that under his direction the victory
for the party would have been less
emphatic place in the Cabinet
would probably have been rendered
him.
In the past New England has had
many distinguished statesmen in the
Cabinets of the Presidents, Henry
Knox of Massachusetts, was the first
Secretary of War: Levi Lincoln was
Attorney General in the first Jeffer-
son administration; Secretaries Of
States include the names of John
Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Ed
ward Everett, Caleb Gushing, James
G. Blaine and Richad Olney; Gideon
Welles Of Connecticut, William e.
Chandler of New Hampshire and
John D. Long and George Won l..
Meyer Of Massachusetts have been
Secretaries of the Navy, and George
S. Boutwell, was Secretary Of the
Treasury in the Grant Administra-
tons. The list includes other names
of greater or less distinction
AS a matter OF history, it is inter-
esting to note that only in two Admin
istrations since the foundation of the
Government has New England been
without representation in the Cabinet
of a President of the United States.
When John Quincy Adams was Presi-
dent, 1825-1829, he called into his Off
cial family no advisor from his home
section; thus far in the first Wilson
Administration no man from New Eng
land has found q place.
No one will deny that at least Mr..
Fitzgerald has historical precedent for
insisting that the Democratic party
should no longer neglect New Eng
land in the distribution of Cabinet
positions.
Living Cost a Problem.
Cautious ventures Of opinion that a
special session of the 65th Congress
would be called comparatively soon af-
ter March 4 have swel1ed now to al
most outspoken prophesies.
Not that it is believed the President
yearns for special session or that
the. country Graves it, but merely as "a
case of must as phrased in the YER
nacular.
Those leaders of Congress who i'm
agined that the short session which
opens on Monday would be devoted
wholly to the passage Of routine appro-
priation bills now realize that appro-
priation measures are apt to have a
subordinate place in the legislative
program.
Not only will labor legislation tend
to crowd the supply bills into the back
ground, but the Nationwide clamOr
against the excessive price of the or
binary necessities Of life will compel
Congress to deal with the high-cest- of
living problem in some concrete way.
All of which strengthens the grow
ing conviction that the work which is
ahead of Congress cannot be done in
the brief period of three months. Some
of it will have to, be left undone for a
full year, or else the House and Sen
ate will have to be convened in ex-
ira session early in the Spring.
Once Congress launches OH a series
Of investiga tons into current food and
clothing prices and begins seriously to
weigh the merits of various bills and
resolutions for relief, other legisla-
ton of lesser concern to the great
body of the people viii have to take
it's chances.
And the failure of just one approl
priatfon bill to pass by March 4 will
force the reassembling of Congress.

And speaking Of Cabinet places, the
Democratic choice in this hour of
victory might easily have; been mar
rowed and probably fixed to GER
tainty if Collector of the Port Ed
mund Billings had yielded to the per-
suasiehs from high quarters and had
accepted the Craftsmanship of the
Democratic National Committee.
On the eve of the assembling of the
Democratic National convention in st.
Louis an effort was made to press Mr..
Billings into service as the head of
the campaign management. The Col
lleetoF was summoned to Washington
and had q long conference with the
President and some of his closest poll
tieal advisers On the matter.
The Craftsmanship was his if he had

might be wise for the party managers
to look further.

LOTS OF NAMES

City Commissioners Have
but One Street for
Whole List.

If you notice one OF the city COM
mss!onors with that worried strained
look on his usual beaming face do not
ascribe the cause 10 the jitneys city
hall or many other problems which
have confronted the commission of
late. The whole trouble is the selec-
tlon of 10 suitable name for the main
street Of West Tulsa.
Two days ago the commissioners
asked the public to help them by sug-
gesting names for the thoroughfare.
Since that time an avalanche OF sug-
gestions has been pouring in on City
Auditor Newkirk, whose duty 1t is to
handle the suggestions.
The close OF the contest was orig-z
inally set for next Tuesday. but the
commissioners will not meet on that
day on account OF the election, and
the contest will probably remain open
until next Friday. Commissioner
Younkman suggested In commission
meeting yesterday that the thorough
fare be called Clinton drive, on ac-
count of the Celia Clinton school
house. which will be the place where
the street connects with the new high
way to Sapulpa. Other sugg estions re-
coived yesterday were Bridge street.
Refinery way. OIL avenue. Tulsa street,
White way Elizabeth street, okla
hcma street and Arkansas River
street.

SAYS OFFICER BEAT
HIM WITH REVOLVER
Frank A. Cook Is Confined
to Home With Badly
Bruised Head.

As result of treatment which he
claims was received at the hands of
Detective T. l.. Powell, Frank A.
Cook, plumber in the employ OF
the Curtis Plumbing company, is
under the care of physicians at lis
home, S02 Quaker street, following
his release from the municipal court
yesterday morning on the payment of
a fine of s15. He declares ne will
institute charges as soon as he is able
to leave his home.
According to the story told by
Cook, who has been resident of
Tulsa for the past several months, the
attack made upon him by Powell was
wholly unwarranted and was the re-
suit of Powell's temper overruling his
Judgment as an officer. That others
assisted in the alleged persecution is
the belief of Cook. although he de-
clares that the second attack made
upon him was made from his back
and he was unconscious for several
hours after the blow was struck.
Is Not Serious.
While Cooks condition Is not con-
sidered serious, he was confined to hts
bed and at their little home last night
his wife undertook to give an account

of the affair, in no minced words eA-
pressing her contempt for the Off
GERS responsible for her husbands
condition, and for the policy pur-
sued In police court, where Cook was
not even permitted to secure counsel.
Cook, according to the story told
by him and his wife, was returning
to place In the alley between FIRST
and Second and Main and Boston
Thursday afternoon, about 1915
o'clock, and was In the act of picking
left on the spot when two officers,
one of them Powell, appeared on the
scene and told, the plumber that he
was under arrest No reason for the
arrest was given, according to Cook,
but he was placed into the patrol and
the trip to the station begun. It was
on the way to the station that Powell
attacked Cook, the latter declares,
and only the knowledge that the Of
ficer was we'll armed and would use
his weapons caused the prisoner not
to resist the attack which was made
upon him with a sixshooter.
Fed With Negroes.
At the station, Cook declares, he
was placed in q cell and fed along
with negro prisoners, and, not know
ing the rules OF the institution, at
tempted to leave when the street
gang was taken out for their after
noon labors.
He was jerked out of the line and
returned to the basement of the Jail.
While sitting on box near the cell
door he claims that one of the en-
ployes of the department came up be-
hind him and nit him over the head,
rendering him unconscious for at
least three hours. He was tried in
police court yesterday morning, pre-
sumably on charge of being drunk,
and was convicted.

called him a murderer that my hus-
band was dubbed as he was" de-
