A verdict of not guilty was returned
by the jury in the case of Miss Beat

having drawn deadly weapon upon
Mrs. Harry Bookhart, yesterday after
noon in police court. The jury did not

clared that Miss Pierce had the right
to draw the revolver upon Mrs. Book.
hart, who had gone to the Pierce
home, southwest of the city to ascer-
tain if her husband were with Miss
Pierce. The attorney for the defense
asserted that the evidence had shown
that Miss Pierce had ordered Mrs
Bookhart from the premises, that the
latter had refused to go; and that Mrs
Bookhart had buggy whip in her
hand. He also pointed out that Mrs
Bookhart went to the Pierce home
armed with bottle of vitrol, and cit
ed evidence showing that Miss Pierce
had not drawn a gun until Mrs. Book
hart grabbed her by the throat.

county Emerges in School
Tax Disbursement.

The final report from the Treasurer
of Indiana was received today by
County Treasurer Albertson. This con-
cludes the final apportionment of
school funds for this period of the
year. The report for Wayne county
shows that more money was paid to
the state by the county than was re-
turned, while Brown, Crawford and
Martin, all received more than paid
in. The amount per capita is $217.
The report for Wayne county is as
follows:
Number of school children. 1928:
Amount derived from the state school
tax. s26, ,194.S4; Interest since the
last apportionment, s6,360,03; Total
amount paid into the state treasury,

portioned out, $22,29241.
Brown county paid in $2,567.57 and
received from the state S5,676.72
Crawford paid in 3,64173 and received
$7,9s3.43. Benton county was perhaps
the heaviest loser having paid in ST.,

SENATOR LOR|MER
SPEAKS FOR SELF
Tells Senate He Has Been
the Victim of a News
paper Conspiracy.
(National News Association)

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Senator
Lorimer of Illinois took the floor in
his own defense at 1890 in the SEN
ate today. AS he took his position
in the rear of the main aisle and be-
gan to speak senators began to come
into the chamber and accorded him
close attention. 1t was the first time
gan that there had been anything like
a quorum present.
The Illinois senator spoke with
great fervor and earnest ness. He
said it was in the power of the senate,
subject to no review, to deny him a
seat upon the most trivial pretense,
but he would show by the evidence
that not one single vote cast for him
in the Illinois legislature was i'm
properly obtained. To deny him a seat,
declared, under the circumstances
would be a travesty on Jurisprudence
and a mockery of Justice; it would
show that the senate had decided to
follow the red flag of anarchy and
adopt the recall advocated by Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the arch champion of
the destruction of the American con-
stitution.
Senator Lorimer charged that a
newspaper conspiracy existed in Chi
cago to drive him out of political life,
and said that if there was a prosecut-
ing attorney in Cook county who
would do his duty the newspaper trust
consiprators would now be in the pen
itentiary.
These conspirators he charged to be
Victor F. Lawson of the Record Her
aid and the owners of the Chicago
Tribune. He then proceeded to show
how these newspapers and Mr.. Law
son were looting the public treasury
of the county out of hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually and that
because he had opposed them they had
conspired to drive him from public
life. He showed facts and figures to
prove that the Tribune, if the present
assessment on it's property stands for
the ninety years term of it's lease,
would rob the city of Chicago of $6,-
100000. He presented similar figures
regarding the Daily News property To-
Gated on school board land. Assessed
! on valuation at 81 foot the property
across the street, he said, was valued
at $500 a foot. He said that Victor
Lawson's wealth was estimated at
! S2o,0o0,000 but he paid taxes on $12O,-
600. The Daily News, worth $15,000,-
! 900, he said, paid taxes on SS60,000
only, and thus robbed the treasury of
! $160,000 a year

lBritain's Plea for Senate's
Delay on Canal Measure
Until Protest Arrives, Was
Turned Down.
STATE DEPARTMENT
TAKES FIRM STAND
But Assures England that
: Debating on the Bill Will
Not Be Concluded Until a
Protest Is Filed.
(National News Association)

