JUDGE S1M0NT0N REVERSED
Supreme Court Decision in the Judicial
Voting Muddle.
ONLY TWO DISSENTING VOICES
Chief Justice Stcrrett and Associate
Justice Williams Dlsscntcd-Ia His
Opinion Justice Dean Decides That
Sis Names Only May Be Voted.
Pittsburg. Pa.. Oct. 17. The Supremo
court of Pennsylvania sitting here to
day reversed the recent decision of
Judge- Slmonton, of Dauphin county,
and declured the act creating the Su
perior court of the state to be con
stitutional. The opinion sustaining the
new court act was handed down by
Justice Dean. Chief Justice Sterrett
and Associate Justice Williams dis
sented, however.
In his opinion, Justice Dean, decided
that but six of the candidates can be
voted for by an elector.
Among other things Justice Dean says
the courts are without authority to re
vise the work of the state legislature
so long as that work is In strict har
mony with the constitution. He recited
section t. of article S, of the constitu
tion, which provides: "The judicial
power of this commonwealth shall he
vested In a supreme court, in courts of
common pleas, courts of oyer and term
iner and general jail delivery, courts
of quarter sessions of the peace, .or
phans courts, magistrates courts, and
in such other courts as the general as
sembly may, from time to time, es
tablish." Under the authority of this
last specification, "such other courts
as the general assembly may from time
to time establish," the Superior court
was created. Nothing is said In the ar
ticle as to how judges of such courts
when established shall be elected. Sec
tion 15, of the same article, clearly ap
plies to the election of district Judges
of the common pleas , for they are to be
elected by the qualified electors of the
respective districts over which they are
to preside, while the jurisdiction of the
Superior court judges is limited by no
district boundaries.
Names of Electing Judges.
The manner of electing Supreme court
Judges is also prescribed in the constl
tlon; but being silent In the Judiciary
article as to the method of electing the
members of the Superior court, we turn
to Section 1, Article XII, which de
clares: "All officers whose selection 13 not
provided for in this constitution shall
be elected or appointed, as may be di
rected by law." And so. In pursuance
of the authority to create other courts,
in Section 1, Article V. the court Is es
tablished and by the authority of Sec
tion 1, Article XII, the method of elec
tion is prescribed.
The case most relied upon by the ap
pellee, State agialnflt Conatantlne, 42
Ohio, 437, in which the court arrives at a
conclusion different from ours, it Is
said: "The right of each elector to
vote for a candidate for each 'office to be
at an election have never been doubt
ed." .In our state the right of the legis
lature to limit the vote to a less num
ber than all the officers to be elected,
has never been doubted: as the histori
cal Interpretation has been wholly dif
ferent the conclusion must necessarily
be at variance. Hays vs. Common
wealth, S2 Pennsylvania. 518. turned" on
another question than is raised here:
Whether by application of the cumul
tatlve voting plan a stockholder's elec
tion In a railroad corporation chartered
under act of ISIS could be controlled.
This court held that even 'the constitu
tion could not give the right under the
charter to have one vote cast for each
officer to be elected.
But it Is argued from the provision
of the constitution establishing limited
voting as to certain offices the maxim
"Expresslo unius excluslo est alterlus"
must move the court to the construe
tlon contended for by appellee. The
application of this maxim depends
wholly on the subject of contention;
the expression of one thing often neces
sarily Is, or tends to the exclusion of
others not expressed, hut the induction
Is not warranted in all cases, and If in
discriminately applied would frequent
ly lead to most erroneous conclusion.
r.stnhllslicd hy Const (union.
In the case before us the constitu
tion establiphes limited voting in the
election of Supreme court Judges, coun
ty commissioners, Philadelphia magis
trates and Inspectors of election, there
fore It is argued the Impllcatfrm Is that
the plan Is excluded in the election of
all other officers. But the limited vot
ing plan was recognized and adopted
In the constitution because it was
deemed wise that as to ofTices, non
partisan in character, or which at least
should be, the minority party ought to
have representation, and this could
only be attained by limiting voting.
