T el r JURY [N THE DAMAGE SUIT FINDS FOR DEFENGANT [Continued from First Page.] wouldn’t represent people who did not have spunk enough to get angry in such a case as this. «If Dr. Koch had given a true answer when Alfred saw him there would not have been this case. We have only taken his word that he did not have the antitoxin at that time. This family would rather have Oscar back, they would rather have the completed household. They are only asking ! damages to protect themselves and the people of the state against such men. “They would call us all liars but you can see that Delia is a cultured girl. The mother never showed a ‘yellow streak’ when she was on the stand. If Ruth was confused it was owing to the unintelligable questions put to her by counsel. Alfred is a young man, the manager of a lum- ber yard there.” He told of Alfred’s visits to Dr. Koch. “You have heard witnesses tell how Mrs. Johnson thanked the others. What was the condition of that woman? Have any of you gentlemen had a child die? Have you seen it lying in the white casket ready for burial, with your heart nearly bursting with grief and neighbors come and comfort you? The woman might have thanked them then. Butshe did not know that Dr. Koch knew the actual truth ‘on Friday and failed to administer the only thing that would saye the life of her son.” The speaker went on with his arraignment of the defendant, telling the jury that® Dr. Koch is narrow between the eyes and that peo- ple that way are inclined to be “bull-headed.” “Another funny thing about this calling list. Dr. Koch said he had been at the John- son home and when he returned to the hospital he exposed Mr. Dade to diphtheria. Then he gave Dade an immunizing dose and charged him $4 when he himself had been the one to expose Mr. Dade. That is the kind ofa ‘critter’ you have got to deal with.” He spoke of the discrepencies in the doctor’s reports and more recommendations for larger doses. He said there were several matters he wished to call the atten- tion of the jury to in closing. He grew exceedingly sarcastic in refer- ence to the local physicians who testified on the stand .in behalf of the defendant and declared that he thought Dr. Osborn was the best physician who was on the stand, and hoped to see Dr. Osborn at the head of the medical profession in northern Minnssota within ten read years. The speaker closed in ask- ing for a verdict of $5,000 for the After a short recess Judge Stanton charged the jury in a very fair and able manner, thanking the jurors for their close attention and declaring that this, one of the most important cases ever tried in Beltrami county, had been tried in an exceptionally able manner by the attorneys on both sides. The jury retired at 6:10 o’clock. At the conclusion of the Koch trial, the jury which has listened to the case for the past two weeks was discharged from the case and excused until Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock. At the convening of court this morning, the case of J. H. Olson et al vs. Frank Brimet al was called. This action involved the purchase of asawmill, near Three Island lake. A verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $300 and interest at the rate of 8 per cent per annum, from November 1, 1908, to date, after which court adjourned until this afternoon.

S. Inui, a Japanese orator, addressed the largest audience of the season.

I SOUTHERN PRESS BITTER on the cruiser West Virginia. having reached the age of retircment, and Rear Admiral Urlel Sebree, comman der of the Second division of the fleet took command of the whole, raising Number of Editorials Read Accusing Member of Congress of “Waving the Bloody Shirt” and Containing|" Numerous Uncomplimentary Char. acterizations—Cannon Decides Af fair Not a Question of Privilege. ‘Washington, May 18.—“An ass of the first magnitude;” “perhaps one of Bherman’s bums, who robbed defense- less men'and women;” “contemptible little whelp;” “a political nonentity from Ohilo;” “a pale faced luminary;" “a pusillanimous pigmy from Ohio.’ These were some of the character- izations of Mr. Hollingsworth of Ohia in editorials which he had read in the house of representatives as the basis #f a question of privilege affecting his reselution recently offered protesting agalnst the portrait of Jefferson Davis on the silver service to be presented to the battleship Mississippi. These editorials accused him of “waving the bloody shirt” and appeared in the Daily Clarion Ledger of Jackson, Miss., April 30; the Southern Sen- tinel, Ripley, Miss, May 6; the Shreveport Caucasian, Shreveport, La., May 4, and one other paper, name not gliven. The reading of the editortals caused & commotion and at times moved the members to great laughter. Speaker Called on to Decide. Finally Messrs. Bartlett of Georgia and Fitzgerald of New York objected to further “lumbering up the records” and demanded that the speaker rule on the question of privilege. In an elaborate opinion Speaker Cannon held that Mr. Hollingsworth had not been attacked in his repre- sentative capacity and he was not permitted to proceed further. Later Mr. Hollingsworth sought unanimous consent first to print a speech on the subject or else to ad- dress the house for thirty minutes. Mr. Harrison of New York object- ed, whereupon Mr. Hollingsworth ‘wanted to tell him why the objection ‘was made. “The chair cannot tell,” said the speaker suavely, “what moved the gentleman to object, because he is not a mind reader.” This sally convulsed the house with laughter. Interest in the proceedings was heightened by the fact that Mr. Har- rison’s father, Burton Harrison, was secretary to Jefferson Davis during four years of the war. QUORUM 1S ON HAND EARLY Senate Session Begins at Ten in the Morning. ‘Washington, May 18.—Fifty-seven senators answered to their names when the senate met at 10 o’clock, relieving doubt as to the ability of that body to obtain a quorum early in the day to consider the tariff bill. “I am not a protectionist in spots,” sald Mr. Sutherland of Utah in be- ginning an address in support of the tarift bill as reported by the finance committee and in opposition to the addition of an income tax provision. Any effort, he said, to impose taxes upon objects that states tax is bound to result in confusion or double tax- ation. Taking that view he regarded the income tax as not a proper means for raising revenue for the general government. Mr. Sutherland discussed various questions relating to what he claims were the unconstitutional features of the income tax and was at times in- terrupted by Senators Bailey, Borah, Cummins, Owen and Heyburn. BECAUSE OF POOR HEALTH Civil Service Commissioner Williams Resigns. Washington, May 18.—James T. ‘Williams, Jr., tendered to President Taft his resignation as a civil service commissioner.

CRIME TO DRINK INTOXICANTS Drastic Law Goes Into Effect in Kansas. Topeka, Kan., May 18.—From now on it is a crime to drink Intoxicating liquor even from your own bottle in the state of Kansas. The law, which is said to be the most drastic in ex- istence, was passed by the last legis- lature in an endeavor to supplement the prohibition law, vlolations of which have been notorfous.

P - “ “I proph’sied he’d make a l.lvl.ng, Mr. Hobart said, speaking of a New York painter who spent a summer at his farm, “because he knew what he could do, little as ’twas, and didn’t try to fly too high. “Yes,” Mr. Hobart continued, with a thoughtful smile, “you couldn’t get bim to attempt any foolish flights. All that summer he set out in the hen yard, painting hens, or else out back o' the barn, painting pigs. And when I said to him, ‘Look a-here, when Abe Fowler comes to paint the house I'll get him to show you how and let you take a hack at the side end, where ‘twon’t show so much and allow it on your board,’ he just shook his head and smiled that kind o’ gentle, sorrow- ful smile o’ his, and says he: ‘I couldn’t think of it, Mr. Hobart. I should just ruin the looks o’ the house. I’ll ke$) to the pigs and the hens, for I know my limitations.” “Well, twas a real relief to me, for I suppose likely he would have botch- ed the job consid’able.
