Why the Order Was Issued.
sThe Commissioners promulgated the
order to light up wagons and carriages

reasonable regulation

WHEELING. w. Va. November 16-
Prosecuting Attorney Handbags success
in having Judge Jordan summon a spe-
cial grand jury to take up the Schenk
poisoning case was a step stubbornly con-
tested by the attorneys for Mrs. Schenk.
who wanted a preliminary hearing before
a magistrate. The grand jury's hearing
will be in secret. and an indictment on a
charge Of attempted murder is forecasted
and expected.
Difficult to Obtain Jury.
There will be difficulty In obtaining a
Jury not prejudiced. 1t is believed. but the
district attorneys procedure hurries mat
tiers and takes away much public inter-
est In the case. He says he did 1t be-
cause private detectives for Mrs. Schenk
were attempting to tamper with witnesses
for the state, and that there will be no
further arrest until after the jury's find
ing. Mr.. Schenk continues to improve.
The court has called special grand
jury OF the criminal court to meet Fri
day to act on the case.
Although Ii was O'Clock yesterday
evening when the call was issued,
the news spread like wildfire, and 1t is
said several prominent persons involved
in the case Immediately began packing
their grips and preparing to leave the
city in order to avoid the notoriety that
will be theirs IL they are summoned and
compelled to give testimony.
Reasons for Speedy Action.
It he'd not been the prosecutors in
tcntion to ask for special grand jury
until the return from Chicago Of Dr.
Gregory Alderman. who was the first

poisoning. but he said today that In ad-
dition to other reasons there were 80
many reports OF important witnesses
leaving the city that he considered early
action in the case imperative. 1t IL ex.

the case. said to be a prominent physi-
clan. win be served Immediately after
the grand Jury meets.
The prosecutor was closeted for several
hours last night with Lundy Wilson. the
chauffeur In the Schenk home, and after
the conference said he had his case com
plete.
The reports from the hospital are to
tho effect that John 8. Schenk showed
greater Improvement yesterday than at
any time since he became i'll, and that
MS recovery seems certain. The at
tendants say the visit yesterday OF his
two children cheered the patient greatly.
