GRAND FORKS, N. D., Feb. 7.-Mr
Cochrane continued his argument for the
defense in the West case today, and
at O'Clock he announced that he would
reserve two or three points until morn
ing, and it is not likely that there will
be more than time for Mr.. Bangs to
finish for the state The courts charge
will be from 1900 to 5000 words, and

and toward the left. BY the use Of
diagram drawn on a mammoth sheet of
paper, he argued that with the bullet
travelling at this angle from the hori-
zental, If the pistol was held at the high
est point indicated by any witness, the
men could not have stood more than
eight feet apart, if MaSch stood erect,
and that the lower the gun was held
the closer the men must have been to-
gether. If March was at greater dis
tanee he must have been bent forward,
therefore advancing. The path of the
bullet from right to left, when March
stood directly facing West, showed that
March must have had his right foot ad-
vanced. The elaboration of this theory

jury.
The morning session was marked by
the scoring given P. Mcdonnell, who
swore that March did not kick. Mr.. Nc
Donnell was given such trimming as
has seldom been administered in a court
room. The Elks who had testified against
West also came in for their share of the
eloquence of the pleader. The roasting
of Mcdonnell furnished an element of
comedy which tickled the crowd, and
there were numerous outbursts of laugh
ter.
When court convened for the afternoon
session, Judge Fisk announced that he
would permit no more such demonstra-
tions, and that if one occurred he would
clear the court room and conduct the
remainder Of the trial behind closed
doors The crowd was orderly this after
noon.
The jury has given evidence of greater
interest since the arguments began, the
eloquence of the attorneys being very
welcome after the long examination Of
witnesses.

who contend that the enactment of a law
So bad would make the people feel their
mistake and amend the constitution.
Amend the constitution first, either by
sending the amendment to the people or
through a constitutional convention The
present law is bad and the bankers suffer
most. The tax commissioners admit that
the bankers pay the heaviest share Of
the tax, but we would rather get along
with the evil we have, until the laws can
be made right, than fly to an evil which
means ruin to commerce.

KING ATTACKED

Special to The Globe.

LONDON, Feb. z-Anarchy has broken
out In novel and sensational way.
1t has made its dreaded appearance In
the geological gardens at Athens. Not
only that, but as in most cases, royalty
has been the target for malicious vim

The offender in the case is a huge os-
trich, and its intended vistim is the
king of the HelIenes. Had it not been
for timely assistance throne might have
become vacant and the courts of Europe
might be thrown into mourning. King
George paid a visit the other day to the
gardens. One Of the ostriches took a
special dislike to the king. After utter
ing a peculiar shrek it made dive at
the aged monarch, but he lodged just
in time to avoid vicious kick, and the
director of the gardens was almost felled
by the Onrush of the enraged bird.
1t is said that the king at this critical
juncture made for the entrance of the
inclosure. The director had a severe
battle with the ostrich, and only by the
use Of heavy stick was he able to beat
off the feathered anarchist and escape.

from those bonds is $4,000. If the law

DELAY OF ACTION.

after the constitution has been so amend
ed that equitable tax laws may be en-

He strenuously objected to the enact

not be good law. He quoted the commits

that the constitution is an Masquerade
obstacle" to equitable tax legislation.
Mr. Merrill said:
"I am in entire sympathy with the de-
sire to secure fair tax laws l have no
sympathy for the tax dodger. I believe
every man should pay full and honest
tax, just as L believe that he should pay
an honest grocery bill. But we ought to
have tax laws that the commission itself
can approve. We should be all willing
to work together.
''In it's report the commission repeated
ly states that, because of lack of time
and familiarity with the tax laws, it is
unable to frame fair law. 1t also says
the constitution is an insurable obstacle
to proper legislation and that the consti-

