Governor Cruce Refuses to Take
Successor Jurist Chooses.
j Oklahoma City, Dec. 15. Judge
Wade S. Stanfield of the Sapulpa dis
trict court will not resign, at least, for
the present, he announced in open
court at Sapulpa Thursday. Judye
Stanfield came to Oklahoma City last
week with the intention of tendering
his resignation to Governor Cruce and
asked to be permitted to name his suc
cessor. Two names were presented.
Governor Cruce advised the district
judge that he would appoint neither of
them, and told Judge Stanfield if he
wanted to leave the bench it. must br
without conditions as to the future
judge.
Letters came to Governor Cruce yes
terday saying that Judge Stanfield
read the. governor's letter in open
court and announced that he would not
resign.
Girl Kills a Moose.
Kdmouton, Alta., Dec. 16. Felra B.
Plymate, 19 years of age, who came to
Kdmonton from central Iowa three
years ago, claims the distinction of be
ing the first girl to kill a moose in the
province of Alberta. She brought the
big animal down at 94 yards with a
single shot from a 38-35 rifle while in
the brush, 75 miles north of Edmonton.
The ball tore through the jugular vein,
thus depriving Miss Plymate of the
opportunity of using her sheath-knife.
She was accompanied by her father
and brother and two guides. The party
killed three moose and two deer, also
several hundred rabbits. The hunters
report seeing tracks of bears, lynx,
wolves an dcoyotes, but did not sight
anything but moose and deer. The
party tramped about 95 miles during
the expedition, which occupied a
week. .
MAKING SOMETHING OF LIFE
Real Joy Comes From Creating,
Though the Object May Not Be
of Great Significance.
While every man who makes a liv
ing Is not a genius, yet the real joy of
creating can belong to each of us in
just as real and true a way. If we
put into farming, or banking, or our
school work, the sense of making
something, we get the great pleasure
out of It. When we fill any task with
ourselves, we make something. A girl
says, "I made the room tidy," which
simply means Bhe put something of
herself into the disorderly room, and
so beautified it. After she had made
it tidy. It reflected something of her
self; it looked some idea of order such
as 6he had in her own mind. A boy
says, "I made a good recitation la
school yesterday;" and he is right, for,
although the lesson was already there.
It had to wait for him to come along
and make it a recitation.
So it Is eTerywhere. Making any
thing means, no matter how simple
the task, that we bring out something
that did not exist before; and that
that something is to some degree like
the maker of it. We get out what we
put in. If anyone wants to be miser
able, the surest way is Just to do
things without putting his whole heart
and self into them. Think more of the
mere outside of the tasks, and they
are not worth doing. But once put
yourself into them, and all Is changed.

BOUND TO LOVE EACH OTHER
Probably Third Woman Was Right,
but the Other Two Mutt Have
Felt Somewhat Uncomfortable.
There was a great crowd at the pic
ture exhibition, and empty seats were
at a premium, when two pretty women
spied and made for a place at the
self-same moment. They reached the
prize together, both pretending Ig
norance of the other, and, flopping
themselves down, succeeded in squeez
ing breathlessly and miserably in.
There they sat then, each scowling
and staring at the rudeness of her re
spective neighbor, each wriggling and
squirming as much as possible In or
der to crowd that neighbor still
further. Finally the situation became
acute, and one of the women spoke
with fine sarcasm: "I beg your par
don, but do you need the whole
seat?"
"I beg yours," the answer came,
"but I never talk to strangers."
Just then a third pretty woman
passed, stopped and addressed the
two at once: "Why, to think of find
ing you two here together! And I
have always wanted to introduce you,
because I just know you will just love
each other. Mabel, this is Maud, and
Maud, this is my dear old Mabel. You
aits bound 4o love each other, because
you are so exactly alike in disposi
tion!" Telling the Bees.
The custom of "telling the bees" Is
often referred to by those Interested
in curious happenings. In some parts
of England it has always been the
hi' bit to inform the bees whenever
there is a death in the family, particu
larly when it is that of the master or
mistress.
Some one raps upon the board sup
porting the hives and says: "Mourn
with us, master (or mistress) of the
bouse is dead."
It is thought that if this duty la
neglected the bees will die; and many
old servants are fond of telling how
the bees pine away when no one
thinks to give them the sad message.
America's Oldest University.
