ON WITNESS STAND
Lulu Bennett Davenport Negress,
Says Confession Was Made Un-
der False Representations.

The climax in the trial of Lulu Ben
nett, the negro woman for the murder
of Mrs. Sarah Mason in Davenport
last summer, was reached in the Scott
county district court today when the
defendant went on the stand in her
own behalf and repudiated the con-
fession she made to the police. She
swore it was made in Jail when it had
been represented to her that her vic
tim was not seriously hurt and was
told that the act of striking Mrs.
Mason with an AK would constitute
no more serious an offense than as.
sault ana battery. She refused alb
solutely to admit her guilt Her at
torney attempted to have the confes-
sion stricken out but the court denied
the motion. The state rested its case
yesterday afternoon and it is likely

Board OF Trade Reors.niied.

Nearly one hundred business men
given at Woodman Hall Thursday
evening for the purpose OF effecting
consolidation of the old Board of
Trade and :he new La Junta CONNER
cial Association recently organized.
II seems To be the general opinion
that LA Junta had about as much use
for Two organizations of this charac-
ter as i. would have for four brass
bands 20 supply the local demand.
and the spirit In evidence to Join
hands and form one good organiza-
| tiion was very commendable one.
Judge Miller was elected chairman
OF the meeting and A. " Mummey
secretary. Mr. Phillips made a re-
port TO the effect that committees
from both organizations had met and
examined the constitution and by
laws of the Board of Trade and the
La Junta Commercial Association
and found them practically Identical
AS the Board OF Trade was already
Incorporated, II was decided that
time would be saved and much
trouble avoided by reviyifying the
old Board OF Trade. II was decided
to rejuyenate at once by electing an
entire new set of officers. and this
was done by electing board Of d.
rectors composed Of the following:
Phillips. J. N. Lamb. c. A. Beerbohm.
C. w. Wonderly. T. J. Cook. NJ. F..
Miller and A. c. Draper. Later 1t
was recommended that NJ. F. Miller
be elected president and E. w. Has
kins secretary. these officers under
/, the bylaws being elected by the d.
rectors.
| Before the meeting adjourned the
directors of the new organization met
and elected the officers recommend
ed BY the entire membership - fol-
lows: President, NJ. F. Miller: vice
president, Matt Daimler; secretary.

The best OF feeling was in evi-
dence throughout the meeting. and
| although there was no criticism Of
the old organization. It was thought
best to recommend and advise that u

nf Trade be amended and new
name adopted. and the directors
were Instructed to utilize their ini-
