BILL
ARGUED
SUP.COURT

Mayor Burton today received the
following letter from o. r. smith. al.
torney for the committee opposing the
Akin bill initiative petitions, the case
having been appealed from the geere.
tary Of state to the supreme court.
Oklahoma city. July 18th, 1912.
! argued the Akin case before the
supreme court this morning. before
three Of the judges, two Of them tTur-
ner and Dunn being absent Il is
probable that / will have to reargue
this case upon the question of jurlsdie.
ton before the full bench for the rea.
son that the three judges appeared to
be divided upon that question.
They were, however, apparently
unanimously Of the opinion that If the
supreme court had any jurisdiction at
all Il would require a trial de noyos
that is, they would not hear Che case
on the testimony taken before the sec.
retary, as they do in other appeals
but would try the case over again in
much the same manner that the county
court does upon an appeal from the
justice Of the peace. They would
probably appoint a rcforee who would
subpoena the witnesses. take the tes-
timony and report bis findings Of fact
and conclusion Of the law to the court
i this is done, OF course. it would mean
that all Of the trial work heretofore
done would have to be gone over
again and would involve considerable
expense for the taking Of testimony
referees fees, WITNESSES fees and, Il the
referee Went into the different COM
munitis as would seem probable, tras-
cling expenses.
Iwill keep you posted as to the pro
gress Of the case.
Sincerely yours,
o. I. SMITH,. /
