MATTER FOR
STATE COURT
CITY POWERLESs TO PROSE
CUTE MRS. NATION.
.IMPRoMPTu SONG SERVICE
Saloon Wreckers Celebrate Dismis-
sal of Charges Against
Their Leader.
IMPRoMPTU SONG SERVICE

Topeka, Kan, Feb. City Attor-
ney Gregg today dismissed the charge
held against Mrs. Nation for smashing
the Senate saloon Tuesday. He threw
all the responsibility for prosecuting
the crusader on the state and said:
"Ihe city has no city ordinance cover
ing the destruction of personal prop
erty, but under the laws of Kansas
the state can prosecute Mrs. Nation if
what she did can be proved to be
personal property The city counselor
and attorney employed to prosecute
Mrs. Nation in the state courts had,
he continued, sustained his view that
she could not be legally prosecuted by
the city, and he, therefore, announced
the dismissal of the case.
Mrs. Nation, who was sitting at a
table in front of the police judges
desk, cried: "Amen. Thank you,
Mr.. GREGG; I always said you had too
good face to be on the side of sin. !"
Then rising in her seat and turning
about so she could face the women
who had crowded the courtroom, Mrs
Nation began to sing 'praise God
from Whom all blessings flow" Her
followers took up the strain and the
court room was temporarily turned
into a praise meeting.
Judge Magraw commanded that the
disturbance cease, but Chief of Police
Stahl, who has openly favored Mrs.
Nations work, interrupted with Go
ahead, ladies, and sing all you want
to, ]" and they did, breaking out with
even greater vigor with the words,
"God be with you till we meet
again. Unable to continue bust
ness, the court adjourned and Judge
Magraw left the building.
Mrs. Nation, the song service final
ly ended, took Chief Stahl to task for
not destroying the liquors seized by
his men in raiding the saloons, but
soon went out, followed by her band.
Later she went to the high school, and
by invitation addressed the pupils.
The senior class adopted resolutions
commencing her work, and Mrs. Ma
tion was handed pass to the senate
chamber, sent her by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Richter.

INVASION OF RIGHTS
House Resents Senate's Action
in Passing New War.
Revenue Bill.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The republican
mem bers of the house ways and means
committee held meeting this after.
noon to formulate plan of action
relative to the war revenue bill, but
no definite conclusion was reached be.
yond the decision of non concurrence
in the senate amendments.
The action of the senate in substi-
tuting an entirely new bill for the bill
as it passed the house is looked upon
as distinct invasion of the preroga-
tive of the house to initiate revenue
legislation and at the meeting today
some of the mem bers favored radical
action to sustain what they consider
the constitutional rights of the house
to originate revenue legislation.
One plan suggested was to ignore
the bill in it's present amended form
and then pass another entirely new
revenue bill, but this was regarded as
entirely too radical. Another PROPOSE
tion and the one meeting with the
most favor was to report back the bill
to the house tomorrow with recon-
mendation of non-conurrence, but
without request for conference.
This would require the senate to ask
for conference if any was to be held.
There was little or no consideration
of the senate schedules of the senate
bill, the whole time practically being
spent in the consideration of form of
procedure. A meeting of the full ways
and means committee will be held at
the conclusion of the conference of
the republican members tomorrow.

is REPORTED OFFICIALLY.
Invasion by DeWet Has Not Yet
Materialized.

Capetown, Feb. An official re-
port on the invasion says: The an
ticipated invasion by Christian DeWet
has not yet occurred, but it may be
only delayed. Although there is no
considerable movement, small bodies
of men continue to dribble across
Orange river. The largest Of these,
200 strong, crossed near Bangor sta
tion, five days ago.
The report then gives elaborate de-
tails regarding the present disposition
Of Beers and British in Cape Colony.
1t is announced here that the imperial
government will advance 100, 600
pounds for the relief of distressed ref
ugees.

q TOTAL OF nine, completed Jhe day 8
work.
Charles S. Raymond, the second
juror selected, became faint in the
jury box and it was thought that his
indisposition might cause him to re-
tire. Last night he was feverish.
Three weeks ago he recovered from
a serious illness, but he was thought
to have fully recovered when called on
this case. If his condition should
prove serious tomorrow it is probable
that he will be excused before draw
ing of the jurors is complete. Should
he collapse after it's completion there
would be a serious delay in the trial.
Neither side seems to have any
fondness for undertakers, butchers or
tombstone manufacturers as jurymen.
Charles R. Sewell, who is in the
tom bstone business, was challenged
by the defenes and the challenge found
prompt admission from the state.
Charles B. Adler, butcher, was chal-
lenged and released in the same way.

Columbus, Feb. THE action of
the state emergency board in voting
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
expense of troops to stop the Cincin-

here. It is held that there were sew
eral Irregularities in the action which

by the board. However, it is claimed
that the governor could override the
injunction by declaring martial law in
