SAYS LIQUOR ACT ILLEGAL.
Constitutionality Questioned Goes
Too Far Says Attorney.


The constitutionality OF the new
liquor law enacted by the last leg
islature, providing that it shall be
unlawful to rent, lease or keep 4
place for the purpose of selling, dis
posing or giving away intoXicants,
is being questioned by Judge Clark :
division of the district court. Okla
homa is the only state in the union
that has such law.
The same questions were raised in
the cases of Carol and Joe Proctor
and Jim Strimple, all charged with
violation of this statue Attorney
Twyfor1, acting in behalf of the de-
PENDANTS, argued before Judge Clark
wednesday that such statute went
beyond the police powers of the state
and for this reason was unconstitu-
tional. He stated that it would ba
possible for a man 10 lease a place
with the intention of keeping intox-
icants and after he had rented the
place change his mind. According

FINAL ROLL CALL
TWENTY-FIVE REUNION OF
CONFEDERATE VETERANS HAS
PASSED INTO HISTORY.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 29.-With
flags furled and kits packed, many
survivors of the southern army who
attended the twenty-third annual
United Confederate Veterans reunion
here, departed for their homes Thurs
day night.
DEATH stalked in the midst of the
cheering throng which Thursday par
ticipated in the impressive veterans
parade. Three aged soldiers who
came to renew campaign friendships
made during the war between the
states responded for the last time to
their regimental calls.
Robert Nolen, vetrean from Hous-
ton, Texas, fell down the steps of the

Young Leads Parade.

TOuHS LCduo al ddC'
General Bennett II. Young of Louis
vile. Ky, commanderin in chief of the
United Confederate Veterans, led the
parade. Upon reaching His head
quarters he dismounted and standing
bareheaded in the sunshine, watched
the survivors OF the Confederate army
p-1ss by. Members of General Young's
staff, Governor Hooper, Miss Kate
Daffa nof Austin, sponsor for the
south and othe's were guests of Cen
eral Young on the reviewing stand.
A picturesque feature of the parade
was the presence of several negro
"uncles" who followed their masters
through the war between the states.
A number carried live chickens, H.
Illustrative of the manner in which
they foraged when food was scarce
during the fierce campaigns. They
were heartily cheered by the specta-
tors.
This afternoon the Pied Piper of
Hamlin was presented in local park
by several hundred school children
in honor Of the veterans.
In an official memorial to the
United Confederate Veterans tonight
General Young called attention to the
significance attached to the furnish
ing of government horses to the vet
Grams for today's parade. The me-
mortal in part follows:
Furnish Cavalry Horses.
TENTS and cots have been tender
ed by the United States government,
but never before have the Confed-
crate veterans been supplied with
government horses for their annual
parade. This act of the government
toward the people of Chattanooga
and towards the veterans is most
highly appreciated Surely this ac-
ton indicates that all the bitter feel
ings Of the war have passed away
In no other country in the world save
this great republic has such a thing
even been possible. 1t speaks vol
umes for the spirit that dominates
the greatest republic in the world.
1t shows that in fifty years the pas
sion and prejudice of the most en-
tended civil war in history has been
replaced by a comradeship which is
superior to any peace monument"
Tonight reunion week was closed
with grand ball rendered to the
conventions OF Sons OF Confederate
Veterans, who met simultaneously
with the United Confederate Veter-
ans.

was injured in fall Wednesday,
died at a local hospital Thursday.
! G.. W. Mullenix of London, Ga, en-
tered a restaurant just after the vet
erans' parade was ended and drop
ped dead. Several veterans were eX-
hausted by the trying ordeal OF
THURSDAYS march, but at late hour
no additional deaths had been re-
ported.
Scenes Thursday night at the rail-
road stations brought tears to eyes
of thousands of visitors who were re-
turning to their homes after attend
ing the reunion. Aged soldiers, when
parting clasped each other in warm
embrace and uttered fervent prayers
that they would meet again at the
next reunion. Many were so feeble
that they could scarcely Chamber
aboard the trains, but willing hands
were ready to assist them.
The climax of the reunion came
Thursday when several thousand vet
Grams marched and rode through the
city streets in their annual parade,
accompanied by sponsors and escort
ed by national guardsmen from sew
eral states.

