THE EXPERTS TESTIFY
111 THE "PAOLO" CASES
The Special Officer Released on his
Own Recognizance Defers
on Trial
Developments yesterday in the cru-
sade on "Pablo" and other drinks of
a similar nature were quite interest-
ing and in some respects novel. V.
E. Johnson the special agent of the
Interior department appointed to
stamp out the liquor business in In-
dian Territory was arrested upon a
complaint filed in the mayor's court
by R. R. Wilson and Landrura and
Cook charging him w'h wilful and
malicious destruction oi' property. It
wa3 Mr. Johnson who made the whole
sale destruction of "Pablo" here a
few weeks ago. At that time owners
of the property replevined the goods
in Johnson's hands which had not
been destroyed and filed an $800 suit
against him. Following the arrest
of the special agent yesterday appli-
cation was made to Judge Dickerson
for a writ of habeas corpus to se-
cure his release. The application was
denied not being in proper form but
Johnson was released on his own re-
cognizance. The trial of Wilson and j"drum
and Cook dealers in "Pablo on the
charge of introducing and selling
liquor was begun before Judge Payne
yesterday afternoon. The principal
witnesses were Prof. George L. Holter
a chemist and Prof. M. L. Lewis bac-
teriologist the experts employed by
Mr. Johnson in the analysis of the
drinks. Both of them are connected
with the A. M.college of Stillwater.
Prof. Holter testified as to the an-
alysis of the sample of the beverages
sent him by Mr. Johnson and the per-
centage of alcohol contained in them.
A number of analyses were made and
the percentages varied slightly. In
one sample the percentage of alcohol
by weight was 1.77 per cent by vol
ume 2.23; in another 1.72 by weight
and 2.18 per cent Vy volume. These
two represent a fair average of the
analyses. Prof. Holter testified that
"Pablo" was beer in a scientific sense
but he didnt undertake to say whether
it was beer according to the legal de-
finition. It would intoxicate if taken
in sufficient quantities. The analy-
sis of a sample of Blue Ribbon beer
showed 4.8 per cent of spirit by vol
ume.
Prof. Lewis the bacteriologist tes
tified that some of the samples con
tained the yeast cell which was evi
dence that they were fermented drink

ed the experts in behalf of the defend
ants brought out a vast amount of
scientific lore. He wanted to know
whether the percentage by weight or
by volume would be regarded as the
standard in deciding the proportion
of spirit contained in a beverage.
Prof. Holter held that among scien-
tists volume was the standard.
After the examination of the ex-
perts the case was continued till
Monday when the defense will offer
testimony.

COUNCIL PASSES SALARY
AND AVtH ORDINANCES
Aldermen and Mayor Hold a Parting
Love Feast
The city council met yesterday af-
ternoon and passed the police salary
ordinance and also the ordinance re-
quiring the removal of awnings.
As it came from the hands of the
committee to which it was referred
the salary ordinance showed marked
differences from the original form
all the salaries having been scaled
down. Early offered an amendment
raising the salary of the chief of
police from $75 to $85 a month. The
vote on the amendment stood 4 to3
Burton McKay and Temple voting
in the negative. The mayor declared
the amendment passed but on a point
of order made by Burton that a maj-
ority of the entire council was re-
quired to pass a measure it was de-
clared that the amendment was lost.
As finally passed with only McKay
voting in the negative the salaries
are fixed as follows;
Chief of Police $80.
Assistant Chief $65.
Tolioe Judge $60.
All ohtor Tolice $35.
The awning ordinance that was
passed requires all awnings support-
ed by posts to be removed within 60
days.
After the regular business of the
session was concluded Mayor Ven-
able suggested that as this was the
last meeting of the year he thought
it proper to indulge in a kind of "love

member for the uniform kindness and
courtesy shown to him and expressed
the opinion that while the members
had often differed in their views there

will toward each other. Each alder

Early also expressed commendation
for Clerk Dews for the manner in
which he had performed his duties

Rock Island Busy Ballasting and Lay-
ing Heavy Steel
The Rock Island is making good pro
gress in rebuilding and improving its
lines on the Oklahoma division. Up to
the present time about forty miles of
heavy steel has been laid between
Kingfisher and Caldwell. Two gangs
are at work laying steel one laying
a mile a day of 85-pound steel and the
other about a half a mile of 70-pound.
It is only a question of a few months
when all the lines will be in first class
shape.
Ballasting is also going on and
about forty miles of track have been
covered.

MAYOR HAS AMP
TO" ENFORCE -ORDIHANGI
Is the Chief Executive Officer of the
City Can Suppend Police
Officers
Mr. Cochran has announced that if
he is elected mayor he will do all in
his power to enforce every ordinance
of the city and this includes the ordi-
nance against gambling.
The republican organ thinks the
mayor is without power to enforce
the ordinances and quotes a minister
of the city as its authority for the
statement. A better way to find out
just how much power the mayor has
is to consult the ordinance books and
here it will be found that the mayor
has supreme power in the enforce
ment of city ordinances.
Section 2 of ordinance No. 94
which enumerates the duties of the
mayor conteJns the following: "He
shall be he chief executive officer of
the city and the conservator of the
eace. He shall have supervisory
control of all police officers of the
city and shall have power to suspend
any such officer for neglect of duty
misconduct or other sufficient cause
and appoint othesr to fill their place
during the suspension. He shall
supervise the conduct of all officers of
the city examine the grounds of rea-
sonable complaints made against them
and cause all their violations of duty
misconduct or other neglect to be
properly punished or reported to the
proper tribunal for correction.
He shall have control of the police
force of the city and shall cause all
the ordinances rules and regulations
of the city to be properly enforcerd."
It is clear from the ordinance that
the mayor has ample power to en-
force any ordinance and if a police
officer does not do his duty he may
have such officer called to account and
discharged.
PURE FOOD LAW HITS HARD
Sears Roebuck & Co. the Chicago
mail order house haverecently given
out that they will in the future fill
no grocery orders on account of the
pure food law. . This practically am-
ounts to a confession that they have
been doping their customers during
the past years with adulterated con-
coctions which have passed for groc-
eries. Now that they are unable to
seu you dope from which they real-
ized a profit of rom twenty to forty
per cent they wont sell anything in
the grocery line. Keep your money
at home eat food that is pure and un
doped and be happy.
HOSPITAL BADLY NEEDED
"any Cases from City and Country
Going to Otter Places
Chickasha needs a hospital and
needs it badly. Cases both from the
city and from surrounding country
are coming to notice every day that
call for ro?p:tal treatment and they
go to ether cities
S.-uu a prominent physician yester-
day in speaking of the matter: "This

city rjeeds a hospital the worst way
and the physicians are a unit in favor
of having ore. Several propositions
have been brought forward lately but
none of them have been gone into. We
want a place where we can take our
patients for treatment we care not
under whose management it is. I un-
derstand the Okiahoma Central rail-
road have made a proposition to the
city of Purcell for the establishment
of a hospital there part of which is
to be for their own use but I learn
that the road would much rather have
the hospital at this point and I believe-
if the same proposition were made
them as Purcell has made we could get
it."
