+, ~ Blind Institute until the present

about July |, in time to organize his
faculty for the next years work.
DR.. Hornbeak received his scholas-
tic training in Trinity University
Northern Indiana Normal school,
Cumberland University and Univer-
sity of Chicago. On entering educa-
tional work, he taught six years in
! the public schools of the state, and
| in 1891 he accepted the professor
| ship of science in Trinity University,
which position he held until he sew
cred his connection with the univer-
sity last year.
From 1891 to 1901 he was chair
man of the faculty of Trinity and as

| dent From 1901 to 1907 he was
dean of the faculty, in addition to
| holding his professorship. He has al
ways been active in helping to solve
| the various educational problems of
(, the state and is widely known
throughout his church and among

| is expected. with him at the head OF
| Trinity University, its growth and
progress will be accelerated. His
work in connection with the State
Institution for the Blind has shown
him to be o master of details. our
1 ing his incumbency the course OF
| study has been remodeled and en-
/ riched and a number of new policies
have been introduced that make fol
more efficient work.
The State Institution for the
Blind will lose a good superintend-
ent, and it is believed that Trinity
has made no mistake in the selection
of president.

beak to Trinity University the facul
ty is to be greatly strengthened be
