CHARTER IS OVERTHROW
BY RULING OF THE COURT

Oklahoma City. Sept 13.-The com
mission form of government in the
city of Guthrie WIS overthrown and
the adoption of the new charter there
held Illegal by the supreme court Tues
day in the case of w. H. Mitchell VS..
n NJ Carter, involving the possession
OF the office of chief of police. The
one point on which the decision turn
ed was that the election on the adop-
ton of the charter was called by the
mayor without the concurrence of the
council, while the law requires that it
shall be ordered by the council. The
court expresses a reluctance to over
throw any act of the people, which has
been agreed to by any considerable
majority, but states that it is impos-
sible for it to countenance an act
which is clearly illegal on that ground.
The court also takes up the conten-
ton that the adoption of a new char
ter wiped out the old corporation and
established new one, holding that
such is not the case, but declines to
pass on the legality of the provisions
of the charter itself inasmuch as the
charter is held not to have been legally
adopted. The opinion is by Justice
Hayes.

Beautifyine the Beautiful.

Tourists say that San Diego is one
of the most beautifully situated cities
in the world. Now the Panama Expos
ition city has decided to beautify it.
self, to build on the graces that Ma
ture gave it the graces that art can
give, and to make itself as worthy as
possible of the plaudits of the millions
who will visit it in 1915. San Diego
has organized a Civic Improvement
League which will work for the health.
full the beautiful and the esthetic It's
a oommendable decision, which the
whole country will applaud.

FINAL COUNT IS
FOR PROHIBITION
With the Receipt of Returns From
Rural Districts the Majority Fav-
orns Vets is Overcome.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 13.-After a day
OF almost constant surprises, during
which the result was many times hang
ing in the balance, it appeared last
night on the face of official returns
from town and city clerks in all but
1856 towns and plantations that pro-
hlbition had won in the special cleo
ton of yesterday by 465 votes. Most
of the towns yet to be heard from have
been unofficially reported with small
majorities favoring retention of the
prohibitory amendment in the consti-
tuition and any change in the vote of
these places is likely to help the pro-
hibitionists.
In addition to the majority shown
by the clerks returns, there are so
more dry votes known to exist in
Portland which are not included in the
city clerks report because of an ad-
mitted error If necessary the anti
repealers VIII petition for a recount,
the change from an apparent victory
for the "wet" side by 700 votes to 500
votes in favor of the "drys" came as
a big surprise. The prohibitionists
had practically conceded defeat, while
representatives of those who sought
repeal had sent out numerous state
ments on the strength of their appar-
ent safe majority.
Mrs. L. NJ. Stevens, president of the
national w. c. T. u, made statement
last night in which she said the final
day of the overthrow of the liquor trf-
1ic has been fastened"
Frederick G. Fassett, secretary of
the Maine non-partisan local option
league, said: 1--WE do not concede that
the addition has been confirmed. We
shall await the official canvass of the
vote and at that tmie shall decide to
take steps to secure an inspection of
the ballots.'l

COLBERT NEGROES PREPARE
TO FIGHT IF NECESSARY

Durant, Okla Sept. 13.-It was re.
ported here Tuesday night that ne
groes at Colbert have organized for
mutual protection ard will fight if
necessary before they leave there. An
effort is being made to prevent this
rumor from stirring up trouble.
Negroes over the county claim that
band of whites have been visiting
their homes trying to make them leave,
but the blacks claim to be encouraged
to stay by the stringent action of the
county officials against the whites who
have been charged with disturbing
them.
The negro leaders, it is said, have
advised their followers not to leave
their homes, but to stay and fight for
them if necessary.

Lands Not subject = Lax

Oklahoma City, Sept. l3.-Lands in
the hands OF original Indian allottees
are non-taXable if they are inalienable
according to an opinion Of Attorney
General West to John NJ. Stanley
county attorney at Pauls Valley. II
lands from which restrictions have not
been removed pass into the hand of
heirs they are then taxable, but not
while in the hands of the original al
lottee. If the right exists to sell or
mortgage the land, then the local au.
thorities may list it for taxation. ac-
cording to the opinion.

Breaks Bank Clearing Record.

Tulsa, Okla, Sept. 12-With a daily
average of more than $4,000 during
the past week, Tulsa, the oil and gas
market of Oklahoma, has broken all
previous bank clearings records. The
clearings for the week were $65S, S,537
or a daily average Of $151,707. This
is an exceptional record in view Of the
fact that Tulsa's banks have been re-
duced from nine to six by recent con-
solidations.

MILLER CONVICTED
Of KILLING GIRL
Took Woodward County Jury Hour And
Fifteen Minutes to Decide on
Verdict in Murder Case.

Woodward, Okla, Sept. 13.-It took
twelve men of Woodward county lust
iseyenty-fve minutes Tuesday to de-
eide that N. l.. Miller of Alva caused
the death of Mabel Oakes, the 1S-year-
old girl who was his stenographer dur
ing part of the time he was Justice of
the peace there.
When the jury retired, shortly after
, o'clock, many of those who had
crowded into the little courtroom to
hear the closing arguments of attor-
neys left, believing that no verdict
would be reached for some hours.
About $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon
there was a knock from the Jury room
and when the bailiff unlocked the door
the twelve men filed out, their faces
solemn with the knowledge that in
doing what they believed to be their
duty, they were taking away the liber-
ty of a fellowman.
The report that a verdict had been
reached spread like wildfire, and hun
|dreds who had left the room tried to
push their way back. The men who
occupied the seats and lined the walls
watched the face of the foreman, and
the women watched the face of the
man who had been tried for murder.
and whose future depended on the
words spoken by one of the twelve sol
emn men who stood waiting for quiet.
Not the slightest sign was there on
the face of Miller to show that he
even heard the verdict as the foreman
read it to the judge. He sat silent and
stolid in his chair, his brow slightly
clouded by frown. AS the foreman.
reading the jury's verdict, reached the
word guilty" Miller looked up with
an interested expression but imme-
diately his face grew calm again and
he made no sound while the reading
was going on.
When the verdict had been read and
the sheriff came to take him to his
cell, he turned and smiled at his family
and marched away, his step steady and
his bearing erect
The closing day of the case found
the interest keyed to the highest pitch.
Not within the history of Woodwork
county has any case excited so wide
an interest. The morning was occupi-
ed by the closing plea of Judge Wilson
for the defense and Moman Pruiett of
Oklahoma City for the state.
Never in the history Of criminal trials
has the Woodward county courthouse
rung with such bitter denunciation as
poured from the lips of Pruiett as he
traced to the jury the various steps
along the path that finally led N. L.
Miller to the bar charged with killing
Mabel Oakes. The case went to the
jury at 2:30 and when the news went
abroad at 3;45 that they were back
in court it was supposed they desired
instructions.
Instead they delivered a verdict of
guilty, fixing the punishment at life
Imprisonment All through the trial
Miller has proved and acted as the
least interested of those present.
