 Guadalupe Valdez also testified that Garcia was dressed in white that night; at least he wore white pants, white shirt and a white hat Gauda- lupe Valdez was with him that even ing. She corroborated the Orajuana woman in the description of his clothes. When the clothes were in troduccd in evidence. a black be- spattcred suit that Garcia had ac- knowledGed as his. worn the night of the tragedy. was shown. Tn the pockets of this was a black silk hat also a white silk hat.
 It is asserted that hc was contin- ualIy with the parts of two suits, so that he might establish continual alibi The black clothes are of light weight and made of excellent mate rial.
 Many other witnesses were exam ined during the day, including the fireman who found the knife lying near the railroad track, and the en- gineer that saw the fireman pick mp the knife: also officers who were with Wilkerson and Morrill, during the night assisting in the search. The state is about ready to rest it's case. Today, early, the defense will begin the presentation of it's side. All through the trial so far Garcia has preserved the same insolent de meanor He appears absolutely un- moved by either the evidence or the exhibits. The breastbonc of his vic tim and the bloody clothes of the night alike have failed to move him.

DEFENSE HAS INNING
ASSOCIATED PREss n1spArc111


 SHELBYVILLE, Dec. 2-The de- fense had it's inning today in the trial of Dr. William Craig for the murder of Dr. Helen Knabe At the morning session. a vigorous assault was directed against the states case outlined yesterday. Tn the three hour address by Henry N. Spaan of counsel for the accused man, Dr. Craig was exhibited as a persecuted man who not only could establish a reputation for clean living through the testimony of one hundred wit nesses, but who also could produce other witnesses to swear that he was elsewhere until a late hour at least on the night he is alleged to have killed pr. Knabe in her flat.
 When the day ended there was no testimony before the jury to show whether pr. Knabe had been mur- dered or committed suicide. Spaan declared there was nothing in the relations of his client with pr. Knabe to furnish a motive for the crime with which Dr. Craig is charged.

der the provision requiring payment
of an income tax on the basis OF TWO
per cent. on all above $4,000.
The comparatively poor man.
whose income from stock DIVIDENDS
is less than $4,000, while he escapes

Between $4,000 and $4,000 they are
subject to a one per cent. tax; over

President Wilson has asked the at
torney-general to examine into the
constitutionality of the new Arizona
law providing for an advisory refer-
endum on the appointment OF federal
judges. II will be recalled that Judge
Sloan was nominated by President
TAFT for federal Judge OF the Arizona
district, but his nomination was NOT
confirmed by the senate. The In
tense feeling in Arizona over the at
tempt to appoint Sloan, who was re-.
garded as a corporation tool. resulted
in the adoption of the present novelty
In legislation--a scheme by which the
people vote on various candidates and
inform the president by their majority
vote that they would like to have q
certain man nominated as federal
Judge.
Nobody insists that this action Is
binding on the president. Ii Is mere
ly for his guidance President Wilson
learned OF the new law and the pres
ent activities In giving 1t first trial
from Senator Ashurst. The presi'
dent says that he will wait for re-
port from Attorney General Mercy
nolds before filing the office. He has
not committed himself az to whether
or not he will accept the recommends

Is There an American Essen

Outside OF the United States no In
dustry ever had greater favor than
that OF the Krupps. manufacturers Of
steel, at Essen, Prussia. 1t has been
protected by royal and imperial favor,
by social recognition, by legislation
local and general, and by what 10
financially more important than all
elsa tariff.
To encourage the sacrifices on the
part of the German people necessary
to build up this Industrial principally.
appeals had to be made to patriotism.
1t was with Krupp guns that the sue
cessful wars with Denmark, Austria
and France we're waged. In the popu-
lar imagination, Krupp artillery pro-
duced and sustained the, empire. No
products of that establishment ever
had been or ever would be sold to
France.
1t now appears that this papnered
industry has been bribing employees
Of the German war office to gain Of
fetal secrets of value to itself, and
that 1t has been spending money In
France to stimulate hostility to Ger
many with the purpose Of creating q
demand for It's output The proofs
are at hand. There are honest men
IN the German parliament who call
this treason.
Perhaps II the American people
were to look about them they would
find themselves in q situation not
radically different. We also have our
jingoes. We also are entreated to
arm. to drill, to be ready to tight. We
also are asked to tremble at the man

