lamation calling an election to create
a new county to be named Swanson
to be carved out of portions of the
existent Comanche and Kiowa eoun-
ties is being prepared by Governor
Haskell and will receive his signature

the proposed Swanson county arrived
in Guthrie yesterday and after a con-
with Governor Haskell this
morning were assured that he would
call the election at once.

Vinita has grown from an Indian
trading post into handsome city. 1t
has wide streets every one of them
curbe, and ready for paving, the main
streets are paved. There are large
iobblng houses here that are doing
big business. The stores and stocks
are good as you find in much larger
cities in the east The Katy and the
Frisco railroads pass through the
town and give excellent service. The
town is supplied with water from ar
tesian wells. There is a sewerage
system, water works, electric light.
The natural gas furnishes very cheap
fuel, while coal that Is mined seven
miles away can be purchased in the
city for less than three dollars a ton.
About year ago the citizens of Vim
tia landed the state insane asylum
here and work commenced on the
buildings this week. The improve
ments will cost the state of Oklaho-
ma S1,250.OOO A new railroad is
building out OF the town westward
and everything looks promising for a
city OF considerable magnitude In the
near future. We received the kindest
treatment from those to whom we
went for information. There are many
Indiana people In business and of
course they were pleased to see a
Hoosler and to talk about the old
home.
The people Of Vinita are just like
the people Of Indiana, nothing uneouth
about them. They tell you that their
towns wants industries and the eoun-
try around wants Indiana farmers.
The soil Will produce most any kind
of a crop and the lands are yearning

In Leayenworth at o'clock Saturday
afternoon The burial viii be In

Chief Justice Fuller will head the
list of members of the court who will

it's probable that only one member of
the court will remain in Washington.
It will be his duty TO open court Mon
day, when It must convene under an
order issued at the time of adjourn
mept after the Easter recess. In the
absence Of the legal quorum of six, he
will adjourn until the next day. The
funeral party will return from Kan
sas Monday afternoon.
President Taft today sent the fol-
lowing letter to Chief Justice Fuller in
answer to the latter's communication
to him earlier in the day announcing
Justice Brewers death:
l beg to acknowledge the receipt OF
your letter announcing the death of
Mr.. Justice Brewer, and TO eondole
with the members of the court upon
the loss Of so able, learned, genial and
respected an associate May I ask
from you the details connected with

ory which a friendship and profound
respect covering many years require?

was sent by the president to Mrs.
Brewer:

est sympathy Of Mrs Taft and myself
in your great sorrow Your husband
was one Of the great iurists and judges
Of this country, and in your lonliness
earnestly hope that the thought of
the great service which he has rend.
cred to his country may offer some
consolation in the sad hours that await
you.
Resolutions OF coincidence and re-
speet were adopted by the Yale Alum

WILL TAFT INSIST UPON
LEGALISING BIG MERGER?

Washington, March 31..-Win Presl.
dent Taft insist upon the retention in
his railroad regulation bin of the pro-
vision which will have the alleged eff
feet Of legalizing the Southern Pacific
Union Pacific merger?
II the president is unwilling to have
this so-called Joker" stricken from
the bin its passage is regarded as very
doubtful. The provision referred to has
been eliminated from the house bill,
which action on the part OF the inter.
state and foreign commerce committee
was IN Itself an admission Of the un-
desirabllity Of the clause.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota has
come to the aid Of Senator Cummins
and Clapp and other insurgents who
condemn the joker
"If we pass section u" declared
Senator Nelson, referring TO the sec
tion which contains the proylso CON
eerning mergers 1T will be utter folly
for the government TO carry on its
suit against the Union Pacific merg-
er, because II the government should
succeed In that suit, the company
could go on, after the suit vas over,
under the law and do what Il Is eharg-
ed with doing under the law now So
to my mind, II we adopt Section Il
as II Is In this bill. Il viii be all folly
to carry on that prosecution that has
been pending for two years against the
Union Pacific merger
During Senator Cummius' speech an
the bill the question was raised as to
the source of that particular provision.
Il should like to know" said sena-
tor Borah "what lawyer has put bis
sanction upon this 4 legal propoei
ton"
The question was answered by the
introduction of a portion Of the pres.
ldents message OF january z III which
President Taft states that by my nj.
rection che Attorney General has now
drafted q bin 20 carry ont these rec.
concentrations which will be furnish.
ed upon request TO the appropriate
committee whenever it may be desir.
ed.
The fact that Attorney General
Wickersham framed the bin places
him IN the position of having drawn
Ia measure which, in the event Of its
becoming a law, would legalize a trans
action which he is fighting in the
courts as being unlawful
The joker was prepared after six Of
the leading railroad presidents had
their conference with President Taft
the press associations reported that
the railroad men pleaded with the
president TO drop the suits against the
merger but that Mr. Taft after lis
tening very attentively to the argu-
ments turned deaf ear to the en-.
treaties OF his visitors thus showing
that he could be firm once he made up
his mind.
A still more remarkable feature Of
the situation is that ex-Judge Lovett,
President OF the Union Pacific. who
has taken the place Of E. Il. Harrl.
man. knew long In advance OF the
public what the Taft bin would pro.
vide. and gave orders that sufficient
stock Of the Southern Pacific be pur.
chased 10 give control OF the road to
the Union Pacific.
Otto III Kahn a director of the Tn.
ion Pacific testified under oath IN tho
merger suit In New York that presl
dent Lovett had secured advance in.
formation that the administration
railroad regulation bin would be so
drawn as 10 legalize the transaction.
