DEFENSE HAS INNING.

Shelbyville. Ind, Dec. 3.-The de-
tense had its inning in the trial of
DR.. William B. Craig for the murder
OF DR.. Helene Knabe. in a three-hour
address by Henry Span, of the ac-
cused mans counsel. Craig pictured
a prosecuted man who could establish
a reputation for clean living through
the testimony Of a hundred witnesses
and produce Others TO swear III was
elsewhere until a late hour, at least,
on the night he is alleged to have
killed DR.. knabe in her apartment.
When the prosecution again as
sumed the aggressive and began the
Introduction Of witnesses in support of
its case, the defense met the attack
boldly. The hypothesis of murder
on n side is pitted against a suicide
theory on the other, and when the
day ended there was no testimony be-
fore h jury to show by what means
Dr.. Knabe came to her death.
Span asserted there vas nothing
in the relations Of his client with DR..
knabe to furnish a motive for the
crime with which Craig Is charged.
They were no o than friends
he said. land Craig could have had
no reason for desiring the woman's
death" DR.. Knabe he pictured as a
failure in her professional life, de.
spondent through %reverses in her
business career. He said many circum-
stances would be produced to sus.
tain the proba bility that she had died
by her own hand.

Washington. D.. c.. Dec. 3.-Dr. An
ma Howard Shaw. president of the
National Woman Suffrage association,
created a sensation at the convention
last night when she declared Pres
ident Wilson had fallen short Of the
greatest opportunity ever had or
will have in failing to say a word in
behalf Of woman suffrage when
he read his annual message. She said
She had hoped the president would
arise to the occasion. but while he
recognized the necessity for the ex-
tension Of the ballot TO the Filipino,
urged territorial voters rights for
Alaska. he failed to mention woman's
suffrage in his message.
Fear of bringing on a revolt that
might give the American militant
suffragettes' organization caused the
leaders in the National Woman Suf-
frage association to abandon their
efforts to adopt the new constitution
reported by the revision committee.
Advocates of rights for state ~assOcia-

posed budget system for raising the

pared.
