LIFE SENTENCE
JURY RETURNS VERDICT OF
"MuRDE R"-HE DENIES ALL
KNOWLEDGE OF ANY GUILT.

Louisville, KY, Dec. A jury Sat
urday found Joseph Vending guilty
of the murder of eight-ye@ Alma
Kellner and fixed his punishment at
life Imprisonment.
The jury was given the case at
6:2O o'clock this afternoon and an
nouncement of the verdict came at
1910. Vending was talking to his
wife. Mrs. Madeline Vending, when
the verdict was announced. He re-
mained perfectly calm.
Il either killed the little girl or I
did not" said Vending. "They
should send me to the electric chair
or turn me free"
The verdict came after a day spent
in argument by attorneys and the
reading of the instructions from Judge
Gregory. Although there We're four
possible verdicts, the jury might have

the court, the verdict was merely:
Murder"
The evidence presented against
Vending was putely circumstantial.
Since his arrest and throughout his
trial he denied any knowledge of the
fate of the Kellner child
Witness, however, testified that
Vending, then janitor at st. Johns
Catholic church, was seen in the
church, the morning Alma Kellner
last went there to mass.
The child was never seen again
and months later charred and dis
membered portions of her body were
found hidden beneath the church
music room.
Alma Kellner was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Kellner, of this
city, and niece of Fred Fehr, mil
lonaire brewer, who spent much
time and money in the search for the
child and in the prosecution of Wend-
ling.

constitution unless such person had
registered since the amendment was
declared adopted al the polls on Aug.
2 last.
The decision was in the case OF
an election official, A. J. Show OF
Tulsa, who had applied to the elm
inal court OF appeals for a writ OF
habeas corpus when the Tulsa county
attorney flied information against
him for refusing the right to vote
to A. y. BlakemOre, a negro who re-
fused TO submit to the educational
test, but instead offered sworn AMI
davit that he was able 20 read and
write. The writ was granted 20
Show.
This decision brings the issue
squarely before the federal and state
authorities as to the use OF affidayits
in elections. Judge John Embry OF
Guthrie and Judge Frank lee OF
Muskogee, United States attorneys,
held, prior to the recent election, that
if negroes offered affidavits that they
could read and write such must be
accepted by the precinct election Of
fcials at a time when members of
the congress were being elected or
they otherwise would place them
selves liable to punishment under
the federal statutes against conspir-
acy Under this Interpretation OF
the federal law numerous election
officials have been arrested in Okla
homa and are now awaiting trial.
Justice Richardson in his opinion
holds:
Sec. 4-A of Art. III. of the state
constitution, being an amendment ad-
opted by the people at the election
held on Aug. 2, 1910, prescribing an
educational qualification for certain
voters, is self-executive, so that the
law went into effect upon its pas
sage and the grandfather clause is
now the law of Oklahoma.
The question of a persons educa-
tional qualification should be deter
mined at the time of registration, If
registration is required. Presumption
is that they have done their duty,
but that if the election officers be-
lieve the registration to be fraudu-
lent they then have the privilege Of
examining the applicant
AS to the proper course for cleo
tion officers to pursue, the court
says:
when it appears that a person Of
fering to vote in a city of the first
class has not registered since the ad-
option of the constitutional amend
ment on Aug. 2, 1910, anu WAS not
on Jan. /, 1866, or at some time prior
thereto entitled to vote under any
form of government and did not, on
said date, reside in some foreign ma
ton and is not a lineal descendant
of such person, the precinct election
officers may lawfully require such
person to read and write a section of
the constitution before permitting
him to vote"

NEGRO WOMAN ARRESTED.
She Ia Held In Connection With the
 Guinness Murder.

LAPorte, Ind, January 15.-Eliza Bell Smith. colored, arrested as the result of . confession of Ray Lamphere to Rev. E. A. schell. now president of Iowa wes- leyan university, made public today. was released today on a $500 bond. The ne- gross, who was implicated by the con- fession in the murder of Mrs. Belle Gunness and her family. was questioned by Prosecutor Smith and she denied all the charges made by Lamphers. Tho Garnd jury will be in session next week when 1t is expected there will be . re- sumption of the investigation into the Gunness case.
 Prosecutor Smith declares that he in- tends to go to the bottom of the negro womans alleged connection with tho death of the Guinness woman and her children.
 The Treulson confession may yet play an important part in this case. This confession was made in May, 1e6, in New York by Julian Truelson, now sefv- ing a term for forgery in Texas pen itentiary. He claimed to have visited the Qunness farm before the Ire and he told much about the case. For a time the officers were inclined to believe that he was an accomplics but later 1t was found that he told the story in or der to be taken from Texas and brought to LaPorte.
 It is possible that Truelson may be brought here because there are features of his confession which bear striking re- somblances to the Lamphere confession
 nade to pr. Schell.

