Mason City. Dec. 1.-Where is pretty
Miss Edith Winter? That was what
Judge Kelley. number Of the inter-
esterd lawyers and several officers
wanted to know today. She was sub
poenaed yesterday to appear as a wit
ness in the trial Of J. s. Shearer,
charged with taking the life of Henry
Lucas. She is teacher and is engaged
In Lincoln township. twelve miles
northwest Of this city. Not only does
the defense want her, but the state as
well, and just what either want Of her
is hard to tell.
The defendant undoubtedly hopes to
establish an alibi by her testimony She
is a sister Of Mrs. j. s. Schreckengost,
for whom Shearer worked on the 10th
of last July.
Shsarsr on the Stand.
The defendant was on the stand to-
day. his direct and cross examinations
occupying about all day. and his evil
dence Is about all the defense will offer.
The Brisbin family resided not to ex-
coed $50 feet from where the murder
is alleged to have been committed,
were on the porch and on the lawn
that evening until 10 o'clock. and never
heard anything of it. Shearer himself
told the story that after hard days
work harvesting oats he went to the
Schreckengost home. did his part Of
the chores as usual. then went into the
house and as he passed thru the kitch-
en- talked ten or fifteen minutes with
Miss Winter, who was there. That he
went to bed about 9 o'clock and about
$3.50 he saw Miss Winter go to bed.
She had to pass his room.
Strong Abb is corroborated.
It is thought that the defense wants
her to corroborate this story, for If
she does it will be a pretty difficult
alibi to get around The state is as
anxious to get her, and at 4 o'clock an
officer in an auto was dispatched to her
school. 1t Is reported that when the
subpoena was served upon her yester-
day that she told the officers that un-
der no circumstances would she come
and 1t is thought that she will keep In
hiding. The state claims that the evil
dence she has will be damaging to
the defendant, and now that Shearer
has told his story they must have her
story in rebuttai.
Establishing . Motive.
The state put on witnesses to estab-
lish a motive for the crime. and that
was robbery. There was evidence to
the effect that Lucas had Just cashed
Ia $14 check and beside this amount had
a little change In his pockets. When
found there was no money in his pock-
cts and one Of the pants pockets was
turned inside out. The case will be in
the hands Of the lawyers early today.

LOCAL INTEREST IN NORFOLk'S
QUARANTINE FIGHT.

As long as the existing laws of the
State regulating the quarantine ser
vice are in effect. Newport News viii
be obliged TO take her quarantine reg
ulatlons from the Norfolk quarantine
commission, through the governor.
The Norfolk commissioners have the
power TO adopt such regulations as
they see fit for their port. and as IL
is essential that Newport News be
kept on an equal footing with Norfolk
in this matter. whenever the people
across the roads loosen up We on
this side must trot up to the COVER
nor with a request that We be allow
ed to loosen" too. Governor Swan
son adopted the policy of changing,
at our request. the local quarantine
regulations to conform TO those put
in effect at Norfolk. and we trust
that Governor Mann will see fit TO
continue this policy
Therefore. Newport News is about
as much interest as Norfolk herself
in the fght now going on across the
Roads for reform in the State quar-
antine service.
The Norfolk Landmark says:
No unnecessary or farcicai quaran-
tine OF any kind is the demand. Do
not compromise il. Fight IL out on
that line II IL takes all summer-but
don't let il take all summer
The quarantine commission ought
to draw the rules in the interest Of
the port. without reference to the
quarantine officer. who Is merely the
boards agent. and who does not have
TO hold the position n ne does not
Ike the rules or the compensation.
The Daily Press hopes the Norfolk
shipping men will be able to have
eliminated ell unnecessary or far
s;cal quarantine When they have
won their fight. the local shipping IN
tercsts can appeal 20 Governor Mann
to be put On an equal footing. This
paper hopes. too. that before the leg
islsture meets again the shipping and
commercial Interests % all Tidewate.
viii have combined for a determined
effort 20 have the state quarantine
service made efficient OF abolished.

