Arguments on Questions of Law
Occupy Entire Time in Ma
gle Case at Cambridge.
EFFORT TO LIMIT TESTIMONY
Defendants Attorneys Attempt to Pre-
vent Admission of Evidence as to
Intent to Murder.

Cambridge, Ill, Dec. 12-(Special)
The Nagle case is progressing very
slowly, and SO far almost the entire
time has been devoted to arguments of
points of law brought up by the attor-
neys for the defendant. Yesterday af-
ternoon, after many hours had been
spent in arguing the motion by Adair
Peasants and H. A Weld to limit the
proof TO the burglary charge and elm
mate the element of assault, Judge
Graves overruled the motion, and
James Lewis was placed on the stand
as the first witness for the state. He
had given but little testimony, how
ever, when the attorneys for the de-
Tense raised an objection to his testi-
flying to anything tending to show a
felonious intent on Nagle's part. The
entire time up TO this noon was spent in
argument on this point.
Attempt to Limit State.
The attorneys for the defense are at
tempting to limit the prosecution in
their proof on the grounds of the in
tent having been adjudicated in the
trial on the robbery charge. The state
is allowed to present evidence showing
Nagle's intentions after the time of the
alleged robbery. but is permitted TO
give evidence only as to his actions
previous to the robbery. The defense
seeks to prevent any evidence what
ever that will show the intent to COM
nit murder
Woman Is In Court.
Josephine Collett is now here to tes-
tify against Nagle, and other witnesses
in the court room waiting to testify
are Coroner L. V. Eckhart and former
Deputy Sheriff E. E. Reynolds of Rock
Island, and A. F. Brown of Fairport,
Iowa. The woman will be placed on
the stand last, and will probably be
the main witness for the state.

THE LlNoUIsT's PARADISE.
People Who Can Not Speak English
Have Their Own Troubles In
New York.

"A man who cannot speak English
is at great disadvantage in city
like New York, especially II he wants
to find his way about the CITY," said
an old street car conductor, relates the
World. "He cannot make himself un-
derstood and he seems to mistrust the
motives of every one. To argue with
him is absolutely useless. II you start
to he will delay your car and create
a disturbance. The only thing for us
to do is to get rid of him in the easiest
way we can and that is where we dis.
play intelligence.
For example, q Foreigner Greek,
I think he was-got on my Madison
avenue car one day and wanted to
transfer at Thirty-fourth street. Trans
fers are given by a man who stands
on the street corner there, and I told
the man to get his transfer on the
street, but he couldn't understand what
l meant. He waited until the car had
passed his street and then demanded
transfer. couldn't give him one that
would do him any good, and SO told
him, but he Immediately got excited.
I saw an argument coming, so I
stopped the car and handed him
transfer. It would do him no good,
I knew, but he took it, perfectly salts.
fed, and left the car How he made
out afterward I don't know, but I
avoided trouble and my car went ahead

THE INTELLECTUAL DRINKS.

"Tea and coffee are drugs-drugs

this stimulation is not perceptible.
Hence tea and coffee are excellent
brain spurs. For a little while they
do, actually, make US more intelligent
than we naturally are. That is why
they ere SO popular. 1t is why
we chemists call them intellectual
drinks.
alcohol, whether it be taken in the
form of champagne or beer or whisky.
is not an Intellectual drink, but the
opposite. From the beginning alcohol
stupefies instead Of enlivening the
brain. But 1t makes us talk! II 1t
were not enlivening, how should it
make us talk? Alas. alcohol makes
us talk, but we say under its influ.
ence the things we should not. Alec.
b0l deadens the inhibitory. the pro.
hibitory centers of the brain. It stu.
pefies the brain muscle which knows
what things should not be told. And
hence. while drinking we talk, but oh,

blush in the cold gray light of the
morning after to remember what we
