New Orleans, Oct. 23.?Supports
of E. B. Peddy lost tfleir fight to.y
before a special tribunal of fedal
judges to force the use of his
tine on the official Texas ballot for
tilted States senator instead of
trip B. Mayfield, Democratic nomie
and reputed Ku Klux Klan candite.
The judges held that they wore
ithout jurisdiction to grant the retf
asked for by the Peddy faction,
ding that other questions than that
jurisdiction were not considered.
The case was transferred to New
ieans after an injunction had been

me of Peddy on the ballots. Judge

to hear the case on the grounds
no jurisdiction.
Attorneys for the fusion candidate
nounced they will carry their fight
the United States supreme court if
cessary and those representing the
ite of Texas heralded the decision
a victory for state grihts.
National politics became involved
the case when attorneys for the
ti-Ku Klux Klan or fusion fac>n
announced that R. B. Creager,
e of the complainants had received
letter from President Harding in
tich the national executive is said
have commended Texas Republins
for aiding independent Demonts
in coalition against all classes
tent upon dictation contrary to Amican
ideals.
In presenting their arguments atrneys
for the Peddy faction confided
that Mayfield is the candidate
the Ku Klux Klan, which they denied
has absorbed the Democratic

Attorneys for the state argued that

is whether the state has the right

AKNKTTE CASE
BEFORE COURT
The appeals of Frank M. Jeffords
and Ira Harrison, convicted of murder
in Richland county last May in
connection with the killing of John C.
Arnette, tilling station proprietor,
argued before the supreme court yesterday
afternoon. The court took the
cases under advisement and will render
decisions later.
L. G. Southard, attormy for Jeffords,
made no oral argument, sub.
mitting his appeal and argument in
printed briefs. B. B. Evans, attorney
for Harrison, made a lengthy argument
for his client. J. S.i Verner,
made the argument for the state
against the appeal in the Harigon
rase. Solicitor Spigner represented
the state in both cases, but only arf'ued
the Jeffords case.
Solicitor Spigner took up the exceptions
made by Jeffords' attorneys and
cited authorities in effort to show that
Judge Townsend was within his discretion
when he denied a severaor^
of the cases as moved for by attorneys
at the time of the trial. The supreme
court has held in past cases
that the trial judge can exercise his
own judgment in granting severances,
Mr. Spigner declared. No legal
right was denied Jeffords when a
severance was not granted, the so.
licitor added.
Another point emphasized by Mr.
Southard in his printed brief was that
the confessions of Harrison and
Treece were against Jeffords and
should not have been admitted as evidence
or the cases should have been
tried separately. Mr. Spigner told
the court that Judge Townsend instructed
the jury 10 or 12 times that
the confessions of Treece and Harrison
could only be uBed against themselves.
With regard to the admissibility
of the evidence offered by Sheriff
Hei.<e, S. S. Shorter. J. P. Broom
and R- F. Broom, the solicitor pointed
out that the defendants themselves
went on the stnnd and admitted everything
the officers had said.
Mr. Southard objected to the charge
of Judge Townsend as to conspiracy,
but the solicitor told the court that
the charge was fully warranted by
the facte brought out at the trial.
In reply to Mr. Spignet Mr. SouthSiitiOWllI
aejsdjS by Harrison
and Treetfe had Veen repeated
31 times and that the jury, no matter
how many times it had been instructed
to disregard the confessions of
Harrison and Treece with regard to
Jeffords, was bound to take these
statement into consideration. He argued
that the law was in favor of
a severance of cases where the defenses
were antagonistic or "hostile."
Mr. Southard submitted 13 exceptions,
the first three imputing error
by the trial judge in not granting a
severance of the cases, the next nine
co nis recusal to^ sustain tnc appellant's
objection to the admissibility
of evidence offered by the state and
the last charges error by the judge in
charging the jury on conspiracy. No
conspiracy was alleged in the indictment
and the judge erred in charging
as to the law of conspiracy, Mr.
Southard maintained.
Barnard B. Evans, attorney for Ira
Harrison, cited four exceptions in his
argument. Two were based upon the
refusal of the court to grant a severance
of the cases and two upon the
charge to the jury. Mr. Evans said
the judge erred in charging the jury
on implied malice and on conspiracy
when no conspiracy was alleged in the
'ndictment.
Mr. Evans, upon being questioned
by Justice Cothran, admitted that
Harrison did not move for a severance
of the cases, but argued that the
judge had already refused such a motion
for Jeffords and nothing would
have been gained by a repetition of a
motion in the Harrison case.
At this point Mr. Evans explained
to the court that he had not represented
the defendant at the original
trial, but had been employed by the
mother of Harrison "since the first
lawyer deserted the case." He told
the court that the only evidence the
state had sufficient to convict the
three men was that of Harrison, and
decalred that Harrison had told the
truth "and should not the truth be
rewarded?" he asked.
He maintained that the cases should
have been tried separately, that the
defenses were not only antagonistic,
but "hostile." He charged that no
conspiracy was alleged in the indict-?-a
T?I
1IIUJ1W niiu IU1Q VUO fUUH JUU^ iuwnsend
erred in charging the Jury on the
law of conspiracy. He said the pronoun
"him" was used all the way
through the indictment and never was
"them*' used, he alleged.
Mr. Evans brought in the famous
Hall-Mills case in illustrating how
one may may lie against another,
pointing out the Scheider-Hayes incident
in this case. He charged that
Harrison might have been intimidated
by officers on the night of hit arrest
ot might have been led to believe thhc
he would "get off easy" if he confessed.
The attorney declared Judge Townsend
would have been equally correct
in charging the jury on arson as on
conspiracy and told the court that the

