YOU MUST CALL
FOR YOUR OWN OOOZEl
Oklahoma City, Aug. 28.—There Is
some prospect again for a test of
the new prohibition law which for-
bids delivery of intoxicating liquors
by carriers to persons presenting
shipper's orders, but requires deliv-
ery only to the consignee, and that
after the consignee has signed what
railroad men have termed "the jag
book."
Until rec^itly Oklahoma City was
the only point where the shippers'
order delivery was recognized; now,
however, the system has been chang-
ed) and there is a rigid application
of the state law made requiring the
consignee to appear in person and
get his stuff.
Prospect of the test appears in the
threat of outside liquor dealers to
sue the carriers and compel them to
deliver on orders as the federal iaw
permits, which, if sustained, will be
fatal to one of the chief features of
the Oklahoma statute.

In alarming quantities since the
death of John W. Gates, head of
the Texas company which was said
to have purchased a large interest in
the Pearson's oil field in Mexico at
a cost of about $25,000,000.. Gates
