TAYLOR FALLS FROM
HORSE; WILL DIE

Lee Taylor received violent fall
from horse in front of the post office
building last evening about six O'Clock
which will result in his death during
the course of today The accident
came as a terrible climax to the quiet
peace that had pervaded the city dur
ing the day and threw gloom over the
Imerriment that was in full sway on
the streets Mr. Taylor was coming
down Wilson street and intending to
turn the corner leading west on Ca
madam avenue in a fast gallop when
the horse fell throwing its rider sew.
eral feet from it. Taylor struck on
his head fracturing the bones above
the temple and splitting the scalp down
into the base of the skull. He was APP
parently lifeless when taken up and
has never regained consciousness.
He was carried to the office of Dr.
r. L. Hughson where an operation was
performed, but all efforts proved futile
and hopes of saving his life were soon
abandoned. He is alive at the time of
this writing but is not expected to
survive the day.
Mr.. Taylor is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. II. L. Taylor living mile and a
half northwest of this city and has
number of brothers and sisters living
in this city.
He died shortly after one o'clock
this afternoon. The funeral arrange

CHRISTMAS DAY
AN ORDERLY ONE

The vast brigade of Christmas shop
pers that usually comes pouring down
upon the clerks of the department
stores and other places of business
where the Christmas stocks are made
a speciality, was strangely missing this
season and the day and evening of
Christmas eve was an easy one for
the shop girls and clerks. The larger
number of shoppers did their buying
early in order to avoid the rush and
thus the larger amount of business
came the last few days of last week,
and judging from the numbers in the
stores, Tuesday might have passed for
any good Saturday business. The plan
was a great success of buying early
and should be made an annual hap
.pening.
Christmas day itself also passed
quietly and orderly here, and save for
the terrible accident occurring to ~"
Taylor last evening, there was moth
ing to mar the happiness of the day.
The Good Fellows made it possible for
the unfortunate of the city to enjoy
splendid dinners and for the poor chill
dren to have the toys and play things
that bring so much joy to the young.
sters of every class These men de-
serve much praise for their work and
goodness. as do all others that con
tributed to the general happiness of
the day. The Lyric Theatre gave
free show to the children which was
well attended and very much enjoyed.
The police report general GOOD order
and business dull in their court this
morning, and considering everything,
the great day passed an innovation for
peace and good order in this city.

.DONT WANT
CABINET JOB
Prefers Senate, But Believes State En-
titled to Cabinet Honor.

Muskogee, Okla, Dec. 25.-Writing
to his friend and business associate,
Fred Rains, secretary of the Muskogee
Realty company, Senator Robert L.
IOwen denies with emphasis the canard
Isent out from Washington last week
to the effect that he was making Wig
orous personal efforts to secure ap-
Ipointment at the hands of President
elect Wilson to the cabinet portfolio of
secretary of the interior department
The letter made public by Mr.. Rains
today, sets forth the belief of Senator
Owen that Oklahoma is entitled to
recognition in the next cabinet and
particularizes the. post of secretary of
interior, but he makes it clear that
he would not accept such preterment
in any circumstances for the reasons
that he considers his voice and vote
in the senate of infinitely more i'm
portance to the party and the nation.
Close friends of Senator Owen have
been branding as maliciously false and
lunfounded the stories which have
been sent broadcast with the very evi-
dent purpose of misrepresenting him
Land misinterpreting his motives. The
senators letter. setting forth his views
on the matter. is as follows:
Washington, D. c., Dec. 20, 1912.
Mr. Fred Rains, Muskogee, Okla.
My Dear Rains Answering your
letter as to the reports recently pub
fshed that | might accept cabinet
position, or that | had made any in
dorsements for places in Mr.. Wilson's
cabinet, reply that have not the
slightest idea of becoming member
of Mr.. Wilson's cabinet and would not,
under any circumstances, consider
leaving the senate of the United
States for a cabinet position, There
are matters of great national import
ance in which | am profoundly in
terested and which ! will have an op-
portunity to serve in the senate.
| Il have never said or written word
to Mr.. Wilson with regard to a place
in his cabinet for anyone. | hope to
see the Oklahoma delegation unit
in asking for the position of secretary
of the interior for the state of Okla
homa and | believe that if they CO.
Operate cordially they have good
chance to have our state recognized
in this way
Yours hastily.

THE SPIRIT OF
THE SQUARE DEAL
Members of United States Geological
Survey Prohibited from Personal
Interest in Mineral Properties,


The spirit Of square deal which
NOW prevails in most government bust
ness is illustrated by the manner in
/ which the United States Geological
Survey guards the data it obtains and
also withholds information from pri-
vate persons until reports embodying
such material can be published and
offered free of cost to rich and poor
alike.
The law under which the United
States Geological Survey was organic
ed in 1879 expressly provides that the
director and members of the survey
shall have no personal or private in
Eterest in the lands or mineral wealth
of the region under survey and shall
execute no surveys or examinations
for private parties or corporations,
This was wise provision; for on the
one hand it insured that whatever ad-
yantages were to come from geologic
work paid for by the people as a whole
should be equally and simultaneously
available to all, and, on the other
hand, it removed from the geologist
what would otherwise have been
strong and frequent temptation to
make his official work subordinate or
contributory to his personal and ma.
teriaI interests
Can Not Own Mining Stock.
SO strictly is the regulation now in
terpreted that the government geolog
lists are prohibited from acquiring
stock in any mining company operat-
ing in the United States The result
has been that the public in general has
confidence in the impartiality and in
tegrity of the federal biologists, and
property owners willingly impart in
formation to them which would be
withheld from men who might use it
for their own advantage. Even after
resignation from the survey a geol-
ogist is in honor bound by written
promise not to act as an expert in min
ing litigation in any district that he
may have investigated while on the
survey, until three years shall have
elapsed since his resignation or until
ten years shall have passed since he
made an official report on the district.
1t is supposed that after these periods
OF limitation the local information
gained in his official capacity will have
ceased to be of special advantage in
current litigation,
The confidence reposed by the public
in the federal geologists has occasion
ally been abused by impostors who
have claimed to belong to the geologi-
cal survey. Biologists who resign
from the survey of course are free to
seek employment wherever they
choose, but from the date OF their
designations they can no longer be
employed by the survey nor can they
represent ii in any capacity unless re-
instated or appointed from a civil sery
ice register The only apparent ex
ception to this regulation is that re-

fields may be purchased from geolo-
gists who have never been connected
with the organization or who though
formerly employed by it, have re-
signed to enter private work. In all
such cases, however, the finished re-
port is purchased and the geologist

ShouIG Beware Of lmposters.
Because persons sometimes misrep-
resent themselves as employees of the
Geological Survey for the purpose of
securing inside information the pub
lie is advised to regard all representa-
tions with caution and to insist that
the person soliciting such information
shall establish his identity and con-
nection with the survey before com
plying with his request. This can
easily be done, for each geologist or
engineer connected with the organiza-
ton is furnished with card certify
ing to his position on the survey,
signed by the secretary Of the interior
and countersigned by the director
Anyone who seeks information on the
basis of being an employee Of the
survey but who can not produce such
a card of Identification, should be re-
ported at once to the director of the
United States Geological Survey,
