Court Drawing to Close; Many Defendants
Convicted In Criminal Division; Judge
Champion Passed Sentences on Saturday

All the defendants in cases which
nave been tried In the district court
10 to November 18th, were brought
INTO court by the sheriff Saturday
morning. and each, after having been
asked by the court, as by law pro-
vided. If he had any reasons 10 give
why sentence should not be pro
aounced against him. and giving none,
were by the court sentenced in con-
'orInity with the vLiious yerdicts rem
1ered by the jury.
In order to accomplish the vast
amount OF work disposed Of. il was
necessary for both courts 10 hold
night sessions on several different
occasions, some OF which lasted un-
III midnight Due TO the fact that
Judge Cham Jones has 10 hold a
term OF court at LaNton commencing
Monday. the civil court has adjourned
until December 9Th. The criminal
court is still in session and will not
finish its labors until Thanksgiving.
The first case on the docket Mon
day morning is the case OF the state
VI Oklahoma VS. c. c. Bruce, who
is charged with the murder OF a
port. II is estimated that it will
take two days or longer TO try this
case.
Several weeks before court com
menced. Judge Champion went to
Oklahoma City. and requested the
chief justice OF the supreme court
10 assign Judge Cham Jones. OF
Wauril<a, to Ardmore. In order tC
do this, it was necessary that the
chief justice assign another district
judge to Lawton 10 hold Judge Jones
court there. Judge Jones is recog
nized as one OF the leading district
court judges OF the state. Judge
Jones and his court reporter, c. D.
Cund, arrived in Ardrnore on Sun
at the regular hour Monday morn
ing.
Judge Jones presided over the civil
court at the same time Judge Cham
pion convened the criminal court
Judge Champion had n venire of one
hundred men to appear on November
Sth, and out OF this number, a jury
was selected for both courts. The
holding OF the two branches of the
district court at the same time in
Carter county, was an experiment
and has been successfully carried out
in n very few counties of this state.
There were practically no conflicting
between the two courts, and both sit
tings were among the most success

held in this county.

case TO the criminal court of appeals.
All the defendants in all Of the
above criminal cases filed motions

all the defendants gave notice of APP

County Attorney Brown has estab-
lished record during the present
term OF court, and convictions are

to $4,000, 900 were disposed of. Some
We're tried by Il jury. some were

IFSSE WINTERS MAY
BLOSSOM INTO STAR
Manager Nicer Aw Is Convinced
That Recruit Has Ability.
Twirier Possesses Rare Assortment OF
Curves but Lacks Control, That
Which Is Absolutely Neces-
sary to Pitcher.

The case of Jesse Winters, now
clinging precariously to berth with
the Giants, is in some respects strange
" reminiscent of the case of Ferdi-
nand Stubblefeld Schupp. Both came
to the Giants as green as any bushers
a big league ball club ever knew.
Both had a world of stuff from the
start and soon took the fancy of John
McGraw. Schupp warmed the bench
for three years and then blossomed
out as star. Winters isn't star yet,
but he has warmed the bench for one
full season and has started another
with the Giants. He, too, may come
through In time.
When Winters appeared in Giant
camp 1t was at Marlin in the spring
of 1918 McGraw branded him as the
best looking kid pitcher he had ever
gazed upon. Small wonder that the
Giant leader appraised the youngster
so highly, for he has world of stuff.
He lacks, however, that which Is abs0-
lutelv essential to a good pitcher-con-
troll.
Lack of control it will be remem-
bered, was what kept Schupp in the
dugout for three years. The Louisiana
kid finally acquired the ability to
whip the pellet over the plate when ne
wanted to or to cut the corners II

Ouimet says he will probably be
seen in the amateur tourney and in
others of less Importance, but that he
does not feel he can stand the strain
in both the amateur and open tourna'
ments. His health was poor last sum-
mer and this affected his play. Now
he says he has recovered his health,
but he intends to go easy for time i'll

