"WASHINGTON. Nov. t-The critical
manner In which the supreme court of
the United States today listened to argu
ment that the Initiative and referendum
method of legislation in this country Is
Unconstitutional brought encouragement
to the friend of the By item. Oral argu
ments on both aides of the question were
completed before the court adjourned for
the day.
E. a nilsbury of San Francisco, and
t?. ' n. Dunway of Fortland, Ore., were
heard In opposition to the method In two
Oregon canes. When Mr. Plllsbury re
marked that there could not, with due
regard for the federal constitution, be
two legislative powers In a state, namely,
the legislature and the people, Justice
(Burton Interrupted him:
"What is a state constitution but an
Organized act of legislation by the peo
ple?" inquired the justice.
"That Is expressly what I understand
It to be," responded Mr. Plllsbury.
"Then there Is legislative power In the
teople."
"To make a constitution: yes."
Mr. Plllsbury suggested that the people
tnlght put Into their state constitution
anything not In conflict with the restric
tions of the federal constitution.
White Asks for Proof.
"What are the restrictions which you
Claim are violated In this particular
tase?" Inquired Chief Justice White.
"The provision for a legislature."
The chief Justice askd him to read It.
"I cannot read it; It Is Implied In a
Uozen places," said the attorney. "And,
also, the constitution has been construed
by this court to Imply that there must
be a leglslatpe.''
The chief justice .asked, for the .cases
In which the point had been In Issue, but
the attorney did tot give them. .
It was further argued that taxes Im
posed under the-Initiative method-were
rot by "due process of law" and violated
tha. mini nrntMtton nf the lawn' no
long as some persons were taxed under
initiative laws and others under legis
lative enactments.
Attorney General Crawford of Oregon
declared that the question of whether the
method violated the guaranty of the
United States In the federal constitution
of a "republican form of government to
very state" was a political question for
congress to decide and not a Judicial one
for the courts to pass upon. He Inquired
how the court would enforce its decision
if congress and Oregon were opposed to It
Frank 8. Grant and William C. Hen
bow of Portland, Ore., spoke in the In
terest of "home rule."
States Alone Interested.
George Fred Williams of Boston argued
that only a party to the "guaranty" to
States could ask the United States to
make good its promise that every state
Should have a republican form of gov
ernment A corporation, he said, could
not do so, because the guaranty was to
the states.
"I bave heard no state objecting to the
Oregon form of government," said Mr.
William.
Chief Justice White suggested that the
Word "form" in the constitution lent sup
port to Mr. Williams' Interpretation of
the word "guaranty." .
Jackson H. Ralston of this city con
tended that the opponents of the method
were wrong In arguing that the word
"republican" was used In the constitu
tion as a synonym for. "representative."
He argued It was used in contract to
monarchical." 1 . .....
Justice Holmes suggested this' interpre
tation would be In conformity with a rule
Of logic.