Does the expression of this thing neces
sarily exclude other things not ex
pressed? As the same reasons for the
plan exists as to like offices thereafter
created, Is not a necessary deduction
that a plan like that expressed
should be followed? Does not tihe whole
spirit of the constitution plainly so Im
ply, while there is not a word Indicat
ing that such plan as to other or new
courts is forbidden? In the cases speci
fied the constitution Is mandatory; It
says to the legislature in thus enumer
ating them, thou halt prescribe the
limited voting plan; In the cases not
enumerated it Is discretionary.
For the reason herein stated, as well
as for those assigned in the opinion of
Judge 'Mcpherson, the decree of the
court below Is reversed and the peti
tion of the attorney 'general for a
mandamus 1sdlsmlsed at the cost of
appellee.
The Dissenting Opinion.
Briefly stated, the dissenting opinion
of Justice Williams, which is con
curred in by Chief Justice Sterret, Is
that the legislature Is powerless to deny
any qualified voter 'the privilege of vot
ing at all elections, for all elective offi
cers. If a1d voter desires to exercise
that power.
Referring to Justice Dean's claim
Wat if the Dauphin county court's
Judgment were affirmed the Jury rom
mlsskmors act would fall, Justice Will
iams says no serious Inconvenience
would result. We adds:
."It Is better a thousand times better
that this should happen 'than that the
sacred right of suffrage so carefully
In'trenched by the people in their funda
mental law should become the foot ball
of party majorities, to be limited or re
stricted as the exigencies of political
warfare .might seem to require. I would
affirm this judgment and uphold the
constitutional declaration."
The court subject to 'the Controversy
was created by the last legislature.
It Is composed of even judges, fix Re
publicans and one Democrat, who were
appointed by the governor to serve un
til their successors were elected at the
general elections in November. Each
party recently nominated six candi
dates for the new bench with a view of
giving the minority party representa
tion. The arrangement of the "ticket
providing for the election bf the Judges,
named after the passage of the act, by
the governor, provoked the legal du
puts.
ll EI'OR MED EPISCOPALIANS.
Tka Synodical Cobncll at Philadelphia
Adjourns.
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 17. The synod
leal council of the New York and Phila

The surii available for the purpose is
only J2.320, leaving a deficiency of 1735.
but it was announced that the first

POPE LEO'S LATEST DECREE.
A lllow at tho Policy or Cardinal Gibbims
and Archbishop Ireland in Holding
Kellgious Congresses.
Chicago. Oct. 17. In accordance with
Instructions from Pope Leo, submitted
through iMonslgnor Satolll. a decree will
shortly be Issued by the archbishops of
the country Informing Catholics that
they are not to take part In religious
congresses. The letter to the laity Is
couched In 'the most Inoffensive terms,
but the instructions to tho priests, who
will direct the congregations, will be
more explicit.
The letter Is looked upon by promi
nent Catholics as a direct blow at the
policy of Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishop Ireland, who not only were most
prominent In the congress of religion,
but who openly urge the holding of such
congresses. The document is written
In Latin and addressed to Monsignor
Satolll. It reads as follows)
Venerabln Brother, Health and Apostolic
Henedtetlon.
We have learned In the T'nlted States of
America, conventions are sometimes held,
in which the people assemble promiscu
ously, Catholics ns well as those of other
denominations, to treat upon religion ns
well as upon correct morals. In this we
'recognize the desire for religious thlni?s
by which tills people Is animated mote
si alously from day to day. Hut although
these promiscuous conventions have unto
this day been tolerated with prudent si
lence It would nevertheless seem advisable
that the Catholics should hold their con
ventions separately, and that lest the util
ity of these conventions should result
simply to their own benefit they mlsht be
called with this understanding that ad
mittance should be open to all, ulo to
those who are outside of the Catholic
church.
