JURISDICTION NOT LIMITED.
Civil Judge May Sit in Hearing
of Criminal Cases.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL


Jefferson City. Mo. Aug. 5.-An appiica-
ton for a writ OF prohibition, raising a
new and important point in legal practice
IN the State. was denied by Judge W. c.
Marshall OF the Missouri Supreme Court
to-day. when he refused to issue an order
restra ming Judge Samuel Davis of Saline
County from sitting as Judge in ST. Fran
co.'s County in a murder case.
Objection was raised by the attorneys
that Judge Davis did not have Jurisdiction,
since in his own district he was Circuit
Judge only OF the civil division. a separate
criminal division OF the court having been
established in Saline. In St Francois
County both civil and criminal cases are
argued before the same Judge.
Judge Marshall called in Judges Fox
and Robinson to SIT with him at the hear
ing, and the majority decision was that
Judge Davis had power to sit special
Judge In the 81. Francois County case.

Little Folks Were Seen at Miss
Suits Midwinter Soiree.
The midwinter soiree of Miss stults'
dancing class drew a large number OF
interested relatives and admiring
friends to the Guards Armory last
evening. The affair was an unusually
pretty one and the fancy dances were
wonderfully we'll done by the little
people who were down for special parts
on the programme.
Among the very little folks, there
was a captivating FAIRY Dance" by
Miss Yettie Mirsky spirited Military
Dance" by Miss Ruth Morrison, and
song and dance by diminutive Miss
Georgia Dickinson. whose naivete was
altogether charming. and who not only
sang clearly but went through her steps
with wonderful precision.
Somewhat older, perhaps, but not
much taller, was Miss Pauline Gard
ner, who did the Cachuca very cleverly.
Another very little dancer was Miss
Doris Lyon, who was a quaint figure,
dressed to represent a hollyhock. Miss
Freda Wolfson sang "Sly Musette" and
danced with much grace.
Miss Ethel Guckenheiner, another
very young lady, gave a charming song
and dance, and MISS Mildred quicken
heimer contributed to the programme a
song and two dances that were among
the best numbers. These two talented
little sisters were graceful and attrac-
tive figures on the floor, and were
warmly applauded.
The Bohemian Dance by Miss Sadie
Sheftall, and the Flower Dance by Miss
Annie Jones, were both particularly
good numbers and the Spanish Bolero
by Miss Dolores Levy one Of the best
There was nothing prettier on the
programme than the Dance Graciosa
by Miss Riette Levy, whose natural
grace and lightness of movement were
especially well suited to the steps.
Miss Alice Battey, all dressed in
green, with a wreath of white flowers
in her hair, was seen In pretty scarf
dance.
There were some good numbers by
boys, a sailors hornpipe by Solomon
Sheftall and a song and dance by

COLLEGE AFFAIRS
TO BE DISCUSSED.
Committee of shorter College to
Meet In Rome Tuesday.

Committee of shorter College TO
Meet In Rome Tuesday.
Important matters affecting the flu
ture of Shorter College, Rome, will be
discussed at a meeting of a. commit
tee, which will be held in Rome Tues
day. One member of this committee,
which consists of five persons. is Rev.
DR.. ]. d. Jordan, who will leave Mon
day, making short stop in Atlanta
en- route.
One of the questions to be discussed
is whether the college shall be con-
tinued under the present management
that is whether it shall be practical
ly leased to the president in whom
will be vested the right to elect the
members of the faculty, and who is
also responsible for the financial
showing--or whether the trustees shall
take over the active management of
the college, elect the faculty them
selves and assume the responsibility
of the financial management as well.
The committee will also be called on
to consider the curriculum for the
coming year. DIR. Jordan, is in favor,
under existing conditions, of contin-
uing the present arrangement. He
says the college is full to overlooking,
and another dormitory should be built
for the accommodation of the pupils.
An agent has been appointed to raise
the necessary money for this purpose,
but he will not be able to start can
vass of the state until after July !.
He has been limited to that time in
order not to interfere with the effort
that is being made by Monroe Col
Iege to raise money for similar pur-
poses. With the new building added
to Shorter College it is possible that
new arrangement of the management
may be decided on.
