Mr.. DAVIS is DONE.
Ex-President Of Kansas Mutual

J. P. Davis. eX-president of the Kan

have been urged to go back into insur-
ance business but am out of that
business for good
The Kansas Union Life Insurance
company. which was organized by Mr.
Davis in the hope that he could trans
fer all the business OF the Kansas Mu-
tual to it, has of course ceased to exist.
1t was purchased by the National Life
with the idea that valuable rights
might be thereby obtained. About the
only thing of value which the National
Life secured was a complete list of the
policy holders of the Kansas Mutual
which was used for all it was worth in
the recent campaign for business be-
tween that company and the Illinois
Life. The National Life was able to
send out circulars to policy holders
without consultation with the trustees.
And it still has the list for future refer
ence.

London. June 1S.-Fourteen men were
killed and thirteen injured by an explo-

wich arsenal this morning. Several Of
the victims were literally blown to
Wrecked. The roof was blown off and
the interior collapsed.
The explosion is attributed to the
bursting of a shell. There were many
pathetic scenes about the gate of the
great arsenal, where thousands of rela-

cials for information.
Six additional men are missing and it
is believed they were blown to pieces.

BOARD OF AoRrcULrURE ADJoURSs.
The State Chemists Salary Increased From
$4,000 to So. 600.

The Board of Agriculture adjourned
yesterday evening, after gathering together
the business of the week, or thereabout
that they have been here in session.
After going over the budget for the A.
and NJ College, the board found it neces-
sary to cut down several items in order
to bring the expenses of the college down
to the appropriation made by the Leg
islature. One of these items was the
amCunt of advertising. The whole budget
was revised. and saving was made wher-
ever it was thought possible to do so.
The salary of DR.. b. w Kilgore, the
State Chemist, was raised by the board
from 81 800 to $4,000. This was done with
out the solicitation of DR.. Kilgore He
has been offered a great deal more IN
other lines of work, but has preferred to
remain in the service of the State. More
over, two years ago his work was greatly
increased by his being made Director Of

may have been incorrect. Witnesses may
have been interested.
The question here is if there is any evl-
dence to show generalization and de-
liberation. There is not a scintilla TO
show this. Then is the presumption so
great that it is not controverted?
In the recent cases before the Supreme
Court it was held that the deed must be
done in cold blood and with premedita-
ton. There was no such thing IN TINS
case. Nor was it murder in the second
degree, for there was reasonable lear OF
bodily harm.
Then for a few minutes Col. Argo
spoke to the facts, taking up the testl-
mony of Mr.. Simms, Mr.. Schmltz, Mr..
Hocutt and Ned Barnes He dwelt on
Mr. Simms character, how he had re-
Gently been elected third vice-presldent OF

impression. and was an unwilling witness
Mr.. Hocutt's character had been testlned
to by reliable men, even if there had
been some who had testified that he was
not truthful, they having something
against him personally.
To Ned Barnes Col. Argo paid a splen-
did tribute.
Then he finally came back again to the
law and concluded with complete sum
ming up of the entire contention of the
defense and the grounds on which the
petition should be granted.
1t was about half past II when Col Argo
concluded, and Judge Douglas announced
hat as Judge Walker and he were com
,elled to be at the Supreme Court rooms

lot be announced until today at II
