BaiIcy'S Work Made
Lighter

The motion for a new trial in the
case Of Carl Howey. convicted OF kilt
ing I'd Morris and now serving life
sentence in the state prison will come
before Judge Bailey for final determ-
nation tomorrow. The hearing was
hegur a couple Of months ago and was
continued to give the attorneys for the
state time to prepare for the case.
O'NelI and Simpson, attorneys for
Howey. present strong line Of affi-
davits to prove that Ed Morris is still
alive, backing them up by witnesses.
County Attorney venable will oppose
the granting Of the motion and will
have testimony to offer
An officer has gone to McAlester af-
ter Howey and he will be present at
the hearing.
Judge Bailey will be here all this
week This morning he granted or
ders for the naturalization of J. E.
schow and Matt Iverson. These cases
were acted upon last fall but through
an error the department in Washing
ton declined to ratify the courts ac-
non. The reason was that the orders
we're made within 80 days before a
general election, which is contrary to
law.
BY reason Of the action of the recent
legislature changing judicial districts,
Judge BaiIey's work will be lighter in
the future. allowing him to catch up
with his doczets, which were becom-
ing over-crowded. One additional
county. Comanche, was added to the
district but provision was made for
two judges Judge Johnson Of Law
ten viii be the other judge. The ere
alton Of the superior court here also
operated to diminish the volume Of the
district courts business.
Last year Judge Bailey held court
every day and generally at night. with
the exception Of few weeks in Aug
ust. Pushing the dockets as hard as
he could he fell behind. He will prob.
ably be able to keep up with his dock
cts in the future by sitting about 35
weeks dur.ag the year.

FOR KIDNAPER
Attorney for Negro Educa-
tor Finds New Motive.

New York, March 23.-It is now be-
liered by MILFORD III. Smith, attorney
for Booker Il. Washington, that the
real motive for the attack on his client
last Sunday night was not resentment
for an alleged ~offense, but the fear
that be was a %kidnaper. Smith says
that Mrs. Ulrich, who says DR.. Wash
ington spoke to her, mistook him for
a negro who once attempted to steal
her t~en-year-oid daughter. There Ia
that same negro" she told her hus-
band, Smith declares, who Immediately.
set upon the educator and beat hin.
The lawyer also asserts that on the
strength of new evidence he has turn
ed up regarding the episode he will ask
District Attorney Whitman to try to
have Ulrich indicted for felopious as
sault. He said several witnesses would
swear that DIR. Washington did not
enter the apartment house beyond the
vestibule, and therefore could not have
attempted to peep into anybody's fiat,
and that at least one witness will tell
about the beating as she saw It from,
an upper window of the same house.
Who these witnesses are Mr.. Smith
said he could not say at present.
Felonfous assault was the original
charge against Ulrich that DIR. Wash
ington made in the police station.
When the case came up in the west
side court Tuesday the felony charge
vas shifted to one of simple assault
and Uirich was let go In $500 bail.
DR.. Washington has received from
President Taft. In the presidents
handwriting, the following letter:
"My Dear DR.. Washington am
greatly distressed at your misfortune,
and | hasten to write you of my SYM
pathy. my hope that you win soon re-
cover from the wounds inflicted by In
sane suspicion or yiciousness, and of
my confidence In you. in your integrity
and morality OF Character. and in your
highest usefulness to your race and
to all the people of this country.
