IS READY FOR ASSASSINS EXPECT DELAYED DECISION 9 - TS Spring Lawyers Declare Measure Invalid Because It Permits Electors to Vote in One Part of the State and Xot Another. SPRINGFIELD. 111.. Feb. 13. (Special.) The Illinois Supreme Court today heard irgumenus in support of and against the constitutionality of the primary election law. The Issue was raised In the case axalnst Joseph Phillips, who was sent to the Cook County Jail for violating the primary law. and that of Russell D. Pea. cock against Treasurer John R. Thomp son, of Cook County. Phillips seeks to be released on a writ of habeas corpus and Peacock asks for a perpetual injunction restraining the Treasurer of Cook County from paying the Judges and clerks who served at the August primaries. Attorneys lor pom asert that the primary act is not con' stitutional. The main points advanced by attorneys for Phillips and Peacock were that the primary act Is unconstitutional because It adds to the constitutional qualifications of some electors and deprive constltu tionally qualified electors of the right to vote at the primary elections; that it per mits electors to vote In one part or the etate and denies such right to equally qualified electors In other parts of the state: that It deprives voters at primaries of their constitutional right to nominate candidates for the General Assembly, and that it delegates to committees the rights of voters to make their party organ! zation. Attorneys Loosen and Struckman took the grounds that the primary act is con Ptltutional and that even though some sections are repugnant to the cdnstitu tlon. the whole act could not fall on tins account. The question of whether the court will uphold the law or will knock It out on the ground of unconstitutionality became the burning topic at the State- house today. The toga fight was crowd ed to the rear. As the situation stands at present the wiseacres at the Statehousa Incline to the belief that the Supreme bench will not hand down Irs decision this month in the two cases attacking the act. Attorney. General Stead, and others who have ex amined the briefs and heard the argu ments delivered today, assert that the law rill be upheld by the Supreme tribunal Other lawyers and politicians take the opposite view of the case, and Inasmucn as the Supreme Justice never indicate their intentions until they file their de cision, it is a sheer guess as to what will happen to the law.

FURTHER ACTION LIKELY Missouri Courts Xot Satisfied With Action ' of Oil Company In Ouster Proceedings and Threaten New Trial. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo.. Feb. 15. Henry S. Priest, of St. Louis, and IT. Clay Pierce, chairman of the board of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, today filed In the Supreme Court of Missouri an acceptance of the terms Imposed upon the company by the recent ouster order of the court. The fine of $50,000 was paid. The ouster decree provided that the company must show to the court that It had severed all connection with the Standard Oil Company, and a. statement , t this effect may yet be required uy h- court. Judge Priest, however, said that he believed today's action covo:d tilt case so far as the Missouri corpora- on was concerned, and said he did not know of anything more that could be done. Payment of the fine was made by the tender of a certified check for $50,000. The acceptance is silent so far as show ing a reorganization independent of the Standard Oil Company is concerned, and there is no showing that the Isew Jersey corporation does not still own CO per cent of the Waters-Pierce stock. Accuse Bad Faith. On the grounds that the Waters-Pierce Oil Company has not complied with the ouster decree of the Supreme Court of the state in Its answer filed today, Attorney- General Major this afternoon will file with the court a suggestion that the ous- er be made effective against the concern. This course was agreed upon after confer ences between the Attorney-General, Gov ernor Hadley and former Assistant Attor- ey-General John Kennish. The action of the Attorney-General will be based on the fact that the company has not furnished satisfactory evidence that It has severed relations with the Standard Oil Company. The action of the Waters-Pierce Oil ouipany this morning does not com ply with the decree of the court except s to the fine," the Attorney-General said. "I shall ask the court to enforce he full penalty of its former decree nd show wherein the company Has failed to comply with the court's or- er. Governor Hadley said: ' "The company has only partly com plied with the court's order when it paid in the money." When does the Standard OH Company of Indiana come in now?" "It must wait until the court passes pon Its proposition. I should not be sur prised if the court would give us a field day for both companies and have it ail t once.

