CASES MUST
Be HEARD ON THEIR MERITS

Guthrie, Okla, Oct 21.-After day
and a half of argument Judge d. NJ.
Tibbetts, special commissioner in the
Mexican extradition cases decided that
the statute of Limitation would not bar
the extradition of w. L. Chapman. R.
C. Conine, L. C. Grimes. A. T Brown
and John Garrett. wanted in Mexico
for the alleged forgery of deeds to
Kickapoo Indian lands, and proceeded
to hear the evidence against the accus-
ed men. In case the final lewiston
goes against them, Chapman and his
associates will take the case to the
United States supreme court at once.
The discussion of the statute of lin
itations covered the Interpretation of
the provision Of the treaty with Mex
leo which provides that there shall be
no extradition where the statute Of
limitations would bar prosecution ac-
cording to the laws of the country
where the alleged fugitives from JUS
tice were found. The contention of
the attorneys for the defense was that
under this provision no extradition
would be allowed for an offense which
now would be barred in this country
liz committed here on the same date.
The offenses charged were commit
ted more than three years ago, and as
all of the defendants but one have
been in continuous residence in Okla
homa for three years past, it was
claimed that they were exempt from
extradition under the Oklahoma stat
ute, which fixes three Years as the
limit for prosecution.
The position taken by the govern
ment, and sustained by Commissioner
Tibbetts, was that the statute of linn
itations applied only to prosecutions
and that if the Oklahoma statute were
to apply in this case it must be trans
planted for that purpose to the Mexi-
can state OF Coahuila. where the pros
ecutions were instituted 1t was ad-
mitted that if the men wanted had re-
mained in Coahuila for three years
they would be exempt now, but it was
pointed out that under the Oklahoma
law the statute did not run where the
accused was outside the state and
would, therefore, not run as to Goa
huilt when they were outside that
state.
The point as to the statute of limita
tions was raised by the attendants in
a plea in bar to which the government
offered a demurrer Tibbetts sustain
ed the demurrer and overruled the pies
in bar, stating that the prosecution oi
the alleged crime could not be barred
under the statutes of the United
States or Oklahoma unless the defend
ants had remained in Mexico long en-
ough to satisfy the requirements o.
the American statutes. Prior to The
ruling of the court, b. B. BlakeneJ
and c. G. Horner had presented ths
contentions of the defendants Will,

while yesterday the Central State nor
NAL aggregation did the funeral march
off Boyd Field with an 81 to 0 record
chalked against them. These games
and the daily workouts in the Sooner
camp show conclusively that Oklat
homa has the best football team in it's
history. Light but fast. the Sooners
play a whirlwind game, adapting them
selves to the revised rules most adj
mirably and negotiating their plays
with the ceIerity and unfailing pre-
cision of a machine. With almost three
teams out for practice every afternoon
and two of nearly equal strength de-
veloped Oklahoma will not be handi-
capped for lack of good substitutes
to send into the game as in past strug-
giles with Kansas and Texas. At least
eighteen gridironers, all of premier
|caliber are eligible to Play against the
Tigers and it is likely that all will be
taken to the scene of battle.
Missouri has donned the moleskins
for battle three times this year and
the results show that Hollenbach's
men are as dangerous as last year
when Bill Roper was at the helm. the
prophecy of the wise ones doping thens
to trounce Kansas in the big Turkey
Day kick feast. The Tigers defeated
the strong Monmouth College team by
la 8 to score in their first game, but
a week later were held to 0 to o
score by the RoIla school of mines.
Friday the Miners went down in de.
feat before St. Louis university and
this would tend to mark Missouri uni-
versity as a little OFF color, were it
not that on the same day the Tigers
won handily from their ancient enemy,
the state university of Iowa aggrega-
ton. Missouri has the advantage of
nearly three thousand students, MAX
ling goodly number from which to
pick team and is also aided by the
training table and special coaches4
Despite all this the odds appear to be
as even as they were on a football
game and it is certain that the great
crowd which Journeys to Joplin will
witness one of the titanic football
struggles Of the west.
OF the men who will go with hNe
team from Oklahoma eleven are vet
Ierans who have won their "o'sH in
gridiron battles of the past. The

JUST ONE WEEK UNTIL
TEAMS MEET AT JOPLIN

Norman, OKLA. Oct. 21.-With the
big Oklahoma-Missouri football game
but week away interest is at fever
heat and the newspapers of the two
states are fiIlei with stories concern
ing the teams and individual players
and speculations by the dopists as to
the relative strength of the aggrega-
tions which will clash for the first
time at Joplin, Mo-, on the 2sth of the
present month.
Arrangements have been made to
secure excursion rates from points in
Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas to
Joplin and the people of the city have
made arrangements to entertain one
OF The greatest crowds that ever as
embed there. The big meeting and
jollifcation to be participated in by
fraternity men of the three states,
which will be held at the same time
will also attract hundreds of "old
grads" to the game.
On the strength of their respective
showings in the games played thus
far this season both the big state in
stitutions of learning have great teams
and it is difficult to figure that either
should be made a favorite over the
other in the coming battle for South
western gridiron honors.
Oklahoma has played BUT two games
and in both she defeated her weaker
adversaries by far larger scores than
in any previous year. Two weeks ago.
in the initial battle of the local sea
son, Bennie Owens formidable war
riors buried the classy Kingfsher col
lege eleven under a Sc to 0 score.

the voters of the city and it was now
out of the hands of the commission.
Commissioner Marquett stated that
last fall he had favo. ed the erection
of a fire hall costing some $4,000,
but it had been voted down by the
commission; that two years ago
proposition had been voted down to
issue $4,000 bonds for a city hall,
as it was too cheap; that at the pub
meetings held last winter some of
the heaviest tax payers of the city
had expressed themselves in favor OF
a building to cost not less than $780,
900, Col. Little being the only oppon-
ent; his own idea was for building
to cost 1000 or $4,000 but he foun'i
they would have to use the full $780,
900 voted for.
Commissioner Jackson stated that
he had always been opposed to big
building; he reminded the commits
sioners that last fall when the pro-
position first came up that they had
decided to put the matter up to q
vote and were to submit at least two
propositions to the voters; one for a
low priced building and one for a
high priced building; that those fav-
oring a high priced building had
waited until those opposed had got
ten out of town before bringing it to
a vote, and had then rushed II
through; that Mr.. Lucas had voted
for the resolution calling the special
election only under q misapprehen-
sion for the opinion had been given
by the city attorney that the commits
sioners could use any of the amount
authorized they saw fit, and had he
been advised differently he would
have voted against the election as
called. That the Bismarck Tribune,
under date of January rs, had pub
lished this opinion of the city attor-
ney, and the fact that a majority of
the commission were opposed to a big
building; that a number of the heav-
lest taxpayers of the city had ap-
preached him and told him that they
had voted for the proposition at the