Deer Hunters Kill
1 Forty-Seven Men So,
Far This Season
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8-The so-called
"list of Immortals" of the United States
biological survey a roster kept by that
bureau of all hunting fatalities In this
country already this year has had added
to It lorty-scven names. Fro mthls In
formation the bureau hopes after a few
years to be able to deduce general princi
ples which will be of value In framing
"life saving" federal and state game
laws.
"One fact which we have learned during
the three years we have kept this ree
ord," said rr. T. P. rainier, chief of the
bureau today, "Is that there are practic
ally no deer hunting accidents in states
which prohibit the shooting of does. This
Is because In those states the hunter
hesitates a moment before firing to de
termine whether the animal Is a doe or
buck. In case the animal happens to be
of the two-legged variety that brief pause
before pulling the trigger is enough to
save human life. The New Jersey shoot
ing case was an exception to that rule."
More than ISO people were killed last
year In hunting accidents. This was con
siderably larger than the number In 1909.
which in turn was 60 per cent In excess
of the IMS fatalities.
"Of the forty-seven killed So i'ar this
year," said Dr. Palmer, "the I argent num
ber was reported from Michigan, with fif
teen deaths; New York coming second
with nine, Washington and New Jersey
being tied for third place, with three fa
talities each."
Kansas City Man
Had Never Heard
of the Hyde Case
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 8.-Prospects
for obtaining a Jury to try the Dr. B.
Clarke Hyde murder case before the end
of next week appear poor. The trial cen
tered upon Its eleventh day today with
only twenty of the forty-seven temporary
Jurymen who must be obtained In the box.
The work of qualifying men Is moving
slower now than it has at any stage of
the proceedings, only one talesman being
obtained yesterday.
James Marsh of Kansas City and S. S.
Embrey of Grain Valley, Mo., were ao
cepted as talesmen today.
Although he had lived In this city seven
years Marsh said he had never heard of
the Hyde case until last night when he
was summoned as a venireman. After he
received the subpoena he said he read
something about the case to learn "what
It was all about." Marsh was accepted
by both sides at once.
A temporary Juryman approached Judge
Porterfleld today and confessed that h
had served a prison , term for man
slaughter twenty-two years ago. The
statutes provide that no one who has
been convicted of a' felony can serve as
a Juryman. This -was made plain to the
talesman at the time of his examination,
but ha was too proud to make the con
fession in the crowded court room. The
matter has since weighed heavily on his
conscience and he finally decided to con
fess to the court In private.
The Juror doubtless will be excused.
Eleventh Talesman
Accepted for Cause
in McNamara Case
LOS ANGELES. Cal., Nov. i. With
one more Juror accepted as to cause by
both sides soon after court opened today
in the McNamara trial, prospects for a
full Jury box before the close of court
appeared excellent. Byron Lick, a Pasa
dena mill owner, was the eleventh man
chosen.
H. V. Blenklron, ' a real estate dealer.
the only other talesman In the jury box
not yet accepted, was then examined.
Venireman W. H. Andrews remained
outside the box, and It was expected that
if neither Andrews nor Blenklron was ac
cepted, court proceedings might be sus
pended until more talesmen could be se
cured. Blenklron was accepted by the
defense after less thdn five minutes' ex
amination by Attorney Clarence S. Dar-
row, chief of counsel for the defense.
Both sides came into court prepared to
exercise peremptory challenges against
Jurors accepted as to cause whom they
believe would not make fair Juorors.
It was expected that not more than
three or tour jurors at the outside would
be lcft'at the conclusion of this process.
Two talesmen, George McKee and F.
D. Green, were HI and received medical
treatment last night, but were reported
recovered today.
Denver Wants Both
National Conventions
' DENVER, Colo., Nov. J. A concerted
movement on the part of the Denver
citizens to raise funds for. the purpose
of securing both the republican and demo
cratic national conventions for this city
started today in definite form. A. L.
Mohler of Omaha, president of the Union
Pacific, said he would head a contribu
tion list with V2.S00 and others have ex
pressed willingness to contribute toward
the fund necessary to send delegations
to can upon the republican and demo
cratic national committees. Announce
ment of the proposal of President Mohlur
was made to the Denver Convention
league today by Gerrlt Fort, general pas
senger traffic manager of the Union Pa
cific here.
Woman Burned by
Explosion of Gas
CASPER, Wyo., Nov. J.-Speclal.)-Mrs.
M. Taylor, cook at one of the main camps
of the Franco-American Oil company,
was seriously burned yesterday by ths
explosion of natural gas that leaked from
the pipes supplying the kitchen stove.
The woman, by rare presence of mind,
faved herself by rushing outside and
throwing an old quilt over her head,
smothering the flames that were consum
ing her hair and clothing.. The roof of
the cook house was blown off. but quick
work saved the building from destruc
tion. Mrs. Taylor will recover, but will
be scarred.

SHANGHAI, Nov. S.-The arsenal and
the native city of Shanghai were taken
over by the revolutionists late this after
noon. No reslstence was offered by the
authorities or such that remain Joyal.
It is expected that Wu Bung, at the
mouth of the VVu-Sung, and ten miles
north of Shanghai, and the up-river forts
will fall tonight. It Is confidently be
lieved that Nanking and Chlng Kiang
will be captured by the rebels tomorrow.
some of the foreign warships landed
marines In this city before the rebels
took possession. Foreign volunteors were
called out and have taken every precau
tion to protect the concessions. It is
reported that the rebels at Kleuh-King
have seized the British tug boat samp-
son.
Revolutionary Flay liaised.
It became evident early la mo afternoon
that the rebels proposed to assume con
trol of affairs therein In a short time, al
though It was not thought they would
ocoupy the arsenal before night. As the
day progressed the revolutionary flag was
hoisted over all the buildings in the vicin
ity of the arsenal, and thousands wearing
on their arms the white band. Insignia ot
the constitutionalists, gathered in the
street.
The police and native soldiers made no
attempt to Interfere, fraternizing with
the insurgents.
The Toatal realizing the inevitable
caused notices to be posted stating that
the native city might be taken over by
the revolutionists tonight and expressed
the hops that -the publlo would not bs
thrown into a panlo and that the shops
selling food should not be closed except
at the usual hour. ,
At 6:30 o'clock All telephone and tele
graph communication with the arsenal
was cut off. The rebel throng grew to
greater proportions and in the natural
excitement a number of shots were fired
by the government forces In the direction
of the mob, but these were without ef
fect and It was plain the Chinese soldiers,
the police and the native volunteers were
all In sympathy with the revolutionists.
At this point the Taotai fled and the
arsenal and native city quietly capitulated.
The revolutionary leaders here have
telegraphed General LI Yuen Heng, the
head of the rebel movement, advising
him to cease hostilities pending develop
ments in Peking. Their message Is being
forwarded to General LI from Wu-Hu by
a special dispatch boat
Complaints reached this city today that
the rebels holding the forts below Klu

at steamers passing that city In the
night time. The latest advices from

THE CHECKBOOK MAN
The Bee is in receipt of two letters written for Dan V. Stephens,
democratic nominee for congress in the Third district.
One carries a signature of P. E. McKillip and the other of Ed Latta.
Although the former resides in Humphrey. JNeh., and the latter in
Tenamah, both letters bear Omaha postmarks and both are written
on the same paper and by the same typewriter.
The letter ot latta asserts tnat tne sums spent by Stephens in the
Latta campaigns are not as large as reported now much less is not
stated.
ine letter which McKillip has been induced to sign is intended to
be insulting, but in suouui,e oenies uui tne ciiec&ea out

