fought the resolution and said that
there was % clique OF attorneys repre-
santing secured creditors with view
Of delaying BANKRUPTCY proceedings so
ors would become preferred liens.
AttorneyiW c. Mexican defended the
resolution and attacked Corporations
and manufacturing interests, alleging
these interests were trying to force
Mr.. Thompson into bankruptcy, which
would throw the Thompson coal lands
on the market at prices that would
make the claims OF the unsecured
creditors worthless. Attorney Mexican
threatened TO cause congressional in

Attorney T. II. Hudson, who offered

did mot represent claims In West yir-
GINA and in this state which were
about to ripen into valid liens and If
his purpose in fayoring the resolution
was not because II would delay bank

claims of his clients to become pre-

DAISY FLY KILLER sl
FOX-HUNTERS IN THE WAR
Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That
Sport in Britain Are Now at
the Front.

Waterloo, according to the duke Of
Wellington, was won on the playing
fields of Elton. Should Britain emerge
triumphant from the present conflict
we may find someone rising to claim
that the campaign in Flanders was
won in the English shires. The shires
are the headquarters of fox-hunting,
which most humanitarians denounce.
George Bernard Shaw, for example,
has no words strong enough to con-
denim it with. Mr.. Jerrocks, the hero
of sporting novel, describing fox
hunting as wax Without it's guilt and
only rs per cent Of its danger" 1t
has to be admitted, however, that
they who follow the hounds have an
swered magniicently to their coun-
try's call.
There are, it proves, $50 masters
of hounds with the British colors,
5000 members of hunts and 1,5OO
hunt servants. To them must be
added the officers of the regular army
who are accustomed to ride to hounds,
likewise numbering some thousands.
The total is an impressive one 1t
suggests that the real attraction of
this sport may be that it is, as Jer-
rocks says, "a sort of war"

GRANDFATHER LAW
Unconstitutional
SUPREME COURT ANNULS< THE
FAMOUS OKLAHOMA RACE
LAW.
DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS
Chief Justice White Announces Decis-
ion Which UphoIds Conviction OF
Oklahoma Officials.

Washington.-In probably one OF
the most important race decisions IN
is history, the supreme court annu1led
as stitutional the Oklahoma con-
stitutfonal amendment and the An
napol1s. Md, voters qualification law
restricting the suffrage rights of those
who could not vote or whose ancestors
could not vote prior to the ratification
of the Fifteenth amendment to the
federal constitution.
Chief Justice White, native OF the
South, and a former Confederate sol
der, announced the courts decision,
which was unanimous except that
Justice McReynolds took no part in
the case.
cit is true" continued the chief
justice, that it contains no express
words of an exclusion from the stand
ard which it establishes of any person
on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude prohibited by
the Fifteenth Amendment, but the
standard itself inherently brings that
result in to existence since it is based
purely upon a period of time before
the enactment of the Fifteenth
Amendment and makes that period
the controlling and dominant test of
the right of suffrage.
"In other words, we seek in vain
for any ground which would sustain
any other Interpretation but that the
provision, recurring to the conditions
existing before the Fifteenth Amend
ment was adopted and the continu-
ance of which the Fifteenth Amend
ment prohibited, proposed by, in sub
stance and effect, lifting these condi-
tions over a period of time after the
amendment to make them the basis
of the right to suffrage conferred in
direct and positive disregard for the
Fifteenth Amendment. And the same
result, we are of opinion, is demon
strated by considering whether 1t IS
possible to discover any basis Of rea-
son for the standard thus fixed other
than the purpose above stated.
1--WE say this because we are un-
able to discover how, unless the pro-
hibitions of the Fifteenth Amendment
were considered, the slightest reason
was afforded for basing the classified
ton upon a period of time prior to the
Fifteenth Amendment Certainly it
cannot be said that there was any pc
culiar necromancy in the time named
which engender attributes affecting
the qualification to vote which would
not exist at another and different pc
riod unless the Fifteenth Amendment
was in view"
