cause Attorney Used Phrase
Beaten the Case"

The use Of slang by members OF the
legal profession and Its effect upon the
complex constitution of the human
mind" formed the basis OF an opinion
rendered to-day by Justice Delany In
the supreme Court. His Honor denied
the application OF Patrick Callahan, con.
vlcted OF burglary In the third degree,
for a certificate OF reasonable doubt.
The point upon which the application
was based was this question asked Of q
character witness by the District
Attorney:
Don't you know that in March, 1910,
this defendant was reputed to have com.
United grand larceny and to have beaten
the caseT"
The phrase beaten tho case was the
one objected to as having mad the effec,
OF p%rejudicing tho Jury.
1T Is. OF course, impossible 10 say
how men sitting In judgment may be
affected by what Is said or lone before
them" said Justice Delany. and 1t Is
not within the contemplation of men tu
insure against prejudice arising from
unlntenional suggestion IN such Ease.
The imperfection of nature and the
complex constitution OF human mind
make such a condition unattainable

1t became known here today that
an American cavalryman who de-

the desert, and. crazed by thirst,
wandered down into Mexico, where il
is believed he died. The man was
first located by a comrade who was
sent out to find him. and he was then
in a pitiable condition. As the ldier

returned for help. An effort TO
again find the man failed, and it is
almost certain that he perished.

ALLEGED RECEIVER OF
SLUSH FUND AT CAPITAL.

Springfield, ILL.,, April o. Edward
Tilden, president of the National
Packing company Of Chicago. who
was yesterday named by Clarence $.
Funk, general manager OF the Inter-
national Harvester company, as the
receiver of an alleged 100000 Lori
mer slush fund. for more than an
hour today walked about the capitol
building here, trying to deliver him
self to the Helm bribery committee
under a subpoena served upon him
yesterday in Chicago.
The subpoena directed him to APP
pear before the Helm committee to-
day. 1t was made out by the commit
tee prior to the taking OF c. 5
Funk's testimony yesterday. Through
somo oversight the committees pro
cess server failed to notify Mr.. Til
den Of the adjournment of the com.
mittee until next Thursday. and tha
in consequence his presence woult
not be necessary until that time. Al
soon as Mr.. Tilden learned Of this HI
returned to Chicasa.
fldth vi III i1Siol0tif
circles enabled Mr.. Tilden to roam
through the state house without hi
presence being known by the report
ers who were on his trail. Persons
to whom Tilden applied for informa
ton did not know him and he die
not make his identity known.
Unable to find Chairman Helm
Mr.. Tilden sought Senator Logan, an
other member of The senate bribery
committee. To the senator he ex
planned that the subpoena directed
his presence before the committed
this afternoon. Senator Hay ex'
planned the error made in not notify
ing Tilden of the adjournment ant
released him until next Thursday.
Senator Hay informed no one of the
matter and Mr.. Tllden returned t'
Chicago on train this Afternoon
without being interviewed.
Despite the fact that the inquisitors
are keeping their plans secret, man,
house members gained the impression
that the committee was prepared t.
summon them.
Subpoenaing house members vii
undoubtedly result in a clash between
the two bodies the outcome of which
cannot be foreseen

Salt Lake City, Utah, April 6.--The
position of the church of Jesus Christ
OF Latter Day Saints or as Il is COM

marriage was reiterated today by
President Joseph +. Smith In his SER
mon opening the eighty-first annual
conference Of the church.
He said In part:
1--WE ought to obey the rule of the
church with regard to marriage. AS
announced time and time again at
these conferences plural marriages
have ceased in the church. There is
no man authorized to perform plur-
al marriage, We have been doing all
in our power to stop this. We have
been doing all we can to trace the
men who are performing these cere-
monies. 1t Is hard to locate them,
but when we do find them. we will
deal with them.
