PROHIBITION
 STATUT VOID
OKLAHOMA PRoHl6lToRY LAW RECEIVES BLACK EVE IN GRIM
 NAL COURT OF APPEALS.
Portion Which Restricts Amount of Liquor Kept is Declared
 Unconstitutional.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 14- That portion of the state prohibition law limiting the amount of intoxicat- ing liquor which may be kept in a place of business to one quart and in q private residence to one gallon was given knockout blow by .yle crim- inal court of appeals in an opinion by Judge Armstrong Thursday when the statute was declared in violation of both the state and federal consti- tutions
 The case was brought before the court of last resort in criminal mat ters by an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by w. J. Will son, of Ardmore. who was arrested charged with having in his possession three quarts of alcohol
 The case was submitted upon an agreed statement of facts and the only question before the court was the constitutionality of the statute.
 The statute limiting the amount which may be kept in a private home to one gallon was not in issue, but the question Is identically the same and it as stated by Judge Armstrong that the ruling will operate to also put that provision of the law out of operation.
 Judge Armstrong. in the opinion of the court, cites a long list of de- cisions from the federal courts and the highest courts of many states.
 It Is held that the statute in vio- lation of section :, article of the state constitution in that it deprives a ciizen of the United States of his property without due process oG law. It is in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitu- tion which provides that no state shall pass an ylaw which deprives any cit izen of the United States of property without due process Of the law.
 Under the statute which was abol- ished today the mere possession ot intoxicating liquor over the amount stipulated in the law was sufficient evidence upon which to return ver- dict of guilty Of violation of the H. quor laws and many convictions have been obtained under the statute.
 The statute has been the means of driving many bootleggers of, the state out of business.

MISTRIAL FOR
 DIR. [. B. HYDE
MISSING JUROR RETURNS AND IS DECLARED MENTALLY lNcoM.
 PETENT BY THE COURT.
Judge Rules That Defendant Must be Tried Asain--Fixes Date for
 January ?.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 14.--Ths second hearing of Dr. B. Clarke Hyde on charge of murdering Col onel Thomas H. Swope, ended in c mistrial today. Harry W. Waldron the Hyde juror who escaped from the custody of a deputy marshal. last Monday. returned home today.
 Judge PortcrfieId said he was men. tally incompetent and all of the jury was discharged. Waldron was noi punished and was permitted to go home.
 Dr. Hyde's third trial was set for January ?, 1912. 1t is generally un- 9erstood the state will ask for a continuance of the case at that time. There Is little possibTity of the case being reached before the Aprii term of court.
 Attorney for Dr. Hyde objected to the dismissal of the jury today. Judge Porterfield overruIed their objection and said the rights of the defendant had not been placed in jeopardy The attorneys for the defense were greatly downoast over the sudden ending of the trial. They had reg>eded the jury as favorable to the cause of Dr. Hyde.
 The majority of the jurors refused to discuss their opinions of the case. Several of them had not made up their minds. One juror said he was convinced pr. Hyde would have been acquitted, as many of the jurymen thought the states witnesses haA been coached.
 Dr. Hyde received the dismissal oi the jury as he has every otner unu- sual feature Of the case--wlth a quiz zled smile. He and Mrs. Hyde left the court room soon after the jury had been discharged
 It is estimated that the second trial of Dr. Hyde, which would have clos ed its eighth week Saturday night has cost $75,OOO. About $1O,OOO oi this amount has been spent by the county.

Millionaire Is Painted in Vivid coIors by Attorneys for Defense--Fcrm- CT Is ilI at Hospital.
 in New York.

New York, Dec. 14 The jury try ing Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad for their alleged attempt to murder ". E. D. Stokes heard from connsel today two final pleas for thu snow girls acqulttaI that brlstled with un- sparing denunciation of the millioa- aire sportsman who now lies criticai. " Ill as the result of all operation.
 Tomorrow Assistant District At torney Buckner win sum np TOT The prosecution and after Justice Mar quis. charge the ease will go to tue jury. probably before nightfall.
 Stokes was painted by Attorney Robert NJ. Moore as "monster' ie- termned to get possession of hesu- tiful young girl and by getting an exonerating note from her to free himself of all responsibility for caus- ing her downfall
 The chief aecnsation--that of plot of the girls to extort money from the, millionaire, he held was amply disapproved by the fact that the girls bought their reyoIyers with DO attempt at secrecy Attorney Moore eisplayed pho1o- graph of Miss Graham taken ii tha time of her visit to the Stokes farm at Lexington. 10 emphasize the point | that she had changed from Q Deauti- ful. healthy, buxom girl to the worn and fragile creature that had wept ca the witness stand. He declared that Stokes took the $17O0 from Lillian Graham not sbecause lie wanted the money. but because she was a pretty girl. !"
 With her money gone, her patrimo- ny lost" continued the lawyer. "he might say When you want money. then come to me. ?

