A writ of habeas corpus directed to the
Sheriff Of this county was issued by Judge
Pritchard this morning and was mailed
to the Southern Railway attorneys here.
In the meantime Judge Long. presiding
in the Superior Court, created a new situa-
ton. Calling the Sheriff into court with

that Green would be in the custody OF the
Court until his case ia disposed OF.
Under present circumstances II Judge
Pritchard, upon HE arrival here decides
TO issue a new writ he must direct il to the
Judge Of the Superior Court instead OF to

Much time was consumed in the court
to-day In arguing motions for a continuance

ter in the case of Green, but all we're over
ruled and Judge Long ordered that the
trial begin tomorrow morning.
General Counsel A. P. Thorn Of the South

Judge Long stands firm for the authority

NIGHT POLICE Court NOW.
Black mailing Arrests and BOndsmen's
Graft VIII suner.

The night police court bill was signed by
Gov. Hughes yesterday and to-day Mayor
Mcclellan will announce the appointment
of the two Magistrates for Manhattan and
The Bronx created by II. IL is practically
certain that Joseph f. Corrigan. an assistant
in District Attorney Jerome's office. will
get one of the places and rumor names for
the other Otto Droege.
President Charles S. Whitman OF the
Board OF Magistrates said after he got the
news from Albany that il would probably
be August / before the new night court 10
running. There are a good many details
to be arranged.
The new Law makes II mandatory upon
the board to arrange for a night session.
The plan under consideration now is TO have
the night session held in the Jefferson
Market police court from Q in the evening
until 3 in the morning.
While the Magistrates court must dis
pose of matters presented to it, said Presi-
dent Whitman, 1T is the general intention
that the court at night shall dispose only
of cases in which the Magistrate has sum-
mary jurisdiction. such as disorderly con-
duct cases or violations OF the city charter.
Cases in which the Magistrate has only
committing power will, according to the
present plan. be sent TO their proper dis
tricts TO be acted upon on the next day.
This plan of procedure, however, will
afford persons charged with felony an OPP
p%ortunity to offer bail before a competent
official.
President Whitman predicts that the night
court will do away absolutely with the
bondsman's graft. President Whitman said
yesterday that he hoped arrangements
would be made with the police whereby all
women arrested on any charge whatever
at night shall have ar opportunity for an
immediate hearing.
Each Of the Magistrates will take his
turn at the night police court, sitting for
twelve nights in succession.
Gov. Hughes took up the night police
bill out OF it's order when he learned that
Mayor Mcclellan was going on his vaca-
ton at once. The bill provides that the
two Magistrates shall be appointed by the
signed. The Acting Mayor can make no
appointments until the Mayor has been
absent thirty days.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
MANILA, July l7.--Manila is entering upon
its first real political campaign and is rea-
sonably interested. although the masses,
who are not qualified to vote. are, naturally
enough, apathetic. The general impression
prevails that the conservative elements, the
p~ropertyholders and others who have
something TO lose, are satisfied with the
present conditions. while the masses prefer
regular meals and religious liberty to any
political agitation.
However, the bitterest rivalry character

Indiscriminate mobs Of the poorer and I'M
educated non voters follow the brass bands.

a few leaders ~expounding widely varying
doctrines, their speeches often punctuated
with strong personalities.
DR.. Dominador Gomez has been or
ganizing meetings at which he has swayed
the hombres by means OF lurid oratory in
which he demands independence for the
Philippines. Recently he dramatically
kissed the insurgent flag at n Of these
meetings while vilifying the Americans as
swine" To-day he occupies a police cell
owing 20 the withdrawal OF his bondsmen in
the case that is now before the Supreme
Court. He has an appeal pending from a
six months sentence for reasonable con-
duct.
This kind Of infammatory campaigning is
not taken seriously by the authorities, who
consider IL merely a convenient escape
valve for a volatile and unstable people.

