TRIBUNALS ARE IN SNARL When Writ From Higher Bench Is Serve d on JorKt Latter by Prosecuting Attorney- Kile Serious Charge.. CINCINNATI. O.. Msrch il. Within o hour after th Circuit Court by m majority derision, given by Judges Peter 8- Wine and a. A. fmlth. had enjoined Jude Frank W. Gorman from procedlns; with the trial of Ueorge B. Co on ths charge' of perjury. Prose cuting Attorney Henry T.

Judge Gorman took ex ception to the Injunction In open court today and decided that he would wait until tomorrow morning before an nouncing whether he would obey It. Before the Injunction was granted. Judge Gorman had given notice that he would rule on the motion to quash the Indictment against Cox at I o'clock this afternoon. It was Just seven minutes before that hour when the writ con taining the adverse ruling of the Cir cuit Court was served on him.

The wheat is not up yet except In scattered sections. This is so late that germination Is now un certain and the chances are decidedly against anything like a fair stand at best. The south row of counties from the Arkansas River west to Barber County. Including over .500.000 a,c,res. are al ready detinltely a falure, with probably three-fourths of the acreage put to other crops. The trouble In both these districts was the same failure to ger minate until after the February rains, but the west is naturally so much later than the south that at least two weeks more must elapse before It can be safe ly counted out. -The balance of the state, with about 4.000.000 acres, shows practlcaly a per fect prospect. If the western district finally proves a complete failure, the state, with a normal season, ran still make from 60.000.000 to TO.000.000 bush els and to this will be added whatever the doubtful district finally con tributes.
