Judge Mathews announced his de-
cision from the bench, starting with
in two minutes from the time Solic-
itor Garrett finished the closing
argument. He first cited the power
of the committing court, citing the
law on the case. He said that it was
the duty of the court to determine
whether there was sufficient evidence
to suspect the guilt of the accused
persons. He showed the difference
between committing court and a
grand jury where only ex-parte evi-
dence for the state is presented.
Judge Explains.
He stated that in this case the
hearing was held with the under
standing that the evidence was to be
applied to the defendants to whom
it was applicable. ''For that rea-
son." explained Judge Mathews, "a
great amount of evidence was sub
mitted which could not be used
against some of the defendants"
Judge Mathews specifically named
the conversations with Mrs. Cults,
which, he said, could not be consid-
cred as evidence against others. He
said that it was the duty of the court
to take this into consideration in be-
half of tho others.
Suspicion in the mind of the
court must be supported by the le-
gal evidence" said Judge Mathews.
He referred to the authority" cited
by Hal Lawson in behalf of Mrs.
Cults that the state must establish
the perpetrators of plot before es-
tablishing the accessory. He held
that this was a point well taken.
Judge. Mathews declared that
much of the expert testimony was
conflicting He declared the state
showed that there was plenty of
grounds for a motive. But" he
said, sit does not appear in any de-
gree of clearness that the defend
ants administered poison, and there
is not sufficient evidence to connect
them. l do not think that I would
be justified in holding the defend
ants, and therefore discharge them

HIGH PRICED ROAD MATERIAL

The Kansas state highway en-
gineer says but little brick and
cement road can be laid in his
state this year, owing to high cost
of such materials. other states
find the same difficulty. This
bears hard on many localities
where materials for macadam and
gravel road have to be brought a
long distance.
The country is ready to spend a
lot of money on roads. But let
, not producers of material think
any old price will be paid. Motor
truck transportation makes it pos
sible to transport rock, gravel, etc.
much farther than formerly. Re-
cent road building has tended to-
ward use of the most permanent
substances Rut substitutes can
be used if producers have too lofty
ideas on prices.

Fascinating daughter when on
warm evenings her suitors would
flock to her house to bask in her
radiant charms. When the countess

And speaking of the Countess de

so used to masculine adulation
from her childhood that she never
lowered those eyes---as the other
girls in Florence were accustomed
to G'o-when she received the

She took it quite as a matter OF

The ladies of the canvases of

GOVERNMENT SEEDS.

When a man gets a package Of
government seeds he is very apt to
be subtly impressed with the idea
that his congressman is on the job,
and personally interested in his
welfare. As a matter Of fact, the
seed distribution is mostly in the
hands of clerks and secretaries. If
the congressman spend any time
on it, it is time taken from duties
for which their attention is much
needed.
The seeds have been popular in
a way, because people felt they
were getting something for moth
ing. That always arouses warm
enthusiasm. They did not stop to
think that they had to pay for 1t
large sum in taxes.
The hauling distribution cost a
lot of money, but was kept up for
it's supposed value as political
propaganda. The people do not
care to pay for that. Congress has
cut out this expense that was of
little practical value to any one.

Of the law is borne out by a provi-
sion in section 307, that is the car
riers and the employees should by
direct negotiation agree upon wage
increases likely to necessitate a
substantial readjustment of the
rates Of any carrier, the labor
board may suspend, such agree
ment until it can inquire into its
character.
Another provision brings out
this thought still more clearly by
providing that in important cases
at least one member Of the public
group on the labor board must join
IN the decision in order to make it
effective. In view of this specific
provision of the law, it seems to us
that its trainers never intended
that representatives of the manage
ments and of the employees, with
out any public representation
should reach an agreement upon
demands involving more than a
billion dollars increase in wages"

REVISION OF COAST
MAIL ROUTES SOUGHT


San Francisco, Calf. April IL
Revision of the mail routes to Cen
tral America so that mail from the
Pacific coast may go down the
west coast or else follow the most
direct lines on the east coast is be-
ing sought by trade development
bodies of San Francisco. At pres
ent the only method of utilizing
the speediest route is to specify
the name of the ship on which the
letter is desired to travel. Other
wise mail goes through New Or
leans and may go as far as Panama
and then back to Nicaragua, in
stead of entering the latter repub-
lie by a shorter and more direct
line, according to those interested
in the move.
The experience of one San Fran
cisco business man. who had to
send a package from Monteviedo,
Uruguay, to Panama via France,
instead of directly uD the west
coast of South America via VAL
paraiso, is cited. This was merely
because of an old postal agreement
and resulted in the package being
delivered year later, because
French steamship lines to Panama
had been withdrawn during the
war,
