COURT OVERRULES
MOTION TO QUASH
cheftain in Error in Stating Argu
ments We're Heard on lnlunc-
tion Case.

In the report of the county court
proceedings yesterday the Chieftain
inadvertently erred in stating that
Judge Frear heard the arguments in
the injunction case against several
places where it is alleged intoxicants
We're sold. The arguments were on
the motion of the attorneys for the
defense to quash the indictments
found by the recent grand jury against
several Vinitans, charging them with
violation Of the liquor laws. The mo-
tion to quash is based upon alleged
irregularities in the transcript hand
ed down from the district court, in
which it is claimed it is not reported
that the grand jury was charged and
the law requires that the grand jury
shall receive a charge from the presid-
ing. The alignment of the attorneys
in the case were correct as given yes
terday.
When the court convened this morn
ing Judge Frear announced that the
motion to quash was overruled The
attorneys for the defense then filed
demurrers and without argument
We're sustained. The defendants were
held under their present bonds to ap-
pear at the next term of the district

TAYLOR ELECTION
LAW To Be PRINTED
Republican Press Strongly Oppose
Any Move to Let People Under
stand Election Law.

Guthrie, Okla. May 19. - At the
earnest solicitation of many promin-
ent republicans and democrats, Leo.
Meyer, assistant secretary of state,
has caused to be printed the Taylor
election law amendments and those
parts OF the old erection law that We're
not repealed.
silly attack was made upon Mr..
Meyer by yesterday mornings State
Capital because of this fact. The ar
ticle in question objects to this be-
cause the tax payers must pay the
bill, Nothing is of more Importance
TO the tax payer than knowledge Of
this and other important laws and 1t
is an imperative duty of Mr. Meyer
to let the people know the exact truth
in regard to these much discussed
amendments. There are within the
state of Oklahoma nearly 5000 cleo
tion officers who have had no other
means of knowing what the law is
except the newspaper reports, many
of which were entirely misleading.
The secretary of state is the custo
dian Of all laws passed by the lcgis-
lature, and Mr. Meyer was assuming
no authority in compiling the election
law for the election officers and tax
payers but was merely transacting
his sworn duty.
This is the same tactics that was
pursued by the State Capital and kind
red publications after the constitn
tional convention in order to discredit
the constitution. Every one remem-
bers how the State Capital continual
ly asked the question, (Which con
stitution are you going to vote upon,
the real constitution or the one Cuckle
Burr Bill carries in his hip pocket
and changes at his will, or the one
passed by the convention" Now they
ask, which law are you voting upon.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUSPENDS ACTION
Asp Wires Congressman Asking For
Complete Investigation Of the
Action of Attorneys.

Washington. d. c., May 19.-After
receiving the telegram sent by Henry
e. Asp, counsel for Governor Haskell,
one OF the defendants in the Oklaho-
ma land fraud cases, to Senator
Charles Curtis of Kansas, and for
warded by letter to the department
of Justice. Attorney General Wicker
sham has decided that it would not
be for the best interests of the gov
ernment to substitute other consel for
those now conducting the Haskell
land fraud cases in Oklahoma and to
suspend further proceedings, pending
the receipt of testimony in support of
charges, alleging improper conduct
on the part of government counsel
having direction of cases, before the
grand jury.
In commenting upon the matter At
torney General Wickersham stated
it was his firm conviction that the
government attorneys were perform
ing their duties faithfully and eff
ciently and that at this long range
he certainly would not interfere with
their efforts. He stated that he rec
ognized the government attorneys
We're conducting these cases under ad-
verse circumstances and no doubt
were doing their full duty and should
be sustained
IL forwarding Asp's telegram to
the department, Senator Curtis stat
ed that it was his especial desire that
Gregg, who formerly resided in Kan
sas, should be afforded every oppor-
tunity to explain his course before
any action was taken. The telegram
makes the charges against District
Attorney Gregg, Sylvester r. Rush,
special prosecutor of the department
of Justice, and NJ. L. Mott, special at
torney for the Greek Indians.
After giving a resume of the case
the telegram reads; I'VE are prepar-
ed with positive documentary evi-
dence showing various purposes on
the part of Rush, Gregg and Mott,
their determined efforts to
involve partisanship in this investi-
cation. These positive proofs. letters,
afiidayits and papers in the defendants
possession will clearly show Rush,
Gregg and Mott improper persons to
be intrusteu to represent the govern
ment in the administration Of justice |
in these cases.
I'VE are ready to testify to every
thing in these papers and ask that
be stayed until we can
present to the Attorney General |
proof to verify our statements. Please
see the president and attorney gener-
al and ask a stay and wire me at
the earlist moment possible.
Il personally feel that if the at
torney general knew methods adopt
ed by public prosecutors and facts
investigation he would
conduct the investigation impartially
and fairly without personal malice or
partisan consideration.

