STATE LOSES
LIQUOR CASES
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT DECIDES AGAINST THE
COMMONWEALTH SURPRISE.

Washington, ID. c., April 3.-Be-
cause of a lack of jurisdiction the
supreme court Monday dismissed two
actions brought by the state of Ok
lahoma against the railroads in the
celebrated liquor cases. One was an
original action, while the other rest
ed on an appeal from the state SUI
preme court. Similar action was Ia
ken in the suit against the Santa
Fe in the rate case in which the
state contended discrimination.
In the former cases the court held
that the liquor laws of Oklahoma are
a part of the penal laws of a state
and should be enforced as such be-
ing purely a state matter over which
the supreme court had no jurisdic-
ton.
Attorney General West had con-
tended that the state laws simply
carried out the acts of congress in
the premises in that connection hav-
ing in mind the stringent prohibition
laws in force in the Indian Territory
and the Usage nation prior to state
hood
Attorney General West said that
the decisions came as a surprise in
view of the courts previous hold
ings in the Kansas against Colorado
water cases and fthe Georgia VS..
Tennessee copper case in which the
interest of states of Kansas and
Georgia were held paramount. In
the former interest of Kansas in
the fow of the Colorado river fo-
purposes were sustained
and the same was true as to Geor-
gia's complaint that the fumes of

WANTS HOME FOR POOR.
Kate Barnard Makes Statement Be.
fore Commissioners.

SHAH Oklahoma county pay $500
for 230 acres of rich bottom land
for a poor farm, or buy a smaller
and cheaper tract and make it an
ideal home for the county poor?
The above question was taken up
Monday morning by Miss Kate Bar
nard before the board of county
commissioners, who had about de-
cided to buy the larger tract of land.
Miss Barnard's contention is that
the por farm is not supposed to be
seh-supporting, but to furnish a
home for the aged and infirm. who
are unable to continue the battle
of life, unassisted. What she wants
is home with a physician in
charge, so that the poor may be
properly cared for.
In her talk with the commissioners
she called attention to the fact that
hospital wards were now being pro-
vided for jails over the state, anG
that the criminals were being kept
in clean cells with wholesome food;
that the states insane had nurses,
baths, physicians ilnd everything
possible TO make them comfortable,
while the poor we're still being
'farmed out" in various coupnties
over the state and an attempt be.
ing made TO show a profit from the
poor farm.
The law provides that at least
leo acres must be bought and Miss
Barnard contends that the commits
sioners should not buy a farm of
any larger dimensions, but keep the
money in the poor fund and. il
possible, use 1t for buildings and bet

story being tod in the district court
before Judge John r. McFie. Six
masked desperadoes, members of the
notorious Abo Pass gang, broke IN
to Vigil's lonely farm house at the
dead Of night seeking a fortune he
was reputed to have hidden. Cries
of terror from the women were greet

resorted to torture. After lighting
the oiled rags, however, the cut

cords, Vigil managed to put out the
fires before he was badly hurt, but
received a scare he will not soon

mination of long series of S-tnes.

FORT LEAVENWORTH AND FORT
RILEY TO HAVE AERoDRoMEs
BUILT ON RESERVATIONS.
GOVERNMENT TO AID SCIENCE
Six or Seven Machines to Be Kept
at Each Post and Private Owners
Will Be Allowed to Use the Hang
ars-.rhirty Officers Detailed.

