DEFINING Is THE RIPPER.
Confession by the Notwithstanding
Criminal

MELBOURNE, April 2s.-The Stand
ara today says II is in a position 10 an
nounce without reserve that Deemlng
has confessed 10 his lawyers aud the
doctors who examined him that tie COM
mitted majority OF the Jack the
Ripper" crimes in the WhItechapel dis
trlet OF London. The article has ere
ated a sensation.
The judge 10 whom Solicitor Lyle
made application Yesterday for a furth-
or Adjournment OF the trial OF Frederick
Bailey Deeming, today refused 10 grant
any further postpOnement. The de
meanor OF Deeming when he was ar
ranged for trial in the Central criminal
court today presented "a marked differ
ence from his conduct az the inquest.
Today he was quiet and depressed, ana
he looked very much disappointed when
the Judge decided that no further delay
would be granted. and that The trial
should at once be proceeded with.
lecied aud the usual fOrmalities
complied with, the public prosecutor
began his opening speech, In which he
arTayed with almost lrresitable force all
the facts IN connection with the murder
OF the prisoners wife. Deeming
listened closely 10 the prosecutors
speech, paying no attention TO the
crowd that tnronged the court room
eager TO see the criminal whose many
evil deeds have brought him world
wide nOtOriety.
Counsel for the prisoner asked the
judge 10 disregard the plea ~ not guilty
previously entered by Deeming. He
had pleaded thus. counsel said. against
the advice OF his lawyers, and be now
desired TO withdraw that plea. The
judge said at later stage OF the pro-
ceedings he would ask the jury con
corning the request OF the counsel. the
court then adjourned.
A curious feature Of the court room
today was the presence Of a canary bird.
which had belonged 10 the murdered
Emily Mather Deeming, aud which the
prisoner had taken with him after the
murder. BY means of this bird and It's
cage the prisoner mad been traced from
place to place, and 1t has been largely
instrumental IN bringing him 10 Justice.

WRATH OF THE CENSUS.
District Court Suit Involving a
Citizens Committee Printing

District Court Suit Involving n
Citizens Committee Printing
Bill.
The census trouble between Mime
apolis and st. Paul was recalled in the
district court yesterday morning by the
commencement OF suit before Judge
Canty. After the official count OF Min
neapolis had begun. it will be- rcmem-
bered, citizens committee was organ
lied to assist the governments repre-
sentative. +. }. Davenport, in making a
full count of noses. 1t was necessary to
have considerable printing done. The
parties having the matter in charge i'll
cluded, among others, L. j. Dav-
export. the census supervisor; LO-
rem Fletcher. ID. NJ. Clough and
A. Il. Ankeny. The printing
was given TO Harrison IL Smith. In the
complaint to the present action IT IS al
legged that between April and June
25, 1899, certain printing was done,
which was OF the reasonable value of
SS0425 This printing consisted Of re-
ceipts, tabs. etc, which were afterwards
pulled" by the St. Paul sheriff.
This morning there was brilliant
array of legal talent around the green
table in the small room over which
Judge Canly rules. On one side was
the eloquent f. f. Davis and his quiet,
though keen, assistant, Ii. Nj. Farnam.
The Knight OF Mesaba, Bob" jamie
son, led the opposing galaxy. Bob
Penny, his partner, quiet and smiling
as ever, was at his side. Judge Pierce,
gray-haired and thoughtful, conducted
tho cross-eXaminatlOn, while A. /. An
keny figured in the double role OF de-
PENDANT and consulting attorney.
Considerable trouble was experienced
in securing a jury and at one time it
looked as u the regular panel would be
exhausted and a number OF talesmen
called. In addition 10 the first twelve
Jurors called it was necessary to call
fifteen others before full jury could
be secured, who had no prejudice in the
case.
The first. and the state witness
called was Ed Stevens. he who Is still
referred 10 of census fame.
His evidence related TO ordering
printing done The defense makes no
denial of the fact that the work done by
Johnson IL Smith was worth the amount
claimed, but Davenport claims that 1t
was ordered at the instance of the cit
liens committee, while the members OF
the committee claim that he was not
authorized to give any such orders. Mr..
Stevens stated that what goods he
ordered were upon instructions re-
ceived from Mr.. Davenport or upon an
order signed by him. Nothing new
came out in his testimony. Mr.. Daven-
port was placed or the stand shortly be-
fore the recess and said that the print
| ing was ordered for the committee and
at the request of the members. He
denied that the work was ordered done
on his own responsibility.

LARTICLE o.
City Attorney Russell Argues the
VALIDITY of the old Ordinance.

City Attorney X. ID. Russell appeared
before Judge Elliot yesterday after
noon loaded down with law books and
arguments His business was 10 con
vince the judge that his ruling in the
Rand amendment case was wrong,
and that the whole Of section 0. OF the
saloon ordinance, is not Invalid. Mr..
Russell said that in order 10 establish
the opinion held by the saloon men and
inclined 10 by the court. IL must appear
and be the law That section ., as amend
ed, is re-enactmenI OF section . in the
Old ordinance, and that by that re-en-
aetment the old ordinance Is repealed.
The copying Of that section does not
make il new section from tnat time,
for provision copied from one act or
ordinance into another remains a law
from the time OF the original enactment.
This reasoning would leave the old sec
ton . In force even should the new sec
ton fail.
The next point made by Mr.. Russell
was that the Invalid paragraph is sep
arate aud distinct from the rest OF the
section and does not affect it in any
way. The rule OF law Is that court IN
imvaiidating portion OF section must,
TO stand. Section 9 is alike in both
ordinances save the clause restricting
the issuing OF complaint, which Is found
in the new section only aud Is not in
conflict with anything in the old ordi-
nance. This clause, further, has no
bearing upon the remainder OF the sec
ti0n. II The whole OF section IS inyal-
III the old ordinance yet remains in
force The repeating clause of the new
ordinance provides for the repeal Of
'all ordinances or parts Of audiences In
conflict with this ordinance" The Old
ordinance Is not in conflict With the
new because the old does not touch on
the mode OF procedure. Consequently,
the old ordinance must be in force, not
having been repealed.
Judge Eliors final decision will be
rendered tomorrow afternoon at z
O'Clock, and In the meantime a curious
uoDulace will wonder and wonder
