A story told Of Lord Holt who was
lord chief justice OF England in the
eighteenth century, shows what dead.
ly enemy to wild superstition a sense
OF fact may be. A man presented hiA,-
self TO Lord Holt and said:
"A spirit came to me from the other
world and told me that in your next
case you must enter a plea of mol.

Lord Holt looked at the man a mo-

"And do you believe that the messen-

We'll you tell your messenger If he
comes again that he should have sent

prosecutes, and If the spirit knew any
thing about the English law he would

The latest information from Wash
ington is that senators who saw the
president today came away from the
White House giving expression to an
intimation that an extra session of
congress is becoming more probable
unless an agreement Is reached on the
statehood bill. or rather an agreement
that the statehood bin shall not be
placed as a rider upon the appropria-
tion bills. One senator stated that the
outlook for an extra session would be
greatly increased If there was not
some solution today of the statehood
snarl. More emphatic than ever be.

respect are without equlyocation. They
are that the combination bill win be
fought to the last ditch, and that II IL
should finally pass the senate the
chances are that the president would
veto it because of the statehood rider.
A veto OF the bill because OF the rider
