II is amusing to contemplate that
there are many people who claim to
be widely read and extensively versed
in the current knowledge of the day
who believed that Carl Hagenbeck.
the greatest trainer of wild animals
in the world and whose Old World
agencies for years supplied the wild
beast markets of the earth, was only
running a dog and pony show and
that Wallace, who has operated big
circus for many years. before the
\ Hagenbeck-W Wallace combination was
made. only had to offer small dog
and pony show. Yet this. along with
an effort to shift all the RESPONSE
bility on City Treasurer Chapman,
made up the weak defense offered by
certain city officials and the morning
yellow for the breaking of a contract
and the sudden demand for more Ii
cense money. II is TO laugh.
To prevent the construction of the
Moffatt road into Salt Lake. ii is
reported that the Gould and Harri-

was made by Harvey II. Pratt, when
the session was resumed.
Mr. Pratt. after explaining the diff
fe"ent degrees of murder and laying
stress on the question of reasonable
doubt and the presumption of inno-
cencc until man is proven guilty,
stated that DR.. William Il. Councilman
of the Harvard Medical school would
testify for the defence that Mrs. Jor-
dams throat was cut after death and
that the wound in her throat had moth
ing to do with causing her death. An
other expert, DR.. Edwin Dwight of
Boston. Mr.. Pratt said. would tell the
jury tEat Mrs. Jordan's death was not
caused by blows on the head; that i
fracture of the skull is of no import
ance unless the brain is affected and
that such was not the case in this in
stance.
The claim of the government that
the murder was premedtated, Mr..
Pratt said had not yet been shown.
He claimed that neither deliberation,
reconciliation nor atrocity had been
proven. While speaking on this point
he Was interrupted by District Attor-
ney Higgins, who inquired Of the court
if the opening arguments We're not be-
ing unduly prolonged. but Mr. Pratt
was permitted to proceed.
81 shall ask the court" he said "to
instruct you that where no positive or
de finite cause of death has been shown,
the verdict must be in the second de-
gree"

of jordan noting his birth in Indian
apolis % years ago and stating that he
did not act like other boys; that he
was an invalid for some years through
an injury to his head: that he was
backward in his studies; that he was
subject to fits in his younger days and
that a cousin committed suicide.
The climax of Mr.. Pratts opening
came with his announcement that Jor-
dan was suffering not only at the time
of death of his wife but at the present
time with epileptic insanity. a disease
according to MI Pratt which renders
person incapable of knowing what
ne is doing or being responsible for his
action. Mr. Pratt closed few minutes
later and introduced Dr.. VIM. T. COun-
cilnar of the Harvard Medical school
as the first witness.
DR.. Councilman said that he was un-
able to determine from an cxamina-
ton of the body of Mrs. Jordan the
exact cause of death. He found no
traces of strangulation. said that the
marks on the head We're not sufficient.
With regard to the cut on the throat
lie could not determine whether it was
made before or after death. He found
no traces OF blood in the Jordan home,
The governments theory regarding
the cut in the throat was indicated in
the orosa-eXamination when DR.. Coun-
Gilman was asked whether he would
look for blood if the head and Shout
ders were held over a tub and the
throat cut while in that position DR.
Councilman said that he would not.

CALL TO SEE THE PRESIDENT
DAUGHTERS OF AMERICAN REV.
OLUTION AT WHITE HOUSE.

The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton are now ready to get down to busi-
ness. They have been feted, wined and
dined ever since their arrival here. but
the crowning glory occurred yesterday
afternoon. when President and Mrs. Taft
received them at the White House with
greater pomp than ever before. 1T is
stated to have been the largest reception
at the White House in the history of the
national society. Fully 5000 ladies passed
down the line and were received by the
President and Mrs Taft in the two hours
that the reception was in progress The
White House looked very attractive in its
simple floral decoration, largely of pink
carnations, no special attempt having
been made for effect. The President stood
at the entrance to the blue room to greet
the guests, and Mrs. Taft. charmingly
gowned in pale blue satin with rich en-
broidery of gold. stood at the right of the
President and gave her hand to every
guest with a smile for each and to many
whom she recognized she gave special
word of welcome. The President was par
ticularly cordial to each guest, and, recog-
nizing familiar names at times. gave a
pleasant word indicating that recognition.
The presentations were made by Col.
Spencer Cosby and Capt. Archibald Butt.
Mrs Mclean stood opposite Mrs. Taft
and named the Daughters who, as they
passed in line. shook hands with Mrs. Taft
first and then with the president gen.
