SENT TO JAIL AGAIN. Judges Copenhayen and Lyons} Recommitted by Judge Philips. Kansas City, Mo., May 10.—B. I F. Copenhaver judges of the $ were this morning again committed | to the Jackson county jail by Sudge | Philps of the United States Circuit Court, “until comply with the such time as they) writ of mandamus | heretofore issued in the case of the Ninth National Bank of New York against St. Clair county.” Jud Thomas D. Nevitt received the s sentence us his two he will colleague: come to Kansas City soon as his wife, who is quite ill, recovers sufticiently for him to leave her. Immediately after the sentence had been imposed court adjourned for the day and Judge Philips re tired to his chambers, where he w met by Judge Copenhaver, and the matter of the St. Clair county boud case was fully discussed. Judge Philips stated that the interview was amicable and very satisfactory. He will make an effort to get the bondholders and the county judges together ina short to try to agree upon basis of settle ment that can be submitted to the voters of the county. Judge Copen- haver expressed himself as being willing and anxious to submit any sort of reasonable compromise proposition to his constituents. The judges marched off to jail with as much composure as if they were going on a holiday trip instead of toa dreary imprisonment that will probably last for months. “There is nothing for us to do but to go to jail,” said Judge Lyons, “we simply would not dare to face our constituents if we consented to make the levy ordered by the court. The feeling now among St. Clair county people is strongly against any ef- fort looking toward a compromise. Governor Stone’s mesaage, with which you are familiar, has done more to defeat a satisfactory com- promise than anything else in years. But for that message I am satistied the matter would have been adjust- edere this. The people were be- ginning to come to the conclusion that a compromise should be made when the governor's message stirred them up again like a hornet ata camp meeting.” was time some a A Woman ¢ harged With Hog Stealing Nevada, Mo., May 10.—Mrs. Delia Harkless here last night charged with stealing hogs was arrested and selling them.
