said:
"Thirty-three years ago, as young law

Of tue hour was slavery and secession, the
one the highest moral issue people ever
had to deal with, the other the life or
death of the republic"
He paid q warm tribute to two citizens
of Buffalo, who, he said, each in his time
dill right; the oEe. ElDridge @. Spauld-
ing. in opposing limitless imitation of the
currency, and the other. Grover Cleve-
land IN protecting the honest dollar. He
said in conclusions:
81 want to express to you my profound
appreciation of this unique and distin-
guisLed honor. You misbs have wal ed

Senator Gibson's Views

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Ths Daily News
Washington special says:
Senator Gibson today, discussing the
subject of mis- defeat, SAID:
There has been no eXaggeration in the
statement that the fight was against Sen.
ator German. The election OF Hurst was
but an incident in the great battle. The
feht was between those VIII favored the
Wilson bill and those who believed the
senate did right in changing the mea =
are. But for this fight the state would
have gone Democratic and | would have
been returned to the senate. 1 suffere
defeat more than anyone else. The peo-
pie had 1t in for their senators and my
head came up first and of course it was
hit. Senator German has not been hurt.
He is strongly ;ntrenched in the senate.
He is inside the breastworks and does
not come up for reelection for two
years. and before that time elapses the
people of Maryland will flock TO him like
blaokoird to tree, with feelings OF
greater qualification and PRIDE in him
than they had when he saved the coun.
try from the force bill.'

REFUSAL OF A JURY TRIAL
Does Not Go to Jurisdiction of the
Court
An Important Decision Growing Out of the
Conviction of a Los Angeles
Feminine Vagrant

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. s. - The
supreme court has handed dow n an i'm
portant rule in the matter OF one Jeanne
Fife on hdbeas corpus. Miss Fife was
convicted IN Los Angeles police court OF
vugrancy. She appealed to the snperior
court and the juIa was affirmed.
The superior Judge refused her trial by
iury. Under these circum -tances she in
sisted that her convictior was illegal and
that she was entitled to her release on
habeas corpus. The supreme court in
denying the writ used the following i'm
portant language:
"Uron thorough examination Of the
question we are forced to the conclusion
that In either civil or criminal cases the
denial Of a trial by jury is merely error
to be corrected on appeal, and does not
20 to the jurisdiction Of the court so that
it may be inquired into on habeas corpus,
except in those cases where jury cannot
be waived, and therefore, IS a necessary
constituent part of the conrt.'
