DALLAS. Tex. June 22.-lhe State Court OF
Criminal Aproas has declared the Mob law"
unconstitutional. Attornry-Gcncral Smith to-
day wrote letter TO Assistant Attorney Cen
rral Morris. who il at Athens. advising him Of
the courts action and instructiug him in the
Humphrey lynchng examining trials next
Monday to prosecute under the statutes for
murder in the first degree, and not under the
Mob law statute. The Court of Criminal Ap-
p"als holds that the Mob law statute is inop-
erative and void because not capable OF con-
strurtion.
The case involved was that Of Dave Angus
tine from HAYS county. The court holds that
the statute is OF such doubtful construction
that it cannot be understood either from the
Language in which II Is expressed or from any
written law OF this state. Tn" Augustine case
has figured in the courts fOrtwcuty- three years
AMI is one Of the most noted IN the judicial
history Of tho State Tho principal therein
was charged with having with oth"rs assas-
siuatrd Or Brazil and his son near tuerO IN
1870. Twelve OF the parties concerned in the
murder were brought To- tho bar Of justice, ana
several Of them were sent to the penitcntinry
Augustine once received the death penalty
but the case was reversed owing t. an error in
tho Indictment
The law was passed at the extra session OF
tn" Legislature in 1897.

Woman County Prosecutor in Michigan Ar

LANSING. Mich, juno 22.-MrS Merrie Is. Ab-
bott. who was elected last Nov mbcr Prescott 70
ing Attorney II Ogemaw county, was before
the supreme Court to-day defending her title
to the ofll"e, which was attnrkri by Attorney 70
General Ofen. Ms. Abbott is the first woman
chosen 10 such an elective olllc" in Michigan.
and the contention OF the State Is that the
common law doctrine Of custom and usage
renders her ineligible.
IT is routcnd"d that women have no rights in
this State so far as oiflcrhO!ding is concerned.
inasmuch as there il no express provision of
the statutes giving them that right. and fur
thtrmorc. that none but electors cnn hold
Office Mrs Abbott cited Instances where
women have held various Offices in Michigan.
and referred TO one case whore the conviction
Of IA murderer had been sustained although
the case was prosecuted by woman appointed
for this purpose. She insisted that women are
eligible unless deprived -! tho right by express
provision Of tho Constitution. and that with
reference to tho Office OF Prosecuting Attorney
the Constitution is silent as to qualifications
and void OF restrictions
Mrs Abbott advanced the theory that the
Constitution should not b" interpreted AS 1t
was years ago. but that such Interpretation
should lee adjusted to the changed conditions
owing to social and intellectual advancement.

evening at Dilcgentia Hall, which was largely
attended by Armenians Ahmed Ria Boy. the
leader Of the Young Turks. and the Armenian
Amneghian were the chief speakers
The Turkish Minister endcavored to the ut
most to induce the Dutch Government to pre-
vent the meeting The authorities tried to
persuade the organizers OF the meeting to re-
frain from holding it. but they could not legally
prohibit the gathering and the reformcrs re-
fused to iorego their intention.
The Government then resorted to trick. en-
deavorng to make an occasion to cXpcl the
dsturbcrs Of the Turkish Minister'S peace
from the country. The chief Of Police sum
moned Ahmed Ria and Amneghian and de-
mandod that they prove that they pos
scssed sufficient means to dcfray their no.
tel bills. 1t seems that the officials
doubted the solvency Of the rcformcrs. and II
they had been unable to show their ability to
meet their bills they would have been expelled
forthwith. Tho trick failed. however and
the meeting was held. with an extraordinary
result.
