DICKENS DEFENDS ACTION
BROUGHT AGAINST HIM

Mobile, June 1s.--(Special.) --Ths
first step in his own defense was to-
day made In the United States Distric,
Court by Charles Dickens, who defend
ed action brought against him some
time ago by Attorneys r. j. Inge,
Stevens and Lyons and Paul Kearns
to declare him a bankrupt.
A petition was filed by the attor-
neys on March last, asking that c. G.
Dickens be declared bankrupt on
grounds that he removed from banks
certain bonds and other securities OF
English Manufacturing Company. The
action by the lawyers followed shortly
after the fight OF Dickens to Houston.
Va, where he was later arrested. The
attorneys In question today appeared
at the United States District Court and
asked that the petition be referred to
the referee In bankruptcy, in order
that he may take evidence in matter
Of adjudication.
Attorney B. b. Boone appeared and
announced himself as legal adviser of
Dickens. He died an answer to the
petition OF Attorneys F. J. Inge, Stew
ems and Lyons and Paul Kearns, in
which he denies that his client has
committed an act of bankruptcy. 1t
was alleged that Dickens had caused
transfer of certain property to defeat
efforts of creditors who 1t is alleged he
owes $1,000 for legal services In this
now famous case.
The court referred the matter to the
referee, who will later tx a date for
the hearing.

May Cali Extra Session.


Chicago, June 16-The primary law
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court today is the third primary
law which has been declared invalid by
the highest tribunal in the state. The
law was passed by the 45th general as
sembly in special session ana was
known as the oglesby bill.
In the workings of the law, objec-
ton was made to the cumbrous
machinery with It occasioned and the
restrictions which were placed on
voters before they were eligible to par
ticipate in the primary. Criticism was
also raised on the powers granted to
various committees of the different
political parties. One of the principal
points made in the argument against
the validity of the law in the appeal
to the Supreme Court. was the sec
ton of the act which provides that no
person may vote at primary election
unless legally qualified as a voter. the
qualification including registration.
The act permitted a voter who had
moved into a precinct after the last
registration to vote on the affidavit OF
a householder, but no provision was
made for casting the vote of legal
voter who had not changed his resi-
dence but had not registered.
In political circles II is considered
that the decision of the Supreme Court
throwing out the primary act will
necessitate the calling of a special
session this fall. Unless a new primarv
act is placed on the statute books by
the present general assembly, the next
election OF representatives, state sena-
tors and state officers, will be under
the old convention system. There is a
strong feeling in Illinois in favor Of a
direct primary act and those who are
close to Governor Deneen believe that
he will undoubtedly issue a call for a
special session of the forty-sixth gem
eral assembly.
