GUST JUDGE GORMAN
Cincinnati Jurist Declares Law
Governing Matter Does Not
Reach Hamilton County

CINCINNATI, March 20.-Georghe B.
Cox's affidavit of prejudice against
Judge Frank German, by which the iu-
dicted political leader sought to bring
his case before some other jurisS or
the court of common pleas, was thrown
out of court by Presiding Judge Charles
Hunt in a decision handed down today.
Judge Hunts decision was that the
statute providing for the filing of pref
udice affidavits to swear judges Off the
bench is so framed that it applies to
other counties of Ohio, but not to Ham
ilton county. He, therefore. refused t.
act on the Cox affidavit
Judge Hunt suggested that If there
is any question whether he has the
power to act on the affidavit. a man
damus proceedings be brought IN order
to have the upper courts determine
whether the law does apply to Hamil-
ton county.
He found that "the affidavit is suf-
ficient in law and in fact to give the
supervising judge of the common pleas
court Jurisdiction to act, but in Ham
ilton county there is no supervising
Judge The law is not applicable to
this county"

MANY CHURCH MEMBERS
STAY AWAY FROM CHURCH

NEW YORK, March 2O.-There are
$4,000 members of Christian churches on
Manhattan island who did not attend
church worship yesterday morning. OF
these 2S5,OO0 were men. OF the absentees
4O5, 900 were Roman Catholics and 1900
Protestants. The Catholic church claims
go, 900 members and the Protestant
churches 151,O00.
This is the result OF a census Of
church attendance undertaken in every
church in New York city yesterday by
the New York Church association, which
gathers statistics of all kinds regard
ing the churches of the city.
The report of the associatio' :, from COM
PARSONS with similar statistics Of a
decade ago, show that the average New
York church does not decline in mem
bership or financial resources. 1t grows
slowly, however.
Most of the churches" the report
says, "are in good condition spiritually
and otherwise Unorthodoxy is not trou-
bling them. But attendance upon public
religious worship stands about where it
did FIVE or ten years ago in proper
ton OF number of members. There are
the same number of strangers, and they
are of course included in. statistics Of
attendance. Membership lists are better
kept than formerly"

GASOLINE ENGINES
GIVE FARMS WATER

JACKSON. Ca, March 2O-The install
Iation of gasoline engines for the pur-
pose of furnishing water and sewerage
by the farmers of Butts county is a
movement that has resulted in great
good and is destined to make farm life
more attractive. Already several OF the
leading farmers of this county have in
STALE 4 gasoline engines and waterworl1s
on their farms and many are taking
no the movement as the practically of IT
is proven.
BY means of a water tower so or more
feet high a sufficient pressure can be
obtained to furnish all the water for
the stock on the plantation and in ad-
dition for the home In this way ex-
cellent sewerage connection Is obtained
No less than a dozen of the best citi-
zens OF the county have such plants In
operation on their farms and they are
highly pleased with its success. The cost
OF operating the gasoline engines is in
significant The water towers probably
are the greatest expense. The complete
plant can be put in for 500 or $500.
This movement, together with the ru-
rail- free delivery Of mail, Is proving that
farm life can be made as attractive, II
not more so. than city life. and at a
much less expense. The movement start
ed about a year ago is meeting with
great favor among the people In all sec
tious OF the county. This movement,
together with the building Of rural teie-
phone lines. in Butts county excels' ana
the use of motorcycles In carrying the
mail. and the goods roads movement
staups Butts county as one of the most
progressive in the state.

OF THE sun
THEME FOR SCIENTISTS
Marked Advance Being Made
in Long Distance Weather
Forecasts
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, March Embarked adj
vances in the science of agriculture and
in long distance weather forecasts will be
adopted If an investigation now being
conducted by the Smithsonian institution
prove that the radiation of the sun va
ries, producing a corresponding change in
the earth's temperature. DR.. c. G. ABB
bott, director of the astro-physical OBJ
servatory of the institution, confidently
predicts that the sun variation theory
will be proven, which would constitute a
great astronomical achievement.
Tests are in progress at the observatory
in this city at Mount Whitney and at
Mount Wilson and DIR. Abbott has estab-
lished a station in the cloudless region
of southern Mexico, for which congress
appropriated 5000. Observations will be
made both in Mexico and Mount Wilson
and if the two sets of measurements
agree, the conclusion will be deemed
proven The expedition to Mexico will
be made in July.
DR.. Abbott found that the observations
at Mount Whitney check and substan-
tiate completely the work done at Mount
Wilson. Therefore" declares DR.. Alb
bott having established a standard
scale of measurement with the same re-
suits at Washington, Mount Wilson and
Mount Whitney, we now are able to state
the value of solar constant of radiation.
This value is of an Importance equal to
that of the distance of the sun in astro-
nomical work. Our measurements show a
range of the value of the solar radia-
ton outside of our world atmosphere OF
about per cent.
Now by taking stations so far apart
that no local conditions in the atmos-
phere can affect them both, we may ac-
tually prove whether or not these varia-
tions are in the sun or are something
we have not eliminated in the atmos-
phere. If we find them in the sun we
shall have made a discovery of the first
rank"
