The Second U. P. Sabbath
School of Big Cove, held their
picnic last Thursday in Mr.. M. M.
Kendall's orchard. The young
folks enjoyed a great romp, and
older ones discussed issues of the
day. A big supper was served
on the lawn in the rear of the
dwelling house, and the table
no, the table did not "groan, "
because the snowy linen was
spread on the ground-was COM
pletely covered with good things,
and we have no doubt that some
of the guests "groaned" that
night. When Mr.. McQuade was
caught at the close of the feast
with his hat full Of cake, he
placed the blame for the extra
supply on the ladies who passed
the cake. "Groaned!" Well,
ask the local Editor.

HABEAS CORPUS CASE
FOR OROZCO STARTS
Aged Rebel Colonel and Gen. De Ia
Fuenta Are Taken TO Austin,
Where They Seek Release.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 4.-InYOlving the
question of whether or not the federal
government may order the detention Of
individuals without warrant by the mil
itary to prevent the violation of the
neutrality law. the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings at which Pascual OrOzcO, ST.,
and Gen David De Ia Fuente, alleged
Mexican rebel leaders, are held ~ Fort
Sam Houston, are seeking release, was
begun here today before judge Maxey,
of the federal district court.
1t develops that the test of the presi-
dents power on this line has been
brought out, after careful consideration
of the question at cabinet meetings
The government contends that section
IA, of the criminal code, which author
ICES the president to use the army to
prevent violatio- Of the neutrality
law, carries with it authority to order
the detention of individuals even when
sufficient facts are not at hand to JUS
tify swearing out warrants for their
arrest by civil authorities
The prisoners were brought here to-
day under military guard. The Ques-
ton may reach the United States su-
preme court.
Counsel for Orozco denied that the
president had the right TO order the
arrest Of anyone except under due
process of law and said he would show
that this is the first time IN history
that a president has ever tried to eXer-
else such discretion.
United States district attorney Boyn-
ton admitted that there is not sufficient
ground on which to base a charge
were held by the military authorities
with the hope Of turning them over to
the civil authorities but that the time
this would be done was indefinite.

arrive again at JuareZ within three or
four days.
It is denied officially that any troops
were landed at Guzman to march over
land to the assistance of Gen. Blanc0.
1t is said that Blanco has two mortars
defending Ascension, and that there is
little fear that Salazar's rebels will at
tack the town.

ence of Orozco in the field is verified
by adTices received by the Mexican Sc
cret service.
From the direction pursued by Gen
Orozco, he will strike the Mexican Cen
trail railway just north of the City OF
Chihuahua, the state capital. He then
will be in a position to cooperate with
the various rebel groups operating in
Chihuahua state about Juarez.
Assurance that OrOzcO remains in the
