CANESTERS HAVE
 BAD AFTERNOON
Police Arrest 20 in Raids on Three Alleged Gambling HOuseS-A Joke That Wasn't
 Joke.

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-The festive gamesters of Little Rock had bad afternoon yesterday. The Little Rock police raided three alleged gambling places, arresting 20 men, while the forces of Constable w. A. Jones made a sortie on downtown business building and shared seven sportiVe young men who are said to have been indulging in the great American game of penny ante"
 The raid by the cOnstables is a sad story of joke that is not joke, according to the owner of the raided building. He says that seven young men, all of whom hold re- sponsible business positions, had gathered to indulge in regular Saturday afternoon poker-fest. The employer of one of the young men,, who is said to be a member of the Pulaski county grand jury, chanced by and saw the game in progress. As the story goes, the grand juror had been looking on the wine when it is red, not to mention other bev- erages-in fact, mixing the drinks. A great inspiration for a practical joke filtered through the rose-col- ored clouds surrounding him. Straight way he hastened to Con- table Jones office and insisted that as a member of the grand jury 1t was his duty to stop gambling.
 Constable Jones lauded the ju- TOTS devotion to the cause of civic righteousness. Then the guardian of the county's peace and morals insisted that the poker game in which his empfoye was sitting be raided. Forthwith, it was raided and seven surprised young men found themselves in the custody of Chief Deputy Constable Charles Jones and assistants.
 Then through the rose cOlored clouds which were gradually losing their glow, there came to the grand juror the conviction that the joke had gone far enough. He tried to convince Constable Jones of this, but the latter argued that so far as he was concerned, the affair had been in deadly earnest from the start. The young men secured a bondsman and were released by Justice Meisner. They are still de- batting as to who inc joke was on.
 Police Net Gets 20.
 
 Chief of Police Fred M. Cogswell has declared war on the alleged gamblers of Little Rock, and just to prove that he means what he says, assisted by other officers of the po- lice force yesterday afternoon, he raided three alleged gambling places in the city.
 Twenty men were arrested by the officers at the three places, each of whom posted forfeits of $i00 and were released to appear in police court Monday morning. No gambling devices other than a lot of playing cards and dIce were found in any of the places.

ed upon some charge because they were in favor of the leases to the Uncle Sam Oil Company,
 The stockholders of the Uncle Sam Oil Company have fought a long, hard fight against the machi- nations of the oil trust. The for mer president, cabinet officers, the postof1lce department, some of the federal judges, a federal district at torney and many federal authori- ties. But they have fought the fight to establish their company as a genuine independent oil company and actual bona-fide competitor Of the oil trust"
 Secretary Fisher replied to the charges. He said:
 The negotiations for the so- called leases have been reported to the department of justice, and an investigation is being made by the attorney general"
 Fisher Charges Graft.
 The secretary added that the Un- cle Sam leases would work a grave injustice on the 0sages, encourage promoters to exploit their lands and that a majority of the Osages were opposed to granting leases to the Uncle Sam Company.
 T regard an attack from the Un- cle Sam Oil Company as a badge of honor" declared the secretary. Tt is conclusive recognition of the fact that I have effectively checked the attempt of this concern to acquire an immense oil field under circum- stances which have been investigat- ed by a special agent of the Indian office. As a result of this report I removed the entire tribal council and referred the report to the at torney general, who will decide what action should be taken.
 "The Uncle Sam Oil Company, having been turned down all along the line, from the superintendent of the Osage agency through the com- missioner of Indian affairs, the as sistant secretary of the interior, myself and President, is now resort ing to extreme measures to get the oil lands by fair means or foul. Their evident purpose now is to in- tluence the election of a new tribal council, which has been ordered for January %"

A Correct Watch and
 Good Work

Some one has said that If you keep in a good humor un- til ten o'clock in the morning that you will be cheerful and happy ali day.
 Likewise the man who is on time until ten o'clock in the morning is pretty sure to be on time throughout the day. No- thing will help you toward success so much as an accurate watch. Nothing will hinder you so much as one too fast or too slow. If your watch needs repairing or regulating, and all watches do at least once a year, bring it to us, the charge is nothing compared to the satisfaction it means to you and the time it saves.

