Judge J. c. Ponock's significant in-
structions: There are no special mat
ters wish to charge you with. There
are several matters which I understand
are to be taken up.
1.-THE oath which you took prescribes
your duty. One thing remember, and
that is. obey the oath you have taken
strictly. Investigate any violation of
the law of the United States You
should fearlessly prosecute any person,
no matter of high or low estate. if he
has broken any law of the general gov
ernment. But be careful. Return no
indictment unless you are sure crime
has been committed. No reparation can
be made to an innocent party.
"You will have done your full duty
If you fairly investigate on your oath
any matter brought before you. Do not
consider the standing Of any person ae-
cused. The laws of this government
must be observed whether they AFFECT
people IN or out of position"

THE BREWERS
ARGUMENT T
ON BEHALF OF THEIR INTERESTS
IN INDIAN TERRITORY TRADE.
Declare That 6ootleagers Now Sup
ply the Red Men With Meanest
and Viest Grades OF Whisky.
Mild Drinks Net Debase.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-While Pres
ident Roosevelt took no action on the
request of the leading brewers of the
United States. that If congress
deemed it necessary TO prohibit the
sale of intoXicants to the Indiens in
the new state of Oklahoma, the pro.
hibition be not extended to beer
and other drinks containing less than
Az per cent Of alcohol, ne did give
partial recognition in his annIal mes
sage to the arguments OF the brewers
that prohibition would be ineffective.
AS a result of the petition present
ed 10 the president by the brewers,
advancing some most interesting ar
guments, the White House has receiv-
ed many letters suggesting different
courses of action on the question OF
prohibition in the proposed new
state.
The petition of the brewers was
submitted to the president early in
November. and in his annual message
to congress three weeks afterwards
he referred to the Illicit sale of liq-
uor among the Indians, and stated:
II would urgently press upon the
attention of congress the question
whether some amendment of the in
ternal revenue laws might not Je of
aid in prosecuting these malefactors
known in the Indian country as
'boot-leggers,' who are engaged at
once in defrauding the United States
treasury texes and what Is more
debauching, carrying liquors illicluy
into territory still completely under
the Federal jurisdiction"
The nefarious work of the bootleg
gers in the Indian Territory has long
been n menace to the Indians, and It
was this fact that produced one OF
the best arguments of the brewers.
They asserted that the Iniiians were
now getting the meanest and yilest
grades of whisky, while, If they were
allowed to purchase the light drinks
like beer they would not debase
themselves by Illicit dealings with
the boot-leggers, who carry their sup
plies around in copiously made legs
of boots
