EDITOR IS ACQUITTED,
 HIS STORY NOT IMMORAL
Boston Judge Frees Mencken - Reads Criticized Article And
 Finds It All Right,

Boston, April Pl-H. L. Menc- en. editor of the American Mer- cury. was acquitted In municipa court today on a charge of possess ing and selling obscene literature, He was arrested Monday when he sold a copy of the April issue Of his magazine on Boston Common.
 The arrest was made at the in- stance Of Rev. |. Frank Chase, sec retary of the New England Watch and Ward society, which had caused expression of the April issue of the magazine because of an article en- titled "Hatrack," dealing with con ditions In a small western town.
 The case was heard yesterday and decision vas reserved until today 10 give the court an opportunity to read the article complained of. Tn announcing bis decision Judge Par menter said tho story "Hatrack" was mot salacious, and did not tend to corrupt the morals of youth, as charged"
 Mencken was accompan to the courtroom today by a considerable group Of friends and admirers and he received many congratulations on the result ot the trial. Injunction proceedings brought on behalf of the editor are pending in T. S, district court 10 restrain the Watch and Ward society from further interfer- ence with the distributor of 'he magazine.
 The judge sustained the argument Of Arthur Gayield Hays of New York, counsel for Mencken, that the magazine was distributed primarily for ar intellectual group and that the article itself would not tend to bring iascivious thoughts to any per son of that type"
 The article has literary merit" the judge said. The words used are not indecent, nor do they tend to promote lascivious thoughts al- though the article deals with sex, The article paints an unattractive picture and neither in name nor In position was 1t coupled with other stories of a sex nature"

! REPRODUCE
LAND RUSH
Pioneers Join in Historical
Celebration at Okla
! homa City.

OKLAHOMA CITY, April a.
R)-A crack of a pistol at noon to-
day released more than 100 waiting
runners" who reproduced the his
tory rush for homesteads when tract
Of 5000 acres of land in and about
Oklahoma City was opened for settle
ment at noon April %, 1889.
The re-enacted dash was made on
foot, in covered and light wagons and
in buggies, across gulches and
prairies and up to the TOWNSHIP" a
strip Of barren state-owned land near
the state capitol.
Several 'S0ers who were in the race
participated today. a..
The strip" then government-owned
land, was opened to settlement on
April ~, 1889. The land of promise"
had been widely advertised and for
tune seekers and pioneers from many
states were numbered among the wait
ing thousands, lined up on the north
line Of the territory.
When the watch in the hands OF
Ransom Payne, United States deputy
marshal. reached the hour Of noon,
busie sounded, carbines In the hands
Of soldiers barked and the race was
on.
Wagons and busgies drawn By fast
horses arrived on the land and men
staked out their claims. Later those
who wero forced TO make the race on
foot staked on the strip" Shacks,
tents and dug-outs sprung up where
once the Indians tepee stood and some
OF the Oklahoma settlers made their
homes in dug-outs, proving up their
claims.
Some Of the men forced their way
into the center of the strip and soon
the nucleus of n village was formed,
later known as Oklahoma City.
The re-enactment OF the run was q
part of a three-dsy celebration held
annually which began here yesterday
with a rodeo and which will conclude
tomorrow with street parades and a
street dance.