Whilst we consider It Incumbent upon
our apostolic office, venerable brother, o
bring this to your attention, we are nHo
pleased to ipromote by ou recommenda
tions the practice of the Panllst fathers,
who prudently think fit to sneak publicly
to our dlisentlng brethren, both In ordr
to explain Catholic doctrines nnd to an
swer any objections presented a-calnst
such doctrines, if every bishop In his rtto
cesa will promote the practice and a fre
qunt attendance at thes sermons It
will be very pleaslnu and acceptable to
tis. f"r we are confident thnt not a smnll
henetit for the welfare of souls will arise
tho-f from.
Wishing you In the meantime, venerable
brother, the gifts of Divine grace, we Im
part to yon with the most loving spirit
the apostolic benediction, a proof of our
rp"cal love.

AN OLD WAR DEBT.
The State of New York Sues tho I'nltod
Sfntas.
Washlneton, Oct. 17. Senator Hill
was before the United States supreme
court In behalf of the state of New
York, in its controversy with the Unit
ed States, ovtr a claim growing out of
the war of the rebellion. To equip the
troops enlisted In the slate between
April 2.1 and July 4. 1S01, the slate of
New York borrowed about Jli.OOO.OOO. A
claim for the full amount, with Inter
est. wa made by New York ns early as
1S62, but the treasury officials declined
lo pay It on the ground, that no Interest
of any kind could be allowed upon a
demand against the United Slates un
less when expressly specified by statute
and finally. In January, 1SS9. they sent
the matter to the court of claims.
The tribunal decided that New York
was entitled 'to receive the Interest on
the bonds, but not to the amount paid
on the canal fund, from which part of
the money was borrowed. From this
Judgment both parties appealed to the
supreme court of 'the United States.
Senator Hill lld not conclude today.
He will be followed tomorrow by Assist
ant Attorney General Whitney for the
government. Involved Jn the case is
the question recently discussed by
Comptroller Howler In his opolnioo on
the sugar bounty cases as to the power
of the department to refer to the court
of claims such claim as this one, witn
the right of appeal to the supreme
court of the United St'.vtes from the
Judgment of the court of such claims.
ON BUILDING LOANS.
An Opinion Is Given by Attonory General
Mccormick.
Harrlsburg, Pa., Oct. 17. In an opin
ion1 given to the banking commissioner
today Attorney General "McCormlck de
cided that building and loan associa
tions do not lose the benefit of the ex
emption "from payment of fees for su
pervision contained In the act of 1895,
when members become non-resident
shareholders.
He thinks the association cannot be
held to be doing business outside the
state, and therefore subject to the fees
required by the act simply because sev
eral stockholders moved outside the
state, and continued to pay their
monthly dues or assigned their shares
to non-repldents. He instructs the
banking commissioner, .however, that
when the association makes Invest
ments In real estate In other states It
loses the exemption, and must pay the
fees, whloh are to be based upon the
amount of capital paid In.
Mr. Harrison Quarantined.

IS. WALLER'S NARRATIVE
She Gives Details of Her Husband's
Arrest and Trial.
IMPRISONED BY THE FRENCH
Without Counsel, Waller Is Tried by
Court Martial on the Charge of
Aiding the llovas and Sentenced
to Imprisonment for 20 Years.
New York. Oct. 18. Mrs. Waller made
a detailed statement to the reporters of
the events leading to ithe arrest of her
husband and of his trial and convic
tion. She said:
"Mr. Waller was arrested at Tama
tave, Madagascar, March 5 last by the
French authorities on a charge of hav
ing conducted a clandestine correspond
ence wfth the enemy (the .Hovas)."
It appears, according to .Mrs. Wall
ers' story, that on Sept. 5, while at the
house of a llova acquaintance, Mr.
