R. E. Brown ot 2s24 Third avenue north vas shot and seriously injured by two unknown negroes last night about s:So O clock pear the corner of Fnst avenue and Thirteenth street north. Brown was rushed to the BillrnAn hospital, where, according to the authorities, he is in a serious condition.

TROOPS TO OKLAHOMA
By Associated Press

1 Oklahoma City. Okla, December A. TwS squadrons of the 18th United states cavalry, now on duty at Columbus, N. M, will arrive in McAlester Saturday for duty in the Oklahoma coal mine territory, it was announced tonight. They will be put on guard duty at strip and pit mines, which are to be the first operated with volunteer unskilled labor called by Gov ernor Robertson.
 general of the southern department of the United States has acquesced in the gov ernor's request that only white troops be furnished it was made known tonight Two companies of negro infantrymen had been ordered to entrain for the Okla homa field, but when the governor in sisted that the presence of negro soldiers might cause unnecessary disturbances the order for their movement was cancelled.
 Governor Robertson issued a proclama-
 tion today placing the entire Oklahoma
 national guard in readiness to move on short notice. It is not the intention,
 however, it was stated, to call out the guard at once, the purpose being to give the adiutant general power to select units to augment the federal forces where necessary.
 The first carload of coal, it is thought will be ready tomorrow night and is ex- pected to be shipped to Altus, Okla. in the southwest part of the state, where suffering seems to be the most acute.

That would be treason. It was hoped by making these charges that the people could be aroused and would send someone else to Congress.

Officer c. J.

The negro, Wallace H. Heron, was placed ia the city jail charged with assault with intent te mur- der. According to a statement mace by Mir. Howell, he was doing scout duty on Twenty fifth street and as he approached Second alley a negro darted out from the alley and proceeded up to First ave nue. The officer followed the negro and commanded him to stop, whereupon the negro turned and fired at the officer. The latter returned the fire, and in the battle that followed the officer was shot in the right ankle and the negro once in esch leg. The negro made his esca pc.

He is not broad enough to concede that anyone has the right to differ from him. He criticizes others and does 1t all under the protection of his official frank, sending his criticisms broad cast all over his district.

He voted wrong in the midst of war. when his vote was needed. He voted against the spy bill and the explosives bill and the con- scription bill.

EFFECT ON SOLDIERS

eff that boy believes what his con gressman tells him. hes will feel that his country is drivingf him into the trenches to fight for something in which he has no interest. IS that the way to have good army? Is that the proper spirit to encourage a man called upon to defend his country?
 "There' is not a man on this jury that does not believe that France and England were whipped until we came to the rescue and thst when France was whipped the next thing would have been an invasion of our own shores. That's where the congressman was wrong. When his country had spoken heAshou1d have got in line and not sent out his opposition speech to the very men who were to form the army after the law had been adopted.

WHAT CONGRESSMAN IS FOR

"Whenever Mr Huddleston got any one out of the army he simply made the aplication to the War Department when pleas came to the congressman from parents of soldiers to take such steps, These pleas were always based on the fact that the soldiers were too young or physically unfit That IS what congressman is there for-to look after the various applications of his constituents. Do you suppose the army dismissed anyone that ought not to have been dismissed? This cartoon is not fair comment on the plaintiffs record.
 ssLook at the hide0us cnricature.
 NIT. HuddIeston makes no claims to
 beauty. but anyone would know
 that those who published these
 cartoons did it out of malice and
 to hold him up to ridicule.
 Look at that serpent labeled No. 5712 That refers to the resolution which MT Huddleston introduced for the protection of the oath of Odd Eel lows.
 ''When man has an enemy, nothing that enemy can do will please him Mir. Huddleston was d. if he. did and d. if he didn't. Nothing he did could suit The Age-Herald. They tried to make this resolution 5712 appear as a protection for Catholics and thus de- prive him of certain votes.
 saThere was nothing disloya1 in
 Huddleston's vote against con
 scriptiOn. He is a native of Ten
 nessee known as the Volunteer
 state, because of the great number
 of volunteers it furnished in 1Sl2
 Hasn't he a right to his honest
 views.

Upon the opening of court this morn ing the reading of Huddleston's speeches was resumed before the jury.
 When this was concluded MT Alt man, of counsel for Huddleston. moved to strike out Counts ' and 13 of the complaint. Mir. Altman then submitted amendments to each of the eight counts. to which the defendant entered objection. The court allowed them to be made and the defendant made re- quest for time to prepare demurrers to the amendments. Court was accord ingly adjourned until after noon.
 The settlement of the pleadings was completed at 2:So o'clock and after statements by counsel the court an- nounced that four hours would be al- lowed to each side for arguments, to be apportioned as counsel desired.
 JUDGE WEAKLEY OPENS
 Judge Weakley opened for the plaintiff. Under our constitution" he said, 'the courts of our state are open to all citizens for the redress of in jury. And injury to reputation Is just as important in the eyes of the law as injury to property or person. That is why we are here. This great news paper has held up the plaintiff day after day, charging him with being un- faithful to his duty and disloyal to his country.
 There is no question about these cartoons referring to MT. Huddleston. MT. Stanley has told you frankly from the stand that they were meant for him. The adverse attitude of this newspaper covered a long period"
 He then quoted from Ned Braces articles and claimed that The Age-Her- aid always had a good word for every Alabama congressman except Huddle- ston. 'Ned Brace broke forth every now and then like a volcano" he said,

PRESIDENT FOUGHT HIM

\ .rThink of the fight made on this | man by three daily papers, powerful ! interests and finally by the President himself Had he not been conscious of his own rectitude he never could have stood against such attacks. He stood firm and was overwhelmingly elected. He comes from the greatest congress sional district in the south asking you 1 for vindication of his character and damages for injury to his reputation Put yourself in his place. Think of going to your front door every morn ing and finding yourself hideously represented to the modification Of yourself and your children He here explained actual damages and punitive damages
 We submit to you.'' he said, that | we ought to have a verdict. and sub stantial verdict.S He concluded at | 4:15.
 Lieutenant Governor Miller, opened the argument for The Age Herald He 1 pointed out that fair comment on a 1 public officials record was quasi-priy- | ileged. He argued extensively to the court that the burden was on the plaintiff to prove there was malice in comment on a public officials record.
 A POLITICAL FIGHT And now. gentlemen of the jury he said i've turn to you. I think you will realize that this suit is the after math of a political fight in Jefferson ] county You have had political fights 1 here and if this mans contention. is up- held it would mean that any official l you criticize would raise the cry that l you were making personal attack on l him.
 .'We are coming to n pretty pass
 in this country if we have no right l to criticize our public officials. I Has every man in this county got
 to keep his mouth shut about his officials because he might have libel suit on his hands,: No doubt
 some of your representatives down at Montgomery cast some votes
 that you didn't agree with. Haven't
 you a right to criticize them. You
 can criticize their public conduct
 without having personal malice
 against the men themselves.
 MT Huddleston was subject to much
 criticism and we had right to make
 it. Judge Weakley makes much of the
 hideousnfss of these cartoons. Look
 down past history. Look al the way Elaine was cartooned as the tattooed tooned Roosevelt and Bryan and Will
 son It didn't injure them. Cartoon ing of man is tribute to the promi- hence he has attained.
