THE REDlsTRIcTlNG LAW.
Lusk Writes of Power of Circuit Judge

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In reply to your letter of May which
is as follows:
birmingham Ala, May 4 1904.
Hon. John A. Lusll,
MY Dear Sir: There is no little agta-
tion over the proposition In your reds-
tricting bill giving the circuit judges
power to call a special term Of the court,
denying the power to the governor,
"Will you not write for publication a
story of the matter with all attendant
circumstances, and oblige
Very truly yohrs.
&c. w. BARRETT"
I beg to say that | know of no story
connected with the matter further than
that prior to the meeting of the legisla-
ture there was a general admission of the
further mower to the courts to convene
themselves in cases of emergency The
statutes then existing were entirely mad

quently arise. and in order to meet this
absence of authority and provide way
whereby courts could be easily convened
and provide further relief the bill known
as the "I.usk Redstricting BIZ was
framed and passed. Section 9li of the
code as amended by this bill reads as
follows:
whenever in the opinion of the judge
of the circuit court. whether in term time
or vacation, an adjourned or special term
of the circuit court IN any county Of the
circuit of which he is judge Is necessary.
he may by an order signed by him and

TRACE OF MRS. JOHN C. BURNS
Negro Arrested in Cincinnati With
Some of the Missing Chicago
WOman's JeweIry.

Chicago, April 3.-The first trace Of
Mrs. John c. Burns since her disap-
pearance from a Chicago hotel two
years ago was found Saturday, when
James Taylor, a negro, was arrested at
Cincinnati. He had in his possession
Mrs. Burns Daughter of the Revolution
pin, engraved with her name, as well
as several articles of jewelry, of which
bore her initials. The prisoner is said
to have disclosed the hiding places of
other jewels, which are alleged to have
been h property of Mrs. Burns. The
total value of the property recovered is
nearly $4,000.
About two years Mrs. Burns an
nounced that she was going away on a
short visit. Her husband was believed
to be in Europe. Taking several trunks
but leaving many Of her belongings in
her rooms, Mrs. Burns left the hotel.

THE ST. LOUIS GRAND JURY
The Principal Recommendation
Made is the Elimination of the
Police From Politics.

St. Louis. April 2.-The February
grand jury, in its final report to Judge
Taylor, suggests to Gov. Dockery that
a ~non-partisan board of police com-
missione"s be appointed, with a view
to the removal of the police force from
politics. Following are extracts from
the report:
The personnel of our police force is
excellent, and when political consider
atoms are not involved they are most
efficient. Examples of their self-con-
troll, bravery and heroism have been
placed before us, challenging our high
est admiration, and their disassOcta-
ton from politics would make them in
ferior to none; and we can not too
strongly recommend to the governor Of
the state that this be done.
1--WE lean to the theory that policing
is a function of the state and that
power to control should be lodged with
the governor, but We do strongly be-
lieve, for the best interest of the city,
in the exercise of that power through
the police board, partizan political in
fuence should be entirely eliminated,
and this can only be done through a
non-partizan board Of police commits
sioners.
1T is of the greatest Importance for
the welfare of the city that our gov
ernor 10 this at once and make tbs
necessary changes in the present
board, as the Worlds fair is to BIZ
opened shortly and the strain on the
police force will be greater than it ha!
ever been.
at would simplify the conduct o
municipal affairs if there were but ont
large legislative body Of from forty tt
sixty members, instead of two bodies
as now is the case in this city. Our cit.
should be run as a large corporation /
run-upon business principles and en-
tirely removed from the domain o

THE WORLDS FAIR OPENING
Programme of Proceedings, April
80, as Decided Upon.
Sousa's and Wells bands, a Nam.
moth Chorus and Speech-Mnk-
ing the Features.

st. Louis, April 1.-THE official pro-
gramme for the opening exercises OF
the Worlds fair, April so, is now COM
plete, and will be announced as soon
as the executive committee passes
upon it. After much discussion back
and forth between the officials the
programme was finally turned over to
secretary Stevens and Col. E. c. Culp,
secretary of the committee on cere-
monies, who added the finishing
touches.
The musical part of the exercises
was unsettled until Thursday night,
owing to the change from first ideas
oy making the exercises an outdoor
observance entirely. Prof. Ernest R.
Hroeger OF the bureau of music col
erred with members of the Choral
Symphony society at the Odeon and
secured definitely their promise to
participate in the chorus. The Morn
ing Choral society and the Apollo club
will also take part. The combined
strength of these organizations will
insure a chorus of $50 voices, com
posed of the best musical talent ik
| St. Louis, under the direction of Prof.
Alfred Ernst. The chorus will sing
the Exposition hymn, Hymn of the
West" written by Edmund Clarence
Stedman.
The exercises will be held in the
Plaza of st. Louis, the temporary
stand for the speakers, singers, Off
Gals and guests facing north with the
Louisiana monument as a background,
The programme will be opened by
Sousa's and Wells bands. The open.
ing number will be the Louisiana
march, composed by Frank Van der
Stucken, of Cincinnati. The compo-
ser will conduct his march, which will
be heard for the first time. The &C.
~ceptance from Mr.. Van der Stucken
has been received.
The second number will be the in
vocation by Rev. Frank W. G%unsaulus,
of Chicago. Following this President
Francis will receive the keys of the
exposition from Director Isaac S. Tay-
lor and deliver them to Director Skiff.
Four speakers will follow President
Francis, the representive of President
Roosevelt leading, those selected by
the foreign commissioners and the
state commissioners coming next. All
but one of the speakers have been
decided upon, but the announcement
Of names is withheld.
The speeches will conclude just be-
fore noon, when the band will play the
Star Spangled Banner as a prelude
to the opening of the exposition by
President Roosevelt, who, from the
White House in Washington, will
touch the button that is to release the

THE C0PLEY, CALv
TRAIN ROBBERY
Express Messenger 0'Neill Lost His
Life Rather Than Submit.
THE EXPRESSSAFE WAS BLOWN
1obbers Compelled the Engineer to
Rum His Engine, With Them on
Board to Ixeswick, where
They Dropped on.

Sacramento. Cal, April 2.-Just be-
fore IL o'clock Thursday night. as the
s%outh-bound train reached Copley, near
heswick, three men jumped the train
and cut the train in two, taking the
engine and express car down the track
a short distance. They stopped the en-
CINE and demanded that Messenger
O'Neill open the express car. He re-
fused, whereupon they deliberately
killed him by shooting him through
the head. The bandits then blew up
and robbed the express car of its con-
tents, but it is not known how much
they got.
After robbing the express car the
men cut the car loose, and, getting on
the engine, compelled Engineer joe
sink to go ahead. When near Keswick
the men dropped off the engine and
disappeared in the night with their
plumber.
There were two safes in the Car, a
heavy through safe and a smaller To-
cal safe. The local safe was blown to
atoms, and the top Of the through safe
was blown off. Tiny pieces of green
backs and twisted coins covered the
floor. 1t is certain that the robbers did
not get a great amount of plumber, al
though their laundering work may
have destroyed thousands of dollars
