Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 5.-Bills
were offered in the house and senate
yesterday to abolish the state and local
dispensaries, the office of state enforc.
ing department The bills put the bur
den of enforcing statewide prohibition
upon county officers.
This is the administration bill. It
is provided that local officers may be
removed by the governor for failure
to enforce the prohibition law, after
a trial and conviction before the gov.
ernor. The bill provides that in all
future seizures the liquors shall be
spilled" The acts contemplate no
sale of whiskey, wine or beer, but Gre
ates a state warehouse to furnish pure
grain alcohol for medical purposes,
under the usual restrictions.
Penalties for the first, second or
third conviction for selling liquors are
unchanged, but another degree is rec.
ognized in that the fourth conviction
marks the culprit as an "hibitual vio-
lator" of the prohibition law, and the
offense is made a felony, the punish
ment being fixed from one to three
years in the penitentiary.
Another senate measure would an
$4,000 from the public build
ing fund and loan it to the Oklahoma
City school district, with which the
district would make additions to the
old high school building now serving
as temporary state capitol building.
An administration bill amending ex- |
Isting general election laws was in |
-roduced in the house. 1t vitalizes the

FRED CALDWELL WOULD
ABOLISH OWN OFFICE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 5.-Ir
his final report to Governor C. N. Has
kell covering period of two years
Fred S. Caldwell, counsel to the gov.
ernor in charge of prohibition enforce.
ment frankly admits that the Office
which he holds is not necessary. and
recommends that it be abolished. He
says the governor has the power to
direct the attorney general or exped-
lent for the enforcement OF the laws of
the state. The constitution contem-
plates but one legal department for
the state, of which the attorney gen
eral is the head.
Mr. Caldwell also expresses the
opinion that the system of state liquor
agencies known as the state dispens-
airy should be abolished. He says the
state agency system is opposed by
considerable majority of the people of
the state. Ample provision, he de-
clares, could be made by legislation
conferring upon the governor the au-
thority to regulate the furnishing of
pure grain alcohol for medicinal pur-
poses in accordance with the consti-
tuition and laws of the state.

CAPITAL HEARING
SET FOR GUTHRIE
Court Indicates That Decision Will Not
Be Forthcoming as Had Been An
ticipated BY Both Cities.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 5.-The
state supreme court set the state cap
ital removal case filed by Guthrie for
hearing in chambers in Guthrie today
Following this attorneys will be per
mitted to file briefs fully setting out
their sides of the controversy and
bringing forward in detail the law
points involved. The court indicated
that the decision would not be as early
as has been noped for since it reaches
the regular term next week, and will
have no time to devote to a study of
the suit until the term is completed.
The inference is, however, that follow
ing the term hearings the cause will
be advanced for an early opinion
Assistant Attorney General Reeves,
appearing for the defendant state Off
cials, filed with the court a general de-
murrer to the Guthrie petition, making
answer to no part of the pleadings, as
was indicated yesterday would be done.
Judge Burford, representing Guthrie,
announced that he would order to pre-
vent transfer of the seat of govern
ment from Guthrie to this place, but
would argue the case upon it's merits
at one session of the court.
Chief Justice Dunn announced that
the court hearing the argument in
chambers at Guthrie was of no signifi-
canoe, being for the accommodation of
counsel, who would have access to the
states law library and other court rec
ords. He also said that no court or
ders would be entered in Guthrie.
This was the courts first sitting in
the new seat of government. On order
was made giving H. G. Martin, referee !
in the Pottawatomie county seat re-
moval case, until March II, to make
report. Motions for rehearing in the |
Herbert Wagg case involving a por-
tion Of the townsite of the town of
Cleveland, and the case of Martin
against McGarr, in the mayoralty con-
test from Muslgogee county, were de-
MED.
The court declined to accept quar-
ters in the White Temple provided for
t by Oklahoma City.

NEGROES APPEAL FROM
POLICE COURT DECISION

The six negroes, who were convicted
yesterday in police court for maintain
ing or being inmates of houses of ill
fame, have appealed from the police
court decision to the county court. The
case will probably be among the first
taken up at the coming term of the
county court. Judge Byrd says the
precedent of the past has been that
when an appeal was taken such cases
would drag along and finally be dis
missed, but he says this case is going
to be pushed, if he has to personally
bear the expense of the prosecution.

This is the first request of the kind
ever made upon the local mill. 1t is
known that the L. S. government
only makes such requests upon mills
OF high standing and standard worth
and this recognition of the Mesa

that the institution is attracting
much attention.
The testing of the wheat grown in

BIGGEST QUARANTINE
STATION IN THE WORLD

Our first view OF Sinai was at earlv
morning as our steamer entered the
har0or of Tor. The sun was iust
rising over the highest peak, and IL
was a very impressive and beautiful
sight The little harbor is protected bv
natural breakwater composed Of
TWO coral reefs. with just sufficient
space between to allow a boat to enter
There is nothing particularly attrac-
tive about Tor, except the fact that
IL is the quarantine station for nil
grimS returning from Mecca. There
IS a splendidly arranged series OF
buildings for the use of the ouaran-
tined pilgrims, and the fumigating and
ulsinfecting quarters are colossal struc-
lures, very modern and quite up to
date. Indeed, 1T is the largest inter
national quarantine station in the
world, and often 10000 of The Faith
tuI' may be seen here at one time.
On one occasion, in 1904, some 1900
pilgrims had TO be accommodated.
The whole Of the enormous area IS
enclosed by a strong and high wire
fence, guarded by hundreds of Turk
1sh soldiers. The different parts OF
the great enclosure are connected by
means of a tramway, and communfca-
tion is further facilitated by telephone.
There is also a telegraph office in
the compound, and large waterworks.
