TWENTY—FIRST THEY MUST STAY IN PRISON Illinois Supreme Court Upheld in Decision in the Anarchists' Oase, DECISION IN THE BERING SEA CASES Whe Supreme Court Will Not Pass Upon Questions Political in Thelr Natare —Constitutionality of the Me= oy Tarifl, Wasnixotoy, D, C., Feb, 20.—In the casos of Anarchists Fielden and Schwab, serving life terms in Joliet (111.) pemtentiary for par- ticipation in tho Haymarket riots, the court afirmed the decision of the supreme court ‘n! Titinois that their sentences was not in vio- lation of the constitution. Justice Harlan, 1n his decision, rocites the fact that under the common law, it is indis- pensable in capital casos that inquiry bo made of dofendants beforo judgment iwas passed whethor ho had anything to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him. “But,” says the ustice, “‘this rule of the common law author. ties clearly shows, applied to tho court of original jursdiction which pronounced sen- tonce and uot to an appellate court, which upon reviow of the proceedings in thetrial court merely afficms the final judgment, no error was committed to the prejudice of the accusod and does not render a new judg- ment.” Thelr Presence Not Essentlal, Continuing, he held that it was not a fact that the supreme court, of Illinois pronounced a sentence of death. T'hat sentenco was pro- nounced by the Cook county court. The su- preme court after tho stay of proceedings affirmed the juagment 1u all things, The ap- pellant failed to estaolish tho coutention that due procoss of law reauired his personal presence At the time th supreme court of Illnois ontered th ordor aMrming the judgment. No well considered caso supports that conten- tion. Neither roason nor public policy re- quire that the defendants shall be personally present pending procoedings in an appellate court, whose functions is to determine whother thero were orrors in the records to tho prejudice of tho accused und_especially w.iore, as in this case, he had counsel to re- preseut him in the court of review. “Under somo circumstances the appellate court may require his presence, but that preseuce is not essential with its jurisdiction 10 proceed with the case. The judgmont of conviction was not vacated by the wnit of arror, ouly its exccution was suspended punding proceodings in the appallate court. ‘The Joliot penitentiary 1s mado tho place for 1he confinement of persons sentenced by tho courts, so that the detention of tho appeliant by the warden of tho penitentiary is not in violation of any right securod to him by tne United States constitution.” In Flelden's Case. ‘I'he above decision was given in the case of Schwa', In the case of Fielden the same doe- trine is applied by the court to meet thy point of absence of the accused when resen- tenced. The court aiso snortly disposes of a consti- tutional point raised that the rights of the defendant under the constitution were vio- lated by the refusal of the supreme court of Tilinois to amend’ its record, to show that ho was not present in person or by counsel at the time it affirmed the judgment of the trial court and fix a day to carry lkat judgment into execution, "The court says: “We take, as our duty, the law of Illinois to be as declared by its highest court that amendments of the record of a court in derogation of its final judg- mets are not permitted in that state after tho expiration of the term at which judg- ment was rendered. Law isapplicable 1o all persons within the jurisdiction of thestate, and its enforcement against the plaiutiff in orror cannot thera be sald to be a denial to him of the equal protections of the laws, BERING SEA CASES, Yindings of the Supreme ward Case Wasnixgroy, D. C.,, Feb. 20.—The opinion of the United States supreme court in the case of ox-parto Thomas Cooper, owner of the Capadian schooner Sayward, by which the government of Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada sought to obtain from the highest legal tribunal in the Unitea Srates a determination on the question of the right of the Unitea States to exersise ex- clusive jurisdiction over the seal fisheries in Bering sea, was today rendered by the United States supremo court. The court first took up the question of the right of the supreme court to issue & writ of prohibition against the Alaska court. It says that al- though the Alaska court was not mentioned 1n the act giving the United States supreme court power Lo issue a writ of prohibition to review decisions of the district courts, yet nevortheless, where the Alaska court 1s act- ing as a district court of tho Unitea States und in an admiralty procecding, it comes within the purview of the act giving the su- pretfie court power of review by way of writ of prohibition, ' Had Jurisdiction, ' It then takes upthe nextquestion and says that the libel on its faco states that the court found that the sealing had taken place within the limits of Alaska and the waters thereof, thus making jurisdiction appear fully on the face of the proceédings, Tho ownor of the uessel, the court says, could have questioned the right of the court to exercise jurisdiction and try the case. He did not do so and the court holds thatit cannotnow, on the ground that the private rightsof tho owuer were involved, issus s writ of prohibition to deter- mive whether ornot the Alaska court had the jurisdiction clearly asserted on the fuce of the proceedings, Justice Field dissented in this case and 50 from a decision In favor of the United States in the case of the schooner Syivia Handy, an American vessel, seized for illegal soaling, and in which the pomts were the same as iu the Sayward case, The political question, says the attorney genoral, the court dia not actually decide, though 1t conveyed a very broad intimation that il it had not had ground on which to have denied the writ it would have declined to have granted tho writ on this ground, as the court shall not pass upon questions which arve political in their ~ nature, I says the matter had long been in controversy and negotiutions between the two governments, It recognfzed the bonor pald the court in the willingness oxpressed to have it review tne merits of fact as 10 whether or not this country’s juris- diction extends over the whole Bering sea, but that it did not think the legal bunals sbould interfere with the assortions of terri- torial soverelguty made by the other cepart- wents of the government. —_— Death's Sunday Sheaf, Dusrque, la., Fob.

JEFF TEEMER CONNECTED WITH THE CASE o Must Answer as an Accessory Before the Fac ly at Lin- coln While Arranging to Leave the Country, Arrested Sudde Hastixos, Neb., Feb, [Special Tele- gram to Tue Bek.|—Never since the Olive case of adozen years ago has any trial en- grossed as much public interest as does tho preliminary examination of Captain A, D, Yocum for the murder of Myron Vanfleot, which was begun this morning bufore County Judge Burton, The soclal prominenca of the desd man and of his siayor , the odor of scandal whick pervades the causo and tue publicity of the Killing have all aided in making this a case of more thau passing notice, 1t was ramored that the defense would make o determinod fight and tho district court room whs uncomfortably full when the court was opened au 9:80, The prosecuting attorneys were County Attorney Hoeppner, Charies Tanner and_J. A. Casto, both ex-county at- torneys, and Judge R. A. Batty. Captain Yocum ' was defended by Hon. J. B. Strode, the_criminal lawyer of Lincoln, Goneral A. 1. Bowen, General C. J. Dilworth and by N A.

Dunning's Remarkuble Case. N1NG, Neb., Feb, 20.—[Special to Tng One of the most remarkablo cases of suppression of facts ever known has just come to light here. Last evening at the Dunning hotel a number of people assembled to take supper, at the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harrls.

Mr. Noble continued on his farm near Purdum, work- ing industriously and gaining an excelient uame among his neighbors, About January 1 last they decided to announce the factof their mnrrllwu, and the meeting last night was the result.
