~ turned, however. on the disarmament of
Europe. as to which the ear spoke with
the utmost ardor, saying that he wanted a
tangible result
His majesty suggested that the powers
might bind themselves not to increase their
armament for i've years, at the end of
which they might meet again to decide
upon future action. They might also settle
their attitude in the event of menace or
prospective hostilities. He suggested ;is
an example of possible action, that the
recent Fashoda incident might have been
referred by England to the United States
and by France to Russia.
II these failed to agree. there might have
been recourse 10 an arbitrator say the
emperor of Austria. In any case DELAY

ID. Duggins walked close up before the
judge and said: IF it please the court
the defendant in this case is charged with
one of the gravest crimes on our statutes.
The statute under which he is indicted says
If he is guilty he may be punished with
death; but, If the court please, the attor-
ney for the defendant in this case wants
to enter a plea of guilty.
The crowded courtroom was almost
breathless. The lawyer went on and asked
for mercy. He said Kirby was insane, and
made one of the most touching talks ever
heard. The judge took down his Bible and
read passage. and then sentenced Elliate
Kirby to the penitentiary for twenty years
The sheriff took the prisoner out by a rear

CELEBRATED CASE ON.
OverruIed in McGreyv. Watson

TOPEKA. Nov. 2s.-(Special) The case
OF McGrew. Watson & Watson against
Wyandotte county to recover 10000 attor-
neys fees in the celebrated road certificate
case came up before the federal court to-
day on plea in abatement filed by the
defense. In that plea the county claimed
that the federal court had no jurisdiction
because McGrew and the Watson boys had
not moved out of the state in good faith.
Judge Williams refused to entertain any
such plea
That is a mere incident said Judge
Williams, and the plaintiffs are entitled TO
Judgment on the pleadings as the case
now stands. The question of jurisdiction
can come up on the regular trial. / will
give the defense three days in which to

The attorneys for the county concluded
not to take three days in which to pre-
pare the answer. They held a conference
at the noon hour to-day and prepared it.
Ii was filed this afternoon. In it the county
denies that the attorneys were ever en-
ployed to handle the road certificate cases.
This seems rather strange in the face OF
the fact that McGrew. Watson & Watson
handled the county's end of the litigation
for over seven years without being molest-
ed by the county board. The plaintiffs will
