FRUSTRATED.
Accomplish Weakens and
Confesses and Prevents
fi0ldup on Nj. ( O. K.
K. Near Jackson.
The Story as Told in the Com.
mercial Appeal.

The story Of an intended and
frustrated hold-up on the Mobile
4 Ohio Railroad, near Jackson,
is told as follows in the CONNER
cial Appeal Of last Sunday by the
Jackson correspondent of that
paper.
Jackson, Tenn, 13--An at
tempt to hold up the Mobile &
Ohio northbound train, which
passed through here shortly af-
ter ii O'Clock tonight, was met
by fusilade of shots from an
armed guard Of Is men who had
been apprised Of the hold-up.
The bandits, who had climbed
aboard the engine at q point ten
miles from here, jumped when
the firing began and escaped In
to the woods, firing back as they
ran. No one was wounded 80 far
as known. The aamed posse
left the train and began q search
of the surrounding country after
the robbers.
A farmer, who lived near the
scene Of the hold-up and who
was taken into the confidence Of
the bandits as prospective ac-
complete, weakened when the
time came to pull off the robbery
and gave the information that
prevented it. He came to this
| city and revealed the
whole plot. He said that one
man was to be kept in Jackson
and that two were to be on the
scene to rob the train.
His story was that fire was
to be built on the tracks in the
Forked Deer bottoms, desolate
strip of country, and that when
the train stopped the two men
were on board and rob it..
On the strength of the story
of the farmer whose name the
police conceal, a man whose pa.
pers indicated that he was Geo.
Sherwood was arrested here to-
day. The police sent men to the
home the of farmer-informer and
near there found a quantity of
nitro.gl ycerine.
Upon the strength of this con.
frmatory evidence the armed
guard was assembled and board.
ed the train when it arrived
from the south tonight. At the
point where the hold-up was
planned a fife was burning and
the engineer stopped the train.
True to the advance story two
men appeared from the darkness
surrounding the tracks and
boarded the engine. Without
attempting to surround and cap
ture the bandits the armed guard
began to fire. The robbers taken
by surprise, jumped from the
engine without attempting to
cover the fireman or engineer
with their revolvers.
The train proceeded on it's way
northward. leaving the armed
guard behind. A seach was be-
gun Of the woods and reinforce
ments have been sent to the
scene tn aid in the hunt.

The following is q part CT the
opinion Of Justice McKenna, Of
the Supreme Court Of the Unit

lowing comment by the Tennes.
sean and American:
What the act condemns lie
transportation obtained or aided
or transportation induced in in
ter.state commerce for the i'm.
moral purposes mentioned. But
an Objection is made and urged
with earnestness. It is said
that it is the right and privilege
Of q person to move between
states, and that such being the
right, another can not be made
guilty Of the crime Of inducing
or assisting or aiding in the ex-
ercise Of it, and that the mo.
tive or intention Of the passen.
ger, either before beginning the
journey, or during or complet-
ing it, it is not q matter Of inter-
state commerce. The conten.
tions confound things important
to be distinguished. Itsurges a
right exercised in morality to
sustain q right to be exercised
iu immortality. 1t is the same
right which attacked the law of
congress which prohibits the car
rying Of obscene literature and
articles designed for indecent
and immoral use from one state
to another. 49, 1t is the same
right which was excluded as an
element as affecting the consti-
tutionality Of the act for the
suppression Of the lottery traffic
through national and interstate
commerce. 49, This consti.
tutes the supreme fal|acy Of
plaintiffs error. 1t pervades
aud vitiates their contentious. :"
In plain English, this declares
that the legal right to do NOR
al act cannot be twisted into a
defense of an immoral act.
1t ia we'll known that law
breakers hold q state law in con-
tempt while in abject fear Of
running foul Of tibet United States
statutes on the same subject:
the liquor traffic Is q standing
proof Of this. Saloon men defy
the state to do it's worst, but
they never fail to secure o gov
eminent license. So II would
be If the eradication Of the white
slave traffic was left to the
states. The Louisiana lottery
would still be making paupers

County Requests Audit of Records.

A petition bearing the signatures
of 8 per cent of the qualified voters
of Washita county, asking for an audit
of the books and records of the clerk
of the district court of that county
since statehood down to January l.,
1918, has been filed with Governor
Cruce. The petition has been trans
mitted to State Examiner and Inspec-
tor Fred Parkinson by the governor
with the request that the audit be
made.
This is the second petition received
by the governor within the past week
or two asking for an audit of county
records, the other being from Kay
county where 400 taxpayers signed a
petition asking for an investigation
and audit of all county offices.
The county commissioners of Gar
vim county recently passed a resolu-
ton asking the state examiner and

Railroad Sale is Postponed.

Several weeks ago 1t was announced
that the sale Of the Oklahoma Central
railroad would take place on No

that no date has ever been set for the
sale of the road and that it is likely
there will not be any sale at least for
six months. An order for the sale
was made but it is said the court rec
ords at Chickasha do not show that
any date was set, although it has been
said the time was first fixed for Oc-
tober 9 and then changed to Novem-

road, but later it is understood the
Katy became a prospective purchaser.

Chinese Artist.

