VERDICT NEXT WEEK.
Closing Arguments in Cooper Case
Made Today.

Nashville, Tenn, March 13.-Judge
Hart announced to the attorneys to-
day that he could not complete his
charge in the Cooper-Sharp murder
trial before Monday afternoon. This
delay is due to the failure of the at
torneys on both sides to submit in
structions. There will be consequently
no verdict before Monday night or
Tuesday.
Judge Anderson resumed his argu-
ment with a promise not to weary the
jury long.
Judge Anderson rapidly sketehed
out the main points in the event but
declared he wanted them worked
out.
"And now gentlemen" said he. 81
am going to quit. The responsibility
which has rested on me is passing to
you. You know how handicapped we
have been by a failure of the state to
offer any theory at all. But there is
one fact in this case which cannot be
controverted. And that is that SEN
ator Carmack drew a revolver first
and fired first. 1t cannot be. disputed
that Robin fired only when he had to.
1 feel safe in the result, gentlemen,
and 1 leave it to you"
Attorney General McCarn began his
closing argument at once. He said:
"It becomes my duty and my pleas
=
case. I said this case and I do not
mean the case of Robert Love Taylor
against E. w. Carmack. I do not in
tend to appeal to prejudice or defame
the dead as has been done in this
case.
No Time for SparroWs.
''I have been assailed and de-
nounced," said the speaker, "but
thank God. the same tongue which
wagged against me also assailed
Mrs Eastman and I am proud that
Washington assailed me too.
haven't any time to shoot at sparrows-
'"They accuse me of abusing the de-
PENDANTS or unjustly prosecuting
them. 1 am responsible for the con-
duct of this office and all the devils
in hell cannot deter me from my duty
and they say the state has no theory.
Well. what of it? When your old dad
took YOU out to lick you, did you ever
know what this theory was? And did
he ask for yours? No. He just de-
cided from the proof that you were
guilty and lit into you.
"That's what we are doing. we
have no theory, gentlemen, we just
have the proof. They criticize US
for not producing Mrs. Burch: Cen
tIemen we produced their maid. We
produced their stenographer, we pro-
duced their friends and every witness
we needed. We had to go for them
among their friends"

SHOT IN THE FACE.
William Norman Seriously Wounded
by Fred Collins.

Fred Collins, bad negro big
enough to whip three ordinary men,
last night shot Will Norman, mere
boy in an alteration over a woman in
the house at 924 Kansas avenue.
Collins has served a term of two
and a half years in the penitentiary
for attempted arson. He has lived for
many years with the woman in the
case, Laura Copeland, at her house
where the shooting occurred. She has
tired of him now, however, and would
rather have Norman around. it seems.
Sunday night Collins called and
abused the woman so she sent for a
policeman who took Collins away.
Monday morning he came again and
again a policeman took him away.
Tuesday he wrote a note for her to
come down to his place and she sent
word that there was no answer. Thurs
day he came to the door as she was
washing clothes and tried to get in but
she told him to go away and he did.
Last night he returned again and
found Norman there.
Collins became very angry and
abusive. Norman objected and a
wordy battle began which resulted in
Collins stepping up to Norman for a
them and Collins drew a revolver,
shooting past the woman, the bullet
tearing the teeth and part of Nor
mans lower jaw off. Then Collins
turned to the Copeland woman and
knocked her down by blow in the
face and fed. Norman was taken to
the Lee drug store, doped up, and
sent home.
The police arrived and finding no
one but Laura arrested her for in
vestigation. Her face this morning
was badly swollen but no bullet wound
was found and she only remembers
the firing of one shot.
From Information obtained from the
woman the police believed that Col
lins caught the train for Kansas City,
where he belongs to the Hod Carriers
union, and to which Kansas City pro-
lection bad negroes hasten from all
over the state.
The Kansas City police department
will be asked to search for the fugi-
tive. If found another penitentiary
sentence will probably be handed him.

WORK HORSES "a HOURS
Chicago Humane Officers VIII Make
Investigation.

Chicago, March 13.-Charges that a
practice exists of working horses on
two shifts one day and one night, in
each "a hours, have been made to the
Illinois Humane society.
George A. H. Scott, secretary, prom
ises an investigation but expressed
doubt as to whether convictions
could be obtained under the law as it
stands in Illinois today.
''It is doubtless true that some own
ers work their horses all day and then
send them out with wagons for all
night Jobs" he said, making about
twenty hours work in the "a. To
prove this, however, it would be
necessary to shadow the horse all day
and all night, and even then the
courts would throw the case out if
actual pain were not shown. There is
no law regulating the time a man
may work his horse, and the courts
indulge in no presumptions. They
will not presume from the fact that a
horse has been at hard labor day and
night that it has suffered pain there
from, You must prove the pain, and
this is hard to do, for 1t is wonderful
how the horses will stand up under
the strain

HAD MONEY TO SPEND.
A Stephenson Worker Tells the Com
mittee How He Spent 1t.

Madison, Wis, March 13.-W. l..
Smith of Neillsvi1le testified before
the senatorial investigation commit
tee today that in dispensing expendi-
lures in behalf of the Stephenson pri-
mary campaign, a small amount was
given to the editor of the Neillsville
Times ''for him to SPEND He said he
spent most of the money in the sa-
looms of Clark county.
When the senatorial proposition was
discussed it seemed. he said, to be the
field against "uncleike.' when they
got to discussing him, that he was too
old, and so forth, and got warm under
the collar. I asked them to have one
and cool off, said Smith.

Taft Defends the Tariff Bill,

In the most important utterance that
he has made since his occupancy OF
the White House, President William
II. Taft. at Winona, Mimi. in a state
which is the hotbed of the .insur-
gent" movement within the Republic
can party, defended the Payne tarin
bill as the best tariff measure ever
passed by a Republican congress and
hence the best tariff bill the people
have ever known.
The president boldly asserted that
the insurgents who voted against the
bill had abandoned the Republican
party.
Was II the duty OF the member OF
congress who believed that the bill
did not accomplish everything that It
ought to accomplish, TO vote against

Il am here to justify those who an
swer this question In the negative.
am not here 10 defend those who voted
for the Payne bill. but to support
them"
President Taft's speech was re.
markably plain spoken defense OF the
Payne bill. He has been met with many
queries since the beginning OF his trip
as to when he intended taking up the
subject Of the tariff.
The statement contained only
enough figures TO make clear poin'
which the president has dwelt upon
for some time In his confidential talks
that the measure OF the new bill should
be taken by the amount of reductions
made on articles OF general consump-
ton compared to the increases on ar
ticles little used. The president. BY
means Of a table prepared at his re
quest by Mr. Payne. showed that the
tariff had been increased on articles
whose consumption In this country
amounts yearly to $1,000 900. and
that - this amount s379.000.0 900 Is rep
