COURT WILL SEE
ABOUT VERDICT
ATTORNEY FOR JOHN PREACHER
ASKS FOR RECONSIDERATION
OF CASE.

The fine of $500 recently levied
against John Erbacher by Judge d. M
Anderson. was attacked by Mr.. Err
bacher's attorney this morning in the
district court. The attorney for the
plaintiff G. w. Creath resisted the
arguments made by the opposing coun
'sel. The court took the pleas under
advisement. ".'-t ~ ,..,
Erbacher was found guilty of con
tempt and fined $500 in an opinion re-
Gently filed by Judge Anderson The
defendants attorney this morning de-
clared that the judges opinion laid
stress upon the fact that Erbacher had
a government stamp, and this stamp
was prima facia evidence that its
holder had liquor for sale. The at,
torney held that the court erred in
finding his client guilty of contempt,
inasmuch as the law does not say the
stamp operates in contempt cases. He
asked the opinion be modified and
that Erbacher be released from the
fine. The opposing counsel argued
that Davis and Dorsey, two witnesses
against Erbacher, had testified that
they had purchased liquor from the
defendant, and therefore he was gull
ty of contempt in that he violated an
injunction against him. The attorney
also suggested to the court that the
attorney fee of $25 allowed in the
cases was too small.
Erbacher's attorney made a plea
that the court rule on division of
the expenses between the parties in
settling the costs of the Erbacher,
Matt Mier, A H. Nelson and Mike
Brennan contempt. cases.
The court advised the attorneys
that Erbacher had established an alibi
10 offset the testimony of Witnesses
Davis and Dorsey, and that he would
have to take the matter of govern
nent stamp acting as evidence for
contempt under advisement.

IOWA'S DIARIES
SHOW BIG GROWTH
4DAlRYING IN STATE FAST BRING
ING IOWA INTO RIVALRY
WITH OTHER STATES

Ames. Jan. IF Iowa keeps up it's
rate in dairy progress in the next five
years as it has in the last five years,
It will surpass it's rivals in dairy pro-
duction-W and New YORK.
That fact was brought out by the dairy
mass meeting held in connection WIN
the short course at Iowa State college,
Men representing the various state
dairy associations and interests maze
short talks to an audience or nearly
1000 short course students. Every one
of them told of progress that is being
made and urged even greater etfort
for efficiency in the dairy industry
This progress is coming through the
large increase in the number OF pure
bred sires. through better feeding OF
dairy cows and, generally better
dairy farm management.
State Dairy Expert E. S. Estel, de-
clared that it is not difficult matter
for the farmer who owns COWS to in
crease his profit through better man.
agement. For instance. he declared
that milk production may be increased
from Is to 20 per cent through the
practice Of having COWS freshen IN the
fall instead of in the spring. Thelr
milk yield is larger when they 1alt
freshen and the milk brings better
price in the late fall
President T. J. Julian of the Hoi-
stein-Friesian Breeders association de-
clared that the dairy COW is essential
to soil conservation in Iowa and else
where. He declared that it is easy to
distinguish between farms on which
dairying is practiced and those In
which the produce Of the farm is sold
as grain.
Jimmy Watson senior dairy stu
dent Of the college, made distinct
hit with the audience with a sextette
which sang, Everybody Milks in

TO Catch Foxes.

II you are particularly anxious to do

the following. 1t is the sage Of Lup-

Notable Things" "Anoint the soles
of your shoes with a piece Of fat
swine's flesh as broad as your hand,
newly toasted or a little broiled at
the Are, when you go out of the wood
homeward. And In every Of your
steps cast a piece of the liver Of a
swine roasted and dipped In honey,
and draw after your back the dead
carcass Of cat" Your fox cannot
resiet all this, but "be sure to have

to shoot at him, or by some other
means to hit him." Good fun this for

ly will be. matter of immediate
concern to this administration. 1t
is sufficiently we'll established that
President Wilson has what he him
self has designated as a single
track mind" He disposes of one
piece of business before he takes
up another. There is plan aieot,
following Tuesdays elections, of
which the President is, cognizant,
to effect a thorough going reorgani-
cation Of the democratic party in u
New York state. The old method
Of a select conference resulting in
a set of formal resolutions followed
by inaction is not to he pursued
this time.
President Wilson is a party man.
He believes in political action
through parties and pa ty orgafHi-
zatiou. He regards himself as the
active political leader of his party;
not the nominal or titular head of
it as Mr.. Taft used to say of him
self with respect to the republican
party. New York is the most i'm
portant democratic state in the I'm
ion. 1t has within its boundaries
more democratic voters than any
other state. 1t sends larger dele
cation than any other state to
democratic conventions. 1t has
larger representation in congress
than any Of the other states. In
fine. it is the most important and
largest stronghold of democracy.
AS such, it should be an asset in
stead of menace to the party. 1t
is President Wilson's task, as lead
er to bring shout this change.
MIR. Wilson is not in sympathy
and has no relations with the Muir
phys, Macks, Fitzpatricks, Conner
ses, McCooeys and others of lesser
degree who have had control of the
various divisions and organizations.
He has nothing in common with
them except that they profess al
leRianr to the same party. They
Guild never act as subordinates to
the president in bis representative
capacity as party leader. He
would never intrust them with any
of the responsibility power or re-
wards derived from his party lead
ership. That must be clear to
everybody. Therefore, it must be
equally clear that the time must
presently come, and without much
delay, for herdine apart of the
sheep and the goats.
The sign Of this differentiation
will come when the federal patron
age in New York state begins to be
distributed. The president has
made very few New York appoint
ments. About 112 misunderstanding
have been allotted but the great
bulk of the important federal offices
have not been filled. A collector
OF the port, surveyor of the port
and a general appraiser are yet
to be selected for. New York City.
None of the-internal revenue col
lectoFs to be named has been APP
pointed. The district attorneyship
and the other federal offices in the
western districts Of New York are
still occupied by republicans.
Within the next two weeks, by
ones and twos there will arrive at
Warrington number upstate
New York democrats to talk over
with members of the administra-
tiou what shall be done In making
over the state organization, who
shall do it, ard what part each
