Salvador Urias, Jorge Prieto Lau-
rens, Leovilgido Garcia. Lorenzo
Nieto and General Francisco Coss.
Marshal Hicks, San Antonio attor-
ney. argued that because the word
knowingly had been omitted from
the indictments, the men we're not
charged with any violation Of law.
He referred to an amendment of the
neutrality law by congress in 1917
whereby il was made a criminal Of
rense only to knowingly plot a
revolution against another nation.
Until that change, he pointed out,
persons could innocently be partici-
pating in n revolt plot.
G. J. Lynch Of San Antonio, arrued
that the indictments did not show d
connection between the alleged OBJ
jective Of dynamiting trains and kill
ing passengers in Mexico and overt
acts.
Federal District Judge Duval West
was expected to rule on the motions
late today.
All eight Mexicans were repre-
sented BY counsel. None, however.
was in the court room while the mo-
tions were being argued. Neither
was Adolfo De la Huerta. former
provisional president Of Mexico, in
the city as had been expected.
District Attorney Hartman, in
charge Of the governments case, re-
piled TO the defense arguments with
the contention that the charge OF
conspiracy to launch a military expe-
dition against Mexico sufficiently
implied that the men were accused
Of wilful plotting. He pointed out
that they were not charged with vio-
lation Of the neutrality laws, but
conspiracy to violate.
Judge West also took under ad-
visement defense motions to sup
press certain evidence on the ground
that it was not obtained legally.

him and his cabinet to resign, has

"The national effort adds the
proclamation, "was necessary in or

That SO many civilians. incEucfng

those killed or wounded II explained
solely on the ground that, instead Of
running for cover when shots were
heard, the people got within range
in their attempts to see what was
going on.
BY a queer reversal of circum-
stances, the men who died defending
the government will not be given
military funerals, while those of the
Pilsudski forces who fell will be
buried with honors.

Church's Modest Beginning

In about the year 1880 the first
Methodist church in the United States
was built in Kent county, Delaware. 1t
was called Barratt's chapel and is as
solid today as on the day 1t was opened
for divine worship. The land it occu-
pies was decided for the purpose by
Philip Barratt, in Murderkill Hundred.
FL re in 1774 Bishop Thomas Coke of
the Methodist church met Bishop Fran
els Asbury, the latter the first man in
America ordained by the MethOdists
to the Episcopal Office. Out of the
meeting grew plan to carry Method
ism all over the United States. The
first native Methodist minister in
America is said to have been Richard
Owen Of Maryland. One of the most
famous of such ministers was "Father"
Joshua Thomas, who for the better
part of half-century Travelled up and
down the Chesapeake in big "bug-
we as the long, narrow, and very
staunch boats of certain type are
called, preaching to the islanders, most
of whom were and are fishermen.

How much do the farmers and
dairymen of the United States pay
in toll to bacteria in milk? In proc
ess Of arriving at the answer to
this question, representatives of lead
ing milk and dairy products COM
panies of New York recently met
with officials Of the State Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, with the
Department Of Farms and Markets
and the College of Agriculture at
the Experiment Station, Geneva.
The bacterial count is being used
more and more as a basis for de-
termining how much per pound a
farmer is to be paid for his milk.
Getting the bacterial count under a
given figure means millions of doll
lars annually to Uncle Sans dairy
men. Dairymen, themselves. are
alive to this question, and where the
milk produced is a material part of
the income from the farm, COM
plete sanitary precautions are being
taken to insure a low bacterial count
in the milk.
Precautions start at the beginning
Of milk production and continue
clear through until the time the milk
Is in the hands Of the consumer.
To begin with. properly ventilated.
easily cleaned stables are provided
plenty of bedding is given the cows;

accommodate the particular breed of
