ARREST FOR TWO LAWMAKERS
Poulson Swears Out Warrant for Both
Grossman and Leidigh,
CONSTABLE INvADES THE HOUSE
Peace officer Undertakes to serve
His Process, hut Matter Is Finally
Dropped by Withdrawal
of Charges.

tFrom a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Feb Especial. )-Legisla-
tive dignity was shattered and two honor
ables' were threatened with comon jail
when r. Hunger, a constable came to the
chamber of the house with a warrant for
John II. Grossman OF Douglas county and
George w. Leidigh Of Otoe county, charg-
ing them with assault and battery upon
Mama S. Poulson, state superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon league, But they were not
lncarcerated. The house reared itself upon
outraged sanctity and ordered its sergeant-
alarms and other armed reserves to de-
fend members from petty interference by
police judges constables and the like and
Poulson promised to withdraw his charges.
The trouble came from the encounter
between Grossman Leidigh and Poulson in
the lobby yesterday when Grossman wanted
to hit Poulson and did not and Leidigh
stood by clamoring for chance. Poulson
had enraged Grossman by calling him a
brewery tool in a letter. Grossman called
Poulson a liar "whelp" and several other
unkind things and Leidgh, holding views
somewhat different than Mr. Poulson's on
the liquor traffic begged almost with tears
in his eyes for 'just one poke at him.
Sergeant-at-arms Kelley finally led Pou-
son away.
Constable a willing worker.
This morning the anti saloon worker
swore out warrant before Justice Of the
Peace Stevens against there two men.
Grossnian as assaulter and Leidigh as alder
and abctter The warrant was brought %
the house gate shortly after convening this
afternoon and Grossman examined It and
laughed. The constable seemed inclined Ia
take the law somewhat seriously, and was
prepared to drag the two to the lonesome
jail.
Prince OF Han offered the following reso.

LAND FRAUD DEFENSE RESTS
Attorneys Agree to Use But Three
Hours Each in Arguments.
CASE GOES 10 JURY TODAY
Lawyers for Defendant Land Dealers
BuiId Up sOIid Wall of Besist-
ance, Denying Every Phase
of Indictments.

Building a solid wall of resistance in less
than a day the defense In the land fraud
case tried before Judge T. c. Munger in
United States district court rested Just be-
fore the closing hour last evening. Ar
rangements were Immediately made for the
arguments and II was agreed that each
side would be satisfied with three hours.
This means that all OF today will be con
sumed by the attorneys in addressing the
Jury. into whose hands the case will pass
about 5 o'clock this evening.
With four witnesses, three Of whom are
the defendants in the land fraud case the
defense succeeded, apparently, in weakening
the whitening documentary evidence intro
duced by the prosecution, and as matters
now stand either side has a chance of win
ming. Even the instructions to the jury
this afternoon may not give an indication
OF who has the better of the argument.
The most important witness of the day
was George E. Townsend. one Of the de-
PENDANTS, and vice president Of the Western
Cattle and Land corporation at the time OF
the alleged conspiracy TO defraud the gov
ernment. He gave a general history Of the
Western Cattle and Land corporation, tell
ing OF its incorporation with s250OOO stock,
of which amount $3.50 was paid in, down
10 the time when he was forced 10 mort
gage his household furniture to keep up the
ranch.
Enters General Denial.
He made a general and detailed denial Of
the transactions of the company I'm so far
as they were alleged by the prosecution 10
have been fraudulent. Witnesses for the
government previously testified that the
corporation had agreed 10 build "shacks'
on the claims of the entrymen, but Mr.
Townsend declared these statements to be
untrue. In explaining why delegation
OF Omaha people was taken to the land
office at Sidney by the corporation to file
on land In or adjacent 10 the Fox ranch
the witness explained that offers OF loca-
tions were held forth as inducements only
10 stockholders IN the company. lie denied
in every way that there was any agreement
TO defraud the government, and that he
as well as his associates al all times acted
i'm good faith Whether or not the entry
men intended to establish residences on
the claims they secured he said emphat-
! icauy that he had no means Of telling.

Convention with Canada Ia Discussed
by House of Commons.
LONDON, Feb. 9.--The debate on the
opposition's fiscal amendment to the reply
10 the speech from the throne was resumed
IN the House OF Commons today by Alfred
Iytleton, former secretary OF state for
the colonies. who denied Premier Asquith's
statement that American-Canadian recipro-
city was inevitable.
Mr.. Isytleton said it was clear that up to
1907 the crucial period when Premier
I.aurier declared he did not wish recipro-
city with the United States and offered
preference to the United Kingdom, which
the British government refused the mood
Of Canada was against a commercial union
with the United States. The British gov
srnments refusal advarced by five or ten
years Canada's acceptance Of the Ameri-
can offer.
Mr. Asquith in reply. maintained that
the American Canadian reciprocity would
not affect any article in which the United
Kingdom was seriously concerned.
A. J.. Balfour leader of the opposition,
took the ground that what Mr.. Asquth
had termed an 'imposture" had received
the endorsement of every one OF tho
colonial premiers.
The root Of the governments objection
to colonial preference he said was their
disinclnation to treat the colonies better
than forcisn nations we're treated.

The laborites and the nationalsts voted
with the government
WASHINGTON, Feb s-The first gun
IN the congressional battle over Canadian
reciprocity was fired in the senate today
Senator Beveridge Of Indiana, an insur-
gent was the msrksman, and he lined up
on the side of the administration. He did
not make pretense Of representing others
Of the progressive republican camp
Mr.. BeverdRe welcomed the campact as
the first concrete evidence Of the estsb-
llshment OF such relations with Canada. as
he thought the United States should main
tain with a country so closely adjoned
physically and with a people so intimately
allied with Americans in kinship and In
terest. Contending for the importance Of
the principle involved, he urged the neces-
sity for prompt and decided action.
The details he said. were Of compare
lively little significance and might well be
left to future adjustment
FrieBdship Instead of Hostility,
Shall the United states and Canada be-
Gin the policy Of mutual trade concessions
and commercial friendliness? or shall we
make permanent the policy Of trade OBJ
struction and commercial hostility between
the countries"
Thus asking. Mr.. Beveridge said these
were the real questions which must be an
swered in dealing with the reciprocal agree
ment His general position was then an
nounced as follows
'lf some think that the agreement is not
all that it should be because of the treat
ment OF few articles. the answer that
even n this objection is sound as to those
few details yet Il is negligible when com
pared with Inc importance OF getting this
great national policy established
MIstakes Easily Corrected.
'if the agreement Is enacted into law
and proves beneficial to the nation as a
wrole, It Is certain TO be extended as tins
gces on and the two peoples experience It's
hood effect II. ON the other hand. IL
should prove harmful TO the nation as a
whole It could be repealed quickly.
we do not need TO protect our people
from the Canadian people. What we need
is TO make It easier for Canada to freely
buy from us the things IL needs and that
We produce What we need is TO make IL
easy for our people TO buy from Canada
those things which our people need instead
OF making IL hard for them to do So"
Argument was then presented to show
that the natural resources OF Canada
might be depended on to reduce the cost Of
living in this country and 10 replenish the
loss suffered by the premature destruction
