I United States Senator John II Mitch

Binger Hermann ilid in January, 1902.
unlawfully and feloniously conspire to
gether and with S A D Puter and others
to defraud the government of the
United States out of a portion of itspub
lie iands situated in township 11 south

Before adjourning for the year, in
Philadelphia, last Saturday, the Su
preme court handed down a number of
opinions, among them being a decision
affirming the? lower court in its decision
declaring constitutional the judicial
salary act, which means the raising of
the salaries of the judges Justice
Thompson, who retired in favor of Jus
tice John P Elkin, wrote the opinion
and filed it without either the assent or
dissent of his associates—a one man
opinion The immediate effect of the
judge's salary decision will be to give
an increased salary to every judge in
the state. The constitutionality of the
act was not attacked by the appeal, it
being alleged, however, that under a
section of the constitution the liw
could not apply to the judges holding
commissions at the time the act was
approved. The Dauphin county court,
where a stated case was filed, decided
otherwise, and is affirmed by the su
preme court.
Among the decisions we find the fol
lowing regarding cases from this county:
