to the police the author of the attempt,
a man dressed in 6sherman's clothes.
His companion drew a knife, but the
police quickly disarmed him. The po-
lice had much difficulty in protecting
the man who had fired the shots from

TO TEST THE LAW.
Question Concerning Absentees Vot-
ing Is Before Court.

The law passed by the legislature last
winter which grew out of the fact that
Frank Grimes had to- swear in his vote
in Wichita county last winter while he
was state treasurer, is to be tested in
the supreme court in a suit filed today
on an appeal from the district court of
Miami county.
This law provides that persons en-
ployed by the state and away from their
homes neither gain nor lose residences
by reason of such employment. 1t
means that all persons having public
employment shall return to their former
homes to vote.
In the municipal election at Osawat-
omie last spring about hundred en-
ployes of the Osawatomie asylum who
had come from other points were turn
ed down by the judges of election in the
First ward of Osawatomie and were not
allowed to vote under the provisions of
this law H A. Jackson, who was a
candidate for&councilman, alleges that
he would have been elected had these
hundred votes been allowed to be cast,
while the face of the returns showed the
election of Charles Rutland Before
the vote was canvassed Jackson brought
suit against Rutland and the canvass
ing board, asking that he be declared
elected and that the board be enjoined
from giving the certificate of election to
Rutland. A temporary injunction was
granted in the lower court and Ruh-
lands attorneys demurred to the petit
ton. The demurrer was overruled by

ants despite Nine. Humbert's constant
Interruptions.
During Judge Bonnet's searching in
terrogatio of her husband. Nine. Therese
dramatically exclaimed: Monsieur, the
president: You are clearly showing by
your manner that you are against us.
You should disguise your feelings and
try to appear impartial
The spectators were greatly amused
at this Outburst. The judge ordered
Nine Humbert to deSiSt. but she again
shouted: You are continually showing
your prejudice"
Frederic Humbert testified lengthily
regarding the affairs of the Rente
Viaegre, the insurance concern which
the Humberts started and in the crash
! of which thousands of poor people lost
| all their savings. He maintained that
the operations were conducted in good
faith and claimed that public prejudice
aroused against the Humbert family
brought about the failure ofthe concern.
He emphatically denied the judge s

residence of the Humberts in the Ave

ECHO FROM THE SOUTH
Gov. Terrell Endorses Presi-

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 10.-Governor Ter
rell today endorsed the contents of Pres
ident Roosevelts letter to Governor Dur
bin, of Indiana. in regard to the recent
action of Governor Durbin to prevent
lynchings in that state Governor Ter
rell today gave the following signed
statement to the Associated Press:
Il think President Roosevelt is on the
right line and I am in hearty accord
with the view he expressed. The majesty
of the law should be upheld. but at the
same time there should be prompt and
speedy trial of the offenders in that
crime which most frequently excites the
anger of mobs and leads to lynchinEs,
and the punishment should not be de-
layed by technicalities
No law however strictly enforced.
VIII absolutely stop lynchings for GRIM
inal assault, hut speedy trials tend to
lessen the number and practically serve
as a preventive of lynchings for other
offenses.
1t is interesting in this connection to
note that the numerous lynchings in the
north and northwest of late have
brought forth such an expression from
the president while the number OF them
in the south has been so few within the
same period as to attract little or no
attention"
