dismissed. The consideration, there
fore. must resolve around the initiative
of the district attorney presented
by the pending motion. In the pres
ent view of the matter it is not the
disposition of the court to inquire into
the occasion. for the present attitude
of the district attorney, because if the
court shall deem such course ad-
visable, it will find itself obliged to
make an exhaustive inquiry into the
attitude of the district attorney In
the view of the court this action
should be tried by jury and a verdict
should be rendered by a jury, if that
is possible, in the full operation Of the
law The motion is denied"
GALLAGHER's ABSENCE DISCUSSED
The absence of Gallagher was then
discussed at some length. Stanley
Moore offered to make statement for
the defense. but Judge Lawlor called
upon the district attorney.
He left here while under guard"
said Fickert, and ] am of the opinion
that he will not be back for some time
to come and that we can not rely upon
his return to this state. We have sent
subpenas to every sheriff in the state.
We have called those people who should
know his whereab bouts to the stand, and
they have testified fully. Your honor
has heard as to that And / do not
know than any other effort could be
made. He is now somewhere in Eu
rope, as the testimony discloses, and
we have no power to compel him to
return"
Before the adjournment of court
Fickert announced:
IF your honor please, do not want
to assume the responsibility for this
witness According to the evidence
here and according to my investiga-
tions, he went away with the consent
and knowledge of the special agent at
that time"
Judge Lawlor ordered all parties into
court next Monday morning for the
beginning of the trial.
Fickert was asked as to the handling
of the case on behalf of the people.

that time a friend came to live with
US, and i noticed that after he had

drink his coffee any more. l asked
him the reason. He replied, L have

can like coffee, anyway, after drinking
Postum

a package of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drunk no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suffer
ing so we returned to Postum, con-
vinced that coffee was an enemy, in
stead of a friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia.

.[Gate Citv Leased Wire Service


LONDON, May king George won
the hearts of the pleasure loving
lower class Englishmen tonight by the
semi-official announcement that the
funeral of his father King Edward
VII would probably be held May IA
instead of May II, as planned. The
new monarch, sensible to the fact
that Whit Monday, great national
holiday, falls on the sixteenth, desires
to hold the funeral before that date
so that Englishmen may enjoy their
holiday. AS the theatres are closed
and all forms of sport abandoned I'M
til after the funeral this would be a
great concession to the middle
classes.
The main obstacle to holding the
funeral on the fourteenth, however,
will be the convenience of the mem
bers of the foreign royal families
who wish to attend. Many of them
fear they would be unable to reach
London by the fourteenth. This date
is, therefore, tentative.
Among members of the foreign
royal families who are scheduled to
attend the funeral, are the German
kaiser, the king and queen of Nor
way, King Emanuel, King Albert OF
Belgium and probably King Alfonso
and Queen Ena of Spain.
Burial will be at Frogmore, close
60 the royal Windsor palace. about 20
miles from London. The body of the
King will lie close to that of the late
queen Victoria, his mother, though in
a separate mausoleum from that con-
tanning the bodies of Victoria and her
consort.
All work throughout the United
States will be suspended on the day
OF the funeral.
The court will be in mourning
twelve months for the late king and
the public six months. The cornora-
tion of King George, however, will
come likely at the end of six months,
as the last six months of the courts
mourning period is not strictly adj
hered to
One of the most depressing fea-
lures in connection with the kings
death is the gloomy financial out
look that it entails.
The mourning period will practically
kill the retail trade of Great Britain
for at least six months.
The heavy liquidation OF stocks it
is predicted will continue for several
weeks. Insurance companies Will
have to pay out about s5o,ooo,ooo in
surance on the death of the king.
Thousands of people carried policies
on him. This being payable will fur

a small percentage were buried to-
day, relatives and friends of the dead
demanding that they be given a