AIRPLANES MAY
ClRCl| GLOBE
Washington, Oct. 28.?Tentative
plans for an attempted flight of army
airplanes around the umVld have been
under consideration far some months
by air service official^ it was learned
today, but the project has net as yet
passed the preliminary survey stage.
Valuable data on available routes in
both directions have 4>em> obtained,
however, end ultimately it is hoped
to send a considerable Aerial squadron
on the voyage. The project will not
be laid before Seuswjy Weeks for
approval, it was sai? until it takes
much more definite f#m.
Two of the rotate* Considered are
that from the Atlantic coast via Iceland
and Ireland and that from the
Pacific via Alaska, the Aleutian islands,
Siberia and home via Ireland
and Iceland. Air service officials said
the route offering the most favorable
Jlai *
tumuMons as to prevailing winds
would be selected should the flight be
ordered, and it -Would then become
necessary to obtain permission of
each of the countries to be traversed
before the squadron con Id start.
The question of air navigation by
pilots of one country over the territory
of another nation has been considered
by the council ef the league of
nations in order to establish uniformity
of practice. So far as the United
States and Canada art concerned, a
recent agreement fixed reciprocal
rights for the pilots of the two nations.
Aymy fliers conceived the world circling
flight plan in line with the reason
which prompted President Roosevelt
to send he fleet around the world
in 1908, it was said. It would hav
value both as a step in providing
aerial defense through training and
in giving the world a better understanding
of American poet-war developments.
Fliers of otter nations have
undertaken, up to this time without
success, world circling flights but
only with a single plane, while the
American service project would
call for a fleet of aircraft and careful
preparations involving considerable
expenditure. Possibly a special act
of congress to authorise a flight and
make necessary preparations would
be necessary, should vHeywcretary approve
the oUns. . . dl
oFr this reason it' isi|/pected that
no Hofinitp ifmn will Vi *?- -

WOMAN FREED
AFTER KILLING
Kansas City, Oct. 23.?A jury in
criminal court hero asquitted Mario <
F...(Peggy) Beal tonight of the mur- .
der of Frank Anderson here last 1
summer. The jury deliberated two i
hours. Prisoners in the county jail I
adjoining the court room joined the 1
applause incited by the announce- i
ment of the acqulttaL The hoom was '
crowded despite the late hour. The j
trial started this morning. Few wit- I
nesses were examined and the testi- 1
mony was short.
When questioned concerning the \
fatal shooting which occurred June <
8 in a hotel room where Mrs. Beal 1
nanoncu Aiiueison naa mrea ner by t
promises of marriages, though he t
was already married, Mrs. Beal wept t
with her face in her hands. ]
"I came here from Springfield, i
111., to marry Warren." she testified, f
'He told me that he could not marry t
me so I shot him."
Mrs. Beal slew the n ail she loved \
when she realized that she was about 1
to lose him, Anthony Nugent, an as- %
siatant county prosecutor, declared in t
his closing argument. He held that (
she received inspiration for her crime
from a hook named "Thuvia, Maid of c
Mars," which was found in her room t
after she had fired the fatal shot
pnd attempted to take her own life. \
The defense contended that Mrs (
Beal was the victim of r. "professional (
love pirate" and held that she was t
temporarily insane. t
As Judge Ra'ph S. Lathshuw read x
:! v (! rt Beal leaped to her j
. i . animation for the first .
r..e (i.ti tie trial. She turned to
jurymen, thanking them.
"Now I am going to stay in Kansas
City," she exciaimed, "and make good.
I'm going to send for my little boys
in Terre Haute, and make them a
good home."
Mrs Beal, 32 years of age, a di- t
vorcee, shot Anderson as he lay on a .
bad in the room which they occupied ^
together. She then turned the re- ^
volved upon herself sending a bullet
into her breast. Anderson was the
