MAURA ARE IMPLICATED WILL
BE SET FOR TRIAL TODAY.

Converting in regular term, the court
of record will be called to order at
10 o'clock this morning, Judge Kirke
Monroe presiding. The docket while
not so heavy, contains a number of

ance, and the term will likely be long

Possibly the most important cases
up for disposition at this term are the
counts against F. r Pou, city COM
missioner; ex-Regtstration Offfcer
Frank Maura, ex-Deputy Wallace
Kennedy and John Rupert. These will
be defendants in counts growing out
OF the late probe into alleged city

have pleaded guilty and in every case
fines have been imposed. It is believed
that 1t viii be either late this week or
next week before the city election

of the numerous witnesses who are to
be served and who are to appear In
the city cases.

Growth of Prohibition Sentiment.

The w. c. T. L. met Friday after
noon, Dec. IL, and profitable hour
was spent in reading from the Review
OF Reviews and other current publica-
lions the latest news relating to the
growth of prohibition sentiment and
the good effects resulting from prohibit
ton laws. The news from Russia since
the Gar, has prohibited the sale of
vodka is cheering and the prohibition
efforts made in England and Germany
show that tic trend of the war is to
promote sobriety among all classes as
well rs i'll the armies. The war Office
in France is also taking measures
against Intoxicating liquors, and the in
creasing dry territory in our own land
is cause for great rejoicing. Remarks
from the president followed, noting
how effedtually saloons can be closed
by national authorities, in time of war
or overwhelming disaster, while at
other times manhood, long life and
universal happiness seem to weigh little
against the dominant dollar with which
the liquor federation buys it's way to
power. The next meeting will be held
Jan. (. when the subject will be Ma.
tional CONSTITUTIONAL Prohibition. Others
are invited to join with the members
in the study of this question and to
consider plans for the amendment cam
