OPENING STATEMENTS MADE
Attorneys for Defense Charge That
Mrs. Bonds Charges Are Re-
suit of Plot of Political
Enemies.

Oklahoma City, Ok-The district
court room was packed to the doors
when the $4,000 damage suit against
the blind senator from Oklahoma, T.
p. Gore of Lawton, filed by Mrs. Min
ME Bond of this city, came to trial

had been selected, after many chal-
lenges, and E. T. Giddings of coun-
sci for Mrs. Bond made the Opening

In the statement Senator Gore was
severely arraigned
Mrs. Bonds counsel alleged that
when she went to Washington last
spring to seek a federal appointment
for her husband she called upon Sen

while she was interviewing him in
his room. Mrs. Bonds counsel stated
that some of her friends were in an
adjoining room; that they heard her

Open charges of a bold political con-
spiracy to defeat Senator Gore for

incident and offered to hush up the
matter for S25, 200, but that Senator
Gore turned down the proposition.

LOOKING FOR FACTS
Kansas Utilities Board Wants
Attorneys in Stock Yard Case
to File Briefs.
FIVE QUESTIONS SUBMITTED
Commissioners are Seeking Light On
Various Subjects Connected With
Proposed Improvements.

The Kansas Utilities Commission
has sent five questions to the attor-
neys for the Kansas City Stock Yards
Company and the railroads asking for
the submission of briefs showing what
the commission can legally do in pro-
viding for new terminal facilities at
the yards. The questions are:
Would the proposed terminal facil-
tiles be regarded as a plant facility
and could trackage or switching
charges be allowed?
Gould a stock yards company be
authorized to perform a transporta-
ton on terminal duties?
Gould the utilities commission or
der a railway company to permit a
stock yards company to build a sub
way under the railway tracks?
What effect would the Interstate
Commerce Law have on the trackage
charges?
What effect does the fact that a
Maine corporation holds the title to
the lands involved in the proposed
terminals have on the right of the
commission to exercise it's powers in
requiring new terminals and author
izing trackage charges?"
These are the points on which the
commission stumbled Thursday when
it postponed the hearing of the case
until February 81 The railroads and
stockyards attorneys are to submit
their briefs before February 81, so that
the commission will have nearly a
week to find out what its new line OF
action will be.

WHAT NOT TO READ.

Philip Hale recently suggested that
modern readers would be materially
assisted from the tyranny of tradi-
ton if a distinguished coterie of men
like Mr. Howells, Mr. Chesterton, Mr..
Shaw and Dr. Eliot would draw up a
list of the "25 worst books" A
writer in the Providence Journal un-
dertakes the task, as pride and pre-
tense to protesting admiration for
books they never read and never in
tend to read. This writer in his list
names Paradise Regained." The
Fa erie Queene,' '.Wutthering
Heights" Aurora Leigh John Hall
fax "Hypathia," and several other
books that people today care nothing
for, but for which great admiration is
confessed simply because their past
fame makes present readers afraid or
ashamed to admit ignorance of them
Senator HOar once admitted that
often he preferred "Old Sleuth" to his
classic Greek volumes. Other great
men make no secret of their reading
bad books" for diversion. A list of
worst books sworn to by men
whose opinions carry weight would
create a greater freedom and boldness
among those misguided folk who draw
up lists of the worlds best books"
And in due season a natural man
might find in such lists some of his
real favorites, instead of the dull,
dead volumes that are now included
not on merit, but by reason of the
power of tradition.
