Agent Unable to Get Possession Of
These Until Explanation 1s
Found by oMcials.

NEW YORK. April 22.-The detention
here by customs onicials of five trunks
bearing the name Of Marie Dressler. the
actress, marks the development today OF
what il believed to be q new phase in the
big smuggling case which the federal
officials are investigating.
The trunks were shipped to New York
from Paris by way OF London. Miss
Dressler reached here on the steamer
Baltic some time ago and hurried on to
Chicago. leaving two trunks. containing
theatrical costumes on the White Star
lire pier.
When her agent went to the pier to
claim the trunks he discovered that In
stead Of two there were five trunks on the
pier bearing Miss DresslePs name. and
was informed that two more would ar
rive on the steamer Adriatic today
ofacials Hold All Trunks.
None OF the trunks was delivered ia
the agent The customs officials instead
detained them all, pending an investi-
cation.
Miss Dressler. who was communicated
with over the long-distance telephone In
Chicago, declared that she expected only
the two trunks.
That five out Of the lot Of seven trunks
are OF the "underground" order is the
belief OF the customs authorities. Miss
Dressler's agent expressed the conviction
that the smugglers had used the actress
name in an attempt to pass the entire
lot into this country without payment of
duty.

turns to Him in Action in Which
Amish Sect Defends.

Niles. Mich, Jan. 29.-George E.
Paillie of this city has been awarded
$1,000 damages against the Amish
churchmen at Portland, Ind. for alien
ating the affections of his wife
through imbuing her with their relig-
ious ideas The case probably will be
appealed. but Paillie gets his wife
back. Paillie was once a member Of
the church. but was expelled after his
barn burned and he accepted insur-
ance money, an act abhorrent to the
sect. Mrs. Paillie has lived with him
and cooked his meals. but was not al
lowed to converse with him. Mrs.
Paillie declared before the trial that
she would abide by the jury's decis-
ion, and that if a verdict was awarded
her husband she would again live
amicably with him.

themselves with the idea and to ex-
press their sentiments
The plan is to put Henry county in
a district that would include Bureau,
Stark, and possibly one or more coun-
ties to be taken from the Peoria dis
trict This would leave Peoria and
Rock Island, the larger centers, with
better facilities to expedite court work.
The plan is TO add an emergency
clause to the bill, and have the change
go into effect at once. Such action
would require vote of two-thirds to
pass.
This is not the first move with a
view to relieving the congestion in
Rock Island county, but the other
measure, by which it was proposed to
give this district four judges, is not
favored, and no effort will be made to
secure its adoption.
Other Matters That Figure.
The cutting down of the district
might serve to expediate business, es-
pecially if it could be given a rest for
time in furnishing one of the judi
ges for the appellate court, which for
some years has deprived the present
district of one of its best judges in
the person Of Judge F. D. Ramsay, and
in consequence of which the circuit
courts have suffered. Whatever the
size of the district, the efficiency and
temperament of the presiding judge of
course, has much to do with the adj
ministration of justice and the extent
to which business is dispatched.
There is just one thing the people
of Rock Island county would regret in
the adoption of any new deal before
the next election and that would con.
ceSn the separation of Henry county
from the district involving as it would
the loss CT the able and popular jur.

WOULD CHANGE
THIS CIRCUIT
Plan for Reapp6rtionment Of Judicial
Districts of the
State.
TO DETACH HENRY COUNTY
Which Would Leave Rock Island, Mer-
Ger and Whiteside With Three
Judges.

"The members of the legislature from
the Thirty-third district would like the
people to consider fully the proposed
reapportionment of the judicial dis
tricts of the state before the new law
Is taken up in the senate and house
at Springfield" said Senator F. A. Lam
dee, conversing with The Argus this
afternoon.
There is no doubt that reappor-
tionment will be made before the cleo
ton of next June" the senator con-
tiued, land what the representatives
from this senatorial district, as well
as myself, desire to know is how the
people feel about the proposed changes
in the Fourteenth judicial district, of
which Rock Island county is part.
To Detnch Henry County.
$50 far as we have gone, the prop
osition is to detach Henry county and
otherwise leave the district just as it
is now. By cutting off one county and
leaving three counties, Rock Island.
Whiteside and Mercer, it is thought
with the same representation of three
judges, court business could be eXpe-
dited, and q county like Rock Island,
whose records are away behind, could
be kept apace with eXacting business
before the courts. In fact, there could
be two sitting judges in Rock Island
county part of the time, as there is
not nearly the court business in either
Whiteside or Mercer that there is in
Rock Island. In other words, the pro-
posed redistricting of the state would
so far as it applied to this judicial
district, give us a judge from each
county. In any event, we want the
subject to be given publicity in order
that members of the bar and all inter
ested may have time to familiarize
