,,,dos Martin J. Wade 10 Presiding at
postponed October Session Of
u. s. District
Tribunal.
GRAND JURY is AT WORK
Court Proposes Several Rules Which
Help to Expedite Matters In
court-Three Attorneys
Admitted.

Rules which will expedite the trans.
action Of business in the federal court
we're suggested to the attorneys by
JUDGE Martin J. Wade, who opened
The postponed October term Of feder-
Al court here this morning. Judge
Wade announced that equity cases
must be tried or dismissed unless con-
tinued by written stipulation signed
by the parties. Courts, he said, were
being constantly criticised for delays,
from such causes. The court asked
also that persons who are indicted by
the grand jury be prepared for trial
during the same term of court. There
were times when it was proper to
grant continuances, but for the most
part he thought persons would be
ready for trial, especially as the gov
eminent often had witnesses present
from great distance.
Three attorneys were admitted to
practice in the federal court and
signed the roll Of attorneys. Clar-
ence H. Dickey was admitted on mo-
ton of Theodore A. Craig; John S.
sprowls was admitted on motion of
/. John E. Craig, and J. r. McManus
was admitted on motion of E. w. Nc
Manus. The three attorneys took the
oath which was administered by Clerk
W. c. Macarthur.
Docket Is Called.
I Judge Wade called the trial docket
first The case of Jaeger ct al, VS.. the
Mississippi River Power company
may be the first to be heard unless
there is continuance. In the cases
Of Miller, adm, vs.. the power COM
pany, Judge Blake of Burlington, an
nounced that the defendant was ready.
The equity case OF F. D. Shera VS..
Merchants Life Insurance Co., will be
taken up today.
In the case Of Ward VS.. Ireland, ct
al, attorneys reported that both the
plaintiff and defendant were asking
to have the case remanded. This led
the court to remark that there would
probably be no difficulty in remanding
the case, then.
Judge Wade said that hereafter the
cases would be assigned in their
order in the trial docket He asked
attorneys to submit briefs in cases,
saying that he was not asking them
to submit briefs to the other side, nor
would he diyulge their contents, but
It was Of great assistance in trials
to have briefs.

Inc court instructed the grand iurv
IN some detail. The grand iurv,s
origin was explained. and its function
oonelaereo IN the courts talk. The
anu Jury IS the only secret body
recognized by law, and Judge Wade
empnaslzed the oath Of secrecy and
an OF us obligations. There were mat
ters often taken before a grand Jury
winch had no foundation and which
should not be peddled around among
ne1ghbors, he said. The court also
cautioned against an indictment I'm.
less certain that a petit jury would
consider the evidence sufficient. While
the law did not recognize an indict-
ment alone as a disgrace, people gen.
orally considered it a stigma.
Among the cases before the grant
jury this term will be those Of Harry
Clark, charged with impersonation OF
federal officer, and James w. Han
COCK, OF Burlington, charged with
violation Of postal rules. A large num-
Der of postoffice inspectors are here

The Burlington Version.
The Burlington Gazette says Of the
Hancock case:
Deputy United States Marshal D.
c. Crowley Of Keokuk came to Bur-
lington this morning and placed James
w. Hancock Of this city, under arrest,
on charge Of sending letters Of an
obscene character through the United
States mail in violation Of the United
States postal laws and regulations.
Hancock lives in household at the
foot Of Washington street. The Of
Tense with which he is charged is a
serious one lit is proved. for the
federal governm ent is relentless when
1t comes to prosecuting those who mis-
use the mails Of the government.
Deputy Crowley had no trouble find
ing Hancock and the latter did not re-
sist arrest. He was taken into GUS
tody a short time after Mr.. Crowley
arrived in the city and was taken back
to the Dam City on the noon train over
the "K" line He will appear in the
federal court. which Is now in ses-
sion, some time in the near future.
The deputy marshal did not disclose
the specific offense with which Han
cock is charged, but stated he under
stood the government had clear
case against the man.
The information against Hancock
was sworn out by Postofice Inspector
J. W. Welborn, who recently visited in
the vicinity in which Hancock's Of
Tending letters are alleged to have
been received.
