liquors, and any one moved by hospitality to share thereof with guests, ignorant of their status, would unhesitatingly sell or give to them. As decoys in the service of government officers, what instruments of oppression they might be to men devoted to law, but ignorant of their disability. That the seller is suspected of voluntary like sales does not justify entrapping as here; for thereby a lawabiding person may as easily be ensnared. And the result proves nothing but overzeal, to put it mildly, of government officers. The practice cannot be tolerated, and a conviction for an offense so procured cannot stand." Repeal as to Oklahoma.- Since by the Enabling Act by which Oklahoma was admitted into the Union, Act Cong. June 16, 1906, ch. 3335, 34 Stat. L. 267 STATES), the state was left with jurisdiction of the introduction of intoxicating (title liquors from Oklahoma into that part of the state known as Indian Territory, and was authorized to control the sale of liquor through its own courts, this section was no longer in force in that part of Oklahoma formerly known as Indian Territory after its admission as a state so as to prevent the introduction therein of liquor from Arkansas in the interstate commerce. U. S. v. U. S. Express Co., (1910) 180 Fed. 1006. But in U. S. v. Wright, (1913) 229 U. S. 226, 33 S. Ct. 630, 57 U. S. (L. ed.) 1160, it was held that in Oklahoma this statute is still in force, at least with respect to the introduction of liquor into Indian country from points outside the state, notwithstanding the Oklahoma Enabling Act which authorized the state to legislate on the subject of the use of intoxicating liquors by the Indians therein. SEC. 2. [Inconsistent provisions repealed.] That so much of the Act of the twenty-third day of July, eighteen hundred and ninety-two, as is inconsistent with the provisions of this Act is hereby repealed. [29 Stat. L. 507.] R. S. sec. 2139 is re-enacted with amendments by Act of July 23, 1892, ch. 234, [set forth supra, p. 913, as "sec. 2139"]. The Act here given enlarges the provisions of said Act of 1892 by amplifying the definitions of the forbidden liquors and providing more specifically the classes of Indians affected. The latter portion of the first section of this Act is substantially repeated from said Act of 1892. The former Act contains provisions in regard to the procedure, which are apparently not affected by this Act. Compilers' note, 2 Supp. R. 8. 544. [SEC. 1.] [Suppression of liquor traffic-powers of officers.] the powers conferred by section twenty-one hundred and forty of the Revised Statutes upon Indian agents, and subagents, and commanding officers of military posts are hereby conferred upon the special agent of the Indian Bureau for the suppression of the liquor traffic among Indians and in the Indian country and duly authorized deputies working under his supervision. [34 Stat. L. 1017.] This is from the Indian Appropriation Act of March 1, 1907, ch. 2285. [SEC. 1.] [Sacramental wines in Indian country-powers of officers.] That hereafter it shall not be unlawful to introduce and use wines solely for sacramental purposes, under church authority, at any place within the Indian country or any Indian reservation, including the Pueblo Reservations in New Mexico: Provided, also, That the powers conferred by section seven hundred and eighty-eight of the Revised Statutes upon marshals and their deputies are hereby conferred upon the chief special officer for the suppression of the liquor traffic among Indians and duly authorized officers working under his supervision whose appointments are made or affirmed by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs or the Secretary of the Interior. [37 Stat. L. 519.] This is from the Indian Appropriation Act of Aug. 24, 1912, ch. 388. INDICTMENTS AND INFORMATIONS See CRIMINAL LAW, and consult the General Index.
