should be broken. that he should be shot, and that he should be hanged. The testim ony of the Mayor of Fort Worth, H. c. MedAham, that he had hired special prosecutors at S15.- 900 fee to prosecute Norris for kill ing his friend. Chipps, also was stressed by the defense.
 No evidence was heard on Nor ris's allegation that "a combination" of politics and religion-of the city administration and Roman Catholics had been formed to prosecute him, all of the testimony going to the question of alleged widespread fixed opinions in the case. The judge announced after noon recess that the defense had established it's case on the change of venue and that he did not wish to hear any more eyi- dence on the question.
 Prosecution attorneys vigorously protested that they should be heard on the combination" charges. and intimated that they wished to de- fend Mayor Meacham and the citi- zenship of Tarrant county, as they stated the impression had been left that the citizenship was not fair minded. Judge Hosey declined to re- verse his stand.
 Seat Of Trial Knotty Problem
 The question of where the case should be sent then became knotty problem. The attorneys announced at one time that they had agreed on Austin, but when it developed that District Attorney Hanger had not been a party to this agreement and that he wanted a more populous county, the agreement was with drawn by prosecution attorneys.
 Hanger pointed out, however. that since his term expires Jan. l. and it is probable ethat the case cannot come to trial before that date, no personal desires influenced his judgment. He believed the case was of such magnitude and interest that the facilities of larger city would be needed.
 Judge Hosey said he did not want to send it to San Antonio because Of the large Catholic population there, which might be an injustice to Nor ris, and that he had heard Norris had experienced trouble in Dallas and Houst on and that he would rather select some other place.
 Attorneys consumed hours in arguing relative merits of Texas cities. Almost every town in the state was mentioned in conference and in the court room.

SLUSH FUND TALK HURTS SMITH NOT
Illinois Race Close, However,
 Early Indications Are

Chicago, Nov. tR-Frank K. L. Smith. republican. has been elected United States senator from Illinois after one of the closest races in the states history. He defeated George E. Brennan. democratic national committeeman, and Hugh S. Magill. independent republican, and a dozen minor candidates contesting for the seat of Senator William B. McKin- ley, republican.
 A proposition to allow individual states to define the alcoholic content of beverages resulted in heavy vote in favor of modification of the Volstead law, but Brennan was una ble to survive the normally republi- can vote.
 Magill, who like Smith. ran as dry, and entered the contest as a protest against Smiths candidacy. after a senatorial committee reveal ed that Smith accepted large pri- mary campaign contributions from public utility heads while chairman of the state commerce commission ran 8 poor third.
 Smiths organization insisted that the plurality of its candidate on complete returns would near 10000 while the most conservative gave him 33,00J votes to the good.

REMINGTON GIVES
 HANBURY BIG VOTE
(. Q. P. Candidate for Assembly
 Leads Entire Field

Election returns from Newington show that almost 70 per cent of the total number of voters turned out yesterday to cast their ballots. George w. Hanbury. candidate for representative. proved to be a popu- lar man, getting the largest number of votes on the state ticket. George H. Gahb. candidate for sheriff. led the democratic ticket with total of 51 votes.
 As has been the case in the past, the town went republican. casting 40S straight rooubii an ballots out of total of GIG ballots cast. There were 73 straight democratic and a total of 135 split ballots cast.
 MT. Hanbury. in winning, receiv- ed 515 votes against S9 for Herbert L.

NORRIS IS GIVEN
 CHANCE 0F VENUE
Texas Clergyman Will Have
 Trial at Austin

Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. S.-LP>- Austin, the capital city of Texas, vas designated yesterday as the scene for the trial of Dr. J. Frank Norris. Baptist minister and Funda- mentalist leader, on charge of murder for the staying here last July of D. E. Chips, wealthy lum- Der man.
 District Judge George Hosey, after hearing a score of witnesses testify that Dr. Norris could not obtain a fair and impartial trial in the de- fendant's home city, decided to grant the pastor a change of venue and transferred the case to Austin.
 The date of the trial must be set by the criminal court there. Dis trict Attorney Hanger said he thought 1t would be in the January term. The only step now is to trans fer the papers to the Austin court and certify that the change of venue has been placed in that county. Norris Calls Change Bombshell
 Dr. Norris was elated at the turn of the case.
 This crowd is already hoisted on it's own petard," he said in a state ment to the Associated Press. They came here thinking they were go- ing 10 show lot of things against me, but our change of venue was a bombshell. It was the only way 10 uncover this conspiracy against me and to show that is the real motive of this prosecution.
 "The prosecution has not leg to stand on. The whole case is over. Meacham has shown that he is pay ing an enormous sum to prosecute me, and the testimony also shows that his friends have deserted him and that they are all scared. l said that would hang the hides of any one who mixed in my affairs on my radio 25o feet above the ground and this frightened them 1il off. They haven't a thing 10 stand on.
 Tt doesn't matter now where the case goes. l am willing for 1t to 20 to any of the 252 counties in Texas except Tarrant.'
 One of the weighty considerations in Judge Hoseys decision was be- licved to have been the response of the court room full of prospective jurors to the courts questions as to how many of them had formed opinions. About so per cent, of the veniremen held up their hands, and. when the judge asked how many did not have a fixed opinion only q few put up their hands.
 Some of the witnesses called by the defense said they had heard men express the belief that Norris neck

DEATH OR DARNING?
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Probably number of feel that the man in
Iowa who choked his wife to death because she re-
fused to darn his socks, should be given the death
tence. 1t is hoped that such villain will not escape
the penalty.
certain conditions, but assuredy for protesting
darning
If. however the judge and the jury with some
careessly drawn up the hole in the hose find pity en-
tering into their natures let hope they will think
upon the thousands OF who have longed to rebel
do
Let them then, sentence this cruel husband to
life imprisonment with hard labor at darning. This is
the only punishment to fit his crime. For even the
neither regions If to believe all told, can
hold nothing than eternal basketful of worn
out socks to be mended.
If only had of these hdeous mental
tasks to perform they would not be hard upon
bellious Only bitter experience can gauge the
miseries of darning No imagination encompass
its hatefu1ness
This woman, who has so bravely gone her death
rebelling the task, is martyr to great and noble
cause, leader in the vanguard of womans emancpa-
ton. Would that we could all muster up the courage
to fling their socks in the faces of the men, even
though die for it.
May we follow in the footsteps of this noble leader
and take as our slogan these inspiring words. Die
rather than darn.
And If the men object, let them sit down and do
this work while. If they had had look the
family mendng would all have gone barefoot
through the ages
