CONTROLLER Of

INTEREST CENTERS IN WHO
WILL BE EX-OFFlCIO MEMBER
ON RESERVE BOARD.

Washington, Jan. 12.-With the re
turn to Washington of the reserve
bank organization committee, interest
in the new federal finance system
centered today on the question OF
who is TO be made controller of the
currency. Under the new law the
controller is eX-officio a member Of
the federal reserve board, consequent

by President Wilson will be scrutin.
lied with the greatest care.
Persons on close terms with Secro-
tary McAdoo are convinced he in.
tends to make a vigorous effort tC
have president nominate J. S. Will
ans, now asst. secretary Of treasu-
ry in charge of finance. The friend
ship between the president and Mr..
McAdoo inclines political observers
to the belieC that if the secretary in
sists, the name of Mr.. Williams will
be sent to the senate soon after the
presidents return.
There have been many reports that
a fight would be made to prevent the
confirmation of Mr. Williams, who has
been criticized in newspapers for Of
fetal acts in connection with a local
bank furry.
1t is not doubted that President
Wilson can get a confirmation.
Aside from the question of the con-
trollership, members of congress are
waiting eagerly to learn if the presi-
dent has decided upon the five other
men he is to appoint TO the federal
reserve board. II generally is held
that this board is almost as important
as the supreme court itself. 1t is re
garded as probable that the board

not expected before the end of Feb

resday 1t is understood here the
committee has determined to place
reserve banks in New York and Bos

suit of hearings here. Philadelphia,

arguments made by bankers from
these cities.

GOOD COLLECTOR
FINES IN CITY COURT ARE COL
LEcTED AS ASSESSED AND NO
CREDIT GOES.

Mayor Roberts is a good collector
This is attested by the fact that since
he has been in office there has been
tried in the city court 500 cases for
various offenses and every one of
these fines have been collected with
the exception of four which he has
granted time to raise the money.
The mayor stated that when he
went into office he inherited a docket
in the city court upon which there
were over $4,000 in uncollected fines.
of that amount he has made an eff
fort to collect some, but in ma
Jority Of cases the defendants had
fled to other parts. and the city is
out Just that much money. The mayor
says that when he retires from office
his docket is going to be clean, all
cash fines collected, and the records
open for any ones inspection.

Dances Tango in Pulpit.

J Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 12-Il-
Illustrating his sermon by going
through the various positions of the
dance in his pulpit the Rev G. L.
Morrill,, pastor of the Peoples church
preached today on "The Tango"
Mr.. Morrill,, who has recently re
turned from South America, compar-
ed the popular dance, as performed
in the United States with that in
the southern republics. During his
sermon he said:
"The savage heather dance l re
Gently saw in Boliyia is outdone
by civilized, Christian America.
THE natives wore more clothes
and danced more decently than the
tangoists of so-called high society.
"The Argentine tango is a modest
minuet compared with the way We
rush it. The man from Buenos Ayres
would not know it as danced here.
"The dance has degenerated from
devotion and diversion to dissipation
and debauchery.
The tango is popular because it
is depraved.
1T is the Dance Of Death and
its step in due time slides to hell"

GOV. JOHNSTON
CARTER AhENDM' 7
GOVERNOR OF CHiCKASAWs TO
GO TO CAPITAL TO WORK FOR
HIS PEOPLE.

Governor Douglas H. Johnston of
the Chickasaws was an Ardmore Wis
ltor last night and left early this NOR
ming for his home at Emet DR.. r. p.
Howell Of Davis, president of the Trea-
ty Rights Association, was also here,
hut the men, it seems, did not meet
by appointment. The governor stat
ed that he came here to confer with
j. b. Moore, the tribal attorney on
matters affecting the probate bust
ness of the nation.
Governor Johnston was pleased
with Commissioner Cato Sells, he
says, he is the biggest man that has
been in that office in many a day,
and he expects many good results
to follow his organization of affairs in
old Indian Territory.
The governor declared himself in
favor of quick work in winding up
the affairs of his people. He believes
the Carter amendment should be
adopted by congress and he will ia
yor the amendment when he goes to
Washington tohis winter to work with
congress in the interest Of the Chick
asaws. The governor will leave this
week for Washington and VIII re-
main there several months.
The governor congratulates the In
dians in the way in which they have
managed their tribal affairs. For 1if-
teen years there has waged a fierce
battle, and the Indians have won
many of these conflicts. Their or
ganizations have hired attorneys and
have fought every inch of the way.
He states that another victory has
been in the defeat OF the negro allot-
ments. While the negroes received
their lands, yet the government must
refund the price of the lands to the
indians. The Chickasaws never had
adopted the negroes into the tribes as
ether nations did and the Chickasaws
had more slaves than any other In
dian tribe.

FREE WATER

There is one thing that We are sor-
ry that the mayor did not recommend
in his message to the new city cOun-
Gil, and that is free water" for the
people. There are two things the peo-
pie should have free, and those two
things are air and water. They are
the gifts of the Creator to all his
children. There is an abundance for
all There is no artificial air and no
artificial water. Charging poor house
holders big price for a meter, Their
in addition charging them tax for
water, is a hardship
1t will be seen from reports on file
in the city clerks office by Mr..
