To Prevent Oil Men
Desecrating Graves

PONCA CITY, Okla, March 10
Armed guards patrolled the United
Brethren cemetery here today to
prevent OF linen from Decorating
the burial spot of ESQ pioneers.
At the same time the district court
here was called on to decide this
issue between mans craving for oil
and money. and the sanctity of the
dead.
The Knox Oil company repre-
scented interests seeking legal sane
ton for erecting derricks and dig
ging oil in the cemetery-the heart
of the famous Mid-continental Ton
kawa field.
The oil men claim they have a
lease on the grave yard and are
ready to begin operations as soon
as the armed resistance can be
overcome.
The little churchyard, like an
oasis in the midst Of a desert of
derricks in the greatest petroleum
producing area in Oklahoma, has
witnessed the erection of rigs clos
er and closer until now it's exist
ence is threatened.
Several days ago oil men who
came to inspect the plot were
thrown bodily from the churchyard

Wilson Dam Work
Progressing; Lands
Will Be Overlooked

FLORENCE, Ala, March 10. =
Progress of government operations
at Wilson dam, part of the Muscle
Shoals project, was indicated today
by notification sent out by Colonel
w. J. Barden, district engineer,
that all timber, animals, buildings
and improvements now on land
which will be overlooked by back
water, must be removed by January
1, 1924.
Thousands of acres of land north
of Florence on the Tennessee river
were sold to the government when
the Muscle Shoals project was
started, with reservation that the
land might be utilized by sellers un-
til such time as government opera
tons precluded its use. The notifi-
cation of Colonel Barden is under
stood as indicating that work on
Wilson dam will be completed to
such extent by that date that prac-
tically all land WHICH was bought
will be overlooked
Practically all of the concrete
work on the spillway section, it was
stated, will be completed before the
first of the year.

SAVANNAH ELECTION
CASE AIRED BEFORE
HIGH STATE COURT

Arguments in what Is known as
the mandamus case in the Savan-
nah mayoralty contest were present
ed Monday to the supreme court.
The Stewart forces of Savannah
were represented by Attorney Alex
A. Lawrence and Shelby Myrick.
The Seabrook forces were repre-
sented by Judge Samuel B. Adams.
The mandamus case grew out of
the refusal of the Stewart managers
to count the Seabrook votes in the
Savannah general election. The con-
tention of those supporting Mayor
Murray Stewart, who was nominated
for reelection in the primary, was
that Judge Paul Seabrook was not
eligible to enter the general cleo
ton because an insufficient number
Of voters had petitioned for his name
t ogo upon the ballot. The Stewart
managers, pursuant to this conten-
ton, refused to count the Seabrook
votes. The Seabrook managers
counted both the Seabrook and the
Stewart votes and declared Seabrook
elected and their. certificate was ap-
proved by the three judges of the
election. A mandamus proceeding
was then brought before Judge Dick
erson of an adjoining circuit to
have the Stewart managers ordered
to throw out the Seabrook votes.
Judge Dickerson declined to issue
the writ, and Judge SeabroOk took
office as mayor and is now serving.
The mandamus case then came to
the supreme court on appeal. At
torney Lawrence, in the leading
argument, devoted his attention
chiefly to the question Of the con-
stitutionality of the Savannah prim'
airy election law which provides that
no one shall enter the general cleo
ton unless a specified percentage Of
the registered voters petition his
entrance. Attorney Lawrence con-
tended that this provision is entire
ly within the constitutional authority
of he legislature, and cited a long
list Of decisions where the courts
have held that a municipal cor
poration is a creature of the legis!a-
ture, and that the legislature may
regulate it's elections and other at.
fairs in any manner it sees fit.
Judge Adams admitted that under
this provision Of the primary law
Judge Seabrook was debarred from
the general election, but he con-
tended that the voters in the gem
eral election had the right to vote
for him, or for whomsoever they
wished, not by virtue of the pri-
mary law, but by virtue of the
general election law. He contended
that the general election is con-
troIled by the general election law
and not by the primary law. Judge
Adams further contended that the
remedy for the Stewart forces was
not by mandamus, but by quo war
wanto. He cited decisions of the
court laying down the principle that
a mandamus will be allowed only
when no other remedy is available
The injunction case grows out Of
an injunction petition by the Stew
art forces to prevent Judge Sea-
brook from taking office. 1t was
declined and the case came to the
supreme court on appeal.
