This action brings before the court every phase of the capital removal con troversy: raises the binding effect of the enabling act. which provided that the capltol should remain here until after 1913: raises the point that an or dinance of the constitutional convention accepting the enabling act enn only be changed by a vote of the people: and brings Into question the right of the legislature to convene prior to the first Tuesday In January.

DRUG TAKEN FREQUENTLY Means Which Crippen Used to Kill Wife Are Employed by Banker to Clieat Law Recovery Likely. Former Attempt Made. NEW YORK. Dec. 30. With head erect, shoulders squared and eyes leveled at the battery of cameras trained on him. Joseph G. Robin. the Indicted banker, stepped from his sister's home this morning to face arraignment, calm in the knowledge that he had swal lowed a dose of hyoscine, the deadly alkaloid with which Dr. Crippen killed his wife. Belle Elmore. He collapsed before be could be taken Into court, with the exclamation: "I am a dead man; I've taken poison tablets." Tbe case was postponed In the great est excitement, a stomach pump was hurriedly brought into play and the sick man was carried first to the prison hospital and later to Bellevue. where he lies tonight in the prison ward. No charge of attempted suicide la entered against him. and it Is thought he will recover, although the action of hyo scine la slow and much will depend upon his vitality. Robin Took Drug Habitually. The time at which Robin took the drug Is approximately fixed by the tes timony of Dr. Austin Flint, retained for Robin by William Travers Jerome. his counsel: Dr. Louise Roblnovltch, his sister, and two detectives, who rone with him from his sister's house to the Criminal Court building. Dr. Flint told the court that, as near ly as he could Judge, the poison had been in Kobin's system about three ouarters of an hour when he collapsed. The two detectives were positive their prisoner swallowed nothing on the way to court. Dr. Roblnovltch said her brother was In the habit of taking hyoscine in small doses to counteract the effects of morphine, which he used to deaden the stabbing pains by which gallstones make themselves known. She kept the drug In her house and she thought her brother swallowed 12 tablets. At Belle vue tonight, the examining surgeons estimated that Robin had taken about one-tenth of a grain. Stomach Pump Saves Life. Robin seemed In good health this morning better than at any time since his troubles began and he made no ef fort to screen his face from the cam eras, as hitherto. The first sign of illness was when he staggered, step ping from. his automobile to the Crimi nal Courts building. In the elevator he weakened so rspidly that the detect ives had to lift him to a couch. There he sank Into unconsciousness and was not revived until the stomach pump had been worked rigorously. Its prompt use saved his life. Outside, the corridors of the Crimi nal Courts building fairly hummed with excitement, but In the Court of Gen eral Sessions Itself, Judge Craln waa transacting business as usual when At torney Jerome stepped rapidly down the aisle. Jerome Announces Poisoning. Tour honor," he began hurriedly, "'I am here In the Robin case. It appears that the defendant has taken a drug. He cannot be stimulated. An ambulance has been summoned and surgeons are now pumping his stomach. The delay Is unavoidable." Dr. Austin Flint, retained by Mr. Jerome, was called. The Assistant Dis trict Attorney asked htm what Robin had said. "He said." answered Dr. Flint, 'I am a dead man; I've taken poison tablets.' I found his face flushed, the pupils of his eyes dilated, his pulse 160 and fee ble. He told me he had swallowed the poison three-quarters of an hour pre viously." The case was postponed until receipt of further advices as to Robin's con dition. Roblr's frustrated attempt on his life today leaves the question of his sanity still open. Dr. William Mable, for the state, and Dr. Austin Flint, for his counsel, examined him last night and found blm physically able to appear In court today, but they did not pass on his mental condition Robin Tried Suicide Before. In the affidavit submitted by his sis ter, when she applied for his commit ment to an asylum, she swore he at tempted suicide last Saturday and gave that as one evidence of insanity. There were no further developments today In connection with either the Northern Bank of New Tork or the Washington Savings Bank, both of which are In the hands of the State Banking Department, but the State De partment of Insurance took over the affairs of the Title & Guarantee Com pany, of Rochester. N. T. A large force of accountants is at work on the ledgers of the many Interwoven compa nies which Robin promoted. Deputy Attorney-General Frederick C. Tanner, who made the descent on the Title Company, told the court today that it was practically defunct, be cause of Robin's operations in substi tuting questionable securities for good ones.

' The orders for a strike will not be given by telegraph or through men in motor cars, as was the case In France, but by a system that Is being kept secret.
