SECOND APPEAL IS TAKEN
Special to the Daily Leader.

Special to the Daily Leader.
Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. AS
sistant Attorney General w. G.
Reeves has prepared a second appeal
to the supreme court Of the United
states in the Oklahoma gas piDina
eases. In the first case the court ar
frmed the decision Of Judge Ralph f.
Campbell Of the Eastern Oklahoma
district, to the effect that the Oklaho-
lna law forbidding the piping Of gas
out OF the state was null ana void, but
provided that application might be
made by the state to the lower court
for the modification of his decree.
The feature Of his decree to which
the strongest objection was made was
that it prohibited the Oklahoma Off
cials from interfering with the piping
OF gas under that or any other Jaw.
The attorney generals contention is
that the decision of the United States
supreme court did not go to actions
under the nuisance law or for OBJ
structing highways. 1t is also claim
ed that it did not effect the sections
of the law prohibiting the use OF
pumps to convey the gas at a pres
sure of more than 800 pounds and pro-
viding that no one company shall
take more than it's pro rata share OF
the gas, The supreme court opinion
intimated that these might be reas-
onable regulations. The state there
fore applied to Judge Campbell for a
modification of his decree on those
three points, but was refused on all
three, and now appeals from this rul-
ing
