ky Automobile Company, Louisville,
delivered an able talk at the store
Of the j.. f. Martin Coal and Supply

another in the evening at Z o'clock.
The lectures were devoid of tech

teresting to the large crowds pres
ent. The speaker had with him va
rious parts of an automobile and to
make it still clearer to his hearers.
he had on hand a cut-out chassis by
means of which the entire assembled
machine was examined and explain
ed to the greatest advantage. This
chassis was especially prepared for
these lectures and is in every way
like the cut-Out chassis that will be
exhibited at the New York. Chicago.
and other national automobile shows
this winter.
The lectures were of an education
al nature. with the idea of giving the
public generally a comprehensive
knowledge of the automobile and
gasoline engine.

better posted on the subjest of au-
tomobiles than is Mr. Barnett and
his lectures on the subject were a
source of much interest and benefit
to his hearers.

counter FIotiIla of Turkish Gum

which has been securing the coast of
the Red Sea in search of Turkish
war vessels and ships conveying con-
traband destined fer the Turkish
garrison in Arabia, encountered the
fotilla of Turkish gunboats and at
once opened fire.
The Turks replied but their feeble
armament succumbed to the superior
weapons of the Italian war vessels.
The fight was stiff but soon ended
in the victory of the Italians.
As soon as the three Italian war
ships encountered the turkish gun
beats short distance out of the bay
of Kunfida they sent shots across
their bows and called on them to
surrender. The Turkish vessels
gave no signs of compliance and the
Italians Immediately opened a ter
rife fire. throwing in Il hail of shells
from their brOadsides.
The Turkish gunners replied feebly
but did not succeed in striking the
Italian vessels.
All seven of the Turkish boat,
were soon on fire and in a few min
utes began to sink. Boats were low
cred from the Italian warships which
picked up many Turkish seamen but

CONSPIRACY TO

Was The Whole Bribery Charge
Says Senator William LOrimer.-
Delneen And Newspapers.

W. shingtOn, Jan. 13.-When Sen
ator Lorimer resumed his testimony
Frid: before the Senate Investigat-

Hines testified that Funk told him
that he supposed Lorimer had been
put to great expense, and he was
will ne to help make it up. Hines
said he mentioned the matter to Lor-
inner, and Lorimer told him he did
not have any expenses in getting the
election.
Lorimer said he did not recall any
thing having been said about Funk :
desire to contribute to his campaign
found. He did remember Hines had
told him Funk wanted to meet him.
but he replied that Funk was one of
his bitterest enemies.
Senator Lorimer said that the

BIames LeBus Fer Society

Mr.. Maxwell, Mr.. Eshelby's leadir :
counsel, blamed the organization of
the Burnley Tobacco Society on Pres,
ident Clarence LeBus. He said the
society was organized by Mr.. LeBus
because the latter had tobacco wh;c
he wanted to pool and to sell on the
best side if it were more profitable
TO sell on the outside.
He laid great stress upon the claim
that Mr.. Eshelby's company was re-
quired to buy tobacco which it lie
not want. did not need and could nci
use.
"Those requirements" said he.
''and that situation were harsh, deS-
potic and unamerican.'
He asked that damages be return
ed on the basis of the difference in
what Mr.. Eshelby's share of the to-
bacco sold at Winchester cost and
what it would have sold at had not
the Burley Tobacco Society, Gan lille
gal combination in restraint Of
trade" have existed.

Basis of The Suit

The action was brought as the re-
suit of the purchase of tobacco at
Winchester, KY. in 1907. by the
Eshelby Tobacco Company, for which
the price of IL cents a pound was
paid and which price the plaintiff de-
clared, in its petition. was in excess
if what it should have been. because
of the fact that the Burley Tobacco
Society controlled the Burley Tobac-
co crop of that year.
The case has been in progress for
nearly two weeks and was given to
the jury Friday evening. The jury
deliberated for two hours. The en-
tire day was taken up with argu-
ments by the attorneys for both sides

Detail of Case Covered

All the details of the case were
gone over carefully by the attorneys
in their closing arguments. Judge
Humphrey likened the Burley Tobac-
co Society to the seven sticks. which
in tabled tradition. could be broken
singly but not altogether or in one
bundle. He said it was necessary
that the growers Of tobacco in Ken
lucky league together to protect
themselves and the formation of the
society was not to put up prices. but
to keep them from going ruinously
down.
Judge Humphrey called attention
to the fact that the Burnley Society is
a society composed of $4,000 farm
ers, the majority of whom did not
raise more thaa four acres of tobac-
co.
Colonel Alien touched upon the .ot
of the poor tenant in the field, who
had family to raise, clothe and pro
vide with other means of living.

the case Of the plaintiff. particularly
that feature Of the failure to show
what had become of the tobacco

He said it was more than probable
that the Independents who bought the

colorless medium for presenting the facts. They generally have the attitude of prov ing the accused guilty. Through the third degree" and by milder methods they constantly suggest what they have assumed to be true.
 Then after the police come the lawyers, who set mp the case according to their various interests while al the tral the presiding justice Is often more interested n legal technicalities than in the mere facts in the case. In all of this somehow the plain, straightforward truth is apt to be lost sight of and justice miscarrN. Tho day may not be far distant when q psy- chological expert shall be attached to every law court.
 lt would be the duty Of the psychological expert not only to examine witnesses, as previously suggested, but to detelmne by well recognized tests their ability to testify. By submitting them to the pie ture or the event test he could ascertain, among other things. their degree of as- surance-in other words, their tendency to tell more or less than they are actually sure Of. Much has been said and written in recent years in regard 10 the failure of justice and the burden of the laws delay. The remedy for these evils has been mainly sought in reforming court procedure on it's legal and technical sides. What We need perhaps as much as this is a reform in the practical meth- ods of getting al the truth When this is done the respect for the courts will be greatly increased. In the meantime the fudge should take il upon himself 10 see that the witness has a fair chance 10 tell the truth and that his knowledge of the event Is befogged neither by the insidious nattery nor the unfair bullying of the at torneys.
