THE JUDGES WANTED TO KNOW
OKLAHOMA SUPREME COURT ASK.
Ed MANY oEsTIoNs.
The Motion to Dissolve the Injunction
In the Capital Removal Fight Be-
fore the Court.

Guthrie, Ok, July by far the
iiveliest phase Of the capital removal
tight took place before the state SUI
preme court when Charles West, the
state attorney general, appeared and
argued for writ of prohibition to
stay the temporary Injunction granted
by Judge A. H. Huston In the district
court Of Logan county. This injunc,
ton was against Gov. Haskell and
other state officers TO prevent the re.
moval Of the state records from
Guthrie to Oklahoma City.
All members Of the court were on
the bench, with Chief Justice Dunn
presiding. Whatever the courts final
decision may be, the impression quick,
ly spread among the spectators that
the state capital will remain at Gutb'
rio until 1918.
Attorney General West frankly svat
cd . discussion OF the case upon It's
merits and confined himself to the o..
sertion that the lower court was with
out Jurisdiction over Gov. Haskell
when he was acting in his political
capacity. and that whether his action
in removing the capital to Oklahoma
City was right or wrong, he was not
amenable for 1t to the courts. At
torney General West said further that
James Hepburn, county attorney OF
Logan county. could not legally bring
the suit In the name Of the state.
II was at his point that members OF
the court opened Lp on Attorney Gen.
eral West with a continuous broadsida
Of questions, both hypothetical and d.
rect, that brought him such embarrass.
ment at times that be declined to
make direct answer.
Justice Williams indicated that the
court would take judicial knowledge of
every part Of the capital removal bill,
which carried the suggestion that the
bill might be construed with the en-
lblIng act and the ordinance irrevoca-

'ention fixed the capital at Guthrie IN.
