Two Great Institutions.

st. Mary's Academy and Spaulding
Institute at Nauyoo are doubtlessly
two of the foremost institutions Of
Catholic learning in the middle west,
and it is with deep regret that the
Sisters of that place are compelled
TO face this trouble in the midst of
their great work It is little in this
life that the Sisters of Nauyoo re-
ceive for their labors and worries and
that this failure should come as it does
is indeed unfortunate. For years the
Sisters at that place have worked TO
perfect their schools and now, when
1t seems that the educational insti.
tutions fostered by them have reached
a great height, this financial trouble
comes, and although there is little
doubt but that the academy will sue
cessfully pass through this ordeal.
nevertheless it is a source OF constant
worry to Sisters that might better
have been absent.
During the past few weeks. and
especially during the past few DAYS,
the eye of the entire United States
has been focused on Nauvoo owing to
the great failure of the Fidelity Fund
ing Co. which has supported many
Catholic institutions in building en-.
terprises, and which advanced the
Sisters of Nauyoo money with which
to perfect their schools. During tbs
past forty-eight shours the city ha.
been the scene of many visitors, ant

Will Never close.

Charles Mulch, advisor for the St
Mary's Academy. Nauvoo, is firm in
his belief that the Catholic institu-
ton of learning will never be closed
by creditors owing to the late failure
of the Fidelity Funding Company OF
New York City. a statement to that
effect was made late last evening at
his home in Nauvoo to a Gate City re
porter, who visited him for the purpose
of finding out what effect this great
failure would have upon the academy.
There are TWO strong reasons adj
vanced by Mr.. Mulch to substantiate
this statement in addition TO q mum
Der of minor ones. In the first place
he holds that the academy is well able
to pay any debt that they contracted
for, and second, the buildings would
be OF insufficient value to the person
holding notes if the Sisters owed
more than what they claim legally is
the amount of their Indebtedness.
The first dealings between the Nau-
VOC Academy and the Fidelity Fund
ing Company OF New York dates back
to two years ago. Al that time the
Sisters We're about to construct a
power house, a parsonage and Spauld-
Ing institute which is d school for
boys. Money sufficient to carry them
through in these building enterprises
was advanced by the Funding Co.
and two mortgages were given which
are not collectible for twenty wears.
These mortgages thus given are for
the amounts Of 100000 and $4,000
When the proper time comes. said
Mr.. Mulch, these mortgages will be
paid in full" The interest on the two
mortgages has been paid to date,
The principle notes issued on these
mortgages have been sold direct
Other notes to the amount of 81, 400 90
are being held by eastern capitalists
but they are far in excess of the mort
cages and it is claimed that they ar
not legitimate. THE Academy say
Mr., Mulch, will take the stand i
court that it will pay all legitimat
bills and whatever notes the cou1
proves to be legitimate will be paid"

NORMAN CANCELS
GAME WITH VIN|TA
Local High School Challenges any
High School in the State to Play
for Championship

A message was received last night from
Norman, cancelling the footboll game to
have been played there Thanksgiving day
between the Vinita and Norman high
school teams. This leaves Vinita without
game for Turkey day, unless a game
can be arranged with Bartlesville high
school for that day. The local MANAGE
ment is now endeavoring to get the
Baruesyille team to come here for that
day. The declining Of Norman to meet
the local warriors leaves the state cham
ptonship open and Vinita high school

in the state to meet them on the local,
or neutral ground. for the championship
Of the state This challenge includes the
provision that no team win be considered
that plays other than strictly high school
players. The Vinita school has made a
record that il may well be proud Of, and
to be deprived Of the opportunity Of de-
feating Norman on their own grounds was
a bitter disappointment to the boys
Vinta first attempted to get Norman to
come here. but failing in that, agreed to
journey there for the game. and the fact
that Norman backed out at the last
moment deprives them Of any right to
claim the championship

B|LLUPS BILL IS
CONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Holds That Claimant
in Seizure Case is Entitled to
Jury Trial

Guthrie, Okla, Nov 24.-The supreme
court yesterday in an opinion by Chief
Justice Williams, sustained the authen-
ticity of the constitutionality of the en-
forcement provisions of the Billups law
but held that the claimant in a search ssanC
seizure case is entitled to trial by jury.
The contention that the bill contains
more than one subject is disposed of very
briefly by the court, which had already
held that where the subjects were cognate
that objection would not apply The court
also overules the contention that the pro-
hibition provisions Of the legislation be in
itself enforcing and preclude further legis-
lation along the same line.
THE prohibition article of the constitu-
tion,' says the court, was not intended
as a limit Of restriction upon power of the
people through the initiative or the legis-
lature to enact additional or supplement-
airy legislation relating to the liquor traffic,
except that no enactment shall contra
The opinion recites the anomalous con-
ditions which existed in Oklahoma at the
time the legislation was formed, and con-
tinues: "As a result in many instances
provisions in their nature legislative were
engrafted to meet the wants of the people
and the requirements Of the conditions
prevailing therein" 1t is held, however,
that this fact did not act as bar to ad-
ditional legislation along the same line.
The claim that the search and seizure
sections are in violation of the bill Of
rights, because no notice is given as to
when and where the case will be heard,
is disposed Of by the holding that the war
rant served upon the party in possession,
or posted on the building in case there is
no one there, is sufficient notice that the
property has been seized. as the warrant
contains the name of the judge from whose
court it is issued. and the provisions OF
law that the hearing must be had not less
than ten or more than thirty days after
the seizure gives the claimant abundant
Opportunity to appear.
In granting jury trial in such cases
the court holds that if any other than the
usual procedure was intended the leeisla-
ture would have so expressly decreed. No
reference to procedure is made in the law
and attorneys for the state have held that
no jury trial was intended. The case
came up from Oklahoma City, where
County Judge Sam Hooker refused to issue
search warrants on the ground that the
law was unconstitutional and was man
damused by Enforcement Attorney Fred
S. Caldwell.
