Recommendation That He Be
Given the Limit Sentence

A verdict of maRslaughter was re-
turned yesterday afternoon by the jury
that tried Peter Palassou on charge
of numbering his wife with a. pitch
fork The jury was out but - minutes.
An unusual recommendation was at
tached to the sentence. the jury asking
that Palassou be given the highest
penalty allowed by law. Ten years
Imprisonment is the limit for man
slaughter. Palassou will be sentenced
June 5.
After the jury had been out half an
hour they returned to court and asked
the Judge to inform them what are the

gree. This the judge refused TO do
on the ground that il would be re-
versible error.
The evidence showed that on August

on the san Burno road, struck his
wife on the head with a pitchfork.
She died in llel bed about FIVE hours

BREEZY WARFARE
BETWEEN LAWYERS
Attorneys in Friedman Will Com
test Hurl Angry Words
at Each Other
Rumpus Started by Counsel for
Various Claimants Accusing
One of the Executors

The julius Friedman estate. which
for nine years. during which time more
than 100 attorneys. including Abe Ruef.
have earned fee out of IT, was the
occasion of a violent rumpus in Judge
Grahams court yesterday. r. E. Hough-
ton. attorney for a number of eiaim-
ants against the estate, started the
shindy by making the charge that l. NJ
Friedberg, one of the executors, had
failed to account for all the money
that had come into his hands
1T is not truei excitedly exclaimed
Edmond Tauszky, attorney for Fried
berg. who is a travelling salesman, at
present in Colorado.
Bring him here. and put him on the
stand. and we will show it is true, "
retorted Houghton.
You can't do it, You cant do it,
shouted Tauszky banging the table
with his fist.
You don't dare to bring him here, .
said Houghton.
"HUMBUG AND FIDDLEsTICks"
ssHumbug. F'iddlesticks!" blurted
Tauszky in high dudgeon
The-sum which Houghton asserted
Frriedberg had not accounted for is S640.
Houghton refused to give any particu-
lars.
Wallace A. Wise. attorney for the
Hebrew Benevolent asylum. one of the
principal benefieiaries under the will,
at this stage riade some sarcastic re-
marks at Houghton's expense.
I'VE would like to know what is un-
derneath this scum he said. Il want
you to understand that your gray hairs
protect YOU" added Wise. turning to
Houghton. whose head is crowned with
a magnificent shock of silver hair.
The other day you attacked Judge
Slack, and he told you he could take
care of himself | also can take care
upon your age.
SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNT
The matter before the court was the
settlement of the sixth account of the
executors. Edward r. I-ande and I. NJ
Friedberg Judge Graham finally shut
off the wrangling by continuing the
matter two weeks and directing that
Friedberg should then be present.
Friedman who died in January 1900,
left the great bulk of his estate to
charities. stating in his will that he
knew of no kin who had any legal
right to claim a share of his estate

tant Changes In the Illinois
Game Law.

A synopsis of the revised Illinois
game law sent out by Game Commits
sioner John A. Wheeler contains data
that it is we'll for all owners and users
of guns to bear. in mind, especially at
this time of year, which is the closed
season for nearly all kinds of game.
The only game animals that may be
killed now are rabbits, which are not
protected at any time, and squirrels.
on which the open season is from June
l to Nov. 15 f"T'H'''H
All wild birds and their nests and
eggs are protected, except the English
sparrow. crow, blackbird, chicken
hawk and blue jay, all of which may
be killed at any time.
Prairie chickens and grouse are pro-
tected till July l, 1911, and wild tur-
key, pheasants and cartridges until
July 1, 1913.
One of the most important changes
made by the legislature was the short
ening of the open season on quail,
making it from Nov 10 to Dec. 10. 1t
formerly closed Dec. 90. The limit on
the number of quail that may be killed
in single day has been cut to II.

LIQUOR BILL KILLED.

The Salt Lake papers accord to Ru-
dolph Kuchler credit for the defeat of
all liquor legislation. He made it i'm
possible for Governor Spry to sign the
Badger bill by so amending the bill
that it was filled with unconstltutlon-
al provisions and was made inoper-
ative.
Weber county's senator is the hero
of the hour among those who stood
with the liquor interests. but he is
being roundly censured by the tenn
perance element.
The Salt Lake Herald says:
The veto of this measure by the gov
ernor was made easy by the shrewd
and careful loading of the measure b.
Senator Rudolph Kuchler of Weber
county Senator Kuchler was the
chairman of the committee on manu-
factures and commerce. and leJ the
fight against prohibition, and also
against radical liquor legislation He
introduced several amendments TO the
bAils nAhNu On llNlA lUNC MOulu DIOD-
ably have rendered the measure IN.
operative If lit had been enacted into
law
One of these amendments. intro
duced ostensibly to make Salt Lake
and Ogden units in the local option
elections, was a prime factor in the
final execution of the bill This amend
ment provided that the provisions of
the act should be operative in cities
of more than 10000 inhabitants only
when the legal voters of such cities
shall have voted In favor of prohibit
ton" The joker In the amendment
was that 1t did not say "a majority
of the voters of such cities" Under a
strict construction, the vote for pro-
hibition must be unanimous. Then.
too, 1t said "the provisions OF this act {"
so that the regulation measures as ap-
piled to cities of more than 1900 in
habitants were not operative unless
the voters should declare unanimously
In favor Of prohibition, and then, Of
course. there would be no need of reg
ulatlon features.
Another feature OF the bill which
doubtless will be used to explain the
governors action In yetoing the meas
ure was the fact that no appropriation
was made for carrying out the pro-
visions OF the act. The bill provided
for state inspectors OF the liquor traf-
fic to travel through the state. as a
sort of state secret service. No ap-
proprlatlon was made for the salaries
of these inspectors. nor for their tray
cling expenses.
For crafty legislative work, Rudolph
Kuchler stands pre-emlnent To him,
more than any other man, are those
