KERR'S CASE Up AGAIN
MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE RE-
SISTED BY DEFENDANT WHO
PROTESTS AGAINST FURTHER
DELAY. =

Arguments for and against the con-
t%inuance of the criminal case against
Judge William A. Kerr were. heard by
Judge F. c. Brooks today and taken
under advisement until tomorrow, when
the motion will be ruled upon. AS.
sistant County Attorney John F. Dahl in
an affidavit showed that two of the
most important witnesses for the state,
George F. Getty and William F.. Bech.
tel, could not be found by the sheriff.
He said that if they could be secured, it
was believed that they would testify
that Judge Kerr participated in a trans.
action by which DR.. j. F. Force was to
be paid a large sum of money to retire
as president of the Northwestern Life
Insurance company to make way for Mr..
Bechtel, while Judge Kerr became a di-
rector and attorney for the company. .
Judge Robert Pamison, for Mr.. Kerr,
protested vigorously against continu.
ance. His client had appeared twelve
times in court ready for trial. Under
the statutes he was entitled to a dis.
.missal of the case, but all he asked was
a speedy trial. Mr.. Jamison expressed
doubt as to the statement Of the county
attorneys office regarding the probable
testimony Of Messrs. Bechtel and Getty
and challenged Mr.. Dahl to maintain
that he head heard either Of the wit.
nesses say that his client had had a part

BEEF RETURNED
EFFECTS OF PAcKINGHoUsE CRU
SADIE SHOWN IN MINNEAPOLIS
IN CANCELLED oRDERs-PEoPLE
IN NO PANIC.

Despite the revelations Of the Neill-
Reynolds report, the people Of Mime
apolis are approaching the meat ques-
ton coolly. Thus far the effects Of the
packinghouse disclosures are not con-
sp%icuously apparent, but there are many
things pointing to an early change in
the retail meat trade.
Cooked meats, such as are served at
the restaurants, are still in full demand,
and the proprietors do not expect any
falling off in meat orders other than
that which is always incident to warm
weather: One manager summed up the
situation today as follows:
"People are thinking and talking
are thinking intelligently. I do not
such as we serve. The danger, as I
understand it, lies in the canned meats
and uncooked meats. and The people
understand this. If there were a panic
they would stop eating all kinds of
meat. I do not expect any great vege'
The canned meat counters at. the
grocery stores, however, feel a change.
Some persons have returned timed
meats ordered before the clearinghouse
revelations with comments upon the
recent disclosures. Such cases are not
numerous as yet, and sales continue
about as usual. =. -
"Canned meats are going to be
been told in regard to the way il
which they are put up" said a de
partment manager in a big downtown
store. ct can see that coming, but the
full force of the aversion is still in the

Weather Conditions.

The pressure is below normal in the
lake region, upper and middle Mississip-
pi valley, and all the region between the
Mississippi river and the Rocky noun
tains, with centers of decidedly low
barometer readings over North and
South Dakota. Attending this low pres
sure condition, there have been rains
during the past twenty-four hours in
New England, the Ohio valley, lake re-
gion and from Minnesota and Iowa
westward to the north Pacific coast.
The rains were generally light, except
for 1.56 inches at Bismarck and 1882
inches at Marquette. The low pressure
is causing a strong indraught of air
from. the gulf region toward the storm
center, with the winds varying in We
locity from six to sixteen miles per
hour in the lower Mississippi valley to
forty-four miles per hour at Huron.
These warm, moist, southerly winds
mixing with the cooler air Of the north
are expected to result in showery wealth
er in this vicinity tonight and Thurs
day, with seyere thunderstorms. The
temperatures have risen decidedly in
South Dakota, Iowa, and thence south
ward to the gulf coast, with this morn
ing's temperature above 70 degrees as
far north as central South Dakota.
Higher temperature is expected in this
vicinity tonight.
