MISSOURI BURGLARS RETURN
WITH THE OFFICERS.
Governor Cruce Issues Requisitions
for Three Men Under Arrest
In This City.

Receiving word from Governor
Cruce that he had granted acquisitions
for the three men held here for rob-
bing a store in Nevada, Mo-, of some
frrs, two deputy officers who have
been in Tulsa for two days left yes
terday afternoon with the three pris-
oners. The three prisoners are Joe
Fay, alias C. NJ. McTIale; Ed Lucas,

The officers experienced much
trouble in getting the men to leave the
Jail, as the prisoners in their cells
In the city Jail refused to dress and
officers had to use force to get them
started. The men were arrested here
about two weeks ago and held In the
city jail for ten days when a habeas
corpus proceeding was started. Then
the men were charged with robbng a
post office in Wynnewood. Okla. They

days when Neal Dow began his mem

the rest of that part in eastern Okla

Within a few weeks, or perhaps
sooner, the eyes of the entire nation,

and fighting for 1t will have to admit
that actual prohibition that keeps from
persons Of every walk in life and every
race and color, whiskey, beer and
other intoxicants, is an impossibility
and an idle dream.
There Are Laws Enough.
For as prohibition cannot be made
to prohibit in eastern Oklahoma un-
der the unusual conditions that now
prevail, there can be no hope for the
prohibitionists in future years.
The old federal prohibition law that
makes II severe penalty to have even
one small drink Of liquor in your pos
session or on your premises is still
in effect, according to a recent fed
eral court decision handed down at
st. Louis. The state prohibitory law
IS also valid. In instances where the
state and federal laws conflict the lat
ter is supreme. For instance, one
section Of the federal act prohibits
persons from keeping any intoxicants
about their home. even for medical
purposes. The Oklahoma law permits
rersons to keep a certain quantity Of
beer or whiskey in their home. Un-
der the present conditions the federal
provision will reign.
Delivery Is Refused.
Every railroad agent in Tulsa and
every local express manager has re-
ceived definite instructions from his
head office TO refuse delivery Of all
packages containing intoxicants. The
corporations fear the federal authori-
ties and for that reason they have is

TULSA BOOTLEGGER PAROLED
BY GOVERNOR CRUCE.
Frank GipsOn, Cripple, VIII Eat
Christmas Dinner With
His Family

a parole from Governor Lee Cruce
yesterday secured the release from the
county jail of Frank Gipson, cripple
who had about five months more 70
serve. AS result Gipson for the firs,
time In five months will again be with
his family and eat his Christmas din
ner in liberty
Gipson was originally convicted In
the federal court of selling liquor
without a license and served four
months on this charge When re-
leased from the federal Jail he was re-
arrested by state enforcement Off
GERS on the same sale and convicted
in the county court, sentenced to serve
ninety days in jail and pay fine OF
$3.50.
The case was brought to the atten-
~~~~~~~~~~~-~~~~~~~
o. the United States or any Indian
might lawfully destroy any ardent

Basis of Opinion.
The part of the opinion on which
was based the decision is as follows:
THE enabling act for the admis.
sion of oklahoma contained the fol-
lowing provisions: Nothing contained
in the said constitution shall be con-
strued to limit or impair the rights
o. persons or property pertaining to
the Indians of said territories, or TO
limit or affect the authority of the
government OF the United States to
make any law or regulation respect-
ing such Indians. their lands, prop
erty or other rights by treaties. agree
ment. law or otherwise, which It
would have been competent to make
if this act had never been passed.
Said convention shall provide in said
constitution that the manufacture,

intoxicating liquors within those parts
of said state now known as the Indian
Territory and the Usage Indian reser-
vstion and within any other parts Of
said states which existed as Indian
reservations on the 1st day OF Jam
uary. 1906, is prohibited for a period
of twenty-one years from the date Of
admission Of said state into the union
and thereafter until the people OF said
state shall otherwise provide by
amendment Of said constitution and
proper state legislation"
Another curious situation In the
face OF all this Is the fact that federal
iioens. for the sale of liquor can still
be issued In eastern Oklahoma, even
after this decision. These licenses
have been issued right along In this
section OF the state. and where per-
sons have been found selling liquor
who do not possess federal license.
they are arrested. and. upon convic-
tion, imprisoned. In many instances
these federal licenses have been taken
by the state as prlma facie evidence
that the holder thereof is guilty of
violating the state liquor law. From
this time on the government has the
power to arrest persons both for SELL
ing liquor In violation OF the federal
prohibition law and of selling II with
out having obtained a government IL
cense.

Many bootlegging establishments"
have gone out OF business, claiming
that things are so tight" that they

Persons are buying what whiskey they
want from individuals who sell II

whiskey are dealt out, and In many
Instances is being sold at rs cents a
drink for very small drink. Beer is
almost impossible to obtain. The only
supply now available is that which men
have ordered for their home use. This
will be gone in short time and there
will be no opportunity to procure
more.

with a flask OF whiskey in his inside

1t Is being rumored that the gov
eminent will place man in charge

tion, of the type Of "Pussyfoot' John
who, before statehood. was the terror
Of all bootleggers and private citizens
alike, and who left scene Of devasta-
ton in his wake never equaled even
by Carrie Nation of hatchet fame.
1t will be but a short time until
government officers will infest this
s"cton. They will search high and
law for contraband liquor. And they
will be no respectors of persons. If
the governor of the state himself were
to be found in Tulsa drinking a bottle
of whiskey he would be arrested given
a preliminary hearing before United
States commissioner and then hauled
off to prison.
Coming From All Sides.
And all this time the state officers,
the county officials and the city po-
lice will be at work enforcing the
state prohibition law. Wherever they
find a man who has violated some Sec
tion of the federal prohibition law and
not the state law, they will turn him

The news reporter that handles

the whole trouble, As the scribe

Most OF the attorneys who mako

and news is harder 10 find than the
proverbial needle in the hay stack.
