FROM
FAMILY CAUSE
OF SMALL MOVE
Governor of Illinois Aban-
dons Plans to Fight and
VIII Accept Trial.
VENUE CHANGE AGREED

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Aug. 1.-THE sud
den collapse Of the war plans Of Gov
ernor Len Small Of Illinois, was due to
family pressure" it was learned here
today.
The Governor, It was reported. has
abandoned all plans to delay the trial on
charges OF mlsusing s., 900 900 in State in
teTest funds and to test the legality Of
his arrest In this decision the Governor
entirely ignored the wishes Of his legal
advisers He finally surrendered. his in
Inmates said, to the plsas OF Mrs Small
and members OF tho family.
The strain, Of his legal difficulties on
members OF his family. 1t was said, had
seriously concerned the Governor. Since
the Issuance OF bench warrants for the
Governors arrest, Mrs. Small has gone
into retirement at the family home in
Kankakee. II was her wish. twas said,
that the Governor abandon his war plans
and 20 into court with the sole purpose
Of regulating the charges brought
egainss him in the SangamOn County
court.
The Governor. through counsel, late
yesterday accepted the offer Of States
Attorney c. Fred Mortimer to a change
OF venue from this county. The &c
ceptance was based on four clauses, the
principal one Of which retained the right
10 file any future action on any phase
OF the case, excepting change OF venue.
All four clauses were accepted by the
States attorney in a reply which he
made public. The States attorney de-
cIared his first offer had held no catch"
the Governors counsel having taken ex-
ception 70 certain wording.
Mortimer also agreed to the Governors
suggestion that attorneys for both sides
agree upon another county IN which the
case shall be tried. He announced that
Judge E. S. Smith. who issued the bench
warrants for Smalls arrest would des-
fgnate the Circuit Judge to decide the pc
tition for a change Of venue. This petit
tion will be heard Tuesday, Sept. g.
The jurist viii be either Frank B. Bur
ton OF Judge Norman 7. Jones.
The habeas corpus proceedings which
the Governors counsel had insisted would
be his trump card" is apparently aban-
dOned By the chief execu lives most re
cent move. His attorneys. however, re
aained the right 20 fi!e this action in ask
ing for the change Of venue. The States
Attorney also agreed that the Governor
had not waived HIS right 70 this action
The test" however, is now a very re
mote possibility.

LONDON PAPERS
AGAINST IRELAND

LONDON, Aug. 17.-"There is no secret
that powerful anti English influences
have been at work in Ireland in the last
few days. endeav0ring to destroy the at
mosphere Of peace" said the Daily Ex
press today in commenting upon the Irish
situation. The political correspondent OF
the Daily Express was inclined to believe
that EamOnn De Yaleras speech was not
the decisive Sim Fein answer to the Eng
fish OFFER.
The Daily News forecast that the Eng
Iish government would never recognize
Ireland as a republic.
The London Times said the members
Of the Sim Fem parliament may take it
for fact that the English mind is made
up and that no rhetoric. no sophistry
and no appeal to violence can move the
celebrates Of Britain and her dominiOns
to yield on the one cardinal point upon
which the constitution OF the empire
rests"
That one cardinal point. the Times
points out, IS loyalty to the king and ad
mission OF the sovereignty Of the British
government over the British empire

ASHBY REVIEWS
CASE IN DETAIL.

The Union Railway now has on file
with the county auditor a claim for
$500 Os0.49. OF this amount the county ia
entitled to S115.76054 credit because oil
the city's error, Mr.. Ashby's opinion
holds.
There has been some discussion about
the wisdom IF Original allotment b the
former boar1 Of public works under
which the construction of Pogue's Bun
drain was allotted to the city and paid
for By the city and county as above
stated" says the opinion. "The law gave
the board of public works the power to
make its allotment Of such work between
the city and the railroad companies, and
all parties are bound by such fonmer
action. The present board Of pull lie
works has no power to change the former
action, even if It so desired
However, I do not believe = at the
allotment as made and the pre- e1ings
under the same by which the city and
county paid for the construction Of
Pogues Run drain can be justly criti-
cised.
Tho total amount spent for track ele-
walton to date under said resolution No.
as modified has Deen about SO 000000.
The city, including POgues Run drain,
has received bills amounting to $685.

not yet rendered bills.

would be SS00.OOQ while the cOunty's pay

its payment on Pcgue's Run drain only
amounts to S435 $50. so
at the beginning the arrangement as
made might have appeared advantageous

would appear that some OF the railroad
companies are paying the full 100 per
