JUDGE SHARPE DENIES HABEAS CORPUS WRIT

Judge H. A. Sharpe of the city court denied the habeas corpus proceedings of A. w. Snyder yesterday and remanded Snyder subject to the order of the court. The proceedings were filed in an effort to offset the ruling of Judge Aston of the criminal court. Snyder was taxed with the costs of two cases in the crim- inal court the first part of the week which amounted to considerable sum.
 He had appeared as prosecutor in case against Richard Andrews several days ago, who was charged with trespassing after warning and abusive language. An drews was acquitted by Judge Aston and the costs of the two cases imposed upon Snyder. Judge Aston ruled that the cases were of too minor importance for the court and used this his basis for his decision.
 Snyder refused to pay the costs and he was sentenced to 10 days imprison- ment for each case. The habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Snyder was to overrule this decision on the grounds of restraining his liberty" The case, att tracted an unusual amount of interest.

TT HERE will be a big parade
 downtown today. What for?
 Well, maybe because there's d minstrel show at the Jefferson Minstrel shows usually have pa rades and all that sort of thing, don't they? Anyway, Footlights and Screen is under the impression that Nell O'Brien and his troupe of trained (pardon, tamed) min strels will likely disturb the slumbers of the night owls about noon today with the blare of cor nets and trombones Let's hope it's fair and warmer.
 After the parade Neil O'Brien and his assistants will give mat inee to the populace or as much of it as can be packed in the Jeffer- son. In the evening much the same programme will be followed. Of course, the usual fee will be charged.
 One of the biggest dramatic sen sations of recent years, Madame K" the drama from the French of AleXandre Bisson, has been done into pictures with the noted Amer ican actress, Dorothy Donnelly, who created the original role at the initial performance in New York city several years, is the star also in the Pathe Gold Rooster yer sion that will be shown today at the Strand theatre. It is the nov ing picture triumph of the new year
 The story of Madame K" while drawn along simple lines, is par ticularlT tragic. A woman-re- specially married, a mother-falls from grace and leaves her hus band for another. Years pass and with the passing of time the wom an goes the path of millions of other frail feminine sparks-to ut ter ruin. Finally in an act of anger she kills her lover and is brought to trial-Where her own son IS her attorney pleads for her life. It is tragedy, but in the Madame X" of Dorothy Donnelly one is as- sured that it is well acted tragedy.
 "The House of Revelations with John Lorenz, an Essanay feature, will head the bill at the Princess theatre today. There will also be shown a Vitagraph comedy, "When Two Play Game" with MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew.