The comparatively small connection
the people of the United States have
viUi Peru makes it difficult for many
o realize that in the city of Lima is
'hf oldest university in the new world,
he University of San Harcos, founded
in 1353. At, this historic educational
nstitutlon a students' congress was
held recently that was noteworthy in
Its character. The minister of ln-
i ruction gave a magnificent banquet
in honor of the delegates, at which a
urge number of distinguished guests
vcre present, and at which several
speeches appreciative of closer inter-
" irse between the American nations
were made.

Books Bound in Rat Skin.
It appears that a new use has been
found for the skin of the common
brown rat. In England, it is said, the
bookbinders have taken to using these
skins for covers of fine editions hither
to bound in high grade leathers. It is
reported that a trade amounting to
one-quarter million dollars a year has
developed in Great Britain and that
many skins are imported from Calcut
ta. Rat skins have long been used for
purses, gloves and similar small ar
ticles, and are proving rery useful foi
tliM purposes.
10 PROBE
GUARDIANS OF LO
Oklahoma Delegation in Congress Will
Present Resolution Stirred By
Attacks.
Washington, Doc. 15. That charges
of probable crookedness made against
the forty county and probate judges
of eastern Oklahoma by republicans
In the house, may be answered before
the present session of congress ends,
tlie democratic members of the Okla
homa delegation today conferred and
drew up a resolution requesting Gov
ernor Cruce to order a rigid investi
gation into the activities of profes
sional guardians for Indian children.
Charges of gross abuses in the ad
ministratio nof affairs' of Indian chil
dren were filed with the secretary of
interior and with members of congress
by "M. L. Mott of Muskogee, attorney
for the Creek nation. In the consider
ation of the Indian appropriation bill
these were carried to the floor of the
house by Representative Mann and
Representative Burke of South Dakota
who demanded why no provision had
been made in the appropriation meas
ure for dealing with the question. Dur
ing tho course of their remarks they
made bitter attacks upon Oklahoma
for permitting the alleged practice of
courts to charge exorbitant fees for
tho care of Indian affairs, while but
so small amount was charged for the
care of those of the whites, and de
clared if the fees were as high as had
been charged there could be no doubt
of tho crookedness of the courts.
Connivance Is Intimated.
The charges of the two representa
tives practically amounted to tho state
ment that there was connivance among
the courts and guardians. Representa
tives Ferris, Carter and Davenport
took up the bludbeou in behalf of Ok
lahoma and declared that they wore
much interested iu seeing right condi
tions prevail within the state as was
the minority leader, but they did not
believe tho charges made, however,
they said that they were ready to sup
port those attacking the courts, pro
viding the charges could be proved to
be true. They maintained they did
not believe a word of what had been
said and created somewhat of a sen
sation when they declared that the
charges preferred were only made to
create a rumpus so that sympathy
might be aroused for the hundreds of
employes of the Indian service in Ok
lahoma, whose places are endangered
by the Indian affairs committee's at
titude in refusing to longer tolerate
exorbitant expenses in the administra
tion of the affairs of the Indians of
the state. The attack of the republi
cans was based almost wholly on the
Mott statement. Mott charges extrav
agance an d totally unwarranted allow
ance for personal expenses and main
tenance of wards and that in many
cases others than tho wards them
selves get the benefits of the exces
sive amounts; that there is lack of
proper supervision is shown by the
fact that in eight counties of the Creek
nation there are 4,3:59 cases of guar
dianships iu which the guardian has
made no report or in which the pa
pers and court files are inaccessible.
Attorney Mo't says he made a careful
investigation of the administration of
the estate sof white minors and found
the average administration to be less
than 2',2 per cent o fthe money han
dled, while the cost of administration
of estates of Indian minors amounts to
I more than 19 per cent, both estates
being administered in the same juris
j diction and under the same law. With
'regard to this discrepancy, the report
states:
j "The facts speak for. themselves,
and show a most unjust and destrue
' five discrimination against the minor
.Indian."
I Mott Suggests Remedy.
