JUDGE SUSTAINES DEMURRER
Decision in Case of Bass Symngton and Stevens Handed Down in Superior Court Tuesday-Arguments Made in DonnelIy--Prstt Suit

In the superior court at New Lon don on Tuesday Judge Milton A. Shumway handed down a decision in the case of Simon Bass vs. Frederick Symington and Robert Stevens, all of this city, sustaining a demurrer filed by the plaintiff.
 The suit arose over a quarrel be- tween the plaintiff and defendants some months ago. The defendants were charged with taking the Bass boy some distance from his home in an automobile and binding him, hand and foot, and then leaving him to his own resources. When the case was brought up in the crimina, superior court the charges against Symington and Stevens were nolled.
 The Bass boy, through his legal guardian, has brought suit against Symington and Bass in civil action, claiming damages of $5,00O. The de- fendants brought a counter claim to the effect that the suit brought by Bass was malicious and intended to defame their character.
 A demurrer was filed by the plain tiff that the matter set forth in the counter claim was of an independent character and in no way connected with the subject matter in the plain tiff's complaint and was not necessary for full determination of the rights

paroled in 1901. The next year James shot himself, leaving a note ascribing his action to a refusal of the parole board to permit him to marry the girl he loved.
 After Cole was paroled he was forced by Minnesota law to live in that state for three years. Then he returned to Missouri and settled down in a vine covered cottage which he bought for a niece in Lees Summit, the scene of his boyhood days. For a time he was con- nected with a show, and later went on the lecture platform and became a good citizen.
 In August, 1913, Younger was con- verted to religion at a revival meeting and became an active church worker.
 Eve led an adventurous. turbulent life" he said. The war brought on hate and strife and killing around here. I have been blamed for a lot of 1t with which I had nothing to do. They murdered my father and I was launch- ed into the life of shooting and re- prisals and rough riding, winding up with 25 years in the penitentiayr. I was brought up in a Christian home.

COLE YOUNGER. oNE-TIME
 NOTORIOUS OUTLAW, DEAD.
or Late Years> Was a Church Attend
 ant and Peaceful Citizen.

Lees Summit, Mo, March 21.-Cole Younger notorious outlaw of border days, but of late years a devout church attendant and peaceful citizen, died at his home here tonight after lingering illness He was 72 years of age and unmarried
 Cole Younger was one of the last of the members of the notorious robber bands that infested western Missouri during and after the Civil war He was a member of the Quantren band of guerillas and with his two brothers took part with the James boys" in bank and train robberies in Missouri and neighboring states that netted the looters more than a hundred thousand dollars. The leading members of these bands are dead, some at the hands of the law, some by suicide and others from natural causes. Younger after a long term in the penitentiary became a law abiding Missouri citizen.
 Cole was the oldest of the three Younger boys
 The father, Col. Harry w. Younger, came to Missouri from Kentucky be- fore the war. He was a strong union man, though a shareholder. He settled near Lees Summit, 20 miles from Kansas City, where Cole was born in 1S44. Colonel Younger was murdered by one of the bands of lawless gueril- las that infested the AIissouri-Kansas border in war times. The sons said their father was slain by Kansans for the purpose of robbery. They immedi- ately took up arms against the north. They joined QuantrelPs guerillas and had their part in the memorable sack ing of Lawrence, Kas.
 When the war was over they and the JameSeS became outlaws. Among the notorious robberies of the decade fol- lowing the war that were laid at their door were:
 The raid on the Liberty, Mo. bank in 1866. One bank defender shot dead and SIP, 900 stolen.
 The footing of a Russellville, Ky bank in 1868 for s17,OO0.
 The Gallatin, Mo. bank robbery of | 1868, in which the cashier was shot and killed.
 Raids of Lexington and Savannah, | Mo. banks in 1867.
 Ten thousand dollars stolen from the | Kansas City Fair association in 1871 while 1000 persons looked on. The Corydon, La, bank robbed o1 | $4O,O0 the same year.
 A dozen other sensational robberies for which the Younger and James boys were blamed were carried out success fully before the three Younger broth. CTS were captured in Minnesota after a raid on a bank at Northfield, Minn., ir | 1876, in the course of which Cashier Haywood was killed. The Youngers
 were shot many times in battles with | a posse, but finally were taken alive after a battle at Shieldsvil1e, ATinn.
 Cole and his brothers pleaded guilty and were sentenced to prison for life
 They entered the penitentiary at Still
 water, Minn., and became model prfs'
 oners. Bob died in the penitentiary ir i1sse. Cole and James Younger wer'

in the case. Judge Shumway sustain ed the demurrer on these grounds.
 Jury Could Not Agree.
 When the case of Dudley St. c. Don nelly against George H. Pratt of this city was called up, Mrs. Donnelly, wife of the plaintiff, was recalled to the witness stand. The complainant in the case is seeking $5,0O0 damages for personal injuries and damages to his automobile as the result of col lision on North Main street, near the tannery, in this city some months ago.
 Harold Hoffman of Bridgeport, an automobile demonstrator, who was op-- erating the Donnelly machine at tbe time of the accident, was also recalled and corroborated Mrs. Donnelly's tes- timony.
 Both sides then rested and Attorney James of this city made the first ar- gument for the plaintiff. He was fol- lowed by Attorneys Perkins and Brown, counsel for the defense, and Attorney Hadlai A. Hull made the closing argument.
 The jury took the case and returned | to the court room at 6 o'clock th' 1 foreman stating that they could no 1 agree. Judge Shumway excused then until this Wednesday, morning wheI | they will cndeavor to reach an agree ment.

AIDING REVENUE AGENTS
 TO ROUND UP DEALERS
A. S. SPading Ordered to New York To Aid in Spreading Federal Drag net,

A. S. Spalding is in New York, haV- ing been ordered there by the internal revenue department at Washington, and Is a part of a force of more than 200 revenue agents engaged in arrest ing tobacco dealers and manufactur- CTS who have been defrauding the gov ernment.
 Internal revenue agents working under the direction of Assistant Unit ed States Attorney Emilio Yaselli, spread out over New York Monday and gathered in between 75 and 80 ci- gar and cigarette manufacturers and tobacco dealers of the smaller type. At the same time similar raids were made in Brooklyn and Long Island City and the contents of the shops or factories run by the defendants seized by the government. The tobacco, ci- garettes and cigars conf1scated are said to be worth $1,000,000.
 William H. Osborn, commissioner of internal revenue, issued a statement in which he said that the internal stamp tax frauds disclosed through the arrests extend over a pediof ot from 10 to 15 years and represent a loss to the government of millions ot dollars in internal revenue taxes Through the prosecution Of the deal CTS and manufacturers involved the government hopes to recover a great part of this sum in fines.
 Commissioner Osborn regards the alleged activities of the defendants as part of a gigantic conspiracy to de- fraud the government through the wholesale refilling of cigar boxes with out canceiling the revenue stamps, by using counterfeit stamp tax bands on the boxes and by selling leaf tobacco without registering it.
 Through these means of evading the tobacco tax laws the defendants cheated the government out of about $3 on every 1000 cigars. The de- fendants dealt for the most part among Italians and other foreigners

 The only reason given for strength eninR General Pershing's force. known by the public generally to be consid- erably more than 1000 men, was that Pershing's field of operations had be- come so extended that his main line of communication and the subsidiary lines were weaker than they should be-
