THEY ONLY LOST ONE
CHATHAM DELEGATION WAS Sue
CESsFUL WITH LOCAL BILLS.
CONVICT BILL A LOSER,
HUT REPRESENTATIVE NEVER
EXPECTED TO HAVE 1T PASSED.

Bills Giving the Recorder the Right
fuse to Take Out Licenses and
Those Who Sell on Sunday Are on
the Table and VIII Come Up ut
Next SessiOn-Tbey Were Crowded
Over-Chatham'S Delegation, How
ever, Got Everything Else
Through.
Although a number of local measures
were introduced during the session of
the Legislature just ended. only one
was defeated and only two remain on
the table. The Chatham delegation
worked hard and with a single excep-
ton pushed every measure that it
fathered through both houses and up
to the Governor.
The bill introduced with a view to
preventing the leasing of convicts to
the MillHaven Company, or to any
other concern in the vicinity of city,
was overwhelmingly defeated. Repre-
sentative Cam realized when he Of
fered the measure for passage that he
had no chance of ever getting it
through both houses. The committee
to which the bill was referred decided
that 1t was unconstitutional, but out
side of this phase of the question the
bill at no time had any chance for
success.
The two bills now on the table and
that will be taken up at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature, were drawn up
by the city attorney and were intro
duced at the request of City Council
One gives the Recorder the power to
punish those who fail to take out
liquor licenses and the other gives him
the right to punish those who sell
liquor on Sunday. AS the law now
stands the Recorder has no right to
punish in either case and can only re-
mand for trial in the City Court. There
will be no trouble in getting both of
these bills through at the next session.
The measures that were passed be-
cause of the activity of the Chatham
delegation were the marine hospital site
cession bill, the bill changing the time
for electing city officers, the town of
Warsaw bill, the act to increase the
pay of deputy sheriffs, measure en-
towering the clerk of the City Court
to appoint lawful deputies, and the act
that provides that any alderman may
in the absence of the Recorder preside
in Police Court. All of these matters
were pushed through and the represen-
tatives from this county had to work
to accomplish their purposes.

MAMIE DECRIS' MIND
DOCTORS TRYING TO DETERMINE
WHETHER BRAIN OF DIAMOND
QUEEN" Is DISEASED.
WATCHING HER IN JAIL.
WILL REPORT TO THE ORDINARY
SOME TIME THIS WEEK.

The Investigation Ordered by Solicit
tor General OsbOrne-Drs. Latti-

Called to See the Woman But Their

Think There Is Amy Doubt of Her
Sanity She VIII BE Tried by Luz
macy Jury.
By order of the prosecution. the
mental soundness of Mamie DeCris is
being examined into by physicians APP
pointed by Solicitor General Osborne.
1t is the intention of the prosecution
to learn definitely of the woman's con-
dition of mind before the matter is
brought to the attention of the grand
jury.
DR.. Ralston baltimore and DR.. A. b.
Simmons visited the Jail yesterday
morning and talked with the prisoner.
they will call on her twice this week
and will. after their third visit, report
the result of their investigation 10 the
solicitor general and to Judge Meal
pin.
The physicians declined to discuss
the matter, and would say nothing re-
garding the result of their first visit.
They did not state the object of their
visit and endeavored to keep the pris-
oner from discovering their mission.
Since the Incarceration of the Di-
almond Queen. quite number OF
physicians have called at her cell. None
of them have diagnosed the case. their
visits being prompted mainly by Gu
riosity. One of them, after short talk
with the woman, gave it as his opinion
that she is sane, but he qualified the
statement by adding that his cursory
observations did not enable him to ar
rive at a conviction.
If, in the opinion of the physicians
who are now inquiring into her mental
condition, there is any doubt of the
woman's sanity, the prosecution will
be dropped, and the woman Will be
tried before lunacy jury in the Court
OF Ordinary, under the warrant sworn
out by her mother some time ago.
If they report that the woman is sane
the case will, in all probability, be
brought before the grand jury at it's
next session. The warrant against the
woman for obtaining goods under false
writing, will be presented, and 1t will
be up to the jury to decide what course
to pursue.
The report of Drs. baltimore and
Simmons will probably not be made
until the end of the week. Judge Me
Alpin will not be in the city this week,
and it is important, in the event that
the physicians find that the woman is
a fit subject for a lunacy jury, that he
be here to receive their report.

put off the performance of some OBJ
vious and manifest duty. until the de-
cree has gone forth that it is too

that we can make sure of. The future
with all the various possibilities that
it embraces, may not be for US, because
death may step in to rob us of all OPP

to the present moment. This being the
case, it is very clear that if a man
recognizes a certain duty as being i'm
perative upon him, his only safety lies
in attending to it at once.
Grasp the opportunity while you
may. While the free breezes are blow

lows success. and everything promises
golden harvest, then is it eminently
proper time for you to barrel up some
