Prosecuting Attorney Says Mattel
Will Not Be Dropped.
Tulsa, Okla, April 12-Governo1
Charles N. Haskell, Oklahoma's first
chief executive, and the six othe1
prominent Oklahomans indicted by
the federal grand jury charged with
fraud in Muskogee town lots will not
have to stand trial. The motion OF
the defendants to quash the indict.
ments was upheld here by Judge John
A. Marshall of Utah in the United
States circuit court.
The court, in it's decision, which
was very lengthy, quashed the indict.
ments on the ground that they were
returned by grand jury composed OF
twenty-three men under the federal
law, instead Of by jury of sixteen,
as provided for by the Arkansas law,
which was held to be in force in old
Indian territory by federal enactment
at the time when the alleged frauds
were committed.
Sylvester Rush, special assistant at.
torney general, who worked up the
cases for the government, stated after
the opinion was handed down that he
would again present the matter to the
grand jury, submitting it without de-
lay to the body now in session:
Attorneys for the accused asserted
that the statute Of limitation will in
tervene to prevent new indictments
being returned. 1t is stated that the
last overt act charged against the de-
PENDANTS was committed in April, 1905,
and that the statute of limitation in
cases of this nature runs but for three
years. <..
The aggregate wealth of the seven
men affected by the decision is said to
be over $2,0OO,OOO. The indictments
against them numbered thirteen and
they were returned at Muskogee after
a lengthy grand jury investigation
conducted by Sylvester Rush OF
Omaha, witnesses being brought to
the state from Ohio, Michigan and

Section of Alabama Statute Declared
Unconstitutional.
Mobile, Ala, April 12.-One Of the
strongest sections of the state pro-
hibitory law was declared unconstitu-
tional by Justice Mayffeld at Mont
gomery. The section knocked out
prohibited the storing or possession of
liquor in any building or apartment
which was inhabited. Judge Mayfeld
declared that the statute was in con-
flict with the federal bill Of rights,
which held that every mans home is

the search warrants issued to seize
liquor were illegal and that warrants
could be issued only after evidence
had been discovered and not on q
chance of securing evidence.

power, I am the resurrection and the
Life, saith the Lord: he that believ-
eth in me, though he were dead, yet
shall he live; and whosoever iveth
and believeth in me shall never die
This dear friends, is the Gospel I
would declare unto you.
And now to come to our second
point-how are we called upon to
maintain this Gospel and to keep
this truth alive in the world? Just
before our Blessed Savior assembled
into heaven,H He said to His disciples,
'Ye shall be witnesses unto me. ;
The Greek word which we have
translated witness is the same from
which we get the word martyr. Now
we think of a martyr as one who has
shed his blood for the cause of
Christ. But the meaning is broader
than that, and includes all those who
are willing to give up their lives that
in Christ they may find them again.
And l would remind you there is
more than one way of giving up
life. The earth re-echoes with our
cheers for him who pours out his
life's blood in defence of his country
or of friend-and rightly so. Yet

IGNORES CHICAGO POLICE
States Attorney Causes Raid on Gam

otate'S attorney CauSeS Hald on GAM
bling Houses.
Chicago, April 12.-Gamblers and
poolroom operators of Chicago re-
ceived the surprise of their lives when
1923 of them were captured in four ex-
citing raids by detectives under direc-
ton of States Attorney Wayman and
locked up in the Harrison street police
station. .@.,.. ....
Without the knowledge of the po-
lice, who by inuendo are charged with
taking tribute from the gamblers as a
bride to leave the games unmolested,
the states attorney ordered his as
sistants to swoop down on more than
twenty-five places where gambling
was reported to be in progress. AL
though many ofsthe keepers received
information in time to close three of
the largest places in Chicago we're
raided and the inmates arrested.

comparatively few Of us are called
upon for such services. We may
never have either the occasion or
the opportunity Of proving our
valour by using the Templar's
sword. But this shall not shut US
out from the Noble army Of Mar
tyrs.' We may give up our lives in
doing justice, and extending mercy
to our fellowmen, and walking
humbly before our God. And if
anyone here thinks this is the lesser
martyrdom- this keeping self in
the background while we put God
and our fellow-men to the forefront
of our lives-I fear he has never
been called upon to do the one, and
has never faithfully tried to perform
the other.
ssFather Damien knew the true
meaning of martyrdom, when he
gave up country, friends,' and
brilliant prospects, to go and
spend long years, and finally to
die among the lepers congregated
on an island far out at sea. But
it is not necessary for us to seek
even such unusual service.

task, .....-

"Sir Knights, we are picked
men and marked men. We are
set to defend the Bride of Christ.
We must be vlrtuous men, throw
ing the full force of our manhood
against the wrong, and in defence
of the right. The days of perse-
cution and blood shed may be
over, but the days of neglect, of
sight, even of insult, to the
heavenly spouse are with us still.
There is work for each of US
to do, and very near at hand. The
Church of God is calling upon us
for loyal support. The communities
in which we live are challenging US
to exemplify' the teachings of the
cross in our lives. And these appeals
are but the echoes of the Voice of
Him Who is our way, our truth, our
life. With unsullied honor, and un-
Wearied zeal, let us set manfully to
the task that is before US: hoping
ever, praying always, for the advent
of that glorious day when the
mountain of the Lords House
shall be established in the tops of
the mountains; when swords shall
be established in the tops of the
mountains: when swords shall be
beaten into plow-shares, and spears
into pruning-hooks: when nation
shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war
any more; when the reign of the
Blessed Emmanuel, the Prince of
Peace, the Great Captain of our
Salvation, shall be universal and
eternal"
