WASHINGTON, March 24.—In the Unit- ed States Supreme Court there was dock eted to-day a case which may bring ou a decision as to whether a case tried in the Philippine Islands under the ald Spanish laws since the Congressional en- actment of a law for the civil gove: ment of the islands was ldgally tried. The | case is that of Thomas E. Kepner, wha was tried on the charge of sequestrating | money as an attorney, and found by th | Court of First Instance to be not guilty. After ti decision was reached the ernment ppealed the case to the Su- preme Court of the islands, by which | Kepner was found gulity. He brings the case to the Supreme Court on the ground that under the constitution of the United States he could not be twice put in jeopardy for the same offense. The Span- ish law allows an appeal by the Govern- ment in case of failure to convict, con- sidering that a case has not been con- cluded until all resources have been ex- hausted by the prosecution. Kepner made an _effort last year to secure action the advance of the consideration of the case by the Philippine’'s Supreme Court, but the court refused to entertain his petiticn. { The case now comes here on a writ of error. Kepner is an American citizen, and was engaged as an attorney In Manila. | THIRTY THOUSAND ACRES OF | LAND ARE UNDER WATER ‘Protection Levee Around Lacona | Circle, Ark., Breaks, and Great Damage Results.

MORGAN BUYS SPURIOUS ART OF SWINDLER Ruler of Wall Street Pays Round Sum for Bogus Treasures. Special Cable to.The Call-and New York Herald. Copyright, 1008, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. PARIS, March 2i.—According to -the London correspondent of the Matin, who has made an investigation, J. Pierpont Morgan has purchased spuriéus works of art in the same way as the custodians of the Louvre, The famous “Tiara Saita- phernes” has been withdrawn from the French National Museum and it also ap- pears that Mr. Read of the British Mu- seum was offered anctent articles of art by a man named Hochmann, who offered the “Tiara” to the Louvre. Mr. Read said they were forgeries and declined to pur- chase them. They were afterward sold to J. Pierpont Morgan through the agency Jewelers. > The Vienna dealer who offered the ““Tiara” to the Louvre is Hochmann. He stopped at Hotel du Louvre with another foreigner, who registered himself under the name of Szymanowsky. The price paid, 200,000 francs ($40,0000 represented sum of 200,000 francs was not all paid at once to MM. Szymanowsky and Hoch- mann. There was an interval of three days. The sum of 100,000 francs advanced by M. Refnach was paid first and on that night a companion of Hochmann, who registered under the name of Anton Vo- gel, left Paris to put the money in a safe place. Hochmann feared there might be trouble, but was agreeably disappointed. In due course he pocketed the second 100,- 000 francs advanced by M. Corroyer and left Paris immediately. He returned later and almost succeeded in selling the Louvre a gorget in the same style as the ‘Tiars: A gold saber by the same counterfeiter was exhibited for a time.in a fur dealer's establishment on the Rue de la Paix. Hochmann also tried to sell a silver vase in Paris, but the gollectors became suspi- clous.
