Judge John W. Mason and the re
nainder OF the circuit court received
a very chilly reception Tuesday morn
ing. They found the atmosphere too
cold 20 do business and adjourned the
coart without organizing until
O'Clock In the afternoon, at which
time the grand jury was called to the
box and formed. he then adjourned
them until o o'clock next morning to
deliver the charge. The cause OF the
Inconvenience was that the gas in the
home company's pipe on Court street
went or at 8 o'clock and refused to
operate. BY diligent effort the defect
was found in joint, where the pipe
extends from Main street and az 2
O'Clock or shortly afterward the repair
was made. In some manner dirt had
gotten through the joint and stopped
up the pipe.
The following are the members of
the grand jury:
L. l.. Lang. foreman; Camden Som
mers. George II. Berry. A. W. Davis
John w FIX, E. X Stout, Lindsey
Jett, A. NJ. Ritter, John Ruckman,
W. r. Weekly, A. ]. Watson, r. b.
Swiger, George R. Fortney, L. S. Har-
bert, j.. NJ. Cochran and A. J..
Michael.
They are representative citizens Of
the county and a splendid selection
for grand jury, is our honest opinion.
Unusual interest was manifested in
the charge Judge John w. Mason de-
livered Wednesday morning to the
grand jury, and the court house was
packed with auditors.
The charge was elaborate, able and
rigid. The Court went into detail on
several OF the more important subjects
and left nothing .unsaid which would
be OF service to that body in the proper
discharge OF its duty.
In opening, Judge Mason called at
tention to the duty required Of him in
delivering charge, which in reality is
a brief outline of duties required OF
the grand jury by law. He told them
that the duties involved upon them
were important and quite unpleasant
but not difiicuit TO understand. ..You
have no authority except that given
you by law. II Is mistake that the
grand jury has large discretionary
overs. Your finding must simply be

Plan to Divert Routine Traffic Over
Eads Bridge, Leaving Belt
Line Clear.
AVOID USING THE TUNNEL.
Worlds Fair Trains Will Take
Elevated Tracks From Mer.
chants Bridge and Proceed
Without Interruption.

In answer to the contention made by those
opposed TO the loop ordinance introduced In
the City Council by the Terminal Associa-
ton, on the ground that it is not necessary
for the Worlds Fair traffic officials Of the
association claim that 1t is necessary for
several reasons.
The chief reason given Is that under the
plan of running shuttle trains on the
double track Belt Line which will partly
and in conjunction with the Wabash en-
tirely encircle the city. it will be absolutely
necessary TO keep the elevated tracks clear
o: all other traftic save the Worlds Fair
trains If the schedule proposed is carried
out.
The elevated loop is to be built from Eads
bridge parallel with the elevated tracks
running 2,l00 feet west.
Eads bridge tracks are nearly twenty-one
feet above the elevated tracks ana the loop
is 10 have gradual descent until 1t
Under the present condition passenger
trains are sent over the Eads bridge
through the much-reviled tunnel into Union
Station.
Other trains coming over the Merchants
bridge continue down the elevated tracks
10 the station.
BY, the loop 1t is proposed to divert all
away from the Merchants bridge, using
the Merchants only for scheduled World
Fair trains, which will make the trip

ger trains, IL sent over the Eads bridge.
will have TO go through the tunnel. and II
constant source of delay and annoyance to
the fast Belt Line trains, so much SO tina:
II IS claimed they cannot be rum.
The other alternative is to send all the
Eads bridge, through. the tunnel, which is
also said to be out OF the question.
