A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
Can . Psrson He Prosecuted Without an

Can . Person He Prosecuted Without an
Indictment by u Grand Juryr
The attorneys for George w. Nichol-
son, who Is charged with the murder
of James Wilson. raised what might be
taken as q very important and serious
legal question in a motion to quash the
information which was filed In the dis
trict court yesterday. They not only
raise q state constitutional question but
bring In the 18th amendment to the
con9ftution of the United States. The
motion alleges in effect hat a person
cannot be prosecuted under an infor-
nation filed by the county attorney,
but must be indicted by a grand jury.
The question as to the power of the
county attorney to prosecute criminals
under an Information has been repeat
eddy passed upon by the courts, but
Nicholson's attorneys will have them
pass on II again. The motion to quash
recites the fact hat the information
charges murder in the first degree,
which. 1t says, Is contrary to the consti-
tuition. which provides that mo person
shall be held for answer for a capital
or otherwise Infamous crime unless on
presentment of Indictment by a grand
jury except In cases arising In the land
or naval forces or in the militia when
In actual service In time of war or pub
lie danger. nor hall any person be sub
3ect for the same ofense to be twice
put in Jeopardy for life or limb"
THE Information" says the motion.
Charges the defendant with the crime
OF murder in the first degree which
Information is not a presentment or
Indictment by a grand jury, n Is
therefore u~nwarranted in law N con-
trary to the 18th article of the amend
ments to the constitution OF the United
States. which provides. among other
things, that no state shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridee the
privileges OF immunities OF citizens OF

A FAMILY QUARREL.
The Details OF the Aired Before
Judge Clancy.


A suit growing out of some old trou-
bles In the family of Patrick ii. Toole
was on trial before a jury in Judge
Clancy's court yesterday. p. r. Doyle
sued r. l.. Mahoney to get possession
of a lot Of household goods. being the
furniture Of the Great Northern hotel.
Doyle bought the furniture from Toole
a few years q for $500. but when he
vent to take possession of IL he found
that Mahoney had 1t and intended to
keep 1t. Mrs. Toole was a sister of
Mr. Mahoney. and with her husband
kept the hotel. Mahoney loaned them
money from time to time. until in 1896
II amounted TO E.474. for which Ma
honey claims Toole gave him a deed to
the real estate and a bill of sale to per-
sonal property. The papers were
draw up in the office Of Attorney John
w. Cotter. M the latter was to keep
them. 1t was agreed by the parties
that IL In two years Toole paid the debt
the deed and bill OF sale would be sur
rendered. A few days q Mahoney
called for the papers and found them
missing. Yesterday in our Toole was
cited to produce them, as IL was sus-
pected he had them in his possession.
His attorney fought hard against 1t.
but te Ill to bring them into court.
They were two mortgages and a bill
OF sale. each made out for the s7.474
claimed to have been advanced by
Mahoney 10 his brother-in-law. Toole.
however. claimed that the bill of sale
had only been out as a form OF con-
~venience. as he had expected to get
more money from Mahoney. but was
not successful. He said the real estate
only was included in the deal. Mrs.
Toole. who was divorced from her hus-
band several years ago. testified that
she signed all the papers and when
she did so she understood they included
all h property and were given to Gov
er the Indebtedness. At the conclusion
OF h testimony the court adjourned

A ROBBERY COMMITTED
James Dalton Says He Was Done

Story Is Incoherent q Dis

II there is anything in the story
that james Dalton told to the police.
a very bold robbery was committed at
an early hour yesterday morning, In
which Dalton was assaulted and then
robbed Of $40. About 3 O'Clock yester-
day morning, Police officer Barney
McGilric had his attention called to a
man lying on the foor in the main en-
trance of the Owsley block. bleeding
profusely from a wound on the bridge
of the nose. The man. who proved TO
he Dalton, was very drunk. and as he
could give no clear account Of himself.
he was taken to the city Jail. He told
an incoherent story of having been cs-
sauited and robbed. but the officers
could make very little out of his state
ment and he was locked up to get So
Der. Later In the day. when the effects
Of the liquor had worn of, Dalton said
he went into the Owsley block. ills
mind was still much muddled and he
therefore did not know Just what led
him in that direction. but he found
himself in a narrow p~assageway behind
the elevator. There he met a tall man.
which Is all the description he could
give of his assaiiant. who deliberately
struck him in the face. knocking him
down and then proceeded to go through
him. After robbing him. the fellow left
and some persons passing through II
lobby, saw Dalton and called the Of
ficer. Dalton took account OF the mon
ey he had left, which was but a
few dollars, and said he had lost $50.
Officer McGilfic had seen Dalton ear
lier in the morning. noticed he was very
drunk and saw him display quite a
roll of bills. In his company at the
time was a tall man. whom he did not

