It has the added charm of ending happily.

 .I shall charge the jury said Judse Sessions, that if Senator Newberry par ticipated actively in the things whic" caused the expenditure of money then he caused it to be expended.
 The court said that the state statute is only referred to by the federal law as a measure of the amount which may pc expended or used or caused to De eN- pended or used," and that what some body else may expend has nothing to do with it"
 .eThat applies to the candidate, as I un- derstand it." said Mir. Nichols.
 'sYes, that is the reason the amount is limited to s3, 750," replied Judge Ses- sions
 Both government and defense argu- ments were heard today.

 As the license schedule stands drawn and was prepared for presentation and confirmation before the meeting of the commissioners today. wholesalers are taxed one-tenfh of 1 per cent of their annual gross business, and retailers one sixth of per cent of their annual gross business.
 Instead of this percentage basis they want a flat rate based as follows:
 The city to choose a representative dealer of magnitude and use his business as a basis for the flat rate for the oig fellows to proceed along the same line TOT the fneuiuin NoiuHe ol p"S'.. =, cerns, and yet again for the little Ter lows.
 This, they say, will give graduation of the burden and save much troupe and calculation.
 Dealers who were present at the con- ference proposed that a committee or five of the automobile concerns repre- sentatives be chosen to confer with tne board of city commissioners, and of thls the commission yesterday approved.
 The final conference will be held trl- day afternoon at o'clock between the committee of five and the board of com missioners Their Joint findings Will DC held satisfactory to all at interest.