ment officials, who are pushing the
investigation Five jurors remain to
be selected to fill out the new grand
jury
Tulsa, Okla, May 19.-The United
States court room here yesterday was
the scene Of a pronounced sensation
when counsel for the defendants in
the alleged Muskogee town lot fraud
cases, filed a motion with Judge Mar
shall, disputing the charges of i'm
proper influences having been brought
to bear upon members of the second
grand jury empaneled to hear the eVi-
dence upon which the government
hopes to base indictments, as charged
Saturday, May Is, in District Attorney
Gregg's motion to discharge the grand
jury.
In addition to containing a whole
sale denial of the Gregg charges, the
defendants motion demanded an inn
4hSuiulS anu IuOl lOuSh lHNCSllSdllOIs
and charged the district attorney and
other government counsel with serious
misconduct in his procedure before
the grand jury in order to secure in
dictments.
The court, however, declined to
grant the defendants motion for in
vestigation for the following reasons:
That Gregg's charges, in his motion
Saturday to discharge the grand jury
were too vague and indefinite to be
considered by the COURT that the court
did not consider these charges in dis
missing the grand jury, but that such
action was taken because the govern
ment has the right under the federal
statutes at any time to move the dis
missal of the grand jury and to move
that new jury be summoned; that if
the district attorney had knowledge
of any misconduct on the part of any
juror or other person, he should have
made a definite and specific charge,
relative to such offense or offenses.
AS the district attorneys charges
in his motion to dismiss were general
and not specific, the court refused
the defendants motion for inyestiga-
ton
Members of the grand jury which
was discharged under Gregg's mo-
tion were present in court at the time
of the filing of the defendants motion,
and demanded an investigation on
their own behalf of the Gregg charge
that the jury or members thereof had
been subjected to improper influence.
One juror attempted to file with the |
court a written statement signed by
a majority of the grand jurors, deny
ing Gregg's charges and demanding
an investigation, but the court refus-
ed to hear the same.
Pursuant to Judge Marshalls state
ment in denying the motion of the
defendants for investigation, that /
charges alleging misconduct on the !
part of the governments counsel /
should be filed with the department
of justice at Washington, complete
copies of the defendants allegations
against District Attorney Gregg, Spe-
cial Counsel for the Government S.

Exnlnitinn the Antinns.

A gang of swindlers arrested by the
Toulouse police had for stock in trade
a beautiful antique cabinet and a con-
siderable stock Of audacity With
these they took, for a short lease, a
historic chateau near Toulouse, in
stalling a venerable old lady to play
the part of owner. Then they found
a collector of antiques, persuaded him
to visit the chateau and sold him the
really valuable cabinet at a good
round price. After the bargain was
concluded they invited the victim to
lunch, and while he was eating the
meal the real cabinet was replaced by
a perfect imitation, which the victim
carried off with him. The swindlers,
before their arrest. succeeded in selling
their cabinet thirty-three times, at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000.

Governments That Practically Sprang
Into Being Overnight.
Prior to Jan. Is, 1871, the German
empire, as we know it today, had no
existence. Instead it was tumble
of Kingdoms, states, duchies, grand
duchies and principalities, all joined
together by like language and COM
mon political aspirations, it is true, but
otherwise quite separate and distinct.
Then came the historic ceremony in
the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Par
is had just been captured by King
William Of Prussia, and it was held to
be a fitting time and place to proclaim
him the first German emperor Never
since the dawn Of history was an en-
pire born more dramatically.
BY a strange irony of fate, too, its
birth took place amid the ruins Of the
French empire itself the creation of a
day, or, rather, to be strictly accurate,
of a night. France went to bed on the
evening Of Dec. 1, 1851, a republic
When it awolSe next morning 1t was
an empire. During the hours Of dark
ness Paris had been occupied by
troops. and the prince-president had
become Napoleon III.
Equally sudden and almost as sensa-
tional in it's way was the birth Of the
modern Greek empire. After the yoke
Of the Turks had been thrown off in
the war of independence the country
became republic But the people
soon tired of that democratic form Of
government and promptly proceeded
to assassinate their first and only pres
ident Then they met together, elect
ed a king and settled themselves down
to be ruled by him in a quite orderly
and contented fashion.--San Francisco

A WHISTLER DINNER.

Part at the Banquet.

Sealing Wax Played an Important
Part at the Banquet.
In the Pencils 'Life Of James Mac
Neil Whistler" is the story of a din
ner given by the eccentric artist in
which he was assisted by Mr.. Luke
Ionides, who describes the banquet:
Il remember calling one early after
noon, when Jimmy was busy putting
things straight. He asked me if l had
any money. told him | had u
shillings. He said that was enough
We went out together, and he bought
three chairs at two and sixpence each
and three bottles of claret at eighteen
pence each and three sticks of sealing
wax of different colors at twopence
each. On our return he sealed the top
of each bottle with a different colored
wax. He then told me he expected a
possible buyer to dinner and two other
friends. When we had taken our seats
at the table he very solemnly told the
maid to go down and bring up a bottle
Of wine, one Of those with the red seal
The maid could hardly suppress a grim
but alone saw it. Then, after the
meat, he told her to fetch bottle with
the blue seal. and with dessert the one
with the yellow seal was brought, and
all were drunk in perfect innocence
and delight He sold his picture, and
he said he was sure the sealing wax
had done it."

The GREYHOUND.

Various explanations have been Civ
en- Of the origin Of the term grey
hound, some authors claiming that the
prefix grey is taken from Gralus,
meaning Greek. others that 1t signifies
great, while still others say that 1t has
reference to the color Of the animal.
In no other breed of hounds IS the
blue or gray color so prevalent, and
consequently the last mentioned deri-
walton seems the most plausible.-Lon-
