promise in ,the senate on logislation
for. further co-ordination and reor
ganization of the government's war
making agencies appeared in sight to
night as a result of negotiations be
tween democratic and republican lead
ers for revision of the Overman bill,
which would give President 'Wilson
greater freedom of action.
Amendments virtually agreed upOn
promise- largely . tq harmonize differ
ences, allr. republican opposition tand
to obtain supp6rtiin ,the senate frpm
all sides except the group of senators
unalterably .insisting upon the mili
tary committee's bills for a war cab
inet and munitions director.
President Wilson was .saur to have
nonobjection to the changes proposed
and tomorrow it is expected, that the
senate judiciary subcommittee, head
ed by Senator Overman, will redraft
the bilk , .
As it ; is proposed to amend the
measure the president would not be
given any new substantive authority
and ; the provisions in . the . Over
man bill which republicans have re
garded as conferring new and too
broad powers upon the president are
to be eliminated. The amendments,
however, would retain the principal
provisions authorizing. the president
to transfer departments, bureaus,
commissions and other agencies 4pd
their personnel as he might deem, nec
essary t effect greater co-ordination
and efficiency in prosecuting the -var.

It is propbsed to strike,' but a
clause giving the president jpofcer ''to

Senator Overman said tonight that
as the bill is becoming better under

fidently predicted '.that with ; the
changes proposed the bill will be re
ported out probably next week and
obtainva substantial majority in the
senate.. : - - ; ....
- When the measure was first sent to

as 'a substitute for the waf cabinet and

, ? 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.
Howell explained the necessity -of
his aide, being required to go to. the
sources it-did for. evidence." - He"'dis
abused the minds of , the jurymen that
this suit is tine , in which Dennison
or others are fighting Lynch, but that
it is a- case of . the sheriff against
Lynch.- .. . ' ' ,.
"Lynch tried to get a scissors hold
on Clark's ...manhood, ibut .failed,"
shouted Howejl ,tQ the jury. , - , ,
. "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. ' v
He asked the jurors 'whether they
would rafher.pjse their daughters and
sisters-undcr the Mdshane; or under
the; adminis:tration oHMike Clark,
"who siid he' would close the, joints
and has .kept his word,' notwithstand
ing the blandishments of Lynch."' '
; The gist of Attorney Howell's ar
gument follows: " , " ;
t . States'HisjAttitude..' , f-
"Our attitude as attorney? for Clark
in this-case is that a lawyer who will
defend any 'member, of that" gang is
as jcorrupt as they, are-if, he does it
knowingly! We - are not e'ef ending
Dennison,, Nesselhous or the under
world. The same defense would have
freed. the New. York gunmen as the
defense foreshadowed and o.utlinedjh
this case. , ..
"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. That is a broad statement to
make, but if" is true. One of them
ceased to exist the, night vhenMike
Clark took office" and has remained
closed and will remain closed so long
as Clark is sheriff.,' - ,
"Schesehey's. run. 'by Tohn.: Lynch,
defied the law. Scheschey s was closed
by Mike Clark. Would Dennison, Nes
selhous or Tylee have done jt?-No.
Would Lyncb" have, doae it? No.; ,

certain sources for the truth. ; '

tnam. The third dav of the trial of
i Louis W. Chobar for the murder of
Albert Blender at his home north
west of Benedict, tin the night of No
vember -28, 1917, adjourned this eve
ning till tomorrow, with Chobar' on
the witness stand, fighting for his-rife.
Chobar js the slar witness so far
in' the trial and although he appeared
somewhat nervous over the strain, his
answers to most of ,the questions put
to him by the attorney were1 clear,
distinct and direct 1 : ' ,
Asie from Chobar's own evidence,
the most important feature 6f the trial
was the introduction- as Evidence of
the 'note Chobar left at theBndcr
home the night of the murder. While
on the stand he admitted the writing
of the note about 30 minutes after he
had killed Blender. . , ; -
. What Note Said. :
The note has been in possession of
Sheriff Miller since the day after the
murder and i as follows: ;
"Go to George' Hubble at Benedict
and lje can. tell, the story, of this, the
caijse, but otherwways "he had nothing
to do with it. I, caught them-in the
act and my temper 'got away from
me." , "L. CHOBAR."
"George told'mc to take luy wife
and leave." I wanted" to. find out my
self about , this dirty hound and get
him myself. I am bill for the east, as
east as Xcin&o where nobody knows
me or about this" trouble. v
"I done this November 28. They
thought I was 'in .town, but' I was
watching them and found them in bed
together and that was enough." . ?i
i The later part of the note was not
signed-.' vt:A ; !
