TERRITORIAL COURTS.

ARDMORE, l. T., Nov. 19.-The commit.
tee composed of G.. l.. Herbert, A. Eddie
man and Il. c. McAdam, appointed at a
meeting of the Ardmore bar to interview
Congressman Bailey of GAINESVILLE in re-
gard to his attitude Oh the question of en-
larging the criminal jurisdiction of the
United States court in the Indian Territory,
have returned and report that Mr.. Bailey
views on the subject are entirely in accord
with the views expressed by the mass of
the people of the Territory. He also gave
the committee to understand that when
the memorial signed by our citizens and
presented he would endeavour to secure
the passage of an act giving sthe teri
torial courts exclusive jurisdiction of all
crimes and otfenses against the laws of
United States committed in the Territory
Among the many reasons set forth in
the memorial asking for change in the
jurisdiction are these: That the citizens of
the territory are now compelled to travel
hundreds of miles to attend court, and
then tried before strangers who have no
sympathy in common with them; that it
Is contrary TO the custom, usage and policy
of the United States government and a
vital principle of the Declaration of Iinde-
pendence, viz, that citizen of the United
States shall be tried at home by jury of
his own people; that citizens of the United
States, residing in the Indian Territory
are taken from their homes and friends
and home court and into foreign juris-
diction for trial; that in many Instances
citizens are arrested and taken hundreds
of miles for trial, and, on account of the
distance being so great, are forced to lie in
Jail for months on account of the expense
Of securing bondsmen.
There are also numerous other reasons.
among them the expense the government
IS put to in securing witnesses to prose

NEW YORK. Nov. 19-The extension of
the Bell Telephone monopoly Tor a term
of fifteen years beyond the expiration of
Its orlgiuol patents, which appears to be
practically established by the issuing OF =
patent Tuesday TO Emile Berliuer, assignor
TO the American Bell company. has created
considerable comment among men of that
profession in this city 4 number of these
gentlemen expressed ;he belief today that
the Berllner application, which for more
than fourteen years has been in Inter
ference at the patent Office. has been con
veniently retained in that attitude by the
Bell company in order that il might be
brought forth a. means OF extending the
Bell monopoly when the tine approached
for the expiration of Bells basic patents
III 1888 The Berliner patent covers
what Is known as micro
phone trausmitter capable Of pro-
ducluS "A current which. in itS varia-
tons of strength, corresponds 10 the varia-
uons OF tue voice. This tVauSmitter differs
somewhat from that in use az the present
tine, but only technically. The fact that
the Bell company planned the extension OF
ITS monopoly by means Of the Berliner
patent i fortified by the admissions Of the
company 5 counsel, James J. Horrow. who.
10 his argument before the supreme court
on behalf OF the American Bed Telephone
company IN October 1SSs, strongly limited
az the possibilities in the future of the
berilner patent "as an improvement" on

ployed ln the construction Of the Bell tele-
