WATSON WINS HIS SUIT
Georgia Editor Defeats Government in
Effort to Convict on Charge Of Send j.
ing Obscene Matter Thru MaiIs-ln-
dictment Declared Faulty.

Augusta. Ga, Oct. 21.-The trial here
OF Thomas E. Watson. charged with
sending obscene matter thru the mails.
ended abruptly at noon today when
Federal Judge Rufus e. Foster sustain
ed the motion Of the defense quashing
the indictment against the Georgia ed :
itor.
In directing that the indictment be
quashed Judge Foster said:
1T appears in this indictment that
the publications alleged to have been
sent thru the mails in violation of the
law are extracts from a complete ar
ticle. 1t is my opinion that the gov
ernment is required to plead the entire
article and Is not entitled to pick out
a few paragraphs here and there and
make them the basis Of an Indictment"
He added that If the government
were allowed to pursue such a course
It would b possible TO iniict G PRISON for
sending thru the mails copy of the
bible. Judge Foster said that In sus-
tanning the motion he was not ruling
on the question as to whether or not
the articles were obscene and the gov
ernment might at any time proceed to
reindict.

Called Back to Washington BY Wire.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Demands that
senators either resign or go to work. f"
that absent members be brought back
to Washington by the "use Of any
force that may be necessary" and
that the miserable pretense Of try
ing to do business without quorum
be ended" marked the opening Of to-
days session of the senate.
Leaders Of both sides joined in the
demand that the farce" of frecent pro-
ceedings be ended.
Senator LaFollette, leading the fight
for the enactment Of the seamen's bill.
began the attack on senate absentees,
but it was taken up and vigorously
endorsed by Senator Kern, democratic
leader, and Senators Borah, Cummins
and others.
Senator Cummins said the body had
allowed itself to get into "humiliat-
ing position" and Senator Borah added
that members should be kept in Wash
ington and take up many important
subjects put of.
I'm in favor Of the exercise Of all
the powers at our command to bring
a quorem here" declared Senator
Kern. "It would be most unfortunate
to us to surrender to the absentees and
give up work. It would be a confess
sion to the world that the senate was
unable to carry on the business en-
trusted to it."
His figures showed seventeen demo-
Gratis In Washington, and nineteen re-
publicans here. with twenty-eight alb
sent.
A double roll call brought in only
forty-fivA senators, and the sergeant
alarms began to scour Washington
for. absentees.- Il.
Later all absent senatorsisvere tele-
graphed to return to Washington.
