Judge J. II. Quinn f'iriy took some
of the lawyers Of their feet at the
session of the district court this
morning. The bar practitioners have
not been handled so sharply for so
long that IL fairly took their breath

All four of the men indicted by the
grand jury appeared at nine o'clock
this morning, and after their cases
were disposed of for the time being.

Three of them were under bond. IL
has long been the practice to con-
tinue the bond. even after indictment
and pleading. but the judge could not
see IL that wav. Attorneys Ivan Bow
en- and John Il. Regan protested but
without avail. Naught could save
their clients from going bShind the
bars, and there they are. Three of
those who have been under bond are
now behind the bars and the court
won't let them cut. These are Mar
tin Lonning, Ralph Macbeth and Har-
ry Chittenden. The other, John Nc
Closkey, has been In Jail ever since
his arrest.
There was but ore plea of guilty
today and that was made by Martin
Looming. He first plead not guilty to
the charge of abuse of female child
under fourteen. but later. by COM
promise. he was allowed to plead gull
ty to the charge of the same offense
against a child under eighteen. This
is milder charge. He has not yet
been sentenced.
John McCloskey pleaded not guilty
to attempted rape. Ralph Macbeth is
to plead at nine o'clock tomorrow
morning to the same charge. Harry
Chittenden, charged with throwing q
stone through railroad car window,
pleaded not guilty.

We are pleased to note that what
was considered slight misundcr,
standing between the chautaua people
and some of our citizens week ago
has been cleared up to the satisfac.
ton OF everybody.
The chautauqua program as arranS-
ed by the management will be carried
out with some slight notifications.
Promise is given that in the address
on Sunday afternoon q request will be
made on the part of the management
to prevent anything Of an objection
able character being uttered, and that
the concert to be given in the evening
will he made to conform as nearly to
proper Sunday observance as can be
had and that the musical program will
be rendered in such way that it can
cause no offense TO any person.
We sincerely hope that there is a
general feeling here in favor OF ar
ranging for the chautauqua for anoth-
er year. We consider that Denison
has been most fortunate in being able
to make arrangements from year to
year without mourning any heavy bur
denS or assuming any disagreeablc re-
sponsibilities.
The Redpath-Vawter ChautauQua
system is certainly one Of the best and
we should seek to continue our rela-
tons with it.

ANWER DISAPPOINTING.

= s. B 81
The hopeful feeling which prevailed
week ago concerning matters in
dispute between the United States and
Germany that everything could be
settled by diplomacy has received
something of a setback since the an
swer of Germany has been delivered.
There il no Disgusting the fact that
the answer is disappointment to
President Wilson aud his advisers and
the situation is so serious that 1t Is
said that it will be several days be-
fore matters can be fully adjusted and
an answer framed rejecting the senti-
ment of the administration. From all
preliminary reports as to what the
answer Of Germany would contain, the
people of the United States fiatered
themselves that the demands of this
country would be largely conceded,
but when the answer was delivered 1t
was found that Germany had made no
substantial concessions, from the po-
sition which she had taken In the
start.
The demand of the president have
been from the beginning that Germany
should furnish assurances that Amer
lean citizens could safely travel any
where upon the high seas and that
the, rules of|international law should
be observed with respect to both the

right to make war upon American cit
liens upon the high seas unless sail
ing in American vessels containing
no munitions of war.
We are inclined to the opinion that
newspapers should refrain from en-
treme ntterances on a>auestion so del
c:tte as our relations with both Eng
land and Germany, at least until after
the president and his advisers have
reached q conclusion as to the policy
to be pursued.
We have no doubt now but what the
president and his cabinet will cOnsid-
er the question from every standpoint
and when a conclusion is reached it
will be one which the American peO
pie will generally endorse and sus-
tain. Everyone must agree that Amer
lean citizens in travelling should be ac-
corded all the rights under interna-
tiOnal law which they as neutrals are
entitled to enjoy and these rights
should be recognized by all the bellis-
erpnt nations.

lives of American citizens and their
property. This is still the demand OF
j the United States and the answer OF
] Germany does not accept the view OF
the president. The whole policy OF
this country, both toward England
| and Germany, has been to demand a
strict observance of International law
governing the rights Of neutrals. NO
other claim 10 demanded and nothing
less than the observance OF the rules
Of international law, as heretofore un
derstood and practiced, can satisfy the
American people. W
1t may be that when the president
comes to analyZe the answer Of Ger
many that he will find willingness
on her part to concede more than ap-
pears at first glance on reading the
answer, and that there may be way
Of settling the dispute through means
of diplomacy. II is said the president,
after considering the answer, does not
despair of reaching solution Of the
trouble.
The German minister at Washington
is so exercised about the impression
made by the answer OF Germany that
he has already called upon the secre-
tary OF state to inquire concerning the
matter. ~