Waller had promised to procure four or
five revolvers for the son or nia guest,
who, as .Mr. Waller was preparing to
take a trip to this country, had request
ed him 'to purchase the weapons for
him. 'At the trial or ailer tnese re
volvers played an unfortunate part for
him. as the French authorities insisted
that they were simply samples of an
Intended shipment of arms to the
Hovas. Arter tils arrest Mr. waller
was confined In a Chlnaman'sflhop at
Tamatave, and on March 18 he was
tried by court martial Captain Lvl-
solt and six lieutenants composed the
court. Waller had repeatedly asked for
counsel, but was allowed none until
twenty-four hours before the trial,
when L. Jerlaud itook his case, but as
soon as 'he had read the letters Waller
had written to 'Mrs. Waller the lawyer
threw up the case. The reason for this.
Mrs. Waller says, was that in one of
them Waller had written in condemna
tory terms of certain acts of Consul
Wetter, his successor. In his letters to
his wife Waller had told of outrages
and thefts committed by the French
and had referred to two persons by the
letters "D" and "P." whom :he declared
to bp French spies. Waller had also
sent letters Inclosed to George Tessler
and a young Hova named Ratnlmand
resy, but these contained nothing but
reference to business matters.
The Trlsl a Farce.
Previous to the trial Waller was ex
amined through a French interpreter
and made to sign a paper written. In
French, a language he did not under
stand. The court martial appointed a
clerk named Garrlc as counsel for Wal
ler, but he was allowed to make practic
ally no defense. Waller was condemned
to twenty years In prison, and an ap
peal to a higher court was denied him.
After Waller's conviction an order
expelling his stepson. Paul H. Bray, to
Zanzibar was carried out. An Ameri
can named Woodford took Mrs. Wal
ler and her children as far os Mauritius,
where she nsked assistance of Consul.
Campbell to enable her to reach the
T'nlted Sts'tes. The consul told her,
she says, that the United States made
no provision for sue v purposes. Then
she went to the governor, who said
lie would help her if Consul Campbell
would write to him regarding the mat
ter. This the consul refused to do, say
ing that It would humiliate him. Fin
oily, she was sent home, third class
passage, and while on the steamer she
and her children were grossly insulted
by the French soldiers. From Mar
seilles, where she and her children were
treated with the greatest kindness by
Consul Claud Thomas, of whom she
speaks In the highest terms, Mrs. Wal
ler came to the United States in the
second cabin.
They will probably leave for Wash
ington tonight.

CONSERVATIVES' VICTORY.
Lambeth Quadrilateral Is Scattered to
the Winds by an Overwhelming Vote at
Alinncapulcs.
Minneapolis, iMInn., Oct. 17. It was a
signal victory that was won this even
ing by the conservative element in the
house of deputies in the Episcopal con
vention. By a vote that was close, so
far as the clericals were concerned, but
decisive on the side of the laymen, the
Lambeth Quadrilateral, which has been
discussed In every aspect by the church
on both fides of the Atlantic during the
past three years and which lias proven
a sore subject of contention between the
narrow and broad church parties of the
American church, was scattered to the
winds, and the question of Christian
unity was declared by the result as be
ing outside the pale of consideration of
the church. The ballot, which was taken
at 6 o. 'clock, amidst more evidences of
suppressed excitement than have been
manifested at any previous session of
the convention, was the culmination of
a brilliant debate. The minority, which
up to a late hour In the debate had cal
culated on a bare majority 1n its favor,
died hard. The scene was Intensely
dramatic during .the closing speech of
Dr. Huntington, New York.
This was the sltrnal vote on Dr. Hun
tington's report, the minority document
having been withdrawn to enable a
square vote on a square Issue:
Clericals, aye. 19; nay. 2?,: divided, 11.
Daymen, aye. IS; niy, 27; divided, 3.
Of the clericals tho diocese of Cali
fornia. Indiana, Iowa, Georgia. Louis
iana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Penn
sylvania, Pltteburg, Southern Ohio and
Western Michigan voted with Dr. Hunt
ington. New York. Ohio, South Caro
lina, 'Massachusetts were divided. Of
the lay vote Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania were divided and New York,
New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland,
South Carolina and Sauthern Ohio were
among the dioceses In support of the
proposition.
