| Whatever happens or whenever
this process stops, there will be a
greater transfer of properties to the
| few and greater losses for the many
than ever before and the national
life will be move sorely wounded by
the Wall Street crimes after the
war than by its profiteering dur
ing the war. For all this is there
no remedy.
A few years ago during time
of great industrial depression the
police courts OF Chicago were
crowded by those who had offended
by helping themselves to food ard
fuel. The mayor ordered the police
to provide immediate relief in every
instance of reported distress and
while more than two hundred cases
crowded the docket Of a single court
on the day before the order was
given, there was not one arrest on
the day after biscuits were more
effective than bludgeone.
Here is another statement OF the
present situation: (1) The masters
of the private monopoly in he pub
lie credit went on strike, that is,
they refused to grant credits. l2)
The same persons went on strike

Montgomery, March 24.-4(Special.)-
Attorneys for the nine Alabama natio-

lam Baird, union miner, near Jasper.
the morning of January 13. have filed
with Judge j. C. Anderson, chief
justice of the supreme court, an appli-
cation for rule nisi bringing Judges
7. l. Sowell and ]. j. Curtis of the
preme court to show why they should
not be prohibited from trying the SOL
diers out of Marion county, to which
the original ceases were sent on a
change of venue shortly after the in
dictments were returned.
1t, became known tonight that the
application was submitted personally
to Judge Anderson by attorneys for the
soldiers Wednesday. Judge Anderson
announced that no decision would be
made by him until Saturday, giving the
state time in which to answer the
argument of the soldiers counsel.

usual case for the state.
z The soldiers contend that new indict-
ments did not remove the cases from
the Marion circuit court and that they
cannot legally be tried in Walker
county. The state insists that the
quashing of the original indictments
automatically returned the cases to
Walker county when new indictments
were returned. While Judge Sowell
issued the original order for a change
OF venue the petition is directed
against Judge Curtis. who is also at
tached to that circuit.
Any order issued by Judge Anderson
at this time will be preliminary If
he decides there is merit in the ap-
plication he will order the appearance
of the judges here at IA later date
when the issue raised by the attorneys
for the soldiers will be passed upon
by the entire court.
