Request for Courtesy.

Although American lawyers have no
right to speak in Canadian court
Mr.. La Flamme considered that under
the circumstances this courtesy might
be extended to Mr.. Jerome.
1t is worthy of note in this connec
ton that some twenty-five years ago
J. N. Greenshields, K. c., of Thaw's
counsel was engaged in famous for
gerry case in New York. At that time
although he was the chief counsel for
the defense. he was permitted to take
no part in the court proceedings. BY
way of returning good for evil Mr.
Greenshields has added his request to
that of Mr.. La Flamme that Mr.
Jerome be permitted personally to
handle New York's interests before the

!rregularity in Proceedings of
immigration Officers
Is Cited.

MONTREAL, September 9.-hccordine
one Of the main hopes of the defense in
the Thaw deportation proceedings, aside
from the fight against the immigration
act itself, is an alleged irregularity III
the proceedings taken by the immigra-
ton officers. 1t Is contended they die
not have a formal order from the min
lister Of justice to take Thaw in charge
which. the defense claims. is necessary
under the act when the alien affected has
been In the country ten days.
Thaw had been in the country over
fifteen days when he was surrendered
to the immigration officials, and T. r.
z. Minnes, X. c., has made an affidavit
that the immigration men took Thaw in
charge without proper authority.
He states that before the board of in
CURRY he demanded that E. Blake Robert
son. assistant superintendent of immigra-
ton. produce this document and that
the latter declined to do SO.
Another Reason Cited.
The second reason cites to Judges Ger.
vais and Cross in the informal applica.
ton made by Thaw's counsel before the
matter was brought into chambers Fri.
day was the unconstitutionality of the
act
The third point was the alleged mis-.
use of the act to supplement and aid
the enforcement Of law and order in New

LANDMARK
Struck By Lightning And Con.
Sumed By Fire

A large brick house owned by
Isaac Fleming about three miles
west of the city on the Green Val
ley road was destroyed by fire during
the electrical storm Thursday after
noon. The house was vacant and the
fire was not discovered until it had
gained such headway that nothing
could be done to check it. A stroke
of lightning started the fire In the
roof of the building.
The house was discovered to be
burning at about o'clock by persons
residing in the neighborhood. An ef-
fort was Immediately made to ex-
tinguish the flames but to no avail.
The loss was covered by insurance.
The destroyed building was a land
mark having stood for several score
of years. For many years prior to
it's purchase by Mr. Fleming the house
served as homestead for family
by the name of Rinehart.

ANTI-MORMON
Plan To Organize A Party In
Idaho

Washington, Aug. 22.-Informa-
tion has reached this city that there
is probability that new political
party will be formed in Idaho, headed
by former Senator Fred Dubois, and
having for its object rallying of all
the anti-Mormon forces in the state
for united opposition to the control
by that element of tie politics of
Idaho. If the movement is to succeed,
of course, the voters connected with
it must come from the Republican,
the Democrat and the Progressive
parties.
One OF the objects of the proposed
new alignment will be the defeat of
Senator James H. Brady for reelec-
tion, and the selection of senator
picked out by the new party, perhaps
Mr., Dubois himself. For several
weeks Mr. Dubois has been in the
state, sounding out public sentiment.
If there is a chance, it is said, he will
form at once an anti-Mormon party in
Idaho, and the success OF such party
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1913-08-26

there would in all probability lead to
the formation of similar party in
several other intermountain states
where the Mormons have much
strength.
Mr.. Dubois is quoted as having
said recently that there is no factional
fight in Idaho, but that the only divis-
ion the state has is that with the
Mormons on one side and their OPP
ponents on the other. All federal pat
ronage given the state thus far under
the Wilson administration is said to
have been controlled by the Mormons.
The situation is attracting good
deal of attention in this city because
it is believed to foreshadow polite
al contest that must sooner or later
be made in half a dozen states.

Investigations

Investigations concerning the
mysterious disappearance of Chief of
Police R. s. Clements two weeks ago
when his prisoner, Thomas Harring.
ton, escaped from him near the de-
pot at Columbus, have led to sensa-
tional stories and reports in the city
newspapers which, however, could not
be definitely confirmed. The first
actual news of the missing chief was
obtained by his wife at her home on
Elizabeth street when she received
a telephone communication from her
husband from Dayton, Ohio, Thursday
evening.
Owing to the storm the service was
rather unsatisfactory, but the chief
stated to her that he was sick and
would communicate with her later.
He is at the home of Mr.. J. L. Nei-
barger,, former manager of the Bell
Telephone Co. in Mt. Vernon, and is
being taken care of by Mr.. Neibar-
gers family. Chief Clements said
nothing Thursday evening about hav-
ing set time for coming home He
did not state the nature of his illness
and said nothing about his condition
at the present time. Where he has
been during the past two weeks and
when he went to Dayton is net known.
He said nothing about this while talk
ing over the telephone to Mrs. Glenn
ents.
A message from Dayton was re-
ceived Thursday evening from the
authorities there stating that the
missing chief was there and asked
that some one be sent there to bring
him home. Acting Chief McElroy, be-
ing detailed to escort John Smith, a
liquor violator, to the Dayton work
house, was instructed to locate Chief
Clements and to bring him home
when he returned. officer McElroy
will communicate Immediately with
Sheriff Woolison as quickly as he
finds the chief and ascertains his con
dition.

IRE
Destroyed Large Country
Barn Thursday Afternoon

Fire resulting from a lightning
stroke totally destroyed a large barn
belonging to Mr.. Edward Mooy on the
Chesterville road about five miles
northwest of Mt. Vernon Thursday
afternoon. A large amount of grain
and hay besides numerous valuable
farm implements were lost. All of
the live stock was rescued from the
burning building.
During the electrical storm that WIS.,
tied Knox county Thursday afternoon
bolt of lightning struck the roof or
the barn. This was about 5 o'clock.
In spite of the rain which was falling
the roof caught fire and soon the en-
tire upper portion of the building was
blazing briskly. There was no way
to check the flames and all attention
was centered upon removing the
horses, four in number from the
stable. This was accomplished with
very little trouble. A 5000 silo near
the barn was burned. A number of
small outbuildings were also burned
Burning brands were carried from
the barn to the Mooy residence a
short distance away and it, also
caught fire. This was checked, how
ever, before it had gained a great
deal of headway and very little dam
age to the house was done.

Husband Granted Divorce

Husband Granted Divorce
In the alimony case of Mrs. Ella
Shaffer versus Elmer Shaffer, the de-
fendant told the probate court the
tragic story of his learning OF the
waning love of his wife for nim.
The alimony petition had been filed
by his wife, but the case was heard
on the answer and cross-petition of
the husband asking for divorce. In
the alimony petition 1t was alleged
that he had assaulted the wife on the
evening of June 18th of the present
year. When the alimony petition was
filed the defendant Shaffer was in the
Newark Sanitarium as he STATED to
the court, suffering from bruises re-
ceived on that night.
He told the court that he was work
ing for Swartz q Ferdum and on
the evening in question came home
at supper time tired and opened the
front door. He said that the first inti-
nation of trouble was being dealt a
blow over the head with bed slat.
At the same time he fell that he was
being pushed out of the door, and the
effect of the two was ro take him to a
hospital for repairs He admitted to
the court that in the melee he had
grabbed hatchet, but he said that he
did so because he saw 1t lying there
and felt that 1t would make fine evi'
dence for the defense in case OF
actual assault. He felt at the time
that he was the star actor in a first
class assault performance
The court granted him divorce
and dissolved the injunction which
had prevented him from drawing his
earnings from the named firm of local
contractors. Newark American Tri
