GRAUD JURY WILL I HOT GET SUMMONS

:1

prosecutor Ladd Sees No

Reason Why Session

Should Be Called.

ARE NO IMPORTANT CASES

COUNTY INSTITUTIONS ARE BELIEVED TO BE IN A SATISFACTORY CONDITION AND INVESTI- - GATION NOT NEEDED.

Prosecutor Ladd has stated that there is little probability the grand Jury will be called to meet at the opening of the April term of the Wayne circuit court, the first Monday of the month. There is not believed to be any need for a grand jury session. If a homicide occur or some other violation of the law that requires an investigation , by the prosecutor, . the grand jury will lie called into session at once. It , is not believed that , the county institutions are in a condition that demands an inspection by r the jury and a report as to the conditions. 7 I . One Session a Year. ; The law requires one session of the grand jury, each year, whether there be any specified reason ' for 1 one being called or not. It is the intent of the law in requiring this session to bring about an investigation of all public institutions such as the jail and poor farm, i The jury is evpected to submit a report and in it recommend

such improvements or rearrangements and repairs as it deems advisable, v Preparations now are being made for the April term of court. It is expected the docket will not be as large as for the January and October terms. The April term includes the . summer vacation period of the court. The attorneys always appear lethargic and not disposed to enter into violent law cases. The October term always Is the largest in the number of cases tried. It Is too early now to predict the size of -the docket. The Fleming vs. Hodgin estate case is set for trial tomorrow. The Jones and Gay cases are scheduled for trial Tuesday and Wednesday.

COR. 9TH AND MAIN.

San Francisco, March 2. Before I left, last month, I promised I would write you occasionally and tell you about the various interesting sights and happenings I encounter on my

travels.

To begin with, there was the jour

ney of practically two thirds the way across the continent, from Chicago, via the Northwestern, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, to San Francisco. Overland Limited was the name of the splendid train and I could not but contrast, in my mind, the ease, safety and comfort with, which we

were accomplishing our twenty-five hundred mile journey, with the bard-

ships and dangers those, pioneers, our

forefathers, endured, "before the days

of transcontinental railroads and pala

tial Pullman train transportation. Those daring souls, in ox-drawn pra

irie schooners, unfalteringly pushed their way to the coast, living off the land as they proceeded, beset by hostile Indians and tortured by thirst and heat in the deserts. While we

enjoyed the convenience of modern

Pullmans and dined' in a way that Lucullus, the great Roman Epicurean,

would have approved of highly. We saw but few redskins, and those engaging in such prosaic occupations as digging ditches or driving farm wag

ons. And toe deserts! I might say with truth that they amounted to very

little, that their dangers were nil, all of which was due to the modern railroad and its magic mile-a-minute train. Made Deep Impression. Three things, at least, will remain persistent in , my memory of the trip across the continent, and the first, I

am sure, made the deepest Impression. Crossing Illinois and Iowa, sunset of the second day aboard the train found us half way across Nebraska. By nightfall we were beyond North Platte and in the teeth of a mighty bliizard, accompanied by a terrific snow storm. The wind bowled and raged, as I hope never to hear it again, shaking the very cars as our train barely crawled on its way. Through it all we suffered no discomfort, Bitting snug and warm in the observation car and smiling derisively at the futile efforts of Boreas to smite us

with his icy blasts. We did not escape

unscathed, however, for the boreal armies made off , with twelve valuable hours of our train's running time, despite the mighty snow plow ahead, piling the storm king's spent shafts car high on either side of the track,

and the two powerful engines that

puffed and floundered in its wake?

According to the conductor it was the

worst blizzard that had been encountered on the road in years. The Lucin Cut-Off.

