CAN THE COURT DIsBARt
An Interesting Conundrum Presented
ny the Brown Case.


The Supreme Court convened yester-
day morning at II O'Clock, a full bench
present.
The case of the accusation against
Judge Brown was resumed, Mr.. Baird,
the appointed prosecutor, delivering his
argument in support of the accusation.
He commended that the motion to dis
miss the accusation. which was filed by
the counsel for respondent, was really a
demurrer, because it went to the suficiency
of the accusation.
In answer to the points of respondent 8
counsel, as reported in THE LEADER yes
terday, he contended that the statutes do
not require an accusation to be sworn to
when il is made and presented by order Of
the court; that it should be sworn to only
when it is made by a private person.
As to respondents second point that
the statute Of limitations Of this Territory
barred this proceeding, Mr.. Baird held
that the statute simply limited the bring.

l
At the Opera House last evening the
Wallack Theater Company, in Robert
Buchanan's domestic drama, Lady Clare,
delighted an appreciative. though by no
means as large an audience as the merits
of the company deserved.
Lady Glare is one of the many society
dramas which crystalline into distinctness
the difference between the poor but arts
t~ocratic and the middle but rich class,
which by many natural consequences are
brought into contact with each other in
English and other society, and about
evenly divides the honors between them.
John Middleton, " the leading charac-
ter of the play, a self made man, has a
nobility of character which does not need
any heraldic insignia to make it manifest.
In the second act when the full force of
the terrible knowledge that he had been
dupcd and had been accepted as the hus-
band of Lady Clare to crafty her
pride; when his strong manhood beaten
down as it was by the crushing blow
asserted the right of obedience that his
wife, though wife in name only, was
bound to accord him, the admiration for
the charater of John Middleton" is un-
surpassed and is only equaled by that for
the genius of the talented actor, Mr.. Os-
mond Tearle, who represents him.
Miss Sophie Eyre is well fitted to fill
successfully the difficult part of Lady
Clare, OF commanding presence, a face
replete with intellectual character, por-
traying strong impulse, with a wonder
fully well modulated and strong voice,
and perfect stage training, she is an
actress capable of filling the most arduous
role and she shared with Mr.. Tearle the
honor of the evening, being enthusiastic
cally called before the curtain with him at
the close of the second act.
Hon. Cecil Brookfeld, in the hands
of j. G. Blackstone, was a jolly old boy.
His part, especially when called upon to
bestow a kiss upon the fair MARY Mid
dleton," was performed with a vigor
which the untutored American mind does
not usually associate with the English no
bility.
Lord Ambermere," Mr.. Gerald
Smale," Melissa Smale," and Countess
of Broadmead,' were ably ~personated by
Mr.. Charles Glenny, Mr.. Harry Edwards,
Flora Livingston and Mrs. Sol Smith.
The remainder of the company were
equally well fitted for the respective parts,
and as an entirity the company cannot
well be excelled in dramatic talent and
trimming.

right against another, or where one re-
dresses his wrongs, and that all the au-
thorities in defining action, do not allow
Of the incorporation Of a proceeding Of
this kind into the definition.
With reference to the third point, that
the language uttered was uttered out of
court, and therefore insufficient to sustain
contempt, the counsel for the prosecution
quoted from Numerous authorities to
show that slanderous language uttered
out of court, with reference to the action.
Of the judges in a matter that is or was in
court, constituted constructive contempt,
and was punishable accordingly.
Finally, as to the point that the statutes
Of this Territory do not allow disbarment
in such cases as this the counsel quoted
from many cases which held that the right
of a cour to punish for contempt was
inherent, and that the court had the
power outside of a statute. Some cases
went so far as to hold that even when the
statutes expressly prohibited the punish
ment for contempt, except in certain
cases, that the statutes were not binding
on the courts. because they derived their
power from the same source as the legisla-
ture, and the %latter's power was not SUI
perior, but only equal, to the power ofthe
courts.
Colonel Downey replied for respondent,
and he in turn quoted many authorities to
sustain his position, notably, some to show
that the power Of the court to disbar was
limited by the statutes regulating the
cases.
The court took the case into c~onsidera-
ton, and adjourned until this morning at
9 O'Clock, when a decision on the motion
is expected.

Take a look at her will your 'ex-
claimed a stout trainsman to a LEADER
representative. The reporter turned his
optics in the direction indicated and saw
a good stout, robust looking woman of
about 2S or 30 years of age. She had q
placid, motherly face and was dressed in q
plain suit of black. But it wasn't the
woman nor her clothes that at
tracted attention. With a couple of
silken cords she was driving a pair of pug
dogs with as much grace as a dove-eyed
dude pilots a coach and four. She
marched along with the air of a Chasseur
d'Afrique and didn't object to being the
attraction for about a score of the train
loungers.
The dogs weren't handsome. If there
was a penitentiary for mean looking ours
this pair would have been serving a life
sentence. They didn't have the first ele-
ment of responsibility about them. The
brute hat had been detected killing sheep
couldn't have looked 50 thoroughly
ashamed of himself as did this brace of
pugs. They, the dogs-and the woman,
fingered about until the Western train
was ready to leave, when they got on
board and departed. 1t is to be hoped
that they have gone to California to keep
Dennis Kearney company.

