Berlin, Sunday, June 8.—The consti-
tutional convention has completed its
consideration of a bill creating a) state
court -wlhch would try those accuse3 of
starting, lengthening and losing the
war. It will he presented in the na-
tional assembly Boon.
The measure provides for a commit-
tee of fifteen members of the national
assembly to investigate the political
and military leadership of the country
prior to and during the war, and re-
quires ibe go. 'rnment to produce any
ni tp needed at the projected
ials. The coy it would be composed
flf • < n members, including the pres-
ident if the imperial, military, Prus-
sian, Bavarian and Hanseatic supreme
courts, fIV. .-’embers of the national as-
sembly and five senators. The accused
would be permitted to have coun-
sel and Would be given the privilege
of testifying. Deliberations of the
court would be secret and there would
be no appeal from its verdict.
"The people demand an explanation
as to who is guilty for the war, why it
Was not ended earlier and whether the
baleful result could not have been
partly nr wholly avoided," says a state-
ment which will accompany the bill
when it is presented to the national
assembly. “This Is the task of a state
court, although it can render no final
verdict because It Is unable to sec
the archives of other countries par-
ticipating in the war.

J. T. MUNSON
PASSED AWAY
THIS MORNING
LIFE OF . PIONEER OITIZEN AND
PHILANTHROPIST COMES TO
A PEACEFUL CLOSE.
(In his apartments at 515 West
Woodard street, \\ here he had made
his home for several months, death
came to J. T. Munson at an early hour
this morning, thus bringing to a ' lose
the life of one not only familiarly
known but who has been identified
with the growth and development of
Denison since a short time after the
town was located. For several years
Mr. Munson has been in bad health
and while he has taken no part in
business affairs for a long time, he up
to a comparatively recent past has
been able to move about to a limited
extent, spending the most of his time,
however, in the offices of the Munson
Realty company of which he was a
member. Only recently was it noted
that he was failing fast and his fam-
ily and friends were prepared for the
announcement made this morning.
J. T. Munson was born near Astoria,
Fulton county, Illinois, Sept. 30, 1841,