Mp1tlng the collection of any fee for

passed.
Senator Turner as Critic.
Mr. Lodge then called up the Philip
pine revenue bill. Mr.. Turner criticised
the bill, saying that it proceeded on the
theory that we have international and
constitutional dominion and sovereignty
over the Philippines; but, arguing the
case from that standpoint, he said it
was in conflict with the clause Of the
constitution which requires uniformity
in the laying of taxes, duties and i'm
ports
Taking up the condition Of the Flip

of concealment and duplicity he charged,
which has been practiced for the last
three years with reference to our con-
dust in the Philippine islands, has been
only too well known at the capital, but
he hoped we at last had the truth. But
whether we have or not, we have more
than enough to bring the blush of shame
to every American who loves his country
and who would see it regulate it's con-
duct, not on lines of false benevolenee
and philanthropy, but on high and
straight principles of honor and justice
and fair dealing.

BANKERS OPPOSE TAX CODE
If Enacted Into Law It Would Work Serious Hard

Institutions,
THE LABOR UNIONS ARE ALSO AGAINST IT

''The enaetment of an income tax
law will solve the troublesome
question of taxation. I cannot even
guess the class of men the proposed
tax code, if enacted, Will not in
Jure."-H. p. Upham, President of the
First National Bank, ST. Paul.
The house committee on taxes and tax
laws yesterday morning listened to argu-
ments against the proposed tax code pre-
sented by representatives of the Bank
ers' association and the Trades and La
Dor assemblies of st. Paul and Duluth
The bankers were represented by A. E.
Merrill, Of Minneapolis, and H. P. Up
ham, of st. Paul The speakers for the
labor men were John Gieske, of st. Paul
and Donald O'NeilI, of Duluth.
The arguments presented by the rep
resentatives of the banking interests
were exhaustive and presented in a
manner which defied the more or less
unskillful efforts of some of the
friends" of the bill to confuse the
speakers. Both Mr. Upham and Mr.
Merrill were subjected to a running fire
of questions, many of which, notably
those put by Representative James Pet
erson, of Minneapolis, were ridiculous in
the extreme, and apparently calculated
to create laughter, rather than real in
terest in the subject or taxation. Mr.
Peterson posed as the advocate of the
farmers rights, until Mr.. Upham man
aged to make him admit that he knew
nothing about the farmers or their i'm
mediate interests.
Mr.. Upham, who was the last speaker,
was before the committee for an hour
He asserted and covered his assertions
with logical arguments that not only
will the farmers fail to receive any bene-
fits from the enactment or the proposed
tax code, but that the jobbers and manu-
facturers will be driven out of business
or out Of the state. Its effect on the
banking business, he said, will inevitably
drive money for loans out of the state
and deprive the small merchant and job
Der of his credit money, which he en-
ploys in his business, in the heavier pur-
chasing season. He said in part:

4 NEW MANSION.
One of Gov. McsWeeneys Forth
coming Recommendations.

One of the recommendations the
governor Will make to the legislature
in his last message will be that new
executive mansion be built. 1t IS adj
mitted by everybody familiar with
conditions that the present mansion
has long since passed beyond its use
for such a purpose, and that for the
sake of the health, not to refer to the
comfort OF the occupants, something
ought to be done about it. Gov. Nc
Sweeney has given the question carefal
consi deration, and he believes a new
mansion can be erected in every way
modern, suitable and convenient with
out a cent Of cost TO the state. 1t Is
estimated that the present building
and grounds would bring about so,
Geo, and that is not mere guess work,
for some of the local capitalists who
have been sounded on the matter,
think such a sum would be brought.
Not only that, but there is almost a
certainty that if it is put on the mar
ket there would be no trouble aboat
getting a purchaser. That being ac
complished, the plan is to secure two
acres from the South Carolina college
on Sumter street on the lot now cvn-
ed by that Institution on which is
the old mess hail, some unsightly COW
sheds and a turnip patch. The col
lege might be given so, 600 OF the
purchase price for this lot, and leave
$50, 900 with which to build mansion
OF modern character and arranged
for the special purpose Of being the
residence Of the chief executive. This
would help the college and the State,
and besides that put the present
mansion property on the tax lists.
This whole question has been quietly
agitated for several years but this
Will be the first positive and definite
plan conceived or presented to the
