NO OUTLIKE MADE BY THE STATE Rilrirnre Far Iatradaced Coadaed to Offer of Record la Evidence ' find Their Identification for that Parnoee. In his upfiunr statement to the Jury yes terday iinrnlti Charles M. Harl. counsel for H. V. Ilattcy, against whom proceedings to remove him from the office of clerk of the distrlrl iourt were brought. Indicated that th fenee would be that the court and other recorda which Mr. Batter la al leged to have erased and altered were open to the public, Including the employee of the aeveTal abstract companies at all times; that entries In auoh recorda were made by r the r peraons than Mr. Battey; that If t.-.pre were error thay were mistakes which were liable t be made in the transection nt to large a volume of business aa waa done In the office of the clerk of the court, and, further, that It would not be sufficient for the state to show errors In the recorda, but that befora Mr. Battey could bo found guilty as charged It must be shown that the erasures and alterations were with Intent of corruption. The proceeding sgalnat Mr. Battey, At torney Harl characterised as an unusual one. He aald that In the past clerks of the court had been known to make supple mental reports, turning over additional money, before reaching a satisfactory set tlement with the county, all of whk-h had been allowed to pass without any actions In court. In Mr. Battey's case, however, he said, the supervisors had not been satisfied with ths reports of the men who hsd checked this office the same as they had checked the other offlcee In the county court house, but had brought In a man from the outside, whose report had been given to tha Board of Supervisors without Mr. Battey's being afforded any oppor tunity for explanation.' The matter, he said, had been turned over to the county attorney before Mr. Battey had been fur nished with a copy of the report and he hsd been auspended from office without bi'lng given a hearing or a chance to make any explanation, although he had demanded that such an opportunity be afforded him before such summary action would be taken. . Referring to the report of the accountant who was brought from Des Moines by the supervisors to check up Mr. Battey's ac. founts, Mr. Ilsrl said the report had not even been verified by an oath. In closing Mr. Her! said that there might be mis takes In the transaction of so large a volume of business as was done In the clerk's office, hut Mr. Battey stood ready, as he hsd always done, to make good and ira'ats up any shortage that might be shown to exist In Ms accounts with the county. This, however, Mr. Marl asserted, had not suited the purpose of the Hoard of Super, visors, which hsd declined to accept ony such set llemirnt. Matemeat for State. County Attorney Hess was brief In his opening statement to the Jury. He did hot go Into detail as 14 what he expected the evidence, to show, but advised the Jurors that he would expect them to Judge tin- guilt or Innocence of the defendant only from tl.e evidence aa produced In court, and not with reference to any statements of occurrences or records of proceedings in Hie newspapers. He said he expected to show thst certain money which had Vcn paid Into the office of the clerk had not been accounted for and that altera tions and erasures had been made In tha records of the office of the clerk during the Incumbency of the defendsnt. At the close of the opening statements H. J. Chambers, the present acting clerk of the district court, was placed on the stand to Identify the records and books of the office which will flfrnre In the trial. The examination of Mr. Chambers was mainly as to the Identification of the handwriting and signature of, Mr. Battey. Mr. Chambers was on the stand until about 6 o'clock, when County Auditor Cheyne was called to Identify the re ports of fees collected, filed by Mr. Bat tey with the Board of Supervisors.

Sparrows and Elephants By HERBERT KAUFMAN. You can't get everybody's money into a specialty shop any more than you could successfully hunt sparrows and elephants with the same gun. The energy it takes to topple over the animal costs too much to waste on the bird, and bird shot would only prove irritating to the pachyderm. You can't appeal to all sorts of people with the same store without misusing your energy. If you spend all j our adTertising appropriation trying to sell merchandise that will appeal to the cheapest trade you will simplgr drive away the other customer. You can't organize your business to carry on the. two ex tremes of merchandising. Even if your buyer can purchase a near-skin muff just as ably as he can select a Rusian sable cloak, remember that he draws his money for knowing how to choose sables. Your basis of expense is not regulated by the lowest priced goods you sell, but by what it costs you to make your store attractive enough in its fittings and stock to draw the choicest trade. Don't try to be the Colossus of Rhodes straddling both sides of the price stream, (let on to one bank or the other. Run your store for the saver or the sender, but don't mis vour game or you'll miss in your aim. (Copyright. 108. by Tribune Company, Chicago ) .
