ORDER BASED
ON A STATUTE
CLEAR PROOF OP JUDGE AROII
BALD'S AUTHORITY.
Act of 18D1 Gives a Juff&e or the
United States Court the Bight to
Require the Production of. All
Papers Pertaining to a Congres
sional Election If a Contest Is
Brought Opinion Which Shows
That Judge Doesn't Like Interfer
ing with State Courts.
The statute under which .Judge It. W.
Archbald Issued tho order dliwtliu? the
brliiKliiR In of the ballot boxes nnd
the titliliu? therefrom of all the ballots
is an act of (-impress finally approved
on February 1!), ISM, reCerrlmr to eon
Kt'cfsloimt election contests. Section 110
of this act reads as follows:
When any contestant or returned mem
ber Is desirous of obtalnhiK testimony re
specting n contested election, he may np.
ply for a subpoena to either of the fot
lowhiB of Heel s who may teslde within
tho coiisrcsslonal district In which tho
eleclion lo be contested was held.
The act then rocs on to enumerate
I he various nflleors who have power to
issue such subpoenas and the first men
tioned Is "any Judge of any court of the
United Stales." Section VSi of the same
tiel reads:
Tho nfllcer shall have power to re
quire the production of papers and on the
refusal or neglect of any person to pro
duce and deliver up any paper or papers,
in bis possession pertaining to the elec
tion or to prodtico and deliver certified or
sworn copies of tho samo In case they
are ofllclal papers such pet sons shall be
liable to all penalties Imposed by this act.
.Indue Archbald construes "papers" to
Include ballots, which it is held are
ofllclal papers, bearing a. very intimate
connection with the election.
Opinion in Rearick Case.
llojiardlns the alleged claim that
Judge Archbald was seeking to usurp
the functions of the state courts it is
Interesting to note an opinion filed by
him yesterday in a habeas corpus case
brought to his attention recently. The
case was that of II. L. Hearlck, of Sun
bury, who was arrested for an alleged
violation of a license tax ordinance
passed by the borough council. He was
released on bail but was afterwards
surrendered by his bondsmen. A writ
of habeas coipus was applied for and
granted by Judge Archbald who has de
cided against ltearlck in the following
opinion:
The power of tne Vnited States courts
lo Intervene by habeas corpus in a case
where a disregard of the federal law is
charged, must be conceded, but to do so
Is nut at all times expedient. To n. cer
tain extent it involves a conflict of au
thority, which it is desirable, if possible,
lo avoid. For although the supremacy of
the federal court in federal matters must
bo recognized, yet wlieio the statu couit
has assumed juilsdictlon, the discharge
on habeas coipus of one who has been
arrested on its process or is bound by
recognizance to observe its commands, Is
a direct interference with its proceedings
which nothing but the most urgent neces
sity justifies. Should the state court,
eitber resenting tho Interference or claim
ing that tbe caso did not come within
tho federal law, determino to go on with
it notwithstanding tho discharge, a direct
clash between the state and federal au
thorities would result with which it is
not well to be drawn. The state courts.,
both original and appellate, are bound
by tho constitution and the laws of the
United States, the samo as the courts of
llio general government, and are entirely
competent to Interpret and apply them.
It Is not to bo assumed that they will not
do so, and if they do not, or If they see
in the application, tho party aggrieved
has a complete remedy by a. writ of er
ror to tho United States Supremo court,
where Justice will certainly be done.
An Appeal Was Allowed.
In tho present Instance If tho relator
had rested upon his conviction before tho
justice, or upon application to tho quar
ter sessions of the county for tho allow
ance of an appeal had been refused, a
caso for the intervention of this court
on habeas corpus might havo been pre
sented. Unt Instead of that, nn appeal
was allowed, and Is now pending In tho
Northumberland sessions, where it would
have come up in due course at tho present
term. Thero Is no lcasou to suppose
that II will bo correctly disposed of when
it does. Uy entertaining tho appeal tho
court has shown Its readiness to do jus
tlco to the relator, and having tho power
to pass upon disputed questions of fact In
n way that UiIh court on habeas coipus
would not have, thero Is every reason
for awaiting tho result. If tho rotator
should have any rauso of complaint with
It when It comes, the higher nppellato
courts of tho state aro open to lihn, and
last of all, as already suggested, tho
tribunal, which in federal matters Is su
preme. Tho present writ may be a nhnrt
cut to relief, but according to tho views
expressed in linker vs. (Irlee, ) T, S,
M. and Minnesota vs. fSrumlagc, Io V. S.
199, It Is not one to be encouraged, Kx
crclslng, therefore, tho discretion which
is vested in me in the premises, 1 deem
It bert that the pioceedlngs pending in
the statu couit should be allowed to take
their course.
l,et the relator bo remunded, and the
writ discharged without prejudice.
Commissioners Stokes and Toohcy
secured possession of eight ballot boxes
froip Dickson city, niakely and a part
of Archbald yesterday and brought
them to Clerk Searle's olllce in the gov
ernment building.
County Commissioner Durkiit still, has
possession of the keys for tho ballot
boxeH and appears to have no Inten
tion of giving them up.

