JOHN TUCKER
WINS OUT
ON HABEAS
Confessed BOOilegger Will Be Brought
Here From McAlester Penitentiary 10
Stand Trial il District Court

John Tucker will make another fight
for his liberty n
Tucker last spring was taken from
the Grady county jail here to Anadar-
ko where Judge VIII Linn was holding
a term Of the district court and there
entered a plea 'of guilty to a felony
charge. He also pleaded guilty to mi
nor charges in the county court
Tucker accepted a sentence Of two
years imposed by Judge Linn at Ana
darko and it was agreed that the sen
tences to be imposed in the county
court were to run concurrentIy with
that served in the state penitentary
However, John Venable, attorney
for Tucker. asked for a writ of ha-
beas corpus on the grounds that Judge
Linn had no authority to sentence
Tucker in Caddo county for an Of
fense committed in Grady county The
criminal court of appeals sustained the
point and this morning notice was re-
ceiyed by the court clerk that the plea
for habeas corpus had been granted
and that Tucker would be remanded to
the custody Of the sheriff Of Grady
county to be proceeded against as if
no proceedings had been had or action
taken in his cause in the district court
of Caddo county. The warden at the
state penitentiary was directed to turn
Tucker over to Sheriff Bailey and it
is presumed that it will not be neces-
sary for Grady officer to go for him
It is presumed in official circles that
Tucker has decided to fight the case
hoping to be freed by a jury.

AT Gulport early yesterday a forty
mile velocity was reported: New Or
leans, thirty miles; over Mobile Bay,
seventy five miles was reported at
noon. Weather bureau officials here
are almost without information on

OF communication lines.
Last reports indicate that the hur-

The rapidity with which it gained
velocity is shown by Mobiles report.
At that point the gale was going fif-
ty-five miles an hour at noon. At
the last reports, about o'clock, it
had a speed of ninety-two miles an

EXCESS OF OFFICERS
FOR RESERVE CORPS
New CondiGon Brought About by
Division of Units.

For the FIRST time since the oLlorcaH
CT war there is a surplus Of Officers
that is. Of those commissioned in the
Cricers' Reserve Corps-in the United
states army.
This curious conditions has been
brought about BY the divisional and
re-imental reorganizatio recently an
nounced BY the War Department. The
new American infantry regiment. for
service in France. totals $50 men,
with 103 officers
In the division. cavalry regiments
are omitted, and in their place are
companies OF bombCrs, sappers. Dig
gers. rifle Erer adiers. etc. The net
result Of the readjustment has been
10 decrease the need for officers. and
10 disarranEe the quota that had Un-
til recently been held TO be necessary
for the new draft army.
II is predicted that hundreds OF
those now being trained in the second
series of officers camps will be kept
indshnitelv on the reserve list, unless
they are transferred 10 the Quarter
master or Sanitary corps, or some
other point outside the regular or
ganization where their services might
be required.
II seems to be certain that COM
missions in the Officers Reserve
Corps will be much harder to obtain
from this time forward. and that
many Of those now undergoing train
ing are bound TO be disappointed so
far as early hopes OF active service
are concerned.
