FIRE MARSHAL BILL IS
NOW UP TO GOVERNOR

Oklahoma City, Jan. 27.-"Tipping'
or receiving tips" will not be made a
misdemeanor in Oklahoma, the house
killing by indefinite postponement a
bin by Champion carrying such pro-
visions
Dan Peery classed the bill as freak
legislation, declaring: You might as
well make it unlawful to pass the hat
in church" Clark of Atoka jokingly
said that this class of legislation is
intended to protect the farmer boy who
gets elected to the legislature. and who
finds his Sc per day going in tips" and
then comes to the Legislature for relief
Champion, author of the bill, de-
Tended it by declaring that he has
many letters from travelling men urg.
ing its passage, and letter from the
assistant attorney general of Virginia
stating that a law of that kind is a
success in that state.
The action of the house in recon-
mitting the Jones bill, making it a
felony to carry concealed weapons
after the first offense, with instructions
to report out a bill adding restrictions
against the sale of firearms, indicates
that the house will favor such a meas,
|ure.
The Maxey bill removing the present
restrictions from corporations, in that
they must appoint resident agents who
shall live at the capital, was advanced
to engrossment in the house. The bill
if it passes, will allow resident agents
for corporations to live in any part of
the state.
The Goulding fire marshal bill was
passed in the senate.
The house passed the Marshall bill
appropriating $4,000 for the Pan
handle counties in Oklahoma, to be
used in sinking artesian wells on school
lands.
A bill providing for the appointment
by the governor of five supreme court
commissioners to act in advisory ca
pacity to the supreme court and as.
sist it in cleaning up the congested
dockets of that court, was advanced
to engrossment in the house One com.

of the five supreme court districts
Each is to receive $4,000 per annum and

America is fortunate at the present

The evils of high tariff crept upon

LAW AND ORDER COMMITTEE: ]
REPORTS BOOZE SOLD HERE

We your committee TO look into the
condition of lawlessness in the city
of Vinita, beg to make the following
report:
1t seems as if there is shipped into
Vinita and sold each week great quaint
titles of booze" We did not ascertain
positively where it was sold but We
believe that the bulk of it is conveyed
in the pockets of those that are sell
ing it to the places where the most of
it seems to be drank and that is the
pool halls on South Wilson street.
The situation was taken in at these
places on two succeeding Saturay aft
|ernoons. A perfect stream of boys
and men ranging from Is years and up
were going in and out of these pool
halls inviting their friends in to drink
The drunks soon became so numerous
that the officer that was on hand, be-
ing utterly unable to cope with them,
fell to begging them to go home. We
heard the officer given three invita-
tions to drink He went into the pool
hall with two of them.
One tall, lanky fellow who was be-
ginning to feel rich said: Come on
boys, and take drink with me-" Some
thing like a dozen followed while he
led the way into a water closet in a
harness shop near by. 1t didn't look
as though all could get in, but they
did and another lot was waiting to go
in when they came out.
About this time there appeared on
the scene a nicely dressed man sup
posed to hail from Joplin who went i'm
Imediately to the phone and called up
the so-called boss bootlegger and said:
Meet me at the pool hall as soon as
possible. On meeting on the street in
front of the pool hall the so-called boss
told what great run he had had that
week Ga thing we believe). Said he
was out of stuff (?) 1--WE had no reason
| to disbelieve this), and for him (the

the middle of the week. 1t was to be
shipped in some ones else's name. Sup

The lower court was divided on this
point
For the American Federation Of
Labor. il is argued that to prohibit the
publication of the "We-don't-patronize-
list" would be an interference with
constitutional rights and the freedom
of the press. On the other hand it is
contended that even a constitutional,
right may be so used as to be made a
part Of conspiracy prohibited by law.
Still further, it is argued that busi-
ness is not property nor a property
right, but rather a mere abstraction
incapable Of judicial protection, This
proposition, Is opposed also.
Before the injunction OF the original
court had been passed on by the higher
court, the Bucks Stove and Range
company complained that President
Gompers. Vice President Mitchell and
Secretary Morrison had violated its
provisions by commenting publicly on
the effect of the injunction. They were
brought into court and held to be in
contempt. Now it is argued in their
behalf that the lower court had not is,
sued valid injunction and that they
could not be punished therefore, for
|disobeying it. That it was not a proper
injunction is shown. it is argued, by
the fact that the higher court modified
it.

v|CTOR'S FORCES MAKE
RAID ON "MOONSHINERS'

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. 27.-Leaving
their horses a half mile away at an
inaccessible point in a canyon, federal
and state officers crept, with riot
guns" cooked, up winding trail that
led TO the largest corn whiskey still
ever found in Oklahoma, fourteen
miles north of Calvin The raid was
made in the early morning, when night
is the blacklist Deputy United States
Marshal Farley and local state officers
had felt their way along the canyon
when night fell, leading their horses,
an electric lamp throwing a silver light
at interals on mule-hoof prints.
At the point in the canyon where
a horse could go no farther there was
but one opening, between huge boul-
ders. Tying their animals, the man
hunters continued on their one possible
path. Up the hillside they crawled,
feeling the way with their hands, eyes
staring for the first glimpse of light
among the trees and behind the rocks,
their nostrils searching the air for the
odor of smoke. The electric light was
put away.
The mountain path ended abruptly
at heavy underbrush. This was enter
ed and noislessly the officers advanced
to a clearing, where they knew they
were at hand with their quarry.
The clearing was cut with a creek,
evidently the head of the canyon, in
which they had left their horses. The
officers entered the creek bed and soon
were upon a cabin shakedown or dug.
out at the very head of the ravine.
Smoke had been detected and, ap-
preaching the dugout, they could see
light Through cracks in the door two
men were seen. One was building a
fire under a huge kettle. Another was
fixing the apparatus. Besides the
worm, coils and kettles there were
eleven barrels of mash" The moon
shinerse were preparing to make a
run"
Gently the door was tried. 1t was
not locked, but as it was opened the
man working with the coils saw the
movement an descaped through real
door, hidden from the officers by the
still.
A man, giving the name of G. M
Lacke, who was building the fire be
meath the kettle, looked up to find hin
self covered with guns loaded witt

is in Jail here now.

side of the railroad some times?
Therefore. in the face of these condi-
tions, be it resolved that the booze"
business in Vinita is on the increase.
That the arrest and conviction of
drunks who have neither money or ip-
fluence (Which in itself is alright and
should be kept up), will never sup
press the booze" business as long as
whiskey is allowed to be shipped in and
sold.
That officers who are in sympathy,
in any way interested or in the habit Of
getting booze or drinking it with others
are utter failures in suppressing this
great evil. :
That it looks just a little bit like
there are men in the bootlegging busiA
ness that are thoroughly immune f~Ana
arrest, or from being seriously dis
turbed in any way.
That we feel gratified and greatly en-
couraged by the start that has been
made by Judge Parks and Attorney
Caldwell. They haven't gone very far
and yet they "are going some"
That we realize that the people in
a large part are afraid to come out and
stand for strict law enforcement, and
as some of our merchants have said:
you make fight on the bootleggers
and they will all quit trading with yod
and if you don't the good people won't
say anything any how, but will keep
on trading with you any how and thus
we get the trade of both classes" II
we want law enforcement we will have
to say so for the officers are not going
to make stringent efforts to put down
the liquor traffic unless they know the
people are behind them. Let's get busy
and make our merchants take stand
and do something to build a sentiment
in the right way.
