MURRAY PROGRAM
APPEARS DEFEATED
Oklahoma Voters Reject Re-
form Measures Asked
by alfalfa Bill"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, December 19.-
The voters of Oklahoma apparently
have rejected the reform program OF
William H. Alfalfa Bill Murray, whom
they elected Governor by an unprece-
dented plurality November 4, 1890.
Early returns on four bills the Execu-
tive presented for approval of the peo-
pie at special election yesterday were
in opposition by margins ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 votes.
Foes of the bills claimed victory after
the ballots from two-thirds of the pre-
cincts had been tabulated and Ira Fin
ley, Murray's campaign manager, said
that "it seems all the measures are lost,
although the tax bill may have a
chance"
Finley referred to a Measure to in
crease the taxes on large incomes and
reduce the levies against small wage
earners.
The cities and oil towns of the State
polled large majoritieS against the bills
Interest centered today on the returns
from isolated rural communities, where
the vote was favorable.
Unofficial complete returns from 2,307
out of 3,346 precincts gave the income
tax bill 150,950 votes for; 204,441
against. The count on the other meas
ures, from 2,120 precincts, was:
Bill providing for escheat of certain
corporation land holdings: For, 2,e71
against, 198,l50.
Bill to provide free text books and
change the educational system: For,
131.722; against, 203,991.

All Persons Warned Against TAX
ing Christmas Greenery From
Mount Vernon Highway.

Residents of this area will get their
holly and other Christmas greenery
from sources other than the Mount
Vernon Memorial Highway, if the De-
partment Of Agriculture knows anything
about it,
The Bureau of Public Roads of the
department, which is supervising the
construction of the magnificent water
side boulevard to Mount Vernon, an
nounced today that criminal prosecution
for destruction of Government property
will be brought against person taking
Christmas greens along the route of
the highway. Already numerous COM
plants have poured in and the bureau
said it is in possession of automobile
license numbers of those accused of
stripping greenery from along the
boulevard
Guards have now been stationed along
the route to prevent such wanton
destruction" the bureau asserted.
While the highway is not officially
opened for traffic, nothing has been
done to prevent motorists from passing
over the section between Alexandria
and Mount Vernon" said the bureau
announcement. Those who take ad-
vantage of this condition are cautioned
not to disturb any kind of growth"

WILLARD EXPECTS
WAGE CUT ACCORD
B. & 0. President Tells Hoo
yer Agreement on Rail Pay
Can Save s2OO,OO0,00O.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Sounding at the White House a re-
assuring note in the railroad situation,
Daniel Willard, president of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad, today informed
President Hoover he had every conf
dence' negotiations for railroad wage
reductions would be settled peaceably.
The railroad chief estimated $780,
100000 would be added to the carriers
operating Golfers by wage-cut agree
ment, and that, with the 100000 900
to be realized through the Railway
Credit Corporation, the situation would
be made encouraging.
Holds Statement Misconstrued.
He felt the statement put out by
railroad executives last night after their
meeting in New York had been mis-
construed" by many newspapers.
Press dispatches seem to Willard to
have stressed the point that the rail-
road leaders had issued a 30-day ulti-
matum for is per cent wage decrease.
He contended it was made to appear
that this point was the most important
phase of the statement issued.
Says Labor Suggested Notice.
Nothing of the kind" Willard said
emphatically. AS he explained it, some
labor leaders suggested the formal serv-
ing of such notice. Willard said it
would not have been issued that way
Our idea" he said was that the
negotiations should have been pursued
without such a notice, since, if they
should fail, we could always put it out

ton to the participation of Walker D.
