Flam- mang, and County Judges Campbell and Reeder, returned Tuesday from Harrisonville where they had been as witnesses before the Cass County circuit court in the case of the Bates and Cass County Drainage District against Bates county. On account of the supposed bene- fit to the public roads in Deer Creek, Grand River and Mingo townships, in the north part of the county, the district had assessed against Bates county the sum of $5,300. They had also assessed againt the county $8,000 the estimated cost of bridges made necessary by the ditch in these town- ships. Bates county contended that Bates county was not liable for the benefit to the public roads in the drainage district and the district should pay for the bridges and not the county. Highway Engineer J. Flammang testified that the material for the bridges would cost in the neighbor- hood. of $20,000, not counting any- thing for the erection. The case was tried before Judge Calvird, sitting as a special judge, who rendered a verdict in favor of the county. 2 Silvers & Dawson, of this city, rep- resented Bates county. The drain- age ditch was represented by Glenn & Glenn, Harrisonville; Walter Owen, Clinton;.and D. C. Barnett,| 0! Harrisonville. 3 Soldiers Killed by Lightning Bolt. St. Louis, Mo.

WILSON WINS FOR HOOVER The President Also Refused to Be. Hampered by a Congressional Committee on War Ex- penditures. Washington, July 30—Conferees on the Food Control Bill late today agreed to President Wilson's demand for one food administrator instead of a board of three, as proposed by the Senate. The individual administrator will not be subject to confirmation. He has announced he will appoint Herbert G. Hoover. President Wilson ‘also has déclared again his opposition to amendments to the Food Control Bill providing for the creation of a congressional conimittee on expenditures in the conduct of the war. The President’s position was made clear today to Senator Chamberlain, one of the conferees pn the bill. The President considers the committee on conduct of the war a reflection on himself and insisted there can be no question of the greater value of an individual food administrator over an administrative board of three. Senator Chamberlain left the White House convinced that unless the con- ferees eliminate those provisions the bill must go back to the Senate and House for further action. The pos- sibility that the President might veto the measure if they were left im it was widely discussed in Congress, After hearing, of the President’s position some of the Senate con- ferees believed it possible that they would yield on the food administra- tion board and adopt the House plan for an individual administrator, but did not believe the Senate members would yield on the congressional committee. Court ee: Unwritten Law. Atlanta, Ga. uly 28—The “un- written law” has been given standing in a court of justice and recognized from the hgnch as a justifiable cause vj for homicide. In the trial of George Gowan, charged with the slaying of Herbert Jones, Judge Ben Hill, in his charge to the jury, dealt at length on the “unwritten law” plea by the young slayer, in which he held that Gowan would be guilty of murder if he had slain Jones as a matter of revenge because of past attentions to Mrs. Gowan, but that he would be con- sidered justified and should be ac- qititted if Jones was continuing these attentions at the time of the tragedy and Gowan had resorted to the pistol to prevent their-continuance. “Gowan would have had no right to kill Jones as a mere matter of re- venge, merely to appease his rage be- cause of past acts of misconduct on the part of Jones, no matter how bad they might have been,” explained Judge Hill. “If it should be shown, however, that Jones was persisting in his attentions to Gowan's wife, and that Gowan slew him to end this conduct, then the slayer would be acting within his rights, and should be acquitted.” Gowan was acquitted. Butler Band Pleased Them. The Nevada Herald has the follow- ing to say of the Butler band which played at Radio Springs a week ago last Sunday: The Springs management was high- ly pleased with the attendance and the Butler band simply captivated ev- erybody. It is composed of a fine lot of musicians and they made a grand appearance in their handsome uniforms. The full program was car- tied out in the evening, despite the fain, although the inclement weather kept many away from the evening session. MOVE THE KEET TRIAL The Kidnapping Case Sent to Web- ster County. Springfield, Mo., July 30.—After hearing testimony of. three witnesses that bias and prejudice existing here would” prevent the defendants from ining a fair trial in Green Coun- ty, Judge B. G. Thurman in the crim- inal court this morning ordered the cases of all persons accused in the Keet and other kidnapping conspir- acies in Springfield transferred to the Webster County circuit court at Marshfield. Their trials were set for the second Monday in September be- fore Judge C. H. Skinker. The order was made at a hearing for a change of venue, application for which was filed by counsel for the prisoners. Throughout the brief proceedings all the defendants, even the. stolid Claude Piersol, who three times was strung up by a mob, at Stockton,
