to mak thein, how much whiskey
makes, one drunk -and Kow many
drinks will make one drunk.
"How many drinks had; you IhadT'
asked Senator Kern Of Sturmer.
"That depends on how much yon
think makes a drink," replied the
tvltnese. '
"Well, about two Inches and a
quarter,", replied the senator.
"Was it part of your business to
go around your hotel buying drinks
for guests?"
"No. It was not a business," said
Sturmer, "Tt was a pleasure."
Zentnor took the stand and corro
horated Sturmer's testimony. He and
the investigators (had a length y con

loan amounting to ten million taels.
, Hope was expressed' tfiat .Americana

speaker said the United States was
the only country to which China look
ed for sympathetic assistance because
the United States was the. only, disin
terested friend of China's millions of
starving and oppressed people. ,
Arrangements practically hare been
completed for a meeting of delegates
representing thw Shanghai republicans

TWELVE DECISIONS
RALEIGH. N. C. Dec. Ths
constitutionality' of the act of the
general assembly (establishing , the
Stonewall Jackson Manual Training
and Industrial School is sustained
by the supreme court In the decis
ion of court In re Richard Watson
from Mecklenburg county in which

lease of. Richard Watson from the
institution where he tiad been com
mitted by the r0r6r of Charlotte
for vagrancy while his father, was
in Jail and declared to b,e an unfit
person to havw the care of the boy.
The question of the constltutlon-
sllty of ths training school act was
raised because It provides for im
prisonment as punishment for crime
in excess of that fixed by statutes
for vagrancy and for such length of
time as Is "crnei or unusual" and
under the court's decision the youth
was deprived of liberty without due
process of law and his ' detention un
der the statute amounts to Involun
tary servitude. After sustaining the
reformatory act the opinion holds;
It is advisable for notice to be
givien to the -pansmt before ten order
of detention is made, when this can
be done, and for the order to Include
a finding as to notice and of age of
child and that It is made after In
vestigation and because, it is for the
best interests of ths -child and of
community In which he Is convicted.

LITTLE MORE DELAY
CHICAGO. Deo. After eight
years devious travel in the ways of
grind juries and special pleas, the
cases of ten Chicago meat packers.
Indicted for alleged violation of the
criminal provisions of the Sherman
anti-trust law, reached trial today.
Indications were that the early stages
of the trial at least would be rapid
for the government's examination of
the first parlel of Jurymen win brief.
By agreement each side is entitled
to SO peremptory challenges and by
night ths government had exercised
ten of these. None of the veniremen
had been questioned by the defense.
Questions of Attorney Sheeban for
the government) Indicated that the
acceptability of a Juror chiefly on his
willingness to accept as part of the
government's function the regulation
of affairs of private business. All of
the defendante were In court Im
mediately after the case was called.
Personal pleas of not guilty were
entered and the examination of ve
niremen begtfn. Veniremen wh.o
pressed doubt of the propriety of the
government exercising control of bus
iness conduct peremptorily . were
challenged.
Attorneys here are of the opin
ion that the trial will proceed with
out any further attempts of coun
sel for the peckers to cause delay.
The only action now pending which
would bring a stop to the proceed
ings Is an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court for a ruling
on the constitutionality of ths -criminal
provisions of the lay;
This appeal was filed a week ago
together with a plea for a stay of
proceedings pending the decision.
Ths stay was refused In a verbal
decision. The packers. It was said,
was resting their hope that the high
court would declare the law con;
trary to the constitution and . bring
the 'trial to an abrupt end.
The twelve Jurymen who had been
passed by the government Were or
dered locked up tonight and the rest
of the venire ordered In court to
