ASKS DAMAG AN ERRING JUSTICE As Outgrowth of Offense Committed Here, New -Castle Men Are Sued. Because of the ignorance of the law of Horace L. Burr, justice of the peace at New Castle, and well known in this city in sentencing James Adams, formerly of Richmond, to the county jail in Henry county for beating a board bill in this city. Burr and his father and bondsman, Lycurgus L. Burr, have been made defendants in a damage suit filed in the Henry circuit court for false Imprisonment. The amount of the balm asked is f 2,000. Adams was arraigned before Squire Burr for defrauding a boarding house keeper in Richmond and was found guilty, fined and sent him to jail, when Adams failed to pay. An execution was then issued on the wages of Adams at a New Castle factory, the amount of the fine obtained, and Adams released after being confined a few hours. In the civil action just filed, Adams alleges that Burr failed to take into account that the law does not permit the trial authorities of one county judging an accused man on an offense which is alleged to have been committed in another county. Mr. Burr is a graduate of DePauw university and prominent in literary circles in Henry county. His father, who is his bondsman is one of the wealthiest men in Henry county.

The official promulgamation of the edicts was expected momentarily. It was accepted as settled that Yuan -Shi Kai, the military dictator of China, would be the first prime minister under the young China regime.

He is amiMancbu in sympathies and he is the first opponent of the Manchu dynas ty principles ever to hold that post. Facing the possibility that the southern revolutionary army flushed with success, will demand the complete abdicatiaon of imperial power and the transformation of the empire into a democracy with a president, the throne is not stopping at half way measures nor compromises. Two republics have already been proclaimed within the empire one at Chang-Sha and the other at Canton, while General Li has been proclaimed provisional president. A study of the initial edict decreasing republican rights and bearing the signature of Emperor Shun Tung shows the complete surrender of the throne powers. Foreign representatives here have notified their respective governments, of the early possibility of a new government with which they will have to treat in all international affairs relating to China.