Judge Lee Drops Politics and Adminis-
ters Justice.

Judge Lee didn't talk politics yester-
day. The criminal portion of the city
let loose and the Judge worked away with
all the energy the beaver is said to pos
sess.
John Rogers he said was his name,
and John went right down into his pants
pocket and fished out Sl3, the penalty for
creating a disturbance. Olaf Lowrey was
the object of Mr.. Rogers wrath and e
warrant was issued for him to answer to
the same charge.
Miss Jennie Doe got slightly elevated
and her actions were such that ever the
denizens of a Chicago mansion would not
tolerate them. Miss Jennie had the $13
to pay her fine.
The good Samaritan don't flourish in
this city to any great extent. Two young
men returned to their rooms over Cowhick
& Whitcomb's quite early yesterday
morning and found two tramps sleeping
peacefully in their beds. Their slumbers
didn't last long. as Nthe young men
bounced them with amazing celebrity and
threw their clothes after them.
One of the young men got too vigorous
and sent along an ulster coat which the
tramp collared, disbelieving the many
prophecies as to an open Winter. The
police found the oveIcoat and the tramps
and brought them in. His honor couldn't
see any offense and let them go with some
good advice ~benevolently administered.
Mr.. Jurish got elegantly drunk and
accompanied the officers to the Marshal
asylum for inebriates, Jurish don't be-
lievc there is anything poetical in viewing
this world through iron grating and when
Officer Sullivan brought in another intoxi-
Gated for company quietly stepped through
the open door and took a walk around the
block.
When Mr.. Sullivan again succeeded in
locking the door and gaining the street,
Jurish was a couple of blocks away. I'm
luckily, he ran into another officer hands
and was brought back again. He is now
awaiting the pleasure of his Honor.
Tom johnson is possessing his soul in
patience and waiting for the Justice to
pass on his case. He won't deny that he
was drunk.
Tim Ryan came in with his clothes
badly mussed, q bit of lattice work on the
right side of the face which showed the
folly of wrestling with sand. He admit
ted being drunk on the night previous
and pleaded guilty to creating a disturb
anee. He thought he could raise $l3 to
pay his fine and again enjoy the liberty of
the city.
Mr.. Rebur was a tailor who got intoxi-
Gated and received the legal rebuke and
went his way.
j. c. Williams was arnigned for tax

jewelry from Annie johnson. The facts
connected with the case were published in

a LEADER reporter was of course pres
ent at the workingmen's meeting in
Keefe's Hall, Tuesday evening, and re-
NAMED there until the tellers were well
started in the work Of counting the votes.
Being somewhat pressed for time, and be-
lieving the counting of votes was a mere
formality, the reporter left the hall after
securing a promise from the Secretary of
the meeting, Mr.. j. c. Argesheimer, that
he would leave the result of the count at
this Office. The vote as published in
THE LEADER yesterday morning was
identically the same as that furnished by
Mr.. Argesheimer.
1t was learned yesterday that by actual
count of the two tellers there were sixty
nine persons present in the hall when the
voting began, Of these, ten persons re-
Trained from voting, leaving the actual
number Of votes cast at ~ffty-nine. These
votes were divided among thirteen candi-
dates. The actual result of the
poll was as follows: Kelly, 30; Moore, "a;
Durbin, 80; Keefe, 25; jackson, A;
Goddard, 45; Moroney, 80 and Cow
hick, SO.
By the time the result of the voting
was being announced many people had
left the hall, but as it was then read out
it was precisely as given in the preceding
paragraph.
When only a few of the moving spirits
were left in the hall it appears somebody
made the suggestion to double the vote
actually received by each candidate so as
to make 4 better showing when they ap-
peared in print. The suggestion was
seconded by half a dozen persons and the
result was the comparatively large vote
as announced in the morning papers.
Mr.. A~rgesheimer says he kept his tally
of the vote on two sheets, When he got
through counting from the first sheet 80
many people were leaving the hall that
Chairman Day advised him to read the
list as it then appeared. He accordingly
did so. There were several additional
votes for each Of the lucky candidates on
the second tally sheet, but even these
would not make up the difference be-
tween the printed and the actual list. No
one concerned in the meeting denies that
the vote as printed was knowingly doubled
to twice the amount actually cast.

HOUSEKEEPING.
A Chance to Acquire it.

There are few business men, or even
bookkeepers that would say, without
some mental reservation, that they I'M
derstand all there is of accounts. Dwight
S. Dow, of New York City, the most
thorough teacher of bookkeeping in this
country, is here to organize a club among
our teachers and young and middle aged
men.
Mr.. Dow stands at the head of his pro-
f~ession, both as a gifted teacher and
author. He will provide a want in our
community, bringing a thorough course
in business education at a cost OF less than
20 per cent of the cost of going away to
get it, and AS the club is to be conducted
evenings, business men can attend with
out neglecting their business or leaving
home. The peculiar advantages of the
class are:
New methods of illustration; new and
condensed forms in bookkeeping, nowhere
else taught; protection against raising
monetary papers; lectures on detecting
counterfeit money; the proper drawing Of
notes, drafts, etc. a far more thorough
knowledge of the science Of bookkeeping
than was ever before taught in any
school.
No bookkeeper should fail to take this
course and get the new and improved
forms taught in it.