In the fourth century A. D. there
lived in China an artist, who was also
a poet. His name was Ku K'ai-chih.
In London there is a painting, long
scroll, which for at least a thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved, it.
is in all probability painting by his
hand. One day, we are told, he in
trusted to a friend a chest full Of
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid OF
the chest and sealed the fastening
with a seal. The friend, however,
coveted the paintings, and hit on the
simple expedient of removing the
bottom of the box and so abstracting
them. When the box was restored to
Ku K'ai-chih, he broke the seal and
found it empty. But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise.
Beautiful paintings, he said, communi-
cate with supernatural beings; they
have changed their form and flown
away, like men when they join the
mmortals.-Laurence Binyon, in the
Atlantic.

New Railroad Chartered

A charter was granted last week to
the Oklahoma and Great Eastern Rail-
road, with a capital stock of $4,000.
While the stockholders live in Mus
kogee, the road is to be built in the
city Of Coalgate, and is to be one-half
mile in length. or may be extended
whenever business justifies. The cost
Of construction of the half mile is
estimated at $500. The road will
be built from the railroad to the
main street of the city. 1t is believed
by the promoters that such an enter
prise will prove profitable. The rail-
road and depot are some distance
from the business part of the city,
and such a line will accommodate
travellers who otherwise must pay
bus fare.

STATE CAPITAL HAPPENINGS
To Test Legality Of State Office

Custer proceedings against State
Enforcement officer ]. A. Tillotson
were instituted in district court OF
Oklahoma county by County Attor-
ney d. X. Pope at the request of Gov
ernor Lee Cruce and with the con-
sent of Tillotson himself. That the
suit to remove the state enforcement
officer is an entirely friendly pro-
ceeding and brought for the purpose
of having the courts adjudicate the
question of whether the fourth legis-
lature abolished the office, is indi-
Gated by the circumstance that Pros
ecutor Pope's petition and Tillotson's
answer were filed simultaneously in
court.
The state enforcement Office was
created by the legislature in 1911 for
the purpose of making more effective
the prohibitory statute. The fourth
legislature enacted a measure repeal
ing the statute creating the office.
Governor Lee Cruce vetoed the bill
and when the legislature was subse-
quently convened in extraordinary
session it again passed the measure
over the governors veto.
Members of the legislature favoring
the adjustment of the office assert
that Governor Lee Cruce had placed
the subject before the legislature con-
vened in extraordinary session by
recommending that they enact such
measures of abollshing and consoli-
dating of offices "as in your judgment
may be in the interest of greater
economy"
Tillotson in his answer to the GUS
ter proceedings alleges that even
though Governor Cruces recommen-
dations to the legislature in extraor-
binary session were sufficiently broad
in scope as to have given the legis-
lature power to abolish the office, tn.
fact that Governor Cruce had once
vetoed the measure and that 1t was
finally passed over his veto indicated
that Governor Cruce did not intend
to submit such question to the leg
islature.

ONLY HALE A COTTON CROP
Board Of Agriculture Gives condl.
lions at 52.5 Per Cent

Basing the full crop at 100 per
cent the 1918 cotton crop OF Okla
homa will be 52k per cent, which is
about half the 1912 yield, the latter
being much above the average, &C.
cording to the crop report Of the
state board of agriculture, which
shows conditions on October rs. No
figures have been prepared so far on
the 1913 crop claiming to be official,
or a close estimate of the crop in
bales, but it believed the crop will
not run over 100000 bales and may
be less. Last year there were more
than a million bales. About 10 2-3
per cent of the normal yield of cot
ton was damaged by boil worm.
While in many places the corn was
totally lost, there were some places
where nearly bumper crops were
raised. The state average under such
conditions, must necessarily be low,
but 1t is shown that the average was
1872 bushels to the acre. The same
conditions apply to Irish potatoes. In
some places the yield was good, 9th
ers there were none. The average
for the state is 491s bushels to the
acre. Kafir corn yielded an average
of 151s bushels to the acre and az
tons of forage, while feterita yield
ed 24H bushels of seed to the acre
and 2 1-3 tons of forage.
Growing condition of pasture is ex-
ceedingly good for this season Of the
year. Much wheat has been sown
and much of it is being pastured, so
favorable has the growing condition
been since seeding.

How Capitol Case Is To Be Judged

TIOW NdpItol vase 10 ~ DC SuuSSN
An opinion on the legal points in
volved in Oklahoma City's protest
against the Muskogee-Guthrie capitol
referendum petitions will be given
first by the supreme court, according
to announcement by Chief Justice
Hayes. If the contention Of the at
torneys representing Oklahoma City
that the petition is legally defective,
is sustained, that will forestall the
trouble of going into the mass of evi.
dence to show that fraud has been
practiced in securing signatures to
the petition.
Judge Hayes requested the Okla.
homa City attorneys to confer at the
earliest possible date with attorneys
representing Muskogee and Guthrie
and If possible agree on Tuesday,
November IS, as the date for arguing
the case before the court.
If the legal points in the protest
are not sustained it is likely that a
referee will be appointed to take thu
evidence, which will be introduced
by Oklahoma City in an effort to show
fraud in the signing of the petitions
