SOLDIERS STILL
GUARDING TRACK
Indiana Judge Hears Argr-
mentS and Takes Case
Under Amusement.

MICHIGAN CITY. IND, Oct, "a
Judge Harry B. Tuthill today heard the
petition of the officers of the Mineral
Springs Jockey club for an injunction
to prevent state interference with the
race track, then he took the matter I'M
der advisement AS a result the SOL
diers were left in possession of the
track for another day at least and no
racing was held today
After the arguments of the attorneys
for the petitioners We're in, Judge Tut
hill said there wete some points Of law
that were not clear to him and he
would nave t. consider them.
The track officials set forth the con
tention that the troopsyhad been quar-
tered at the race track in time Of peace
in violation of the rights guaranteed
under the United States constitution
and the constitution of Indiana
The petitioners lkened Governor
Thomas r. Marshall, at whose orders
the troops were sent to the track, TO
King George II, and asserted that he
was acting utterly without power
The petitioners asked that the court
orde3 the troops away from the track
and the petition be made permanent
against sending soldiers to the track.
Judge Tuthin set no definite date for
his decision He said il was an Unusual
contention and he was not sure who
would have the right to determine
whether state of peace existed, the
courts or the executive.
The petitioners further set forth that
if they we've deprived from carrying
out their racing program, they would
suffer a financial loss of $3.50 900 during
the next nine days. Attorney Grant
Crumpacker and A. f. Knots appeared
for the association.
The hearing was transferred from
the court Of Judge Mcmahon, in Val
paraiso. to judge Tuthill, in Michigan
City, late yesterday.

Uncertainty
Of Result.

Attorneys who have been following
the case declared that Becker ought TO
know his fate before night, but admit
ted that the outcome would depend
largely upon Justice COTS instructions
to the jury. The courts interpretation
of the law would have much to do
with the conviction or acquittal Of the
accused police official they said.
In no great murder trial Of the past
has there been so much uncertainty as
10 the outcome. Lawyers who have
figured in many famous murder trials
shook their heads when asked as to the
probable verdict in the Becker case, ana
frankly confessed that they could find
nothing on which to venture a predic-
tion
There was no betting on the verdict.
No odds we're offered, and If there had
been ii is not likely that any takers
would have been found one prominent
attorney experienced in murder trials,
said:
"A disagreement is probable, convic-
ton possible. acquittal improbable"
The most perfectly poised person IN
the court room was Mrs. Becker, wife
of the accused She smiled hopefully At
her husband as she paused on her way
to her seat to shake hands with Lieu
tenant John Becker brother of the
defendant
Becker was more carefully dressed
than at any time since the trial began
as ne was brought into court. He

A Georgia woman's eloquence coaxed
$505 from the treasures of the various
clubs in the Georgia federation at the
convention this afternoon, after the ma
tional president, Mrs. Percy V. Penny
hacker, had shown the great need of
funds in the national treasury 1t was
Mrs. H. H Tiff, of Triton Ga, who
swept the audience into contributing to
the national cause.
Mrs. Pennybacl1er a guest OF the
convention had just completed an adj
dress in which she showed that the
general federation suffered from lack
Of funds to pay for the tours of its Of
ficers and other heavy expenses. She
explained the proposed memorial to
Sarah Plat Decker, late president of
the organization, which is to take the
form of a $1,000 endowment fund, of
which the interest is to be devoted to
the expenses of the national president,
and she explained that Georgia's share
toward this Hund had been placed at
80 geo

Mrs. Tiff Takes Floor.

AS Mrs Pennybacker took her seat a
woman in a dark tailored suit and a hat
Of subdued tone rose and asked three
minutes to address the convention. She
was Mrs. Bessie Wilingham Tiff, wife
of Captain H. H. Tiff, one of the great
est lumber operators in south Georgia.
Mrs. Tiff is famous all over the state
for her philanthropy There is hardly
a needy institution which has. not had a
gift from her.
Reaching the platform, she spoke Of
the reverence In which all Georgia
women hold the memory of Mrs. Deck
er and announced that she would head
the states gift with 500. Then she
began a plea for liberality, and her fer
vent exhortations brought responses
from all parts Of the house. Represen-
tatives Of various clubs rose ana
pledged from s. to $40 from their or
CARNATIONS. The Atlanta Woman's club
gave $1Oo, and soon the total reached
$505.
The subscriptions 70 the general
fund, while perhaps greatly needed,
did not meet with hearty enthusiasm
from a number OF delegates who are
especially interested in the work of the
mountain schools and other institu-
tions supported by the Georgia fedora
ton.
These women all nave the hallelu-
jah spirit working on them now" re-
marked one. They'll give away all
the money in their club treasures and
there won't be anything left for our
school work"

duty TO correct those errors, and also
co see that each voucher is paid out
of the proper appropriations and also
ty see that the appropriate ions are in
conformity with the state conStitu-
tion. We have rejected many claims
for the reason that the appropriations
have not been proper; others for the
reason that vouchers have been pre-

that the State Auditor had no right
to pay such claims out of. Some of

are concerned, | will say that l be-
lieve that we have some of the best
men in the state at the head Of each
and that they are all good honest and
capable men and that they are all

Very often the State Auditors de-

fund vouchers should be paid out OF
presented by some of our state in
situations, and when Jul opinions
have differed, we have always pre-.
sented the matter to the Attorney