Attorney Mott suggests as a remedy
the appointment of four attorneys to
render legal services for all the guar-
'dians of minors in the Creek natio
to aid in the selection of proper guar
dians, to bring about the removal of
incompetents and to perform all surv
ives that might be required by any
guardian of any individual minor in
the proper administration of the mat
ters in his charge. From the records of
the courts in the various counties of
the state, Attorney Mott says he learn
ed the names of the minors whose af
fairs are being administered by the
guardians, the amount handled, sales
of land, fees allowed the attorneys for
the guardians, court costs, fees allowed
guardians and total cost of adminis
tration. It is shown, he says, that
the greatest injustice is caused
through the administration of so-called
professional guardians. The report
cites individual Instances where the
cost of administration of estates of
minor Indians has exceeded 90 per
cent of the money handled. Numerous
cases are cited where the cost ranges
from 50 to 73 per cent for the purpose
of showing comparatively the cost of
administration in Oklahoma and cii.er
jurisdictions. Attorney Mott obtaine-.!
data showing that tin? average cosit in
thirty other states does not exc :
3 per cent. The report contends tha
conditions have been aggravated by
the discontinuance of the district
agency plan and in this and other re
spects verifys many statesments made
I by the officers of the Oklahoma de
partment of charities and corrections,
whose report was transmitted to con
gress by the president with his veto of
the act for the removal of restrictions
from some of the lands of allottees
of the live ciilied tribes on August
5. 1012.
Some Comparisons.
Tho atl'airs of a few minor Indians
in Oklahoma are administered by com
petent relatives or business men, the
professional guardians, under the pres
ent system, transacting the larger
amount of business for the minor. At
torney Mott reports that in Muskogee
county, Oklahoma, since statehood,
3S4 guardianships have been in the
hands of professional guardians. These
estates aggregate In value $1,172,000.
In handling these estates court costs
amounted to $43,000 and guardian fees
$72,000, to total exponses of guardian
ship being more than $233,000, or an
amount greater than 20 per cent of
all the funds handled, he says. Of 112
guardianships in the hands of com
petent guardians, the cost of adminis
tration in Muskogee county was only
4 per cent of the amount handled, he
charges, while forty-nino guardian
ships of the estates of white minors
aggregated $1S8,000 and the cost of
administration was only 1.7 per cent
of tho amount handled.
Iu Wagoner county, the administra
tration of tho estates handled by pro
fessional guardians, he says, cost over
24 per cent of their total valuation,
while tho administration of estate
handled by competent guardians cost
only 3 per cent of their value.
In Other Counties.
In Mcintosh county the cost of ad
ministration by professional guardians
amounted to 18 per cent of the total
amount handled, as against 2.3 per
cent in the case of estates handled by
competent guardians, he alleges. In
this county, he declares, the majority
of estates are handled by professionals
who have control of 319 estates of
minor Indians out of a total of 3SC
estates.
Administration by professional guar
dians of minor Indian estates in Tulsa
county cost IS per cent of the amount
handled and by competent guardians
only 4 per cent of the amount handled.
Corresponding alleged differences in
the cost of administration by the pro
fessional guardians as against the ad
ministration by competent business,
men is shown in other counties.
Owing to the attack made upon the
states, Senators Owen and Gore and
Representatives Ferris, Carter and
Davenport believe that Governor Cruce
should lose not a minute in ordering
the Investigation, If the charges are
found to be true, all will insist on just
punishment of those involved; but if
the charges, as they have been regis
tered with government officials and
aired on the floor of the house, are not
true, then tho members of the delega
tion wish to be in position to defend
the name of Oklahoma.
New York Doctors.
Fditor Chieftain:
In your issue of last week we notice
that the Oklahoma School of Medi
cine, at Oklahoma City, is sitting up
nights to congratulate Jtself that it
has beeu recognized by the New York
Medical Regents as a sure enough
medical school.
We, personally do not see any par
We sincerely believe that in every
thing Oklahoma physicians are as
good as any they grind out in New
York. If they are not, then we would
advise our Oklahoma medicos to throw
away their pill bags and go back to
raising corn and potatoes.
As a sample of the kind of doctors
they manufacture in New York state,
we refer you to the clipping below,
from last Tuesday's Daily Jopliu Tri
bune: Ignorance Causes Undue Excitement.
Newburg, N. Y., Dee. 9. Visions of
a great murder mystery prevaded this
city Sunday when an announcement
was made of the discovery of three
human hands among the rubbish on
the city dumping grounds. Four- physi
cians examined the bones. They de
cided they were the bones of three
human hands.
Two of these hands the medical men
declared had been attached to the
bodies of women. The other was that
of a boy. The experts also said that
the hands had. been severed with a
hatchet or equally blunt instrument.
The coroner and detectives began a
hunt to locatu the murderer and his
victims.
Today a taxidermist went to the
morgue and identified the remains as
the paws of a black bear which a hun
ter had brought to him to have stuffed.
He had cut the paws off and thrown
them on the dump.

and loan auditor, was a guest of W. M.
