Claims That Law Providing for

Another attempt will be made in
the recorders court by the attorneys
for the accused aldermen to have the
trials take place In Wayne county.
Failing in this last attempt, the attor-
neys will appeal TO the Michigan SUI
preme court.
Judge Phelan has made an order
granting a change OF venue In the
cases and has given the attorneys ~
days In which TO perfect an appeal TO
the supreme court Attorney James
Mcnamara announced, Tuesday. that
before going to the supreme court, the
lawyers will make a motion in the re-
corder's court TO have Judge Phelan
vacate his order Mcnamara has pre-
pared an exhaustive brief setting up
reasons why the court should vacate
the order. He questions the constitu-
tionality OF the law providing for a
change of venue in criminal cases.
MY understanding is that the de-
Tense was granted 10 days In which
to submit this brief TO Judge Phelan,"
said Mr. Mcnamara to The Times
He may vacate his order or he may
reopen the entire case again aud lis
ten TO new arguments why a change
OF venue should not be granted. Our
principal contention In the brief to be
substituted to the court Is that the
state law is unconstitutional
Now, IL Judge Phelan refuses TO

supreme court for a writ OF mandamus
and he will be asked to show cause
why his order should not be vacated.
The prosecutor will then appear with

Judge Phelan informed The Times
that the 10 days stay was granted 20

He said, however. that the defense

Jack Roses Story.

There is a certain likeness between the
testimony given by Jack Rose in tie
Becker trial in New York Saturday and
that Of Harry Orchard in the Steunen-
burg murder case AT Boise. Idaho. several
wears ago. The same stole quality was
manifested in the case of the two wit
nesses- Each told an amazing tale OF
conspiracy and crime and each impressed
most thinking people of his truthfulness.
In the Orchard case. the actual SLAYER
himself was on the stand telling how he
mad been hired TO kill not only the former
governor OF the state. but other men
whom certain labor leaders wished to
nave put out of the way. He protested

Whatever may have been his motive or
guidance. il is indisputable that he told

ever related. No less extraordinary.

Fighting for a Rich Prize.

Whatever may he tire result of the
worlds series of ball games in terms OF
the championship or the financial earn
ings Of players and clubs, 1t is assured
that the games will go into the history
OF the sport as the most remarkable
that have ever been played to date in
the entire range OF interleague contests
Including Saturdays game not one has
been decided by more than two-run
margin Three have been won by sin
gle run and one has been tied after
eleven innings OF desperate struggle. In
every game the result might
have been overturned by single hit or
a single error In none of the contests
has a pitcher been SO we'll assured Of
victory that he could ease up i'm his work
or take chances on the fielding. In
every game the men in the pitchers box
have had to consider each ball delivered
as possibly marking a crisis. In the ordi-
nary run OF the sport in five successive
ball games one at least is almost GER
tain to he sufficiently One-sided to give
confidence in the latter innings Though
the last game or games-there will be
but one more If Boston wins it. but more
than one if New York should take the
sixth contest-may be Of this walk
away sort. sstili the series will stand as
a remarkable case of two evenly
matched teams battling to the last ounce
of their strength and with their utmost
skill for supremacy that means fortune

the course of his answers to questions
as he has testified to the develop0ont Of
a motive for the removal OF Herman
RosenthaI and the giving of orders by his
master. an officer Of the police force. for
Rosenthars assassination. Were 1t not
for the corroborative circumstances and
the testimony which it is expected other
witnesses will give ia support of Roses
assertions. it wouId he difficult to believe
that so -blooded a crime could be
plotted by a man sworn to support anu
enforce the law. himself a pursuer of
criminals. IT is evident that the defense
will endeavor to break down Roses testi-
mOny by indicating that he had as strong
motive as it is alleged Becker had for
the removal of Kosenthal. and that it was
he who on his own account hired the
gunner who killed the gambler. Rose
acknowledges certain animosities against
Rosenthal. just as he acknowledges hav-
ing lied and forged. He sets up no claim
TO respectability or honor, according to the
ordinary standards of society, avows
himself to have been a collector of graft
for the accused police officer and. there
fore, engaged in an illegal business, and
altogether gives the impression of a man
who is now in the supreme crisis telling
the truth. Horrible as the suggestion is.
there is unfortunately no reason to doubt
that the police corruption in New York
had so utterly demOralized certain men,
bers of the force that murder was quite
as calmly regarded as part OF the game
as the framing up of false charges or
gun-carrying against sansmen and stool
pigeons or the conducting Of fake raids
against gambling houses and other ilie-
gal resorts in order to coerce payments.
II is evident that Jack Roses story is
only the beginning of series of revela-
tons that. however much discounted by
the already known circumstances. will
shock the country.

Our Adopted Sons Go to War.
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post
War in the Balkans" is a far-off, I'M
real newspaper event, no matter how
much we may read OF 1t. But when We
see 300 Of our own young Greeks. break
ing their plans for American citizenship,
donning their uniforms as 'resei visits in
the Greek army, and marching through
our own streets to Polk street depot to
go to the 'front.'" this distant conflict
takes on a realea' meaning. 1t Is just as
hard for wives and mothers along Blue
Island avenue to send their boys to the
field OF battle today as 1t was for the
wives and mothers of Chicago to do that
same thing in 1881. And II is right that
Chicago should feel in the going OF those
300 young men some OF the same pride
that she felt when her own sons went to
war; For in her adopted sons has come
her great strength. The "Thrce Hun
dred" should go forth from our streets
with the stirring Cry Of their fathers ring
ing in their ears; Honor and Victory.'
