Will NOT announce
CABINET MATERIAL
v. S. SENATE WILL BE FIRST
TO OBTAIN LIST OF SEcRE-
TARIES FROM WILSON.

Princeton, N. j., Feb. 13-President
elect Wilson announced definitely
Wednesday night that he would not
make public the names of his cabi =
net until he sent them to the senate
for confirmation, March 4.
81 will follow the good old fashion
ed method" he said, "and not make
any announcement until the names
of the cabinet members are sent to
the senate"
Mr.. Wilson's remarks were occa-
stoned by the reports from Wash
ington that he would announce his
cabinet tomorrow. He said there was
absolutely no truth nor authority for
the reports.
Mr.. Wilson, it is indicated, will
ask the men to whom portfolios are
offered to regard the information
as confidential He believes, it is
said, that he ought not make an i'm
portant announcement until he is ac-
tually president. A premature an
nouncement from outside sources,
however, it was admitted, may upset
the governors plans.
The president elect was asked if
his policy of reserving announce
ment meant he was still undecided
as to the personnel Of the cabinet
and expected further suggestions.
81 certainly do intend to keep my
mind open," he said, until the last
moment in a number Of cases. l think
the field of possible choices is as
full as it possibly can be, but I must
say that the number Of men who
have entered themselves have not
been large"
The governor received in silence
information that he had been OFF,
cially elected president of the United
States through the balloting In the
house of representatives today. He
said he had been working hard in his
study all day examining papers and
documents which had been accumu-
lating ever since his nomination. He
got press reports of the Mexican situ-
alton, but offered no comment.

w. r. Burnitt of this city owns
and controls the greater part of the

warm heart and generous impulses.
No member of the ancient and loyal
order of painters-house, sign or

wear. Also he was good workman
and entitled to the consideration Of
Mr.. Burnitt, who is himself a past
master in the painters craft. After
feeding him, the head of the Burnitt
system of billboards tried him out
and found that he was all there as
a brush manipulation. Thinking 10

the close of day. happy and drunk,
and said that the work had been eX-
ecuted in true and approved sstyle.
This morning. while enjoying his
toast and coffee, Mr.. Burnitt was
called to the phone and requested By
Father Wallrapp OF the Catholic
church of this city to explain why
his (Mr. Burnitt's) ipme appeared at
the top of the fence surrounding the
church property as owner and pro-
prietor. And now Mr.. Burnitt says

YECCMEN ROB
KE|FER BANK
SAME BANK LOOTED A YEAR AGO
-BUlLDING WRECKED YEGGS
TOOK $4,000.

Sapulpa, Okla, Feb. 19.-Sherit #
King of this city, was called to Kiefer
Thursday morning to investigate the
robbery of the Kiefer State bank.
This is the same institution that was
burglarized about year ago and the
same band of cracksmen evidently per-
formed this job, only this time they
made the damage more complete.
When Sheriff King arrived on the
scene he found the big square safe
literally blown to pieces. Great bolts
an inch and half in diameter were
wrenched and torn off, and the force
I.of the dynamite made a complete
wreck Of the door and side of the iron
compartment. In addition the plate
glass front Of the building suffered
SCI ious injury and the side of the bank
was blown out.
Cashier Stratton stated that the
amount taken would reach between
S3 500 and $4,000. When inquiry was
r.ade, the sheriff learned that some
strange men were seen in Kiefer
"Wednesday who answered the descrip-
tion of the men who burglarized the
Bank Of Mounds several weeks ago.
They hung around all day and their
suspicious actions were noted. When
the bank was blown open, there were
half dozen men within gunshot dis
tance. but they made no attempt to
stop the robbery.
The robbers cut the telephone and
telegraph wires leading into and from
the city. Thus communication was
cut off in every direction. The noise
Of explosion awoke DR.. Johnson, who
lives across the street from the bank
and he states that he believes it was
about $3.50 or o'clock in the morn
ing. Sheriff King and City Marshal
Wilder endeavored to track the rob-
ters and searched diligently for clews
tut up to a late hour Thursday night
their efforts had been fruitless.
