Innocence.

Special to The Globe.
OWATONNA, Mimi, June 1.-THE
theory of the defense was made known
this afternoon in the Charles and Hen
ry Nelson murder trail when the state
rested and Attorney Leach addressed
the jury. He commended that the muir
der Of Harry Krier was to be charged
to others than the Nelson brothers.
He stated that positive proof would be
offered by witnesses that Charles and
Henry Nelson were on their way home
at the time the crime is supposed to
have been committed. The testimony
of the defense is now being taken.
Earlier in the day the cross examin-
alton of Christina Jasperson, the COM
panion of the Nelson's, was completed.
She held to the details of her story
and made an excellent witness for the
state. Two girls. and IL years of
age, testified to finding Krier's watch
chain at the spot he was killed sew
eral days after. Albert Krier. a broth
er of the murdered man. was the next
witness, his evidence corroborating
that Of young Sutton, the states star
witness.
Other witnesses were Charles Boehr-
laut, who was in the saloon when the
alleged murderers heard Krier say he
was about to set out to pay Glaeser
his rent money and John Burzinski.
who walked up the track a way with
Krier and told him how a short cut
might be made to Glaeser's place. Two
others testified of seeing Krier going up
the track.

KENTUCKY WOMAN is

Wife of Witness i'm Jett-White
Trial Defies WOuId-Be
Murderers.

JACKSON, KY, June 17-Argu-t
ments in the case of Curtis Jett and
IhomaS White, on trial for the muir
der of j. B. Marcum, were not con-
Guided when court adjourned late to-
night and the case will not go to the
jury until tomorrow noon.
Two courts were in session again to-
day. That of City Judge CardWeu fol-
lowed the, arson case. One faction has
controlled the county and the other the
town offices. Owing to assassina tons
and intimidations, the latter had be-
come almost defunct. Judge CardWeIli
one of the survivors of his side, had not
held city court for. eighteen months
until martial law was recently declar-i
ed. Like others in his depleted fac
ton, he had been a prisoner in his own
home and unable to get to his office
Meantime Town Marshal Cockrill was
killed and his place was never filed.
Inc troops now make arrests and it
was to hear the cases of such arrests
that the local court was resumed. The
men who assaulted witnesses yester-
day after they had appeared before the
grand jury in the arson cases were
brought before Judge CardwelI by the
guards of the provost marshal and con-
Victed. The fines and imprisonments
inflicted are said to be the first pen
altles for the violation of law here
against feudists for years.
The principal witness, B. L. Even,
today escaped with most of his fam
lily to Lexington, ninety-three miles
from Jackson. AS he has nothing to
leave behind him, he is now out Of
reckoning, but there are other wit
nesses for the prosecution who are also
thought to be in danger.
Maj. Embry Allen, who is now in
command of the troops here. today
earnestly advised Mrs. B. L. Even to
leave Jackson. She has taken an ac-
tive part in accommodating evidence
against the men who burned her hus-
bands hotel and are directly connected
with the powerful faction in Breathitt
county. Maj. Allen expressed the belief
that Mrs. Ewen's life was in danger,
notwithstanding the fact that women
and children have heretofore been
spared by assassins in Jackson. Mrs.
EWen's bravery and courage have fire.
quently been shown, especially during
the recent trials through which she has
passed, and it was but the expected
when she replied:
I will stay here until our interests
are properly protected and our CON
tracts fulfilled. If they want to kill me
they will find me here for at least a
month"
A hung jury Is expected because Of
the alleged attitude of two Of the mem
bers. AS the case draws to a close
alarm among citizens because of the
probability Of troops being withdrawn
is manifest.

Senator Hoar Addresses University of

IOWA CITY, Iowa, June 17.-Senator
George F. Hoar, Of Massachusetts. deliv-
University of Iowa today He was intro
duced by Senator Allison and the first half
OF his address was eulogy OF Mr.. Allt-
son and of Iowa. Senator Hoar con-
tinued:
I'VE have not yet learned to deal justly,
on terms of absolute equality with the
African or the Asiatic. Men like to say
that this Is white mans country, and
/ act as If it were a white mans Chris
tlanity, golden rule and justice. l be-
leve that the golden rule, the religion Of
Christ, the Declaration of Independence
the constitution Of the United States will
in Gods good time, settle this problem for
US Also In the matter of mob violence, Il
hnois and Kansas are guiltier than Mis-
sissippi. 1t was Massachusetts voice that
pronounced the late judgment of the su-
preme co9rteef the United States to the
effect that the right of 10 000, 900 of our
fellow citizens to share in the govern
ment of the republic is in the end a po-
HticaI question with which the court that
eXpounds and enforces the constitution in
all other matters has nothing to do. So
that Mr.. Chief Justice Lynch is now the
highest authority in this republic on all
judicial questions either of the civil or
political rights of the negro.
THE function of the university is. to de-
clare that the most impracticable things
in this world are the most practical; that
the greatest reality IS that which is ideal.
You may trace the career of man back
with Darwin to the monkey and the mol
lusk, but the most important force in hu-
man history is that OF which Darwin has
nothing to say-which science does not ex-
plain Beside the pedigree of the physi-
cal and animal life there is the pedigree
of the spirit-a spiritual lineage for which
the professor of biology does not account
We like to find it as we trace the descent
OF our splendid youths of 1861 from the
men and women of the Revolution, and to
trace their descent from the men and
women of the Pilgrim days in the inheri-
tance Of lineage and blood.
Let it be the office Of the university to
select from literature and science what
will be perennial and eternal, and send
out her pupils equipped with these Let
her so train her children that they Snail
feel themselves alike the companions and
competitors of the great of all time The
fate of the nation depends in the last re-
sort on individual character The great
single purpose of moral education must
be to induce the will to adhere to it's gen.
eral. permanent and deliberately conceived
purpose. in spite of motives which appeal
to it with special strength at the time
Of the choice of action, to give strength
ITO resolution which will overcome the
strength Of temptation. To teach this is
the great duty of the university The final
purpose of all scholarships, as of all

Council for Unions Contends 1t Would Re-
duce Worklngman to Slavery.
Robert Kolliner, attorney for the Trades
and Labor council, which is now fighting
an injunction asked by several electrical
contractors, says the only real point to be
settled by the court in rendering it's de-
cision is this:
Can a central labor organization control
the actions of it's own members Mr. Kol-
liner says: When court rules that you
can't control your own labor for the well
fare and upbuilding of your organization,
it is going to step too far. 1t is taking an
action which is not sustained by the
theory of our government or by the laws
as laid down by the best authorities. The
contest. If there be any, is simply between
us and non union men. The complainants.
being simply interlopers, are in no way
a party thereto and for the purposes OF
this trial case, l do not recognize them
