HO DOUBT OF PRESIDENTS
HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS.
FAILED TO PLEASE
Many Reasons Why Mr. Taft'i Ad
ministration Has Been Unpop-
ular—Cabinet Under Cloud.
(BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER)
Washington, Sept, 26—President Taft
has made It plain that he hopes and
expects to secure a re-nomlnatlon for
the Presidency.
This means that he does not even
yet see the point conveyed In the re-
turns of the recent elections. It Is
evident to many that the President
sees no significance In the fact that
from Maine to California the candi-
dates branded with his Indorsement
have been retired to private life by
overwhelming majorities, while those
having his opposition have everywhere
been elevated by the people.
In view of the decisive repudiation
of the Taft administration In the re-
rent elections, it becomes interesting
to the identity of the men whose ad-
vice the President has followed to his
political downfall. Here are some of
the men In the Taft cabinet whose
pedigrees make It plain why Mr. Taft's ' gidered alarming,
administration bus failed to please the
cmnftion people.
Attorney General Georse C. Wicker-
sham—Former attorney for the sugar
trust; (It was be who Induced Presi-
dent Taft to recommend in his annual
message against a Congressional In-
vestigation of the t2.060.ORO sugar trust
underweight frauds); Immdiately up-
on taking office Wlctoercbam dropped
suits which had been started against
the beef trust, taking the position that
lie did not believe members of the
trust "meant" to riola^ the law and
that nothlnc could be gained through
prosecutions for "past" offenses;

BUGGY COLLIDES
WITH AUTOMOBILE
RUNAWAY FOLLOWS COLLISION,
VEHICLE OVERTURNING.
Mrs. L Oppenheimer Has a Remar-
kable Escape From Death or
Serious Injury.
Contract Let Yesterday For Seven
Bungalows in Talcoe Addition.
To Be Handsomest in City.
At about 8 o'clock Sunday night
Mrs. L. Oppenhelmer, who had with
her two of the Losee children, had a
narrow escape from serious injury,
growing out of a collision with an au-
tomobile.
She was driving not far from the
Losee home on South Seventh street,
when an auto occupied by Mr. Jewell
McDonald brushed against the horse
with some force, the Impact breaking
one of the shafts of th# buggy.
The frightened horse started to
run and In front of the Garmany
place the vehicle waa overturned,
throwing out the occupants, who nar-
rowly escaped {ailing into a pile of
rocks. As It was, Mrs. Oppenhelmer
received gashes oa her fact and ankle
and severe body brulaes, but escaping
broken bones. The children were not
badly hurt, although receiving minor
bruises and scratches.
The buggy righted Itself after the
occupants were thrown out and the
horse ran about a%lock farther, when
he stopped of his own accord. The
buggy wa« badly wrecked.
Mrs. Oppenhelmer Was getting
along very well yesterdsy, suffering
some from her injuries, but not ap-
parently seriously hurt.
There is something doing In the
building line in Temple, a new thea-
ter now actually under construction
and seven handsome bungalow* to
be built at once, being the latest in-
dustrial Items of interest.
The several brick business bouses
under way have kept things looking
lively during the summer and out In
the residence districts quite a number
of new homes have been built
They have made good showing for
spring and summer, and now come
new undertakings to take their place
and to show that Temple is still mov-
ing, as well as giving employment
to workmen and sales of material to
dealers and furnishers.
Yesterday, Monday, Mr. J. A. Cole
let a contract, thought to be the
largest single contract ever closed In
Temple, for residence property. He
signed the papers for the erection of
seven modern bungalows, each to cost
*2,#00 or more. They are to be
i,ullt for horoe* and not for rent, and
as they are turned out by the con-
tractor they will be offered for sale,
and locked up until sold. Every
modern convenience and arrange-
ment compatible with the price will
be given these houses, and for »2.-
000, adopting the bungalow style of
architecture, there can be erected a
building which most anybody would
delight to live In and which will be
imposing.
Mr. Cole, a* is to be expected, has
chosen lots In Talcoe Addition, in
which he Is interested. He has faith
in the location and with all these
new houses going up In that section,
added to the considerable number of
nice homes already there, the addi-
tion will show up fine, which Is of
course one of the objects in locating
them there.
Another "Industrial" Item to de-
velop yesterday was the breaking of
ground for a brick building immed-
iately to the north of The Telegram
office. This lot waa recently pur-
chased by G. Brotherman, who Is
erecting the building, snd It la leas-
ed to the Air Dome management for
a term of years. It fills in the last
gap on lower First street and In fact.
It completes the occupancy of the
street on both sides from the railroad
to the square, all In (>rick or rock,
saving one vacant lot adjoining the
Bruner & Patterson house which, It
is understood. Is soon to be covered
with a brick building.

