MAYOR RETURNS HOME
HE WILL HAVE CONFERENCE WITH
HIS ADVISORS TO-DAY.
What He Says About the Supreme
Court Decision on Elevated
Track Ordinance.

Mayor Bookwalter reached home from
Chicago last night He attended the ses-
sion of the board of control of the Endow-
ment Rank of the knights of Pythias.
which is considering removal to Indianap-
OILS from Chicago. The session was inter-
rupted by the fire at Lebanon, which de-
stroyed property belonging TO c. F. s. Neal.
member of the board. The board will re-
convene between now and March / and de-
termine the new location The mayor
thinks Indianapolis will get the headquar-
ters.
In discussing the decision of the Supreme
Court on the elevated tracks case Mayor
Bookwalter said he would have a confer
ence to-day with the city attorney and the
Board of Public Works with reference to
the steps that should be taken.
The city should secure" said he, "as a
reserve power and rightful power that func-
ton which ii was the purpose Of the franz
ers of the charter TO empower the city with
by which the railroads may be compelled to
do something to abate the dangers of grade
crossings. L EXPECT to call on the members
of the Legislature from this county and
urge them to support law which will give
to the city full power to deal with the ques-
ton"
The mayor says the appointment of the
commission was most fortunate thing
for the city, for it secured from the rail-
roads the tentative-to use mild word
recognition of the right of the city to de-
mand relief and the need of il. The COM
missions work is now of double Importance
he said Legislation was needed to protect
the city in case the railroads might choose
to change their minds as to their course
because of the decision of the case.
The decision, he thought, should most
effectually silence the many high-minded
but overly suspicious men who charged i'm
proper motive to those who urged and con-
sented to serve on the commission. Per-
sons in judicial frame of mind could easily
see that the creation of the commission
was from the best motives

ATTORNEY GENERAL NOTIFIED.
He Is Told the Case Will BE at Once
Appealed to Supreme Court.

He Il Told the Case Will Be at Once
Appealed to Supreme Court.
Attorney General Miller was notified by
wire yesterday afternoon that the judge of
the Sullivan Circuit Court had sustained
the demurrer filed by attorneys for Sheriff
Dudley to the information in the quo war
ranto proceedings brought by Coroner Max
well. of Sullivan county. Attorneys for
Maxwell also stated in the telegram to the
attorney general that the case would be
appealed to the Supreme Court at once.
Dudley was ousted as sheriff Of Sullivan
county by Governor Durbin because he
failed to protect a negro under his care
from being lynched. Dudley was sworn in
for another term and his bond was ac-
cepted. He has refused to abide by the
decision Of Governor Durbn. According TO
the Governors ruling Coroner Maxwell is
the sheriff of Sullivan county, and Maxwell
recently instituted suit TO secure the Of
flee. 1t may be some time before the Su-
preme Court renders an opinion in the
case.
The bill recently introduced in the Senate
at the request of Attorney General Miller
provides means of quick action in just
such cases as the Sullivan county affair
The bill provides more power for the at
torney general, as is given in most of the
leading States. Under the provisions of
the bill, should ii become a law, the at
torney general would nave the power to
file information before the Supreme Court
and the case at issue could be tried at once
and a decision reached without having to
wait on the tiresome delays that follow
appeals to the Supreme Court under the
present law Such cases would be tried be-
fore an unprecedented court under Attorney
General Mllers proposed law.
A strong lobby, composed of representa-
tives of railroad companies and other cor
porationS, has appeared in the Senate to
fight the bill. Some of the lobbyists, il is
said, have made misrepresentation 10 sem
ators, hoping TO secure their support TO
defeat the bill. One senator was told that
the bill would allow an attorney general
to bring unjust suits against CORPORATIONS
One of the lobbyists against the measure
approached Attorney General Miller and
reminded him of the fact that he (Afilier)
was an attorney for some time for leading
railroad company and demanded IL the
attorney general wanted legislation that
would bring down upon him the wrath of
every railroad, trust company, bank and
other corporations in the State. Mr.. Miller
replied that he had given the railroad com
pany value received for his services and
that If any corporation was violating the
law he thought il should be brought before
a court of Justice Mr.. Miller says many
wrong impressions are being circulated
against the bill.