Debate was resunved Immediately af
ter the routine business of the open
ing hour had been disposed of, the
pending question being the report of the
majority of Dr. Huntington's commit
tee, admltitlng to the oversight of the
church other Christian bodies willing
to accept the apostolic and nlcene
creeds, and to submit themselves to the
authority of an Kplscopal bishop, who
should prescribe the form of services
such body might employ.
HELD IP BY niGHWAVMEX.
II. E. Taylor of Forest City, Is Relieved of
Cash and Valunhlcs by Three Masked
Men In Rlchmondnle Woods.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Forest City, Oct. 17.-H. E. Taylor, of
Forest City, was held vp by three
masked men at a point near Richmond
ale last night and relieved of $72 In
cash, a diamond pin and a valuable
ring. iMr. Taylor had been to Carbon
dale and drove back. 'When he reached
what Is known as the Hichmondale
trestle, three men suddenly confronted
him, and while one of them covered
him with a revolver, the others invited
him to get out and be searched. He
got out. Thoy then went through his
clothes and took what money he hnd.
removed his pin from 'his shirt front
and appropriated his finger ring. Then
seemingly satisfied, they saw him safe
ly In the buggy and started on his way
home. He came to Forest City and
notified Constable Jones, who went to
the scene of the robbery and made a
thorough search of the vicinity, but
could find no clue that would aid 'him
In discovering the men who committed
the deed. Taylor could not see the
faces of the men who waylaid him, as
they wore masks.
The woods between here and Carbon
dale are getting to be worse than Sher
wood forest In the days of the LJon
hearted Richard. Several months ago
T. J. Lovlne claimed he was robbed of
$1,700 In money snd jewelry near Rich
mondale; later. Dr. C. K. Knapp wasor
dered to stand and deliver when ap
proaching the same spot, but shoved a
revolver Into the faces of his assail
ants nnd drove on unmolested, and now
the third victim of the gang's daring
has been cased of considerably more
than he cared to lose.
LAD KILLS HIS BROTHER.
His Timely Confession Saves a Tramp
from Hough Treatment.
Grand Rapids, Minn., Oct. 17. While
out hunting near here the 13-year-old
son of Hamilton Jonnson shot and fa
tally wounded his brother, Allen, aged
15. and then declared that a tramp,
whom he described, had done the shoot
ing because the boys would not leave
the woods.
Today one FJtxerald, a tramp, was
arrested at 'Deer River as the man who
had shot the boy, and on his denying
the charge young Johnson confessed
that he had shot tils brother himself
accidentally. Had the boy not made
this confession things would have gone
badly with the tramp.

Philadelphia. Oct. 17. William H.
Dod'ge, president of the Mercantile
Union company, of this city, was given
a hearing today before United States
Commissioner Craig, on the charge of
ul tig envelopes of a nature tend
ing to reflect upon the character of the
persons addressed.
The Mercantile Union company Is said
to be a collection agency, which uses
black envelopes, the addresses being
written with a White chemical prepara
tion. The case was continued until to
morrow. Craeker-Mnkers Fail.
Baltimore, Oct. 17. There was another
failure In the cracker trade today, due,

Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 17.-Jovernor
Clarke took his departure for Little
Rock this morning, being accompanied
as far as Malvern by a United Press
correspondent from this city. The gov
ernor talked freely TPlafive to he
present aspect of affairs here regarding
the Corbett-FItzslmmons contest. He
was asked whether or not the press
dispatches of this morning correctly
represented his position. He replied
that he was not responsible for the re
ports, and that he ihad found nothing
during his visit to the Springs to cause
him to change his mind about the con
templated prize fight.
Mid you promise the citizens' com
mit tee that In any event you would not
call upon the state militia to' invade
Garland county for the purpose of sup
pressing tha light?"
