Washington, D. C., Sept. 2.-(Spe- cial.) al.)-Representative Jenkins of Wis consin, Chairman of the House Judi ciary Committee, who has been beaten at the Republican primaries for nom- ination is one of the men labor or ganization people announced months ago they intended to defeat.
 If they could not accomplish 1t at the primary they declared they would nail him at the regular election. This and other results are believed here to indicate clearly that the labor vote is certainly swinging against the Re publican party In accordance with the advice of Samuel Golnpers and other high officials of the American Feder- alton of Labor.
 Jenkins. like LittIefield of Maine, strongly opposed the injunction bill demanded by laboring men. Little. field, the labor people assert, was driven out of Congress by them. They say they have numerous other Re- publicans on their list.

The point was raised in the case
of henry Weber under Indictment
for embezzlement the attorneys for
the defense making their case on the
fact that the indictment reads, ere
ceiving lawful mony on the United
States when the defendant only re-
ceived a check for the amount nam
ed, $4,000. They claim that the
check could not be termed lawful
money" even though it was later cash
ed by the defendant. The effort of
the defense has been to have the in
dictment squashed but the decision of
Judge Langan overrules all further
attempts on this line.
This is the first time such a point
of law has been decided in this state
and the attorneys for Weber state
that they will take it to the Supreme
Court in an effort to have the decis-
ion of the lower court overruled.
