Ten Joint Cases Thrown Out Of
District Court.
Action Due to Technical Defects
in the Appeals.
OF JUDGE.
Failed to Make transcripts and
Complaints Agree.
City Attorney Spencer Asks
Time to Examine the Papers.

Ten whisky cases were thrown out
OF district court this morning in less
than an hour. This was due to dis
covery made by Attorney Otis Hun
gate and submitted to the court by At
torney David Gregg.
The point raised. and sustained by
Judge Hazen, was the deficiency in the
transcript from the police court, which
in none of the cases agreed with the
original complaint For instance, in the
case of James Inman he was found
guilty in police court of maintaining
nuisance on the second count. but the
transcript reads: Guilty Of maintaining
a nuisance on the fourth count
Nine of the ten cases docketed for to-
day We're thrown out for this reason.
The police court convictions are prac-
tically an aequittal owing to the care
leSsness of ex-Police Judge F. P Lind
say. The tenth case was that against
Mike Thompson and Bob Shelby. The
complaint accompanying the transcript
was practically blank, Chief Stahl hav-
ing forgotten to fill it out, and the court
promptly quashed the worthless COM
plant.
The jointists who escaped through the
negligence OF the former police judge
were Frank Raynor, Nick Chiles, ]. In
man. Bee Adams. Mack Watson, W.
kiley, 9. Lawson Dan Finney and
Thompson ct al. The cases went by the
board as fast as they were called. None
of them lasted long enough for an ar
gument
Judge Hazen said that the questions
must be tried upon the record, and not
outside evidence. and that a failure to
mention a count in the transcript was q
practical acquittal on that count. He
read some laws and decisions to show
that his action in so dispcsing of the
cases was right L am sorry to see all
these cases going this way, but it is not
the fault of this court he said in con-
clusion.
The name of L S. Calkins, Stahrs IA
Vorite spOtter. is a sure acGUittal when
seen on a complaint. He cannot be
found by the prosecution, and it is pos
sible that he has been purchased by the
jointists.
The jury was excused until o'clock
time City Attorney Spencer will look
over the rest of the complaints and
transcripts, and where the same error
is to be found will dismiss the cases. 1t
is a waste of time trying to secure a
conviction on the worthless papers in
herited from police court during the
reign of Stahl and Lindsay Mr.. Stahl
can not be held responsible for the fail
ure of his cases. He did his part and is
not expected to be lawyer enough to ar
range the transcripts for filing with the
district court Judge Lindsay had
plenty of assistance with his work He
had an able stenographer. and Officer
Goff was frequently detailed to assist
but he spent very little time with them,
and neglected his business. The joint
lists should tender Judge Lindsay the
prohibition police judge, a vote of
thanks for letting them escape.

CABLE IN ST. LOUIS.
Is Inspecting Rock Island Ter
minal Facilities.

St Louis. No. May 22.-R. R. Gable,
chairman of the executive board of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail-
road, arrived in st. Louis today, ac-
companied by General Manager Good
now and other officials of the road.
After a trip to the worlds fair site, w.
S McChesney, general manager of the
Terminal assoc1a ton. took the party on
special train to inspect the terminal
facilities on both sides of the river
Mr.. Gable would not discuss his mis-
sion in St Louis other than to say
that the Rock Island wanted to get its
trains in here and was doing every
thing to bring about this result. He
hoped to make satisfactory arrange
ments with the terminal association as
speedily as possible.
From other sources comes the state
ment that the Rock Island intends
building new passenger depot to be
entirely distinct from the Union sta
ton and that a deal was now being
considered with the Burlington road for
the purchase of an option which the
latter company holds on the property at
Nineteenth and Washington avenues.
This is the only logical conclusion to
be drawn, railroad men say, from the
purchase by the Rock Island of the
extensive Virgins Ferry properties and
the Colorado railroad.

CUTS OUT TOBACCO.
Chicago and Northwestern For
bids Employees to Use Weed.

Chicago. May 22--Ofieials of the Chi
cago & Northwestern road have begun
a campaign against the use OF tobacco
in any form by employees of the pas
senger department while on duty. In
the new book of operating rules which
los just gone into effect over the entire
Northwestern system are several gen
eral rules of conduct. Among the lat
rev is the following:
The use OF tobacco by employees when
on duty in or about passenger stations
or on passenger cars is prohibited"
The mana cement also has taboOed
loose pecuniary practices. Rule N says:
An assignment of wages by an en-
ploye Is prohibited and will be cause
for dismissal"
This is followed by rule n. which pro-
vides that lit will be cause for dis
missal OF that eTnploye who has twice
subjected this company to the service
of a garnishment order on his pay"
Rules of the most stringent kind are
also incorporated against the use OF in
toxicants or the frequenting of places
where they are sold. An employe who
does either is liable to immediate dis
