which always clogs the outer skin
but with q penetrating liquid that
gets to the inner skin. killing the

secure a writ of mandamus to compel
them to act under the provisions Of
the state law This would bring about
a direct clash between the authority
of the state and federal courts"
Judge ]. H. Burford, representing
the plaintiff, who is applying for the
| injunction, declared that the plaintiff
is not seeking in this case to enjoin
an election or any legislative body nor
to interfere with any legislative officer
in the performance of his duty Judge
Burford stated that the only purpose
is to restrain state officers from the
performance of duties purely minister
ial. nor requiring discretionary power
ana to enjoin them from doing some
thing which would be in violation of
the constitution of the United States.
John Deyereaux, another attorney
for the plaintiff, declared that the
grandfather clause amendment, while
it does not say in plain language that
negroes who cannot read and write
some section of the Oklahoma consti-
tuition cannot vote, it has the effect
of barring only such persons. and by
|indirection seeks to do what the
fifteenth amenament to the federal
constitution expressly prohibits. He
also pointed out that congress placed
in the Oklahoma enabling act that the
state should never abridge the right of
suffrage by reason of race color or pre-
vioHs condition of servitude. The
state put this in its constitution and
adopted it by ordinance irrevocable
with the other terms of the enabling
act and that the state is now power
less to amend its constitution so as to
restrict negro suffrage.
A formidable array of legal talent
has been employed on both sides Of
the case. J. H. Burford, John Dever-
eaux and w. H. ChappelI, all Of Guth-
rie, represent the plaintiff, and Attor-
ney General Charles ]. West, s. G.

sent the defendants.

STAMP FOR POSTAL
BANKS IS SELECTED

Washington, July ls.-The first
distinctive stamp for the postal saw.
ings bank system has been approved
by Postmaster General Hitchcock II
lis a very unpretentious looking EN-.
blem, resembling the ordinary two
cent stamps except that it has no por.
trait upon it and will be used ex.
clusively on official mail conducting
the postal savings system.
The first order of a half million of
these stamps has been given. A
money value of two cents each is
placed upon the stamps in order that
an account may be kept of the ex-
pense attending the administration of
the postal savings bank. Until the
system is installed the stamps will
be used exclusively on the official
mail of the board of trustees.

Guthrie, Okla, July 13.-Arguments
in the legal fight instituted in the
name of an ex-slave through the repub.
lican state committee of Oklahoma in
the federal court of the western dis
trict of Oklahoma, to enjoin the plac.
ing Of the proposed grandfather"
amendment to the constitution upon
the ballots of the primary election
August 2, were begun before Federal
Judge John H. Cotteral here yester-
day.
The hearing today came up ON the
question of granting temporary in
junction restraining the state election
board, secretary of state and state
board of public affairs, from taking
any action in placing the proposed
amendment upon the ballot at the pri-
mary or any other election. A re-
Istraining order had previously been is
sued.
Attorneys for the defendants filed a
demurrer to the petition of the appli-
cants for the injunction on these con-
tentions:
That the court is without jurisdic-
tion, that the plaintiff has an adequate
remedy at law that the plaintiff can
not ask equity relief and that the Pc
tition upon its face shows the plain
tiff is not entitled to relief.
w. A. Ledbetter of Oklahoma City,
one Of the attorneys for the defend
ants, opening the arguments, took the
position that the people of the state
are now in the act of legislating, by
taking the steps precedent to the sub
mission of the grandfather" amend
ment and that the judicial department
is without power to invade the legis-
lativc department while the act is in
process Of making, although it might
be shown conclusively that the pro-
posed act is unconstitutional and void.
Suppose the defendants should re-
fuse to obey the injunction if one were
granted" asked Ledbetter, then some
one might 60 into the state courts and

CAPITOL TO WAIT
COURT DECISION
Governor viii Not Appoint the Com
missioners Yet But the Slate is
Believed to Be Fixed.

Oklahoma City. Okla, July 13.-Gov-
ernor C. N. Haskell viii not appoint
the capital commission until decision
has been rendered upon the legality
of the capital removal issue by the SUI
preme court. This was the informa-
ton received from the chief executive
late Monday evening,
He gives his reason for not appoint
ing the commission that, should the
court decide the capital election was
legal and he had already appointed the
commission, then the commission
would receive no pay, or if it was en-
joined, it would be receiving salaries
and doing no work.
Just the minute the court decides
and it is clear that the election was
legal, Governor Haskell will officially
announce the commission and it will
start to work Immediately.
1t is said that within thirty days
after the commission is appointed,
work will begin selling lots and max
ing permanent arrangements for To-
eating the state house.
The following men have been un-
officially announced as members of the
capital commission. Tate Brady of
Tulsa, chairman; j. B. A. Robertson,
of Chandler and Leo Bennett, of Mus
kogee. Mr.. Bennett will be the re-
publican member.
There is some question in Governor
Haskell's mind as to whether the su-
preme court will pass favorably upon
the writ of prohibition that is now be-
fore it. Should the writ be denied the
case will go back to Judge Huston's
court and be tried upon it's merits.
Parties interested in the decision of
the case say that should the supreme
court hand down a decision in favor
of Governor Haskell, that Guthrie citi-
zens will appeal the case to the SUI
preme court of the United States.
However, this is not likely, as the dis
trict federal court has passed upon
one question of the proposition al
ready.
Tuesday is the FIRST days session Of
the supreme court and 1t is believed
that a decision will be handed down
by Thursday Judge B. F. Burwell
and Attorney General Charles West
are the attorneys for the governor and
other state officials. Both are giving
the matter their entire attention and
pressing upon the court the Importance

with such bank a sum equal to such
check, order or draft, shall be per-
sonally liable to such bank for the
amount SO paid, and such liabilities
shall be covered by his official bond .
The foregoing section refers to and
makes provision for the correction Of
one of the most yexed questions with
which banks are daily confronted. The
department is compelled to write more
letters eriticizing this practice than
any other half dozen delinquencies Of
banks which are subject to criticism.
A large line Of oyerdrafts is prima
facie evidence of reckless and incom-
petent management It, therefore, be-
comes the commissioners duty to en-
force the provisions of Section Z, Ar
ticle /, which reads as follows:

(, bank commissioner to be dishonest
RECKLESS or incompetent. shall be re-
moved from Office by the board Of d.

Officer, on the written order Of the

No mans account is of sufficient
value to a bank to justify It in paying
his checks indiscriminately out OF
funds belonging to other depositors
and its stockholders.
Officers Of Oklahoma state banks
who habitually permit overdrafts to

account of recklessness and iptom-
potency
