LIQUOR DEALERS
WILL APPEAL CASE
Decision at Fort Smith Prohibits Ship
ment of Intoxicants Into Old
Indian Territory.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 4.-The Nation
al Association of Liquor Dealers has
given notice that it will appeal the
Friedman case of Fort Smith, recently
decided by the civil court of appeals at
st. Louis, to the supreme court of the
United States.
The decision referred to makes it
impossible to obtain intoxicating i.
.quors by interstate shipments into
what was former Indian Territory or
the Usage Indian reservation, by de-
Iclaring that the law of 1897 respecting
the introduction of such liquors into
that section was still in force.
An abundance of liquor went in prior
to statehood, because there was no
law requiring the marking of liquor
shipments to show the contents. Now,
however, there is such a statute, and
the designation serves as notice to
the carrier, who is forbidden to accept
Iue SulpulSllJ lOl llduSpOl ldllOll. II uC
lappealing company will have six
months from November 81, last, to
perfect the case.
Interpretation of the circuit court S
opinion includes shipments of pure al.
cohol within the prohibited list. 1t is
believed that shipments from the Okla
homa side of the state into Indian Ter.
ritory will be legal as permitted by
the state law, and beyond the pale OF
interference by the federal govern.
ment. Carriers, however, have not
/ yet agreed that they can accept ship
ments even from the west side, since
the alcohol is first brought in as an
interstate shipment
1t is probable alcohol will be kept
on the prohibited list, to be strictly
within the Friedman decision, which
means that druggists will leither have
to find substitute for alcohol, or OBJ
tain it by methods not yet devised
Druggists use alcohol extensively in
preparing medicines and physicians
frequently employ it in their practice
In some localities the imbiber takes

ALASKA COAL
OF HIGH GRADE

Ala ska High-Grade Coal Reported on
ey United States Geological Survey
Accompanying Map Shows Best
Approach of Proposed Government
Railroad.
The high-grade Goals OF the Mata-
nuska Valley, Alaska, are the subject
of a timely report just issued by the
United States Geological Survey. The
Matanuska coal field is the area to
which Secretary Fisher recommended
that a government railway be built,
and the Geological Survey report, with
accompanying detailed maps, showing
the areas underlain by coal strata, the
most feasible routes for railway ap-
proach. and other specific and author-
tative information, constitutes valu-
able contribution to the present Alaska
fuel problem.
The federal geological survey has
been engaged in surveying and invest!-
eating the coal fields of Alaska during
the past twelve years. The Matanska
field was first explored in 1898, and
some years later was covered by re.
eonnaissance surveys followed by pre-
liminary reports. AS it is one of the
most important mineral areas in
Alaska its detailed examination was
begun in 1908, base map was pre-
pared, and in 1909 the coal-bearing
rocks were mapped and studied, the
result being the present report, which
is issued as Bulletin 500-"Geology and
Coal Fields of the Lower Matanuska
i Valley, Alaska" by G. c. Martin and
f. j. Katz. The accompanying maps
show the geology, structure, and posi-
tion of the coal beds and the report
gives detailed measurements of the in.
dividual coal seams and analyses OF
the different grades of coal.
The maps, which are on the scale OF
mile to the inch, will also enable the
constructing engineer to lay out the
most feasible railroad route and will
also provide the coal miner and oper
lator with an adequate base for plan

dividual coal beds through drilling.
shaft sinking, or tunnel driving.
The publication of the Matanuska
report marks the close of the first
epoch in the investigation Of the
Alaskan coal fields, to which the geol-
ogists and topographic engineers of
the survey. have devoted so many
years. The Goals of the Bering River
field, the report on which was issued
in 1908, share pre-eminence with the
Matanuska Goals among Alaska fuels
and are in fact comparable with the
lhighest-grade Goals Of West Virginia
or Pennsylvania Other reports al
ready issued by the Geological Survey
cover practically all the additional ac.
cessible coal fields of Alaska, and dis.
cuss and summarize the general con.
ditions of development, including pos
sible markets and railway routes.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 3.-"Old' Jay,
the original ten acres constituting the
New Jerusalem" county seat of Della
ware county, was proclaimed by Gov

Canton, with instructions to see it is
obeyed. General Canton left for Della
ware county tonight.
After "Old" Jay received the ma

200 acres, or what is known as the
Creekmore addition, was added to the
original ten, and both townsites were
included within one incorporation
They became, however, "Old and
New" Jay. Both Jays built court
houses about a half mile apart. The
commissioners yesterday passed a res
olution transferring the records from
Grove, the old county seat, to New
Jay, but the governors proclamation
gives the decision to "Old" Jay. The
adjutant general is to request the
county officers to deposit the records
on one of the original ten acres. Il

they are apprehensive and fear of

shown by reports of the abandonment

Ten persons marched in Wyanoke,

General Activity Prevails in
British Coal Districts.
Work VIII Be Resumed, Tues
day, in Many Mines.
Situation In Parts Of Scotland and
Wales Less Promising.

London April S.-General activity
prevails in all the coal mining dis
triets of Great Britain, today. In
Scotland and North Wales. this morn
ing, there was large increase in the
number of miners who descended the
shafts while in the English and south
ern Welsh coal fields where the East
er holiday is being observed small
gangs of men went down the pits in
order to clear the roadways and to
work, tomorrow.
The full contingent of men is work
ing in North Wales and as the debris
in most of the mines in that district
was cleared away last week, thous-
ands of tons of coal were raised, this
morning.
In Flintshire 5000 miners have start
ed work again, and in the Derbyshire
pits the men are working in prepara-
ton for coal getting, tomorrow.
In Fifeshire, Scotland, the men have
decided not to return until the funds
in the treasury of the unions which
amount to $150000 have been ex-
hausted and as trouble is feared by
the authorities between the strikers
and non unionist men, who have re-
turned to work, large force of police
has been drafted into the county
In southern Wales preparations have
been made for a resumption but the
prospects there are not bright as the
enginemen, firemen and other surface
men have pledged themselves not to
return to work until their demand
also have been conceded.
The first coal will be supplied to
the railroads and mills, SO that al
least three weeks will be passed be
fore the householders in the cities will
be able to secure full supplies for do

deck.
No fear was felt, however. for the
safety of the crew. The revenue cut

wrecking tugs stood by to take the
men off in case the flames got entirely
beyond their control. The revenue cut
ter Seneca was also nearing the scene,
and hope was expressed by the officers
on the cutters that the fire, which was
forward, would be confined by the
engine room bulkhead. The announced
plan was for the cutters Mohawk and
Seneca to go along side when the sea
had sufficiently moderated and put
water on the blaze. There appeared to
be no doubt that once the fire eXtin-
guished the vessel could easily be
