WANTED, DEVICE
TO ELIMINATE
FILIBUSTERS

Washington, May 25.-Effective fill
busters in the house will be impossible
hereafter if suggestion that has just
been made is put into effect. 1t is
proposed that future votes in the
house shall be registered by some me-
chanical device, individual members
registering their decision on given
measure by pressing a button. Since
the house Democrats began their OBJ
structive tactics early in April more
than a month has been consumed in
roll calls. 1t takes from rs to 40 min
utes to call the roll in the house. I'm
der the constitution the ayes and noes
may be demanded on every affirmative
proposition. In exercising this consti-
tutional prerogative the Democrats
have worked overtime. As a result
every legislative expedient had to be
adopted by the Republicans to expe-
dite business. Although short cuts
were taken whenever possible, it was
still within the power of the minority
to have many roll calls each day.
Therefore the Republicans are talking
about putting in a mechanical device
of some sort whereby votes may be
cast by pressing a button, thus elimin-
.ating the tedious and nerve wraCking
process Of calling of 383 names every
time the ayes and noes are demanded.

RIBS BROKEN BY
FALL BUT MAN
DIDN'T KNOW IT

Richard r. Dawson, superintendent
of H. A. Smiths horseshOeing shop, in
East Fifth street, met with a painful
accident Saturday, but he did not dis
cover the extent of his injuries until
Monday, when he was compelled to
leave his work and consult q physic-
ian. He is of a robust build and con-
tinued his work until told by the ply
sician to take a rest. He was engaged
in cleaning up the shop Saturday
with one Of the other men and used
the hose to wash out the place. This
made the floor slippery and while
passing a heavy anvil Dawson slipped
and struck against the anvil with
such force that several Of his ribs were
broken.

COURT NEWS

Harvey A. Boerstler has fled suit IN
common pleas court, naming Charles
w. Mclaughlin as defendant, in
which he asks for the return of
piano and promissory note for s27.50
or It's equivalent. The plaintiff
claims that he agreed to sell the de-
fendant certain piano In return for
a certain lot in the village of Ken
more and also agreed to give the de-
fondant S27.50 in addition to the in
strument, the lot being valued at $400.
The deal was made, according to the
plaintiff, but he later learned that
the deed transferred to him lot other
than the one he claims had been
agreed on. He also claims that when
he discovered this fact he made a
demand for the return of the piano
and the promissory note and offered
a reconveyance of the realty in ques-
ton. He claims that the defendant
refused to be party to this attempt
at settlement. AS a result of the posi-
tion taken by the defendant the plain
tiff asks that the court set aside the
transaction and restore to him the
piaro and the note given or a judg-
meHt for the amount against the de-
fendant. Attorneys Tibbals, Raymond
and Ream represent the plaintiff.

Taylor Jury Discharged.

Aspen.-The jury in the Taylor muir
der case has been discharged, its mem
bers having been unable to agree. The
jury at 10 O'Clock Monday morning
asked the court for further instruc
tions concerning the testimony intro
duced during the trial, and members
then stated that they believed they
would be able to reach an agreement,
but after retiring and discussing the
additional instructions they did not
succeed in doing 50. Their first bal
lot showed eight for murder in the first
degree and four for acquittal. After
long discussion one more went to the
side of those believing Taylor guilty,
making the vote nine to three.
