NDICTMENT HAD
 4 FATAL EFFECT Charges Against 6 Former Benton County Judge
 Not Sustained.
CHOCTAW STRIP CASE
Passed Upon in Favor of Former Pine Binfiian Sl0,000 Judgment
 Affirmed.

Little Rock, Dec. 2o-The failure of the indictment against former County Judge Lou Williams of Benton Coun- ty, alleging non-feassance in office because he did not require the coun- 10 collector, James Hickman, to mako settlement for the quarter ending September 30, 1908, was given as a fatal defect in the indictment by the Supreme court today and the ease remanded with Instructions to sustain a demurrer to the indict. ment
 Williams had been convicted in the Benton county circuit court. It was charged that he had not required the collector to make the said quarterly settlement Or to furnish affidavits that such settlement was correct. etc. Williams demurred to the indictment on the ground that the law regarding the quarterly settlements of collec- tors did not specify any penalty against the county judge for failure 10 require such settlement, and on the further ground that no specific crime was charged In the indict- ment.
 The Supreme court holds that the indictment was fatal on the ground that it failed to state that the col lector had not made the settlement. If the collector had settled, said the court, then there could be no case against the connty judge, even con cesling that he had not requested the settlemen. For this reason the cause was reversed and remanded as above stated ssAs
 .'Choctaw Strip" Again.
 The case of William Bowman vS. the State, appealed from Sebastian County and involving the question of jurisdiction in the "Choctaw Strip, at Fort Smith, was again passed up on by the Supreme court today, thls time the opinion of the court going specifically into the validity of the acts of Congress and the Legislature in extending the jurdsictlon of Ar kansas over the Strip and holding that this iurisdiction is nnquestion- able.
 Tn the former Rearing the court de- cided the case without passing direct ly upon the question of the constitu- tionality of the act of 1905, which was passed for the purpose of adding the strip to this state.
 Bowman was convicted of felony and the judgment Of the lower court was affirmed. His general conten- tion was that the lower court had no jurisdiction in the case.

SOLDIERS
USE BAYONETS ON
CROWD IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Aug. 18.-Twenty persons
were injured when a company Of Polish
s~harpshooters returning from a picnic
charged a crowd Of men, women and
children with bayonets. The trouble
started when h captain of the COM
pany hit a boy with his sword because
the youngster did not get out of the
way quickly enough to suit the officer.
This enraged the crowd which had
gathered to see the soldiers, and the
company was surrounded and an ex-
PLANTATION demanded by the angry
people. Finally the mother Of the boy
attacked h captain with a stick. The
captain then ordered his company,
which consisted Of about 20 men, to
charge the crowd with their bayonets.
The crowd fought back and outnum-
bered the soldiers. The riot became
general n the captain of the COM
pany was one Of the first to retire.
A riot call was sent in for the police
and they arrived in time to arrest five
Of the soldiers, all of whom were more
or less bruised.

CENSUS EMPLOYEES TO
LET POLITICS ALONE
President Taft Will Cut Their
Heads Off if They NEEDLE
or Mix In.

Beverly, Mass. Aug. 18.-In a letter
addressed to Secretary Nagel. of the
department of and labor,
president Taft served notice that any
man engaged in the taking of h 18th
census of the United States who en-
cages in politics in any way will i'm.
mediately be dismissed from the serv-
zee. Outside of casting their votes
the president believes h a census SUI
pervisors and enumerators should keep
clear of anything that savors of poll
tics, national, state Or local
The president orders that the secre-
tary Of commerce and labor and the
director of h census embody in the
regulations governing the taking of
the census the rule so forcibly laid
down in his letter.
Census Out of Politics.
Mr.. Taft says that in appointing
census supervisors it has been found
necessary to select men. recommended
by senators and congressman in their
districts. He says he realizes that
these methods of selection might
easily be perverted to political
and 1T is to take the census out Of
politics.. so far as the actual work Is
concerned. that he has explicitly ex-
pressed his desires as to the reguIa-
tons.
President Taft has told the repre-
sentatives n senator's who have urged
various men for census places hat he
would insist that no active partisans
should be named and that no attempts
should he made to build UP a political
machine in any state or district through
h distribution of the census patron
age.
Northwest Men Named.
MI. Taft's task Is a little more than
half completed. Practically all of the
appointments nave been agreed upon,
but some are being held up temper
arily on account of protests. The CEN
sus supervisors announced includes.

discovery of the murder Of a most
beautiful Jewish-Chinese woman Bow
Kim, q years old, who came here from
san Francisco about a year ago with
an A~mericanfzed Chinaman, Chin Len,
81 years old.
1t was about 2 o'clock, just as the
-quletlng down, that Chin Len dashed
out of a tenement house at II Mott
st, crying: MY woman has been
murdered!" The street filled with lott
sering Cinnamon and parties of Ameri-
can "sightseers,'' all of whom quickly
recalled the sensational murder Of Elsie
.Slgel, the missionary girl. was thrown
into excitement. A policeman and a
detective hurried into the house under
Lens directions, through dark hall
ways to a rear room on the second
floor. The door was locked officers
We're unable to break it in when Len
them aside and unlocked it
himself. In a little room the murdered
woman lay on the floor, stabbed in half
"a dozen places. Her slender neck was
r1nged with bloody finger marks, indi-
eating a struggle with her assailant,
and beside her lay a blood crusted
hunting knife.
Stairs Are Bloody.

been dead for two or three hours. On

rested, although they deny all knowl-
edge of the murder. Six American
women who declared themselves to be
wives of Cinnamon, were found in the
house and We're arrested, but none
would admit any knowledge Of how
Kim's death occurred. In the muir
+dered woman's rooms were found many
letters in Chinese. but none that gave
"a clew. Len declared that he had no
idea who killed his wife, unless may
be Zee Sing killed her. Zee Sing say
she owe him money, and he try to
get it,

he had spent the early evening until

had gone to % Mott st. Returning at

body on the floor. In touching it he
had soiled his hands, which in turn
