HUNTINGTONNOW
WARD OF INDIANA

Earl Huntington. who earned the
reputation of being the most arrested
man in Wayne county. will be unable
for least year and no doubt longer
to live up to his reputation, as he was
removed yesterday to the Michigan
City. state penitentiary to serve term
of from one to fourteen years, for con-
viction Of the charge of petit larceny.
Huntington's record for many years
is chiefly record of Imprisonment.
1t was written on his commitment
papers that he had been convicted and
served time on % separate charges.
On account of this fact it is believed
by the local authorities that he will
be confined at the state prison longer
than the minimum time. Huntington
was taken to Michigan City yesterday
by Deputy Sheriff Clarence Mote as
sisted by Ed Morel He had nothing
to say on the eve of his departure.

London, April 27.-On May 81,
which is the Official birthday of George
Y. the king will announce full list
of ennoblings, whereby the ranks OF
knighthood and baronetage will be
swelled considerably. The kings
birthday is practically the eve of the
great coronation revels, and it is Ger.
tain that his majesty. under the sway
of the liberal government, will be gen
erOus in the matter of birthday honors
There are whispers that at the sug'
gestion of Queen Mary, Miss Ellen
Terry will be created a Lady in her
own right" Should this prediction be
realized, the famous actress will be
known as "The Lady Terry" but
there would be no heritage of her
rank. The creation of Lady in heI
own right" is equivalent to knfghthood
and is form of recognition which il
not in general use.
Incidental to the wholesale increase
in creations, this epigram has made
England chuckle: 1T is more noble K
be q commoner and most common t.

lANIMOSITY BETWEEN
COURT AND LAWYERS
Impossible to Determine if
Helm Committee Was In
vestigating Present or For
mer Legislators.
(American News service)

Chicago, May 6.-Judge Petit today
discharged Edward Tilden, George
Benedict and William c. Cummings on
habeas corpus proceedings. This re-
lieves them from having to appear be-
fore the state senate committee to an
swer questions and produce docu-
ments in connection with the alleged
Lorimer corruption fund This prac-
tically chokes of further investigation
into the alleged bribery.
The decision was result of habeas
corpus proceedings instituted by Til
den's attorneys when he was arrested
for contempt in refusing to produce
the documents demanded by the COM
mittee.
In announcing his decision which
was contained in lengthy opinion
Judge Petit declared that it was i'm
possible to tell whether the Helm COM
mittee was investigating present or
former members of the legislature in
the Lorimer scandal. His ruling is
expected to have the effect of choking
of all further investigation of the
bribery charges made by the commit
tee.
One peculiar feature of the case was
the animosity shown between the
court and the attorneys for the state
senate, who practically charged
Judge Petit with prejuding the case
On the day the men were arrested a
temporary writ of habeas corpus was
granted to them by Judge Petit. II
was alleged that the writ was applied
Tor saAds 0btained before the men even
were arrested. The investigating com
mittee will hold another session in
Springfield on Monday. Attorney j
Healy. representing the committee
would not say whether the ruling
would cause the committee to cease
it's operations. 1t was said at the
court building however, that after the
habeas corpus proceedings had been
sustained the committee would be
practically helpless. with the circui,

Glen Echo Couple Fall in
Love on Railway.

Their spirits undampened by the
rain, or by the fact that June 13 is con-
sidered an unlucky day, Marcellus
Smith, twenty-one years old, and Miss
Orrie Weaver, seventeen years old, both
of Glen. Echo, yesterday evaded paren-
tai vigilance and fed to Baltimore,
where they were married.
They returned home last night, and
the brides father, Thomas A. Weaver,
councilman of Glen Echo. forgave
them when the news was stammered
out by Mr.. Smith.
The bridegroom is the chief engi-
neer of the miniature railroad at Glen
Echo. and the romance started on one
of the tiny trains. Miss Smith visited
the amusement place at shorter and
shorter intervals, until friendship
turned to love, and plans for a secret
marriage were made.
A Baltimore clergyman, Rev. Dr..
Rodenberg, consented to perform the
ceremony upon their arrival in that
city. and they made a quick return to
Glen Echo. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith will
not go on a honeymoon just yet. but
will cooperate in running the railroad.

Many who pilot cars speed over un-

reckless abandon, the driver trusting TO
his brakes to stop to avoid an accident,
