MOB CASE ooMMENoED.
Trial of BALI Stark For Murphy Place
Smashing.

The case OF the state against Bal1
Stark for malicious destruction of the.
property of Frank Murphy was COM
menced in the district court this morn
ing.
Attorney Martin appearing for Stark,
filed motion for a change of venue.
Judge Hazen overruled the application.
Then Martin made an oral motion for
continuance of the case. Judge Hazen
announced that the case had been con-
tinued once and that unless legal reasons
could be shown the case would go 10
trial The legal reasons were not made
and the case was called for trial at IL
O'Clock.
Assistant County, ttorneyFIungate ex-
amined the jury and all the jurors dis
claimed any acquaintance with Stark or
to have an opinion formed.
Attorney Martin requested a continu-
ance until 1:30 o'clock which was grant
ed.
The motion for a change of venue in
the BALI Stark case set forth the fol-
flowing as the principal reasons for the
change:
F'irst-Because the Honorable Judge z.
T. Hazen of the district court of Shaw
nee county is directly and indirectly in
terested in the result of this prosecution
Second-Because the Honorable q.
It. Hazen, judge of the district court Of
Shawnee county, Kan, is both directly
and indirectly prejudiced against the de-
PENDANT upon the charge therein male
against him.
Hazen said in his rebulze Of Mrs. Nation
that if the defendants were found guilty
''the very lightest sentence you may
hope to receive is one year in the county
jail
In passing upon the motion for
change of venue, Judge Hazen said: ia
relation to this change of venue under
our practice the party must state facts
to prove the judge is disqualified Unless
this is shown it is then the province and
the duty of the judge to overrule the
application.
1.-THE statements as to what occurred
in the court room is substantially given
except that the court did not say from
the bench that If the parties were cor
victed the least possible sentence would
be one year nthe county Jail. The court
simply expressing its views upon the
law in these cases has nothing to do
with the facts. If a judge is disqualified
to try a case because he has expressed
judges would have little to do trying
cases, because a JUICE is frequently call
ed upon before a case IS tried to decide
law of case and the fact that the judge
does decide and determine law to be one
way or other does not disqualify him.
Now. is there anything in this affidavit
to show that the judge is prejudiced
against this defendant and can not give
him a fair trial? As a matter of fact I
don't know this defendant. The fact
that the judge may have well defined
does not disqualify him from sitting
am free to admit that have well defin-
ed notions of the law in this case but
have no feeling for or against the de-
fendant from any personal reasons and
could not have for don't know him..

NEARLY UNANIMOUS.
Railroad Bill Goes Through House
With Only Eight Negative Votes.

-
BY a vote of 81 to the railroad bill
was passed in the house this morning.
All but a few of the minority voted with
the majority for the bill, because there
is no law now. and one Is needed, prin-
cipal1y. This was the chief idea. brought
out IN the explanation of votes
Babb started 1t by saying that the bill
would please many people because it
was a step toward public ownership-the
real and only panacea for all ills. Buck
- entered a vigorous protest against the
bin because the minority had not been
allowed the slightest voice in the making
of the bill. and it did not represent either
what their constituents wanted. nor even
the Republicans own rank and file.
Bucxlin voted against it. therefore, Davis
of Bourbon supported the bill, because as
it was there is no needed railroad law at
present. Mantey said the law bad
all the way through. OsWeiler swallowed
it because of the need of some law while
this was far from satisfactory to him.
Stavely, of Usage was the only Repubn-
can to explain He said the bill was
not all that could be desired. but this
was the only hope for railroad legisla-
ton this session.
The vote on the bill was as follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Adams of Butler. Adams
of Meade. Anderson, Babb, Bangs. Bean,
