The object of the strange love of the two wom en was Ernest Meiche, a high school student, who lived with them.

The boy has denies the charge. The boy has been exonerated of any part in the murder. Plan to Speed Up Courts Outlined by Justice Taft V Continuance of Cases to Ac commodate Lawyers Criti cized; Limitation of Post ponements Sought. By AuiH’Inled Pr.H, Washington, Nov. 27,—Important changes In rules for the transaction of business In the federal courts throughout the country, which are expected to speed up the conduct of trials, are outlined in letters just sent to all federal district Judges by Chief Justice Taft. The proposed changes were work ed out at the recent Judicial confer ence here of senior circuit judges who considered them vital as a means of expediting the orderly transaction of all federal litigation and preventing the clogging of the court dockets. Chief Justice Taft as chairman of the conference, in trans silt ting the recommendations to the expressed the opinion that Thlsy • would contribute largely to •he practical dispatch of business In the conduct of your court.” Must Be Cause fur Continuance. To force prompt disposition of all cases, the district Judges are urged to adopt a rule providing that when any case might have been brought to trial, but has not been within one year, the counsel and the parties to such proceedings shall be given notice of the first term of court following Tan uary 1 each year. 30 days In advance of its opening, and If no action is taken In such cases within that period of grace, the eourt shall, upon opening the term, enter an order of dismlssa 1. The district eourts are urged to adopt a rule which would prevent the continuance of cases to another term by agreement of counsel. Other engagements of counsel should not he accepted as a ground for continu ance, it is held, and no continuances should be allowed except for good cause shown by affidavits, such as sickness of a party or unavoidable absence of an important witness. I'lx Hearing Times. It Is also suggested that the courts at frequent intervals fix times for the heading of motions anil the set tlement of Issues. Postponement of matters on such calls should not be permitted, the conference agreed, ex cept for causes that would Justify continuance of a case set for trial. Another suggestion,‘designed to pre tent delay frequently Incident to the selection of a Jury, Is the adoption of a rule by the district judges, where by the examination of prospective Jurors would be mads by them alone. Should counsel on either side desire additional Inquiry to determine juror's qualifications beyond that con ducted by the Judge, the new- rule would require that he submit the questions to the judge fur presenta tion at his discretion.

Leaders of Egypt Held as Plotters Four Prominent Members of Premier's Party Arrested; Led Conspiracy Against Assassinated Sirdar. Treaty to Be Negotiated Rx AMwInlf*! Pr«,. Ijonrinn. Nnv. 27 —The British au thorities in Cairo have taken into their own hands drastic measures to suppress possible nationalistic plot tings by Ihp arrest of four prominent members of the party organization headed by former Premier Zagloul Pasha. Those arrested were Nekrashy Bey, a secretary in the ministry of the in terior in Zagloul's cabinet; Abdul Rahman Fahmy, one of Zagloul's closest political assistants; William Makram Obeid, a prominent Coptic member of the nationalist delegation, and Barakat Pasha, who was Zag loul's minister of the interior. According to statements in official quarters in London tonight the men arrested were leaders in an under ground conspiracy against British In terests which probably was partly re sponsible for the murder of Sirdar Stark and which might, if left un hampered in Its activities, might re sult in further unfortunate incidents. Arrest Preventative Measure. There was fear that this prompt action on the part of the British might result in another Egyptian ministerial crisis; but, according to the latest Cairo advices, it was an nounced there, after a hastily called cabinet council, that there would he no ministerial resignations as the British authorities had accepted Pre mier Zlwar a proposal that the men taken into custody should be handed over to the Egyptian! to be dealt with. Apparently the arrest of these na tlonalists Is regarded ns merely a pre ventatlve measure and they will be placed only under observation »n* control. No manifestations or dis orders have followed the arrests and throughout Egypt calm utlll prevails. There Is jio hint of any active op position to the withdrawal of the Egyptian units from the .Sudan. The withdrawal is expected to he com pleted by the end of the week. No News on Allenhy Plot. Nothing is known in London of an alleged plot against the life of Field Marshal Viscount Allenhy, the British high commissioner. The Egyptians have taken no further active steps toward bringing the Egyptian affair to the official cognizance of the league of nations. Opinion In official quarters here r» mains optimistic that a solution of the situation will he reached by means of direct negotiations between Zlwar and Viscount Allenhy before the Egyptian parliament meets again. By A MstH’Isteil Pres*. Cairo, Nov. 27.—Ahmed Zulfikni Pasha, Egyptian minister to Rome, who was offered the portfolio of for eign affair* In the new cabinet of Zl war Pasha, has declined the pi>sf. The premier will temporarily retain It himself. Ahmed Moussa Pasha, Judge of the court of appeals, has been named minister of Justice. Henderson to Cairn. Commenting on the appointment of Neville Henderson as British minister plenipotentiary in Cairo, the newspa per Ahram, a Zagloulist organ, says It understands Mr. Henderson romes to Cairo with full authority to nego tiate s treaty before the reassembling of parliament. The newepaper attacking Great Britain's insistence on the widening of the Rudan irrigation projects, said it would require many years to culti vate the nearly 500,000 acres of land in the Sudan involved even if the necessary labor were available and It concludes the provision was merely Inserted In the British demands with ilhe Intention of dropping it later to Impress the Egyptian people. The Ahram says It understands the cabinet ministers are rounding out in dividual senators and deputies In sn effort to learn Hie situation of the new ministry with regard to the par liament. The cabinet, it adds, will doubtless recommend dissolution of parliament If a majority for the min istry does not appear to he forth coming. i'onsideratde anxiety Is be ing manifested |n cabinet circles In this res|>ect, it declare*.

