Fifteen hundred school children Of Des
Moines will see Judge Taft when he reaches

Speculation is rife as to what the legis-
lature will do next January as to Judge
Frank r. Gaynor of the Fourth judicial
district. Judge Gaynor made some motor
iety for himself soon after the adjournment
of the regular session of the Thirty-second
general assembly by refusing to recognize
the indeterminate sentence law. He sem
fenced a criminal to a definite term on the
grounds that the law was unconstitutional.
: Since then each criminal who has come
before him has been sentenced to a definite
term Of years. 1t is asserted that his action
makes him liable to impeachment. The
constitutionality of the law has never been
tested in the courts, and It can only be
tested by impeachment proceedings or else
by some of the men sentenced by him start
ing proceedings to get released after the
expiration of the term for which they have
been sentenced has expired

Tuesday for the first time and the first
case called for argument was one in which
J. J. Smith Of Ottumwa appeared as
attorney for one side. Later the two mer
took lunch at the Slavery.
