MARSHALL TRIAL
ON NEXT WEEK
Minor Civil Suits Heard
i'm Circuit Court Before
Judge Belden.
SCHMIDT LOSES CASE

William Marshalls trial on the
Marshall, which was set for today in
circuit court, has been continued to
next week, due to the absence of Dis
trict Attorney Morris Barnett, who is
in New York today, and of the assistant
district attorney, who is in Chicago,
both away on official business.
The case against Edward Thomas,
charged with second degree murder
arising out of the death of Coroner
T. T. Parker and his daughter Jean
Parker has been continued until Jan
Baxter, Carl Otto and Charles Irv-
ing, charged with being access
series after the fact, have likewise
been continued.
The civil suit of Catherine Grad
zielewski against John Schmidt for
damages arising out of an alleged as
sault by the latter at the State Line
Inn July Is, 1924, was heard before
the court and jury in circuit court
Tuesday afternoon. The plaintiff asked
for damages of $500 and claimed that
Schmidt had used profane language
and pushed her out of the place on
the date in July when she came to
fetch her husband who she said had
been getting intoxicated on Schmidt's
drinks.
Joseph Higgins of the firm of Hig-
gins and Higgins, attorneys, repre-
sented the plaintiff in the action. The
jury brought in a verdict for the
plaintiff and allowed damages of $3.50.
Maddox Case Settled.
A suit on contract of H. G. Maddox
against George Amborn was heard be-
fore the court. A partial settlement
was made between the parties at liti-
cation without the help of the court,
and in the matter still at issue, Judge
Belden assigned $500 as the damages
for the plaintiff. The case arose out
of an adjustment of the affairs of the
bankrupt firm of William H. Ander-
son and George H. Bjering, who had
been partners in business at Twin
Lakes. Maddox represented the firm
as trustee in bankruptcy.
Divorce Case Today.
This morning in circuit court a di-
vorce was granted Rose Born from
Bernard Born. The couple were mar
ried at Kenosha September 6, 1917,
ait Kenosha. They have no children.
Born started the divorce action, but
the divorce was granted the wife on
her counter claim showing desertion.

But Brings Himself
to County Jail

R. C. Halvorsen called up a man
who lives on Salem avenue and
threatened to commit suicide by
blowing out his brains" Tuesday
night, according to report which was
given the police.
Officers Tusler and Pecan set out
to look for the desperate man, but
could not find him. The reason was
good: Halvorsen decided to give him
self up, and had reported at the
county Jail, asking them to look after
him a bit. 1t was the most sensible
move the police have ever known from
a man who was in a melancholy mood
Halvorsen had been sent to jail
to serve term on the charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
Under the hard labor provision he was
sent out to work.

1918 that the executive had not de-
liyered his annual communication
in person. 1t was transmitted by
messenger and read separately in the
two houses.
Congressional leaders generally held
out little hope for the translation of
many of the presidents proposals into
law before this Congress dies on
March a. Their views already have
been given to the executive at confer
ences. The latest of which ,was held
early today between the president and
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Re-
publican senate leader, and Senator
Pepper, Republican, Pennsylvania.
A number of the proposals advance
e. by far Elsolidgs are severed by
bills which came ovex from the last
session. There are other pending
measures to which the president
voiced disapproval, chief among them
being Senator LaFollette's bill to
change the basis Of valuation of the
railroads.
Large Crowds In Galleries.
The reading Of the message in tie
two houses was simultaneous. There
were comparatively large crowds in
the galleries who appeared to give
even closer attention to the presidents
recommendations than did the MEM
bers of the House and Senate.
AS the reading went forward there
were private conferences on the floors
by groups of senators and representa-
tives. Much of the time, however, the
Lawmakers followed the reading close
ly, especially that relating to the
subjects Of taxation, agriculture and,
Muscle Shoals.
Just before the message arrived the
House steering committee had mapped
out legislative program providing
for passage by the House before the
Christmas recess of at least three Of
the dozen annual supply bills.
Tentative plans of the leaders call
for a holiday recess during Christ
was week and for a one day off at
New Years. Belief was expressed that
if this program were adhered to and
appropriation bills given right of way
throughout the SESSION, all Of them
will be in the hands of the president
before March a.
Tie interior department appropria- I.
ton bill, first of the supply measures
to be drafted, was taken up today
by the House.
The reading of the presidential
message required more than an hour.
In contrast to the occasions when
presidents have appeared in person
there was not ripple of applause in
the Senate from the beginning to the
end of the reading.
In the House, however, the presi-
dents opposition to the publication OF
income tax returns was applauded, as
was his statement opposing cancella-
ton of war debts. Both Democrats
and Republicans Joined in the hand
clapping when the clerk read that por-
ton of the message calling attention
to the necessity of conserving the
navy's oil supply.

State Will Help
Squelch Murder Gang

Madison, Wis.-Governor Blaine to-
day declared that the cause for the
numerous murders in Madison's Ital-
ian section must be ascertained and
said that if local officials are unable
to determine such cause, the state
would take hand in the situation.
He offered "all the pos-er the state
has to determine the cause and assist
in eliminating it."

Washington, d. G.. The task Of
finding a solution for the long debat-
ed Muscle Shoals problem confronted
the Senate today a unanimous con-
sent agreement reached at the last
session giving the question right OF
way.
In efforts to reach common
ground on which the various factions
can stand, there is a general DISPOSE
ton to look to the White House for
guidance. Leaders of the forces sup
porting the numerous proposals for
disposition of the Muscle Shoals prop
erty generally feel that nothing can
be accomplished now without the ad-
ministration's support.
Unless the president takes the sit
uation in hand, there is possibility
that debate on the subject will extend
over several days with chance of 1t
ending in a virtual deadlock. Sena-
tors approached the task Of solu-
tioh with widely divided views, and
with come, on the other hand having
no definite convictions.
The president is known to favor the
lease or sale of the property and the
appointment of commission of SEN
ate and House members authorized to
procure a suitable contract. If his
suggestion is pressed in the senate,
sufficient votes probably could be
mustered to carry it.
An eleventh hour effort was made
to get Henry Ford to renew the offer
he withdrew after it had been pending
for nearly three years when Senators
Hefin, Alabama, and McKeller, Ten
nessee Democrats, photographed re-
quest to Ford yesterday that he re-
new his bid.
Every effort will be made by some
members to get the Muscle Shoals
question settled at this session of
Congress so the property may be put
into immediate operation on per-
manent basis after the completion of
the Wilson Dam next July.
