;u%s..1T u$.. DAY At
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
FORMAL OPENING OF CHURCH
ATTENDED WITH IMPRESSIVE
CEREMONIES.

The long-lcOked-for day of the for
NAL opening of the new Christian
church of Ardmore is now an event of
history, it was a day full of instruc-
ton, inspiration, and JOY, and will be
remembered by many as the most
impressive day of their lives. From
the opening session of the Bible
school to the final farewell at the
close of the night message it was
enc continual service Of joy. A large
Bible school assembled and adjusted
themselves to the new arrangement
for more efficient work. The new au-
ditorium is indeed workshop for
Christian service, and the workers
are determined that it shall De used
as such every day and every service.
The large, representative audience
that assembled for the morning ser
vice showed a keen interest and gen
une sympathy with every feature of
the service, the communion was most
beautiful and impressive.
The morning message by Rev.
Spicer on THE Life-giving Vision
was particularly appropriate to the
occasion and was followed closely by
the splendid audience, the thanks Of
fering and fellowship feature was
responded to in heroic manner. Those
who had previously made large dona-
tions toward the building, came up
again with a liberal Offering and at
the close of the services over $1,000
had been collected 1t will require
about 81 800 more to meet all obliga-
tions and provide for the completion
of the building, aside from the $4,000
which the church extension society
carries at 4 per cent for five years,
this will be handled by the church.
No public solicitation will be made at
the services from day to day, but pri-
vate solicitations will be made each
day and reported at the night service.
1t is confidentially expected that the
entire amount, $2,5OO, will be secur-
ed by next Sunday.
The afternoon fellowship and men,
orial service was one of the most
beautiful and touching ever held in
the city, ministers and laymen of vari-
Gus, churches responded to various
topics, tender and fearful reminis-
cences were INDUCED in(by the old
pioneers of Ardmore who reviewed the
religious struggles of the Saints who
have gone on before.
The young peoples meeting at
night was prophetic of a great and
good work to be done by the young
er element of the church. Rev. Spicer
also delivered another forceful ad-
dress on "The Power of Purpose" The
closing service was a strong, mascu-
line appeal for higher standards of
life, after the close of the night SER

The church was beautifully decorat.

FURMAN AFFIRMS
DEATH SENTENCE
COURT HOLDS THAT CAPITAL
PUNISHMENT is AN ACTION
FOR PEOPLE TO DECIDE.

Oklahoma City, Nov 3O-An indi-
rect attack on the policy Of Governor
Cruce, with reference to committing
death sentences, is made by Judge
Henry NJ. Furman Of the criminal
court of appeals in an opinion handed
down Saturday morning affirming the
conviction Of Newton Henry a negro,
in the superior court OF Oklahoma
county.
Henry has been sentenced to death
and in affirming the conviction and
sentence, Judge Furman says "As a
great misapprehension exists as to
the right to commute the death pen
atty and as this apprehension has
done infinite harm to the administra-
ton of law in Oklahoma, and as this
is death penalty case It is impera-
lively necessary for this court, which
alone has the right to finally COnstrue
the law and the constitution in Grim
inal cases, to declare the true mean
ming of the right to commute the sen
tenCe of the courts, We will not dis
cuss the wisdom and justice of capt.
tai punishment. This is a question for
the people or the legislature alone
The supreme question is shall the
laws be enforced? All state officials
have taken an oath to support the
laws of the state.
"No governor has the right to sub
stitute his own views for the law on
capital punishment or any other ques-
tion. Officials should set an example
by obedience to the law. If they dis
regard the law how can they blame
other people for taking the law into
their own hands,"
in dealing with the question of the
right to commute death sentences,
Judge Furman does not refer to the
governor by name, but as the "gover
nor" of the state.
Henry killed another negro, named
Lucas, in Packington in June 1911. An |
argument over a small account Lucas
is alleged to have owed Henry and |
jealousy over a woman. were the prin-
cipal causes of the tragedy, according
to the testimony.
The conviction Of Larry Shelly, an
other negro, in the district court of
Pittsburg county is affirmed in an
opinion by Judge Doyle. Shelley killed
a negro at Dow in Pittsburg county in |
1908. He fled after the killing and re-
NAMED fugitive for three years. He
was sentenced to fifteen years i'm
prisonment,
The sentence of twenty-five years |
imprisonment given to James VIII !
lams, negro, in Seminole county, |
on a charge Of attempted rape, was
reduced to five years in another Opin-
ion by Judge Doyle. The attorney gen
eral filed a confession error, the SEN
tence being excessive and it was on
account of this that it was reduced.
The shortest opinion ever handed
down by the criminal court was rem
dered Saturday morning by Judge
Doyle in affirming a fine of $40 as
sessed against one Aaron Case on a
charge of vagrancy, appealed from
Waurika. There is no merit in this
appeal, is the brief comment of the
court in affirming the fine,
The bond of John fremont, held in
the county Jail in Comanche county
on the charge of being implicated in
the murder of Sherman Woodward at
Chickasha last March, was reduced by
the court from $4,000 to $4,000. In his
appeal fremont stated he was pre-
pared to furnish $4,000 bond

Crawford ia the senate explained some
of his votes in connection with the