 "The power of wealth has been at work in this case ne exclaimed.
 "Stokes has spent thousands Of dollars to rake up evidence. which afterwards was not allowed on the record, in order to place these two young girls in the worst light.
 We ask you men to decide this case in way so as you can look any honest woman in the face and tell her that you judged these girls on the one standard Of morality, that yon did not favor man because hs was millionaire and bad. ?

QUICK FACTION
 FUR TREATY
SENATE COMMITTEE PROMISES TO REPORT BILL FOR ACTION
 AS EARLY AS MONDAY.
Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, Wanted Resolution Passed Without Refer ence to Foreign Relations
 Committee.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The s5ro gation Of the Russian treaty of IS5: because of determinations against tho American Jews and others, may be. come tine law of the land before ths Christmas holidays recess of con gress.
 The Stiizer resolution already pass. ed by the house directing termination of the treaty after a years notice was brought mp today in the senate The result of a running debate on the question of whether to refer it tc the committee on foreign relations or to act immediately, was an assur. ance from the committee that fs would report Monday. The senate may then adopt either the resolu- ton. with slight change, or the Culberson resolution practically iden- tical.
 Senator Culberson wanted action without reference to the committee. He contended that notice of abroga- ton cannot t6Ee effect until one year after 'the first day of Janu- uary, following tAe action of congress- and therefoiA Ii the resolution should fail of adoption before the holidays it could not go into effect until 1914, or more than two years hence.
 Senator Cullom and Lodge pleaded for the reference to the committee. Both pledged their utmost efforts to obtain committee action to permit the senate to act on Monday.
 q have no doubt that We can do it," said Senator Cullom. Mr. Lodge added his assurance to the same et- feet
 Senator Rayisor was somewhat skeptical as to the committees abi- ity to agree within that time. The time has come for determination of this question:" he said. The argument Is all one way. The treaty has been violated for the past forty years. Time and again we have yielded. We should act now"
 Senator Clark of Arkansas contend ed that if the treaty was to be prompt. disposed of. action should be taken without reference to the com mittee He said congress should either act immediately upon the gen eral public demand or go into the question thoroughly.
 Senators Lodge, Bacon and Cullom refused to accept the view Sat the state department was on trial.
 'The president has told us,' said Mir. Cullom, 'that he is at work on the question and will have something ready after the holidays, and the secretary of state assured me day or two since that he expected to ac- complish something of value to the country, !,

Russia Resting Easy.

