JUDGE DENIED A RELEASE

Cochran Alleged Tyranny Case In VIII
mington to Go to Grand Jury.
Resident Judge Daniel o. Hast
ings, of the County Court, Friday de-
clined to release under habeas corpus
proceedings Judge Edwin R. Cochran.
of the City Court, and held him under
bail in the sum of 5000 for his ap-
pearance before the upper court. The
judge declared that he thought the
case was one for the grand Jury to
decide. Some time ago Judge Coch-
ran, formerly of MiddIetown, fined
Abraham Tobias 500 and costs for
contempt of court because he refused
TO tell his nationality, and Tobias had
the judge arrested on a charge of
tyrsnnical oppression under the cover
of his Office. Friday Judge Cochran
went to the Office of Magistrate
Guckman, where he was surrendered
by his bondsman, Clerk of the Court,
Lewis Sasse, and given over into the
custody of Constable Buckley to COM
NIT to the workhouse. Warden Craw-
ford was in court, and the Judge was
turned over to him. The custody was
only technical and after Judge Hast
ings had declined to allow Judge
Cochran to go, Chief of Police Black
became his bondsman. The case will
go before the grand jury at the May
term.

nati, possibly, will move up past
Buffalo. Detroit will pass New
Orleans and perhaps Cincinnati.
Los Angeles can fall far below the
confident local claims and still move
up above Omaha, St. Joseph, Fall
River, Paterson, New Haven, SYRIA
cuse, Worcester, Columbus, Toledo,
Denver, Rochester, st. Paul, Kansas
City, Indianapolis and Providence.
Seattle may have passed fully as
many cities as Los Angeles has gone
by since the census of 1900. The
census will show that the largest
city in the country has a greater
population than any one of AZ States.
Only four will beat the metropolis of
the New World, and one of these four
contains the great city itself.
The gain of New York City in the
last 10 years will be found to exceed
the increase in the population of any
one of the States except five, at
most. These are New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Texas and Okla
homa. There is doubt about Okla
homa and little uncertainty about
Illinois, measured against the growth
of New YorK-the city alone.
Smyrna times., 1910-05-04
Benjamin Karr, in the Cleveland

Benjamin Karr, in the Cleveland
Leader, says that, in advance, it is
certain that the census now in pro-
gress will show that there are at
least so cities in the United States
which are above the 100, 600 limit in
population. Of these cities not less
than 25 will be found above the
200, 600 mark. There will be 16 or II
beyond 300, 900. Ten or IL will eX-
ceed 400, 900. Cities in the 500, 900
class will be eight, all told. There
were six in 1900 In the last 10
years only Pittsburg and Cleveland
have climbed into that small circle.
Five cities will be shown to be above
the 600, 900 line. Four will be over
200, 900, in all probability. Three
will certainly exceed 400, 600, and
two will be we'll past 1900, 900. The
population of New York Will be at
least 4, 5OO 900. 1t is probable that
the metropolis will show 4, 700, 900
inhabitants or even more.
There can be no change in the rel
ative position of any of the five
cities in the United States, since
1900. Baltimore will probably con-
tinue to hold the sixth place, Just
below Boston, but there is a chance
that Pittsburg may take that rank
away. Pittsburg will crowd Cleve-
land out of seventh place, but that
change will be due wholly to the an
nexatiOn of Allegheny. The growth
of Pittsburg, other than that which
was caused by the absorption of it's
big suburb, has been far below the
increase in the Ohio city. A little

gnes ayv changes. Pittsburg, surely,
