FARR V. THE STATE

Application for Habeas Corpus.-Ap ppeal
 from an order of the Probate Judge
 of Geneva.
 1. Habeas corpus; when presioner not entitled to discharge upon a preliminary examination. one charged with the offense of murder Is committed to the custody of t;le sheriff under q init timus commanding that he be detained until legally discharged, and while he is so detained in custody the time for hold ing regular term of the Circuit Court passes, without the court being held and without any order being made upon the records or the grand or petit jury being organized, such failure to hold the court does not amount to a discontinuance of the prosecution against the prisoner in custody, and he is not entitled to be dis- charged.
 g. Discontinuance of prosecution; when not shown to exist-The failure of q Cir cult Court to hold a regular term of the court and the consequent failure to en- ter upon the minutes of the court an or der continuing the cases not otherwise disposed of. do not work a discontin- uance of a criminal prosecution pending In said court; and this principle applies to a prosecution pending against one charged with murder, and who Is in the custody of the sheriff under a mittimus issued on a preliminary examination.

LAYTON IN EARNEST
HIS PLAN TO DISCUSS RACE
 PROBLEM. .:~
Wisconsin Newspaper Man Says Senator Who Introduced Matter to Legislature is Leading
 Man of That State.

G. E. Vandercook, staff correspondent of The Milwaukee Sentinel, who has been making an extended trip through the South in the interest of his paper, and has been in Montgomery for several days, said last night that he felt sure deep earnest ness was behind the movement started in the Wisconsin Legislature to call a con vention to discuss the race problem.
 Speaking of the Associated Press dis patch from Madison, Wisconsin, publish ed by The Advertiser yesterday morning. conveying the information that the Wis consin Legislature was about to pass resolution calling upon the Governors of the different States to appoint delegates to meet at Atlanta on July 4th, to con- sider matters pertaining to the race prob lem, MT. Vandercook said:
 Senator w. II. Hatton, the mayor of the resolution Is one of the leading mem bers of the Wisconsin Legislature. He Is deeply interested in all economic prob lems whatever their nature. He Is wealthy lumberman and manufacturer and in all respects he is representative | man. In educational matters Senator | Hatton has been exceedingly active for many years, and In asking for the ap- pointment of a conference, at this time, | the Senator is no doubt inspired by the | very highest motives.
 | By some II may Dc tHOuBHt pcoPio | in the North, in interesting themselves in | problems which pertain more particularly | to the South, are unnecessarily meddling l with matters which do not immediately | concern them or about which they neces-
 sarily must have little or no knowledge. | This I am sure Is not so in Senator Hat | tons case, for he is a closo student of | conditions, educationally and industrial ly, all over the United States, and his | interest manifests itself in very practical l ways AS a business man and one of the largest employers of labor we have In
 Wisconsin, he Is one of those practical | sort of men who Is not very apt to be
 carried away by theories or mere senti- | ment.
 During past years I have been closely | associated with him in matters of leglsla- ton and can say that he only interests | himself in measures of the highest char
 acter tending to the educational and in- dustrial upbuilding of our State.
 ''If the plan proposed by Senator Hatton should be adopted and the conference fall
 in all other respects. 1t would neverthe-
 less give many Northern men clearer
 insight into conditions as they actually
 exist in the South, and in this respect
 make them more capable as well as com-
 petent Judges when questions pertaining
 to the negro problem come up. Senator
 Hatton no doubts takes this view, and
 in conformity with 1t, started the move l ment in Wisconsin" "

SCoURING YOUR SCALP
Will Remove the Loose Dandrutf Scales, But It Won't Cure
 Dandruff

If your hair Is brittle and thinning. you have dandruff The mere securing of the scalp of the loose scales won't cure dandruff. because dandruff is nothing but scales of scalp being thrown up by a pes tiferous little germ in burrowng it's way to the root of the hair where 1t saps the vitality causing falling hair and in time badness. Now yoI cant stop dandruff
 nor falling hair. nor prevent badness un- less you destroy that germ; and the only preparation that can do il Is the new sci entifc discovery, Newbro's Herpicide. In fact no other hair preparation claims to kill the dandruff germ-all of them will clean the scalp; soap and water will do that. but only Newbros Herpcde gets at the root of the trouble and kills the dan drufr germ.
