the leading laymen from all parts OF
Oklahoma.

be the fact that University Heights

time and many OF the strongest Meth
odist families of the state may be in
duced to buy homes here and to move
here to educate their children Let
the citizens without response TO the
church affiliation open their homes
and give this great conference roy
al welcome.

Of CUTTIN
NEGRO VOTE
BEALL AND QUINN CON-
VICTED IN FEDERAL
COURT AT ENID

Frank Quinn and ]. ]. Beall, elec.
tion inspectors in Union township,
Kingfsher county, were convicted by
"a jury in the federal court at Enid,
Friday night of conspiracy to deprive
negroes of the right of suffrage. The
jury was out two hours, retiring
about o'clock.
The conviction carries with 1t no
penalty, but is merely a test case, TO
decide the efficacy of the "grandfath-
er" clause recently added to the Ok
lahoma constitution, in elections
where federal officials are to e
chosen.
All of the early part of Friday was
taken up in argument Nv attorneys
for bot hsides. Cruce and Stuart of
Oklahoma City and H. G. McKeever,
of Enid spoke for the defense, while
John Embry, United States district
attorney closed the argument for the
prosecution.
Beal and Glinn were indicted by
federal grand jury on the ground that
they refused to allow negroes to vote
in the congressional election helf
simultaneously with the state cleo
tion on November s, 1910. The de-
fense claimed the negroes were not
allowed to vote because they refused
to make any effort to qualify by max
ing affidavit that they could read and
write.
One of the attorneys for the de
tense declared Friday night after the
verdict of the jury had ben made
known that 1.-The fight had just be-
gun
The defense will present motion
for a rehearing and if this is refus-
ed. il is understood they will appeal
the case TO the higher federal courts.
