LICENSE LAW FOR
AUTOS INVALID?
Manner of Passage Believed to
Have Been Faulty-New
Bill Ready.

Springfield, H., April 23.-The au-
tomobile license law, under which
nearly 100000 has been collected by
the state, has been found to have
been passed unconstitutionally, meas
ured by the pattern by which the SUI
preme court knocked out the omni-
bus Appropriation bill in the Neiber-
ger case against the University of IL
linois.
The discovery resulted from an in
vestigation made by Chairman Homer
]. Tice of the house good roads CON-
mittee. 1t was found the final draft
of the bill had been reported to both
senate and house by a conference
committee during the last night of
the 1909 session, and that the report
had been adopted without the consti-
tutional preliminary of having the
amendments printed.
Mr.. Tice yesterday introduced a
new bill carrying all of the old law,
and in addition provides that the
100000 lying in the state treasury,
which cannot be expended without
specific appropriation, be paid out to
the respective counties for state aid
roads, the latter TO be specified by
the legislation now pending.

NO CHANGE IN The
STATUS OF STRIKE
Although Industrial Workers
Claim That Victory Is Now
in Sight.

The strike situation, as regards the
Rock Island Sash & Door works, is
practically unchanged A prominent
de egate of the Industrial Workers of
the World this afternoon predicted
that the entire plant would be closed
down tomorrow
This strike will be a victory" he
continued. The Industrial Workers
of the World have yet to lose a bat
tie of this kind. In view of the COM
pany officials they state that they have
received no demands from the men,
we have to say that a committee of
20 men handed the copy of demands
TO officials, and the document was &C
cepted, the officials stating they would
look same over. | can bring 20 men
to prove what say. The statement in
the papers that the shop had closed
down, was given out by men unauthor-
lied TO make such a statement, and
the information did not come from
the strike committee"

FOUNDATION FOR
. CHARGE IS LAID
IN COURT ROOM
While Ralph D. Martin Re-
pulses Wife, Warrants Are
Prepared.

Dismissed from charges of wife
abandonment and then promptly re-
arrested, was the fate of Ralph D.
Martin of Moline this morning in the
county court Martin is the young
man who eloped with his nurse, mar
ried her and then later set up the
claim that undue influence had been
exerted on him when he was i'll and
partly out of his mind.
The hearing of the case started
Monday and the state finished this
morning, whereupon the defendant
attorney, W. A. Weld, filed a motion
to instruct for the defendant on the
grounds that the court here had NO
| jurisdiction as at the time the case
was started by former States Attor,
ney l. M. Magill, the complaining
witness was in Louisiana. The rule OF
| the court sustained the motion.
| Then followed an impromptu vaude
vile which amused a courtroom full
Of interested spectators.
Mrs. Martin approached her es
tranged husband and asked him to be
reconciled and to take her back. He
refused and walked away. She fol
lowed him and round and round ia
bic they went, she enueating him tC
take her back and he refusing.
This action furnished the founda
ton for a charge of re-abandonment
and while the young man walked
away from his wife, a new charge
was sworn out against him and he
was re-arrested. The new case viii
come up for hearing sometime mex
week probably.
