CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS.
Papers Printing Obscene Matter viii
Be Prosecuted.

New York, Feb. 11.-United States
Attorney Stinson of this city, today,
served a notice upon the publishers of
all the principal newspapers of this
city that he intends to bring before the
United States grand jury for criminal
prosecution all violations Of the
federal laws against the circulation of
obscene matter in reporting the Thaw
trial.
Mr.. S,imson's notice read as follows:
"Information has been brought to me
indicating that some Of the newspapers
Of this city, under the guise of reports
Of the pending Thaw trial, have been
sending through the United state mails,
lcYd lasciviOus, and obscene matter. IN
violation of Section 1888 of the revised
statutes l beg To advise you that the
mere fact that such matter purports to
be IN account of a judicial proceeding
furnishes no excuse for a violation OF
the statute in question in regard 70 the
mails and that l propose to bring be-
fore the federal grand jury Of this dis
trct for criminal prosecution all such
violations which may occur
Stimscn said that the matter had not
been brought to his attention by anyon"
and that he had taken the initiative in
the matter personally and from what he
had himself seen in the papers.
I'm my opinion" said he, such publ
cations should be stopped by the judge
in the court room; but be that as it may,
we can at least stop the sending Of such
matter through the mails, and il is my
purpose to in all probability lay the mat
ter before the grand jury
Mr. Stimson said. however, that as to
his presentation of the matter before the
grand jury it would depend very much
upon future publications throughout the
remainder Of the trial. As vet. he said
he had taken no steps toward summoninS
anybody before the grand jury or to lay
the matter before the jury personally.
Boston, Feb 11.--Asa p. French. Unit
ed States district attorney for the B0s
ton district. said this afternoon that he
had received no explicit instructions to
serve notices upon the newspapers in
connection with the printing of OBJ
scene matter in connection with the
Thaw trial but he said emphaticl!ly
that he was thoroughly in sympathy
with the movement taken in New York
to prevent a further publication Of tn"
questionable evidence in the ThaW
trial" He added:
Il believe that the publication Of this
evidence is doing a great deal Of harm. ."
When asked whether he contemplated
action upon his own initiative. Mr..
French stated that he was not prepared
to say at this time.

PICTURE POST CARD RIOT.

The craze for picture post cards
led to extraordinary rioting in the
streets Of Tokyo when the picture
post cards issued by the government
in commemoration of the war with
Russia were placed on sale at the
postoffices. Double files of people
a mile long were waiting outside
most of the Offices as soon as they
opened At one place the police
lost control Of the crowd, which be
gan desperate struggle to gain
admittance. The fence round the
postoffice was trampled down and
the people climbed up the walls
on to the roofs and fought their
way in through the windows. Under
the weight of people part Of the ROOF
fell in, while the walls we're dam
aged and the windows were smashed.
Those who could not get near threw
stones at the building. To quel.
the disturbance soldiers were called
out. They charged the crowd with
fixed bayonets and the fire brigade
played streams of water on them.

will thunder over the top.-Sf.

Eighth Grade Graduations

For some days previous to the re-
cent school election statement was
industriously circulated that "there
have bees no eighth grade graduates
from the school here, for the past
two years.
There can be no'excuse for such q
peryersion of facts.
Two years ago the eighth grade
class consisted of nine members, of
whom six passed with good standings.
Last year there were seven in the
class of whom six passed most credit
ably, There were only one or two
other eighth grade pupils in all tn
schools of the county who obtained
diplomas. Not only was the average
standing here the highest but the
average age of the pupils was the
lowest, showing that they completed
the work in the best manner in the
least time.
AT the recent midwinter examin-
alton the pupils of the present eighth
grade were examined in two subjects
only and their grades in these sub.
Jects were the highest in the county,
Their work in the remaining subjects
OF the grade will not be completed
until the close of this school year, I'm.
