i new statute

GRAND FORKS, Dec. 15.-After
holding the state medical law, passed
by the last legislative assembly, con-
stitutional. and after the defense had
made an offer of evidence, the case Of
DR.. E. L. Reynolds was sumbitted to-
a jury and verdict of not guilty was
reported.
The not guilty verdict preoludes the
possibility of an appeal to the su-
preme court on the question of the
laws constitutionality, as such an
appeal had been anticipated.
DR.. Reynolds was charged with VIC
lations Of the law, it being contended
that he had held himself out as ply
sician contrary to its provisions. Sew
eral witnesses were placed on the
stand by the prosecution to prove that
point, and at the conclusion Of the
states case the defense moved for
dismissal, contending the law was
not constitutional.
This morning Judge Templeton
ruled on the question, expressing
grave doubts q to, its costttutionaaity.
but at the same time denying the mo-
tion. -

SPEAKER URGES
TARIFF THAT
Will PROTECT

OMAHA, Dec. ia wool tariff
that will protect, was the subject Of
an address by A. A. Ellenwood OF
Red Bluffs, Calii., at the second days
session of the national wool growers
forty-eighth annual, convention.
ElTenWoods address was in the
nature of d protest against what he
represented as unfair treatment to
wool growers by the manufacturers.
He produced figures to show the So
called compensatory duty" on WOOL
en- cloth was intended only to repay
the manufacturer. for money paid by
him either as duty on imported WOOL
or in advance OF the price for domest-
ic wool on account of the tariff, is
too high because it is based on a
false assumption. The duty on first
grade wool is equal to thirty-three
cents per pound, computed on a
secured basis. Ellenwood a4so CON-
planned that the compensatory duty
is paid on goods, only small por-
tion of which is of wool, thus giving
the manufacturer an advantage to
which he is not entitled. The pres
ent law is based on the supposition
that grease wool shrinks two thirds OF
it's weight in securing.
Ellenwood urged a law so that the
tariff shall be computed on the
secured basis in every case.

it's case and Justice Marcus delivered
mis- charge to the jury. The indict-
ment against the show girls contained
three counts, attempted murder, as
sault in the first, and assault in the
second degree. The defense looks for
acqmttal or at the worst, conviction
for some minor degree of crime.
Twenty years imprisonment is the
maximum term possible for the great

Speaking of the relations between
Stokes and Miss Graham, Buclmer
scorned the assertion that it was love.
Its lust on the part Of Stokes, and
;sucre on the part of Lillian Graham,
he said Miss Graham covered her
face with her hands and the tears
trickled between her fingers.
'The principal motive of the act"

his argument, was money, money,
