OKLAHOMA CITY Oft. 11. OoIiir
back to the days of Coronado when
In 1640 with the sacramental wine he
celebrated hi-ih mass in the territory
r.nw embraced In Oklahoma and later
referring to the treaty between the
United States and France when In
1S03 the territory In which this stato
In located was ceded to the Unlteu
K.tates a petition was filed In the ais
trlct court today by Father Urban de
Hapque. chancellor of the Roman
Catholic d'oeese of the state of Okla-.
hotna asking for a writ of mandamus
compelling tho Atchison Topeka &.
Fnnta Ke railroad to accept shipments
of wine for sacramental purposeo.
The court Issued an alternative writ.
The railroad accepted service without
the usual preliminaries and the cage
will bo ret for hearing In a few days.
The suit follows close on the heels
of a rullns bv Attorney-General 8. I'.
Freellng to tho effect that the "bone
dry" law In this state made it illegal
to transport wine even for church use.
. For Former Tulwin.
The plaintiff alleges that he offered
the Snnta Fe railroad company a par-
John von Gastel formerly of Tulsa
and now Catholic priest at Guthrie
Okla. and the railroad refused to ac-
cept It. citing the "hone dry" law.
The suit Is to test the constitution-
olity of the law passed by the recent
state legislature and will be carried
to the highest court in the land if
necessary.
Father de Hasque's attorney Is W.
P. Will-on of Wilson Tomerlln 4
liuckholts of this city. Ife attacks the
state and national "bone dry" laws
on the following grounds:
1. They violate the terms of the
treaty between the republic of France
and tho United States of America by
which the Ixmin'ana territory (Okla-
homa now being a part of the original
Louisiana territory) wa ceded to the
t utted States in that Catholic people
Inhabitants of Oklahoma are not by
said law "protected In the enjoyment
of their liberty property and the re-
ligion which they profess."
2. That such laws are in conflict
with the religious liberty section of the
constitution of the Vplted States and
of the constiutlon of Oklahoma.
3.. That the same are In conflict
with the terms of the enabling act by
wMeh Oklahoma was admitted to the
union.
4 That such laws deny equal pro-
tection to nil In their liberty and
property.
Many Are Affceted.
The petition of the plaintiff is vol-
uminous and refers generally to re-
ligious liberties that have been guar-
anteed bv all treaties with the United
states. The petition avers that there
are more than one hundred thousand
people In the state and some 105
priests and pastors who partake of the
religious sacrament with wine and to
deprive them of this liberty would In
effect be taking property without due
process of law.
Father de llasque as chancellor of
the Catholic diocese of Oklahoma and
secretury to Bishop Theophlle Meer-
echaert is supposed to supply all
priests In the diocese of Oklahoma
with "proper approved and suitable
pure unadulterated and fermented
Juice of jthe grape commonly known
as altarwlne for the purpose of en-
abling them to celebrate their proper
and ritualistic services known as the
sacrifice of the mass" and that "said
altar wine contains more than one-
half of one per cent of alcohol."
It iff represented that investments
amounting to several hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been made
by tho church In Oklahoma In the
belief that their religious freedom
vai guaranteed by tho treaty between
France and the United -States. The
suit Is brought the petition states In
behalf of all the priests and mem-
bers of the Catholic church In Okla-
homa. - "

STATE COMPLETES ITS CASE
Night Sessions Proposed to
Expedite Decision on Keet
Baby Murder.
MARS1IF1KLD Mo. Oct 11. When
the prosecution rested Its case late to.
day In the trial of Claude J. Flcrsoi
charged with kidnaping Baby Lloyd
Keet it was indicated that the man-
ner in which the letter "F" waa writ-
ten In two acts of letters Introduced
In connection with tho testimony of
handwtlling experts would be. one of
the deciding factors In the trial.
In two "letters written by I'lersol to
Taylor Adams who was Jointly In-
dicted with him on the kidnaping
charge the small "F" occurred many
times and Invariably was written with
the loops to the left instead of to the
right. In letters sent to J. Holland
Keet father of the stolen baby de-
manding a ransom for the return of
the child the letter was written In
the customary manner. O. V. H. Mee-
chln writing expert of St Iuin. and
Ir. Marshall D. Ewell microscopical
and writing authority of Chicago on
the witness stand both testified that
both sets of letters as well as a sample
of Picrsol's writing obtained In the
St. Louis Jail were written by the
same person.
According to the expert's testimony
the writing of the letters to Adams
wan natural and that of the ransom
letters wns awkward and contained no
uniformity of style.
Mr. Keet was recalled to the stand
and testified that tho letters appar-
ently were In the same condition as
when he had received them.
Defense counsel tonight stared that
It waa intended to Introduce a hand-
writing expert tomorrow and that
Pier so I himself might be placed on the
witness stand.
Judge C. H. Sklnkerbefore whom
the case Is being tried said this eve-
ning that he expected to start holding
night sessions hegining tomorrow night
and that possibly the defense would
clear up its. case tomorrow-and the
arguments could then be begun.

rad Haiu-sniann said that the declara-
tion of Doctor Von Kushlmann the for.

Comparatively llttlo fighting activ-
ity Is in progress on any of the battle
fronts except In the nature of recipro-
cal bombardments. In Flanders
Thursday both the British and French
troops kept to their trenches neither
essaying attacks nor being forced to
sustain coutitcroffenslves against the
now positions they hold as a result
of tho drive of Tuesday.
The big guns on both sides how-
ever were shelling opposing positions
vigorously those of the allies in
work of destruction and those of the
Germans in. the nature of disturbed
of the peace of tho allies In their new
trenches.

Additional rain over this region ha.1
accentuated tho swampy condition of
the ground and It probably will be sev-
eral days before the British an!
French a;aln Jointly unleash their
men for another raid against the
Teutons. Wednesday night the French
repulsed a heavy counterattack east
of Draeihank- The Germans during
this time let the British alone with
their Infantry but hurled masses of
shells into their line west of Passchon-
daele. Along tho southern front In France
the Germans again havtj met with de-
feat In attempts to capture French
positions on the east bank of the
Meuse In the Verdun sector. The at-
tacks however wore not made In

of trench raiding operations.
Rumanian Border Itombardeu.
Tho prospects of a return to th
heavy fighting in Rumania with tne
Russians the aggressors seem good.
On the Rumanian plain near Bralln
the Russians have heavily bombarde'i
the Teutonic allied positions while tiio
Germans In reprisal shelled the im-
portant Dnnuhian town of Galatz their
shells cauMng several fire.
On the northern sector of the east-
ern front near Riga the Germans
after a heavy bombardment pushed
hack the Russians In the vicinity of
the Pskoff high road.
Dally the artillery duels In Mace-
donia with the entente forces exert-
ing the greater powe are increasing
especially In tho cilrectlon of Dolran
and north of Monastlr and It Is prob-
able that at no late date the pre-
dieted allied offensive in this region
will begin.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Oct. 11. It Is
probable that Attorney-General Freel-
Ing will refile ouster proceedings In
the supreme court against Sheriff W.
H. McCullough of Tulsu county. The
attorney-general adhere to the view
that the supreme court invoked a rule
of the court In requiring him to show
cauffe why he could not get a fulr
trial In the court below before he
came to tho higher -tribunal.
Tho law would make it incumbent
upon the court according to the con-
struction of tho attorney-general to
receive the case without enforcing the
provlsionc aa contained in the court's
rule.