In all of the wars, from the Reyolll-
tionary down to the world war Maine
has more than done its share in the
cause of right and its record along this
line is one of the most glorious pages
in its history.
The world owes much to the sons
and daughters of Maine. 1t has given
It some of the most remarkable men
and women in history. Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow, Americas greatest
poet, was born at Portland. Sir HI

machine gun, first saw the light OF
day at Sangerville His equally fam.
Gus brother, Hudson Maxim, inventor
of smokeless powder, is native q
Orneville. Lillian Nordica. one of the
worlds greatest singers, was born at
Pennington, and Artemus Ward. the
renowned humorist, at Waterford.
Franklin Simmons and Benjamin
Paul Akers. two of the worlds great
est sculptors, were born respectively at
Webster and WestbroOk. Rev. Elijah
Kellogg, whose name will always live
as the author of "Spartacus to the
Gladators" and other oratiOns, as we'll
as the famous elm Island stories for
boys, was born at Portland.
Many of Americas greatest char
acters In history were born In Maine.
Among these are Hannibal Hamlin,
vice president of the United States
with Lincoln, born at Paris; Sir VIII
liam Phipps. first royal governor OF
Massachusetts, first American on whom
Great Britain conferred knighthood and
the conqueror of Annapolis Royal,
Nova Scotia, at Woolwich; Dorothea

insane, and as head Of the female
nurses during the civil war, at Hamp-
den.

Americas public life also were Maine,

for Winters.
NcCraw retains much of his old
faith in Winters and has been very
natient with him, despite some caustlc
criticisms of his judgment in the mat
fer. The Giant leader was severely
manned for holding Schupp, too. but
Schupp finally vindicated him; per-
hans Winters will do the same.

 1 The cannery comprises a two- ire plant with the latest machinery. several fine gasboats and gear and trapsites. the equipment being ap- praised this year by the General Ap- praisement company of Seattle at s214,00O.
 The former company was con- posed of G. B. Hall. president; D.. W. Hartzell, ice-president; I. NJ Foster, secretary-treasurer John Emel, superintendent and local man. .ager. and several minor stockhold- CTS. About 40 men are employed by the plant. Since the cannery started in the year 1917. it has packed 121,000 cases, the largest pack being 65,o00 cases in 1918.
 The buildings are-situated at the head of the Valdez city dock. a mu- nicipal owned concern, which has been leased to the company for 2 term of years. Since the company took over the dock it has practically reha bilitated it, most of the old pill ing having been removed and crec- soted piling driving in its brace. This saved the city several thousand dollars in repairs. .:
 MT. Emel states that he expects to pack about forty thousand cases this year.

REACHING OUT FOR MORE
 :~. LABOR.

Any movement favoring the re- peal of the literacy test for immi- grants deserves encouragement, de. clares the New York World. Re peatedly vetoed by Democratic and Republican Presidents, it stands as a legislative expression of ignor- ance almost as profound as that which it was intended to eliminate. Excluding thousands who under proper conditions might become wor- thy citizens, it never yet has kept out an anarchist or a criminal.
 Since we have spoken of proper conditions, it is pleasing to note the fact that $50 of our greatest indus. trial concerns now urging the liber- alization of the immigration laws profess to recognize their responsi. bility to the newcomers of whose labor they are in need. That most of them have shirked every duty in this respect in the past is shown by the bureau of naturaliZation's report that there are 11,0OO,OOO unnatur- alized foreigners already in this country, most of whom have no com mand of the English language.
 Big industry says that there is work here for 5,OOO,OOO more peo- pie of the unskilled class and that their productive power is necessary to a reduction of the cost of living This may be true, but it does not follow that the repeal of the lit eracy test would bring us any sucE numbers. Other things are to bs considered. Labor is going out ana not coming in, partly because big industry and the American people generally have not treated it fairly
 In many of our manufacturing and mining centers uaskilled labol is regarded as so much raw material It is herded in dismal novels, vic timized, misunderstood, and Jeff practically to its own resources. Nc
