Opposition of Senator Hitchcock
When the Gronna amendment was
offered. Senator Hitchcock bitterly OPP
posed it on the ground that the Con-
gress of the United States, in meas
ure designed to extend self government
to the F'ilipinos, should not undertake
to legislate for them in matters per-
tanning to their personal liberty. He
declared also that such legislation
would arouse a storm of disapproval
among the natives and precipitate dis
order. 1t was evident from the outset,
however, that there was considerable
sentiment in favor of the proposal. and
the Nebraska senator finally submitted
the amendment to except native bever-
ages. Senators Gronna and Vardaman
were particularly aggressive in their
championship of the amendment. AS
it is, it will prohibit the American sa-
loon in the Philippines, and shut off all
liquor importations, thereby greatly re-
ducing the revenue of the government.

CROPPING IN THE DARK
Jurors in Auto Injury Case Know
Nothing About Cars.

A Shawnee county jury. no member
of which drives an automobile. left the
court room this morning and viewed
from all angles the Case car which
LuelIa Greenough was driving when
she struck Leanna Hoover.
The jurors measured the distance
from the ground to the front axle
They measured the distance from the
ground to the rear axle. They meas
ured the wheel base and everything
else that might have any bearing on
the case. They sat in the drivers seat
and twisted the wheel.
The defense would permit no one on
the jury, who drives a car, and most
of the jurors who stuck admitted they
had no knowledge of the working of a
car. In the case on trial they must
determine whether or not the defen-
dant used due diligence in trying to
avoid a collision with Miss Hoover.
Miss Hoover is suing the Greenough
family for $500 damages for in
juries she alleges she sustained when
the Greenough car struck her, at
Eighth and Kansas avenues, in March.
1914. Miss Greenough testified today
that after striking the girl, she stopped
the car before it reached the street car
tracks on Kansas avenue, that she
went into a nearby drug store when
Miss Hoover was carried in, that she
went to DR.. Van Horns office with
her and did everything it was possible
for her to do at the time.