FISHER AIDED OIL
 TRUST, SAY OSACES
Council, DepOsed by Secretary or Interior, Charges Plot to Pro tect Standard 0il-Evidence
 Is Before Congress.

Washington, Jan. Discharges that Secretary of Interior Fisher attempted to coerce the Osage h. dians into leasing valuable oil lands to the Standard Oil Company, and a counter charge by the secretary that the Uncle Sam Oil Company at tempted to acquire the fields under circumstances which were threat ening proceedings by Attorney Gen eral Wickersham, were aired yes terday before the house committee on Indian affairs.
 The fight between the interior de- partment, the Uncle Sam Company and members of the Tribal Coun- cil of the Osage Indians, who were deposed recently by Secretary Fish CT and whose actions have been re- ferred to the department of justice for investigation, was thrust upon the attention of congress and the courts by representatives of the oil company, whose leases upon Osage lands in Oklahoma were not ap- proved by Secretary Fisher, and representative of the deposed tribesmen.
 Early in the day some of the de- posed members of the OSage cOun- cil secured from the District court a mandamus against Secretary Fisher to compel him to show cause next Tuesday why they should not be reinstated.
 Charge He Favored Trust.
 The basis of the charges against the secretary of the interior was that he had aided the Standard Oil interests by refusing to approve the Uncle Sam leases. A bill is now before congress to validate them. In counter statement filed with the committee when the hearing began, Secretary Fisher declared that the actions of the officials of the Uncle Sam Oil Company and the council of the Osage tribe in ne- goliating the leases were such that they had been referred for investi- gation to the department of justice and because of this fact could not discuss them publicly.
 The department of justice late yesterday transmitted 10 the United States district attorney at Guthrie, Ok, the reports and documents from Secretary Fisher, alleging that undue innuence' had been used upon the depOsed members of the Osage tribe in the negotiation of the leases. If the investigation by the district attorney warrants such ac- ton, Jhe case will be laid before the grand jury in Oklahoma.
 Trust VS. Independents.
 Albert Wilson, representing the Uncle Sam Oil Company in a brief declared that the Standard Oil Company is eudeavoring to block the efforts of the Uncle Sam Com pauy To secure this lease, because the Uncle Sam Company could then become a competitor of the Stan dard Oil Company's subsidiaries in the fields"
 But the Uncle Sam Company, he continued, has been harrassed by every device known to the oil trust, and has met with the con- stant, persistent, unreasonable and unwarranted opposition of the in terior department.

Princeton, N. J., Jan. 19.-Presi- dent-elect Wilson reiterated last night that he had made absolutely no decision as to the personnel of his cabinet, and added that, thus far, he had not consciously con- ferred with any prospective candi- dates.
 II would not do that" he said, until I had finally made up my mind to pick a man. l haven't consciously consulted any future cabinet members and he added, as an afterthought-'t though I might have consulted with some men whom | might subsequently, choose.'
 Mir. Wilson again expressed his belief that it was unlikely any of the men whom he selected for his cabinet will decline to accept port folios offered them. It was suggested to him that many men were loath tC give up their business to enter the cabinet. He said he realized the sacrifices that were necessary some times.

Acceptance Not Worrying Him.

 When Mr. Wilson was informed last night that people in Washing ton were taking it for granted that a popular reception would be sub stituted for the inaugural ball, he said he had expected to receive suggestions along that line.

REBUILDING A sTEeAsARUs.

Down at the national museum a
squad of scientists are rehabilitating
a stegasarus whose spirit fed to the
happy hunting grounds some millions
of years ago.
This particular stegasarus who was
known Familiarity as an armored dino
saur. scampered about the lowlands
OF Colorado some aeons before Adam
and Eve made their appearance in the
Garden OF Eden. Nothing is known
of his genealogy except in a general
way, and the immediate members of
his family left no traces behind.
About thirty years ago a scientist
discovered this stegasarus In many
pieces, ossified to a boulder. The
boulder was brought to Washington
in fragments. and about a year ago
hammer and chisel were put TO work
removing stegasarus from boulder.
The work Of putting his body and
limbs together has just started. and
the scientists are confident that when
their labor is completed they will
have a sure-enough specimen that
will pass muster in any menagerie.
II is estimated that when he
romped about the world in the jueras-
sic period he carried about ten tons Of
bone and body.