Speaking of the proposition made by the Standard Oil Company of Indiana to let the state have half control of the busi- css of a new company to be organized to do business In Missouri, Judge Priest said: We are not parties to It. We prom- sed not to go into any combination of any kind whatever. We have nothing to do with these propositions, but. of course, they would mean more if made by the Standard Oil Company of New York, which owns all the stock of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana and most of the stock of the Waters-Pierce Company."

Accused of Offering to Desert Graft Prosecution, He Warns Wit ness Juror Exposed as Having Prejudice. i SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 15. Patrick Calhoun's trial upon an Indictment for bribary, now entering upon Its fifth week, has produced no session approach ing In interest the proceedings today, when the panel of 12 Jurors, completed after days of wearisome effort, was bro ken by the discharge of one Juror and when Assistant District Attorney Fran cis J. Heney, resenting a threat from a witness on the stand, declared that he had fixed a line over which no living man could In future step. Two alleged cases of jury tampering were made pub lic during the afternoon, and while there was no substantiation In either instance before adjournment. It Is likely that the proceedings tomorrow will be devoted to examination of witnesses summoned in connection with these and other affairs of the same character. Leake Threatens Heney. Sam Leake, a former newspaper man ager and politician, who was summoned to the stand because of an allegation that he had endeavored to purchase an Interest In the haberdashery business con ducted by a brother of one of the Jurors, precipitated the most sensational Incident of the day. Mr. Leake had warned Mr. Heney that he could make cartain revela tions concerning the prosecutor's past. Mr. Leake, who had been questioned as to his visits to a saloon, said: . "I think it very improper for you to refer to those things, Mr. Heney. I could tell of places I saw you." "I want you to stop that right now," Interrupted Mr. Heney. "I don't propose that you shall make any more threats. You are there to answer questions." "There Is one conversation you don't dare to refer to," retorted the witness. "There was once when you went up the back way Into the Call office and tried to go back on Phelan and Spreckels." Heney's Dramatic Warning. "That's all there will ba of that," said Mr. Heney at this Juncture. "I took this sort of thing from Henry Ach for months until it led to an attempt at assassina tion, and after this I want it understood that I won't tate it from any man living. If i am going to be shot again I'll be shot in front, not from behind, nor from the side." Lswis F. Byington, of the defense. arose, saying: ' v e wish to except .to the remarks of the District Attorney, and we request that the court instruct the jury to take no notice of these passages. We balieve that the District Attorney should recog nize the limits of his duty In examination of a witness." 'It was at this point that Mr. Heney, arising to Ills feet with difficulty, pitched his voice so that it penetrated beyond the confines of the courtrooms, and said: "This District Attorney is doing his duty as such, but before I am a District Attorney I am an American citizen, and in that capacity I want to say that right here and now I draw the line over which no living man may step. For months I took all the villiflcation that could be heaped on me because I dared to do my duty, which someone had to do, but I am through with It now, and I want this thorougnly understood." Juror Favored Conviction. It was shortly after this that the day's session of court ended, while the prose cution was attempting to present addi tional testimony regarding Walter J. f;ock as a juror, and after a challenge for cause had been Interposed as a basis for the supplementary proceedings. Prior to tills Judge w. P. Lawlor had allowed a challenge by ths defense directed against Frederick G. vvulzen, the eleventh Juror accepted, but only after two witnesses had been examined at considerable length. It was shown that previous expressions of opinion by Sar. Wulzen had been re ported to the attorneys for the United Railroads through William R. Bacon, an employe of a furniture factory, and Abe Hunter, who had been promised emplov- ment by the United .Railroads. Both Mr. Bacon and Mr. Hunter wjre questioned at considerable length, and they agreed In the main that Mr. Wulzen had given ex pression to sentiments favoring the con viction of Calhoun. Judge Lawlor, after rebuking the defense for its failure to discover the talesmen's state of mind, al lowed the challenge, and the first va cancy in the jury box was made.
