GOVERNORS RIGHT
IS QUESTIONED
Educational Institutions Object to
HaskelPs Action in Cutting
Appropriations.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar S1.-Steps will
be taken in the immediate future on
behalf of some of the educational in
stitutions whose appropriations We're
slashed by Governor G. n Haskell to
test the governors right to reduce in
dividual items in an appropriation bill.
The constitution gives him the right
to veto items in an appropriation bill,
but says nothing in regard to his
changing the amounts appropriated
for specific purposes by the legisla-
ture.
This action was taken by the gov
ernor on the advice of Attorney Gen
eral Charles j. West, who said that it
was done in Pennsylvania, where there
was a similar constitutional provision,
and that 1t was all right here
Many other lawyers, however, who
have been consulted in regard to the
matters by representatives of boards
or institutions whose appropriations
have been cut in that way, take a diff
ferent view and declare that the right
to veto an item does not include the
right to change its amount. They as
sert that if the governor has the right
to lower items in an appropriation bill
he would also have the right to raise
them, which no one would maintain to
be the law.
Their contention is that the COVER
nor must either approve or reject the
various items and has no more right
to change them than he would have
to change the language ia any other
law
The educational institutions suffered
the most from this class of cutting the
appropriations made in lump sums for
various departments being frequently
cut in half

some minutes after the fight with a
bullet in his body.
All the men were arrested by the

BILLUPS LAW GETS
ANOTHERHARDJO JOLT
Criminal Court of Appeals Holds Per-
son May Bring In Liquor From
other States.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 31.-Another
body blow was given the Billups liquor
law when the criminal court of ap-
peals, in an opinion handed down to-
day by Justice Baker, held that per
son may deliver liquor secured out Of
the state to another person and still
be immune from arrest under the inter
state commerce law and reyerses the
case of Houston Hudson, who was con-
victed in Love county of transporting
liquor from one place to another in the
state.
Hudson lives near Eastman and
went to Gainesville, Tex, on business.
Before leaving, he was given money
by his father brother and two neigh
bors, to buy whisky for them while in
the Texas city. Upon his return to
Oklahoma, Hudson was arrested with
in 200 feet Of the depot, ana convict
ed Of Transporting liquor
Attorneys for the defense contended
that Hudson was still under the pro
lection otthe interstate commerce law
and tnat the interstate transaction
would not have been completed until
he had delivered the liquor at the
homes of the persons for whom it was
purchased.
The states attorneys took the view
that the interstate transaction ended
when Hudson left the train and when
his ticket expired.
The court, in giving this decision,
reserves the right to pass upon the
question Of whether Hudson was act
ing as an agent and whether, if he had
been an agent, he was violating the
law.

FELIX BROWN CASE AFFIRMED.
Must Serve all His Life for Murder OF
Harry Williams.

The way of the transgressor Is
hard" and Felix Brown, colored. con
fined in the county. Jail. is brought
face to fa6exith the awfulness of this
great Biblical truth as he realizes
that he must spend the remainder OF
his natural life In penal servitude. He
was convicted at the September term
of the district court of murder in the
first degree, An appeal was taken to
the Court of Criminal Appeals, the
highest Texas tribunal. and now its
mandate has been received, affirming
In all things the verdict and sentence
OF the trial court. He has been con-
fined in Jail here pending his appeal,
and now that 1t has been decided, the
transfer agent Is expected to come in
a few days and carry him to Hunts
vile, where he will bid farewell for
ever to the pure air and sunshine of
freedom.
Brief History Of Crime
In the darkness of night early last
September a horrible crime was COM
mitted at Mudville in the Brazos bot.
tom and human life was sacrificed
to the brutal passion of man. The
coming of the morn revealed the crime
in all its horrors when the body Of
Harry Williams, young white man,
was found dead in the lot near the
store of H. B. Steele, fearfully mutt
lated by the hogs. A hasty examiaa-
ton showed that he had been first
shot and killed, and the body left
where 1t fell at the mercy of he
beasts.
The sheriff's office was notified and
Sheriff Nall and Deputy Conlee left at
once for the scene One by one the
clews were taken up and worked out
TO their logical conclusions. The ac-
cusing finger pointed to Felix Brown,
and as the investigation proceeded, the
coils grew tighter and tighter and he
was placed under arrest AMI legged
in Jail
When court convened. the grand
jury by indictment charged him with
murder in the first degree. and upon
trial of the case. twelve good ana
lawful men by their verdict found
him guilty as charged. and now the
States highest court has affirmed their
verdict.
