Decided, and Bounty Law Held TO be Con-
stitutionai

Decided, and Bounty Law Held TO be Con-
stitutionai.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. lS.-Two sugar
bounty cases were decided today by Judge
Pardee in the United States circuit court.
They were filed by realty company aud
Andrew H. Gay. Judge Pardee's opinion
was forcibly against the position assumed
by Comptroller Bowler. The decision 10
against the United States. He holds the
sugar bounty act constitutional.
In addition to that, congress had power
to appropriate money for any purpose it
saw fit. In his opinion. no court or officer
had the power to nullify such an appro-
priation. Congress is the exclusive Judge
of the purpose of which money shall be APP
propriated. and after congress passes such
an appropriation no court or Office has
power to revise its action.
The case will be Immediately taken to
the supreme court of the United States.
1t is understood that the judges have
agreed to give the sugar planters case an
immediate hearing and it is probable that
final judgment will be reached within the
next two months.

Mrs. c. S. Langley while she was at wor-
ship in the cathedral yesterday morning.
Some time ago Mr.. Hawley was informed
that Miss Meade had been robbed of her

Ger began to watch Feely and yesterday,
when the fellow took a rear seat in the
church, Mr.. Hawley was just behind him.
Feely changed his seat to one Immediately
back of Mrs. Langley, his watcher also
moving up. While the lady was engaged
in her devotions Detective Hawley says he
saw Feely lean over and take 81 from her
purse and then slip the pocketbook back.
He soon left the cathedral and was fol-
lowed and placed under arrest by the off,
Ger.
When searched several valuable articles
were discovered, which were identified by
Mrs. Langley as having been in a purse
that was stolen from her in the cathedral
recently. A couple of other purses we're
also found on him, and it is expected that
these will be identified today. Detectives
Auble and Hawley will visit Feely's room

into the New York kitchen and ordered a

80 cents. He informed the cashier that
he had only 25 cents, to which the other

the money, and Immediately grabbed his