New York, Nov. 27.—Publication of a translation of the Old Testa ment in modern English In which the garden of Eden Is called a park, Noah's ark Is termed a barge and the city of David is named Davidsburg, was announced today.

Announcement of the book's publication in this country was made by the George H. Doran com pany. It will be released Decem ber 1. Dr. Moffatt. who Is professor of church history in the United Free Church college, Glasgow, explains In his preface that it Is his be lief that the Bible cannot be prop erly understood by the present gen eration unless It appears to them in the language of their every day life, Just as It was read by the generation for whom It was writ ten. It Is his belief, he explains, that the Bible should be translat ed afresh for each succeeding gen eration. The hook Is declared to be the first translation of the Old Testament since the publication of the King James Bible In 1611. New Translation. The book, entitled "The Old Tes tament, a New Translation," Is the tesult of eight years' unaided labor on the part of the Scotch theologian, who declares that it is In no sense a revision of any previous English translation, but Is a translation of the ancient Hebrew texts. Through the use of modern English and the substitu tion of terms and geographical de scriptions familiar to the present generation for those used In other translations of the Old Testament.

Dr. Moffat's story of the creation follows: 'Then God, the eternal, molded man from the dust of the ground, breathing Into his nostrils the breath of life; this was how man became a living being.

Ia., Nov. 27.—Interest In the trial of Carl Hough, charged with the playing of Lillian McKenney last August, Is still intense. Despite the fact that the day was Thanksgiving, the annual occasion for an enormous dinner, more than 100 persons carried their turkey to the courtroom and ate dinner there. They took no chance on losing their seats. Two hundred were in the courtroom. Some of the listeners today had driven 80 miles to hear the testimony which the £t;ite hopes will convict the young man of strangling the girl with whom he eloped from Herrick, S. D , last summer. Hough continued to sit in the court room in a nonchalant manner. So cool is he, In fact, that it is hard to tell which is attorney and which is prisoner on the defense's side of the long table Richard Organ, defending the prisoner, often becomes excited during the cross examination, but Hough calmly listens to what is said and stares about the room. Hough Not Interested. The afternoon was devoted to the testimony of the physicians who ex amined Lillian McKenney’s body as it lay in the morgue. Kach doctor was called into the courtroom, sworn, questioned and dismissed. None of them was permitted to hear whati questions were asked the others, or what answers their colleagues made Because of the technicalities of th* testimony the prosecution ordered a man to stand up before the jury so that the various portions of the anal omy in question could be pointed out. Kven this failed to interest Hough to any great extent. He watched the witness #*r,4 tlie •‘object" while th* first physician was on the stand. Af ter that his eyes were more often on the ceiling and his attention very ap i parently wandering then centered on i any particular person. Mother Absent. The doctors to testify were: Dr. j J. W. Beauchamp. Dr. C. \V. McColm. Dr. L. F. Reed. Dr. .T F. Maloy, Dr. G. W. Rimel, Dr. .T. H. Gasson. Another contrast of personalities shown In the trial is that of the fam , ilies of the dead girl and the accused | man. Mrs. Klmer McKinney. the girl’s, mother, shows how deeply the traE edy has struck her. She was not in the courtroom today. Klmer McKin ney broke down and sobbed, openly, this morning whe i the clothes which his daughter wotfe at the time of her death, were offered as exhibits. Hough's father shows as little emo tion as the prisoner. He sits near the front of the courtroom each day and watches and listens. Little es capes him and yet the Interest he show* is that of a stoic. Houghs mother, estranged from her husband, displays more emotion yet not ns much as might l>e expected under the circumstances. She ap pears to be a woman who has learned to control her feelings tinder any and all circumstances. Few Dramatics. Throughout the day the stat#>; gradually spun the web of evidence with which they hope to gain a con rlctlon of the prisoner. The man who was called by the boys w ho found the body of the slain girl, the hoys who found the body, the individuals who saw the body oV aided in the rounding up of the clues which resulted In her indentiffcntlon and the arrest of Hough, were called to the witness stand to tell their stories. There were few dramatics. The state merely had a stor yto tell and. forced to tell it with th* words of many rather than with those of one person, took the simplest course. The prosecution has indicated Its Intention to attempt to prove that Lillian McKenney was killed follow ing n difference with Hough after ho had refused to marry her after thelt elopement.
