The Court of General Sessions
continues at work and many cases are
being tried. The court got down to
work Monday in earnest and the
trial of cases progress in rapid Or
der.
The case of the State VS.. Simpson
was on trial at our last issue. The
jury in this case after celebrating
for an hour returned a verdict find
ing the defendant not guilty Of the
charge of murder but guilty of car
rying concealed weapons. The court
sentenced the defendant to pay a
fine of one hundred dollars or to
serve thirty days Imprisonment. The
fine was paid and the defendant dis
charged.
Immediately after this case the
State announced ready in the case
of The State VS.. Lawrence Callahan
charged with murder. The defendant
announced ready and the trial be-
gan. Callahan was charged with the
homicide of Jane Sturkey by running
over her with his automobile. The
accident happened on Haskell's Hill
in this city last August. Several
witnesses were examined in the case.
The State sought to show that Gala
ham was drinking, but the evidence
was very strong that he was not. He
testified that the homicide was due
to unavoidable accident by reason
of something going wrong with his
car. He offered many witnesses to
his. good reputation and to his good
standing. The jury accepted his YER
sion Of the accident and found him
not guilty. He was defended by J..
Moore Mars and VIM. P. Greene.

Henry Ford's contest against the
seating of the Mihiganc schmhs
the seating Of the Michigan
senator. Witnesses were call
ed in quick. succession and fol
comparatively brief periods to sup
plement testimony that they had
given at the. trial of the criminal
case against the senator at Grand
Rapids, Mich. The committee also
heard at second hand what purport-
ed to be Mr.. Eord's own theory of
Senator Newberry's campaign from
Alton Templeton of Detroit.
"Mr. Ford called me in after the
election" Mr.. Templeton said, "and
told me that he believed gang OF
Jews had a general conspiracy to
control the senate and the govern
ment and that they had backed New
berry. He said that a million dollars
had been spent in the state to
carry the election"
A Victory Barnes, a brother-in.
law of the senator, said he, gave
s25,000 to- the campaign without be.
ing solicited, whereupon Alfred
Lucking, counsel for Ford, read
from trial record book accounts
showing that Mr.. Barnes is credited
with $45,OoO. Frank w. Blair, a De-

funds, said "a clerk in my Office

William. Nickel, a Democrat OF
Michigan, said he was given $36S
from the Newberry campaign to
finance a Democratic candidate to
run against Ford in the primary

. Denver, June 9.-The organized
building craftsmen of the country
must free the building industry Of
inteh-union strife, craft jurisdic-
tiona disputes and other unneces-
sary and burdensome restrictions,
John F. Donlin, president Of the
building trades department. of the
American Federation Of Labor TO-
night, told delegates to the depart
ment's annual convention in an ad-
dress in which he also urged capital
and labor to cooperate to reduce the
cost Of living. /
Every organization must be guar
anteed to arbdtrate all questions aris-
ing out Of the industry, the labor
leader asserted, and provisions must
be made to prevent any cessation of
work pending the adjustment Of any
controversy.
Ths speaker urged that the de-
partment reafRrm its support to the
national board of jurisdictional
awards in the building industry.
Capital and labor should cooper
ate to reduce the cost of living he de-
clared, adding: sCapital and man
sgement must start up all indus
tries, labor agreeing to maximum
output per individual thus keeping
wages up and the, cost=of living
down. Capital and management
should also bear the burden of read
justment. Give to the masses what
they consume at the cost Of pro-
ducton plus a fair profit"
The aggregate wage paid building
workers is not high nor responsible
for the high cost of buildings, Mr..
Donlin said. He blamed the high
cost of living on "high financing,
excessive overhead, excessive prof
it's" and combinations organized
through the years just past.
Urging that a campaign Of home
building be inaugurated at once, he
said: "It can be done more expedient
~ and cheaper now than in the re-
cent past or in the near future"

PROGRESS TOWARD
IMPROVEMENT

TONE OF FINANCIAL SITUATION
IN EUROPE BETTER IN MAY, I.
/ BUT TRADE AND SHIPPING
DULL-yHREAr OF STRIKE IN
TEXTILE cENTERs DEMoRAL-
LIES COTTON BUSINESS.
Washington, Juhe 9.-World eco
nomie conditions during May pointed
to no immediate general business re-
vival, according to the monthly sum-
mary from it's foreign representatives
issued tonight by the bureau Of for
eign and domestic commerce.
Considerable improvement finan-
cially, was noted in Europe but trade
and shipping were dull with the
marked industrial difficulties appar-
ent in some countries. In the Far
East improvement in conditions was
reported slight and in South America
the situation was declared practi-
cally unchanged but with less con.
fident tone to future prospects.
Varying conditions in the cotton
markets abroad were reported. In
quires relative to American cotton
were reported to be increased in
Belgium and a slight increase in i'm
ports was noted in France. Stocks Of,
American cotton at Hayre May 19
totalled 117,o0o bales, and $4,000
bales were reported afloat. The cot
ton market in Portugal was declared
to be understocked while notable
decrease in the stocks Of cotton in
Great Britain was observed during
the month amounting to $4,000 bales
as compared with 100000 bales on
hand at the same time last year. :.
In England during The month 8
downward tendency in price was
shown. A general strike in. the cot
ton industry there is expected, the
report said, because of proposed
wage reductions. ~
Demand for cotton in China was
reported dull because of overstocked
markets, though there was notable
increase in the imports of cotton mill
machinery, cotton spindles and cot
ton yarn, while Chinese and Japanese
investment capital was going into
cotton mills.
While money is easier in Great
Britain the coal strike has caused
la general. stagnation of trade and
industry, the London report declared
The industrial situation probably
never has been worse, the report con-
tinued with more than 100000 per-
sons idle, and all industries not
shut down operating on part time.
The French government appears
satisfied with the success of the
$100, 100000 loan foated in the Unit
ed States and feels twill permit pay
ment of debts previously contracted
in this. country, the Paris report as
serted. Evidences of a revival in
Belgian industries affected by the
British coal strike were reported
from Brussels, with an increase in
the imports of America foodstuffs
and cotton.
A decreased foreign trade with an
acute industrial crisis resulting from
decreased prices was regarded as the
outstanding development in Italy
during the month. Splendid crop
prospects, however were reported.
The financial situation appears to
be improving in Germany the Berlin
report declared but the industrial sit
uation is being. seriously hampered by
the Silesian troubles and conse-
quent coal shortage. Marked
activity in establishing, the
agencies in Austria by British, East
Indian and Japanese interests was
noted.
There were no signs of improve
ment in economic conditions in the

shave been using publicity to de-
shoy labor organizations. Large
sums of money have been expended

lMr. Hays, who is secretary-treas'
urer Of the international Typograph

44-hour week in the printing indus
try was being combatted by a very
small percentage of the employing
printers of their own initiative.
"a strenuous and continued fight
is being mada," he added, "for the

week, they will be boycot4ed and
their business ruined" e.

This query was received by the

"You win, buddy Smith, by 5000