Messrs. F. L. Denison and P. L.
Downs were yesterday engaged In
showing the city to a party of con-
structing engineers who are inves-
tigating the gaa plant possibilities

been investigations made of the Tem-
ple gas situation, and of the party

McAlester, Okla., Sept. 2C.—-Over
ruling a motion to refile a demurrer
in the Haskell, Turner and Eaton
cases on the ground that objection
could be raised when proof is at-
tempted, Judge Marshall ordered
Marshal Victor to begin calliag jurors
and the panel of the Jury proceeded
today.
Fsderal court convened here at 10
o'clock this morning. Judge John A.
Marahall of Utah presided, and the
first case called was the blanket con
splracy indictment against Governor
liaakell, G. W. Turner, Walter Eaton,
W. T. Hutcbins, A. Z. English and F.
B. Severs, charging a conspiracy to
interfere with the United States gov-
ernment In Its gale of the townsite of
Muskogee for the benefit of the
Creek tribe of Indians, under treaty
stipulations.
Under the treaty each person was
entitled to two lots at one-balf of
the appraised value. The government
chargea that these men conspired by
the use of dummy schedules from
whom they subsequently secured quit
claim deeds.
After jurors were called Judge
Stewart, on behalf of Governor Has-
kell, filed an application for a con-
tinuance on the ground of the press-
ing character of the public business
of the Governor. Judge Marshall
said he did not believe a privilege
exists as a privilege and the motion
for a continuance was denied.
The case was nolled as to A. K.
English and F. B. Severs. The lattsr
have settled the civil suits growing
out of the transactions on which an
indictment Is found, paying heavy
suma to the Creek nation.
Judge Stuart, chief counsel for the
defendants, announced that the de-.
clalon of the United States court of
appeals of the Eighth clrcut, in the
case of Lonabaugh vs. United States,
eliminated the group of indictments
against Haakell, Turner and Eaton
and he asks permission to re-flle the
demurrer, .previously passed upon.
Sylvester Rush, special assistant at-
torney general, objected to this and
Judge Marshall denied the motion.
He said that the question could be
properly raised when Introduction of
proofs begin.

West Point. N. Y„ Sept. 26.—Near
mutiny Is rampant among the corps
of cadets at the United States Mili-
tary Academy. Administering "the
silence" to Capt. Edwin London, an
instructor, caused the trouble, and
throughout yesterday the cadets have
been under severe measures of dis-
cipline.
It appears that Captain Landon
who has been stationed here since
Sept. 11 a« a tactical officer. Incurred
the displeasure of the cadets In some
manner, and when ho entered the
mess hall last night he was greeted
with the indignity of silence.
Immediately the offending cadets
were ordered to their rooms supper-
less, but despite their hunger the
"silence" was repeated this morning
at breakfast, and once more the of-
fenders were locked In their rooms,
after having been forced to maroh
with arms five times around the
barracks.
Because of the actions, a hop that
had been arranged was conceiled,
greatly to the embarrassment of a
number of young women who had
come to the academy from New Tort,
Albany, Poughkeepsle, Newfourg and
elsewhere.
