T. S. Williams moved that a mass-meet-
ing of depositors and the public be held to-
morrow night at LIS Turk street in the old
Temple, and his motion was unanimously
carried.
T. s. Williams, E. F. Kendall and Ben
iamin Lucy were appointed committee to
wait on the Bank Commissioners and de-
mand an investigation into the reason why
Sheehan and Watt were allowed to draw
for themselves $4,000 in six months out of
money that should go to depositors; and
also to demand for protection of depoSitors'
interests.
Kendall said that the banks affairs
could be managed for $500 month, where
as it costs about $1,000 under the present
board. The Trust Company has agreed to
give large guarantee to manage the bank
for that amount. and with this in view he
believed the Bank Commissioners have a
duty to perform toward depositors. ''These
men in control now are highbinders,
scheming to get our money" said he.
A desultorv discussion ensued, during
the course of which the attorney and the
manager we're called "mere political bum

SOME RIGHTS OF COURTS.
BAIL is THE FIRST THING DESIRED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. dc. S. barrow, the
attorney for E. V. Debs, George Howard,
Sylvester Keliher, Louis w. Rodgers, w.
E. Burns, James Hagen, r. w. Goodwin
and NJ. J. Elliott, all OF whom are now
confined in the McHenry County GILL;
Jail under a commitment by United States
Judge Woods of the Seventh Circuit Court,
appeared before the United States Supreme
Court to-day in their behalf. He presented
an application for writ of error and SUI
persedeas and also. fled a motion for writ
of habeas corpus.
The object was, he said, to have the pris-
oners admitted to bail. He said he had
supposed that all the questions involved
would be presented at the same time. The
Chief Justice stated that the important
question was whether the writ of error
should be allowed, and that on this &C
count it should be first presented to the
court. Assistant Attorney General Whit
ney appeared for the United States, and it
was arranged that the petition for writ of
error should be argued on Wednesday of
this week. Mr.. Darrow said he was pre-
pared to go ahead with the argument at
any time. The petition for writ of error
is as follows:
First-That the injunction for the viola
ton of which the petitioners were sentenced
was ordered in a case of which the court
had no jurisdiction.
Second-That the court erred in deciding
that the bill on which the injunction was
granted might be maintained in the name
of the United States under the antitrust
law, and particularly under section 4 of
that act; that SO far as it purports to grant
jurisdiction to the Circuit Courts of the
United States to restrain or enioin viola
tons of it's provisions it is repugnant to
the constitution of the United States, in
that it might thus be invoked to permit
prosecution without trial by jury.
Third-That being in effect proceeding
to punish criminal contempt not COM
mitted in the presence of the court, the
court erred in not discharging the defend
ants upon their answers.
Fourth-That the court erred in not
quashing the information.
Fifth-That the court erred in trying
them on information instead of indict-
ments.
Sixth-That the court erred in trying
them without jury.
Seventh-That the court erred in holding
stated any case cognizable in a court of
equity, or of which the court could take iu-
risdiction and cognizance, and order such an
injunction or make any other therein
against the defendants.

KICKS MAY BIZ 1MPEACHED.
Which Fact Causes His ATTORNEY
Some UneaSineSS.
A Charge That Party Lines Have Been
Drawn in the Matter in
the House.

: WASHINGTON, Jan 14.-Nearly every
member of the House Judiciary Committee
attended the special meeting to-day to
consider the charges against Judge Kicks.
The committee will not reach conclu-
sion for some days. Representative Bailey
of Texas, chairman of the subcommittee
which made the investigation at Cleve-
land, submitted his views to the effect that
the Judge had been guilty of grave miscon-
duct if not malfeasance and dishonor in
receiving fees after be had been elevated
to the bench, which he claimed to have
earned before his elevation. Ex-Congress-
man Hemphill of South Carolina ap-
peared as counsel to press the charges
against Judge Kicks preferred by Samuel
I. Richie, but was not given hearing.
1t was learned to-day from unquestion-
able authority that Mr.. Lane will present
to the committee an opinion coinciding
with the views presented by Mr.. Bailey,
and will recommend to the House the res
olutions for Impeachment. There is pos
sibility that vote will be reached to-mor-
row.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 14.-United States
Judge Kicks was seen tonight regarding
the announcement from Washington to
the effect that Messrs. Bailey and Lane
of the subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Judiciary which investigated
the charges against him had practically
agreed to report in favor of impeachment
proceedings. Judge Kicks declined to dis
cuss the matter further than that he was
sorry to say the subcommittee had divided
on party lines.
Hon. Virgil P. Cline, the Judges attor-
ney, declared that the subcommittee
would not and could not be sustained by
the full Committee on the Judiciary.
He said the facts would not warrant such
action, and he was confident it would be
impossible to convince the majority of the
committee that impeachment proceedings
ought to be begun.

at Stockwell's last night before large au-
dience. The play has had at least two
successful runs in this city particularly,
and the performance given at this theater
seems to promise a revival OF its former
success. George Osbourne forsook the part
of Jack Mason, which he rendered so strik-
ing, and played the part of Fairfax instead.
While Mr.. Osbourne is at all times an excel
lent and conscientious actor, he was not at
his best.
The part of Jack Mason was taken by
Mr.. Hayes, but he too was not in his ele-
ment. Jack Mason is intended to be cast
in the lines of Harte's John Oakhurst, or
Jack Hamlin. AS played by Mr.. Hayes, it
was given the flavor more of the Bowery
gambler than of the typical Westerner
whom Harte ideaIzed. The play would
be improved by recastng so as to put Os-
bourne back in his old part.
Hess as Bixby and Powers as LIE Moyne
were good, as was the rest of the male cast.
OF the ladies Ethel Wayne was excel
lently portrayed by May Noble, who shows
a great deal of versatility, and who i'm
proves with greater stage experience. Bes-
sic Fairfax was nicely taken by Camille
Cleveland, and Fannie Young and Sophie
Spofford made hits in the other parts.

ESCAPED FROM THE FIRE.
A Boy Saves the Lives of His
Mother and Others
By Throwing Them Out Of an Upper
Window of a Burning
Building.

This morning at twenty minutes past 1
o'clock an alarm was turned in from sta
ton seventy-six for a fire that was dis
covered in two-story frame building on
Stevenson street near Ninth.
The fremen responded with their usual
promptitude, and when they reached the
house that was ablaze they were informed
that there were five children and woman
whose retreat had been cut off.
The firemen at once made efforts to en-
ter the burning structure, but happily their
services were not required to save life, and
they directed their attention to saving
property, and in a very short time had the
fire under control.
The alarm that six human beings had
been lost in the fire was not without foun-
dation. The family of L. Fantani, the
occupant of the house, were asleep in the
upper part of the building when the fire
broke out. When they were reused the
fire had made its way to the stairway
leading to the street and they could not
escape.
The oldest son, aged about 10 years, took
in the situation at once and with unusual
presence of mind and with but little cere-
mony seized his mother, rushed her to a
rear window and forced her to jump to the
sand below.
He then seized the younger children and
dropped them out of the window, after
which he leaped after them and cared for
all.
Fortunately none of the parties so hur-
riedly forced to get out of the house were
injured.
The fire was caused by the overturning of
a lamp, and did damage to the amount of
$500.
