the I. and r. in 1911 was one of spec

MULLINS TRIAL TO END.
Wabaunsee County Murder Case to
Jury This Afternoon.

Alma. Feb. 20.-An evidence in the
submitted and the case will go to the
jury sometime today. The defense
completed the examination of wit
nesses Thursday and the state then in
troduced some evidence in rebuttal
which surprised Mullins and his attor-
neys. Judge r. c. Heller read his in
structions to the jury beginning with
the opening Of court this morning and
the arguments will be completed be-
fore court adiourns this afternoon.
The state sprung q surprise Thurs
day in rebuttal when they introduced
Francis Pierson and his mother. Mrs.
Stella Pierson. as witnesses. Pierson
is the man who the witnesses for the
defense stated drove w. o. Mullins to
from injury received by being struck
on the head by Anthony King.
Pierson stated in his testimony that
he did not drive Mullins to his farm
during the time he was recovering
from his injuries. He further testified
that Mullins had written him wanting
him to appear in Alma to testify in
his behalf. This he refused to do. he
said, when Mullins told him what he
wanted him to testify to.
Mrs. Pierson. who lived next door
to Mullins in Junction City. testified
that Mullins drove to his farm in a
buggy during the time he was recov-
ering from the blow struck by King.
She further stated that while in the
buggy she noticed that his head was
bandaged.
Mrs. Pierson and her son were
brought here from Denver, Colo,
where they moved several months ago.

William Allen White, commenting on
the successful use of the pulmotor in
an effort to restore political life to
Arthur Capper, says in his EmpOria

Capper's lips and he seems now to be

is expected to get out and get under.

be a heap adding when he does get in.
It's going to be hard times and great
tribulations. The troubles of the three

what is ahead of Mr.. Capper. And

The Chapman Announcement.

THE SENATE

The Senate committee on railroads
and canals yesterday afternoon held
it's first real hearing of the present
session and discussed Senate bill No
90 by Senator Edge, providing that
railroads afford protection at every
crossing within six months.
Railroad interests opposed the bill
and Senator Edge went into its mer-
it's. The railroads assumed that the
matter of crossing protection should
rest entirely with the Public Utility
Commission and was not a matter
for further legislation.
The arguments of the railroad law
yers toward the end of the hearing
evidently annoyed Senator Colgate
and he remarked: There is not a
thing you (the railroads) are asked
to do that you do not kick. Try to
meet the people a little bit once in
awhile and they will not be so hard
on you"
Senator Edge in advocating the
passage of the bill said the total
elimination of grade crossings by the
Utilities Commission would consume
from thirty to fifty years and he
wanted some protection to the public
at these crossings, such as bells. au-
tomato signals, or gatemen, imme-
diately. He maintained the public
should be cared for by the installation
of safety devices near crossings that
are unprotected. He read to the
committee a report from the Utilities
Commission showing that 40 per cent
of the more than 5000 grade crossings
| in the State are unprotected.
