ter OF declaring a party affiliation,
however is merely brought out by
Inference and no direct statement
in the bin covers this point.
Mr.. Hamblen also takes the
ground that even II the provision
were made that man had to state
his party utilization the law would
be unconstitutional. This ends the
fuss over the matter and the city
clerk has started again to register
the voters under the old plan, the
general opinion of the city attor-

GIANT JUMPS THE
POLICE JOB

Charles Block, a regular giant,
appointed on the regular police
force January 8, because he came
up to the new requirements laid
down by the board, handed in his
resignation this morning. Policing
In town like Spokane isn't as
good as Charles thought It was,
and then. too, he's learned some
thing of the inside workings of the
job that he never knew before.
First, he was called down by the
chief for taking off more time
than he was allowed for meals,
and. well, there are lots of things
about those quiet interviews be-
hind closed doors in the hciefs Of
fee that he didn't relish.
However. the letter written to
the board of police commissioners
embodying his resignation stated
that Blocks services in the police
department had been satisfactory,
but Block is a railroader and he
may return to the road.

IN SECOND
DEGREE

NASHVILLE, March 20.-Colo-
mel Cooper and son Robin were to-
day found guilty of numbering for
mer Senator Carmack in the second
degree and Immediately sentenced
to 20 years each by Judge Hart.
When the jury filed in after four
days elaboration the Coopers turn
ed pale. Near the colonel sat his
two daughters. Father and son
showed no emotion when the YER
dict was read, but the daughters
were heartbroken.
The court Immediately command
ed the Coopers to stand up and
then pronounced sentence. The
only sounds in the room were the
sobbings of the daughters.
When they were led out the de
PENDANTS counsel announced an ap-
peal from the verdict and judgment
would be taken. In support of an
appeal the defense caused copies
to be made of the courts ruling to
the jury when it announced 1t
could not agree regarding the Coop
ers instructing the jury and 1t must
convict or acquit.
Eighteen ballots were taken, the
first resulting in the acQuittal OF
Sharpe. The same vote showed
the jury standing Ave for convic'
ton of murder in the first degree,
six favoring conviction in the sec.
ond degree, one, s. M. Hyde, hold
ing for acquittal. After several
ballots the II jurors voted for con-
viction in the second degree. Fl
nally Hyde was wone over.
Under the laws of Tennessee the
Jury fixes the penalty In all cases
except convictions in the first de-
gree. The minimum for the crime
for which the Coopers were con
victed is 10 years. The jury deeid
ed ma maximum of 20 years.
After release on bail the Coopers
were driven to the home Of Mrs
Burch, the colonel's daughter. Ar.
guments for new trial will begin
April 3.
The court denied the motion OF
the defense to set aside the verdict
on the ground that the curt inter
fered with the verdict rendered yes
terday. The court declared yester.
days statement of jury that 1t was
"hopelessly tied up as to the Coop
ers" is not a verdict.

according to the records in the Of

of these contractors are men who

to complete the job finally before

the council this evening, will be
passed. Councilman Funk, one of
those who voted against the pas

vote in favor of the amendment in
view of the fact that he had deter

submitting both amendments.
This leaves Councilmen Gray

This ruling of the supreme court
gives Mr.. Pugh's appeal official
recognition, point to secure
which had been the cause of much
contention. Some of the able law
yers of the bar claimed that the
supreme court would not listen to
Prosecutor Pugh's appeal, but the
fact that they did grant the review
Is taken to mean that the question
will be heard on its meris.
1t was announced today that un.
til the outcome Of the supreme
court appeal is Iscertained no
further testimony will be taken by

investigation.
The motion by the attorneys for
Judge Gordon to bring to an imme-
date trial the case against him,
charging the embezzlement OF

heard today but was placed on the
calendar for next Saturday.
The matter before the Spokane

that he is entering upon an investi.
cation of alleged corruption in the
highest court in the state, and that
to make the investigation effective
