Offers Explanation.

AS an explanation of his position
on the question of determining when
the amendment shall be effective,
Senator Farr has prepared the follow
ing statement for the committee:
Under the law, the thirty-seventh
general assembly has the power Of
fixing the time when the popular
election shall be held ratify1ng the
proposed amendment AS the resolu-
ton now stands, without the time
limit amendment, the constitutional
amendment would go into effect as
soon as the vote is canvassed and In.
solar as the legislature shall enact
laws providing for its enforcement,
the amendment would be effective
only in annulling contracts, and would
prevent the enforcing of any licenses
by city, or enforcing any contracts
relative to Intoxicating liquors, but 1t
would not prevent Bookkeeping.
Would Give Cities Chance.
The object of fixing the time Is,
so that cities whose revenue shall be
largely affected by the closing of the
saloons may provide for revenue from
other sources. For instance, Sioux
City derives a revenue of $SO,8O0 per
year from saloons. That revenue must
be obtained from other sources, and
the city government should have n
reasonable time in which to make ar.
rangements for such revenue.
Moreover, In most cities where the
liquor traffic is now carried on, there
arc many people employed In the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors. These persons would be
thrown out of employment, and they
should know, and their employers
should know at as early a date as pos
sible, when the proposed amendmen It
will probably so into effect"

Says Saw Was Used.

DR.. Charles Center testified that he
examined the bodies in the ruins when
he conducted an autopsy together with
DR.. Ericsson and Or. Knox and he de-
scribed the body of the defendants
father as having the thighs, legs, arm
and head severed. He said that in his
opinion the things from the, appearance
of the flesh around the bone and the
bone itself, had been severed from the
body with sharp instrument and cut
with saw.
The doctor testified that burning
could not have produced such condi-
ton. He said on direct examination
in answer to questions by Attorney
Lancaster that an unskilled boz 20
or % years old could not cut the body
of Charles rlanschmidt to pieces as
it was found in the ruins and burn the
parts in cook, stove with an ordinary
fire box and destroy them in less than
eight hours.
The witness said he was basing his
answer on his own experience with
burning human flesh and his ability to
cut up or saw up body. He said
that gasoline alone could not destroy
a body, unless the applications were
rer Gated, in under eight hours.
