ST. cLAIR's JUDGES AGAIN.
They May Again BE Committed to jail
for Contempt Of h United
States Court.

Judge Philips. in the federal court yes
terday, made an order directed to the MEM
bers of the county court of st. Clair coun-
ty, to appear before him November Is. and
show cause why they should not obey the
summons OF the court directing them to
levy a special tax to pay a judgment
against the county for old bonds that were
issued for a railroad that was never built.
The members OF the county court are
Thomas Gill, Thomas hewitt and Robert
Lyons. They were elected, as all other
judges there have been since the bond fight
began, on an issue to never levy the tax,
and while they will hoist no red flag when
they com into court, 1t Is absolutely GER
tain they will not levy the special tax to
pay any of the sums claimed.
The position Of county judge In st. Clair
places. To accept 1t a man must pledge
by all that is sacred and holy he will never
levy the special pond tax. and preserving
that pledge has caused several of the men,
bers of the court to spend their vacations
in jail for months at a time. There are
others who will go to Jail and stay there
before they will ever obey that order of the
court. The battle between the claimants
and the county has been on for seven
years. and II has come up in some form at
every term of court. The fight will be
continued indefinitely. as the ~bondholders
have hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of judgments and penalties that will
continue to increase. and they will con-
tinue to battle for 1t in hopes of 4 COM
promise of some sort.