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Secretary
of State Knox today informed Great
Britain through Alfred Innes, coun-
celor of the British embassy, that the
United States must decline to defer
action on the Panama canal bill now
pending in the senate until the receipt
of the formal British protest against
the passage of the bill.
The secretary of state added that
There are number of other measures
which will precede the Panama bill
An the senate and the time consumed
in debate probably will be sufficient
to permit of the filing of the British
protest. Great Britain in her objec-
ton of the measure 'claims that the
preferential treatment given to Amer
lean coastwise ships over foreign YES
sells is violation of the Hay-Paunce-
forte treaty, insuring the free and
equal use of the canal to the vessels
of commerce of all the world.
Knox Won't Discuss 1t.
TO discuss the protest either formally
or informally until the senate acts
on the bill.
Senator Brandagee, chairman of the
lsenate committee on interocean ca
nails. today made public the text of the
notification of the pending protest by
Great Britain. The notice was receiv-
ed under date of July from acting
secretary of state Huntington Wilson
and read as follows:
Il have the honor to quote for your
information the text of a telegram this
day received from the charge d. af-
fairs of Great Britain as follows:
"1 shall shortly be in a position to
make communication to you regard
ing the bill now in the senate on the
subject of Panama canal dues. l trust
that it may be possible in the mean.
while to postpone the further consid
Grafton of that bill by congress-"
Senator Brandagee denied knowl
edge of the basis that the British
government may take for it's com
plaint and declined to discuss the eff.
feet of free tolls for American ships
on the treaty rights of Great Britain
He pointed out the provision of the
Panama canal bill and stated that not
one member of his committee favored
every provision of the bill so it is not
possible to make even a majority re,
port.

Fireman Barchier. of the freight. is at

will recover, but as yet little hope 10
entertained for Fodrea's recovery.
Supt. Mary Sellers, Of the Reid Hos
pital stated this morning that Fodrea's
condition is considered extremely criti.
cal and that it is impossible. at this
time, to state whether or not he will
recover.
Just how the accident happened is
not known. Engine s0s2. which had
been cut off an eastbound freight
train at the Sixth street crossing to go
after a supply of water at Twelfth
street, was backing up to couple onto
the train. Engine STA. which had been
cut off passenger train No. 1. known
as the Chicago train. arriving here at
11:40, was enroute to the engine
house. BY some unknown reason both
engines were on the same track and
collided, before the engineers could
stop or throw on the reverse.
Both locomotives were considerably
damaged. Engineer Gibson was thrown
in such a manner as to break his
right leg. The steam pipes of the pas
senger engine bursted, scalding Fod-
rea. Fireman Barchier. OF the freight
engine was thrown to the ground.

MAYOR ASKS
THE PUBLIC
TO MEETING

IL the citizens want the city to pay
for its street lighting the taxes will
have to be raised, stated Mayor Zim-
norman at the meeting of the board
of public works this morning. The
mayor declared that very few i'm
provements are to be made next year,
as the city has about $4,000 to pay
off then.
Il say, let the taxes remain where
they are" said the mayor. They are
high enough now, but / am going to
put this question before the city coun-
cilmen at the next meeting and let
them decide il. / want to invite all
business men, professional men and
laboring men to the next council meet
ing and then let them fight it out"
Mayor Zimmerman expressed the
opinion that the loss of the patronage
of one large manufacturing concern
last week. by the city light plant
would not affect il in the least He de-
clared that in his opinion the with
drawal of the company's support from
the municipal plant was nothing but
a political move.
But don't you believe that the city
should pay for the street lighting and
| that the sooner it does this the quick
er the Improvements at the plant will
be made and the sooner the plant will
be paid for7" the mayor was asked.
Well If council wants 10 raise the
taxes we viii pay for the street light
! ing. Was the answer.
