JUDGE SETS ASIDE
ORDER FORGETTING
BONDS In DRY CASES
Opinion on $500 Case
Sets Precedent Under
Dean Law.

Austin. Tex, April 5.-What is
said to be a precedent in criminal
cases was set by Judge James R.
Hamilton Of the Criminal District
Court of Travis county. Saturday af-
ternoon, when he set aside an order
of forfeiture of the bonds in eleven
cases against a man charged with
eleven violations Of the Dean liquor
law. This action was taken by the
court because bonds were made re-
turnable at the next term of the
court, instanter.
Attorney Sam III. Dickens who rep
resented the sureties on these bonds,
raised the question that there is no
next term of the Criminal District
Court, instanter. This point was
sustained by the court and he ordered
the forfeitures of these bonds held for
naught and released the sureties
thereon.
The bonds were for $500 each
Dickens said there are a number of
other cases in which the same ques-
ton is involved and he will seek re-
lease of the sureties on the same
grounds.

British Exhibition Nearly
Ready But Political
Signs Ominous.
OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY
Gardiner Sees Little Hope
of Settlement Of Euro
pean Problems.
BY A. G. GARDINER

Copyright, 1924. by Consol. Press Assn.
London, April 5.-The chief subject
of interest in London today is the
opening on April % by the King of
the great peace exhibition at Wembly,
north of the metropolis. The magni-
tude of the exhibition exceeds all prec-
edent. The. cost of construction. is
100000 pounds sterling. .
All sections of the empire are TAX
ing part and preparations for visi-
tors to London are being made on q
gigantic scale. Construction has been
in progress for three years, but it has
been subject to much~internal conflict
and it is still seriously incomplete.
This week, $4,000 workers engaged
on the building started a lightning
strike without the authority of the
union, in order to compel an increase
in wages of the building trade. This
is symptom of new strike methods
of sabotage in seizing necessities Of
the public to force surrender.
But in this case the Mon executive
refused to be stampeded and the strike
is collapsing.
Omnibus Political Situation,
A graver cloud on the exhibition
is the European situation. When the
exhibition was originally arranged, it
was assumed that the sky of the world
would have cleared five years after the
war, but the situation is as ominous
as ever.
Great events are imminent. There
are three critical elections-in France,
Germany and Italy. Premier Mus.
solini has made the result in Italy a
foregone conclusion, but the issue in
France and Germany is awaited anx.
iously.
The opinion here is that Germany
will 60 reactionary. The tide of ma.
tionalism, long foreseen here. is ris'
ing as a result of French policy. The
ominous feature Of the movement is
that it is largely popular in char.
acter, springing from the conviction

Chicago Woman Loses Her Defiant Reserve and
Breaks Down and Begs Other Women in Jail to

Chicago April 5,-Cringing under

lah, Amman, %, bemoans the complex
which led her to shoot and kill her

love and he tried to get away from

Held without bail for the killing,
the beautiful young woman, whose pull
chritude exceeds that of any prisoner
of her sex incarcerated here for
murder, has lost the defiant reserve
with which she had enveloped her
self since the shooting.
Maintaining an aloofness at first
from three other women in the county
Jail because they killed their men,
Mrs. Amman finally has broken down
and begged them 20 comfort her. And

The woman, who rather boastfully
admitted that she shot her admirer

police, now is a wretched creature,

And her husbands attitude towards
her furnishes her with an additional

intimacy with the man she shot. He
even has borrowed money to help her

Perhaps sympathy is the element
which has been missing from Mrs.
Annan's life. For observers at the jail
say that only sympathy seems to melt
her. Sympathy and fear have brought
the woman to n realization of hei