NEW MOVE PLANNED
FORSTATESCHOOLS
WOULD INITIATE A BILL IN OP.
POSITION TO WOODARD'S ABO
LiTION MEASURE.

Oklahoma City, May 29.-Rapre.
sentatives of the state school inter
ests gathered in Oklahoma City or
Wednesday for the purpose of draft
ing a bill to initiate in opposition tc
the Woodard initiated measure when
provides for the abolition of nine edu
cational institutions. The proposed
measure provides for the consolida-
ton of the Ada and Durant normals

Broken Arrow agricultural institu
ton, the Alva and Weatherford nor

Plan of Bills.
The bill as planned provides for
the permanent establishment of the
State University, the Durant, Alva
and Edmond normals, the A. and NJ.
college, the Claremore preparatory
school, the Tonkawa preparatory
school, agricultural school at Warner,
Goodwell, Lawton and Tishosmingo,
the school for the blind at Muskogee,
school for the deaf, dumb and blind
(coloredD at Taft and the colored
agricultural at Langston, the college
for women at Chickasha and the boys
training school at PaIls Valley. It IS
known that the governor favors the
abolition of a number of the state
schools. but it is believed that he is
to the above plan of doing
away with the six institutions. Gov
ernor Cruce has stated repeatedly in
his messages to the legislature and
public that the state had too many
educational institutions at the pres
ent time. Following his suggestions
the Woodard bill was initiated, which
would abolish nine schools, three
normals. five agricultural schools and
the school of mines, if carried.

Dentist Takes His Life.

Marshall, June 23.-Filling a
box with excelsior saturated
with oil and wood alcohol, then
crawling into the box and set
ting fire to the excelsior, DR.. B.
S. Slater, 40 years old, of Mar
shall, ended his life here today.
DR.. Slater, who was a dentist,
left his home at an early hour
this morning and is supposed to
have gone directly to his office.
About 5 o'clock, J. C. Hensley, a
butcher, on his way to open his
market discovered smoke pour
ing from windows of the doc
tors office. Going into the
building and upstairs, Hensley
tried to enter the room, adjoin-
ing the office, in which the fire
was burning. Failing, he gave
the fire alarm, and with assist
ance forced the door open, and
eXtinguished the flames.
Amid the smoke, the feet OF a
man were discovered protruding
from under the edge of the box,
and although the body was char
red beyond recognition, investl-
cation proved that it was Or.
Slater. 1t appears that DR.. Sla-
ter first filled the box with pa
per and excelsior, and saturat-
ing the entire box and kindling,
buried himself in it, and set fire
to the saturated mass.
DR.. Slater is survived by his
wife and three children and a
half brother, who lives in Sui
phur Springs, Texas. He came
to Marshall about eight months
ago from Kansas City, and has
diploma from the Indianapolis
Dental College. The body will
be sent to Kansas City for bur
ial. and will be accompanied by
Mrs. Slater and children, who
will make their home there.

Nav Lose Two Trains.

Batesville, June 23.-Based
on a report from St. Louis, it is
believed here that one Of the
passenger trains on this division
will be taken off, as a result of
the retrenchment policy of the
Iron Mountain, following the SUI
preme courts decision uphold
ing the two-cent rate. People
on the White river division were
already complaining at made
quate passenger train service,
and a curtailment of that ser
vice now will work a great hard
ship on the travelling public Of
this section.
Another report is to the effect
that the Hot Springs special,
now routed by Fort Smith, will
come from Joplin to Newport
making only three stops between
Newport and Joplin, and one OF
those stops will be Batesville
This sort of an arrangement will
be satisfactory toBatesville peo-
ple.

Showers Help Crops.

The showers of Sunday and
Monday visited sections of Jack
son county, extending from the
northern to the southern bor-
ders and from the eastern to the
western boundaries in varying
degrees of rainfall.
In some places light, only a
sprinkle and in others a mile
away heavy and very benehclal
to crops, particularly to corn
which was seriously needing
rain and continues to suffer for
want of moisture in the localities
skipped by the showers.
Some sections such as lower
Oil Trough received the hrst
wetting in the past two months
and some corn and cotton had
never had a shower since plant
ed.
Cotton is in splendid condl-
ton, the ground clean and we'll
cultivated, the plant healthy and
showing good development. The
prospects for the season, so Tar
as cotton is concerned, have
rarely been better.
