"GOO-GOO" EYES IN COURT
WOMAN TRIES 'EM ON THE JUDGE
On Invitation She Dissipates the
Ignorance of the
Bench.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, June 20.-Pretty women made
''goo-goo' eyes at Justice Dooley in the
Maxwell street police court yesterday.
Mamie Vociki was on trial charged with
having made 'goo-goo' eyes at her neigh
Dor, Annie Monich, SS5 Airport street.
''She makes goo-goo eyes at me all the
time, explained Mrs. Monich. When
ever she sees me she makes eyes, and l
want it stopped"
Then Mrs. Monich introduced a dozen
women to testify that "goo-goo" eyes as
made by the defendant greatly worried
and troubled the complainant.
I've heard much about 'goo-goo' eyes,
but have never seen them,'' declared his
honor Il am unable at this time to say
whether 'goo-goo' eyes are violations OF
the law"
Then one of the witnesses volunteered
to demonstrate what 'goo-goo" eyes
really were. The proposition staggered
the magistrate, and it was fully a minute
before he replied. Then he permitted
the witness to make "goo-goo' eyes Her
efforts were greeted with roars of laugh
ter. She gave room to another, who said
that her goo goo" eyes were the real
thing. She winked one eye shyly and
seemed to be flirting with the court
bailiff. Then followed the other women
in all the different styles of goo goo
eyes.
The court found relief by sending all
the women home and warning the defend
ant to refrain from making goo goo
eyes in the future

American states this afternoon. Governor

great cordiality and ostentation. Mime

courtesy, and it was warmly appreciated
by the an-American legions.
Senor Naunziew, in charge of the Mexi-

James McMullen yesterday said he would
like very much to meet the governor Of

Mexican building, then to the Guatemala
Honduras and other headquarters.

VISIT FROM DOM PAUL
PREPARING. FOR HIM IN AMERICA
BOeF SympathiZer Tells of COrre-
spOndence Between Kruger

Washington, June 20.-The Boer sympa-
thizers in the United States are making
preparations for visit by Mr.. Kruger to
this country in the autumn, which was
announced some time ago by Montagu
White, the Transvaal representative in
Washington. G. W. Van der Hoogt. an ac-
tive Boer sympathizer Of Washington, who
has just returned here from New York
says a conference of leading pro- Beers
was held on Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day, and that the chairman of the recep-
tion committee was chosen. He will be
Consul General Pierce of the Orange Free
State, whose Office is in New York.
Mr.. Van der Hoogt said that General
Botha was permitted to communicate by
cable with Mr.. Kruger on condition that
he would try to get Mr.. Kruger to agree
to certain peace terms favorable to Great
Britain, and that the British authorities
should see the dispatches. Botha carried
out the agreement and Kruger's reply
was that independence was the first basis
OF any terms of peace.

camp at Simonstown to secure General
French's release. On these conditions the
British general was set at liberty.

Paris Exposition commission. The story
centers about A. S, Capehart of South
Dakota and Paris, one of the highest sal
aried officials Of the commission, receiving
$400 per month, who has entered upon
scheme, which, while legal in the strict
sense of the word, is sure to arouse Bit
ter and biting criticism in congress next
winter and perhaps end in an investiga-
tion.
Mr.. Capehart's scheme requires the pub
lie to buy the governments publication
of the report of the Paris commission at
more than four times its actual cost, and
the big rake off goes into his own pocket.
This would not be more than mere BUSH
ness extortion if Mr.. Capehart were not
the editor and compiler Of the report
which he offers to sell. 1t is understood
he is still drawing his $40O per month
from the government In a business cir
cular sent broadcast apparently to ex-
hibitors at the Paris Exposition, Mr..
| Capehart offers to sell full sets of the re-
port of the Paris Exposition at $40 per
set.
Capehart Explains.

edit a government boDk, proceeds to sell
that same book for his own account, Mr.
| Capehart says

considerably aboveothe average.

the probable choice
Of the New York republicans as candi-
date for the presidency next time is re-
garded here as a direct stab at Vice
President Roosevelt, also a New Yorker,
and presumably candidate for the nom

could secure the prize. In the opinion of
a majority Of republicans outside of New
York, Roosevelt is the logical favorite
son for that state, which stands no chance
of winning with anybody else. The selec-
ton Of Odell by New York in all proba-
bility would make more certain the nom
ination of some man from the middle
west, Fairbanks perhaps. In that event,
New York might consent to Odell for the
vice presidency, for it is certain that
Roosevelt would not accept a renomina-
ton.

as "a private enterprise" though he man
ages to afix the official seal to the trans
action by saying:
Having served as q member Of the COM
mittee which ct implied this report and as its
editor, It would be inappropriate for me to
comment upon its merits as publication.
There is no law preventing the sale of
government publications.. Any cabinet
officer could order extra copies Of his an
nual report and sell them to the public at
generous advance on cost, but this has
never been done, as it has never been
thought proper for a government official
to attempt to sell report he was paid
to write.

CLARK AND THE The department of
justice is desirous
LAND CASES. that the govern
ment's attitude in
the Clark prosecutions in Montana be
fully understood. Said an officer of that
department to-day:
We have no intention or thought Of perse-
cutting anybody. We have taken hold of the
cases against Senator Clark because they
were the first to be reported to US. Just as
fast as we hear of similar violations of the
stone and timber act, we propose to proceed
against the guilty parties, whether they live
in Montana or elsewhere. 1t is likely that
violations of this law have been numerous
and we want to secure evidence as rapidly as
possible against all violators. to the end that
the government may recover land which has
been illegally taken from it, and put a STOP
to this sort of lawlessness. Senator CLARK
happens to be mixed up in this first case but
that fact had nothing to do with our reaching
determination to push matters. Every vio
lator of the law who can be found is to be
prosecuted.
