SELECTION AS CHANCELLOR
Makes Switch to Present Incumbent
After Intending to Name
Another.

COPENHAGEN. Sept. 10.-The
choice Of DR.. George Michaelis for the
post of imperial German chancellor,
according to belated revelations by
the socialist organ Vorwaerts of Ber-
lin, was due to II hasty decision by
Emperor Wilhelm who originally had
another candidate in view and had not
even considered Doctor Michaelis un-
til three hours before his appoint
ment.
The newspaper says that DIR. Won
Bethmann-Holl the former chan
cellor, fell because he had been de-
serted by all parties except the rad
iCals. Ii adds that when the emperor
instructed the crown prince to as
certain whether Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg possessed the confidence of the
reichstag the crown prince found that
only the radicals clearly wished the
chancellor's retention and that the
socialists and conservatives worked
together to overthrow him. Nor-
waerts concludes by saying that
there is no reason to wait for another
invitation to the crown prince to re-
peat the act with regard to Doctor
Michaelis.

Shot Fired at Midnight Kill:

DRUMRIGHT, Okla. Sept. Ii
Mystery surrounds the death of Spe-
cial officer Mccormick. employed by
the Prairie company, whose body was
discovered this morning near the
plant shot thru the mouth. Other
guards heard a shot about 3 o'clock
this morning and rushing to the spot
found the officer dead with his own
gun clutehed tightly in his hand and
one fired cartridge in the cylinder.
At the place where the body was
found there was every indication that
he had stumbled and fell over a stake
driven into the earth to mark a paw
ing grade. In one hand he held his
gun while the other grasped his flash
light. Whether he was pursuing an
intruder and shot himself accidentally
when he fell over the grade stake or
whether he was shot by someone is a
question with local officers.
There is no coroner here and II was
necessary to get in touch with the
county attorney at Sapulpa and con-
suit him in regard to an inquest. II
was impossible TO reach him until
nearly noon and McCormick's body
lay in the dirt where it had fallen
during the entire time. coroner's
jury was finally empaneled and an
inquest held.

COURT WILL NOT RESTRAIN
MEMBERS OF SCHOOL BOARD
Holds Body Can Denote Principal
at Any Time They
Desire

The school row at jerks, which has
been brewing for several weeks, broke
out in the district court yesterday
when ]. S. Lawler and two other tax
payers of the district filed a petition
asking the court to enjoin the school
board from making a change in the
principalship.
\. G. Elliott, who has served for
the past two years as principal of the
jerks schools, made u contract with
the old school board before former
County Superintendent Maxwell wen;
out Of office. The contract, as always
is the case, did not specify which po-
Sition Elliott was to have during the
coming year, but from the $1,000 sal
airy which his contract called for and
the fact that he had not been notified
differently, il was assumed that he
would again be superintendent.
After Mrs. Minnette Hedges took
office July / as county superintendent
the jerks school board, which had
changed in membership since the con-
tract vas made with Elliott with the
exception of one member, made a
contract with n II. Henry with the
intention, the petitioners stated, of
making hi superintendent.
Judge Mcneil refused yesterday TO
grant the restraining order asked for.
which would have kept the board
from paying any money to Henry or
from Interfering with the discharge
of the duties as superintendent by Ell
lott. In the absence of such order,
the board likely will go ahead and
reduce Elliott to the position OF
teacher.
The Judge based his refusal to en-
Join the board upon the fact that no
contract had been made TO keep El-
llott as principal and that the board
has the authority to place its teachers
in the positions Is desires.
