Senator Monroe had prepared an extended address which In part was follows: Thli Constitution didn't specifIc- allwvMt In this judicial branch the authority to determine the question whether an act of the Congress or of the executive branch was In excess of the powers delected to those two branches. But It Immediately became apparent that If the limitations upon the delegated were to be defined In particular would have to make the definition, and no oould do except the court -unlees the people did It by revolution.

Accordingly, the aourt ioon assumed this function. Whether or not one believes that the Supreme Court has or ought to have thli authority, It to apparent to all that when once thli authority withdrawn or subverted, all limitations upon the power of the Congress and the executive are likewise withdrawn. To It destroys constitutional government. anarchists and have our limited form of government, but, at least until lately, and I the both In a generic and a party have sustained H. At the moment there are good many Democrats and a few Republicans who manifest a violent reitlveneu under the Imposed upon them by the Constitution, They have a right, to be restive, to seak a relaxation or complete removal of these restraints.

And those of you In Congress who may feel like complaining need only- to be reminded that the Constitution puts on you the duty of de vising and submitting: to give to yourselves or to the executive the added powers you wish. You have honored precedent for this course In the fact that 28 amendments have been submitted since the original constitution was adopted, 31 of which have been adopted with considerable dispatch and with great unanimity on the part of the people. But tor one reason or another, you nave failed to do Instead, you complain that the court at fault, out of touch with the people, out of step with the times, It Is hamstringing the nation In a time of national crisis (though we Insisted last Fall that the crisis was past and that we were on the high road to Recovery, with a calptal tall enough to bracket the name of Mr. Roosevelt).

And some of you are insisting that, without amending the constitution In an orderly manner, the court shall be reconstructed in such fashion as to give to the President ot the United States authority to appoint, as many six new justices of the court for the purpose of giving construction to new acts of Congress as the President wishes after you have enacted them as he wishes to Platforms While it may he that no man Is warranted In undertaking to judge the motives of another, let me venture an answer, nnd let your own conscience and the understanding of the people point the truth.

The first session of the high court was set for this afternoon along with the start of the new term of the third district Apellate court. The Supreme Court clerk's office had reports that Justice Warren Orr was confined at his home in Rock Island after a relapse from an attack of influenza, and Chiei Justice Lot! P.

Two state gainst Rummerfield by the mother the girls: one of rape in connection with alleged mistreatment of the elder girl, and one of Indecent liberties with respect to the other. Bond of $5000 was fixed by c.ourt on each charge. Rummerfleld, according to po- records, recently was released from the state penitentiary at Menard to which he was sentenced from his county In April of 1935 on charges of Improper liberties with a girl, 13, and a boy, 7, Denies Seeing Children At his hearing today he denied iver having seen the children who accused him, and announced he wanted to plead not guilty. He testified he had been drinking over a period of three days and had no recollection of happenings of yesterday after 2 p. m.

The elder of the girls told from the stand how she and her little sister had been at play early last ivenlng on William street with a coaster wagon. She identified the defendant as a man who approached them offering them a card, which she thought was an election card, and offered each a dime to take it to what he said was the 'engineer's "I said, 'No, mother's; waiting for us', and at that he put his hand in his pocket, like he had a gun and made us walk along In front'of him. 'If you scream, he said, 'I'll blow your guts out'." Kept Them Captive Continuing the girl told of being conducted up the riverfront with her sister, their captor finally leading them into a "big white place with stone all around like a cave" where the mistreatment took place after they had been forced to disrobe under the rays of a flashliKhi held by the man who had led them there. "He kept us there about half an hour, I guess. Finally I said, 'I'm going home'.

The man told Mr. Mayford we were his nieces. But Mr. Mayford said he was a policeman and made the man go along with him." Pntrolnmn InveitUgates The arrest of Rummerfield resulted from an investigation begun about 7:45 last evening by Special Patrolman Mayford after two employes of Sparks Mill informed him of seeing a man leading two children along the riverfront west of the mill property. Mayfor.l said he had started at once from Slate and Broadway up the riverfront, and had gone but a short distance when he met Rummerfield, whom he knew, and the two girls.

"I asked him what he was doing with the girls, and he replied that SPRINGFIELD, April 6 The equal rights for which woman has campaigned for decades would slip back a notch if all women bills before the Legislature were approved. Three of the five measures Introduced to date would discriminate in favor of or against women, simply because of their sex, while the others would put them on a par with man. The equality bills would mix the bitter with the sweet. Women would be permitted to serve on juries, but upon conviction could be Incarcerated In Illinois penitentiaries. At present, they are sent to the state reformatory at Dwight The other bills would deny women the right to sit at bars or counters where alcoholic bever ages are sold, limit their employ ment to eight hours a day, anc prohibit their employment payable In tips or gratuities only.

