GAMBLING LAW IN
STATE IS ATTACKED
HABEAs CORPUS INVOKED ON
GROUND THAT VOTE ON SUB
JEcT WAS NOT COUNTED

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 27.-Con-
stitutionality of the state anti-gambling
law, ratified by popular vote in August,
1914, was attacked in a habeas corpus
petition filed Monday in the criminal
court of appeals for Joe Proctor, Bill
Rowlett, and Jim Jones, charged with
maintaining the Olympic club, Okla
homa City, for gambling and boot
Logging purposes.
Attorneys Haskell & McAdams,
counsel for the three men, filed this
petition after refusing to allow their
clients to make bond fixed by County
Judge zwick,
They asked the appellate court TO
order the trio released.
The three men, following a pre-
liminary hearing before Judge zwick,
we're bound over to the district court
and the bond of each was fixed at
$3.50.
1t was contended in the habeas
application that the referendum vote
was not properly canvassed, the re-
publican member of the state election
board being absent; that the law
violates the fourteenth federal amend
nent, and that where 276,000 ballots
should have been sent out, but 100000
lctually were distributed to the
1oters.

OIL FIELD RAILROAD
RATES ARE INTERESTING

In face OF the trial now in progress
in the federal court at Oklahoma City
wherein the railroad companies are
striving for return to the 3-cent
passenger fare, the fact is interesting
that on the oil field railroads the
passenger fare is 5 cents a mile. These
roads we're formerly the Oil Belt
Terminal and the Cushing Traction
company, but both were sold to the
so-called Oil Fields & Santa Fe rail
road. child Of the Santa Fe system.
James R. Cottingham, of Oklahoma
City, general attorney in Oklahoma
for the Santa Fe is president of the
oil field lines. The scent mile fare
is charged and permitted because of
the claim that the roads are still un-
der construction. The Oil Belt was
completed into Oilton, however. on
March 90, and two passenger trains
each way daily have been operated,
at the scent fare.

In view of the fact that the state
has contended these affidavits are
not new evidence, propose to accept
them at their face value, and I ac
not certain it will be necessary to

Paris, July 27.--When was in Italy
! met woman who has the name of
being the most influential woman in
Rome. 1t was under this title that |
was invited to meet her and was told
by various people that on her decisions
and orders the diplomats of Italy
hung,
She is English and loves politics for
their own sake after the fashion of
many of her countrywomen For
while the ignorant may think that the
Englishman is born diplomat. the
surmise is wrong-he is trained one,
but the English woman is the born
one.
This woman in Italy is intimately
acquainted with every crowned head
in Europe She has visited at all the
large and minor courts, she is in con
stant correspondence now with the
sister OF the kaiser, with the princesses
of the houses of Bavaria and Wurtem-
berg, and with the lesser royalty Of
Austria, who wish her to come and
visit them, assuring her OF perfect
safety even though she is English.

interesting theory she advanced to me,
based on her correspondence with
these personages who should be versed
in what they write about.
Il only give you this as theory"
she said. ut had been deduced rather
than stated from the letters that
have received from every side. Be
cause after all, 1t is not only from the
German side that news comes.
"As | say, | put forward no irrefut-
able proof, but | will tell you that
everything which ! have prophesied
up to now has come true. From the
letters which | have received from
members of the royal families of
Bavaria and Wurtemberg have every
reason to believe that Germany Is
about to annex and absorb Austria,
But that does not mean Hungary.

Something very important is going
on in Hungary now. but with all my
correspondence ! am not absolutely

to go back through Switzerland and
will give you letters to some people
who may be able to give you informa-
tion on this point
Whether it, is for autonomy under
German protection, or for absolute in
dependence, don't know. There are
even those who hint at revolutions
and republics. That is illogical and
inconsistent - absolutely impossible
for the sort of people who make up
Hungary. But that Germany means
to take over Austria there can be no
doubt.

Washington, July 27 Sir Edward
Gray today cabled Secretary Lansing
that the British government had un-
der way of preparation another note
to the United States on orders in
council and asked that the note de-
livered yesterday be withheld from
publication, pending the receipt OF
the new one.
No indication was given as to the
nature of the new note. The note to
the British government will now
probably be delayed until the other
is received. Washington officials re-
gard the new development a shighly
significant. 1t is believed that the
last German note with reference to
freedom of the seas influenced Great
Britain to go on record as willing to
consider any new suggestions by the
United States to the belligerents.

Gerard Ask. For Facts.

Berlin, via London, Aug. 25.-The
American ambassador. James w. Ger
ard. called on Foreign Minister Won
Jagow last evening and asked for in
formation concerning the sinking OF
the ship Arabic,
Mr. Gerard learned that the govern
ment had no official news whatever on
the subject.
The only information which the
German government has is that con-
tanned in the newspaper dispatches
from abroad which throw little light
on the circumstances attending the de-
struction of the Arabic. 1t is not even
known whether the disaster was ac-
comp!ished by means of torpedo or a
mine. or whether in case the ship was
torpedoed there were special circum-
stances which impelled the commander
of the submarine to attack the Arabic.
Until officla! advices have been re-
ceived clearing up definitely these
points, the foreign office will hardly
be in position to discuss the case or
make any declaration Of policy con-
cerning the incident.
Officials OF the foreign office make
it very clear that they have no in
tention Of flouting the United States or
seeking to bring about situation such
as that dealt with alphabetically in the
last American note.
