The district court of Woodson county
came to an abrupt stop Tuesday, al
though there was a heavy docket be
fore it for the present term. 1t was
caused by the premature publication
of the law creating a new judicial dis
trict of Allen and WoOdSOn counties.
Judge StilweIl the present judge, is
Judge of the Seventh judicial district.
The new law makes Neosho and Will
son counties the Seventh Judicial dis
trict so his jurisdiction is cut down to
those counties. He has been hurrying
by holding night sessions to clean up
the docket before the new law took eff
/ feet. He thought he could accomplish
this by Thursday night, and arrange
ments were made that the new law
should not be published until Friday
morning But it was set up and was
inadvertently published Tuesday morn
/ ing. Consequently Judge Stilwell found
himself with no jurisdiction in Woodson
county when he tried to hold court
I Tuesday A number of criminal trials
were pending and the defendants will
ask their release on the ground that
they cannot be held over another term

WANTS BATE TO SUCCEED HIMSELF
Ex-Gov. Robert L Taylor Gives Char

He is For "The Old

Ex.Gov. Robert l.. Taylor went to
Bristol yesterday afternoon, on short
business trip. He will return today
and bring his two little sons, Bob and
David, home from their Uncle Alf's at
johnson City.
Gov. Taylor was seen at the South
ern depot before he left, by Journal
and Tribune reporter. He was sur
rounded by a party of admirers, both
democrats and republicans, and was in
the best of spirits. When asked if he
was candidate for the senate the mer-
ry ex-governor said that he was run
ming in the interest of Senator Bate.

which William Randolph Hearst do
mated to the university. 1t is well
known that Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, the
mother of representative Hearst, is
the chef benefactor of the University
of California. She was made re-
gent of the state because of he'll mu-
nifcent donations to this institution.
For four years she has devoted her
self exclusively to this seat of learn
ing. She began by announcing a
worldwide competition for the uni
versity plans and these plans alone
cost ultimately 100000. Her total
contributions are said to aggregate ST.,
600, 900.
President Wheeler on the occasion
of the dedication ceremonies read the
names of all the donors except those
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hearst. The Cali
fornia press and Californians generally
were indignant at this omission. No
one could understand why the names
OF the chef benefactors of the UNIVERSE
ty should be omitted when the names
of persons contributing comparatively
small amounts were read. More than
5000 persons were said to be present
in the amphitheater when the exer-
cises occurred and President Wheeler
did not mention the name of Hearst,
presumably, because he feared there
would be great popular demonstra-
ton on the part of the audience and
this demonstration on the part of the
audience, it is assured, would have
been annoying to President Roosevelt.
The latest news, therefore, that
President Wheeler was a guest at the
White House for three days and is
now mentioned as the one likely to be
appointed as Minister to The Hague, is
attracting general attention. Is Presi-
dent Wheeler now receiving his re-
ward for suppressing the name of
Hearst? Is he to be sent to The
Hague as an evidence of the fact that
the President is grateful to him for
failing to mention the family name
that in California is revered and es-
teemed?
But after all, the main questions
are: Why did President Wheeler fail
to mention the name Of Hearst at the
dedication ceremonies? Did President
Roosevelt request President Wheeler
to ignore the names? If so why should
