OKLAHOMA CITY.-By a decision rendered by ! F °«tball Tickets
the State Supreme Court of Oklahoma late Thurs- j For Three Games Go
day, Lieutenant-Governor M. E. Trapp, became Act
ing-Governor of Oklahoma. The decision of the court
made permanent a writ of prehibition against Gov
ernor Walton and Judge Tom G. Chambers which
restrains them from interfering with the assumption
of office by the Lieutenant-Governor.
The court announced its decision orally after a
brief conference following an afternoon of argument.
The decision, it was explained, made the writ effec
tive against J. C. Walton as an individual and not as
governor. Judge Chambers was enjoined in his offi
cial capacity as judge. The vole of the court was
five to four.
The decision sustains a resolution adopted by the
state senate suspending Governor Waiton during his
impeachment trial, and nullifies an injunction ob
tained by the governor in Judge Chambers’ court
