LOONEY ORDERED
TO STAND TRIAL
Motion to Quash Indictments
Against Him and His
Writer Overruled.

The Peoria Star prints the following
account of the first days proceedings
in the Looney-Jordan case before the
United States court at Peoria:
Peoria, Oct. 23.-Failure to quash the
indictment against John Looney, pub
Usher of the Rock Island News, charg-
ed with mailing obscene and filthy mat
ter, was followed in the United States
court yesterday by the granting OF a
motion whereby his case was contin-
ued until the April term, upon the
strength of affidavits from two physi-
clans setting forth serious illness.
His contributing editor, Myron Jor-
dan. did not fare so well, for the mo-
ton to continue his case also, on the
ground that Looney would certify to
certain facts. were he able TO be pres
ent, was overruled and the case will go
to trial today.
John Looney and Myron Jordan were
jointly indicted on the same charge,
which grew out Of the fact that on
Saturday, March %, 1912. a lurid and
scandalous article was published in the
Rock Island News and circulated
throlgh the mails setting forth the al
legged adventures of Mayor Schriver
Of Rock Island and two companions
while on a visit to Peoria during the
previous week. This article was head
ed "Schriver's Shame" in large letters
running across the front page of the
publication and the entire page was
devoted to revolving details of a wild
and prolonged debauch told in language
that might pass in a barroom, but
which was wholly unfit for ears or eyes
polite
COURT HEARS SAMPLE.
BY an arrangement between counsel
and the court it was agreed that the
two motions, one to quash and the
other for a continuance, should be
heard yesterday, and when the case
was called. Shelton McGrath of the
law firm of Quinn, Quinn & McGrath
presented first his motion to quash on
the ground that the counts in the in
diCtment failed to show a violation of
common law or of the statutes of the
United States. He declared that the
article did not come within the mean
ing of the statute in which the indict-
ment was brought, and requested H.
A. Converse. prosecuting attorney for
the United States, to point out those
portions of the article that were OBJ
jected to. Attorney Converse declared
that the entire article was too long to
read, but that it was filled with vile
descriptions in detail and from begin
ming to end was lewd and lascivious.
For the enlightenment of the court, he
read one paragraph and was informed
that it was enough, and the demurrer
to the Indictment was overruled
HAS PARALYTIC STROKE.
Attorney McGrath then presented a
motion for a continuance until the
April term and followed it with three
| attidavits, one from LOoney himself
and the other two from his attending

Mariposa Hits
 Uncharted Rock

While steaming southward off Point Baker early last Friday morning, the big steamer Maripo. sa, of the Alaska Steamship Com- pany's fleet, struck an uncharted rock but miracuiously escaped ser ious damage, Several trollers fishing nearby who we're eyewit- nesses to the Mariposa's mishap, report she struck with great force rising high on the rock and swing. ing partially around then sliding off sidewise. The fishermen for miles around were aroused by the shock of the ship and had the dam- age been SD great as to cause the ship to founder there would have been scores of fishboats immediate ly at hand 10 offer assistance in landing the passengers.
 The ships pumps we're started as quickly ns possible and after d short delay het engines were start ed and she proceeded on her way.
 The lock which the Matiposa touched is far outside the last chatted rock and has only recently been discovered by tfollers who happened to foul their gear on it's peak. At ordinary stages of tide 1t is well covered but the Mafiposa happened by at low water when there was an extremely big run out.
