HASKELL CASE SET
FOR MARCH TERM
Damage Suit of Scott McReynods is
Most Interesting Case Before
Western District Court.

Oklahoma City, Feb. "a. = With
Judge John H. Cotteral sitting, the
circuit court of the United States for
the western district of Oklahoma will
convene in Oklahoma City, March 7,
at the new quarters secured in the
Hendrickson building, 20 West Main
street. This is the March term Of the
court, and all cases are assigned for
l10 o'clock a. m. The cases are all
at law, and only civil matters have
been assigned.
Probably the most interesting case
on the calendar is the $4,000 dam
age suit of Scott McReynolds against
Governor C. N. Haskell for alleged
false Imprisonment. which grew out
of the explosive quarrel between the
governor and President Roosevelt in
the 1908 campaign, and in which Will
liam r. Hearst, of New York, became
involved.
There are two of these cases, one a
civil case for damages against Gov
ernor Haskell and one criminal
prosecution for conspiracy against
Scott McReynolds.
| The criminal case was the first one
started Immediately following the
quarrel during the 1908 campaign,
Governor Haskell began action in Ne
braska against Hearst for damages
Ifor various alleged libels circulated by
the latter. Hearst in preparation for
his defense sent Scott McReynolds
a secret agent, to Oklahoma to gath
er data against Governor Haskell. The
latter learned that McReynolds was
in Oklahoma and in February, 1909,
had him arrested in Guthrie on a
charge of conspiracy to slander and
had all the documents which Mercy
nolds had. seized. McReynolds
through his attorney, began contest
for the seized documents and wor
in - lower courts and the governor
and county officers appealed to the
criminal court of appeals where the
case is now standing on motion
to dismiss made by McReynolds at
torneys.
A month or SO after he was arrest
ed in Guthrie, MeReynolds filed suit
in the United States circuit couri
against Governor Haskell asking $40,
600 damages for false Imprisonment
and this case is set for trial at Okla
homa City. March %.

Munroe City, Mo-, Feb 24-Dr. j.

WILL TRY TO COMPEL
FILING OF PETITIONS

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 25.-W
D. Caldwell, attorney for the Sons of
Washington, has left for Guthrie,
where he will ask for mandamus
against Governor Haskell and the sec
retary of state to compel proper FL
ing of the petition recently presented
asking that the question of high lie
ense and local option be submitted to
the voters of the state. The petition
was signed by $4,000 voters, and Gov
ernor Haskell refused to be present
when the instrument was presented
for filing with the secretary of state.
There is belief in some quarters that
on this account, the constitution might
not have been properly complied with
for the demanded change and manda-
mus against the officers will be asked
for, so as to have the matter settled
beyond dispute.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. "a. = After a
two hour parliamentary battle, the
house Wednesday afternoon finally
passed the Ross bill knocking out the
first two sections of the Billups-Bosse
bill which created the state liquor dis
pensary, and substituting a brief pro-
vision that all liquor seized by the
officers shall be destroyed. The vote
was 81 to S3.
A similar bill passed by the senate
last year and there is bare chance
for the measure in the senate, al
though the administration forces are
making a determined fight to save
the state liquor dispensary.
Thirty democrats voted against the
Ross bill, and twenty-seven for it.
Thirty-four republicans voted for the
Ross bill, but Dixon created a world OF
gossip by voting with the administra-
ton democrats against it. Dixon is
one of the two republican members
of the house probe committee that in
lvest;gated the charges against Cover
lnor haskell. 1t was selected on that
committee by the democratic caucus,
and it has been openly charged by
insurgent democrats that the governor
substituted his name to the democrat
lie caucus. The insurgent democrats
voted solidly against the bill and in
addition secured the votes of num-
lber of other democrats who are ad-
ministration men in most instances.
The house finally passed the Wilson
lbill, appropriating $4,000 for the
maintenance of the branch peniten-

Although the weather was cold and

about twenty-five couples attended
the informal dance given by the Elks
after the close of the musical program
at the Auditorium, by the Trouba-
dours, which was also under the aus
pices of the Elks. The small crowd
and the cold house caused a curtail-
ment of the program at the Auditor
ium. The crowd then went to the
, club rooms for the dance. Better
music has never ben heard at dance

the most of the occasion. Punch was

Washington, Feb. "a. - Whether a
state may fix a maximum rate on
commodity of intrastate commerce
below the cost of transportation was
the basis for a keen argument today
before the supreme court OF the Unit
ed States. The legal representatives
of the state of North Dakota defend
ed the constitutionality of the state
law of 1907, fixing the rate on coal.
and counsel for the Northern Pacific
Railway company attacked it as de-
signaling a rate below the cost OF

Argue Question Of States
Right to Control Rates

that the reason why the cost OF serv-
ice was not controlling where sin-
gle rate involved was two-fold. In the.
first place it was contended, 1t was
impossible to determine with anything
like accuracy what such cost OF sery-
ice was. In the second place, there
was no injury to the equitable title OF
the carrier as a result Of the cost OF
service not being controlling, as long
as the carrier was allowed on the
whole to earn fair profit on the In
vestment in the business. Further
more, it was contended that other ele-
ments may serve to make the rate
reasonable one, though it is less than
the theoretical cost of service. In The
case Of the rate on coal, it was argued
that it may be entirely reasonable for
the state to put in force low rate Tor