our case japan. We also are told that

MIR. Bryan's Diplomacy

Now that Dollar Diplomacy Is
dead" says Secretary Bryan IN a not
Z able interview appearing elsewhere
! In this issue OF The World. the
wounds OF the past will soon be heal
| ed" His reference 10 the death or
Dollar Diplomacy follows statement
10 the effect that President Wilson's
action with reference TO the Chinese
loan marked an era" II is no new
diplomacy which is To be introduced
1T is simply return 10 the diplo-
! macy OF earlier years. Ii is the appli-
cation OF common sense. common
honesty and plain. everyday morality
10 our national affairs.
Mr.. Bryan has a perfect understand
ing Of the Dollar Diplomacy that Is
dead. He has not been deceived by
the bookkeepers and statisticians. He
Is quite clear in his distinction be-
tween legitimate business and specu.
latiye business that is promoted by
favor and trickery and power. He sees
many reasons why our representa-
times In Central and South America
should be disinterested. Like millions
OF his countrymen, he can find no rea-
son for their employment as agents at
friendly capitals OF greedy private IN
terests
AS the first important public utter
ance OF the new secretary OF state,
this interview must be highly reassur-
ing both at home and abroad. II is
a declaration In precise words that
the government OF the United States
In its foreign relations Is no longer
to be enlisted In the degrading SER
vice of the United States In It's for.
eign relations is no longer to be en-
listed in the degrading service of Big
Business exclusively. II Is a guaran
tee to Latin-America that the practices
which for some years past have caus-
ed SO much injury to normal inter-
course are 10 be abandoned.
There Is nothing visionary in Mr.
Bryan's theory that conscience and
character may go hand In hand with
profitable commerce. II may sound
new to some people, but II is as old
as American independence. It Is bot
toned on American equality. II Is
one of the fundamentals OF American
justice.--New York World

income over $4,000 a stakeholder
pays one per cent. and above $4,000

1t is pointed out by the friends OF

II the corporation were compelled TO
pay the graduated tax, 1t would fall
on the holders OF one share In the
same proportion as the holder OF 10

collecting from investors and exempt
ing the small stock incomes prevents
this and places the heavier burden OF
taxation on the large stakeholder, who
has a comparatively larger income.
But why not dodge the stock In

IDENTIFIED HIS MAN AT LAST
College, Oxford, 1t Is Necessary
to Be Quite Explicit.

IL was at Jesus college, Oxford, that
one of the most laughable stories con-
nected with that university originated.
Jesus college is chiefly patronized by
Welshmen.
A Cardiff resident, visiting the city
for the first time, bethought himself
that at Jesus college was a young man
he knew in the Welsh capital, so he re-
solved to call on him. Accordingly he
tackled the porter of the college.
is Mr.. Jones in?"
Which Mr.. Jones?" was the reply
There are 27 Joneses in this college"
Mr.. Jones of Cardiff, sir"
There are IS Joneses from Cardiff, .
exclaimed the psrrter, impatiently.
Whats his Christian name?"
David, sir"
There are ten David Joneses from
Cardiff here" answered the official.
You must be more explicit. What
kind of hair has he?"
Red, sir"
There are six David Joneses from
Cardiff with red hair in Jesus" said
ihe porter. What kind of eyes has
he?"
We'll, just a wee bit of cast in
them" was the reply.
There are three David Joneses from
Cardiff with red hair and with Slight
cast in their eyes" burst from the
angry man at the lodge. Has your
Mr. Jones any other peculiarity?"
He's bit lame on one foot, sir"
Now, why didn't you say so at
tirst? Up stairs, first to the right ssc-
ond to the left, third to the right again.
At No Is is the only David Jones from
Cardiff with red hair, slight cast md
a lame foot. Why didn't you say so
before ?''-Stray Stories.
