Asks Discharge
of SCllei Case
IF PLEA rs, NOT GRANTED DE-
PENDANT WILL ASK CHANGE
OF VENUE.

Attorney James III. Hall of Marshall
asked to have the justice cases ap-
pealed from justice court in this city,
in the criminal libel proceedings
brought under a compaint made by
Albert Pfaender, against w. E. Schei,
Lamberton editor, dismissed upon
three grounds. The case appealed
from Justice w. J. Strate's court at
Searles was also asked to be dismissed
New Ulm Justice Disqualified.
Attorney Hall stated that Justice N.
Henningsen was disqualified because
he had not taken the oath of office and
filed a bond with the clerk of court
as provided by the statutes. The at
torney stated this clearly disqualified
him.
Atty. Hall also argued that Justice
Henningsen, under the statutes, had
no legal right to adjourn his court
for day and take the case under adj
visement before rendering judgment.
He interpreted the statutes as de-
manding judgment should be rendered
Immediately, without adjournment,
when defendant waived the right to
be tried before jury.
The third ground upon which the
Marshall attorney asked the case to
be dismissed was that of juris-
diction. He stated under the statutes
"a defendant could not be hailed be-
fore a justice outside of the county
in which the newspaper was published,
when criminal libel proceedings were
instituted.
AS to the Searles case, motion was
made to dismiss, on the grounds Of
lack of jurisdiction.
Before Judge Johnson.
The motion to dismiss the four
cases was made in court chambers
Thursday evening before Judge Albert
w. Johnson, of Red Wing, who will
render his opinion in the near future.
It is expected that the opinion will
not be received in time for calling
the case for trial at this term of court.
If the motion to dismiss is not grant
ed, Attorney Hall gave notice that he
would move for change of venue,
stating that 4 fair and impartial trial
could not be secured in Brown coun-
ty.
Demurrer to Indictment.
Attorneys for Schei demurred to the
Indictment returned by the grand
jury on the grounds that no criminal
libel was shown therein. The de-
murrer was argued before Judge |.
M. Olsen Thursday evening. The mat
ter was taken under advisement by

ON 18TH AMENDMENT

The following item appeared i'll the
news column OF the Chicago Tribune

a brand new scheme for getting rid
of the Eighteenth Amendment, which
established National Prohibition, is
proposed by the Society for the Re-
peal OF the. Eighteenth Amendment,

The plan is to take advantage OF
article Y. of the United States con-
stitution which permits the calling of
national convention to propose
amendments to the constitution on
the application of the legislatures OF
two thirds of the states. The society
declares that this method obtains a

reau of education, it is stated that the
total number of these schools In 1917
IS was 1881. The mailing list Of
the bureau includes the names Of
$4,000 high schools. The number
Of these schools has increased over
452 per cent since 1890. This means
that one high school has been estab-
lished In this country each day in
each calendar year since 1S90-a high
school a day for % years.
In 1890 COS per cent Of the high
schools were under public control, but
in 1918 the public-cOntrolled high
schools were 81 per cent of the whole
The average size of city high
school is G53 students and of rural
school 50 students.
In 1890 only $40 persons in each
1000 population were enrolled in pub
lie high schools. In 1918 the corre-
spending number was 1876, or almost
five times as great proportion. Cali

Congressman King is one of an in
creasing number Of Republicans In the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr..
King is the author of bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble conven-
ton and frame constitution.
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and self-governing nation"
The transfer Of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American In
vestments in the Philippines and for
the providing Of coaling stations and
submarine bases In the islands by the

Word from the Philippines Is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed if they
do not get 1t.

head Of the American relief work In

representation of Monarch Of the
Time of Abraham Now in
Pennsylvania Museum.

In the dim old days of the patriarch
Abraham people looked very much as
they do now, judging from the Oldest
representation of human figures I'M
earthed by the toiling brotherhood of
psychologists. Two striking figures,
one standing and one seated, are in
cluded in the elaborate design of the
clay seal, or postage stamp" which
has excited the enthusiasm of DR.. Lee
grain, curator of the Babylonian Sec
ton of the University of Pennsylvania
museum.
DR.. Legrain has figured out the in
scriptions of the little tablet as indi-
eating that 1t dates from the period
when "Ur of the Chaldees," mentioned
In Genesis In connection with the his
tory of Abraham, was a flourlshing
kingdom. And he finds reason to be-
l1eve that the seated figure, decorated
with flounces Of beautiful accordion
plating is a portrait of his majesty
lbi-Sin, the last king Of Ur and pos
sibly an intimate friend of the Father
Of Israel.
To the modern eye both figures are
remarkably we'll drawn and lifelike
In attitude, especially considering the
fact that they were modelled in clay
on a very small scale. DR.. Legrain
thinks the tablet served the double
purpose of seal and postage stamp
on a sack Of money forwarded to a
banker named Shulpae by his rever-
ence the high priest of the temple Of
Ur, at which Abraham wcrshiped.
