May Postpone Criminal Action.

Judge German suggested that motion
for the delay Of the criminal trials might
properly be filed, pending an adjustment
of the civil suits. He also allowed the
attorneys until Wednesday to present au-
thority on other questions raised in the
abatement plea. The situation, therefore
is such that there Is little chance that
the paving cases can be called for trial
within the two weeks remaining of the
present court term.
The Cox case procedure depends largely
upon the ruling which Presiding Judge
Charles J. Hunt of the court of common
pleas, is to give Monday regarding the
affidavit of prejudice filed against Judge
German by Cox. If the affidavit is upheld
all preliminary motions in the case. as
we'll as the actual trial. must be heard by
some jurist other than Judge German,
and a readjustment Of court calendars
would be necessary to expedite these
motions. In case the affidavit is dis
missed, it is possible that Judge German
may be able to arrange the affairs of his
court SO as to begin the trial Of Cox be-
fore April 1.
Similar uncertainty prevails as to the
outlook for further work by the grand
jury on the liquor taxes. Prosecuting At
torney Hunt stated a few days ago that
experts are examining the books Of all
breweries doing business in the county.
and that this work might consume two
months.

MAY Sue for Back Taxes.

There was a further intimation today
that civil suits may be filed in an effort
to regain for the county back taxes esti-
mated at 100000. which are said to have
been lost through illegal refunds such as
were exposed by the trial of Jacob Bas-
chang this week.
Indications that the grand jury is to
renew its searchings into the method of
granting and carrying out paving con-
tracts were given today. when a long list
of subpoenas was issued for contractors,
both in Cincinnati and other Ohio cities.
Most of the summons require attendance
Monday morning.
Papers were sent to the sheriff of
Muskingum county to be served on o. NJ.
Townsend. head of a brick and con-
tracing company of GAINESVILLE. requiring
him to bring all correspondence with GER
tain Cincinnati firms regarding three diff
ferent paving projects.

poenas were for Cincinnati men. the list
including A. ]. Henkel & Brothers, two
members Of which firm are already under
indictment.

in the next Congress.
The appointment of the committee on
committees will follow the election of the
republican caucus chairman. Upon that
committee. 1t is generally believed, the
Insurgents will have greater representa-
tion than ever before. There is to be
real and sincere effort to get the re-
publicans together, and that means the
regulars must make some concessions to
the insurgents. And among them will
be large representation on the committee

Gallinger Generally Approved.

The selection of Senator Gallinger, who
Is chairman OF the Senate District COM
mittee, to the Craftsmanship of the re-
publican caucus is being generally ac-
Cepted among the republican senators in
the city. Senator Frye Of Maine has the
call on the craftsmanship. the oldest
senator in point of service, but it is un-
derstood he has declined the honor be-
cause OF feeble health. Senator Cullom
of Illinois is next in line. by seniority,
but his health is not the best.
Senator Gallinger is the next in line.
and, with both Messrs. Frye and Cullom
unwilling. will command the support of
the regulars. Mr.. Gallinger also is liked
by the insurgent republicans, and would
be a most acceptable chairman of the
caucus, so far as the insurgents are con-
cerned. They praise the District COM
mittee chairman for his fairness, for his
knowledge of the Senate rules and for his
familiarity with legislative matters.
The position of chairman of the repub-
iican caucus, while 1t does not necessarily
carry with IL the leadership of the SEN
ate, is important because of the influ-
ence the chairman has over the appoint
ment of the steering committee and of
the committee on committees. While the
naming of those committees is in the
hands of the caucus itself. the chairman
of that caucus has large say in their
makeup if he is not specifically author
lied by the caucus to make the appoint
mentS.

Mrs. Patrick Duffy, Of Butte, Mont,

since their arrival here week ago on

made her first trip to this country many
years ago and she thought II poor plan

much money with them. With this pre-
caution In mind she sent only small
amount of money over the price OF
transportation to her nephew and niece
when she decided 70 bring them 10 this

When they arrived here they had not
enough money with them 70 satisfy the

tanned. Mrs. Duffys nephew, whose
name is John Duffy. is twenty years old.
He was accompanied by his cousin.

thought they were 10 meet her in Chi

vain. Finally, when she learned that
they might be deported on the Caronia,
which sailed yesterday. she boarded the
