DEMURRER IS 0VERRO[D.
Decision of Judge Rockaday in the
Butler Bribery Case at Co
lumbis, Missouri.
HE SAYS THE INDICTMENT MUST STAND.
The Next Play OF the Defense 10
Keep the Case From Jury WI"
Be Motion for Continuance on
Account of Absence of Material
Witnesses.

Columbia, Mo-, Oct. 16.-The eXpec-
tation of an immediate decision in
the Butler trial brought an overflow
ing and punctual crowd to the court
house Wednesday morning. Witnesses
on both sides who had fled the tedious
session of Tuesday, Jostled the towns
people for standing room in the mar
row corridors.
When Judge Hockaday took his seat
at eight o'clock the court was filled
as it was not ON either of the proceed
ing days.
Buffers rugged smile showed conf
dence that his lawyers had won their
fight to keep his case from the jury.
As he met Attorney William NJ. Will
Jams. of Boonville, whose argument,
Tuesday, was an especially able one,
he grasped his hand heartily.
Il am Just as we'll satisfied, said
Col. Butler, even if the case is not
settled on this demurrer.
In other words, | want to see this
matter fought to the finish.
Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk,
accompanied by his assistants. {. Or
rick Bishop and Andrew {. Maroney,
and Prosecuting Attorney J. II. Muir
ry. arrived together.
Mr.. Folk was smiling and self-com-
placent.
Shortly after court had convened
Judge Hockaday announced his deci-
sion oyerruling the defense,s demur-
rer TO the Indictment.
The demurrer to the Indictment as
filed by Buffers attorneys set out
that the board of health had no au-
thority To pass upon the garbage con-
tract, and that consequently if Butler
attempted to bride DR. Merrell or
Chapman, of the board, he commit
/ led no crime, as they We're not legally
authorized to vote upon the contract.
Buffers counsel took the position
i that the garbage contract as made
by he board of health was Illegal, as
it should nave been let by the board
of public improvements.
The court. however. took an entire
/ " different view of il.
Counsel for the defendant wouldnot
comment on Judge Hockaday's rul-
ing. except To say that tine ovcrruling
of the demurrer was a big surprise
to them.
j Mr.. Folk said: From the beginning.
was confident ef this ruling. The
state is ready for trial, and We were
anxious 10 proceed at once.
After the reading of the decision
+ the attorneys for the defense pre-
pared TO ask for continuance. The
basis of the request will be the alb
sence of witnesses.
In his application for continue
ance, filed with Judge Hockaday at
+ 11:50 Wednesday morning. Edward
Butler attrms that the absence of
John w. Mccarthy, witness for the
+ defense, makes is impossible for him
+ safely To go to trial at this term Of
court Mccarthy is an employee of the
+ Excelsior Hauling and Transfer Co,
! and acted frequently as driver of But
j ter's famous storm buggy on occa-
/ sions when the chieftain had business

MORE NARSH|PS WANTED
Minister Bowen Cables the State
Department From the Vene-
zuelan Capital.
THE SITUATION THERE Is CRITICAL.
Ii l.. Feared the Revolutionary
Forces May Enter Caracas In
duIRe In Rioting and Piiiage,
which would BE Attended by
Danger 10 Foreigners.

Washington, Oct. 16.-United States
Minister Bowen, at Caracas, has ca
bled the state department, asking
that one or. perhaps, two more war
ships be sent to reinforce the gun
boat Marietta at La Guayra in view
of the present critical situation
which has arisen at the Venezuelan
capital.
Some time ago, when President
Castro left his capital, Minister
Bowen expressed To the state depart
ment his fears that an occupation of
the capital by the revolutionary
forces would result in rioting and
pilIage, and be attended with great
dangers to unprotected Foreigners.
Such situation, il is inferred here,
is again imminent. The nearest war
vessel 10 the scene of trouble is the
gunboat Montgomery. which left
Hayti about the first of this month
for Santa Marta. near the mouth of
the Magdalena river. in Colombia, TO
look into the troubled situation.
Owing to the interruptions to ca
Bile communication. the navy depart
ment has received no report from the
Montgomery since she left Hayti. and
it is feared that even if her services
at Santa Marta are not now needed
she can not be reached with dispatch.
The Panther is still at Colon and
the Cincinnati has just arrived in
