TO DETERMINE POWER
Of FEDERAL JUDGES

washington, Sept 27.-Determina-
tion by the highest judicial tribunal of
the disputed power of federal judges to
suspend criminal sentences, in the alb
sence OF Congressional legislation con-
ferrlng such authority, and also in the
absence of federal prisoners proba-
ton system. was sought by the De-
partment of Justice in the test case
against Judge John M. Killitts of the
Northern Ohio district court. An
original preceding was instituted be-
fore the Supreme Court. 1t was ar
gued in January, 1916, and has since
been under advisement.
The Department asked the high
court to issue writ of mandamus va
eating Judge killitts' order suspendine-
a sentence Of five years Imprisonment
in Fort Leavenworth penitentiary i'm
POSED upon Henehan for embezzling
s4.7oo from the Second National Bank
of Toledo.
That the suspended sentence power
was an encroachment upon the Presi-
dents pardoning authority was con-
tended by the Department. Attorney
General Gregory on January 80, 1915,
ordered all district attorneys to oppose
suspension OF sentences, acquiesced in
by Presidents and the Department Of
Justice heads for generations. For Is
years Congress has been asked to re-
move doubt as to legality Of the prac-
tise and many bills have been intro
duced but no action taken.
Not only Judge Killitts but the New
York State Probation Commission and
members of the New England bar de-
Tended the federal judges power as an
advanced, humane and just method of
reforming weak moral characters.
Attorney General Gregory contended
that judges suspend sentences without
warrant of law; that there is no fed
eral statute comforting such power
upon them and that. in the abb
sence of specific authority from Con-
gress. the practise results in overrul-
ing by judges of penalties prescribed
by Congress. That the judges have
inherent power to suspend sentences
was denied. the Department insisting
that federal criminal laws are man.
datory except as to their maximum
and minimum penalties.
In supporting the suspension of
sentences. Judge Killitts contended

Preserve the Grape

Copyright 1916. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Grapes can be turned into many del
icious preserves for winter-perhaps
more delicious than those from any
other fruit, for preserved grapes re-
tain their flavor wonderfully.
Grape catsup-To each pints of
grapes allow 1 pond OF sugar, 1-2 pint
of vinegar and 1-2 ounce each of mace
cloves. and cinnamon. Boil sugar and
vinegar Is minutes heat the pulp and
skin, let them cool, then rub through
a colander and add to the vinegar and
sugar cooking about Is minutes more.
Bottle and seal while hot.
Grape Jelly-The grapes should be
under ripe. Prepare them as for grape
juice. then add the sugar to the juice
and cook until it thickens in a cold
dish. when teaspoonful is tried.
Grape juice-Pick the fruit from the
stems and cover with enough water to
be seen between the grapes. Cook
until the seeds are free and the skins
have lost their color, then strain. Re-
turn the juice to the fire and boil 20
minutes: then to each quart add a cup
full of sugar; cook ten minutes longer
and bottle in alright bottles. dipping
the corks in melted parraf1n.
Grape jam-Remove the skin from
the pulp of well-washed grapes and
put them in separate utensils: heat
the pulp with cupful of water and
press through sieve to remove the
seeds; add the skins to the pulp and
weigh. To each pound of fruit add
three -fourths of pound of sugar and
just enough water to prevent burn
ing. Cook slowly for 40 minutes.

For Poor Appetite and
Weak Digestion

The man who can't eat doesn't feel
much like working, and the man with
weak stomach doesn't get much
pleasure out of eating. Your stomach
is very important to your health, work
and happiness. Don't abuse it, don't
neglect it, and when, for one cause or
another, your digestion goes wrong,
and you lose appetite, be kind to
your stomach. All it needs is little
rest, and a few days doctoring with
Il. F." Atwood's Medicine Very
soon you will see the improvement in
your appetite. and with the relish for
food, comes the strength to digest it.
For this old family remedy helps the
stomach, bowels and liver, and re-
news good appetite and sound diges-
ton.
Buy 35c bottle at your nearest store.
or write to-day for free sample.
