clude an effort to secure delega-
tions outside the city of one thous-

large church which the Methodist

est kind of a program.

portant gatherings ever held in this

Notice has been served on Com-
fy Attorney Harmon by J. M. D.
Mulligan that ho will attempt to se-
cure his release on a writ of habeas
corpus. Although the application |
for a writ has not been filed, Mulll-
ken, who is conllned in the county
jail serving a six months' sentence,
gave the grounds on which he
sought the writ. He c laims that he
has already served his sentence, he-
cause the time taken in perfecting
the appeal together with the time
actually served would complete his
sentence. The other contention
which Mulliken says he will raise,
is that it is unlawful to keep a
man in prison to serve out a line
at the rate of $2.00 per clay.
County Attorney Harmon said
this morning that after investigat-
ing the case he found nothing to
make the contention good in any
particular.

Rl/SINESS SESSION
in si: nati*:.
Washington, Feb. 24.—The detcr-
j initiation to get a vote before ad-
I journment was expressed today by
friends of Senator Lorimer, who
were present in force in the senate
chamber at the beginning of the ses-
sion.
Senator Beveridge took the floor
at 1 o'clock and continued his Lor-
imer speech that already had ex-
tended over nine hours. Beveridge
showed little evidence that he would i
make good his intimation of yester-
day that he would speedily conclude
today. As ho proceeded with the ar-
raignment of the gentleman from Il-
linois the galleries were filled, but I
senators were as scarce as when the
dullest of business is being enacted.
An effort made to have an hour filed !
for the vote failed. Beveridge re-
fused to yield. The proceedings as-
sumed the appearance of a filibuster
against a vote on the case.

Heretofore Couuty Court llael Hole
Right to Handle Truancy Coses
—City Officer Authorized.
City Attorney Uelsell Is busy in
the preparation of an ordinance to
extend the jurisdiction of the police
ourt over cases of dclinc|uent and
truant school children and creating
city truancy officer.
At present the only court under
state law exercising jurisdiction In
the se cases Is the county court and
so far as known it is the only court
In the state that el«>es exercise jutli-
ial authority over such classes of
auses. Heretofore the police court's
mthorlty did not extend to truancy
ases. but tlif state law not being rx-
luslve does not prohibit the exor-
ise of jurisdiction in such matters.
Under the proposed city ordinance
the police Judge may try the cases
brought before the city court by the
Ity truancy officer. The ordinance
is intended to enlarge the jurisdic-
tion exercisable under state law and
to give effect to it. The appoint-
ment of a truancy officer is provid-
for and the duties he shall as-
sume.
The ordinance Is expected to nf-
ford the most effectual means In
dealing with the truancy problem,
nder It the city truancy officer Is
lot heel with power to prosecute cas-
before the police court, and cite
the parents of the children, if noees-
. to appear. The advocates of
the measure consider it an important
one and that will effectuall> get at
the- ever-present delinquent school
hlld problem.
