Habeas Corpus Proceedings.


Habeas corpus proceedings were be-
gun in the Davenport district court
yesterday before Judge Bolliuger by
the first wife of the late George Il.
Davis, who was drowned in Rock
river last week, to secure control of
the two children in the possession of
the second wife. When Mr.. Davis Sc
cured divorce from his first wife he
was given custody of the children, by
consent of the mother, it is reported,
and since his death the mother
has been anxious to get them back
again.
The case promises to be an interest
ing one. Both of the women appeared
in court and the children, two little
boys, were there also. George W.
Scott and A. p. McGuirk are the at
torneys for the first wife and w. Nj
Chamberlin represents the second
wife. He is assisted by Julius Lis
cher. The judge stated that he de-
sired TO take such action as would be
for the welfare of the children, aud
he adjourned the case to 8 o'clock
Friday morning in order that the at
torneys in the case can secure all the
information in regard to the two wo-
men that will have it's bearing in his
decision.

END OF CENTRAL LEAGUE
Bloomington and Decatur to Play for the

PenDRnt
The Central Baseball league is no
more. Terre Haute failed to appear at
Bloomington for games as scheduled,
and Danville, which played there Mon
day, refused TO remain. Tlis being
the situation, and the big attendance
at the Labor day game having made
Bloomington square with the world,
the Bloomington managers have de-
cided to wind up their affairs and dis
band their team as league club.
1t has been decided that Blooming
ton. which won the pennant of the
first half of the season, and Decatur.
winner for the latter half, will play
series of Is games for the champion

Mr.. HURST RETURNS
FROM EUROPEAN TOUR

Hon. f. W. Hurst arrived home to-
day after a 2-months' European So
journ, during which he visited the
principal cities of England, Sweden,
Norway. Germany and France. Most
of the time was spent in Paris. Mrs.
Hurst is still abroad, intending TO see
the passion play at Oberammergau
and take trip through Switzerland
before sailing for home early in Octo-
Der.
Mr.. Hurst has been benefited per-
ceptibly in health by his vacation,
which he states ne enjoyed to the ut
most. His Impressions of the exposi-
ton are at variance with the reports
that have been circulated by others
back from the French capital.
1t is a grand show" said Mr.
Hurst. Simply a cursory tour Of
the grounds does not do justice to it,
for the buildings are so scattered that
one misludges the real merit and
magnitude of the enterprise. Paris
could not make her exposition as
compact as was done in Chicago for
the reason that there was not avail
able any one continuous strip of
ground en- which to locate it. How
ever, this condition has not in any
way detracted from the grandeur of
the show, which, in my opinion, sur
passes anything of its character ever
before attempted. 1t requires many
days to see the exposition as it
should be seen, and when one has
been through it all, and given suffi
cient time to it, the least he can say
for it is that it is a grand show
Mr.. Hurst arrived in New York
last Saturday. He was a passenger
of the Deutschland. which broke all
former ocean time records.
The true side of the story sent out
from London to a Chicago newspaper
identifying Mr.. Hurst with Yerkcs'
gigantic railway enterprise is Just as
THE ARGUS said-Mr. Hurst merely
ran over from Paris to London to see
mis- old friend, ID II. Louder back,
who is identified with YeTkes. In
stead of concealing his mission, as he
might have done had he actually been
acting as promoter for Mr.. Ierkes, he
sought out some of the newspaper
men to ascertain Mr.. Louder back S
whereabouts And that is how the
story started.

AN ASSAULT REPULSED

st. Louis Republicans, almost as a
unit, will enter a vigorous denial to the
Globe-Democrat's assertion that Julius
Wurzburger was In touch with the TO-
900 Republicans Of St. Louis" They
viii also, IL they know the provisions
of the former election law, deny its as
sertiOn that Julius Wurzburger was
but one against two on the Election
Board.
Under the provisions Of the old law
the appointment Of the Republican
judges and clerks Of election was placed
absolutely in the power Of the Republic
an Commissioner. The Election Board
as a whole did not pass upon the ap-
pOintees Of the Republican Commits
sioner. His power in his party was su-
preme. The only possible appeal or
check was, when the lists were sub
mitted to the Circuit Judges, to prefer
charges of unfitness or dishonesty
against individuals named as judges and
clerks of election. These charges could
not be based on the mere opinion Of the
petitioners. They had to be definite and
circumstantial. They had to convict the
accused. Mere powerful adherence to a
faction Of the party would not be cause
for preferring charges
Under such conditions the statement
Is fair that Julius Wurzburger would
have been the Gar and dictator for the
Republican party in st. Louis.
This was the object for which Mayor
