TenpOrarY LnII.

Cincinnati. April S.-Today wit
messed the first temporary lull in the
George B. Cox perjury case since the
return Of the Indictment against the
Hamilton county Republican leader
on February 21. The questions of
who shall ultimately try Cox and
whether the hearing shall be in Ham
ilton or Clermont county are now up
to the Ohio supreme court and no
further steps viii be taken by either
side until these are decided.
Prosecutor Hunt has been granted

Results Depend.
If the supreme court holds that
Judge Hunt had no authority to pass
on the Cox prejudice affidavit against
Judge German, then the designation
of another judge is void and anything
Judge Dickson may have done be-
comes a nulllty.
If Judge Hunt has the powers of

duty to act on the prejudice affidavit
of rosecutor Hunt against Judge
Dickson and If the affidavit is held to
be sufficient Judge Dickson must va

Should the supreme court hold that

apply to Hamilton county, which Ia
a judicial district under special laws,
the question of the change Of venue
will revert for final determination to

PUBLIC WINS ITS POINT
Elkton Railroad Station To Be Set Back
20 Feet, North Platform Widened
And Jail Curve Gu. Out Ultimately

Town Council on Monday forward
ed to Division Superintendent A. J.
Whitney, OF the P, B. & w. R. R., a
firm and pointed protest, published
elsewhere in this issue. against the
proposed removal of the Elkton Rail-
way Station, four feet only north OF
its present location and insisting that
its transfer for a much greater dis
tance was imperative, as was also
the removal OF the .ence along the
North platform, to secure the safety
of people bound to or from the sta
ton or boarding or leaving trains
Mr.. Whitney arrived here on Thurs
day and met President Mitchell and
other members OF Council. The sub
ject OF the public's peril at the sta
ton, from its location and the nearby
Jail curve was gone over, Mr.. Whit
ney finally stating that the building
would be moved twenty feet north
of its present location, giving clear
space OF twenty-eight feet from its
south wall to the southbound track.
The platform along said track would
be widened to sixteen leet double its
present width.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Whitney
that the removal OF the Pottery"
houses, on North street, would lessen
the danger from the Jail curve, but
he stated that its ultimate removal was
purposed, diverting the tracks Tar
ther to the north.
Pending the cutting out OF the curve
the arrangement proposed is the best
solution OF the problem that can be
made, as it will lessen the public
peril and the company's responsible
ity. With the curves removal, Elk
ton may get what it ought to have
an up-to-datc station, located south
of the tracks.
1t was understood that the station
building was to be moved four feet,
as at first proposed, today, but the
change OF plan will require several
more days for the preliminary work.
