Iowa yesterday Gotch told some friends

at Rock Island High School
Are Opened.
JUNIORS AND SENIORS WIN
Underclassmen Unable to Stand Be
fore Their Older Opponents but
Put Up Good Games.

The Rock Island high school inter
class basketball tournament opened
last night with victories for the teams
representing The junior and senior
classes. About 200 tickets for the tour
nament have been sold and the gymna-
SUM was crowded with spectators.
While most of the men on the floor
were inexperienced, the crowd saw a
pretty article of basketball. the jun
iors showing up especially well.
The first game was between the SEN
Tors and sophomores, the older boys
winning s to 4. The game was fast
and close, but was married by many
fouls on both sides. The sophomores
were taken off their feet and failed to
make "a field basket till the last few
minutes Of play. The playing of Wood
in and Kittilsen of the seniors and
Wright of the sophomores was a fea-
ture. The teams lined up as follows:
Seniors-Woodin center Calkins and
Budelier forwards, Hartz, Vogel and
Kittilsen guards.
Sophomores-Phi center. Lar
kin, Wore and Hinkley forwards,
Wright, Read and Kone guards
Juniors Win Easily.
The second game was a walkaway
for the juniors, the freshmen failing
to make field basket. The younger
men held their experienced opponents
well during the first half, but they
broke loose in the second, piling up a
score of % to 3. The work of Empke
at center and the free throws of Sill
iors. while Streckfus of the freshmen
showed promise Of becoming a strong
man. The lineup was as follows:
Juniors-Empke center, Benson and
H. Budelier forwards, Silverman and
Wheelan guards.
Freshmen-Hoffman center. Reeves
and Streckfus forwards, Gleason and
Helpenstell guards.

N-ray picture of Wolgast's injured arm.

as the champion wishes.
When Jones emerged from the office
he said;
"Ad is not going to fight anyone be

he will not fight before May. His arm
is healing nicely. but the danger of

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE
ROBT, |. WILLIAMS
INDICATES THAT JUDGE HUSTON
WILL BE ALLOWED TO TRY
CAPITOL CASE ON MERITS.

Robert h. Williams associate JUS
tice of the Oklahoma supreme court
was a visitor here yesterday en- route
to Durant where he attended the joint
debate of the governors yesterday.
He said the debate had not attracted
him but some business matters and
he w1uld take adyanta.e of the oc-
casion TO hear the candidates. He
was very guarded in all his expires
sions espe cially to a news Satnerer.
He said the blunders of Murray in
the campaign had been a surprise to
his friends, but at the same time he
did not know how the people in the
rural districts regarded his charges,
and it may be that from political
standpoint he would gain instead of
losing votes.
In conversation with a friend Mr..
Williams said the briefs in the capital
writ of prohibition would be filed
Saturday and in the conversation he
said there was no need for immediate
removal which if it indicated any
thing indicates that Judge Huston
will be allowed to try the case on its
merits and the provision of the en-
abling act will be tested.
Mr.. Williams holds over and viii
not be a candidate for reelection this
fall. Judge Henry Furman of the
criminal court of appeals has no dem
ocratic opposition, but will have a
republican for the same office against
him in the general election. Judge
Dickerson had thought of being a
candidate for this office but his ap-
pointment on the state board OF put
lie affairs eliminated him.

SMOKED AND DRIED HERRING.
FRESH MAckEREL, AT w. J..
LANES.
To the Voters Of Carter County.

Inasmuch as the story of Sheriff
Akers having a negro deputy is
being used against him in the pres
ent campaign, and being acquainted
with the facts in the case. | think
that the voters of the county should
be put next" to the facts in the
case SO that they can see that it
is only a campaign scare. Mr.
Akers has a negro deputy, has never
denied that fact nor offered to ex-
plain as he expected the voters to
understand the situation, and this
is being done without consulting
Mr.. Akers. The story of the negro
deputy is this: At the request of
number of taxpayers in that sec
ton, and at the request of officers,
Fred Williams and Mr.. Harris. who
work in that section, one Tatums,
negro, at the town of Tatums,
was appointed as deputy. Tatums is
aw-abiding negro, a property
owner and knows his place; he
was given positive instructions at
the time he was appointed that
under no circumstances was he to
molest in any way white man, and
he has never done so. A negro OF,
ficer can do more effective work
among the negroes. Prior to state
hood all marshals had a negro
deputy to work that section; no
white officer cares to go there, and
IL is more satisfactory to all par
ties concerned to have a negro
there, and ] am sure that every sen
sible voter in the county will say
that Mr.. Akers has acted wisely in
the matter. / am no politician and
have no interest in the matter, only

ton. Might not the trial court proper
ly consider the fact that congress
attention was called to the assertion
of jurisdiction and that 1t was invited
to declare the existence of the same,
and that it did not do so, in determin-
ing whether or not congress had con
ferred such authority? Was not the
failure to confer jurisdiction upon re-
quest of the department, which as
serted it's existence, a denial of that
request and a denial of the authority
asserted? If it was not a denial, was
it not competent matter for consid-
GRAFTON in determining the existence
of the policy? Is not the opinion of
this court in this action based more
upon the non-action than upon the af-
firmative action of congress? Upon
negative declarations rather than up
on affirmative declarations? The rea-
soning of the trial court is criticized
for accepting the non-action of con-
gresS as some evidence of the alb
sence of jurisdiction and at the same
time a negative declaration is given
the force and effect of an affirmative
declaration?
