POLITICS HOLD

Securing Jury Due to

NOIILEHVILI.E. lnd., Oct. IS.
(United News! Political prejudice
has so thoroughly Injected Itself Into
the trial here of I). C. Stephenson
that the prospect of selecting a
suitable Jury to try him for the

becomes Increasingly difficult.
At Thursday's session, the fourth
day ot the trial, 100 men had been
examined and rejocted, most of them
because of political alignments. Slill
another venire of 100 men has been
railed, and the trial promises to
drag' along even more slowly aa at
torneys for the fallen Ku Klux Klan
leader are becoming more and more
exact In their demands for suitable
Jurors.

smiling complacency, when he re

dragon of the Ku Klux Klan In
this state, and boasted that his
word was law, was Indicted last
March for the murder of Miss Madge

For 25 Years
WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. (United

pare to present their vltws on tax
reduction to tho house ways and
means committee which begins work
Monday, It develops that tbe most
considerable difference among those
who have most to do with the form
of the new law Ilea In the amount
of the Ait.
Members of congress, particularly
democrats, are advocating a large
reduction, while the treasury holds
that tbe revenues cannot stand any
thing like tbe figure they fix.
It was made known at the treas
ury Monday that a cut' between
260,000,000 and 1350.000,000
would be advocated by the admin
istration, but It is learned that the
figure will lie nearer the former.
1 A reduction of from S300.000.000 to
$700,000,000 bas been talked by
members of congress.
The difference between the treas
ury view and that of those advo
cating a higher cut who are quali
fied to speak, hinges about the
length of time In which the public
debt of the United States is to be
retired.
A substantial amount Is diverted
now each year to retiring the na
tional debt. The present policy Is
to pay It off entirely In 25 year.
