Administration,spo Power

The regularity with which the ad- ministration program is enacted, first by the house and then by the sen- ate, is wonderful. We have never had 8 regime in power in which the min ority in congress seemed to have so little influence in shaping it's actions. This, however, has the advantage of the definite Judgment of responsibility.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-There were
many interesting developments bear
ing upon financial conditions. Fairly
broad buying Of really high grade Sc,
curities continued both on the stock
exchange and at private sales; what
little liquidation there was from
Europe had scarcely any influence
upon the markets here, and to offset
there was good support from local
sources; the steel trust figures. COW
ering untitled orders at the end OF
November, showed decline OF 1885,
sos tons, which was a considcra5l?
smaller decline than had been looked
for; the rise in German exchange ap-
peared to have beel checked, temper
arily at least, although the market was
still strong, with broad buying de-
mand; and negotiations were under
stood to be N progress for the crea-
ton Of additional credit balances for
various zoreign governments which
are at the moment engaged in purchas-
ing large stocks of foodstuffs and sup
plies in the United States.
So far as the investment inquiry
was concerned, it gave indications of
charging gradually. On the ex-
change, however, there was a little
activity than was seen yesterday. The
usual new high record was touched in
the three year notes sold by New York
in September and 1t was evident that
the recent rise in the price of the
notes had made many of the early buy
ers willing to take profits at this
level.

Former President Taft predicted the
completion of the canal by january 1,
1915. 1t is completed and ready for
use now. Some work remains to be
done before the largest vessels may
pass through without difficulty. but it
is ready for use bysall ships that now
use the Suez. Incidentally, that may
mean more than even the builders of
the Panama realized. Should the
European war be long continued there
is no telling about the freedom of the
Suez, and should it be closed, much
larger traffic would go to the Panama.
In any event, peace, war Or what
not, the achievement wrought by the
builders of our own canal stands forth
as lasting tribute to their genius
and patriotism and an everlasting IL
lustration of what might be accom-
plished all along the line of efficient
public service, from the .lowliest NUM-
cipal job to the highest federal Office
with the same intelligent direction.

Had Appeared Before Judge McNa-
mara Where He Told story Of
an Attempt on His
Life.

William Clifford Logan, colored, had
a new scheme to win the heart and
hand ola lady friend. He tried it out.
Today he is resting in the city Jail
until the order comes for him to ~
exiled from this city, for exiled Will
liam Clifford is to be. If Chief of Pc
lice Kenney's word can be accepted.
Williams plan was ingenius enough
to deserve success. Here's the way he
worked 1t. Yesterday he appeared be-
fore Judge Mcnamara in the superior
court where, after. relating a thrill
ing and realistic tale of his narrow
escape from destruction at the hands
of his rival, he filed an information
against him, charging him with assault
to murder. William claimed his rival,
Charles Hedge, had fired two shots
at him the night before.
A warrant for Hedges arrest was
issued and Hedge hailed before the
court. He denied all knowledge OF
the crime with which he was accus-
ed. Further evidence was submitted
to the court to prove that Logan had
framed up story in the attempt to
railroad his rival. His plan was to
get Hedge in Jail for comfortable
length of time, giving him clear
field in the race for the hand of the
girl.
Shortly after Hedge had been ar
raigned and the Information against
him, dismissed by Logan, Mrs. Cora
Holt filed an information against Log
an, charging him with disturbing her
ipeace and quiet Logan, arraigned
before Judge Mcnamara, affirmed that
he was citizen of free country and
demanded to know what his fine was.
When told his liberty would cost him

the city Jail now the word to go, for

a month in jail or of leaving the city,

Filed by Defense In seitz Case After
State Finishes its Testimony
This Morning and is
Argued.
ELEVEN GROUNDS TO IT
Claim is Made That There is No
Confederation to Testimony Of
Armstrong as 10 Certain
Matters.

A motion to take the case Of the
State of Iowa VS.. Irwin Seitz, from
the jury was made by the de-
Tense this. morning, when the state
announced that 1t rested. The
jury was excused for the time
In which arguments will be made
to the court. There are eleven grounds
in the motion filed by the defense.
They also ask to have evidence CIV
en- by E. Carroll Taber. County At
torney MeManus and Samuels strick-
en- out.
The first ground 5on which the de-
tense asks to have the case taken
from the Jury is that the defendant
has not been shown guilty Of the
charge beyond a reasonable doubt.
The other ten grounds are:
Because the testimony Of Arm
strong, confessed burglar and ac-
complete, has not been corroborated
by other Witnesses.
Because Armstrong is not corrobor-
lated as to the crime OF burglary.
Because the property stolen was
mot found in the defendants posses
sion.
Because the two diamonds intro
duced have not been identified beyond
reasonable doubt as the property stol-
en- from the Taber residence.
/ Because the diamonds introduced in
evidence have. not been identified as
property from the Taber residence.
Because the two diamonds intro
duced have not! been identified as be-
ing in possession Of the defendant.
Because there has been no cor
Iroboration OF Armstrong, the accomp-
lice, connecting the defendant with
committing the crime.
Because there is no confederation
OF accomplice Armstrong as to any
conversation or talk which abetted,
induced or melted the crime. ~
Because there is no confederation
connecting the d&aSdant with the
crime and no confederation that the
defendant aided .s6y receiving stolen
property. knowing that 1t was stolen
from the Tabas Eesidence.
Because the evidence entirely fails
to prove the defendant guilty.
