CRIMINAL COURT
 JUDGES ARE BUSY
Tears of Mother Fail to Move Judge Fort to
 Modify Sentence

Both judges of the criminal court were kept busy yesterday morning for, in addition to sentencing the prisoners convicted during the week, large number of motions were made and or ders taken. Judge w. E. Fort passed sentence on several persons convicted of violating the revenue law and gave each lecture before and after sen- tence. In the case of & young white man who received a fine of $500 and an additional sentence of three months at hard labor his aged mother made plea for leniency and stated that the boy was her only support. Two of his sisters were also present and shed tears copiously when the judge declined to reduce the sentence. To the mother Judg Fort expressed his deep sorrow for her but stated he had duty to perform that was painful at times but his oath of office and the general good of the community demanded that pun ishment be meted out to those found guilty.
 Judge s. E. Greene sentenced the prisoners convicted during the week who were tried by him and heard sev- eral motions for a new trial, which he refused. The sessions in both divisions yesterday were very strenuous, for in addition to the large number of pris- oners sentenced and the motions enter tained, the minutes for the term had to be signed up.
 Both judges worked early and late last week in order to give as many
 
 the week, the preference being for those confined in jail. The next term of the court will commence January 4, when. in addition to the felony docket set for the week, the grand jury for the Jan- uary term will be organized.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS REFUSED

state courts procedure but one for the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
 The further allegation was made by at
 torneys that the prisoner was denied a
 fair and impartial trial; that the trial was dominated "by a mob hostile, to Frank,
 which unduly incensed and intimidated
 the jury by a demonstration within and
 without the courtroom
 It also was alleged that the state
 courts by reason of Franks absence
 when the verdict was returned lost jur-
 isdiction over his case prior to the
 rendition of g. verdict and the passing
 of sentence.
 Attorneys Henry c. Peoples and Har-
 ry Alexander argued the motion in be-
 half of Frank.
 Warren A. Grice, attorney general
 of Georgia and Solicitor General Hugh
 cution of Frank, were in court pre- pared to contest the issuance of the
 writ.
 MT. Peoples in his argument declared various state supreme courts and the Limited States supreme court had held that the right of a defendant charged with felony to be present at every
 stage of his trial could not be waived by the prisoner or his counsel. This constitutional right of Frank was violated" MT. Peoples asserted because
 at the instance of the state, through the trial judge, Frank was prevented from be- ing present when the verdict was an- nounced owing to the courts fear of vio- lence to the defendant and his counsel Last Resource The lawyer said the habeas corpus pro- ceeding was the last recourse in the courts to save the life of prisoner who had exhausted every other remedy to have the question of his constitutional rights re- viewed
 Attorney Alexander argued that the de- clsion of the state supreme court, which held Frank could not set out the consti- tutional question in a motion to annull the verdict, because it was not made in his original motion for new trial, did not bar the federal courts from considering that constitutional question. MT. Alexander argued that the Georgia courts decision did not prevent the fed eral courts Jurisdiction in habeas cor pus proceeding of question of denial of a defendants right to due process of law in his statutory trial and conviction. "The state courts action lost jurisdic- ton over Franks case when the trial court denied him the right to be present in the court room when the verdict was
 rendered." declared MT. Alexander. "The conviction and sentence of Frank, there fore, are nullity and we claim that Frank is being deprived of his liberty without due process of law; that he Is be. ing held on a void judgment, and that the federal court has Jurisdiction in habeas corpus proceeding to consider whether ol not Frank should be released from GUS | tody."
 | not one of state court procedure. Numer ous decisions were cited in support of hi contention. The constitutional question he declared never has been adjudicated.

iously waiting for a session of the leg islature. They have not forgotten the party platform and it's pledges, the prom ise of relief from the burden of taxation, relief from solvent credits, a more equal system to appropriations retrenchment and the various other beneficial measures that were incorporated in the platform. Hence they are dissatisfied that there is a possibility that ulterior and external influences may attempt to dominate the legislature, and they do not believe that these influences will be tolerated.
 And yet there will surely be an attempt to inject the prohibition question into the considerations of the legislative body. The Rev. Brooks Lawrence and other leaders of the Anti-Saloon league have already begun to organize their forces, and they will no doubt swoop down upon the state capital with all the avidity of an eagle seeking it's prey. To them the public well fare is limited largely to the boundaries enforced by a statewide prohibition meas ure.
 For that reason the Rev. Lawrence and his agents will seek to dominate the house and they will seek to control the senate. They will seek to control the committees. and unless the members of the legislature are dominated by a desire to see the public welfare first conserved, they will succeed in their efforts. Then legal re- form, taxation, schools and financial relief to the great body polite of the state will have to wait until some remote period during the session when, exhausted and worn out the tired legislators may settle down to the consideration of the public welfare"

The Federal Law

Washington, December 19-A federal law
 enacted in 1908 requires that a federal
 judge in granting an appeal in habeas
 corpus proceedings, issue a certificate
 stating that in his opinion probable cause for an appeal' exists. The law reads:
 From the final decision by a court of the United States in a proceedings in habeas corpus where the detention com- plained of is by authority of process is- sued out of state court, no appeal to the supreme court shall be allowed unless the United States court by which the final decision was rendered or a justice of the supreme court shall be of opinion that
 there exists probable cause for an appeal, | in which event, on allowing the same, the said court or justice shall certify that
 there is probable cause for such allow ance.'
 | Before 1908, such certificate was not re- | quired. Should a judge not forward such
 certificate, it was stated today that an appeal probably would be dismissed y
 the supreme court.
 1 An appeal in the Frank case, properly lodged, would not ordinarily come up for | consideration by the supreme court for
 nearly two years. but most applications by
 state officials to advance habeas corpus | appeals are granted.

Horse Meat for Prisoners.

BERNIE, Oct 8.--In Germany signs of distress are now apparent in the comments of newspapers. The Lok alanzeiger in several issues complains that prisoners of war are fed much better than millions of Germans, who often have no butter and eat meat only twice a week, whereas the pris- oners get meat daily. The same paper also suggests that wounded and dead horses on the battlefield should i'm mediately be converted into sausages
 ~d other food for the German popu lation and the prisoners of war.
 The Munchener Medizinische Wo- chenschrift of Aug. 25 publishes a signed article by Prof. Straub contest ing the generally held opinion of German soldiers that French bullets are particularly dangerous or likely to cause poisoning, and concluding by saying that the French infantry bullet may be considered humani- tarian missile.

HAYES |S SURE
 G0SHAW WILL WIN Says His Candidate Will Get Big
 Vote To Westward, At Chisana and Also In Valdez.

Frank Hayes, the campaign man. ager for George Goshaw. the Chisana miner and storekeeper. is confident that he will land his man in the up- per house of the Alaska legislature on November 3. He has been busy sending out letters and literature to his own and Goshaw's friends to the westward, where he has large ac- quaintance and also to the south, where he is confidently expecting a good vote.
 MT. Hayes says his candidate will be elected by the big vote he will get to the westward, and by the vote of Valdez, Cordova and Chisana. which places he expects to carry by fair majorities. especially the Chis. ana district, where about 800 miners are working. of whom he expects al. most all will vote for the local mining candidate.
