Reilly. charged with murder in the
second degree, was today successful in
maintaining in the district court his
challenge against service by the jury
panel that had been subpoenaed.
The challenge to the jury panel was
made yesterday morning following the
failure of the defendant to gain the
setting aside of the information and
the sustaining of the demurrer that
he also made. Arguments were made
yesterday morning and afternoon, be-
ing continued today and concluded
with Judge Burr's order sustaining
the challenge and ordering the panel
discharged.
Immediately an order was entered
requiring the sheriff to summon new
jury, but once more objection was
made on the plea that the sheriff is a
relative to the states complaining
witness. Thereupon the court ordered
Deputy Sheriff Stevenson to summon
a new jury Immediately, and the work
Of selecting the jurors who will try
the case was commenced this after
noon at 1880 o'clock.
The formal plea of the defendant Of
not guilty has been entered, but it is
expected that there will be some little
time before the actual trial is COM
menced as there will be strong fight
over the selection of jurors.

Wickersham Defends the Supreme
Courts Recent Trust Decision

the Sherman law, perhaps for the
first time, has been demonstrated to
be an actual, effective weapon to the
accomplishment of the purpose for
which it was primarily enacted,
namely, the destruction Of the great
combinations familiarly known as
trusts"
Size alone does not constitute
monopoly. The attainment of a
dominant position in a business ac-
quired by the result of honest enter
prise and normal methods of business
development is not violation of the

Description Of
ABSOLUTE LIFE
Most Satisfactory Yet Given
Propounded by Mrs. Bridges
This Morning

Chicago, ILL.,, July 7.-"I saw new
light and the feeling was in me as
though there was something for me
to do to better myself and better the
world at large. 1t was feeling
which was like walking on cloud.
That feeling was Absolute life
The foregoing, given in the testi-
mony of Mrs. Lucille Bridges in the
See trial today, is regarded by the de-
tense as one of the best definitions of
the cult given during the present
case. Mrs. Bridges is the mother OF
Mildred, whose father, Stephen
Bridges, alleged that See held the girl
at his fiat for immoral purposes.
Judge Honore cautioned the wit
ness about answering the question
after the objection had been made
and before the court has ruled. Mrs.
Bridges has proven an awkward wit
ness in this respect.
Mildred was our only child" con-
tinued the witness "She was made
so much of that she became stubborn
and somewhat spoiled. There was a
decided change for the better after
she began studying Sees teachings"
Mrs. Bridges denied that there had
been any disobeying in the See fiat.
did you ever tell your husband
that you had revelation of mother
hood?" Cantwell asked.
"No," she replied.
The witness said that she had made
contributions of $1,000 and $500 re-
spectively to the cause of absolute
life"

Devils Lake, N. D., July lin an
order issued today by Judge John F..
Cowan of the district court. Clerk of
Court Stenseth Of Ramsey county is
prevented from transcribing the rec
ords of the several Ramsey county
prohibition law cases that were set
for trial next week at Lakota. This
order grows out Of an application made
on behalf Of the five defendants di-
rectly interested, through their attor-
neys, F. T. Cuthbert and P. ]. Nc
Glory Of Devils Lake, and Fred Kelly
Of Lakota.
In their application for the restrain

eral cases contended that Judge G.
w. Buttz. who acted as judge of the
district during the time of the trial
of Judge Cowan under the articles Of
impeachment, was not In fact the
judge, and that HE court was only a
pretended court"
At the time the several cases were
transferred, the action was taken on
the plea that fair and impartial trial
could not be procured in Ramsey coun-

Under the provisions of Judge Cow

STOKES Tells OF
FIRST MEETING
Claims That Girl Came to His
Office on Advice of Attor-
ney Originally

New York, July WV. e. Stokes re-
sumed his testimony when the court
opened today for the further exam
ination of the charge that an attempt
to murder Stokes was made month
ago by Miss Lillian Graham and Miss
Ethel Conrad. The purpose of these
proceedings is to determine whether
the evidence is sufficient to warrant
sending the case to the grand jury,
but the examination and cross exam
ination is conducted with such thor
oughness that it amounts practically
to trial.
Stokes said he was not sure how
many letters exhibited yesterday were
his. He thought about eight. He told
of being called on in his Office May
last by Miss Conrad, which was the
first time the letters were brought to
his notice. Miss CuArad, according to
Stokes, proceeded to narrate to him
her familyehistory. She was, accord
ing to this narrative, daughter of a
Russian prince who met her mother
in Louisville, KY, and eloped with
her, Miss Conrad being born in Blue
fields, Venezula, where her father
was killed in riot
Losses of one kind or another re-
duced the widows property and what
was left, Stokes said, Miss Conrad
told him was squandered by the man
her mother married. The daughter
then had to go to work.
"She said," witness continued, "she
had come to see me on her lawyers
advice to tell me about the letters she
found on a table with the suicide
note"
The prosecution closed it's case with
the examination of the policeman who
first reached the house after the shoot
ing. He said the girls told him that
each of them had shot Stokes. At the
close of the morning session it was
rumored that the defendants would
not go on the stand at this examina-

ONLY PLAUSIBLE
CLAIM HAS BEEN
WITHDRAWN NOW
Democratic Congressman From
Tennessee, Attacking Reel
procity So Contends
FARMERS SHOULD NOT Be
bUhC0ED BY PASSAGE OF BILL
Also Contends That It Could Never
Have Been Framed BY His Own
Party-P0ints to the Two Extreme
Features of the Measure.

Washington, July THE only plau-
sible meritorious claim for the passage
of the Canadian reciprocity bill was
withdrawn by Taft in his recent ad-
dress at Indianapolis when he said
that the bill would not diminish the
cost of living, declared Thornton of
Louisiana, Democrat, today in address,
ing the senate.
Thornton said the farmers of the
country should not be "buncoed" by
the enactment of the bill, that the bill
was not Democratic measure and
that therefore he felt free to carry out
his pledges to the people of Louisiana
in voting against 1t, even If he did
not follow his party in the senate in
so doing.
ut could never have been framed
by any Democratic committee" de-
clared Thornton, "for no bill that COM
bines free trade for agriculturalists
with protection for the manufacturers
could possibly be democratic.
He contended that the bill violated
the great Democratic principle, equal
ity, but admitted that it would be
enacted into law. He added that he
feared the passage of the free wool bill
would be as disastrous as the passage
of the free hides bill, "the farmer
losing the profit, the government the
revenue and the public paying as much
as ever for woolen goods" He advo-
Gated the reduction of duties on shoes
and woolen fabrics.
The house was not in session and
the major investigation, that of the
committee on the LOrimer election,
and those of the house committees on
the sugar and steel, so-ealled trusts,
will not be resumed until next week.

Twenty MILLION
FOR GOOD ROADS
Virginian Urges Appropriation
America Behind Other
Countries

Washington, July THE annual
appropriation Of $20,000,000 for five
years to improve the post roads and
rural delivery routes Of the govern
ment was urged in the senate today
by Mr.. Swanson OF Virginia. Con-
tending that despite the amazing
achievements in many directions
scored by this country 1t is not Gu
rious that the United States has the
poorest roads and highways Of any
civilization nation. He said he re-
garded the subject as the paramount
one before the American people.
Mr.. Swanson explained that his
plan would open up more than 1,000,-
090 miles of roads to government aid,
that the states or local authorities
would furnish an amount equal to
that appropriated by the federal gov
ernment and that the total would be
divided among the states, according
to population. He said the Limitation
to postal roads and rules eliminated
any constitutional objections. The
bill would create road department
consisting Of engineers and capable
officials to carry out the project. The
