IS A BODY BLOW.
Judge PAUL Declines TO Grant a
Writ OF Mandamus to
COMPEL SIGNING OF THE BILL
OF Exceptions to Pres. nlcGrcgors
Rulings at the Recent Session of
County Commissioners ut Which
tho Deadlock was Broken : The
Five Republicans Believe This De-
cision VIII Close the "Incidcnt."

Late yesterday afternoon. Judge
PAUL, OF the Ohio county circuit court.
handed down his decision on the petit
ton OF Attorney W. p. Robinson for a
writ OF mandamus to compel President
II. F. McGregor, OF the board OF county
commissioners, to sign bills OF exception
presented by the attorney in the pro-
ceedlngs for writ of certiorari review
Ing the recent rulings OF President Me-
Gregor, in the county board, that final
ly resulted In the breaking OF the dead
lock and the defeat Of the coalition"
1--WE.
Judge PAUL declines to issue the writ
OF mandamus, and cites three reasons
for his action, summarized as follows:
First-The court holds that w. P.
Robinson has no such interest In the
matter as would justify the issuing Of
the writ in his behalf
Second-The bill Of exceptions was
presented to Mr.. McGregor as president,
when 1t should have been presented to
at least majority OF the members Of
the board. ~
Third-The petition commanded Pres
ident McGregor to sign. when 1t should
have commanded all the members OF
the board to sign.
The 1--WE Republicans OF the board, In
cluding President McGregor, whose acts
were assailed in the proceedings, were
conSratulating themselves last evening
upon the outcome OF the matter, and
they do not believe that there will be n
revival of the effort TO overturn their
acts,

LUDLOW'S RECOMMENDATIONS

He Sees Wherein the Government of Ha-
vann Could Be Greatly Improved.
Brigadier General Ludlow, military
governor of Havana, has submitted a
report to the war department, covering
the work of the last year, with recon-
mendations for some changes in the
the present system.
He suggests an apportionment OF
the surplus customs revenues among
the several departments. An increase
of local revenues is urged to accom-
plish this. General Ludlow propose
an increase of taxes on real estate
from 8 10 II per cent. A general re.
vision of the tax system is required,
the present system being defective and
corrupt, in the opinion of the general.
General Ludlow says that the civil
government of Havana now discharges
many functions which should be left
to the local administration; that there
should be more police courts, and that,
in all conditions, care should be taken
to respect the individuality of auton-
omy of each province.

His Pro-Aguinaldo Address Was No,
Relished By Kansas Crowd.
A dispatch from Wichita, Kas., says:
Former Congressman Jerry Simpson
was hooted off the platform here while
addressing a local G. A. R. reunion.
Mr.. Simpson said: 81 glory in the
spunk of Aguinaldo's men. They are
simply fighting to regain the land the
Catholics took from them"
Mr.. Simpson said in substance that
he would rather be with Aguinsldo
than with General Otis.
An old soldier in the audience arose
and said the speech was drifting into
politics. This was applauded and
greeted with cries of "throw him ont, !"
and "kick him off the platform" Men
and women rose and hissed and the
men kept crying ''put him out"
Simpson attempted to go on, but no
one could hear him. The band struck
up "The Star-Spangled Banner" and
Mr.. Simpson left the platform. His
retirement was greeted with prolonged
applause.

1t had long been, says the royal
biographer, the wish of the Queen
and Prince Consort to visit Ireland,
and it was hoped that the sympathy
of the sovereign, marked by her
presence among her suffering sub
jects might have cheering influence.
In August, 1919, the Queen and
Prince, with their four children, hav-
ing embarked at Cowes, lalded at
the Cove of Cork. At the moment
when the Queen stepped for the first
time op the Irish shore the sun burst
in splendor from the clouds, and to a
deputation of the townsmen her majesty
communicated her pleasure that the
town of Cove in commemoration OF
her visit, should henceforth bear the
name of Queenstown. The reception
of the royal party was most enthuslas-
tic. In her journal her majesty wrote:
"The beauty of the women is very
remarkable, and struck us much;
such beautiful dark eyes and hair,
and such fine teeth; almost every
third woman was pretty. and some re-

THEY GOT $5O,OOO.
Robbers Secure he Money of an Old Mex

Robbers Secure the Money of an Old Mex
ican Woman.
A sensational robbery occurred in
suburb of the City of Mexico. Quad.
alupe Vasquez, an old woman 85 years
of age, living with her widowed daugh-
ter, was the victim. The women were
alone, and employed no servants.
Everyone thought them exceedingly
poor, but this was only apparent, f"-
they had a great sum of money in the
house, there being kept in a steel box
$50, 900 in bank bills, the proceeds Of
the sale of hacienda near the city.
Besides this sum there we're many
thousands of dollars kept in the ward
robes, in stockings, or between the
leaves of books. In some way news
that the women had a great amount of
money got to the ears of some men,
who came to the house and hired a
large corral at its rear, for the pur-
pose, the old woman said, of keeping
pigs. Their purpose was robbery, as
now appears, and Saturday morning,
the mother being alone in the house,
these men came, and, under the pre-
tense of having message to deliver,
were let in by the old woman, whom
they seized and bound with ropes.
They then took the steel box with the
$50, 900 and decamped, but omitted to
search for other money.

STAGE MANAGER KILLED.

company, shot and killed Frank Ley.
den, stage manager and leading man
of the company, at Chattanooga, Fri
day night, at the city opera house on
the stage, just before the curtain rose
for the performance to begin.
A coroner's inquest was held, al
which it was developed that trouble
had existed between Leyden and Miss
Morrison, and she slapped Leyden.
1t appears that they quarreled over
the woman's alleged bad acting, Ley
den accusing her of being but an
amateur.
