TO EXTEND THE COURTS
Till Dockets are cleared-MeCuire
win Inioduce a Bill.

Oklahoma City, Ok. Dec. One
Of the most important things which
Delegate B. S. Mcclure Of Okla
homa will direct the attention Of
congress to this winter is the con-
dition of the federal court dockets
in the Indian Territory, in which
he will ask special act BY con-
gress to continue the present courts
as they are until after ''iu sight
business is cleared away. Unless
this can be done courts Of the IN
dian country will be in bad shape
when statehood is finally adopted
and only one federal judge is select
ed to transact the business.
II is estimated at the present
time that there are enough cases on
the present dockets to keep all the
eight judges now employed busy
for two years, even If another case
was not docketed. Under the enabl.
ing act these must be transferred
to the new state courts, which II Is
admitted would congest them to a
degree that would be discouraging
at the start The general impres
sion Of those familiar with condi'
tions, Is that the best course to pur'
sue is to ask for the continuation
Of at least four OF the eight Indian
Territory judges, and three Of the
seven in Oklahoma until they car
clean up the dockeis. Speaking II
regard 10 the importance Of som.
congressional action in which ths
proposed arrangement could b
made Judge J. T. Dickerson. one o.
the best known judges in the Ind
ian Territory. this week said:
"It would seem that congress in
tended to transfer all fhe lndial
Tersitory criminal docket to th'
federal docket Of the eastern dis
trict after statehood. There will b
6. 900 to 5000 cases pending in In
dian Territory at the time. Their
will probably be 900 murder case
on the docket. 1t takes from tw'
to ten days to properly try a murd
er case. Think Of the work that
by this sweeping act. would b
placed Upon judge, and think 0
the length Of time it would tax
him to dispose of this vast amour
of business thar. under the act
would be transferred to the Unite'
States court -

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 5.-The
prohibition advocates are greatly
pleased tonight at the selection Of
the liquor traffic committee as made
today by President Murray. A
number OF the committee have been
interviewed. among them E.O. NC
carce of Mutual, who takes no un.
certain stand in the following
language: Il stand for consitut.
ionaI prohibition. l was elected
largely because Of my position up
on that question. I do believe that
TO extend prohibitory clause over
Oklahoma Territory, making the
new state uniform, will in any de
gree tend to diminish its wealth or
curb its prosperity: but if il did. I
am opposed to placing bricks and
mortar above flesh and blood"
Delegate Caudill Of Hobart, when
asked his views on prohibition, re-
piled as follows: II am in favor of
the plank and enabling actextend-
ing throughout the state Of Okla
hema fol twenty-one years, SO as
to be in harmony with Indian Ter.
ritory, and and to avoid class legis-
lation. l want a clean constitution
and clean state. And with thirty
five years experience, and having
tried high licenes and local option, /
am thoroughly convinced that state
prohibition win be the best for the
whole state and I hope to see it put
in the constitution.
The above expressions would in
dicate that the Anti Liquor League
has at least two mighty strong ad-
vocates on this committee.

Guthrie, Okla. Dec. 5-Tbe
most important matter before the
convention yesterday was the ap-
pointment Of the committee on Ii
qnor traffic and county boundaries.
1t was quite surprise to the deli
egtaes, as it was understood they
would not be appointed for some
days. It was given out that the
roster of the committee on liquor
traffic stood nine for constitutional
provision and six Tor local option.
The democratic politicians favor
local option and they will endeavor
to have that kind of a clause in the
constitution 1t is talked about
that if constitutional provision is
enacted in the constitution that il
may impair the chances of the
adoption of the constitution by the
people. The question will be thor
oughly aired by the delegates when
the committee reports.
In the selection of the COMMITTEES
on county boundaries, the president
did not name one member of the
twelve apostles. but instead named
ten members from the Indian Teri.
tory and FIVE from Oklahoma. The
latter consists Of Roberts of Greer
county. Tracey Of Beaver county.
Tenor Of Dewey county, Carr and
Turner ofComanche county. II is
generally understood that the In
dian Territory delegates have de-
cided upon their lines. which con.
stitute the third and fourth con.

up to Oklahoma to map out Their
lines in counties that are desirous
Of changes In the matter Of nam
ing the county seats is yet ques-
lion and in all probability they viii

porary county seats aud let the
people Of the counties vote for the
