In the Finance committee meeting
there was ah. informal discussion over
the length of time the bill will re

him, declaring, that the Republicans
nad no intention of purposely prolong

As it goes to the Senate, the bill is
a much lower-rate bill than the

tie feeling has been stirred by the
trial and conviction of He v. R. L. Da
vis, superintendent of'.the Antia.
loon League, on the "charge of using
a . whiskey . bottle as a weapon in a
ngnt nere some days ago.
It is expected . that the court will
set aside the, verdict of guilty. A new
trial may result - There is a report
that one of the attornevs for th de-
lense nas received a letter . from an
unnamed person who says he. saw the
fight and that Mr Davis did not strike
Straughan, who - at the time was en
gaged in a fight with Detective Green.
A notable feature of the trial was
the criticisms of Mr. Davis by Solici
tor H. ENorris. -for the Drosecution.
He characterized Mr. Davis as a min
ster who would forsake his hieh and
noble, calling and pursue duties dero
gatory to the ministerial office.
"Wfe have officers of the law" he
declared, ."empowered to enforce -the
prohibition law and it is uncalled for
that Rev. Mr. Davis should go out in
to the dark alleys for blind tieers and
resort to Questionable detective
work." ...... -
Mr. Norris also insisted that the
minister could not descend from his
high - avocation . of the ministry to
work such as he was doiner. when he
incurred the charges on which he was
tried.-and. then seek to draw his min
isterial, robes about him as a protec
tion from the law, if he had violated
