Two Presidential Proclamations.

Railroad development seems greatly
to have impressed President Johnson.
for in his third proclamation for the
last Thursday of November, he said:
He has permitted us to multiply our
ships upon our lakes and rivers and
upon the high seas, and at the same
time to extend our iron roads so far
into the secluded places of the CONT
nent as to guarantee speedy overland
Intercourse between the two oceans"
President Grants proclamations
contained nothing out of the ordinary.
except that in one year, Nov. 1S-not
the last Thursday-was made the hol
iday, and he also issued a proclama.

anniversary of the nations birth.

How Cork Was Liberated.

The mystery surrounding the release
from Jail of Maxim Gorki, who was ar
rested in st. Petersburg as revolu-
ZIONIST, is cleared. The novelist owes
his liberty to Count Witte, president of
the council of ministers, who drew up
report in which the following
passage occurs: "A severe sentence of
long Imprisonment might deprive the
world and Russia of a creative genius
from whom great things may yet be
expected. The unprecedented sympa-
thy of which he is the object is proof
of the attention with which the intel
lectual world follows the development
of Russia. and of the regard which is
felt for the Russian writer outside of
his own country"

Horseflesh Eaten in Germany.

There is in Greifswalder street, Ber.
lin, regularly installed horse slaugh-
ter house, which is under careful su-
pervision. Estimating that an average
size horse will yield $50 pounds of edi-
BILE flesh, there was derived from this
source last year, says the United
States consul at Berlin, 3,990,000
pounds of meat, which was sold for
consumption in siXty-four shops which
are specially licensed for that purpose.
AT Breslau, which has a population of
about 100000, against the 100000 in
Berlin and its suburbs, $500 horses
were killed last year for human food,
so that the proportion of horsefesh
eaten per capita was much larger in
Breslau than in Berlin. In southern
Germany, and notably in Saxony,
where the percentage of working peo-
pie in manufacturing districts is eXcep-
tionally large, the consumption Of
horsetiesh is still greater and is con-
stantly increasing. The choicest cuts
of horse meat sell in Berlin for from
35 to 40 pfennigs (4d. to SD a pound.

BAKER DISPELS

Newly Acquired Husband
SUES FOR BIG DAMAGES
Demurrer to Complaint Is
Argued and Submitted to.
Hebbard for Decision

Judge Hebbard has taken under ad-
visement q demurrer to the complaint
of Mary Anne Morrison for Judgment
for S25,000 damages against her aunt,
Mrs. Ann Shannon-Schroeter, for
breach of contract.
During the argument on the demur-
rer it developed that Ferdinand
Schroeder, formerly a baker on a
transport, aged 80 years, had dis
placed Miss Morrison in the household
at 1921 Sutter street, Schroeder now
being the husband of the young wom-
ans aunt, whose years number 61.
1t is because Schroeder has displaced
her that Miss Morrison demands dam
ages, for, she says, her aunt brought
her here from Ballymore, County Sill
go, Ireland, to dispel the aged wom-
ans loneliness and promised to make
her sole heir to an estate valued at
$4,000.
On January 26 last Schroeder we'd
ded Mrs. Shannon and then there was
no room in the household for Miss
Morrison. One day, without notice,
she was told to go and she was COM
PEELED to obey. Being thousands of
miles from home and without means,
she was compelled to go to work as
a domestic to maintain herself. Then
she sought a lawyer, with the result
that Mrs. Shannon is now fighting in
the courts to save her fortune for her
enjoyment during the few years that
remain to her and after that for the
enjoyment of her youthful husband.

COURTS ANGER
IS MANIFESTED
Judge Hebbard Refuses to
Hear Cases Involving En-
try to Notorious Resorts
MOTION IS THE CAUSE
Byington Asks That Other
Jurists Be Called In and
His Action Is Resented

Angered at the temerity of District
Attorney ByingtOn in moving that the
Presiding Judge appoint two Judges tl
sit with Judge Hebbard in the trial OF
actions brought by the keepers of no.
torious resorts to deprive the police OF
the right OF entry. the iurist, who feels
reflection has been cast on him, has
thrown all OF the cases out of his court
with the demand that they be assigned
elsewhere for trial.
Hebbard, while agreeing that the
motion on its face was not improper.
holds that the District Attorney
should have requested him to select
associates TO sit with him In bank in
stead of moving that Presiding Judge
Lawlor be called upon to appoint
them, as no veiled imputation would
have been included in the former re-
quest.
When court convened yesterday
morning Byington presented a written
motion for the appointment of q court
of three to sit at the hearing of the
cases of Ravini. Moran and Male
nolre against the nolice.
The proposed order read as follows:
The defendants move that the presiding
Judge be requested to appoint two other
Judges OF the court to sit with your Honor to
The same points will arise during the hearinr
OF these cases as were involved in the order to
show cause in the case of Ravfni In other
cases involving the same points as have arisen
on this order to show cause Judges SeawelI
Sloss and Kerrigan have reached Conclusions
differing from those of this court. In the case
of the order to show in the case in
volving the Hotel Nyraphia your Honor also
reached conclusions differing from those
reached by you in the case of Ravini, though
1t is our contention that the premises involved
are the same.
1t is our belief that the ends of justice will
be best subserved by harmonixing the decisions
Of this court and 1t will be of great advantage
to the community to obtain a final decision
upon the points involved in these cases A
harmonizing OF decisions is also of vital i'm
portance to the police. as conflicting decisions
tend to hinder the operation of the law and
paralyze the arm of the peace officers of the
municipality.
When this motion was read the
wrath of Hebbard broke and he forth
with announced that he would have
nothing further to do with the cases.
The form of the motion. he said, did
not meet with his approval and hence
he would pass the entire matter back
to the presiding Judge, for reassign-
ment.