"I made no such promise or anything
like them. The fact 'is 'tlhat the mili
tary of the state are now holding them
selves in readiness to respond to a
call from me at any time.
"It is generally understood and so
reported upon the streets and In the
hotel lobbies that the citizens' commit
tee convinced you that there was a vast
difference between a prize fight and
the contest that Is now proposed to
be brought oft under the revised articles
of utrreement entered Into by the Flori
da .Athletic club and the backers of
Corbett. Is such the case?"
"Tha. Is not the fact. The commit
tee tried to go (Impress me, but failed to
do so. They showed me the revised ar
ticles of agreementywihich were all right.
They also gave me the B-ounce gloves to
look a.t. At first glance no one who is
not posted on these matters would think
for a moment that the men could possi
ble hurt each other with them, but I
happen to know that they they were
5-ounce gloves that Corbett and Sulli
van fought with and that a majority of
the trize fights of the present day are
fought with."
Tho governor talked pleasantly, but
firmly, and the Impression lie left was
that he -neant every word he said and
that unless something ilntervenes to
prevent him from JoIng so he will de
clare martial law. He paid Judge Duf
fle a 'high compliment, saying: "He
stocwl like an old Roman In the com
mittee room and would not consent that
the proposed contest should go on, re
fusing to yield or to withdraw a word
or syllable."
The governor stated that his office
was crowded from morning until night
with visitors from all sections of the
state who were pleading with him to
step the Intended! fight. Letters, reso
lutlons and petitions were stacking up
hig-h. coming to him by every mall, and
all were of one tenor in opposition to
tne ngnt. Tne great majority of his
constituents, h? declared, were bitterly
opposed to allowing Corhett and Fltz
f.lmimons or anybody else to bring oft
a srlove contest or prize fight anywhere
In the state.
WARRANT OUT FOR CORBETT.
lie Is Charged with Having Conspired to
llreak the Peace.
Hot Springs. Ark., Oct. 17. A line of
action seems to have been agreed upon
in the Corbett-FItzslmmons matter.
This afternoon Prosecuting Attorney
Leaprue had a warrant Issued for the
arrest of James J. Corbett on a charge
of conspiring to commit a breach of the
peace by entering Into an agreement to
do bodily hqrm to one 'Robert Fltzslm
mons. The warrant was placed In the hand
of Sheriff Houpt about 2.30 o'clock and
that official went to Spink Lake, Cor
bet t' headquarters, to serve the papers
and bring Corbett before Justice of the
Peace W. A. Kirk. The sheriff succeed
ed Jn reaching Spring Lake and In
servlns the warrant, but as he arrived
there at a l.iite hour, It was deckled that
Corbett chould give lond for his ap
pearance In court tomorrow morning.
It Is understood that Justice Kirk will
place Corbett under bonda to keep the
peace, the sum to be $10.0ft0.
This bond Corhett will decline to give,
w.ben he will be Incarcerated n the Gar
land county Jail. His attorneys will
then apply to Chancery Judge Leather
man for a wnit of habeas corpus. In
the event the writ Is granted, Corbett
will be liberated and the officials who
are opposing the bringlngoff of the con
test will be at their ropes end, so far as
the law Is concerned. A writ of habeas
corpus cannot be suspended in this
sta.te except by tho general assembly
while in regulmr session, and It Is the
concensus of legal opinion that neither
the RTovernnr nor the county, state or
,1urJlcial ofllcer can Interfere further
with the proposed glove contest:. Some
doubt Is being experienced as to the in
tention of Pit7.?lmmons, even (f there
turns out to be no legal bar against the
proposed meeting.
The friends of Corbett are not at alt
sanguine that Fltzslmmons will agree
to go -Into the ring under revised arti
cles of agreement, which provide for a
25-round contest Instead of a finish
fight. A postponement of the time for
the contest is being dilscnssed. Noth
ing has been decided as yet. If post
poned. It will probably be to Nov. 15.