New York, April 3.-An outline of
the war departments plans for train
ing aviators and making the aero
plane a practicable auxiliary, have
been submitted to the Aero Club OF
America by Gen. James Allen of the
signal corps. He says:
The department connection with
aviation dates from 1907, when the
department issued specifications for
aeroplanes, for which there were
three bidders. The money appropri.
ated by congress for this purpose
was soon exhausted and it was not
until recently that the department
was able to make any real progress
in the science, which came about as
the result of an appropriation of
Sl25,00O by congress.
1T is the desire of the government
to buy as many machines as posi-
bic. These machines will be selected
as best suited for military work,
while every effort will be made to ad-
vance aviation throughout the coun
try with the available funds.
'An aerodrome will be established
at San Antonio, where six or seven
machines will shortly be assembled
Considerable difficulty has been ex'
perienced in training officers and
men, but the plans of the government
will change this in the near future.
Aerodromes will be built on the gov
ernment reservations at Fort Riley,
Fort Leavenworth, West Point, Gov
ernor's Island and location near the
capital. Every person who owns an
aeroplane will be invited to occupy
a hangar on the government reserva-
ton and thereby assist in training
the officers selected by the war de-
partment for instruction.
THE government will send officers
for observation to the coming Bel
mont Park meets and others of i'm
portance throughout the country.
About thirty officers will be detailed
for aviation duty this year and this
number will be increased next year.
The government will promote the
science by providing suitable places
for experiments and lend all posi-
BILE aid to young fiiers and inventors,
which will serve to promote the
cause of aviation and prove of ines
timable benefit to the nation from a
military and naval standpoint"

dedicated Monday morning, a large
number of members and visitors be-
ing present. The exercises consumed
the entire day.
From $50 to 10: 80 a. m., a recep-
ton was rendered visiting Elks. At
1890 came the dedication ceremo-
nies. The dedication address was de.
livered by DR.. Leroy Long, a member
of McAlester Lodge No. $50. At
1880 the lodge was opened in due
form and held short session.
Degrees were conferred upon a
class Of thirty-nine candidates. The
candidates were carried in a parade
dressed in convict garb and heavily
ironed. The procession was headed
with live goat A banquet was Civ
en- at the Busby hotel to large
number of home members and Wis
iting Elks.
At $50 the lodge resumed its la

trees across the line in the Cracker
state. Just why Oklahoma interests
in the freight rates of a foreign
corporation doing business in its
state should not be a question for
the supreme court as well, is still
agitating Mr. West and other Okla
homans here.
This case was brought by At
torney General Charles West against
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
and other railroads and express COM
panies, seeking to enjoin them from
delivering intoxicating liquors to any
person in Oklahoma holding a federal
liquor license, and also against trans.
porting liquor into old Indian Terri
tory, on the grounds that since there
was federal law against the selling
or conveying Of liquor in Indian Ter.
ritory for twenty-one years, that it
was in violation of the law for rail-
road or express companies to even
transport liquor into that country.
The defendants insisted that the
state law, prohibiting them from
carrying liquor into the state, was
against interstate commerce and
that the Indian Territory law applied
only to attempted violations of the
law BY persons attempting to engage
in the liquor business rto convey it
from place to place for theii own
use.

CUT OUT THE CORSET.
Washington Smart Set Lay Aside
the Encirclinq Stays.

Washington, April 3.-Dealers in
corsets are not pleased with the
latest fad of the Washington smart
set
On excellent authority it is said
that to be strictly swagger nowadays
a woman must discard the engird
ling stays-a thing not impossible
with the present styles of empire gir-
died frock.
The younger set promoted the
back TO nature" idea. There were
many smart dances this winter, and
one after another the youthful dam
ozels have cast aside the artificial
form.
The first girl to appear at a dance
uncorseted created a mild sensation.
But so materially did her innovation
affect her career as a belle that the
subsequent dances Were remarkable
for the number of girls who had sud
denly taken up the dress reform
she started.
The older folks didn't like it so
well. being of the opinion that the
girls were going back to nature with
vengeance, and the criticism stir
ed up even downed the commotion
caused by Justice Harlan's overhaul
ing of the swagger set for its disre-
gard of proper Sabbath observances.

Good breeding like charity,
should begin at home. The day
is past when children used to
rise when their parents entered
the room where they were and
stand until they had received
permission TO sit. But the mis-
take is now made usually in the
other direction in allowing too
small boys and girls too much
licenses to disturb the peace of
the household. We think the
best way TO train children in
courtesy would be TO observe to-
ward them a scrupuIous polite
ness. We would go so far as to
say that we should make il as
much a point to listen 10 children
without interuptlng them and
TO answer them sincerely and
respectfully as if they were
grown up. And, indeed many
Of their wise, quaint sayings are
