CONCLAvE OF CARDINALS TO ELECT new POPE HELD FEBY
{. CHICAGO
CITY COURT
CONTENTION

Corstitutionality OF the act or the
1921 legislature cutting down the
number Of justices Of peace IN town
ships having cities or the second class
and increasing the authority OF city
courts of second class cities which do
not have circuit or superior courts, has
been attacked in suit filed in Room
j Of the Superior court OF Hammond
Tho case On which the attack is
based is an unimportant one except
that it has been used as the instru-
rnent of attack.
Attorneys p A. Parks and r. G.
Graves arc taking the offensive in the
matter and w. 4. Fuzzy and ". e Roe
are offending. They are from East
Chicago and the City court Of that
place is the object of their fire.
The acts Of 1921 provided there
should he one justice OF the peace
representing the part OF township p
outside of the cities or the second
class Matters formerly handled
through justice courts were hence
forth 10 go through the city courts.
1t gave the city courts in cities Of
the second class ID which there was
no higher court. jurisdiction over
matters involving sums up to $4,000.
This in reality places tho East Chit
cago court on a par with the Ham
Mond superior court in many respects.
Several provisions of the act set forth
K certain cases which the city court was
not 10 handle
Appeals from the city court were 70
20 10 the circuit or superior court in
The same manner that judgments rem
dered in these courts are appealed 10
the appellate court However. as the
East Chicago city court has been al
most raised to the dignity Of the Ham
mond Superior court, it places the
Hammond court practically ia the
class Of the appellate court.
The attacking attorneys contend
tnat the act Of 1921 Is invalid because
the title does not include the subject
matter; that the title does not refer
to the title OF the act it supplements;
that the act embraces more than ane
subject: that II attempts to confer
new and additional power and jurisdic-
ton on courts not contemplated in the
I title; that the act is special legisla-
Z ton, there being but one court af-
{ fected thereby in Indiana, namely East
/ l6hicagos; that it makes circuit and
superior courts or Lake county counts
courts OF appeal and review. that it
places the defendant in criminal ac-
tons in greater Jeopardy By means Of
I change Of Venue.
The matter was brought up before
Judge Rsiter this morning and some
! argument was submitted. The court
remarked that he bad been expecting
( some such action sincc he first read
the law. but that ne must have time