Tor general work during a specihed
lperiod. or that any general retaining
Zee would be paid. Il may be tha'
the legislators could have been III
tie more explicit in their language
hut Ia our mind they expressed thelr
meaning. as interpreted by the
finance committeeman referred TO,
very clearly in the words. the gov
ernor shall have the power to employ
an attorney by contract AT ANY
TIME to represent the state or any
department Of the state.
That the governor was not fully In
formed when he made the appoint
ment is evidenced by the fact that the
new arrangement provides for two
years service by the speaker for lees
not to aggregate more than $4,000.
whereas the original agreement pro-
vided for a salary Of $4,000 a year for
two years. II was discovered that
the $4,000 appropriation had been
made for one year only And some
people will believe that the fact that
the $4,000 was not available had more
to do with the making Of the lew
than id the widespread
protest against the appointment of
speaker OF the house of delegates TO
a salaried state Office during the term
for which he was elected.
As far as the constitutionality OF
the speakers appointment Is con-
cerned. we cannot see that the new
arrangement occupies much hrmer
ground than the old. Section 45 OF
the State constitution says:
The members of the General AS
shall receive for their ser
vices a salary to be fixed by law and
paid from the public treasury; . but
no act increasing such salary shall
take effect until after the end of the
term for which members voting there
on were elected: and no member dur
ing the term for which he shall have
been elected shall be appointed or
elected to any civil oiilce of profit
in the State except Offices filled by
election by the people.
The constitution does not say any
Office. II says OFFICE OF
PROFIT. And the governors action
in making an arrangement stead OF
an appointment and the change from
salary to fees. cannot alter the fact
that Speaker Byrd. whose term as
member OF the assembly does not ex-
pire until 1912, is now holding a civil
office of profit.

Vessels Come in to Old
Point and Men Are Given
Liberty.

Eight ships of the Atlantic fleet,
which has complet the target prac-
tice off the Virginia Capes came in
to Old Point from the Southern
drill grounds yesterday afternoon. The
ships brought to Old Point a large
number of sailors. who have beer
given liberty and leave for a period
of several weeks and will later joir
the fleet in New York harbor for the
cruise to Southern waters.
The fighters in the Roads are the
Michigan. Georgia. Idaho, New Hamp
shire. Missouri. Nebraska. Minnesota
Mississippi and New Jersey.
1t is expected the ships will remain
here for several days and may also
take on bunker coal.
1t had been arranged to have jhe
entire fleet come here last Tuesday
but this program was changed and
the liberty men from the other ships
were sent aboard the fighters that
came here yesterday.

OLD POINT HOTELS TAKE
OUT SALOON LICENSES
First Time HOstelrieS on Res
ervation Ever Paid State
and County Taxes.

For the first time since the hotels
at Old Point have been run on the
government reservation, the owners
OF the popular resorts yesterday took
cut State and county license 10
conduct their saloons. The decision
o. the proprietors to pay the licenses
was due TO an opinion of former AT.
torney-General William A. Anderson,
who declared that the Old Point
saloons had no more right 10 run
without taking out the State and
county licenses than did the saloons
in any other section of the State.
Manager George F.. Adams, OF the
Chamberlin. and MIR. John b. Kimber-
ly, of the Sherwood Inn. through their
attorneys, yesterday paid the license
fee TO Commissioner OF the Revenue
Harry Wise Booker and the licenses
We're then granted by Judge Robin
son, in the Circuit Court. 1t cost the
Chamberln little more than 5000
for the privilege, while the Sherwood
I'm paid $3.50.
The court heard the application OF
the father of Charles +. Epstein for
a transfer of the sons license from
his present stand TO the saloon now
conducted by Mr.. Uzzle. The father
was given a temporary permit to con-
duct the place until the June term
of the court and if at that time there
are no complaints against Epstein it
is likely that the license will be
given him permanently.

SPEAKER BYRD's NEW FAR
RANGeMENT.-

In q statement for publication given
out In Richmond Wednesday. Speaker
Byrd announces that he has agreed
with, the governor that he shall re-
receive no salary In his capacity as
specisl counsel for the states inst
tutions but that when his services
are required he shall receive a reason
able fee. not TO exceed In the agsre-
gate the sum OF $4,000 for two years.
The Richmond papers seem TO re-
gard this as satisfactory adjust
ment OF the questionable situation
In which the speaker and the COVER
nor had placed themselves.
Certainly the new arrangement is
nearer than the original contract to
a fulGlIment of the apparent intent
Of the act of the assembly appro-
priating money for special legal ser
vices: and i; is evident that the gov
ernor and the speaker are satisfied
that no one can. or will. effectively
question the consttutionality of the
Iatter's action In entering into the ar
rangement
The governor and the speaker are
lawyers OF more or less prominence
and long experience, and they ought
To know more about the constitution
and the. acts OF the assembly than
any mere editor. Nevertheless, we
believe a considerable part of the
public, including most of the lawyers,
will join with this paper in the opin-
ion that Governor Mann stretched a
point, to say the least. in constituting
the act OF the assembly appropriating
$1,000 for special legal services into
authority for the arrangement with
Speaker Byrd. and that the latter vio-
lated the state constitution in being
a party to the arrangement" And
as it Is obvious from the statement
Of the speaker that neither he nor the
governor knew what he was doing
when the original arrangement was
made. even an editor and a Iayman
perhaps Is justified in suspecting
that these two lawyers have erred
again.
About two weeks ago this state
ment was published throughout the
State. aud no one contends that IL did
not give facts:
Speaker Byrd has been appointed
by Governor Mann as counsel for the
educational institutions. hospitals and
governmental departments OF the
State. at a salary OF $4,000 a year. sor
