As it ; is proposed to amend the measure the president would not be given any new substantive authority and ; the provisions in . the .

The Lynch-Clark ouster suit' in difctric court will go the ; jury, this afternoon. Attorney Howell, for Sheriff Clark, yesterday afternoon made the first closing argument to the jury for the plaintiff. He closed his argument at 5 o'clock. CLARK MADE CHARGE. ! O, In his summary of the case, Attor ney Howell emphasized the point that under the regime of Mike Clark as sheriff, such places as the Lakeside nd Riverside .have been closed, and the evidence was shown that Lynch "should not be allowed to continue (o wear the robes of public office and that his official life has discredited him."- . - vv : ' SOUGHT SCISSOR HOLD.

"The defense --would have you men of the juryv believe that rwe are try ing to disturb' the peaceof. the end of a perfect day for Johnny," was another remark? by the attorney.

"The. devil established the River side and he established the. Lakeside through 'Johnny' Lynch . Those joints could not have existed in this community but for corruption in of fice.
