among Mir. Farrell. Mr. Taylor or Nathan L. Miller, former governor Of New York and now the general counsel for the corporation.
 Mir. Farrell. as the chief under study of Mir. Gary, was regarded in steel circles as the Illogical choice" His efforts have been so concentrat- cd on the operating policies of the corporation, with which he is thor cughly familiaA that there was a feeling in some quarters that he would be too valuable in his present position to replace, and tha: it would be impossible for him to continue his present work and to take over the added responsibilities of the chairmanship.
 Mir Taylor was regarded in many quarters as the choice of George F. Baker and the First National bank interests, with which he has been closely identified in recent years. While not so well known as either Mir. Farrell or MT. Miller. he is re- SdIucu ny DdilhtIS dS d I1ldHCldi genius. and eminently qualified to take over the financial responsibili- ties of the corporation. It is there fore believed that his special talent along this line will be employe1 by making him chairman of the finance committee.
 NIr. Miller has been frequently mentioned as the personal choice of Mir. Gary for his successor. It is recalled that at the last annual meeting of the corporation, Mir. Gary presented MT. Miller to the stock holders as q sort of spokesman for the corporation. which was con- strued in some quarters as a gesture of Mir. Gary's approval.
 Banking interests identified with the corporation have agreed upon the need of a strong executive chair man 10 succeed Mir. Gary. Upon their inability to agree, it is believed

that Mir. Morgan was induced to accept the chairmanship as ! sort of a "stop gap"
 It Is considered extremely doubt full that he would drop his banking affiliations and assume the mutitu- dinous tasks and responsibilities that confront an executive of a corpora tion as large as that of United States Steel. This view seems to be borne out by the fact that for the last few years Mir. Morgan has been gradually relieving himself of many of the responsibilities of his own firm and turning them over to his partners. He has a natural dislike for the spotlight" into which he would be thrown by being the head of the steel corporation.

 U. 5. OBSERVERS
Americans in Southwest Africa
 Annoyed

WashinEton. Doc. 1.-The isola- lion of the American observers on NJ. Brukkaros. south West Africa, where the National Geographic So- ciaty maintains q solar observatory m cooperation with the Smithsonian 1rstitu,ion. has been relieved recent " by visits from 2 leopard, accord ing 10 a letter from inc director. W. II. Hoover. The visitor paid his re- spocts to the Americans chickens enc night. and since that time he has returned frequently and roar'i lis dSapproval on finding the chick an house locked.
 Traps having failed, the Arleri- cans have appealed 70 the Hottentos tribe. on whose reservation the ob- s"ryatorv stands. for aid in catching fhe proWlar. lu the course Of time the Hcttentot Captain will send out a crowd Of boys armed with clubs and abetted by dogs, from whom the leopard will have but 6 slim chance Of escape.
 The Hottentots are loathe 70 be- leve that the observers are not lainmakers and weather fore casters. A rumor started that they lad predicted early rains for the year. and when 8 good general raln fell in October. people refused 'o believe that they were not wizards.
 The purpose of the Brukkaros ob- soryatory, for which the National lieogra phic Society supplied th, funds. is to measure daily the amount of heat given off by the sun. These measurements will i'm prove the accuracy Of the measure rnents already being made at the Smithsonian obscrvatories in Chile and California. and 90 advance the investigation of the relations De- tween solar yaria ton and our Neath- er. There seems strong reason 10 believe that a rela tionship of thls sort exists. and if il can be deter mined, a new tool will be put in the hands of the weather forecaster.
 The Brukkaros observers have been making daily measurements for more than a year, and by the alu of very laborious computations they have been preparing a table which will enable them to apply the neces- sary correction to the measurements for every condition of humidity ana 17aziness of the earth's atmosphere in the region of Mt. Brukkaros. When this table is completed, the observers will cable daily values for the solar heat 10 the Smithsonian Institution.
 Although co miles from the near est center of white hahtation. ana dwelling on an arid and desoiatc mountain. the Americans, who m clude beside Director Hoover. ms wife and little girl, and assistant Fred A. Greeley. report that they have spent a happy and full year. With the aid of Hottentot masons they have built themselves a tool shcp and computing room, ana they have constructed refrigerator which. with a mechanical attach men; will give them homemade ice. The October rain filled their water reservoir and may tighten the loads of their burros. which with an auto mobile, insure their necessities from the neighboring town. During the hunting season, they have 1resh meat Of the spring bok. which they find excellent when cooked with bacon, and not 'so gamy as New Hampshire vcnison."

Oklahoma City. Okla. Dec. 27 P Declaring impeachment proceed ings instituted by the self-convened house of the Oklahoma legislature resulted from his efforts to "uncover fraudulent schemes" Governor Hen ry S. Johnston again has denied all charges voted against him.
 His latest reply to the legislators came last night when he accepted q challenge to discuss the impeach- ment inquiry at a mass meeting. He reviewed the various allegations without stating definitely whether he would conform to a summons to ap pear tomorrow before the senate which is scheduled 10 convene then as q court of mpeachmenl.
 F.. r. Hill, speaker of the house opened the meeting by enumerating twenty-three questions prepared by legislators. The discussion was broadcast.
 Representative Hill pointed 10 several court decisions supporting the contention of the governor that the legislators have no right 10 call a special session. The state supreme court ruled shortly after the session was called December 6 last, that such procedure was illegal. 1njunc- tions were then obtained by the gov ornor In district courts forbidding the legislature 10 proceed with the investigation and also denying any pay to members.
 Democratic government In Okla homa would be in danger of being wiped out if the supreme court or der was obeyed." said Mir. Hill. "The injunctions in district court deny the people a voice in the state govern ment and set up officials as dicta- tors.'
 Governor Johnston ccntered his discussion on the allegation of in- competency, one of the six preferred against him.
