various European grain exchanges, has
written a letter to President Roosevelt
urging the adoption by the mex con-

The letter states that unless some

The letter of the Corn Trade asso-

Mark Davis, a special agent of the De-

has been making an exhaustive in

the American grain trade in London
and other European markets. Mr.
Davis reports that the trade is suffer

Interesting and lively, resulting in the
amendment being voted down.
The time of debate was restricted to
four minutes, wllich was filled to the
brim with sharp. crisp arguments by
Aired Livengood and Radford Rigsby
for the amendment and Arthur Nor
gan against it. The former pointed out
that the glee club was an honorable
Organization, representing the college
and doing much for it, For these rea-
sons they thought the emblem of honor
should be granted. Morgan showed
that the passage Of the amendment
meant the changing of the basis or
which emblems had always been
granted from competition to work and
that this might later include organiza-
| tions entirely undesirable.
The vote was taken by roll call. a
two thirds majority being necessary
| to its passage. The amendment was
Overwhelmingly defeated.

AS a high and low hurdler, broad

Since his graduation, Murphy has been

D|SM|SsES CASE
AGAINST O|MM|1
JUDGE HUFFMAN DECIDES WAL
LA WALLA MAN COMMITTED
NO CRIME.

In the justice court this morning c..
E. Dimmit, accused by S. E. Carr of
obtaining money under false pretenses,
was discharged as the evidence sub
mitted by the prosecution did not show
that the complaint was sustained.
| The only witness examined was S. E.
Carr, who said that Mr.. Dimmitt had
borrowed money of him, making a
statement of all his Indebtedness. After
this he said he found that the bank
of Umasville, Mo-, held a note of $4,000
against the defendant. In cross exam
ination Carr admitted that this had
happened two years ago and that he
had not prosecuted Mr.. Dimmit be-
cause he wanted to see if he could get
his money out of him.
He further admitted that more than
a year after the discovery of the note
| that the assets of Mr.. Dimmit were
something like $4,000, while his liza
bilities were but $4,000 He said his
bank had taken the defendants ac-
count and loaned him $4,000 after the
Baker Boyer bank had asked him to
cut down his loan because it was in
excess of the state laws. The loan as
made by the Union Savings bank at
that time was half of it's capital stock.
| The defense submitted no evidence,
the attorneys, RAIDER & Barker
Iarguing the case on the evidence of
the prosecution. In the argument they
brought out the fact that although
Carr had known this two years, he had
not prosecuted Mr.. Dimmit On his
own statement he had been waiting
until the. case was settled before he
| prosecuted. Had he secured his money
he admitted that he would not have
brought this case in court. Further,
the complainant admitted that just be-
fore he forced Mr.. Dimmit into bank
duptcy ne had offered to a merchant
in the city, who was about to buy the
stock in the Golden Rule a guarantee
that this $4,000 note would never be
brought against the stock, as it was
perfectly good

the case briefly for the prosecution.