Sensible Gifts.
It would be hard to llnd a more at
tractive shopping placo than Lewis &
Hoilly's great shoo store these days. It
Is just bulging out with gift sugges
tions. Their line of slippers Is almost end
less. It comprises everything that
fashion and comfort dictate. Thero are
slippers for the little ones, slippers for
the older boys and girls, and slippers
for papa, mamma or grandpapa and
grandmamma. Some are made up in
plain or fancy leather; others are in
felt, and still others are In velvet. The
styles include all the newest shapes, as
well as the always popular regulars.
But this firm's stock Is by no means
made up of slippers. Thero are shoes
all the newest styles tho latest ideas
in fancy patent leather and velvet dress
slippers, the newest things in Oxfords
and special styles In sandals. Then
thero are the staple styles In shoos for
men, women, girls and boys; rubbers
and overshoes, as well as boots. Don't
forget that no Christmas present can
be more acceptable to the small boy
than a pair of rubber boots. Besides
giving the little fellow heaps of joy,
tho boots protect him from colds and
that much dreaded croup. From that
standpoint, if from no other, they
should bo considered in making your
selection for the boy.
There is a satisfaction in selecting
goods from a store like tills. A pur
chase from this firm is an absolute
guarantee for1 quality that amounts lo
much in the purchase of a gift.
At Half Price or Less.
Now is the time to buy millinery and
Gerson's, 413 Lackawanna avenue, is
the place to buy It. They are having a
great cut price sale. Prices have been
cut with a vengeance.

HIS TRAVELS

LECTURE
DELIVERED
STURGES.
BY E. B.
It Was the Plrst of a Series He Will
Deliver Under tho Auspices of the
Ladles' Aid Society of tho Green
Itldge Piesbytorlnn Church and
Vas tho Plrst Event Hold In tho
Auditorium of tho New Young
Men's Christian Association Build
ing on Washington Avenue.
Tho doors of the now Young Men's
Christian association auditorium were
thrown open to the public, for the llrst
time last evening when K. IJ. Slurges
gave tho llrst of a series of lectures on
bis eastern travels. The lecture was
Illustrated by some of the best stere
optlcon pictures ever seen In this city.
The talk which accompanied them was
most entertaining.
The lecture was under the auspices of
the Ladles' Aid society of the Green
nidge Presbyterian church. The sec
ond series will be shown next Thurs
day evening. In a number of the pic
tures nppeurcd Col. II. M. Boles, Mr.
Slurges and tho ladles of their party.
The views were taken In tho Hawnlltin
islands, tho northern part of China and
Japan.
In the judgment of tho speaker Uncle
Sam has made a grand Investment In
the Hawaiian islands. Ho has no sym
pathy with tho Chinese exclusion uet.
as the country needs the services of the
Chinaman, not only In tho Philippines,
but also in the states.
Cannot Exist Without Them.
"We cannot exist without them," he
said, "as they are an element In the
world's make-up that cannot be ig
nored." A number of most Interesting pictures
were shown of scenes In the Hawaiian
islands and in Northern China, which
the party visited. While on tho way
they met Soo Hoo Doo, nf this city,
who furnished them nn Introduction to
the emperor. In addition to tho views
of travel shown, a number of pictures
taken during the siege were presented.
Among them were the views of tho
famous wall surrounding the city of
Pekin, which is fifty feet high, seventy
feet wide, and twenty-one miles long.
Interesting views of tho legations were
also shown where the storm center of
the trouble was located.
The verdict of all those in the lega
tion was that they were saved by the
Providence of God. The people of
China, the speaker said, wllh civiliza
tion plus Christianity, will be a great
world power in lime to come.
. Of Japan, many beautiful views were
shown. The natives are lovers of beau
ty and worshippers of nature.
Tho cherry blossomed trees, tea
houses nnd gardens In Japan shown
were delightful to the eye, and, the peo
ple, he said, are at homo in their flower
gardens. Horses and carriages are
very scarce in Japan, the jinricksha
prevailing. s
An Attrnctlve Place.
Japan for the tourist. Mr. Sturges ex
plained, is the most attractive place in
the world. The pictures were shown by
A. V. Bower.
The halt in which the lecture was
given last night Is one of the most at
tractive In the city and Its arrangement
and decorations were much admired
last night.
