His WanderIngs Ended.

In recent long-drawn trial in New
York the defense introduced a miner
as a witness and went into a detailed
inquiry as TO his exact whereabouts
for the past ten years. 1t was most
wearisome. For day and a half the
lawyer asked this man to tell his
wanderings year by year Finally they
got down to 1911, and asked him:

be interested in knowing that Art l..
ranged for the making of a gauge OF
the field without expense to them in
purchasing additional tanks. Mr.. Walk
er was here last night en- route to
Tulsa to be present at the gas hear
ing there, and stated that he had re-
ceied a wire from the offices of the
Magnolia Pipe Line Company in Dal-
las, stating that he could arrange to
run 10000 barrels day for ten con-
secutive days beginning July 10. That
means that the pipe line people will
make purchases of that amount of oil.
All that the line can carry will be put
through and the portion that the line
cannot carry will be stored at the sta
tion in the field. The largest run the
line ever made in one day was less
than $4,000 barrels, but if they say
they will take care of 10000 bbls., that
they will arrange to do it. Mr.. Walker
wants a gauge that will be fair to ev-
cry producer. He invites every one
interested to stay in the field that
ten days, or have a man there to be up
on every lease. The rules are to be
adopted later There will probably
be a "a hour flush and a 12hour
gauge. But the rules will probably
vary in this regard because some of
the wells which are on the pump viii
not require the 24-hour flush.

Under the order of the commission
gauge of the field has to be made and
if the pipe line had not emptied its
storage in Texas and also in the field
here to have accommodated the pro-
ducers while the gauge was being
made, the cost to the field would not
have been less than 100000 in the pur-
chase of storage tanks. Mr.. Walker
expressed appreciation for the kind
ness of the pope line people.

turb the character of such shipments
which were not intended for such use,
Shipments in the Kentucky case
came under a former decision OF the
Kentucky courts which recognized the
right of citizen to have liquor for
personal use and not in violation of
the state law, therefore. We're leglti-
mately interstate commerce. Holding
the supreme court is to the effect
that the laws OF the state attach upon
introduction of the liquors, and since
the Kentucky statutes recognize the
right of possession in certain cases,
that law was controlling.
As attorneys view the decision, if
a state were to legislate that the pos
session OF any liquor was unlawful
as has been the holding in the case
of the former Indian Territory it
would not interfere with the carrying
of such goods in interstate commerce,
but would render them liable to seiz-
ure and disposition according to the
law of the state as soon as they
entered the states jurisdiction. .

expected to be made to the president
TO pardon Frank Quinn and j. j. Beal,
! the election officers of Kingfisher coun-
| ty, Oklahoma, whose sentence of one
J year Imprisonment and payment of
! 500 fine was sustained in the opinion
of the supreme court nullifylng the
grandfather clause" provision of the
| Oklahoma constitution adopted in 1910.
AS viewed here, it will be shown that
both were acting in official capacities,
under direction of state officials, and
that they had reason to believe the
law was a valid enactment of the state
by vote of the people. 1t will be point
ed out that the state law imposed a
penalty for disregarding it. Although
both Beal and Quinn are democrats, it
is believed here that their application
for clemency will receive support of
Oklahoma republicans. The holding
of the supreme court is conclusive and
attorneys look for no movement to re-
open the case.
OF Little Political Significance.
The political significance of the Ok
lahoma and Annapolis decisions is not
as sweeping as at first thought. Re-
publican leaders declare that it will
mean a measure of success in Okla
homa in the next election unless
there is reversal of sentiment, which
is not expected. Most of the other
southern states either have the liter
acy test applied to both whites and
blacks, or the poll tax requirement,
both of which have been sustained.
Yesterdays decision was the first
time the supreme court ever passed
squarely upon the suffrage restriction
in Oklahoma. Three cases were tried
involving the civil the criminal and
the conspiracy phases of the statute,
with the view of securing a ruling
on the constitutionality of the restric-
tion as imposed in that state. The
criminal case was tried yesterday as
was the conspiracy phase, arising in
case from Blaine county. In the
Blaine county case, Justice Lamar dis
sented in favor of the state of Okla
homa.
Since the Oklahoma provision, pat
termed after the provision of North
Carolina, but long since discarded by
that state, was held to violate the
Fifteen Amendment of the Federal
Constitution, and the literacy test in
voting, as applied to all classes of male
citizens, was sustained, in the opinion
of Oklahomans in Washington, the on
ly course open is to make the appli-
cation in Oklahoma equal or resort to
the poll tax qualification. 1t is under
stood the latter method has been re
jected by one Oklahoma legislature.
Belief obtains here that the convic-
tion of Beal and Quinn will have a ten
dency to retard enforcement on the
part of election officials of suffrage
provision which seems to eliminate
voters of given race.

Development Of Legislation.

The Wilson act of congress dealt
with the status of liquors up to de-
livery to the consignee, after which
it became a question OF fact whether
the liquors were intended for use in
violation of the state law; in other
words, the interstate character of the
shipment was preserved until the
goods reached the hands of the per-
son to whom addressed. Beyond that,

Commonwealth of Kentucky supports
general understanding of the effect
of the statute, held, in many prohibi-

law which forbids the transportation
of Intoxicating liquors, by public or
private carrier, into any county, dis

of such liquors are prohibited. The
act made no distinction between in
trastate and interstate shipments, and
the section laying the penalty gave
no consideration to liquor consign-
