HOFFMAN MAY
LAWFULLY ACT.
Guthrie, Okla., June 10.—In an
opinion to (HI. Roy Hoffman, chair-
man of the >t;itc- board of public af-
fairs, who inquired as to whether the
fact of his having judgments against
the defunct Capitol National bank,
for $7,(XK) and $2,800 would disqualify
him from making contracts with the
sanitarium company at Norman for
the care of insane patients, in view
of the fact that the sanitarium stock
is one of tile principal assets of the
Capitol National, the attorney gener-
al holds that it would not, as his in-
terest in the assets of the bank had
already been determined by the re-
ceiver and the amount of dividends
which lie was to receive would be a
mere matter of computation.

Hirarii JtllS*. a painter, has left town.
Sunday nl^jbt he was whipped in pub-
lic by the wive* of two prominent
business men. Monday a delegation
, of business men called on him and
j warned him to leave. Tuesday he had
' dis appeared.
Ellis' assailants were the wife of
a jeweler and the wife of a grocer.
The women had heard rumors con-
necting their names in an unpleasant
way with that of the painter and
they started out to hunt for him
after a conference. They were armed
with heavy sticks.
Just before dark they met him
down town. Together they wielded
their clubs, before the astonished
painter could flee. Again and again
the clubs were brought down on El-
lis's head and shoulders and the
women did not desist until one of
the clubs was broken. Ellis did not
try to escape until the women with-
drew.

FALSE REPORT.
A report bccame current last night
that the authorities had apprehended
the fellows who "blew up" the water
standpipe Saturday night. The re-
port was started when a story was
brought in from the country by some
boys which sounded like it impli-
cated the guilty party. But investi-
gation showed that there was noth-
ing to the story.

The University Regents have ac-
cepted the plans for the new Univer-
sity building. They are now in the
hands of the boaru of public affairs.
The consulting engineers of that body
and President Evans will go over
them at once and bids will be adver-
tised for immediately thereafter. As
mentioned elsewhere in this issue,
Col. Roy Hoffman, chairman of the
board of public affairs, informs us
that the work will be done with as
much dispatch as is consistent with
getting it done properly. It will be
perhaps forty days before actual
work on the building will be begun.
The contract will be let in about
thirty days.

Guthrie, Okla., June 10.—That the
ballots themselves are better evi-
dence of the vote of an election than
the returns, and can be Counted in
a contest where it can be proved that
they are the identical ballots cast at
the election and that they have not
been tampered with in any way since
the election, is the holding of the
supreme court in the case of J. I..
Newhouse vs. Marvin k. M. Alex-
ander, from Okmulgee county, which
is affirmed in an opinion by Justice
Turner. The proof of the identity
and integrity of the ballots is held,
however, to be a necessary prelimi-
nary to counting them in such a con-
test.
The case at issue was a contest
over the county judgeship in Okmul-
gee county. The returns showed 1,-
367 votes for Alexander and 1,784
for Newhouse. Newhouse was there-
fore declared elected, but Alexander
brought quo warranto proceedings
in the district court and secured ;.
recount of the ballots, which gave
him a majority, and lie was awarded
the office by the court. That decision
is now upheld by the supreme court.
n SUPREME
, Guthrie, Okla . June 10.—State En-
forcement Attorney Fred S. Caldwell
today appealed to the supreme court
his civil action brought in the county
court of Oklahoma county to test
the question as to when the police
powers of the state attach to an in-
terstate shipment of liquor. The titU
of the appealed case is the State Ok-
lahoma vs. eighteen casks of beer
and B. W. Tucker, claimant.
Tucker shipped to the railway sta-
tion at Oklahoma City 120 casks of
beer and removed all from the car
to his place of residence except eigh-
teen casks, which were seized on be-
half of the State Enforcement At-
torney Caldwell, while still in the car
Caldwell claimed that this beer
should be confiscated to the state on
the ground that as soon as it reached
the railway station it was held in
violation of the prohibitory law and
that the police powers of the state
should attach. The case was submit-
ted to the county court of Oklahoma
county on an agreed statement of
facts, Tucker claiming that the beer
could not be seized before it had
been removed from the station and
• had reached his place of residence,
as such action would be a violation
of the inter-state commerce act and
the constitution of the United State
The Oklahoma county court decid-
ed the case in favor of Tucker and
held that the eighteen casks of beer
should he surrendered immediately
to Tucker, the claimant. Caldwell ap-
pealed to the supreme court of tin-
state and if the decision there i-
averse to his claims it will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States.
Attorney General C. J. West stat
ed today that he will be unable to
file his case in the supreme court of
the United States this summer,
which was intended to test the right
of interstate carriers to deliver in-
toxicants to holders of federal liquor
licenses, for the reason that the court
has adjourned until next fall, but
states that he will file the case at
that time. This is intended to lie a

A large number of Norman people
remember "llilley" Low. He gradu-
ated from the University with the
class of 06 and was (jnite popular
with the student body, lie also had
many friends among the townspeo-
ple.
"Billey" is dead.
Since graduating lie has been em-
ployed in the First National Bank
at Pauls Valley, his home. A few
days ago he was taken down with
an attack of appendicitis. An opera-
tion was necessary. It proved fatal
Thus ends the life of one of the
purest and noblest little fellows who
ever lived; one whom the world lov-
ed, helped and hoped for; one who
numbered his friends and well wish-
ers by the number lie met, for just
to meet little "Billey" Low was to
like him.
His many friends here will join
his kindred in mourning their loss,
one loss that can never be measur-
ed, the loss of a dear, sweet, noble
life.
