Herman Eppinger, Jacob Epplnger, Josua Eppinger and James Deming appeared In Judge Lawlor's court yes terday for arraignment on an indict ment charging them with obtaining money by false pretenses. Herman and Jacob were represented by Attor neys D. J. Murphy and James H. Budd; Josua by Attorney Edgar D. Peixotto, and Deming by Attorney John A. Hosmer. As there are two indictments, the arraignment on the second being set for to-morrow, it was suggested that a continuance be made so that the de fendants could be arraigned on both at the same time. The District Attor ney said it would take over an hour to read each of the Indictments. "I have no objections," said Budd, "but I don't like to be called out of bed almost every morning to look after bonds because a new indictment has b*.-en found by the Grand Jury. Two of the defendants are out on $35,000 bonds and one on $20,000, and I would suggest that If there are to be any more indictments the bonds should be made as low as possible." As Attorney J. C. Campbell, special counsel for the prosecution, is out of the city, it was decided to continue the cases for arraignment of the de fendants till February 4, in the ex pectation that Campbell might then be present.

The report of the special committee on re vision of the laws governing the guard will be presented. It Is said that this proposes a number of radical changes, and that should these be adopted there will be a concentration of power so I that the entire guard will be directly ! under one general head, instead of be- I ing under different commanders, as is now the case with the three-brigade system.
