TRYING STATE CASES.


City Attorney Stewart wants to hear
again from tho court OF criminal appeals
upon The jurisdiction OF city courts IN
State cases. since the supreme court has
so literally reviewed its findings upon the
subject.
In order TO get another ruling from this
court h. has advised the resumption OF the
trial OF state cases in the recorders court,
and the first of these cases was tried yes
terlay but the defendant had no time TO
take advantage OF his position to test
points OF law 50 ne tacitly acquiesced To
the jurisdiction OF court and paid his fine
rather than take an appeal.
L is held by some lawyers that Mr..
Stewart may encounter an obstacle in get
ting another case TO tho court of criminal
appeals in that an appeal from the record
er's court lies first with the criminal dis
trict court. and that Judge Gavin. taking
THE recon. finding OF the court OF appeals
as an authority. viii decide adversely to
The right OF the city TO try State cases,
and thus premaurely end the matter before
it ever gets back to the court OF criminal

Arc in Perfect Accord--Thcy Discuss
Street Paving and Exchange
views Freely.

The board Of public works. consisting OF
| B. A. Riesner, O. c. Drew and E. u.
Gushing, held a conference yesterday at
| ternoon with the internal improvement
| committee OF the Business League, those
| present of this committee being Colonel
| w. A. Childress. MIR. Adam Clay and MIR.
| John LYONS.
| MIR. Clay was made chairman OF the con-
ference.
In presenting the street paving data
that the league committee had secured.
MIR. CLAY said that there were some mat
tiers 10 which the committee desired TO call
the boards attention. one was the un-
usual Specifications for asphalt, a Pa inch
binder and = inch wearing surface. helnS
specifications unhoard o. in any locality
where asphalt paving was used and which
practically prohibited asphalt contractors
from bidding on this work.
Another suggestion was that ten year
guarantee be required for brick or asphalt
paving. that for the first five years the
city be held free of any charge Tor re-
pairs and that for the second and fifth
years the repairs be called for on a per-
centage basis.
Another matter discussed was the
ambiguity OF the specifications for gravel
nav eIhtIt, II ptlnS maintained oy some
OF The gentlemen present that the term
thoroughly rolled" was too indefinite and
was admissible of several interpretations.
1t was suggested that what one man
might consider thoroughly rolled might
not be regarded by another party as
thoroughly rolled" The Specifications on
this score should be more specific. de-
claring the number OF times the surface
must be rolled and with what weight
roller, then there could be no misunder-
standing.
On motion of Mr.. Gushing the sugges
tions OF the citizens committee and the
data submitted by them were received
with thanks and the committee WAS as
surcd that their assistance would be avail |
ed Of in the future. Captain Drew remark
