new USE. FOR INJUNCTION
Illinois Supreme Court Considering
the Matter.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 8.-The Illinois
supreme court has decided to consider
new extension of the use of the writ
of injunction. Upon motion Of
States Attorney Healy of Chicago the
court consented to preliminary step
in the application for an injunction to
restrain Judge Willard M. McEwen of
Chicago from hearing arguments for
the discharge of a prisoner in habeas
corpus proceedings. The case is one
indirectly bearing on that of John A..
Cooke, Chicago politician who was
convicted of embezzlement and after
a sensational legal fight is now in Jol-
let penitentiary. His friends are still
planning his release by habeas corpus.
The supreme court, in certiorari pro-
ceedings, directs Judge McEwen to
stay his habeas corpus hearing tenn
porarily pending further action of the
supreme court. 1t is the hope of the
prosecutor that the supreme court will
issue a permanent injunction against
Judge McEwen and in doing so make
a broad declaration that no lower
court has power of habeas corpus re-
garding~>a prisoner whose case has
been reviewed by the supreme court
This would apparently shut the peni-
Tertiary doors finally for Cooke. Judge
McEwen. whose action is halted, is an
avowed candidate for the Republican
nomination as governor of Illinois.

MORSE STILL MISSING.
Story That He Sailed for Europe 10
Doubted

New York, Feb. S-The where
abouts of Charles w. Morse is still
mystery, Notwithstanding rumors that
he was In this city as late as Wednes-
day night United States District At
torney Stimson, who has charge Of the
federal grand jury investigation of
Morse's relations with some of the
closed national banks, gave greater
impetus to the search for him by re.
questing his counsel, Albert B. Board
man, to ascertain where Morse had
gone and induce him to return to New
York. Mr.. Boardman promptly cabled
to Liverpool to intercept Morse if he
should arrive at Liverpool on the
steamer Campania.
Considerable doubt as to whether
Mr.. Morse is on board the steamer
has been aroused by report that Mr..
Morse was seen in his box at the Met
ropolitan Opera House Wednesday
evening and the statement of Morse's
son Erwin, Yale university student,
who was quoted as saying that he
dined with his father at his New York
home last Sunday night. The Cam.
pania sailed from New York on Sat-
urday.
+ Mrs Morse later announced that her
husband sailed for Europe on the Cam
pania and that she accompanied him
to the steamer few minutes before
the departure
''Mr. Morse is coming back on the
Campania on her next trip" added
Mrs. Morse. s"The voyage was under
taken in order that he might have a
rest and recover some of his nerve
force, which has been badly shattered
by his troubles. He is fighting man
and he will be back to face anything
necessary"

counsel for Snyder and Mathues, de-

In the Carson inquiry was suggested
and framed by Pennypacker, Carson
and Snyder, by whom Lewis was
called to Harrisburg to discuss this
matter. Lewis said the statements in
the letter that every article of fur
nishings had been carefully weighed
and measured by the architect before
they were delivered and paid for were
partly true and partly misleading. He
explained that the Huston letter was

.ROSS|7ER STEPS ASIDE
Assistant Public Printer Will Fill
Temporary Vacancy.
EXCEEDED HIS AUTHORITY.

Treasury Department Rules That IN
der the Law tho President Had No
Power to Appoint Mr.. Rossiter to
the Position.
Washington, Feb. 8.-William S.
Rossiter, who on Wednesday last was
appointed acting public printer in
place Of Public Printer Stillings, who
is under suspension pending an inves-
tigation of the affairs of his Office,
went to the treasury department to
have his bond approved. The depart
ment refused to consider the matter
on the ground that the president had
exceeded his authority in appointing
Mr. Rossiter; that under the law the
assistant public printer, Captain H. T.
Brian, succeeds to the vacancy. -.
Under this informal ruling Mr.. Ros-
sitter later in the day stepped aside
and his place was taken by Captain
Brian, who will administer the govern
ment printing Office as acting public
printer for the time being. Mr.. Ros-
sitter, however, does not relinquish the
work of inquiry laid out for him by
the president. His position in the
government printing Office becomes
that of the presidents personal repre-
sentative and he is proceeding with
the investigation upon which he is to
base his report to the president of
conditions existing there and of the
best methods of putting the big plant
on a business basis.
The authority under which the
treasury department decided not to
accept Mr.. Rossiter's bond was the act
of Jan. ~, 1896, which provided that
in case of death, resignation, absence
or illness of the public printer the
chief clerk of the government printing
office should perform the duties of
public printer until successor was
appointed or such absence or illness
shall cease. BY the legislative act of
1907 the title of the chief clerk of the
government printing Office was
changed to that of deputy to the pub
lie printer.
