time consumed did not take more than
twenty minutes. AT this period the
defense rested.
The state asked that the testimony
OF the physicians and surgeons, who
testified to the hypothetical question
on Thursday, be stricken. This mo.
ton was overruled by the court.
After sending the jury to their
room for few minutes, the court
stated to the attorneys In the case
that his instructions to the jury would
be for them to disregard the charge
of murder In the second degree, as
the evidence introduced was not suf-
ficient to sustain the complaint as
made in the information.
Mr.. Armstrong, witness in re-
buttal, was called by the state, but
was not allowed to answer the three
questions put to him, and was ex'
cused. The objections raised by the
defendant were that the witness had

over year, Erma and Irwin HUH,
aged 8 and IL respectively, alighted

The children are those of Mr.. and
Mrs. Julius HUH, who arrived in Nor

About year ago Mr.. and Mrs. HUH
decided on pleasure trip to America.
Leaving their two eldest children with
grandparents, they started from Ham
burg with the two youngest children.
They visited in New York, Wisconsin
and other states. In Wisconsin they
heard of Norfolk and decided to come
here to visit with old friends. So
pleased did they become with the
country that Mr.. HUH, who Is well
educated mechanic, decided to stay.

great curiosity for the passengers who
gathered around them and made them

This Is the committee that has chloro-
formed every similar resolution since
the year one. Several times the house
has passed an amendment providing
for direct election Of senators. often
by a unanimous vote, only to have 1t
put to sleep In the senate committee
on privileges and elections. Last SEES
sion Senator Borah changed the luck
Of the measure by having It referred
to the judiciary committee, which re-
ported 1t favorably. As soon as the
advocates Of popular elections awak-
ened to the fact that their pet bill
was going the old chloroform route
they raised the long yell, moved to re-
consider, carried the motion and had
the bill sent to the judiciary commit
tee, which made a favorable report.
Just as It did In the last session. This
assures the passage Of the resolution
by the senate. That three-fourths Of
the states will approve 1t goes without
saying.
One Danger Point.
There is Just one danger point. This
Is the Sutherland amendment In the
last session It was the Sutherland
amendment that defeated the bill. 1t
is innocent enough on its face. being
a simple proviso that the federal gov
eminent shall have charge of all sena-
torial elections. The southern sena-
tors say there is an African in this
particular legislative wood pile. They
charge that the amendment opens the
way for another force bill; hence when
the enemies Of popular election OF
senators put that amendment In the
DILL last time the southern senators,
who naturally favored the measure,
turned tail and defeated It. That was
fine work for the foes of popular cleo
tons. Now they are trying to do the
same thing again. They failed in the
house, failed again in the senate ju-
dietary committee and are carrying
their hght to the open senate. So
plausible is the Sutherland amend
ment that even Theodore Roosevelt
was led to say a word in its behalf
Yet its incorporation In the direct cleo
