SECRETARY KNOX
 NOT INVITED ID
 VISIT COLOMBIA

Washington, March L-Robert Macdou- al. charge daffaires of the Colombian legation. tonight issued this statement:
 "The charge d'affaires of the Colombian legation said tonight that he was author ized by his government to state that Sec retary Knox was not invited to visit that country"
 Beyond this no explanation was forth coming from MT. Macdoual. The impress sion generally attached to 1t tonight was that while the Colombian government had earlier made it clear that Secretary Knox would be welcome if he desired to visit Colombia no actual invitation for him to do so had proceeded from the Colom- bian government
 seuor Pedro Ne Ospina, recently re- called by the Colombian government as minister here. has not left the country, but he did not comment on the new am nouncement

Majority Blocks Resolution

Jackson Miss, March 7.---As se- quel 10 the resolution adopted sev- eraf days ago by the Mississippi legis- lature demanding that United States Senator Leroy Percy tender his resigna- ton, friends of MT Percy sought to have adopted in the house today a resolution asking the United States Senate to investigate charges of fraud relative to the election of MT. Percy by the last legislature to fill an un expired term. After bitter debate, at tended with much confusion and the shaking of fists, he resolution was voted down and then by a vote of 7s to 32 ordered expunged from the rec ord
 In the resolution 1t is pointed out that the adoption of the memorial asking Mir Percy 10 resign would convey the idea that his election in some way was tainted with fraud and hence an iD- quiry by the United States senate would be in order.
 After the excitement subsided one man who voted for th- resolution said
 'It was minority maneuYer framed for the purpose of putting the Narda- man majority on record as opposed to any form of an investigation of the United States Senate of any charges or countercbarges growing out of the sen atorlal contest The next move will likely be to send by Senator Percy's friends a signed memorial to Washing ton setting forth the facts In rela - tio to the Mississippi senatorial mud dle. Faction linesfin the democratic party of Mississippi are drawn between those indorsing former Governor Yard aman. elected at the last election to suc- ceed MT. Percy. and those championing g the cause of the present United States senator

ATTORNEYS ARGUE MOTION ID OD|SM|SS Claim the Government Has Failed to Prove the
 Charges Made

Chicago. March 7.-United States District Judge George A. Carpenter was asked today to take the packers case from the jury and discharge the ten defendants accused of criminal viola r. tion of the Sherman law on the ground that the government had failed to prove the offenses described in Inc indict- ment.
 The motion was made at the opening of the court in benalf of J. ogden Ar mour, Arthur Meeker, Thomas J. Con ners Louis F. swift. Edward r. Swift, Charles H. Swift, Francis A. Fowler, Edward Morris, Louis II !, lteyman and Edward Tiiden by AttHsey John 5. Miller
 The entire morning was occupied by argument of Attorney Miller in sup port of the motion and he was followed by Attorney Levy Mayer?
 Argument by counsel for the defense on the motion will be continued to- morrow and District Attorney wilkcr- son will argue for the government.
 It is expected that the arguments will be concluded Saturday and that Judge Carpenter will give his decision on the motion next Monday.
 Attorney Levy Mayer for tho de- fense, said in part
 "Remove the evidence of the Needer beef pool meetings held prior to 1912 and the only thing in the record of this case which the government might possibly contend applies to the charges in the indictment. is the testimony in regard to the use of the test cost sys- tenn used by the defendants,
 We do not concede that this test cost system was uniform. bu. even If it was, 1t is not a criminal act or a violation of the Sherman law. These defendants and their business have been the butt of political, soeialist,c and communistic attack for years. Sup pose for arguments sake, they were engag ged in the dry goods business and found 1t necessary to use the test cost system would the court say that the government has proved that they are guilty of conspiracy in restraint of trade? You would not You could rot on the evidence presented.
 Remove all suspicion, cut gut all theory, eliminate all guess work and there is nothing left of the govern ments case.
 Intent Is necessary engrediert of produced to show that these men pur- posely and consciously combined in violation of the Sherman law"
