YARD MY NE sWoRN.



PHIIADELPnIA, July 3.-Presiding Judge
Allison of the court of the common pleas
this morning handed down decision of
the court, upholding the authority Of city
councils to appoint committee vested
with powers to subpoena witnesses and
place them under oath before receiving
their testimony.
The decision of the court arose through
q SUIT IN equity brought against Hcn-y ii.
Yard who refused to be sworn or to testify
before the Keystone Bank Investigating
committee, The refusal Of Yard to DO
sworn and the subsequent entering of d
suit by the city solicitor to compel him to
submit to being sworn raised very deli
cate point of law.
Yard has been indicted by the grand
jury for criminal conspiracy with ex-City
Treasurer Bardsley to unlawfully use he
public funds, The contention of Yards
counsel i'll their arguments before the
court Of common pleas was that city coun-
els had no authority to appoint d COM
mittee vested with powers to compel ciil-
zens to appear before them and testify
under oath, and that in addition, under
the constitution of the United States. every
man IS guaranteed the right TO answer no
questions before tribunal of Justice that
will tend to criminate himself.
The opinion Of the court in addition to
Affirming the right Of councils to appoint
the committee was that Yard must appear
before that committee and submit himself
70 ne sworn, but that under the bill Of
TIGHTS he could refuse to answer any CUES
non that he thought would incriminute
himself. The remedy of the committee
Then IS 70 appeal to the courts and submit
70 them the questions asked. Yard and
the court will decide whether they are Of
nature to incrminate him.

At first he answeredip monosyllables.
he tried to look beyond the widow and
gather courage from the loving brown

no farther.

hummed Ezra next morning, as he
lighted his after-breakfast cigar.
''Ha, hal my friend, you've changed
your colors- Yesterday you were doing
homage to brown eyes; to-day it is true
blue. Why is this thus?" cried Ray,
with laugh.
Believe me, Ray, man was never be-

Ezra's cousin, who had entered the
room In time to hear his last remark.
An explanation followed, and as she
contemplated her cousin, there was a
CLEAN Of mischief in her eye. A few
days later Ezra unceremoniously ac-

"What, Ezra?"
"Why, your inviting that widow to

side of Ray Barker.
Ray and Stella were betrothed lovers,
and had no sympathy for Ezra.
"Ray, did you ever hear rational

Ray laughed.
"Oh, Ray can afford to laugh" said
Ezra. Hes taken in and done for, and

devoted himself to the pretty Miss

the appearance Of the widow.
Miss Howard was a pretty, innocent
