WEST CHESTER, Pa, Jan. 30.-Fol-
lowing the important testimony Of Mrs.
Lewis, mothe rof Irwin A. Lewis. and
the noncommittal testimony given by
Lewis wife yesterday other evidence
was submitted at the trial yesterday
tending to establish the Irresponsible
ity Of the defendant who is charged
with the murder Of little Mary New
lin.
Miss Cora E. Elliott. teacher in the
Landenberg schools, testified that r.
win Lewis had been a pupil in her
school in the winters Of 1897 and 1898;
that he was nervous and eXcitable; he
was slow TO acquire knowledge, and
she had TO give him special attention;
he became more nervous, and IL be-
came more difficult for him to learn;
he spent the two years in one class
and could not take the prescribed eX-
animation; ne did not advance as rap
idly or do as we'll as the other boys
of his age; his capacity was limited,
and he acquired knowledge slowly and
made little progress.
Silly Grin On Face.
Mrs. Emmerine Naylor an aunt of
Irwin Lewis and sister OF Harry Lewis,
testified that She lived in Wilmington,
Del, but had frequent opportunity Of
seeing Irwin; but he did not seem like
other children, as there seemed 10 be
something the matter with his mind;
there was something lacking; there had
been a change for the worse in the
past year or so. She had seen him
with a silly grin on his face.
Mr. Pierce: what do you mean by
silly grln?"
Mrs. Naylor: We'll, not an intel

A large express business is done with
all the neighboring cities and it is diff
cult to prevent that without congress
sional legislation.
"At first the internal revenue officials
would not give the state officers any
assistance and would secretly issue
licenses to sell liquor, but congress has
since passed an act making the work
ings of the internal bureau public, SO
that the prosecuting officers always
know who have licenses to sell liquor
in the state and are able to watch them
If congress would enact two other laws
it would assist materially in the en-
forcement Of prohibition.
"There is no poverty in Kansas; no
community in the history of the
world was ever better off. Up to the
recent financial furry the deposits in
man, woman and child in the state,
and the later returns show an aver
age of $50 per capita in the banks
Since then the farmers have sold
more of their crops and there is now
more money in the state than there
ever was before.
"Mr Coburn, commissioner of agri-
culture for our state, has recently is
sued a statement showing that the
value of the crops Of Kansas for 1907
was S66897,749 and that the value OF
the live stock on our farms is $463,-
648,6O6. This is an increase from
1906 of $39,313.739.
1.-THE i-prohibitionists point to
the slow growth of population as one
of the effects of prohibition. The in
crease has been only about 2k per
cent, but the reason is entirely differ
ent from that attributed. During the
last ten years hundreds of thousands
of people have left Kansas Tor otner
parts of the country-at least $4,000
have gone from my county alone TO
Oklahoma, California and other states.

KING FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR,
Former Assistant City Engineer En-
tiers the Race

Willard E. King for five years as
sistant city engineer of Topeka has
announced his candidacy for the Of
flee of county surveyor subject to the
Republican primaries. The office of
county surveyor more directly con-
Germs the people residing outside of
the limits of the city of Topeka, but
it behooves the people generally in
both city and country to see that no
mistakes are made in selecting
nominee for this office. Mr.. King is
qualified both by education and prac-
teal experience to discharge the du-
ties of the office acceptably. During
his period of service for the city, Mr..
King had extensive experience with
many public Improvements and he is
at the present time resident engineer
for the Topeka and Southwestern
railway. Previously and for several
years he had been associated with the
engineering departments of the Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe and of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
railways. Mr.. King was born in To-
peka and has lived here all of his
life. He is well known both in the
city and county and his friends be-
lieve that he will make a capable and
faithful officer.

progressive than those in which the
law has not been enforced. 1 believe
that Kansas Is better state under
prohibition than it would have been
under high license or local option or
any other system of regulations. At
least it is not worse, and prohibition
certainly has had marked effect in
diminishing crime and poverty.
Il cannot speak personally of any
other city except Topeka, for that is
my home, and there know by person
al experience that the criminal dock
cts of our courts We're always full prior
to the enforcement of the prohibition
law, and the county attorneys office
was kept continuously busy preparing
for criminal prosecutions. The first
term of court when was county at
torney there were 100 criminal indict-
ments besides a large number of in
formations. But as the saloons were
closed and the liquor traffic was sup
gradually decreased until the last term
of court while I was in office there was
not single Indictment And 1 believe
the record in other counties where the
prohibition law has been enforced is
similar to that in Shawnee county.
1.-THE iails and poorhouses through
out the state are usually vacant. II
the sheriff has any boarders they are
in for horse stealing or for other Of
whisky, and the only people you find
in the pOorhouSe are helpless old men
and women or cripples, who have no
other means of support and are not
brought there because those who
should take care of them are spending
their money for liquor.
"Since that time the law has been
very generally enforced in Topeka
continued Senator Curtis, land there
have been no saloons, but it has been
evaded more or less all the time, and
the detectives have been kept busy
watching suspicious people. There. has
been good deal of drug store business.
Men have had blind tigers, in rooms Of
private houses, with closets to which
their customers could go and help
themselves Grocers and other store
keepers have had speaking tubes and
lifts by which liquor could be brought
up from the cellar or down from room

resubmission of the constitutional
amendment to the people. But 1
was pledged to enforce the law, and
after my election 1 began preparations
to do so. There were then eighty
seven saloons in the city of Topeka 1t
had been customary to prosecute the
little offenders for obvious reasons,
but 1 undertook to convict the strong
est men and the grand jury returned
10S indd ctments the first term of court
after I was sworn in. The first man
convicted was the richest and most
prominent liquor dealer in Topeka. He
was found guilty on seven counts by
a jury composed of five prohibitionists
and seven men who were outspoken
"Reminiscences, but were, like the
rest of our people, in favor Of the en-
forcement of all laws. We tried
seventeen or eighteen of the more
conspicuous saloon-keepers and con-
victed every one of them. Then the
smaller ones all came in and plead
guilty. The court was compelled to
suspend sentences because the Jail
was 50 full that it would not hold any
more.
I'VE want first, law to define the
rights of the states with reference to
violations of their local laws; to
authorize them to confiscate liquor
by interstate commerce. There should
be legislation making liquor subject
to the laws and authorities of a state
as soon as it crosses the line. 1t is
question whether such a law would
be constitutional, but the states
should, at least, be given an oppor-
tunity to test its constitutionality. In
the second place, the government
should not issue licenses authorizing
the citizens of a state to violate its
statutes; authorizing the INTO sell Ii
quor in states where its sale is pro-
hibited by the local laws. 1t would
seem to me that both these PROPOSE
tons are reasonable and just and
have myself, with other members, in
troduced bills embodying them in
both the senate and house of repre-
sentatives. Thus far they have not
received much attention, but the sub
ject is becoming more and more i'm
portant because of the enactment of
prohibitory laws through the south
ern states. Formerly liquor selling
