Her Credit Was Strained

A young country merchant who had
something of reputation for close
figuring was especially attentive to
the village schoolma'am The young
woman had sweet tooth and was not
at all retiring about making the fact
known. Accordingly, she limited to
her admirer that a box of chocolates
would be greatly appreciated on tho
occasion Of his next visit. Later tho
suggestion was repeated and again
duly needed. The third time the sub
ject was preached, however, the dis
penser Of sweets turned a deaf ear tn
the entreaty.

of Henry Clay Pierce OF st. Louis, the
oil magnate, to annual his marriage to
Mrs. Bessie Chapman Pierce. was tried
in the supreme court today. No de-

The petition denied that any agree

be defended. Young Pierce did not
appear, but his father told In detail his
objections TO his sons wife and also
said he had refused to pay her 325. 900,
which his son demanded to recompense
her for tho income she had lost by
reason of her marriage to Pierce.

make the trip from the coast to the
capital in safety. E
Good assurances that the terms OF
the armistice are going to be respect
ed by the principal leaders were made
today. Luis Moya in the north seems
willing to obey his chief, but from the
south rumors of obdurateness on the
part Of Ambrosio Figueroa have been
frequent. The battle at Cuantla was
fought by his men. 1t was begun be-
fore the news of the signing of the
armistlce was received but It was fin
ished only yesterday.
The next point of attack by the
FlgIeroa forces was to have been
Cuernavaca and this was the day
fixed upon. A committee succeeded
In getting promises that the battle Of
Cuernavaca would be postponed. The
city has not been attacked. thus en-
livening the hope that Figueroa in
tends to obey the orders of Madero.
At the Red Cross headquarters ord
ers were issued for physicians and
nurses to be sent to Cuernayaca and
this gave rise to story that Cuer-
navaca had been attacked, but the
truth Is they will be sent via Cuer-
navaca to Cuatla to care for the in
jured there.
Tonight there are heard the usual
Saturday night rumors of trouble In
the capital on Sunday but there ap-
pears no basis for them.

cincinnati, May 20.-Deciaring that
the county prosecutor, a Judge Of the
court OF common please and perhaps
also the January grand jury. had con-
spired to deprive George b. Cox of
his constitutional rights. Judge Dick
son today ordered the indictments
against the republican leader quashed.
Immediately thereafter Prosecuting At
torney Hunt took steps to have the
case appealed to the higher court, his
object being : to prolong the life Of
the indictments and force Cox to trial
on charges Of perjury.
Practically. Cox is free by the deci-
sion today OF Judge Dickson. and the
only hope of the prosecutor is In OBJ
tanning reversal Of that decision Oh
grounds Of error sufficient to allow
him to present the alleged facts to
some subsequent grand jury for new
indictment. If he falls In his appeal
today's decision will operate to pre-
vent this. in that Judge Dickson
found the perjury indictments re-
turned last February and March de-
fcctive in substance.
A Conspiracy.
The undisputed evidence shows"
said Judge Dickson, that the grand
jury and the prosecuting attorney and
the judge OF the court, Frank NJ. Cor
man. sitting In room No. s. entered in
to conspiracy deliberately to deprive
the accused Of his constitutional rights
and TO have him rushed to Batavia.
Clermont county. Ohio, without any
hearing whatever.
Tho affidavits of Mr. Hunt are
lengthy. Thus 1t was impossible for
Judge German to have read or to
have heard them as the law requires.
The whole transaction did not occupy
five minutes. 1t Is to be hoped that
the grand jury were innocent and
were misled and were not parties to
that conspiracy
sons "action" was no surprise to the
people OF this county. His decision.
he said, Is not the law and win be
held erroneous by the supreme court
of Ohio.
Rstirss From Politics.
In an official statement which will
be published tomorrow morning.
George b. Cox announces his retire.
ment from politics. He says in part:
Il take this opportunity to announce
publicly my withdrawal from active
politics. / have faithfully served the
people through the republican party
for 26 years. henceforth / shall devote
myself to business and my own COM
fort"
On two previous occasions at least
MIR. Cox has made similar announce
mcnts. but subsequently returned TO
the leadership Of his party. When
questioned on this point he said:
"Other announcements OF my re-
tirement were made In absolute good
faith insofar as I myself was con-
cerned. On both occasions political
exigencies, circumstances over which
I had no control. compelled me to re-
assume a leadership which would
gladly have laid down on those oc-
casions."
The retirement OF Mr.. Cox a few
months In advance OF an important
impending municipal election viii un-
doubtedly cause great scurrying
about the republican party.
