County's Title, However,
Not Affected by Su-
preme Court Ruling.
INTERPRETERS VERDICT
Injunction Does Not Bar
Jail More Than 200
Feet From School.
special to The Argus.)

SP4 AA6AC4N, June IA A1OQAISO
opinion was fled today by the IlE
nois supreme court in the injunc-
ton suit of Bishop Edmund N.
Dunno of the diocese of Peoria OF
the Roman Catholic church against
the county Of Rock Island, in
which the supreme court at the
April term handed down an opin-
ion ordering the circuit court OF
Rock Island county to enjoin the
county OF Rock Island from erect
ing a jail on the court house
square within 200 feet of the Ro-
man Catholic school house.
The circuit court entered a de-
cree enjoining the county from
locating. building and construct
ing and thereafter maintaining
said jail building on any part OF
the public square and particularly
within 200 feet of said building OF
the complainant so used exclusive
~ for school purposes" From this
decree the county filed an appeal
in the June term Of cc1rt.
Does Not Cover Whole Square.
The supreme court, in the modi-
fed opinion filed today, says that
a reading of the opinion of the su-
preme court handed down at the
April term would show that an
Injunction against erecting a Jail
at any place on the public square
not within 200 feet of the COM
platnant's building was not within
the meaning or intent of the direc-
ton given, because no question of
that kind was considered or de-
cided."
The supreme court holds that
the county must remove any part
OF the jail which was constructed
while the suit was pending. Also,
it directs that the circuit court
modify its decree by striking out
the words any part of" and the
words land particularly" and as
modified the decree is affirmed.
Justice Floyd E. Thompson, hav-
ing been states attorney for the
county OF Rock Island throughout
the litigation, took no part in this
discussion.
Ends Hard Fought Case.
This MARKS what is expected to
be the last stage of the famous
case which has been fought three
times up to the state supreme
court and once through the su-
preme court Of the United States.
The appeal this time was for an
Interpretation of a former decision
in which the circuit court was d.
reeted to, issue an injunction, there
being doubt as to whether the
county would be permitted to re-
tain any part of the foundation of
the new Jail already costructed, es-
pecially the south end, which had
been intended to permanently serve
Tor a heating plant for both Jail
and court house and which is now
supplying steam for the latter.
The supervisors had asked an
early decision so that in case the
heating plant were ordered remov-
ed, another building might be
erected before winter.
Chief interest in the decision
aside from the part dealing with
the heating plant, lies in the fact
that the county's title to the square
for building purposes is not inval-
dated. The Injunction was grant
ed under the Igoe law, which pro-
htbits Jail building within 200
feet of building used for school
purposes.

is no sign that the bolshevik ad-
vance is likely to be checked.
The Associated Press is informed
however, that the general position
of Admiral Kolchak and his gov.
eminent is not belize ID to have
been made materially worse by the
bolshevik advance, and barring the
unexpected collapse of Admiral
kolchak, the munitions America il
sending should arrive in Sberia~lr

that the reverses suffered by Ad
