new TRIAL Plea
Judge Sparks, at Mobiles
vile, Signs Defense Bill
of Exceptions.
Be- Times sDecial

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Dec, A.
Judge VIII M. Sparks of Rushville,
special Judge in the trial Of d. c..
Stephenson, convicted of the murder
of Madge Oberholtzer, came here
today to sign a bill of exceptions,
filed by defense attorneys in a move
to obtain a new trial for Stephen
son.
The bill Of exceptions is in connec-
ton with remarks Judge Sparks
made when Miss Oberholtzer's dying
statement was introduced as evil
dence. The remarks were made
before the jury and defense
attorneys at that time charged
they were prejuiicial, and asked
that the trial be halted and a new
jury obtained. Judge Sparks over
ruled the motion. -
Next week is the deadline for the
new trial motion. Sparks said. I'm
der the law such motions must be
made within thirty days after con-
viction.
Stephenson probably will be given
a brief respite from his labors as
chair maker at the Indiana State
Prison. He is expected to be brought
here under guard for the hearing.

COOLIDGE FACES
SENATE BATTLE
ON APPOINTEES
Independent Group Sus-
picious President Stack
ing Commissions.
Bv United Press

Bu United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Presi-
dent Coolidge again will run into a
Senate fight over the deluge of ap-
pointments he will unload upon that
body for confirmation soon after
Congress convenes Monday.
The independent group is suspici-
GUS that Coolidge is stacking the
various governmental commissions
like the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the Shipping Board, the
Federal Trade Commission, and the
Tariff Commission with men Of his
own school of thought.
The first tiff starts when the
name of Thomas F. Woodlock, New
York, Of the Insterstate Commerce
Commission is sent up. His nomina-
tion twice failed of action, once in
the o.d Congress and once in the
special session.
A second stir will be created over
reappointment Of Charles w. Hunt,
Iowa, to the Federal Trade Com
mission. 1t is the contention of the
independents that the personnel Of
the commission has nullified it's eff
fectiveness, and despite the efforts
of Senator Cummins, Republican, of
Iowa, to round UP sympathy for
Hunt, his nomination will be op-
posed.
No new nominations for the Ship.
ping Board and Tariff Commission
are expected at the outset, but their
personnel will be analyzed in argu-
ments over the other candidates,
and when new, nominations for these
posts are brought forward they will
be closely scrutinized.
