OWEN CASE WILL

PREPARE BRIEF in CASE.
Same Was Forwarded on Monday and
viii BE Submitted as Their
Argument.

The case of r. H. owen. plaintiff
in error, against the State of Florida
defendant 10 error, will come on foI
further hearing before the Supreme
Court at Tallahassee today, on mo
tion Of the Attorney-General asking
the court to refuse to grant dis
missal Of the appeal as applied for
By counsel for plaintiff in error, DC
tober 18th.
The motion was set down for ar
gument on the 26th Of October but
the Attorney-G General asked for more
time. Consequently the hearing was
postponed until today. The attor-
neys for plaintiff in error viii rely
upon a brief which they have forward
ed to the Supreme Court, and will
not be personally present to argue
the case.
The Attofney.General in his afi-
davit attached to the motion, con-
tends that the writ of error was not
sued out IN good faith, but that II
was the purpose OF plaintiff in err
ror to trihe with the process Of the
Supreme Court by suing out successive
writs OF error. and dismlssing them
ad inflnitum. The attorneys for
plaintiff in error disclaim all inten-
tion OF trihlng with the process OF the !
Supreme Court, and are relying sole
ly upon the legal and constitutional
right OF the plaintiff in error to have
writ of error issued as allowed by
law, and the counsel for the plaintiff
IN error take the position that the
question OF good faith cannot be rails
ed, and IL the defendant, Owen, sees
ht TO dismiss his case In the Supreme
Court, he has a perfect right under
rules OF the Supreme Court 20 do SO,

Outbreak at Chelsea Jute
Plant Too Much for Its
Private Firemen.

Fires are. of such common occurrence
IN the immense plant OF the Chelsea
Jute Company, Manhattan avenue and
Commercial street, Greenpo!nt, that the
400 employees worked along calmly for
nearly three hours to-day, while the
private fire department OF the corpora
ton fought blaze In the basement.
The amateur tremen, however. were
unable to cope with the conhagration
which threatenen TO get away from
them, and alarm was sent in Deputy
Chief Gooderson, knowing that when an
alarm comes from the Chelsea Jute
plant there must be something doing,
went with the engines and trucks and
took charge Of the situation.
He found the fire in section OF
the cellar devoted to the storage OF
oakum. There was no blaze, but clouds
of sitting smoke sifted through the
closely packed inhammable material
Tie first order issued by Chief Gooder-
son was that the oakum should be re-
moved from the cellar.
The $50 members of,he private fire de-
partment were set to work on this task,
while the firemen went itno the heart
of the disturbance and fought the fire
at close range. So much smoke had in
vaded the factory by the time the fire.
men arrived that the machinery was
stopped and the employees were allowed
a recess of an hour near the open win
dows. The fire was practically out at
noon.
