ILLINOIS COURT COLLECTS
ONE CENT FINE FROM DUNN
IN CASE COSTING $5,000
"It is so seldom that the State of
Illinois get a cent out of any one
that I hereby order the penny paid
by this defendant taken to the Chi
cago Historical Society and placed in
a glass case for exhibition,” Judge
Joseph B. David, chief justice of the
Superior Court, ruled recently when
William H. Dunn, appeared to pay
the fine assessed against him, saya
the Chicago News.
Dunn was taken before the chief
justice when he refused to pay the
$46.60 court costs assessed, but said
he-would gladly pay the cent fine.
As a member of the law enforce
ment league, Dunn brought suit
against the sheriff to restrain him
from paying ont-of-town judges for
their services from the marriage
court funds.
Late Dunn was charged with
spiracy and found guilty, Judga Da
vid, at that time sitting In the crim
inal court, fined him 1 cent
Dunn asked for a change of vtnus
from all of the judges of the Cir
cuit, Superior and Municipal Courts,
and appealed from Judge David's rul
ing on tha ground that tha lower
court had denied hit motion. The
Appellate Court affirmed Judga
David's ruling.

to the judge.
"Here's the penny, your honor,"
he said. T pay the fine but I don’t
like to pay the costa."
“Get the penny whatever you do,
Judge David ordered his dark, and
then he Instructed him to take the
cent to the Historical Society.
“This case coat the Bute about
$5,000 eo far," he told Dunn, "and
If you don't pay the costs we wfll
■ue you for them."
MOTORIZED FARMING
COSTLY TO PLANTERS
Chicago, Da. 27. American far
mers are losing approximately $30,-
000,000 a year on their oata crop and
probably a like amount on thair hay
crops through the use of automobiles,
motor trucks and tractors whieh have
largely supplanted the use of horses
in the cities, according to Rebert Mc-
Dougal, president of the Chicago
Board of Trade in analyzing the
effect of motorized hauling on the
horse and grain market Mr. Me-
Dougal believes, however, the pendu
lum is swinging tha other way, point
ing out that the prices on good draft
hones ara advancing.
In 1910, there were 8,600,000
hones in the cities,” said Mr. Me-
Dougal, "while in 1920 there was a
trifle more than half that number.
Most city hones are fed' upon oata
and hay. Oats prices recently aver
aged 65 cents below wheat prices,
whereas before we began using
gasoline they averaged 62 cenU be
low wheat This is a loss of three
cenU per bushel, which based upon
an average crop of one billion bushels

WARNS AGAINST ANY
INTERFERENCE WITH
AUTHORITY OF SULTAN
Manila, P. I. Dec. 3. (By Mail)
Warning has been given by Sena-
Hadjl Butu, one of the most
prominent Moros in the Philippines
and senator from the district of
Mindanao and Sulu, against any
attempt to curtail the religious pow-
exercised by the Sultan of Sulu.
He declared that any attempt on the
part of the government to destroy
the prestige of the Mohammedan
religion will be met with disastrous
results. •
Senator Butu’s statement was in
answer to a proposal of the prosecut
ing attorney of Jolo, the Sultan’s
home, submitted to the governor
general and tha secretary of justice,
to cancel the semijudlcisl powers
which the Mohammedan religion, laws
and cuatoma give to the Sultan of
Sulu as inherent to his office. The
prosecutor, who is a Christian, asks
cancellation of the sultan’s power on
the ground 'that civil government
established in the Sulu archipelago is
often in conflict with the use of this
powar- The power referred to i n the
proposal is the sultan's right to act as
judge or arbiter on religious matters
which parties concerned voluntarily
submit to him for decision and which '
chiefly relate to marriage andj
divorce. I
Senator Teopiato Guingona, who
by appointment of the governor
general represents the non-Christian
tribes in the Mountain province, al
ia opposed to curtailment of the
sultan’a powers, and has submitted
statement to tho governor general
against tha plan.
REMAINS OF PREHISTORIC
MAN FOUND IN MALTA
Valeria, Malta, Dec. 1.—(By MaU)
Scientists digging for prehistoric
records in a cave on the island
of Malta have found teeth which
they believe belonged to a man
who lived contemporaneously with
the “Neanderthal man." The Nean
derthal skull was found in Germany
in 1856, and is said to be the oldest
record of the human racb in Europe.
The teeth were found in a remote
section of the much frequented cave
called Ghar Dalam. The visits of
many souvenir hunters have made
more difficult the labors of the
investigators, but nevertheless they
are preparing to excavate further in
the hope of finding more evidences
of pre-historic life.
ID0WA0ER EMPRESS OF
RUSSIA MAY LIVE IN BRITAIN
Copenhagen, Dec. 1.—(By Mail)
—The Dowager Empress of Russia,
Khria Feodorovna, who is now in
England on a visit to her sister,
Queen Alexandra, may prolong her
stay well beyond the limits originally
set for it. First it was said the
widowed queen, who was a Danish
princess before she married the late
emperor Alexander ni, would return
to Denmark In five or six weeks; now
it is rumored in court circles that the
visit may be indefinite.
Maria Feodorovna crossed the
Channel at Ostend. She was ac
companied by the Russian princess
jDolgoruki and Viazemsky, Countess
, Mengen, and the well known Cossack
JJachtchouk, who used to carry the
little, lane son of Emperor Nicholas
jin his arms In the days before the
executions at Ekaterinburg
three years ago. This little boy was
Maria Feodorovna’s grandson.
It is understood locally that the
Empress will be followed to England
shortly by her daughter, the Grand
Duchess Olga and her husband
Colonel Koulikovaky, and their chlld-
•n fact that engaged
couples hold hands. So they do after
marriage, only then the husband to
