Nina Gore, testified Monday before the
special congressional committee which
has been investigating Oklahoma In
dian fraud affairs at the instance of her

C. Knott, recently appointed collector
of internal revenue for the newly Gre

will not be if the republican organiza-
ton of Oklahoma can prevent it.
Mr. Knott is not known politically
in the new state and his greatest bid
for fame seems to rest upon the fact
that he was a classmate of President
Tafts, at Yale. Arthur II. Geissler

publican committee at Oklahoma City
has wired his protest against the con
firmation of Mr.. Knott and a deter

SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES
WORRY GOVERNOR HASKELL

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec 2O.-The
governor is in somewhat Of quandary
as to his authority to appoint the SUI
perior Judges in the state. Some emf
nent lawyers have told him that he
could not appoint the judges for
period longer than his term OF othce.
Others have told him that he could ap-
point the judges for the full term OF
the judicial holding
To relieve himself of any possible
embarrassment the governor has ask
ed the attorney general for an opinion
as to what mis- duty in the matter Is
and he will probably be governed by
the opinion of the attorney general.
The governor has not the slightest
desire to throw any stones in the way
of the incoming administration or tc
exercise any authority which he does
not possess. He has been beseiged tt
make the superior court appointment
but the special session of the legisla
ture to locate the capital and othe
matters of pressing Importance haV'
diverted his attention from the appoint
ments.
1t is probable the attorney genera
will render an opinion in two or thre
DAYS and then the people will knoN
5 what the governor is going to do.