The spendthritt outlay of iacKUlip money wmcn bankrupted him,
is notorious and the recent disclosures of the huge sums devoted to
politics became publio through the Norfolk News.
The lavish expenditure of money by the check book man in his
present quest of a seat in congress for himself is admitted by the dem
ocratic World-Herald, whose retort is that he is spending only his
own money and money supplied by the democratio national congres

FRANCE WINS JN MOROCCO
Germany Agrees to Recognize
French Protectorate.
GETS COMPENSATION IN CONGO
Terras of Treaty Prodare Dlnsntls
factlon at Berlin and Coun
cilor of th.A Colonlea
Reala-na.
PARIS, Nov. 3. The contents of the
Franco-German accord, officially given
out today, show that Germany recognises
the right of France to establish a pro
tectorate In Morocco and both nations
engage to obtain the adhesion to this ac
cord of the other signatories to the
Algeclras agreement.
France, as compensation for German
recognition of Its protectorate In Mo
rocco, cedes to Germany about 250,000
square kilometers In northern Frenah
Congo, touching the German Kameruna.
The territory ceded Is Inhabited by
about 1,000,000 negroes and has a com'
merce Valued at S2,4OO,O0O annually. ,
In reference to Morocco, Franco agrees
to safeguard the economic quality and
commercial liberty for which provision Is
made In existing treaties. The only refer
ence to commercial rights In the ceded
territory is the mutual agreement to take
over the rights and obligations In con
nection with the companies holding con
cessions there.
Dissatisfaction In Germany.
BERLIN, Nov. S. Revelations of dis
sensions In the government on the evo of
the Morocco debate In the Reichstag has
greatly weakened the positions of Chan
cellor von Bethman-IIolwcg and the
foreign secretary, llerr von Klderlln
Waechter. The secretary of state for the
colonies, Dr. Llndequlst, today renewed
his request that his resignation tendered
last summer be accepted. The councilor
of the colonial of floe, Herr von Danckel
maun, also resigned today.
COLOGNE, Germany, Nov. 3. A dls
patch to the Cologne Gasette from Berlin
says that the resignation of the councilor
of the colonial office, Herr von Danckel
mann, accompanying the "Indiscretions"
of the press, discloses most unjustifiable
conditions. The "Indiscretions" axsert
yiat the colonial office Is not willing to
accept responsibility for the treaty and
apparently the dispatch says this is
correct.

So-Called Fourteen Clnb of
Hopkins Democrats
Contradicts Myers,
CHICAGO, Nov. 8,-Lee CNall Browne
ot Ottawa, HI., former minority leader
of the Illinois legislature, admitted today
before the committee om United States
senators Investigating the Lorlmer elec
tion that the expense of his defense In
his bribery trials was born by friends.
"This has been a hleh priced matter
from the start and It has been long," said
Browne, "and personally I could not
have afforded to pay my lawyers and
take care of other expenses Incident!!
to the various trials."
"Who were these friends, personal or
political!" asked Senator Fletchet.
"Roth personal and political," replied
Browne. '
"Do you remember ths amount of ths
largest contribution to your defense
fund?" asked Senator Kern.
"No I can't recall that." replied
Browne.
Browne said flhurtleff's election as
speaker had been considered a matter of
course because of sectionalism among the
republicans. Ha admitted having heard
rumors of a so-cslled fourteen club of
Hopkins democrats.
Sullivan Illoeked Kflorls.
The witness said that Roger Hulllvan
had blocked his efforts for democratic
harmony In the legislature. He denied
that he knew anything of the action ot
Congressman Copley of Aurora, who tele
phoned Sullivan to go to Springfield and
head off a movement ot democrats to
support Hopkins.
Attorney Marble: "Did you ever tell
Hugh Mitchell, manager of one of Col
onel Copley's gas plants, that you ex
pected Hopkins to be elected?"
"I have a hasy recollection of talking
politics with Mitchell and I may have aaid
that I hopud Hopkins would be elected
as a means of breaking the deadlock. But
I did not toil anyone that I expected
Hopkins to be elected."
Browne said Shurtleff had asked him
what he thought of Lorlmer and how
many democrats would vote for Lorlmer.
"I asked Shurtleff why he did not run
himself," said Browne. "He said he
didn't believe he could get the votes, and
I said I agreed with hint."
Browne said he advised former Repre
sentative George W. Meyers of Paris not
to vote for . Lorlmer. Meyers testified
yesterday that Browne urged him to vote
for Lorlmer.
Browne denied advising with I.en Small
of Kankakee regarding the matter.
