In the hands Of the jury. One case
Is that OF a dcbased white woman.

case Is that OF a negro woman who 10

The case OF the white woman Is one

JUDGE KENYON
NEW SENATOR
Iowa Deadlock Was Broken
Wednesday Afternoon

Des Moines. April 13.--The dead
lock In the Iowa legislature ended
Wednesday afternoon shortly before
O'Clock, when Judge William s.
Kenyon, Of Fort Dodge. was elected
United States senator to succeed the
late Senator Jonathan p. Dolliver,
following perhaps the hardest sena-
torial contest ever fought in Iowa,
The election came with the 9th
ballot and was attended by tumultous
scenes, in which Kenyon adherents
displayed their enthusiasm by toss
ing books and papers about the legis-
lafive hall.
On the second ballot of the day
victory was brought to Judge Ken
yon, when Senator Chapman, of
Cedar county, and Representative
Van Camp. of Adair. who had been
constant supporters of Supreme
Court Justice Horace E. Deemer,
changed their votes. Then came
other changes In quick succession,
and when the ballot was counted, il
stood So for Kenyon to 19 for
Deemer, and 81 for Claude R. Porter,
democrat.
As the hour for the first joint bal
lot of the day approached 1t was evil
dent that determined effort to end
the deadlock was to be made by
friends Of Judge Kenyon. The first
roll-call resulte din vote of IS for
Kenyon, 2s for Deemer and 81 for

Case Against Chicago Members
neei Trust Argued
DOES NOT CREATE CRIME
Packers Contend That Antitrust
Act Of 1890 Under Which All
Monopoly Suits Are Brought Does
Not Define ANY OHense Against
United States Constitution.

Chicago, April 13.--Demurrers In
the governments case against the
ten Chicago meat packers charged
in three federal indictments with
violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law and with conspiracy in restraint
OF trade came up for argument today
before United States District Judge
George A. Carpenter. In their de-
murrer the packers contend that the
antitrust act Of 1890 under which
all monopoly suits are brought in
the United States. does not create
any crime.
The basis for this contention Is,
that the statute does not define any
loffense against the United States
with sufficient certainty to inform
the defendants OF the nature OF the
crime or offense with which they are
charged and the same in so far as
lit undertakes TO create a crime is
invalid. void. and contrary to the
United States constitution" The de-
murrer also contends that "the de-
scription of the offense contained in
this action, ON which the Indictment
/ Is based. Is not one by which the de-
PENDANTS we're or. are able TO know.
In advance. whether the acts were
criminal or not. The indictments
also are attacked as Of faulty prep
aration.
II appears TO be the general be-
lief here that the counsei for the
packers have exhausted every re-
source known 20 the law In the eight
years fight TO escape trial and that
unless ri soreseen complications arise
the indicted members OF the so-called
beef trust will be called to the bar
xithin the next few weeks.
Prosecutors for the department OF
Justice and the great corps of attor-
neys for the defense are planning

point Of the department OF justice

Within Twcnty-Four Hours After

ed Down Supporting Validity,
Remedying Defect As to Equasion
Of Property and Poll Tax.

Raleigh, April l3.-within little
more than "a hours afer the case
was filed through briefs with the
court the opinion Of the North Caro-
lima supreme court was handed down
sustaining the validity of the 1911
revenue act through remedying OF
the defect as to equasion of property
and poll tax and. to do this, reyers-
ing the precedent established by the
court In 1897, when the reverse Of
this position was taken by the court
as then constituted and the revenue
act OF that year inyalidated. The
case was submitted through briefs
Tuesday morning and Wednesday af-
ternoon the unanimous ruling of the
court, with opinion written by JUS
tice Brown. was delivered. Briefly
stated the position OF the court Is
that the state constitution Is man
datory as to the constitutional equa-
sion OF three 20 one In property and
poll tax levies and that the property
tax is the standard, the fixing of this
levy automatically adjusting the poll
TO the proper eduasion should the
legislature In Its ministerial capacity
fail to specifically make the adjust
ment. This ruling OF the court saves
to the public schools OF the state for
the next two years something over
$450.00o revenue The case is Gov
eruor Kitchin vs.. State Auditor
Wood. The court directs the state
auditor to issue his tax levy blanks
for the Si.35 poll and sf.45 property
tax. as the revenue act is ruled to
have intended through putting the
property tax at sI.45. Inadvertently
the poll tar was left at s1.2e.
