FREQ CALDWELL WOULD
ABOLISH OWN OFFICE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan Sin
his final report to Governor C. n. Has.
kell covering a period of two years.
Fred S. Caldwell, counsel to the gov
ernor in charge of prohibition enforce
ment, frankly admits that the office
which he holds is not necessary, and
recommends that it be abolished. He
says the governor has the power to
direct the attorney general or exped-
lent for the enforcement of the laws of
the state. The constitution contem-
plates but one legal department for
the state, of which the attorney gem
eral is the head.
Mr.. Caldwell also expresses the
opinion that the system of state liquor
agencies known as the state dispens-
airy should be abolished He says the
state agency system is opposed by a
considerable majority of the people of
the state Ample provision, he de-
clares, could be made by legislation
comforting upon the governor the au-
thority TO regulate the furnishing of
pure grain alcohol for medicinal pur-
poses in accordance with the consti-
tuition and laws of the state.

CAPITAL HEARING
SET FOR GUTHRIE
Court Indicates That Decision Will Not
Be Forthcoming as Had Been An
ticipated BY Both Cities.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 5.-The
/ ital removal case filed by Guthrie for
hearing in chambers in Guthrie today
Following this attorneys will be per-
mitted to file briefs fully setting out
their sides of the controversy and
bringing forward in detail the law
points involved. The court indicated
that the decision would not be as early
as has been hoped for, since it reaches
the regular term next week, and will
have no time to devote to study of
the suit until the term is completed
The inference is, however, that follow
ing the term hearings the cause will
be advanced for an early opinion.
Assistant Attorney General Reeves,
appearing for the defendant state Off
cials, filed with the court a general de-
murrer to the Guthrie petition, making
answer to no part of the pleadings, as
was indicated yesterday would be done.
Judge Burford, representing Guthrie,
announced that he would order to pre-
vent transfer Of the seat of govern
ment from Guthrie to this place, but
would argue the case upon it's merits
at one session of the court.
Chief Justice Dunn announced that
the court hearing the argument in
chambers at Guthrie was of no signifi-
canoe, being for the accommodation of
counsel, who would have access to the
states law library and other court rec
ords, He also said that no court or
ders would be entered in Guthrie.
This was the courts first sitting in
the new seat of government. On order
was made giving H. G. Martin, referee
in the Pottawatomie county seat re-
moval case, until March II, to make
report. Motions for rehearing in the
Herbert Wagg case involving 4 ror.
ton of the townsite of the town OF
Cleveland, and the case of Maren
against McGarr, in the mayoralty con
test from Muskogee county, were de-
MED.
The court declined to accept quar-
ters in the White Temple provided for
it by Oklahoma City

The sonn of the Soul.

One of the pleasing features in THE
Climax" is the rendition of the beauti-
full song, "The Song of the Soul" which
occurs in the last act. This number
will make the singer and composer
famous, and few dry eyes are rarely
seen at the close of the song. AS one
critic says, Capacity houses will be
given every production which ranks
with "The Climax" and we are glad
to spend our money when the return
comes back in such bountiful meas
ure."

NEGROES APPEAL FROM
POLICE COURT DECISION

The six negroes, whe were convicted
yesterday in police court for maintain
ing or being inmates of houses of ILL.,
fame, have appealed from the police
Icourt decision to the county court. The
case will probably be among the first
taken up at the coming term of the
county court. Judge Byrd says the
precedent of the past has been that
when an appeal was taken such cases
would drag along and finally be dis
missed, but he says this case is going
to be pushed, if he has to personally
bear the expense of the prosecution.

Burial in Little Cemetery Which De-
ceased Had Planned Twenty Years
Ago. Distinguished Men At
tend Last Rites.

Elkins, w. Va, Jan. 7.-Senator Ell
kins today is sleeping his last long
sleep in the graveyard in this little
mountain town. He was laid TO rest
within a brief time after the arrival of
the funeral train from Washington, to-
day. Governor Glasscock, his cabinet,
justices of the supreme court, and
many other state officials besides the
Washington party attended the fun
eral.
The town was crowded and business
suspended. The ceremony was simple
i'm the extreme and was conducted In
the precense Of a throng that took up
every inch of space within the church
edifice and overhowed into the street.
Hundreds stood with barred heads in
the chill winter wind during the prog
ress of the service.
The body was laid TO rest in Maple
wood cemetery, which Senator Elkins
and former Senator Davis twenty
years ago had planned and laid out.
There were brief rites at the grave in
charge of the local lodge of masons.
The most elaborate precautions were
taken to guard against possible opera
tions of ghouls. A bronze coffin, the
plates of which were three inches
thick. was inclosed IN an outer case of
armorplate steel. This was lowered in
to the grave which had been lined
with masonry and which will be her.
metically sealed.
Several thousand persons stood un-
covered near the open grave until the
impressive ceremony was ended. A
special train took hundreds from town
to the cemetery and the train on
which the Washington mourners had
come was likewise side tracked nearby.
Immediately after the interment the
congressional delegation and other dis
tinguished members Of the party re-
turned on II TO the National capital
Mrs. Elkins has not yet recovered
from the shock of the senator's death
and was unable to attend the funeral.
