Under the presidential succession act,
cabnet officer becoming chief magis-

quiremont does not apply to a vice
president succeeding to the office of his
dead predecessor and, 1t Is believed, no
extra session would be called in the
absence of statutory requirement. as
the ;hree months intervening until De-
Ccmber can be bridged over without
difficulty and the,e il no special occa-
sion for congress assembling.
In many of the local churches today
men and women assembled for quiet
prayer that the life Of the president
might be spared. The largest OF these
meetings we're held at the Metropolitan
Methodist church, where the president
and Mrs. Mckinley worshipped. Here
many women offered earnest prayers
that the lii" of the president might be
spared \ number Of them quietly told
of pretty irCidents on the part of the
president that they had witnessed and

the right to hold the anarchists as a
precautionary measure, even though
evidence was lacking to convict them
of any crime. Counsel for the city ad-
mitted that there was no evidence to
hold the prisoners. but pleaded in justi-
fcation of holding them the world wide
moment OF the case.
In making his remarks to counsel,
the court specifically stated that he
was not discussing the case on it's mer-
it's. lie said the matters for his con-
sideration were;
First-Was the process by which the
prisoners were arrested and held regu-
lar?
Second-IIas the justice court juris-
dction'
Third-IIas the magistrate denied n
speedy hearing to the prisoners and
has he denied them the constitutional
right of bail?
These questions will be passed upon
by the court following the completion
of arguments by counsel tomorrow.
