Graham, of North Carolina, as weaknesses in the Hoover farm relief plan. “I am fully aware of the fact tin! marketing constitutes one of the vital phases of agriculture,” said Commissioner Graham. "But It la not all, as Mr. Hoover and Secretary Hyde seem to think. There are oth er vital problems confronting the farmer which ‘farm relief ought to aeek to remedy. "Further, It will be noted that, four Of the appointees announced are grouped In Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, and Illinois whose agri cultural Interests do not nocessariiy represent those in oilier sections which have been omitted. In Ken tucky, for example, they raise bur ley tobacco by the hundreds of mil lion of pounds. However, It Is not the kind of tobacco raised In this section, and the tobacco growers problems In that state are not necessarily the problem.1 ol the to bacco growers of other states. Take cotton—Oklahoma Is a cotton stale, to be sure, but from the Informa tion I gather the cotton problems of that state are not coincident with those of this section ol the South. “I am for farm relief; but I. am for balanced farm relief, and I am for diversification of appointments. There are other sections to be con sidered besides the central west and the valley states.” You will never find the .splinters when climbing the ladder, but they are always there when you are sliding down.

FOUR King's Counsel Give Eight Reasons For New Trial; i Judge llenry Answers These Light Itea.Mjns Before Denying New Trial. In arguing for a new trial in the Rate King ease wherein lie was convicted of murder on Tuesday evening and sentenced to die in the electric chair Sept, 20, the counsel for King set fourth eight reasons why he should have a new trial: 1— That the verdict of the jury is contrary to the evidence. 2— That there was insufficient evi dence to warrant the verdict of the jury. 3— That ids honor should have directed a verdict ot “not guilty." 4— In reading the request to charge submitted by defendant’s counsel to the jury in such an inaudible tone o( voice that the defendant could not hear same, de fendant’s counsel could not hear same, and the jury could not hear same clearly. 5— In reading the request to charge ns submitted by this de fendant's counsel to the jury in such an inaudible tome of voice and in delivering his charge to the Jury along other lines in suen strenuous tones as to impress the jury. With the idea that there was little or no merit in the request to charge submitted by the defendant’s counsel. 6— Failure of the presiding judge to instruct the jury that the fail ure of the defendant to take the witness stand in his own behalf, could not be construed against him. 7— In permitting a r.ostue audi ence to crowd in and around and show their hostility to this defend ant by reason of their position be fore and demeanor In front of the jury as shown by the defendant's affidavit. 8- In permitting counsel for the state to comment in their argu ments to the Jury upon the fact that the defendant. Rafe F. King, failed to testify In the case; the portions of the arguments of vari ous counsel referred to are shown In King's affidavit, Jury Heard Charge. In reply to the statement of the gorunds for a new trial. Judge Henry said that he was confident that the jury heard the charge. "I was not instructing the de fendant; I was instructing the jury,” he asserted. He further declared that he saw no effort to influence the jury and regarded the conduct and behavior of the audience as remarkable. He said that he has never seen such a patience as was exercised by the jury and such excellent demeanor as shown by the audience. "I think this defendant has had a fair and impartial trial. I regard the verdict as a just and true ver dict,” declared Judge Henry, as he concluded his remarks, and ordered the defendant be placed in the dock. The lawyers of King, who were present at the hearing of the mo tion for a new trial, requested early WE SERVE NOTICE that the seal of public ap proval might be placed upon giving Fido a bath in the Mashing machine but it wouldn’t probably recom mend running him through the clothes wringer.

The .slate did not make an argu ment, against the motion, as no formal arguments were advanced ay the. defense, which contented it self with the reading of the grounds find the affidavit from King. King set forth in his affidavit that during the presentation of part of the state’s evidence that Sheriff Howze stood between him and the witness, and at other times Solicitor Hines, as well as others obstructed his view, and interfered with his hearing. He also asserted that the judge's ehaiRe was delivered in such a low. inaudible voire that he could not hear and expressed the belief that the Jury did not hear that part of the charge, which the defense had requested. The affidavit, further set forth, “that His Honor refused to consider this defendant's request to charge except as to one request and did not read this defendant's request to charge until urged to do so by defendant's counsel, although same had been properly submitted in writ ing and then read the same as herein aforesaid in such a low voice that this defendant was able to hear but a few words of the xrtiH rf»nnpst Crowds Attacked. He also declared In his affidavit that crowds, apparently hostile to him, were permitted to push into the bar and before the jury, and that this fact was plainly visible to the jury. Judge Henry, in making reply, said that he had attempted to make himself understood and that when it was suggested by defense counsel that the jury might not be nearing, he went and stood within six feet of the jury, and reread that portion which the law yers said the jury might not have heard. No Influence. He also declared that he had not seen an effort to influence the jury and that the crowd was remarkably well behaved. In replying to the allegation that attorneys for the state had been permitted to refer to the fact that King had not taken the stand and that he had been called a murderer in counsel's argument. Judge Henry said that he had not heard any such reference and recalled that he had instructed the Jury to dis regard the statements of lawyers re ferring to the defendant as a mur derer.
