The state attorney, ~Aile fully con-
WINGED that Meyer murdered Mrs. Vo-
gel, admitted the ir.dequacy of his
proof and asked the jury to convict
Meyer of robbery only. Meyer put on
a bold front throughout his trial and
declared himself innocent of the MUIR
der. His story was thai he found
Mrs. Vogel dead when he returned to
Valdungen after visit to Cassel. The
rope around the neck was tied to
bedpost. he said and apparently she
committed suicide. He explained that
he feared to report the case to the po-
lice because suspicion might fasten on
him. He therefore threw the body
into a trunk and lived in the house
with his grewsome presence for nine
months. He then shipped the trunk
to Frankfort. Owing to the advanced
stage of decomposition of the body it
was impossible for experts to deter
mine the cause of Mrs Vogel's death.

points in the discussion. He spoke
more than an hour
Caustic criticism of President
RooseveIt's position on the Japanese
question prefaced Senator Rayner's
discussion in the senate of the consti.
tutional questioss involved. II the
military and civil forces of tire federal
government are to be used by the
president, Rayner said, it becomes
very important to know the exact
power of the president in the matter.
Because" he added, 1T is quite a
serious matter in view of the great
calamity that has lately befalIen the
city of Sar Francisco for the presi
dent to contemplate the bombarding
of the city at this time, and to declare
war against the boards of county
school trustees of California, if there
is no jurisdiction or pretext upon
which such ferocious proceedings can
be undertaken. If he can take pos
session of the public schools of Cali
fornia, and compel the state to admit
to them japanese students contrary to
the laws of California, he could with
equal propriety send us an amend
ment to the Santa Domingo treaty
and demand the admission of the ne
gro children of Santo Domingo into
the white schools of South Carolina,
or of any state Of the Union. Of
course, if the people have come to the
conclusion that everything the presi-
dent recommends is right, then there
is hardly any use in contrasting any
of his propositions, and instead of
comforting upon him the power to give
congress informs alton of the state of
the Union, we might confer upon him
the function of furnishing his own
peculiar views upon the entire state
of the universe and recommending
any improvements or changes in the
general plan of creation that he may
deem expedient from the cradle to the
grave" Senator Rayne proposed, he
said, to plant himself on these two
propositions: That there is no provi-
sion whatever in the treaty with
Japan that confers the right that the
president speaks of or gives to the
government of Japan the privileges 1t
claims in connection with the public
school system of California, or of any
other state; if there was such a pro-
vision in this state or any treaty con-
ferring the right. the treaty would be
void without any authority on the part
of the United States to make it, and in
violation of the constitution and the
treaty making power of the govern
ment.
