PRETTY PROBLEM
PUT TO THE JURY
Three Possible Explanations
for Squire'S Black Eye.

A jury of twelve men was expected
to decide late this afternoon several i'm
portant questions concerning an alleged
black eye which was worn for several
days by Justice of the Peace Charles
Hanlein of Ravenswood.
Among the questions so far advanced
concerning the black eye and other in
juries said to have been administered
by E. c. Mcpherson, a resident of Ra-
venswood, upon the person of the squire
are:
Did the squire obtain his black
and swollen eye because of too much
sleep?
Because he stayed up too later
Or did a big fish jump cut of the
river and gave the squire tap with
it's tail?
These serious questions have been ad-
vaneed to a jury in the Mcpherson as
sauIt and battery case, being tried In
Squire Louis Kiefer's court.
Mcpherson has entered a plea of not
guilty to assaulting Hanlein, so counsel
advances the theory that fish or too
much sleep must have been the cause OF
Squire Hanleins black eye.
Among the witnesses appearing for the
state are Robert McGi1l, Earl Little,
Charles Hanlein, Roy f. Harris and Jo-
seph Hawkins.
Mcpherson was expected to go on the
stand in his own defense.
The alleged battle in Ravenswood hap
pened on the night of July is, near the
Mcpherson home, following a spiritual
party said to have been attended by
"Shiner" Everett Middaugh and others,
according to the evidence.
When the squire and others attempt
ed to restore order, Mcpherson is alleged
to have struck Hanlein and also threat
ened to shoot 'em all"
Following this assertion, the crowd is
said to have dwindled.
The case against Mcpherson was sched-
uled to have been tried about ten days
ago, but was continued.

changed It's plans on word from Alice
Paul, it's chairman, who is In New York,
IL was learned here.
According to word here, Gov. Holcomb
has called a special session Of the Con-
necticut legislature to pass laws pro-
viding for registration of women.
Suffragists also hoped 10 have the
amendment considered.
Officials OF the department OF justice

there was no doubt IL Connecticut rati-

they expect a request for one from the

WHERE DECISION
WILL HINGE.
II was said informally at the depart
ment, however. that the question OF Ten
nessees ratification would turn on:
Whether the hrst motion in the Ten
nessee house TO reconsider, which failed
while suffrage opponents were absent
prevails;
Whether the right to offer motion
20 reconsider IN Tennessee automatically
died two days after the resolution to
ratify suffrage was first adopted, and
Whether the absence OF a quorum at
the time OF the first reconsideration in
validates action OF the Tennessee house.
1t WIS the impression here that these
questions must be decided by the United
States supreme court and the decision
probably viii not come until after the
fall elections.
Miss Emma wold. acting secretary Of
the party, said:
After consulting several constitutional
lawyers, we are sure that suffrage is a
fact"
The action Of the Tennessee house late

Dear Bonny-You know this is a
country where speech is unrestricted.
There is no reason why you should
not reply to Paul G. Davis arraign-
ment of your administration if there
is anything that you might say in
your own defense.
You may believe that having col
lected the fees and retired from the
political race it is to your advan-
tage to keep still, but in the years
to come you win remember that you
never even denied taking money to
which you were not morally entitled
and asking the county TO spend
money for assistance for you in the
performance of what you We're paid
to do.
Is the money worth while under
these circumstances