he was merely booked for vagrancy On
general principles. Dalton a a bad
cut on his lose and was allowed 20

lost his money somehow. without book

mentator, to lSOk upon the sublime
sons of genius without malice or envy
or sadness, to play little side-part
and then silently retire. The curtain
and darkness fall; no plaudits swell
from the audience, but God has marked
the sparrow that fell and borne it
safely away. A few fellow creatures
may pause to weep and say "I loved
him!" over his grave, and then the
drop is Iung down and he is forgotten.
The commonplace woman is a fa-
miliar person. We see her everywhere
with no characteristics save her love
of d;ess and display, her inordinate
conceit, her beautiful, vain face and
shallow heart. Does such a woman
ever pause to sometimes listen to the
swelling of thoughts she cannot speak
but only listen to, as they flood in up
on her until she goes down on her
knees in reverence to them? Does she
ever dream of accomplishing great
deeds and of doing coed, instead of
breaking hearts and faith with her per-
feet face and soulless body? All the
cOquettes ard firts that ever existed
were commonplace, in the clear light
of absolute truth, although the lamp of
intellectual brilliancy may have lighted
the way for them, and laughing beauty
held her dazzling torch before them.
No woman who has vestige of purity
or regard for humanity will plight a
troth she cannot keep. Commonplace is
too noble a word for q woman who
wields the roy sceptre of her woman
hood in such a manner.
"Oh, woman, throw aside your dis
guising cloaks of selfshness, effrontery
and affsctatioA! Stand forth once more
queen in your royal robe of simple
purity! A thousand swords, now rest
ing in ignoble sloth, shall leap from
their scabbards to do battle for your
honor against wrong. A thousand Sir
Ronalds shall lay lance in rest, and
Avarice, Envy and Untruth shall 60

face and form. You cannot be COM
monplace while you regard your virtue
as a priceless pearl and your life as a
gift "of price above rubies, gift to

BILE.
Be commonplace if you must my fell
low creatures, but be good Let us
live lives that we will not be ashamed
Of when the great Master drops the cur
tain at the end of time, and the Book
of Life is opened upon the records of
every existence. Let us live lives that,
however commonplace they may be,

row minds and hearts and souls. Oh,
let us, above all else, revere our bodies
and keep them chaste, our hearts, and
keep them pure, our souls, and keep
them great!

Encourage Home Industry.

One Of the chief objects Of the ceming
industrial convention is to work for the
promotion and encouragement Of the
smaller manufacturing industries, and
to foster them SO that by home encour-
agement and patronage they may grow
to larger proportions and give employ
ment to hundreds of people, where now
but score may be employed. 1t was,
therefore, most gratifying that there
was delegation of the cigarmakers of
Nashville at the meeting of the general
committee by invitation to aid with
their practical suggestions the work of
the committee. They called attention
to the fact that Nashville had fewer
men in this line of business now than
before, although more money was sent
to the Eastern cities. The markets of
the world were open to Nashville to-
bacco buyers as they were to others,
and Nashville workmen could make as
good cigars as any men, but for the lack
of home encouragement there we're but
score employed in this industry where
there should be five hundred. Not
only could five hundred cigarmakes be
employed if the people would call for
homemade cigars, but a million dol
lars sent away every year could be kept
at home and spent here. This is but
one of the many smaller industries in all
parts of the State, which it is designed
to help by encouraging home patron
age for them. Before the war there was
time when Nashville people Smoked
only Nashville cigars, because they
wore the best to be had, and there is
no reason why this should not be true
of hundred ether articles.

The Board of Trade of this city has
decided to offer S25, 90 in prizes ($15 to
first and $40 to second) to the road
overseer, who will make the greatest
improvement in the road or roads under
his charge during the coming summer.
The conditions are:
First. That prizes are limited to
roads, where greatest distance from
johnson City is not more than five
miles.
Second. That any Overseer who wants
to compete for these prizes shall make
application to the undersigned prior to
April 18th.
Third. That these prizes are not for
the best road, but for that road on
which the greatest improvement will
have been made during the coming
summer.
The prizes will be awarded according
to the sum of the improvements made,
the points considered being drainage,
shape Of surface, condition of surface
and general appearance and condition.
The undersigned will go over all
roads, on which application has been
filed for competition, as soon after
April 18th as the weather will permit,
and again in October, after which time
the prizes will be awarded.
We hope every road overseer within
the prescribed limit will compete for
these prizes, as it is the purpose to
foster general spirit of improvement
for our local roads, and we believe that
every one will agree with us, that such
spirit is sadly looking and more sadly
needed. We feel free to assert that the
roads in this section are as bad as can
be found anywhere, and it is the inten-
tion Of the Board of Trade to push the
agitation for better roads, in every pos
sible legitment way until good reads
are an accomplished fact.
