Faithful Jeremiah Prosecuted.

SeIfwilled. the king and his princes

should have realized that the nation
was Gods and that Jeremiah alone was
standing faithfully with the great King
When the Chaldean army had with
drawn from the siege. Jeremiah con
cluded to cast in lot with some Of
the nation living outside the city walls
in the portion of the tribe of Ben
jamin. Attempting to do this he was
arrested on the charge of disloyalty-
that he had given himself over to CO.
work with the Chaldeans against the
interests of his own land. Although he
denied the charge he was put into
prison.
Jerusalem was honeycombed with un-
foreground eisterns and vaults, arched
overhead, and these were called cab

voirs for water in time of drought or
in time of siege The bottoms of these
cabins or cisterns, after the removal

mud and slime. The next chapter tells
us of the terrible condition of the
dungeon into which jeremiah was put

the cords. In this dungeon the Prophet
remained many days.
Not from sympathy, not from right

of the Prophet respecting the future,
the king had him taken out of the dun

At his entrealy he was no longer put

granted daily a loaf OF bread for his

MAYOR GOT BACK At DAWSON
ATTORNEY GENERAL CLASHES
WITH WIcHITA's EXECUTIVE.
Wanted to Parole Women Taken In
Raids, But Mlnick Insists
on Prosecution.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 1.-Maycr
Walter Minick of Wichita and John
Dawson, attorney general, are in q
mix-lp over the disposal of the large
number of women arrested last week
by Dawson and his assistants in raids
upon disorderly houses. A number Of
men were taken in the raids as well.
Mr.. Dawson, when the cases against
the unfortunates were called In police
court, suggested that they be paroled
and permitted to leave iowa. One
plan was to send one hundred of
them to Kansas City. Each had ap-
pealed from an adverse decision on
the part Of Police Judge Senders and
cash bond had been furnished in each
instance.
These people win not be paroled,"
said Mayor Minlck, and they will
not be- sent out of town The city
,Of Wichita viii not lend q hand to
ANY such plan"
Mr.. Dawson advanced the theory
that 1t would be possible to get a
cut rate for the delinQuents and ship
them to their homes, chamering a
single car on some railroad for the
purpose. Anything to snt them out
lOf Wichita, for 1t is Mr., nawson's
dream to make Wichita a clean town.
-'You win prosecute these people"
said Mayor Minick to the attorney
general. when we notified .j0tntists
to close and they closed for q certain
length of time we were reprimandel
from Topeka, and now IL you think
you can come here and arrest a sot
Of women and escape prosecuting
them you are mistaken"
Mr.. Dawson made no reply The
cases that have not been heard in
pelice court have been set over until
next Friday. The women are still
here.

TO ASK HELP IN
4 DIVORCE CASES
Kansas Judges Favor Appointment
Of Special Examiners.
MAY ASK LEGISLATURE TO ACT
Suggest Law Providing for Special
Attorney to Act In Cases Where
the Evidence 10
III Incomplete.

Topeka, Nov. 1.--Kansas attorneys
and especially judges Of the district
courts are taking great deal Of In
terest In the plan suggested by Judge
Seehorn in Kansas City to have an
examining attorney appear for .he
state in every divorce proceeding. At
the next meeting of the Kansas Bar
association the proposition will be
discussed. The association may ask
the Kansas legislature to provide for
an examination in all divorce cases
before the trial is held.
Judge Thomas G. Wilson Of the
first division of the Sedgwick county
district court, both judges Of the two
divisions OF the court in Shawnee
county, Judge J. c. Ruppenthal OF
Hays and several other judges have
expressed the belief that divorces are
often granted unfairly simply because
Of q lack Of information on the part
Of the Judge.
In the last few years there have
been several divorce cases Appealed
to the supreme court because the
Judge of the lower court refused to
grant a divorce because he did not
feel that all the proper information
was at hand when he was asked to
Grant the decree. There have been
numerous cases recently wherein q
husband has appealed his case to
tns supreme court because some ad.
vantage had been taken of him and
he did not feel that he had been
given q square deal and that justice
had been done when the decree was
granted.
The judges, who have written let
ters to the attorney general and mem
bers Of the supreme court, say that
1t is not at all necessary to have an
examination In every case but in the
larger cities of the state they say
that at every term there are from one
to q dozen divorces which the judges
feel really should not be granted but
they have no Information which would
permit them to refuse the decree.
Judge Wilson has often refused to
grant divorces unless attorneys ap'
peared for both sides. Sometimes
this is not n necessary precantion,
but often 1t Is taken because there
are some Appearances Of chicanery on
the part of the applicant. The evil
does not appear often except in the
larger cities. The judges believe that
they should be permitted to name a
special attorney to investigate d.
vorce cases where the evidence is
incomplete and have this attorney
make a thorough investigation before
the decree is granted.

FEDERAL CONTROL
Of THE RAILROADS
Supreme Court Decision Fayors Com
merce Commission.
COMMISSIONERS ARE JUBILANT
Conflict Of Authority Between Stats
and Federal Officers Eliminated
Decision is Far Reaching
and Important.

Washington, Oct. 81. Complete
control of all the railroads Of the
country by the interstate commerce
commission, and virtual elimination
of the state commissions from such
control, Is foreshadowed in an opinion
handed down by the supreme court
Of the UEiited States. The court held
that hereafter all locomotives, cars
or other equipment used ON any rail
road which is q highway Of inter
state commerce, must comply with
the federal safety appliance act.
In its opinion the court held that
compliance with federal law is com
pulsory on all railroads which are en-.
gagged IN the transportation of persons
or freight from one state ito another.
Elaborating this, however, it held that
the cars or equipment Of such roads,
even II engaged in such transporta-
tion Within the confines of "a state,
must be considered as part and parcel
of the road and therefore, eomIaetely
under the Jurisdiction Of the federal
commission.
Members of the interstate com
merce commission, who have been
embarrassed on numerous occasions
by clashes Of authority with state
commissions, are jubilant at the rul-
ing OF the supreme court which WAS
unanimous.
The decision Of the court generally
IL regarded Is Of far reaching sig
nificance and Importance. 1t viii en-,

force, practically without question.
