Reports today from all of New Mexico's

give Senator Holm O. Bursum, Repub
lican, an indicated majority of 694S
votes over his Democrat opponent, Rich
ard H. Hanna, In Tuesday's special
senatorial election. A. A. Sena, inde
I pendent candidate, polled a light .vote.
Republican leaders were claiming the
victory as a vote of confidence In the
Harding administration, which was
made the leading issue in a vigorous
campaign that preceded the election.'
The vote throughout the state was
light and resulted In a reduction of the
normal Democratic majorities In the
eastern and southern counties. Several
counties that ordinarily return Demo
cratic majorities, but which leaned to
ward Harding last November, duplicated
the Republican vote in the same ratio
yesterday.
Bursum is serving in the senate on

Joker' Found in
Dry Commissioner's
Killing About' Beer
Washington. Sent 2L Devotees of
home brew took heart today following
the discovery of an alleged "joker" in
tne ruling issued yesterday by Prohibi
tion commissioner Haynes that manu
facture or intoxicating liquor in the
home is illegal.
When the ruling was made public
Senator Shortridge of California investi
gated. As a result it was stated at his
office today that the ruling does not
prohibit home brew.
The alleged "joker" lies in the fact
that Commissioner Haynes places the
ban on home brew manufacture of in
toxicating liquor without ruling what
constitutes intoxicating liquor. The rul
ing did not specify that home brew with
more than half of one per cent kick
was Illegal, but that home brew must
be intoxicating in fact before it is Illegal.
At senator snortxidge's office It was
also stated that assurance had been re
ceived at the prohibition commissioner's
office that the federal enforcement de
partment would adhere to the policy of
not invading- homes unless it has cause
to believe that intoxicating wine or beer
is being made for sale or that- liquor
was being distilled.

.been committed either - in an effort to
revive her, or simply as a prank, it was
stated. Arbuckle offered no explanation,
Semnacher said, of what his purpose
was in relating what he -did. The act
itself, however, could have caused the

Seattle.
. Judge Ronald,-keeping a tally sheet
found that of Si 'persons examlqed for

against Ufa defendant These were ex
cused.
"This," said the Judge, sts not a heavy
showing of 'prejudice -and Insufficient

part of ttr state tor trstf
The Judge added that he would, how-
ever, continue his tally until lie was con
inced whether the) degree of prejudice
was too great a hazard for the defense,
and if so, would have the case tried
elsewhere. ' ,

dismiss five from the Jury box and the

began was anything but that of an in
sane man. He dropped his shamming
and not only displayed lively interest In