The next thing we encountered, of

more than passing interest was the

Lucin Cut-off, an example of the American idea of doing things In a big way. A few years back, after leaving Ogden, Utah, trains on the Union Pacific continued on their way around the great Salt Lake. , Today, thanks

to E. H. Harriman's genius and mil

lions, trains proceed from . Ogden across Salt Lake. No, not by bridge nor by ferry. By a gigantic fill for miles straight across the lake. This is the famous Lucin Cut-off and is illustrative of Mr. Harriman's belief that what this country needs is "better railroads." That is, .instead of building more railroad mileage, take

that we already have and bring it up to the highest efficiency. And the Lucin Cut-off is' one way Mr. Harriman has taken of practicing -what he preaches. By this piece of railroad engineering trains on the Union Pacific are saved not only more than forty miles extra distance, but also many curves and some fairly stiff grades. Even the novice can understand the advantage of distance, curve and grade elimination to railroads, as a saving in dollars and cents. Great Snow Sheds. . Last there were . the snow sheds, through which the trains whirled In

the Sierre Mountains. The Sierres

are the last barrier one meets before

entering sunny California and, after

a fashion, it appears more or . less natural to enter the beautiful Golden State after surmounting obstacles, so

rich is the reward after arriving

there. . . ... i

N Owing to the fact that our train

was twelve. hours . behind schedule

time, we crossed the Sierres daring

the night.; Ordinarilly, this part of the journey is accomplished during

daylight, and the traveller may drum to his or her fill of the grandeur and beauties of these tree girt and snow-

topped mountains. Fortunately, our

train dashed into the first snow anea while it was still light enough , to ap

preciate the details of its construction and the need of its protection. Mas

sive timbers supported the well built roof and the sides were boarded from

top to bottom perpendicularly. Most

of the way the side boarding is arranged in such manner that a six inch space is left between boards. In the most exposed, sections, however,' the boarding is continuous, in order to afford absolute protection against the

drifting snow.

; Forty Miles Long. Shortly after leaving the first snow shed we entered another and for over forty miles. This time our train rolled on . beneath - Its shelter. . ' Around mountains on the brinks of precipices, over bridges, through valleys for about forty-two miles our train sped in its man-defying-the-elements protection, the roof and sides of which held back innumerable tons of snow.- The flashing spaces In the fence-like side- walls, like the waving wand of the hypnotist, soon lulled as to sleep. Enchanting San Francisco. The awakening, came In the enchanting land surrounding San Francisco and it was not long until our train had finished ' its cross-continent run and, steed-like after a gallant run, stood panting in the Southern Pacific Railroad Company's terminal at Oakland. From there It was but a twenty minute ferry ride across the bay to San Francisco, America's gateway to the Orient. That, Phoenix-like, has risen from the ashes and destruction of the earthquake and fire of three short years ago to greater and grander proportions.. ; Of San Francisco, however, more another time. - R.

SGEIIE OF TROUBLE

Operate Coffee Plantations in Nicaragua, Which Threatens to Make War. TROUbLE IS QUITE SERIOUS

TWO YEARS AGO ISHAM SEDGWICK LOST HIS ENTIRE COFFEE CROP AS RESULT OF A REVOLUTION. -

Friends of Wayne county people who are engaged in business In Nicaragua are anxiously awaiting word from them in regard to the little disturbance between that country and- San Salvador, and In which the United States and Mexico may intervene. Iham Sedgwick and Harry Leonard, formerly of this city and several Dublin 'men are engaged in coffee raising in Nicaragua. ... Richard Sedgwick stated yesterday that he had received no -word from his brother for some time but

(hat In hia last- letter he did not refer to any trouble,' In watch the country was engaged. He has a large coffee plantation at Malagalpa, which Is about 200 miles from Managua, the scene of the trouble, accordlntT to dispatches. The other Wayne county people operate plantations . not far from where Mr. Sedgwick is located. Two years ago when President Ze laya of Nicaragua was engaged In war with another Central American Republic Mr. Sedgwick suffered a big loss. His men were conscripted Into the service of the nation, except those who led to the mountains and remained in hiding. Mr.- Sedgwick was the only man on his plantation and as it was the time to harvest the crop, he had to allow It to rot on the bushes. His mail was opened and he otherwise suffered many Indignities. No doubt if the trouble between Nicaragua and San Salvador becomes serious there will be a recurrence of the conditions two years ago. This year, Mr. Sedgwick writes to his brother, that his coffee crop la of much promise.
