SHERLOCK HOLMES
IN REAL LIFE
Trial Of Poison Plot Quartette Begins
With Several Very Interesting
Features.

[By Lowell Mellett, United Press Staff
4. Correspondent
LONDON, Mar 6.-All the elements
of a Sherlock Holmes detective story
were present today when the crown
called to the bar the famous poison
plot quartette to answer to the charge
Of conspiring to murder Premier Lloyd
George and Minister Arthur Hender-
son. The four were Mrs. Mary Wheel
don, Miss HARRIET Wheeldon, and Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Mason. They were
arraigned before Justice Low in "Old
Bailey"
First of the surprises in the case
came when a dark skinned Mohammed-
an, s. H. Ria arose in court and en-
tered his appearance as counsel for
the defendants. For the crown, At
torney General Sir F. E. Smith, was in
charge of an array Of counsel
Attorney General Smith, opening
the crowns case, bitterly denounced
the four defendants as "a desperate
and dangerous group, bitterly hostile
to the country, and one which had
done its best to injure the British in
the present crisis"
Inspector Herbert Booth, of Scot
land Yard, one Of the secret agents
who succeeded in establishing him
self as a confidant of the Wheeldon's,
was the first witness on behalf of the
crown. He told the whole amazing
story of the poison plot and the con-
spirators' bitterness against the gov
officials they had worked out
for slaughter. 1t was recital that
might well have been taken from the
pages of famous crime story-except
that the crime was never committed
because of the vigilance of the secret
agents and Scotland Yard operatives.

IT WORKS WELL
A Combination That is Doing an I'm
mense Amount of Good
This Spring.

A superlative blood-purifying medL
cine like Hoods Sarsaparilla, tax en-
before meals, combined with super
lative iron tonic like Peptiron Pills,
taken after meals-makes the ideal
course of Spring Medicine.
No other medicines possess such
curative properties as these two great
restoratives working together.
They reach the impure, Empower
ished, poisoned, devitalized blood, and
the worn, run down, overworked, eX,
hausted system. They awaken the
appetite, aid digestion, purify and
vitalize the blood, give renewed
strength to the whole body, proddce
sound, natural sleep, and a complete
restora ton to good heaith-the great
est of all earthly blessings. 1t is said
that 81 invested in these two medi
cines will bring better results than
81 spent in other treatment.
1t will be wise to get Hoods Sarsa
parilla and Peptiron Pills today.

DO NOT APPLAUD
NATIONAL ANTHEM.
This IL Suggestion Being Made TO
Theatre Audiences When Star
spangled Banner is
Played.
STAND AT WRONG TIME
keokuk Audiences Seem to Forget
That America No Longer Calls
For Rising to
Feet.
STAND AT WRONG TIME

| Theatre orchestras over the country
are taking up the plan Of playing the
national anthem, The Star Spangled
Banner, at the opening Of each per-
! Torrance, with audience and must
clans both standing. The sugg estion
is made by one of the Chicago critics
! that audiences should refrain from
applause at the end Of the anthem. He
says "You don't applaud the Lords
Prayer, and this is just as much out of
place."
Keokuk audiences seem to have at
last learned to stand for the Star
Spangled Banner, but they usually APP
plaud at its conclusion. 1t might not
be bad idea to keep in mind the fact
that no applause should follow the
playing of the hymn.
One thing which local audiences do
not seem to have learned. however,
Is that it is no longer proper to stand
during the playing or singing Of Am
erica. This is nothing more or less
than the English hymn, God Save the
King, and since the United States has
at last adopted the Star Spangled Ban
ner as it's national anthem, there is
not the slightest excuse for standing.
1t is much the same as it some one
sang Tic WOIuS Va lAC AutAOAaA Aly ILL
to Mammy's Coal Black Rose, and it's
a safe bet no one would think of stand
ing for that.
keokuk Audience Wrong.
The audience at the Monday Music
club stood last night during the play
ing Of America by the visiting ar
fists. proceeding which has really
out of place. The army and navy reg
ulations, which should govern civil
lam bodies in such things, just as they
do in flag etiquette provide only for
standing during the presentation of
the real national anthem. 1t was a
noticeable feature at the Company
L banquet, and at the local patriotic
gatherings which have been partici-
pated in by the local patriotic societ-
les recently that audiences heyes stood
only for the Star Spangled Banner.
IN some eastern cities penalties are
provided for orchestras and musicians
who play the national hymn In med.
ley. 1t should be played only as a
separate piece Of music.

the understanding that the following
session of the legislature will pro-

Constitutional Limit.

Constitutional Limit.
The constitution prohibits adding
more than one member to the high
court at any one term Of the legisla-
ture. This bars the proposition OF
increasing the court from seven to
nine members at this time.
Under the present system of seven
court is divided into
two sections--three members being
assigned to each division, and the
chief justice presiding over both
divisions, making four members in
each. Every case not presented to
the full bench is submitted to four
judges.
When the court is Increased to
eight members, four judges can no
longer decide case, because the
law provides that each decision shall
be rendered by a majority of the
court. Therefore it will take five
judges to decide each case under the
new arrangement.
With court of eight members it
will not be possible to arrange two
divisions of five members each.
Another Suggestion.
1917 and 1918 the seven justices.
other than the chief justice, may be
divided into two divisions-four mem
bers in the first and three in the
second The chief Justice would pre-
side over both misunderstanding five
members in the first and four in the
second. BY having one member Of
the first division hear oral arguments
each period with the second division
all cases would then be submitted to
five judges. The arrangement would
provide for additional work for every
member of the court for the next
two years.
Another plan suggested is the re-
peal of the present law providing for
two divisions of the court, and pro-
vide that during the next two years
all members of the court shall hear
all cases.
