Justices court for forgery. The
basis of the motion was that
Coughlan's case had been consider
ed by the grand jury and no in
dictment rendered, yet he was de-
tanned in Jail. The court had in
effect granted the dismissal order
when Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Laughon informed the court that
the case of Coughlan had not been

cause the record on the lower court

information was at once filed,
charging forgery, and Coughlan

PEACE
CONGRESS AT LUCERNE

LUCERNE, Switzerland, Sept. 10.
One of the most impressive peace
congresses ever held opened here
today. The tide of arbitration and
peace is now running SO high in all
the European states that many of
the most influential men in all parts
of the world are in attendance at
the conference to discuss ques-
lions of great national Importance
which are to be presented at the
sessions.
Most important among the many
vital subjects outlined for the pro-
gram of the fourteenth interna-
tional peace congress are the ques-
tiOns of the reduction of the armies
and the navies of the nation and
of the establishment of stated in
ternational congress for the regu-
lar consideration OF all information
al matters. Both of these ques-
lions will probably also engaged the
second Hague conference which, 1t
is now stated on good authority,
will meet as soon as the present
hostilities in the east are settled.
A feature of the program which
appeals especially to our own peo-
pie is the prominence given to the
subject of naturalization. At the
Boston congress of last autumn
this subject received a degree of
consideration greater than that ac-
corded to it at any previous peace
congress and since that time
through the declaration of the
Massachusetts Board of Trade in
favor of naturalization of certain
zones across the Atlantic. it has
commanded worldwide notice. 1t
is well understood fact that the
problem of naturalization applied
to the Philippines by the mutual
agreement of the great nations
would remove many of the most
serious obstacles in the way of

At last nights meeting Of the city
council, in committee of the whole,
to consider the appropriations for

"That the corporation counsel
