Daily Car Supply

GENEVA, Switzerland, Nov. %.
No steam.roller of big nations is
going to run roughshod over this
world parlIament-the Assembly of
the League of Nations. And
The o. S. Senate contention that
Great Britain and her dominions
with six votes would rule the AS

These outstanding conclusions
are apparent on the face Of devel-
opments to date in the first AS
sembly session.
The most sensational develop.
ment of the meeting SO far has
been the firm seizure OF power by
Latin-America.
The power shown by Latin-Amer-
ican nations, in addition to explod-

has also raised this vital question::

Latin!America has taken the

consists Of nine South American

These 16 Latin.American repub-
lies, shepherded by the A. B. C..
powers and Spain, elected an Ar

speech will often sway Latlns more
than logic. They hope to bring the
Latin-Amencans to the French
view.
The nations still tend to group
according to common language and
to racial and economic interests.
The British Empire with six votes
ranks poor second to the Latins.

 Very Light.

' Immediately reaching a verdict ot
 guilty of aggravated assault, the jury
 in the case against Sam Milligan was
 unable to agree upon his punishment
 and let it for the court. The case
 went to the jury yesterday afternoon,
 and it's verdict was returned shortly
 before adjournment At noon today, Judge George W. Clark had not sum moned the defendant to pronounce sentence upon him. Mlligan was in- dicted at the present grand jury sit ting for the alleged assault upon his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Levi Mil ligan. about two months ago at Stringtown. A number of witnesses were examined in the course of the trial yesterday afternoon.
 The jury in the Milligan case as finally selected was composed of J. E. Terry, l.. E. Holloway, w. D. Eth ridge, w. F. Thomson, Jim King, W, o. Nixon, L. l.. Sanders, J. w. Cupit, J. H. Taylor W E. Ravens, C. E. Douglass, and T E. Graham.
 Circuit court this morning took up the case of Peter Sledge vs. Ad Mich olson, which involves the ownership of a bale of cotton Several by islanders were summoned for service while the jury was being made up. As finally selected, it is composed of J. P. Pearce, J. M. Bergman, J. W. Rhea, W. c. Wilcox, J. M Rhoton, H. W. Ravens, H. s. Stephens, Lee Pick les, Henry Mabry, Jack Mckinney, and W. A. Russell
 The case is an appeal from justice of the peace court, in which Ar. Sledge asserted that bale of cotton disappeared from his premises. Lat CT, bale was found in the possession of Mr. Nicholson which MT. Sledge claimed he identified as the bale miss ing from his place Thereupon he brought suit for replevin. As develop ed in the court this morning, counsel for MT. Sledge were attempting to es- tabhsh the fact that the bale in question was ginned at J. NJ. Brown ing's gin at Bono. while counsel for Mr. Nicholson were attempting to prove that it was ginned at John Mahan's gin at Damascus The two ginners, A. M. Ledbetter, s. F. Dor Till and number of others were in- troduced as witnesses. MT. Sledge in- sisted that the bale, which was brought into court and subjected to repeated examination, was his proper ty and was ginned at Browning's gin. MT. Nicholson countered this with evil dence held to show that the bale was his and was ginned at Mahan's gin.
 Jess Henry was one of the number indicted in the final batch returned by the grand jury before it's dis mlssal. Henry was charged with car rying a pistol, and the indictment against him was made public after service had been had and his bond 
 A number of civil actions are set for hearing by the court this after noon. Thursday eases against the Missouri Pacific will be called for hearing, and Friday the court will call Martin Haskins for trial the third time on indictments charging robbery. The length of the session, which was originally set for adjourn ment Thursday night, will depend up- on the time consumed in the Haskins trial
 Judge Clark is being generally com phmented for the dispatch with which