| Sl. fetersDurg, Dec. 1.-The Jew
 lsh passport question has awakened only slight public interest here. Tn, prospect of the abrogation of tn, treaty Of 1892 does not seem to dis turb any one. Good relations witt the United States are duly appreciat ed, especially as they af ect the Fai East. but it is pointed out elat Rus sia and Germany waged territlC war in the 90's, during which they remained ea goed terms politicany The abroeation of the treaty would affect Russian trade to the extent ! of abont $S,O00,O00 annually, whereas American trade to four times that l amount would be affected. Abroga- ton of the treaty, it is realized. would strike a more vital blow, if by req son of this Russian subjects were shut out of America. From the stand roint of the Russian government the cessation of Jewish emigration would be very jisagreeable but the gov ernment does not believe the matter would be pressed so far.
 On the other hand the government sees a greater peril in the indlscrim- mate admission of Jews to Russia, as many of these. 1t is asserted by  government officials arc revolution ists, socialists and s<archists. Their coming, armed with American pass ports and with the right to claim con sular aid, it is argued, would endanger the public peace and cause ultimately diplomatic friction and a serious az. gravatbn of Russo American re- lations.
 The Jewish question looms so large in Russia proper that the question of Russo American relations take d secondary place, and fmally it Is de- clared Russia cannot surrender con. trol over the admission Of foreigners within her borders. These are the representative views in government ani other circles, but though not yield ing On principle. it is felt that Rus sia would be willing to ameiorate the conditions in practice under cer- tain circumstances.
 A danger exists that congress sional demonstration might provoke the Russian Nationalists and mem. bers of the extreme right" and ali enate the sympathies of other of the groups, This fear is voiced by Pro- lessor Paul N. Milukoff, leader of the constitutional democrats. While sympathizing With the aims Of the passport agitation he does not ap prove of the methods employed.
 M Sazonoff the foreign minister, said Professor Milukoff today, has classified all the Jews who could possibly come to Russia in two d. visions; first, business men and sec, ond, revolutionists and anarchists.
 But he omitted or forgot a third class, namely, ordinary citizens, who are neither business men nor revolus tionists, but whose visits and resi- dence in Russia are desirable. tn. less objection can be established against this or that particular per son, ali must be admitted without dis tinction of race.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 4.-Depression in
Liverpool was reflected today by the
wheat market here. Scattered com
mission selling accompanied the de-
cline. Large supplies were reported as
having beer received at the British
ports from America, and there was also
said to be urgency to dispose of ume
Gus cargoes arriving from Australia
and the Argentine. A disposition. how
ever. on the part of many Chicago
traders to purchase on breaks led to
a rally. Opening prices were the sam
as last night to Nos below. Nav
started at S9zs to 30, a loss of h@K to
Ah%. touched s9A@%, and recovered
to 90@M.
Lower cables and weakness of other
gain had a bearish effect on corn. May
opened u to Il off, at 47A to 47%. sank
to 47%, and reacted TO 47BTB.
Stop-loss orders came into play
against oats. May started u to M@A
down, at 30A to 30A@%, n fell TO
sOM.
Shorts covering because of higher
prices for hogs led to an advance In
provisions. First sales were 2h to 10
cents up, with May options at 1850 for
pork, s.171s to 9.221s for lard and $50
to 9.55 for ribs.

FEAR DIVIDEND RATE CUT
ON NEW YORK CENTRAL.
Observers So Interpret Selling
of It's Stock.

NEW YORK. March 4.-Fears were
entertained in Wall Street yesterday
that at the meeting on Wednesday next
directors of the New York Central Rail
road Company may cut the dividend
from 6 per cent. to 5 per cent. basis.
Color was given to the report by the
unusually heavy selling that took place
in the stock yesterday, which forced II
down to 1854, the lowest price of the
year. and more than 10 points under
the highest figure OF 1911. reached on
February 3 last.
Although no statement could be had
the fact hat earnings of all the Van
derbilt lines, including the New York
Central, have recently made roor show
ings hen eomrared with 'hose 0 til
year previous. would, 1t was thought,
have considerable weight with the dl-
rectors in determining what course is
hest to pursue.
The failure OF the directors of the Rig
Four. a New York Central subsi1iary.
to declare the dividend on the common
stock usually announced in January.
was also accepted &C an indication that
the Central's directors may ndopt a
conservative policy in dealing with thei
stockholders.

MANUFACTURERS HOLD OFF
FROM BUYING RAW WOOL.
Won't Take Load OFF Dealers,
Even at Bargain Prices.

BOSTON. March 4.-The attitude Of
wool manufacturers toward the raw
material market continues to be a dis
appointing one to the wners Of the
wool.
The manufacturers cannot be induced
to take the load of the dealers
shoulders even at bargain prices which
IN some cases are being offered. They
persist in the method Of merchandising.
which they have followed 50 many
weeks. of buying only for current needs.
When they get an order for goods
they purchase the raw material needed
to ill the order, and go 70 work making
the fabrics. Dealers talk about sup
plies being small in this and other mar
kets, about the prospects Of shortage
in this years domestic clip, and the
impossibility of securing supplies in
foreign markets on a price basis a.
| cheap as the one prevailing here.
1t makes no difference. Manufac-
turers seem satisfied that values are to
be no higher. At any rate they are not
ready to relieve the dealers of the car
rying charges. and the latter apparent
ly must accept the situation.