He has a herculean job before him. because
he will be called on TO clean out the labor
union politicians from all the big com
missions, where they have fattened on
municipal appropriations while permitting
streets, sewers and public buildings to re-
main in shocking condition. In fact from
now until the election OF a new Mayor the
labor unions will get a much needed chas-
tening.
DR.. Taylor is now busy selecting a new

serve his power He has secreted the seal
of San Francisco and he will appoint new
Supervisors as soon as the members Of
the old board retire.
He has already appointed Sam Sawyer.

It is expected that Schmitz will go through
the form Of naming Supervisors to TAX
the places Of those who resign, but his APP
p~ointees will nave only theoretical exist
ence. On the other hand. DR.. Taylor's
appointees will he sworn in. Even should

LONDON, July 1.-THE Harvard memorial
chapel in the Church Of ST. Saviour, the
Southwark Cathedral, that was restored by
contributions by Harvard graduates. was
dedicated this afternoon by the Bishop OF
Southwark with an elaborate ceremonial.
The Bishop called attention TO the fact
that the chapel. which is that of St. John the
Evangelist. had a distinct interest for Har-
ward men. as in it the father OF John Harvard
used 20 attend vestry meetings.
He expressed the hope that Americans
would thus feel there was one spot, n
sanctuary in London. that was especially
their own. and he hoped they would not
only visit il, but would use it for all
Christian purposes and that Southwark
would become a name OF cherished associa-
ions.
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid. on behalf
Of the contributors toward HI restoration
OF the chapel. said that Harvard and similar
institutions, like Dartmouth. Columbia and
others established by Englishmen in Amer
lea, constituted to-day one Of the strongest
Of the many ties binding the two countries

aims, aspirations and destinies.
On behalf Of the contributors. among
whom he mentioned Joseph H. Choate,

BERLIN, July 1.-THE trial Of Karl Hau.
former professor OF Roman law at George
Washington University. Warrington. for
the murder OF his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Moliter, in Baden Baden on the evening Of
November o last began at Carlsruhe to-day.
The large court room was crowded TO
excess. The object that attracted most
attention. next to the prisoner. was the
heart Of the dead woman. preserved in a
bottle filed with spirits OF wine.
Sixty witnesses we're present. including
Olga. a married daughter. and Fanny.
an unmarried daughter Of Mrs. Molter.
who were attired in deepest black.
Mr.. Bratter Of Constantinople was also On
hand. He will testify n to Hau's mental
condition when Hau was in Constantinople
and his statement that Mrs. Moliter was
trying to upset his negotiations on behalf
Of certain American capitalists with the
Sultan for the establishment Of an oil station
in Turkey.
Among the other witnesses are experts
who conducted the examination OF Mrs.
Moliter's body and those who examined
Hau and found him san
The proceedings began with the exami-
nation Of Hau, who spoke with a low but
steady voice. He admitted that he was in
Baden Baden at the hour when the alleged
murder was committed, but declined to say
why he was there. In reply to further
questioning by the Judge he said he met
Mrs. Moliter and her daughters, Lima and
Olga, at the Hotel Suisse, Ajaccio. Corsica.
He did not deny that he wronged Lima and
ran away with her and that she tried to
commit suicide by shooting The Judge
asked:
did you not have Lins's consent TO fire
at her on that OCCASION
Hau refused to answer.
The opening address of the State Prosecutor
was almost annihilating for Hau, who,
however, remained perfectly calm. Hau's
legal attitude in the case was, as he said
himself, not to deny any facts that were
confirmed by unprejudioed witnesses.
He persistently asserted his innocence
while being examined by the Judge, but
greatly damaged his case by refusing to
answer many important questions, espe-
cially in declining 70 reply to the query
whether he had had intimate relations
with his sis~ter-in-law Olga.
He alleged that if he had been allowed
to have a private interview with his wife
while he was in prison, instead Of in the
presence Of j~silers, she never would have
committed suicide. He further charged
the prosecution with driving his wife TO de-
spsir and death.
Hau's examination lasted four hours.
