CLEMENS, Mich., Nov. 30. —Judge Jamei G. Tucker is not a bit enthusiastic over the prospect of trying the Detroit pldermanlc graft cases. He say# the docket of his own court is very full and that he cannot possibly reach the Detroit cases tftls term.

After reciting the progress of the ease up to tbs time when the prose cuting attorney demanded a change of venue, Judge Phelan says: “If the question of the right to change the venue on the application of the people were anew one in this state, there might be some doubt as to this court's right to grant the prayer of the petitioner, and I would be In clined to accept the theory set forth in th« able briefs furnished by my brothers, McNamara and Hunt (at torneys for tbe defense); but upon this point there should no longer* be any doubt. The supreme court, speak ing through Mr. Justice Long, as far back as 1892, in the case of the Peo ple vs. Peterson, laid down the rule that circuit courts have the right, upon cause shown, to change the venue in criminal cases on the appli cation of the people. This rule of law 1 am bound to follow. Quotes Supreme Court. "In the Peterson case the supreme court said: There can be no doubt that It was the Intent of the framers of the constitution of this state in pro viding that the “right of trial by Jury • shall remain," that such right of trial by Jury was to remain as complete and certain as the right existed at the (Cmttnnrd on P«|f Fl*hM MUSEUM LACKS ROOM FOR CUSTER RELICS Mrs. Custer, widow of the famous general, recently offered to a<kl tier rich store to the mass of valuable Coster relics that we already have." said Director Griffith of the Detroit Museum of Art, Friday.

Far-Flying Ball Has Spoiled Golf \ Think Some of the Fas tern Cracks Ths far flying ball, soino play»r* think, has spoiled the gam** of go f. The records of the year's champion ► hips, however, do not support these critics. Now, as ever, the winners o* the big tournaments are the players who hare the greatest skill, the great est nerve and the best Judgment. To begin with the national amateur championship went to Jerome 11. Travers, a winner twice before. Mi. Travers also ion the metrupolituu championship. Then there was the open title, won for the second con secutive year by J. J. McDermott, who also tried for the title three years ago, losing In the playoff. No one Is likely to say that McDermott would not be to ths front rank with the old gutty tall. Take another open event, the Metro politan. and It is found thst Tom <Mc N *maru was at the top.

Schwittajr, of Marinette county, Wisconsin, charged with subornation of perjury, based his fight for freedom In Justice Jef fries' court. Saturday morning. Wisconsin has a nifty cality in its law governing tbe taking of depositions In criminal cases That technicality wav played to the limit by Schwittay and his attorney, Max Huletfe. During ail of the trialt Schwittay, a regular dynamo of nerv ous energy, resourceful as a fox, prompted his attorney in excited stage whisi>ers; flew Into silent exhibitions of anger-when things went wrong, and smiled and chuckled to himself when he thought that he had made a point. He had said that he would act as bis own attorney. He did the next thing to It. by popping from his chair, every minute or so, to whisper audibly Into the ear of his attorney. The Wisconsin law provides that depositions in criminal cases can be legally taken only when an order to Jhat effect has been Issued by the cir cuit judge, and the district attorney must be present when the deposition Is taken. Schwittay defied the prosecution to produce that order. District Attorney J. C. Morgan, of Marinette, openly stated that he (Cestlaard *»■ r«*r Eight > BOY PLAYING INDIAN IS BURNED AT STAKE His Mates Build Fire Around Six-Year-Old in Ster ling, 111.
