under the provisions Of the act Of the
FIRST legislature or OF any authority Of
any law or rule, written or unwritten

CRIMINAL COURT
GIVES DECISION
No Violation Of Law Where Voluntary
Liquor Agent Had No Financial
Interest in Deal.

Guthrie, Okla. Sept. 27.-That
man who volunteers to go and ge
liquor for another is not violating tn
law, unless he can be shown to hav,
finaciaI interest in the transaction
is the holding of the criminal court 0
appeals in the case of John Reed, from
Grady county, which is reversed ant
remanded in an opinion by Justice
Owen.
In this case it was shown that one
H. Owens asked negro woman where
he could get some whisky. She re
ferred him to Reed. who was in the
next room. When the query was pro
pounded to Reed he replied:
IF you'll give me dollar I'll gel
you some."
He then went out and shoytly afteE
ward returned with two halI-piIt BOZ
ties, which he delivered to Owens.
Following Florida decision to thl
same effect. the court holds that a
conviction can not be had where the
evidence shows that the defendant had
no interest in the liquor sold nor in
the money paid for it, but acted only
as the agent and friend of the purchas-
er in procuring liquor.
The appeals Of d. B. Mccullough of
Muskogee county; Cory Elerick, Cad
do county; Kelly Baker, Carter coun-
ty; and Walter Edwards, Carter coun-
ty, all liquor cases, were dismissed
in opinions by Presiding Judge Fur
man because of errors In the records.
The cases of A. J. Michael, Craig
county, and Andy Yaltz, Coal county,
charged with prohibitory violations,
were reversed because of improper
transfers from district to county court,
while the cases of w. H. Stalk, Co
manche county, and Joe Bell, Pontotoc
county, under similar charges were
affirmed.
In the case of Nick Carter, not the
detective, from Coal county. it was
held that an Indictment charging the
defendant with playing "at game of
cards, played for money and common
ly known as poker" was sufficient.
Uarter's demurrer was sustained by
the lower court. The state appealed
and secured a reversal of the lower
court in an opinion by Justice Owen.
That the county court has not juris-
diction to try case brought on COM
plant of a private citizen in justice

has no jurisdiction, and which is then

yiction of Alex, Moody, convicted in

LAND SUITS KNOCKED OUT.
Demurrers in Oklahoma Title Cases
Started Are Sustained.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug 27.-Judge
Ralph Campbell has sustained the de-
murrers in the suits brought by the
United States to set aside various
deeds and leases made by citizen allot-
tees in the five civilized tribes in
eastern Oklahoma, and thus settled a
legal controversy that had been the
cause of considerable concern in that
part of the state.
The court reviewed the relation of
the United States to the five tribes
since they became nation, and found
that no vestige of title to the lands
allotted them now remains in the
United States. The demurrers in
volved the question of the citizenship
of these Indians and the court de-
clared them to be citizens of the
United States with all the rights, priv
ileges and immunities of citizenship.
It is held that the United States can.
not maintain these suits on the prin.
ciple that it sustains to the individual
Indian trust relation, such guardian.

resented in Some Land Matters.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 21.-"As long
as any public lands remain to be ad-
ministered, there will be complaints"
declared Secretary Of the Interior,
Richard A. Ballinger, speaking of the
recent discussion at Spokane and the
complaints concerning the reclamation
service.
"Some of the settlers on the reclaim
alton projects" he continued, "were
ignorant of the conditions which
would confront them and they settled
on the land expecting to reap for
tune without the necessity of under.
standing irrigation methods. They
have been disillusioned, and now de.
sire the government to release them
from their contracts and to reimburse
them for their expenditures.
II realize there are some things in
the law governing the disposition of
public lands which ought to be modi-
fled and shall suggest such changes
in a report to congress. In the mean
time, the established policy of the in
terror department will continue.
There have been gross misrepre-
sensations regarding action of the de-

LATHAM Is AERIAL VICTOR
BREAKS DISTANCE RECORD, FLY.
ING 95.s8 MILES.
With Two Slight Exceptions, He Now
Holds Every
Record.

Bethany Field, Rheims, Aug. 81
Hubert Latham, the French AVIATOR
took glorious revenge for the hard
luck which he experienced in his re-
cent attempts to cross the English
channel, and his indefeatigable but
hitherto unsuccessful efforts to &C.
complish some notable achievement
during the present meeting, by estab-
fishing a new worlds record for dis
tanee, 154 kilometers, $50 meters, or
1888 miles.
Latham covered Is laps, or $50
kilometers in two hours, 10 minutes,
8 seconds, and the full distance in 2
hours, 10 minutes, 9 3-5 seconds,
which also are worlds records, the
flight being at the rate Of about 6Sh
kilometers an hour, as compared with
531h made by Wright at Lemans and
fraction under SO made by Paulham
Wednesday.
Except for the one lap speed rec
ords made by Bleriot and Curtiss this
week, Paulham's time record in the
air, Latham now holds every record
for distance and speed. Like Paul
han, he descended only when the gas
oline tank was empty.
Nothing could have exceeded the
beauty and impressiveness of the
prolonged fight. In grace of lines no
other aeroplane here compares with
Latham's monoplane. The slightly
tilted planes from the long skiff-like
body give it a resemblance, when
close, to a winged canoe, while sail
ing high up in the air it looks from
the distance like mammoth dragon
