It is not generally realized how very

The opposition TO Chamberlain adj
mission to the Senate really represents
opposition to the Oregon primary plan
Of designating Senator's: and the under

is In q considerable part based on the

OF course public men do not for pub

grounds. They urge higher reasons;
but in private the expression has been
INDUCED frequently that it is necessary

OF course the Oregon plan is not I'm

PLEADS NOT GUILTY
TO MURDER CHARGE
John Kothiaftis Is Arraigned
for Killing in Third Dis
triCt Court.

After his attorney. Major s. a, King
had made a strenuous effort to have
the information squashed in the case
against him without success, John
Kothiaftis was arraigncd before Judge
Lewis in the district court on Monday
and entered n plea Of not guilty TO the
charge Of murder in the first degree.
The defendant is charged with murder
ing Peter Getis, by shooting. at Blng.
ham on December 23 last, and when he
appeared in court yesterday to enter his
plea a motion was made to quash the
information and a demurrer TO tho in
formation was also argued.
The motion 10 quash was based on
the ground that the court had no jmrls-
diction over the person of the defend
ant because no complaint was ever is
sued against him by the committing
magistrate which legally charged him
with murder in the first degree and
consequently he never had prellmi-
nary hearing upon the charge. The de-
muTror WAS based on the ground that
the information was not specific enough
as TO the facts and circumstances CON
stituting the offense attempted TO be
charged.
After hearing the arguments, Judge
Lewis denied the action and overruled
the demurrer. whereupon the defendant
pleaded not guilty. His attorneys then
made a motion that he be admitted IT,
