DEFENSE MOVES TO
HAVE Jury ACQU|T
DR.. WILLIAM CRAIG
Judge Blair Will Announce
Decision on Motion To-

It's Case


SheIbyville. Ind. December S.-fheSiAe-
ton to have the jury acquit DR.. William
b. Craig on a charge of having muir
dered DR.. Helene Knabe made by the
defense in Craig's trial here today, was
taken under advisement by Judge Alonzo
Blair who will announce his decision to-
morrow
Attorney H. n. Spaan for the defense,
in asking that the jury be instructed to
free his client, declared that the state S
evidence seemed to prove that DR.. Knabe
had been murdered. The defense had con-
tended that the physician committed SUI
eide
1T is a far cry from the proposition
that DR.. Knabe was murdered to the
proposition that DIR. Craig did it," Mr..
Sloan said.
State Rests Case
The state rested its case at noon with
the completion of the examination of Miss
August knabe, cousin of the dead ply
sician.
The defense moved to take the case
from the jury and dismiss DR.. Craig.
The motion was argued at length.
Miss Knabe denied that either she or
Miss Katherine Mcpherson, DIR. Knabe' $
office girl, who found the body, tried to
cover up any evidence that the physi-
clan may have committed suicide.
She told of the friendly relations be-
tween DR. Craig and DIR. Knabe and de-
clared 1t was II o'clock when Miss Nc
Pherson called the defendant and told
him of the physicians death. DR.. Craig
is alleged to have remarked earlier in
the day that DR.. Knabe was murdered.

FOOD SHARKS" OF
COUNTRY ATTACKED
BY MIR. M'KELLAR
Cold Storage Spectators Referred to
as "Vultures of the Market Places"
by Tennessee Congressman.
Regulation Urged

Washington, December S.-"Nora cions
vultures of the market places" and
''plunderbund of food sharks" We're char
acterizations applied to cold storage
Spectators who corner perishable food
stuffs to boost prices by Representative
Mcclellan of Tennessee. when he spoke
today, championing his bill for federal
regulation of the cold storage business.
Saying that his proposed legislation was
not designed to injure the cold storage
business, as such, Mr.. Mcclellan declared:
THE drastic features of the bill are
only aimed at the corrupt and dishonest,
at the gamblers, at the voracious vul-
lures who stand around in the market
places and reap where they have not
sown and fatten on other peoples food
l do not believe any member of this great
House will stand up for any such plum
derbund of food sharks"
The McKellar bill, which would pre-
scribe both prison terms and heavy fines
for violation of it's provisions, would
make it illegal to ship adulterated and
misbranded food products In interstate
commerce and would limit the periods In
which food products may be held In
storage without becoming adulterated
Reviewing the data produced by the
Senate committee which investigated the
high cost of living, Mr.. Mcclellan sub
mitted further statistics intended to show
that packers and warehousemen corner
markets on foodstuffs deliberately to in
crease profits. He asserted that those
men would insist that the federal gov
ernment should leave the regulation to
the states.
Il cannot conceive" Mr.. Mckelar de-
cared, amy greater crime against the
public than concerning of the market of
foodstuff Almost every housewife in
this country is complaining at the high
cost of eggs and we find these gamblers
not only cornering the price of eggs and
reaping unfair and unjust profits from 1t,
but actually laughing at the public MY
bill would put these gamblers out Of
business and would give the consumer
chance"
Profits of from 100 per cent to 200 per
cent were made by the egg kings on
storage eggs Mr.. Mcclellan asserted.

TWO SENATORIAL
BALLOTS IN SPRING
PRIMARY PROBABLE
State Executive Committee
Considering Plan as Most
Acceptable, Declares
Tyler Goodwin
nvh (. GElgTf


MONTGOMERY, December G.-tspecial.) }
When the state democratic executive
committee meets in montgomery, jan
uary :, to select the date of the spring
primary primaries, IL is more than
likely that the committee VIII au-
thorize the nomination In the first
primary of two senatorial candidates
one for the short term nnd one for the
long term. beginning March. 4, 1915.
statement to this effect was made
this afternoon by Tyler Goodwin. chair-
man of the executive committee, who ex-
pressed himself as being heartily in favor
of two senatorial ballots in the same pri-
mary
1t is by no means certain that the ap-
pointment of Frank p. Glass to the SEN
ate will be confirmed" said Mr.. Good
wyn, land l am therefore in favor of al
lowing the people of the state to vote for
two senatorial nominees in the spring
primary, one for the short term and one
for the long. If nominee for the short
term is named. he will be the choice II
the people in the special election which
the governor may call If the Poindexter
resolution passes.
"Of course, | think ii would be the sense
of the state democratic executive COM
mittee that neither Oscar w. Underwood
nor captain r. p. Hobson enter the prl-
mary for the short term, and the commit
tee might entleavor to ascertain the in
tentions of these gentlemen before au-
thorizing a primary for the short sena-
torial term
Favor Plan
Mr. Goodwin said the matter had been
brought to his attention by several mem
bers of the committee and by other pc
litical leaders, all of whom were in favor
of the plan According to the chairman
of the executive committe, the new ad-
dition by primary of candidate for the
short term would leave a clear course
open 10 the people in the event the Poin-
dexter resolution, providing for the call
ing of special election by the governor
pending the ratification of the seven
teenth amendment by the state legisla-
ture should receive favorable action by
the two branches of the national Con-
gress. This resolution has already been
favorably reported by the Senate com
mittee, ana IL is unuefslood that II VIII be
adopted without any serious opposition
Mr. Goodwin would not say whether he
favored a double or single primary. but
he did not hesitate to discuss the expense
which double primary would entail.
Cost $4,000
IF we have a second primary" he de-
clared "it will cost not less than $16O OC0.
and | think the candidates would find this
very expensive coming on the heels of the
first primary. However this is a matter
for the committee to decide Mr.. Good
wyn intimated that he thought the COM
mittee would select April or May for the
date of the primary. If two primaries
are authorized, the first will probably be
held about the first week in April and
the second a few weeks later. The chair
man of the executive committee declared
that he favored a primary for all candi-
dates. announcing strong opposition to the
convention plan

statement to the war department:
Consulted with citizens relief COM
mittee and estimate there were 1900

10,000 negroes and 1900 whites Approx
matey 1000 had been rescued and 10000
are still in the bottoms marooned in gin
houses and on the roofs of houses. Prac-
tically all are destitute and rations, cloth
ing and blankets are needed. They now
have 100 tents obtained from a college.
One thousand more rations will be needed
for 10 days or two weeks and it is recon-
mended that $500 rations and 1000 blank
cts be rushed to Bryan for immediate

General Bliss said he had collected the
necessary rations and blankets and Sec
