THE DISTRICT COURT.
Ed Gaines Murder Case Gets Change
Of Venue to Tishomingo.

The attention of the district court
was occupied all day yesterday in the
Emma Gaines murder case, and the
case was given to the jury as court
adjourned for the day.
w. B. Johnson had made short
speech in the forenoon, followed by
Colonel Russell for the defendant and
A c. Crucc closing for the govern
ment. Here the case was given TO the
Jury and the court adjourned until
this morning.
When court opened this morning
the Jury had not come to decision III
the Emma Gaines case, and the Judge
called the Ed Gaines murder case.
The government announced ready
but X. T.. Lee. for the defendant, asked
the court for change OF venue TO
Tishomingo on the ground that owing
TO the great prejudice now existing in
and around Ardmore against the de-
PENDANT. they did not believe they
could get competent jury here In
substantiation of these allegations Mr..
zee had the sworn testimony Of sew
eral witnesses, one of whom had
testified for the government in the
Emma Gaines case.
After the court WAS fully advised in
the premises he deemed it wise and
proper to grant the change OF venue
to Tishomingo, and the 7th Of next
March is the day set for it in that
court A special venire Of fifty men
had been secured for this case.
Other business was transacted as
-ollows:
Mum LAttrell, larceny; continued by
government.
Jesse G.. Hartsell, assault to kill
reduced to assault. Defendant plead
ed guilty and was fined $25.
e.. Dee Jackson, false pretense. bond
forfeited and alias warrant issued
d. r. Jackson, false pretense; bond
forfeited and alias warrant ordered.
Dee Jackson and oPne Poe, larceny;
bond of Jackson forfeited.
After the Ed Gaines case had been
scheduled 20 Tishomingo the court
called many cases and finally found
both sides ready in the Jesse Littrell
case, in which he is charged with
stealing horses about three years age
out on the bayou from w. b. Shelton
A jury was secured and the Emma
Gaines jury was still out. We now
have two juries tied up. Cruce &

CHAIRMAN AND PRINCIPAL p
SPEAKER AT THE KANT
CONFEDERATION.

BERKELEY. Feb. Pin commemo-
ration, of the one hundredth ami
versary of the death of Emmanuel Kant.
the. Philosophical Union of the Uni
versity of California held special exer
cises this evening in the philosophy
building at the university. The rain
and counter attractions kept many
away from the meeting but quite a
number of those interested in philo
sophical discussions gathered to hear
the address of the evening by Professor
George H Howison on ''Kants Legacy
to Philosophy"
Professor Howison was introduced by
Professor Charles Mills Gayley, who
acted as chairman. Professor Gayley
addressed himself briefly in opening the
meeting TO a review of Kant's life.
Kant was born in Germany in 1924 the
son of a saddler Of Scotch descent. He
died in 1904, one of the greatest and
most influential German metaphy
sicians. He studied philosophy, mathe-
matics, physics, theology and other
subjects at the university of his native
town of Koenigsberg and after getting
his degree lectured. His early life was
a struggle for recognition. In 1852 he
was offered the chair of poetry at
Koenigsberg, but declined it because he
felt himself unfit for the office. The
next year he accepted a place as as
sistant librarian at a salary of 62
thalers and though he had become well
known and esteemed for his scholarship
did not obtain a professorship until
% frrI.
he did not marry and did not travel.
Professor Howison reviewed Kant's
philosophy and it's influence upon
philosophical students since his death.
According to Professor Howison Kants
philosophy developed slowly. His views
did not seem to take anything like final
form until he wrote his greatest work
in 1871. BY this time he had effected in
philosophy what he called a Copernican
revolution. our suggestion" Kant
said. is similar to that of Copernicus
in astronomy, who, finding it impossible
to explain the movements Of the
heavenly bodies on the supposition
that they turned around the specta-
tor. tried whether he might not succeed
better by supposing the spectator to
revolve and the stars TO remain at
rest"
Kant's ethics are frequently called
rigoristic, that is. it refuses to recognize
the moral value of natural inclinations.
His services in the theory of science
were probably as great as in the realm
of philosophy. He anticipated Laplace
in the view that the solar system has
developed from primitive gaseous ma
terial with rotary motion.

IDENTIFY nerved for the ordeal which he

1T is right that this court should
know that this defendant has made ali
restitution in his power" said Mr..
Dunno. He has turned over to the
proper persons something over $4,000 in
real estate and several hundred dol
lars in money. He has done this vol
UNFAIRLY and has stripped himself OF
everything in the way of property.
More than that. he has not stood in
the way of the law. He has entered

prosecution. He has done everything
that could be done or could be expected
from a man in his position"
In passing sentence upon McKOwen.
Judge Hall said:

1t is probable that McKOwen Will be
