 Only two of the attorneys were heard yesterday, F. C. Struckmeyer opening the case for the contestant, and Judge Sloan replying for the contestee. Judge Sloan was talking when court ad journed last night. He will resume this morning. Three days have been set apart by the supreme case for the arguing of this case.
 Owing to the great interest of this case and the importance to the vel fare of the state, il is the general opinion that the supreme court will not take great deal of time in hand ing down a decision, although no hint was given yesterday to that effect.
 Nothing not fully argued when tue contest was heard in the superior court was brought out in the pleading of  counsel yesterday in -.preme court. Ii was the same old case, and the ef- forts of the attorneys in the final hearing are not to receive undue weight. according to Chief Justice Franklin who stated in court that the peadings of neither side would be held to be imperfect; that the case was to be decided on merit
 In his opening argument MT Struck meyer for the contestant, MT. Hunt. called attention to two cases which were bones of contention in the lower court hearing. One was the case from Graham county where Is ballots marked for Campbell with crosses to the left instead of the right of the name were given to Campbell, and the 42 ballots in Douglas precinct No where testimony showed that election officials had erased the crosses at the tJp of the republican column and placed them at the top of the demo- cratic column.

WANTO|v SHOOTING AT NEGROES CHARGE
 MADE BY WITNESS
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

EAST ST. LOUIS, H., Oct. 1S., Wanton shooting at negroes by sol diers on patrol duty during the race riots here last May was testified to before the congressional committee in- Vestlgating the riots today. Charles Rogers, president of a large chemical company here, told the committee that he saw uniformed soldier shoot negro who was standing with a group of his fellows a block away merely to show white men who were twitting him that he could not shoot.
 MT. Rogers testified that a man in a crowd of whites remarked to the soldiers:
 What are you doing with that gun, you can't shoot?"
 The hell l can't" Roger quoted the soldier as saying. Whereupon the sol dier fired into the crowd of negroes and one of them fell wounded, testified. Mir. Roger.
 Roger testified he told Governor Frank o. Lowden of that and similar incidents, but that no special effort was made to learn the identity of the s-'3it~
 Ink A. Hunter, general manager of the Swift & Co.,, packing plant, tes- tified that the riots had driven forty per cent of their negro employees from work and that government orders are being delayed.
 At the time of the riot, he said, rail- roads stopped handling freight for six days. He said he believed the riot was caused by i'll feeling of union men against negro laborers imported from the south and denied that his company had anything to do with these impor- tations.
 He said he had received anonymous threatening letetrs that the packing plant would be blown up if union labor was not employed. Efforts had also been made, he said, to interfere with government orders. He said he is pre- pared to lay two specific cases before the department of justice.
 Philip W. COyle, traffic commissioner of the St. Louis Missouri. chamber of commerce, said that freight bound to and from St. Louis was delayed in East St. Louis because there was not enough labor there to handle it. Most ot class of work, ne saId, had been done by negroes, who had been so terrorized that they left the town.
 Mir Coyle said a meeting was held in St. Louis to seek federal aid in restoring traffic conditions on the H. linois side to normal. He said that at the meeting a newspaper interview with Mayor Mollman of East St. Louis was read in which the mayor was quoted as saying he did not want negro refugees to return to East St Louis, as he had no way of protect ing them.

attributed to him was correct.
While there is no indication as to
what will be the state department g
next disclosure Of German intrigue In
America or elsewhere it Is known
that disclosures as sensational as any
vet published are being held in re-
serve and may be made at any time.
One of the things the state depart
ment has is list Of persons who re-
ceived German money in the pass
port frauds, the munition plots and
practically all the other activities OF
German intrigues here which took
place between the beginning OF the
war in 1914 and the entry of the
United States in to the conflict. This
list is said to contain scores of names
and the amounts Of money represent

the disclosures already made.

pleaded for time to give the matter
careful thought.
That there is mo chance for the
Quaker with cold feet" was the state
ment Of both Tom Jones and Paul J..
Furnas of indianapolis, formerly edit

been selected for army service and
both have aled claims for exemption

Friends as to what course to pursue,
he said he is willing to go to Camp

from a high military authority that
the reconstruction units would be rec

Tom Jones declared he is willing
to be called a Stacker, or coward.

Speakers also pointed out that If the
government recognizes the separate re-
construction work it will mean that
every Quaker will have to contribute
to the support of the unit.