BALLINcER BILL CRITICISED.
Congressman MondelI Thinks 1t Is Not
 Feasible In Land Cases.

Washington, January 15.-President Taft's bills on various branches of conservation as prepared by Secretary Ballinger were discussed today in a meeting Of the House committee on public lands, in which Chairman Mon dell expatiated upon the reasons f"r his declinations to introduce the meas ure in the House.
 Mr Mondell objects to the Bal'inger bill for classification of public lands as entirely unfeasible. Some of the oth- CTS he regards as impracticable.
 There are half a dozen of the com seryation bills in the batch sent to Mr. Mondell by the secretary of the interior They will be further Dn- sidered and some member of the com mittee other than MT. Mondell may in- troduce them.
 Representative Smith of California, a member of the committee, declares the Presidents bills for oil lands would meet the unanimous opposition of the oilmen of California It provides for an agricultural use of oil lands, which Mr. Smith dsMares is impossible. He. however, favors the land classification bill as submitted, and may introduce it for the President.
 The matter of the adverse reception of the Presidents. conservation meas ures in the public lands committee is one of large interest, and they are the first Of the administration meas ures to reach the stage where there Is st. ong opposition to them.

NEGOTIATING FOR PEACE.
RevoIutonists Are Trying to Make
 Terms With Madriz-

Washington, January 15--Negorla- tions for peace are said to be on again
 between the Nicaraguan revolution
 ists and President Madriz. The tragic
 drowning of Fornas Diaz, Estrada's
 peace envoy, who fell into tue sea
 when he was about to land for [ msot-
 ing with the commissioners of Madriz. halted the negotiations for few days. According to correspondence be- tween Madriz and the insurgent chief.
 the text of which has been sent to the
 navy department by Admiral himball,
 new commissioner, probably, will be appointed to meet the Madril repre-
 sentative in GIeytown and discuss the terms of permanent peace.
 The Central American diplomats here are still of the opinion that noth- ing short of complete surrender of the reins of government by Madriz will be accepted by the revolutionists. The insurgents supporters here point out that the complete silence which has followed the battle of
 Acoyapa three days ago must portend an insurgent victory. They say the telegraph line from Acoyapa to San
 Juan Del Sur, the cable station, is ab- solutely controlled by Madriz and no news of a rebel victory could be al- , lowed to go to the outside world that
 way.
 It is believed that the three divis- ions of the Estrada army which left Rama separately after the battle have
 made junction at Acoyapa. Chamorro
 was in charge of the first division ald Estrada followed with the two others.

FEW CHANGES MADE
 IN FOOTBALL GAME

Atlanta, January B.-Nons of the sal tent features of the present game of foot ball will be lost as . result of the changes decided upon here today by a special committee of the Southern Inter collegiate Athletic association.
 The changes which will bs suggested to the national rules committee arc de- signed to eliminate the danger of mass plays and to protect tho weak play CTS.
 One thing that becomes . law in the southern association without further ref erence, 1t is said, Is that no person shall be registered as member of any team in the association who falls to pass a satisfactory medical examination
 The changes suggested in the rules ares Division of the game into four periods of equal length with hve-minuts rest ceed 50 minutes.
 On the question of scoring it is recom- mended that when the ball is carried to the 20-yard line points shall be scored; 15-yard line, points shall be scored; 1o-yard line. points: 6-yard line, points and acros the goal, points shall be tho quota.
 The points are not to be accumulative, however, 1t is asserted. After two suc- cessful lines cross the line. less than i've yards out of bounds. the next play will incur an added penalty in crossing the scrimmage line by more than four yards from the center.
 No player on any team having the ball shall use his hands to assist the runner CT to block ar interference.
 All tancem formation In the back field is barred The offensive team shall have seven men known as linesmen on on the line off scrimmage at the mo- ment the ball is put in play, and these shall at all times retain their positions relative to the center. None of these linesmen shall be drawn back of the scrimmage line except for the purpose of kicking, whereupon his place shall be taken by one of the back men.
 All incompleted forward passes shall count as downs without distance penal ties. and the ball shall be returned to the point from where 1t WAS snapped. The committee says;
 '.There should be nobody checking of a player receiving forward past. and @ player receiving the ball should nor attempt to advance"
 After witnessing a practical demon stration of the changes in the rules ad- vocated by Walter Camp on tho Georgia Technological gridiron this afternoon. the committee unanimously agreed that Camp,s changes were not feasible. A picked squad of tho Yellow Jackets made the demonstration.
 Discussing the demonstration members of the committee said that while the changes advocated by MT. Camp have their merit, yet, they aver, the game would be reduced to a rugby contest that Americans have placed themselves as opposed to in offensive and defensive work of the players.
