That Is nonsense,
Since we have read eight or ten AZ
ddayits made by citizens Of distant
states. the reason for this action can
be judged by the public Here is a
sample from the affidavit of a Michi
gan citizen
one of the secret service men called
on him in his Michigan home. and
said to him in substance; you never
were a citizen Of Indian Territory, yet
there was a Muskogee lot In your
name; that means serious trouble for
you. unless some one else was re-
sponsible for scheduling that lot, and
we think Haskell was the one who did
it. II that is so you will be let out and
Haskell held We don't want TO make
you any trouble, but we want to get
Haskell"
Now reader that is a fair sample
What do you think OF that way Of
the Michigander and landing
on Haskell?
Mind you. now, II there was any
error. 1t was an honest error Of the
government officials.
II the remainder Of the lot value is

LIQUOR QUESTION
TO SUPREME COURT
Justice Doyle Thinks This Necessary
to Settle Federal Questions on
Interstate Shipments.

Guthrie, Okla, April 9-That the
question Of interstate shipments of in
toxicating liquors into Oklahoma
should be put before the supreme
court Of the United States in order
that federal questions arising in the
enforcement of the prohibitory laws
of the state might be finally decided
is the opinion Of the criminal court of
appeals IN the decision handed down
Wednesday by Jstice Doyle In reyers.
ing the conviction OF Josh McCord,
who was given a $500 fine and 60
days imprisonment in Grady county
for having in his possession five bar.
rels of beer which were captured on a
dray between the depot in Chickasha
and McCords place OF business. The
beer had been shipped TO MeCord by
the National Liquor company Of Fort
Worth, Texas The beer, though plain
ly consigned to McCord. had never
been delivered to him.
Justice Doyles opinion is a resume
Of the various opinions OF the crimin.
al court of appeals on the interstate
shipment and going much further than
these outlines, the attitude of the high
court towards many features of the
prohibitory law and ends with the
recommendation AS the prohibitory
law of this state possesses original
features and differs in many ways
from the legislation OF other states,
the public interest demands that the
federal questions arising in connection
with the prohibition law should be set
tied by a direct appeal to the United
States court"
That various questions in connec-
ton with the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory laws of the state are federal
in nature, TO an extent at least and
should be appealed to the highest and
final tribunal has been felt for some
time both by the criminal court of APP
peals and by Fred S. Caldwell, state
enforcement attorney The officers OF
the counties have urged such as many
questions especially from interstate
shipments place them between two
fires If they do not enforce the law
to the letter, custer proceedings from
the state enforcement department
threaten them IL they obey the letter
Of the Blllups bill, they are in danger
of having their bondsmen attacked In
both state and federal courts. as was
often the case In South Carolina dur
ing the dispensary days
For this reason the criminal court,
in Justice Doyle's opinion, covered the
entire ground as far as possible by
the state courts and this case will
doubtless be the one carried to the
supreme court of the United States.