Only the jury and eight-horn both of which have administration approval, have been reported out of committee with a recommendation for passage. However, a flood of amendments which he charged was an attempt to render his women juror bill unconstitutional caused Representative Pierce L. Shannon, Chicago Demo crat, to postpone further consider ation when his measure came up for second reading nearly a month ago. In its present form the bil would exempt from jury service mothers, expectant mothers, girls under 26 years of age, and women kvho have the actual care of young children, the sick, and infirm.

The girls seemed afraid to talk, but after I explained to them that I was an officer, they denied what he had said, and on reaching State street I had a call made to send the ambulance from the police station." Tries to Run Away While the ambulance was being awaited, Mayford said, Rummerfield suddenly jumped from the high curbing and started to run. Mayford said he fired a warning shot In an effort to make the fugitive halt, but Rummerfleld kept right on running. Just at this moment the ambulance arrived, and the driver Patrolman Cholsser took up the chase. He said he found Rummerfleld hiding near the Eagle Packet Co.

It will be brought before the Senate for speedy action Wednesday, he! said. I Robinson said a group of Democratic senators had decided at a rolonged conference this morning a modified version of a resolu- lon offered yesterday by Senator ittman (Democrat, Nebraska). In Its original form, this reso- utlon condemned sit-downs as "II- cgal and contrary to sound public lolicy," and also denounced "the o-called Industrial spy system" used by some employers to labor unions. Robinson said he would offer an amendment to the resolution, approved by the conference, but did not reveal its nature.

Guffey-Vinson Bill Passed The Pittman measure is a concurrent resolution in effect, a mere statement of policy by both louses of Congress, which does not require any action by the President. It is limited to "industries within the jurisdiction of Congress," and therefore would not apply to strictly intrastate businesses. The Pittman resolution and two others kept the troublesome sit- down issue before the Senate after had rejected yesterday a proposal to insert into the G.uffey-Vlnson Coal Bill a policy declaration against such strikes. Robinson led the opposition to the proposal of Senator Byrnes (Democrat, South Carolina) calling sit-down strikes Illegal and against public policy. Administration forces voted it down 48 to 36 and then speedily approved the coal bill, 58 to 15, late yesterday.

Robinson and others made it plain they were not condoning the strikes, but merely believed the denunciation had no place In the coal measure. Mrs. .1.

Cars Cars Found Undefended Although no one defended the legality of the sit-down method, a group of senators led by Wagner (Democrat, New York) protested I the Byrnes amendment was one- sided because It did not condemn illegal tactics by employers as well as employes. Senator Davis (Republican, Pennsylvania) submitted a resolution calling for a brief declaration of the sit-down's illegality, while Senator King (Democrat, Utah) presented one with a strongly- phrased condemnation of the strikes as "resulting In disorders" and "subversive of the authority of the United States." The debate divested interest from the coal bill itself, which goes back to the House for action on several Senate amendments. Designed to stabilize the coal Industry, the measure would create a national bituminous coal commission empowered to fix minimum pripes for coal and would set up an elaborate system of marketing and fair trade practice provisions.

City Clerk Schllllnger was Instructed to advertise for bids for the Sixth street Improvement project, the bids to be returnable April 59, and to be opened by the City Council at Its next meeting at 7:30 p. m.

The resolution also called the appropriation of the additional 1 sum of $3582.26 for the Improvement. The proposed Improvement will consist of the widening of Sixth street and the construction of a pedestrian subway. Motor fuel tax funds will be used to finance the project. The pedestrian subway will afford a safe crossing for hundreds of school children In the Sixth street area where four schools, Lewis- Clark, junior high, Wood River, Washington, and St. Bernard's parochial school, are situated.

Two of the aldermen, attacked in informal good natured debate by one member of the council for patronizing an out of town bakery which provides door-to-door delivery, replied with the question: "Friends of the People" "Well, why don't some of our Wood River bakeries try giving some service like that? Besides, the things the wagon sells are good." "And you call yourselves the friends of the people" scathed the alderman. Fees as high as $200 were suggested for the ordinance. General bills and gasoline bill! were allowed as read, and instructions given for certificates of indebtedness to be drawn for them. City Treasurer Gladys was authorized to void a certificate of indebtedness held by City Engineer Forrest Nifong, and to placa the bill of $28 in the motor fuel tax fund where money is now available for payment.
