Governor Patterson Has Nine
Friends on Jury So Grill

CONFERENCE DAY N COURT
ENDED WITH ADJOURNMENT

to be in Their Places When the
Case Is Resumed in the Morning
Still Many Witnesses.

on both sides in the Cooper-Sharp
trial for murder of former Senator Z.
w. Carmack, were in conference early
today. The witnesses, who are still
to be put upon the stand, were ex-
amined and plans laid for the resump-
tion of the battle tomorrow.
The state has decided definitely not
to recall Governor NJ. r. Patterson
for cross-examination. This decision
was reached after rather stormy
session which lasted several hours.
Several of the counsel for the state
are bitter enemies of the governor
and they favored grilling of the
chief executive, but it was learned
that nine of the twelve jurors were
strong Patterson supporters and At
torney General McCarn feared the ef-
feet on them Of an attack upon the
governor. The second reason for ex-
cusing him was that he told no new
facts, confining himself simply to cor
roborating the other witnesses as to
what happened at the famous confer
ences the day of the tragedy. The
defense is rounding up its remaining
witnesses to be used in rebuttal and
is preparing to fight an expected at
tempt of the prosecution to develop
the conspiracy theory or to show the
condition of Senator Carmack's mind
on the day Of the shooting.
In order to save time, the state and
defense got together yesterday and
agreed upon statement of facts as
to the plat Of the vicinity of the crime.
the distance and measurements. Then
the defense called Albert E. Hill. edi-
tor and proprietor of the Labor Advo-
cate. Hill heard Senator Carmack
give an Grafton at Glendale Park on
Labor Day. 1t was at this picnic that
S. j. Benning, the witness SO con-
fused by the state yesterday, said he
saw Senator Carmack the last time
before the day of the murder. The
witness was introduced solely to cor
roborate Benning on this one point.

What is the difference between high
grade and low grade baking powders?
All baking powders are white and
are sold In round cans with bright la
bells They look alike, but in contents
they are very different.
High grade baking powders are
made of pure cream of tartar derived
from grapes. They are healthful and
economical to use.
Low-grade baking powders are made
of alum, an astringent mineral acid.
Before the Pure Food Law only a
chemist could tell by analysis one
from the other.
But now baking powders have the
ingredients printed on the back of the
label BY reading the label the house
