JUDGE MANDELL
CALLS ATTORNEY

One OF the mos; severe censures
heard In the circuit court in Ions
time was that administered Thursday
morning by Judge Mandell to former
Judge Look.
Look is attorney for August Klaus
chewsky, who is suing the Lake Shore
Il Michigan Southern railroad for the
killing of two cows In Springwells.
He places his damages at $1,000. Dur
ing the taking of testimony 1t was
established that the cows were worth
about $50 each. Then Judge Mandell
administered the rebuke.
THE bringing OF a suit OF this
trifing character In the circuit court
Is a disgrace to the administration Of
justice" the judge declared Not only
does IL pile up useless costs on your
client, but IL adds TO the taxes OF Tn ;
county, and that is what I am more
concerned in. A justice court Is the
place for this case, and no one knows
that any better than you. Mr.. Look"
The case was started in the justice
court some time ago, and when the
attorney for the plaintiff saw that the
verdict was going against him. he with
drew the suit. and started action In
the higher court In order-te carry
the suit up the cows were valued at
$500 each

7 URkS CONVENE
FIRST POPULAR
ASSEMBLY
SULTAN, WHO GRANTED coNSTt
TUITION, HEADS IMPOSING PRO-
cESSION-lT is DAWN OF NEW
DAY FOR HIS SUBJECTS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 17.-After
centuries OF despotic power. under
which there have been many revolu-
lions, assasinations and other grue-
some after-effects, the Turkish people
today enjoyed the calling OF the first
Ottoman parliament. Sultan Abdul
Hamid, the man who was hated more
than any other public official, paraded
at the head OF an elaborate cortege To
open the first session of the parla'
ment. He granted the constitution last
July. All along the line OF march the
sultan was cheered vociferously.
The sultan left Yildiz palace at
1880 a. m in a state coach. He drove
to the building adjoining the ministry
of justice. which faces the great square
OF St Sofia. 1t Is here where the new
chamber convened. The whole line OF
march of the imperial party had been
swept and spread with fresh sand
Every time the ruler leaves fildiz
these preparations are made
Along the line OF march were lined
troops in dazzling uniform There
were triumphal arches spanning the
streets. These, together with the en-
thuSlaSm Win WHICH lHt lultl W"
greeted, added extreme impressive
ness 10 the scene II was pubic
holiday. and thousands came in from
the surrounding places to enjoy the
step towards popular government.
All the ministers OF state, senators
and deputies OF the new Legislative
body assembled in the ministry OF
justice preparatory to marching to the
hall OF parliament. The foreign dip
lomats In Constantinople assembled
In the British embassy and proceeded
to the hall in a body. They all were
clad In their full official uniforms.
The enthusiasm OF the people are
keyed TO n high pitch. and their re-
ception TO the sultan and their cheers
for the new assembly are an evidence
OF the deep interest taken by Turkey
in the hrst step towards constitu.
tional life.
The first Turkish parliament was as
sembled over 20 years ago. but It's ex-
istence was very brief and II was DIS
solved before any definite results were
accomplished.
