MUST BE QUASHED
Says the Supreme Court of George Moore's
 Indictment.

Washington, Dec 2S.-The indictment returned by the grand jury for the Southern district of Alabama, upon which George S. Moore, clerk in the Mobile postoffice, was convicted of em- bezzling $1652, will have to be quashed. So said the supreme court of the United States today in ruling upon Moore's ap- peal from the judgment of the district court. Justice Brown announced the opinion The reasons for this decision were
 l. That the indictment contained no averment that the money embezzled came into Moore's possession in his fidu- ciary relation to the government.
 2. If the words were surplusage then it was necessary that the indictment had specified "as money of the United States" so that it could be identified by describ'' ing it as "coins or bank notes," etc.
 3. As the statutes make the offense charged felony. indictment should have alleged that the money was 'feloniously embezzled.''
 The judgment below was reversed with instructions to quash the indictment.

Opening n Campaign for Control of
the Telegraph Systems.
The International Typographical Union
last night at Typographical Temple,
through a speech delivered by Mr.. s. H.
Bell, opened campaign which is intended
to agitate the subject of the government
ownership of telegraphs until Congress
shall instruct the Postmaster General to
proceed to take possession of all existing
lines at their appraised value and operate
them as a part of the post Office system.
With Mr.. Bell are associated Messrs. A.
L. Randall, William McCabe, j. w. Usilton
and W. N. Brockwell. who have been desig-
mated as the local committee of the Inter
national Typographical Union to handle the
subject before the proper congressional
committees of Congress, and the committee
has been organized by the election of Mr..
Randall as chairman and Mr.. Bell as sec
rotary.
1t is the intention of the committee, as
stated by Mr.. Bell in his speech, to endea-
vor to induce the incoming Congress to
take the step they are seeking to secure,
but If they shall fail with it, to keep up the
fight until victory is secured.
Back of the committee are said TO be not
only the International Typograp hical Union,
but the Federation of Labor the knights
of Labor and every other body of organized
labor in the country, as we'll as many
boards of trade and chambers of commerce
in the United States. Mr.. Bells address
last night was an exhaustive dissection of
the subject.

banking houses with strong foreign con-
nections have been commissioned to lend a
total Of one million pounds sterling in the
local market on time. The collateral for
this loan will be carefully scrutinized, mono

best Mr.. Miller opened the service of song
with some of the old battle hymns of the
church, which were sung with much spirit
The feature of the song service of the even

Johnson. MIR. Potter, from the text who

church.
Revival services conducted by Messrs.
Miller and Potter may be extended to other
churches. The official board of Metropoli-

William s. Huntington of New York, for
the committee on amendments to the con-
stitution. reported in the house of deputies
of the EpicoI allan convention today an
amendment providing for court of ap-
peals. 1t was finally decided to refer it to
the special committee which has charge of
the constitutional revision pending the
next convention.
The mouse then plunged into the consid-
GRAFTON of another batch Of proposed
amendments to-, the canons proposed by
Rev. DR.. F. p. Davenport. The first taken
up related to the rights and privileges of
rectors, wardens and vestry, and the
powers of bishops in comforting the choice
of rectCrs.
The amendment was eventually referred
to the joint commission on canons. The
proposition to use only the form Jesus"
and not "Jesu'' in the prayer book and
hymnal was laid on the table.
The committee on new dioceses reported
IN favor of non-concurring with the bsh-
ops in the matter of setting aside the now
jurisdiction of Kioto. A minority report
declared that the English Church was
ready to occupy the field.
In view of the possible difficulties, the
house of bishops refused to concur in the
proposal to insert the patriotic hymn MY
Country, IT'S OF Thee" in the hymnal.

HURRIED AWAY.
Percy Bradley Taken to Virginia to
Answer q Charge.

Percy Bradley, the young man who was
arrested here yesterday at the request of
the Virginia authorities, was today deliver
ed over into the custody of Detective Alex.
NJ. Tomilson of Richmond, Va, to answer
charge of seduction.
On behalf of the young man, Attorney
Campbell Darlington commended that the
requisition from Gov. O'Ferrall was irreg-
ular in form, and also that the offense
charged is not an offense here. Chief JUS
tice Bingham held however, that the requi-
sit;on was in proper and sufficient form,
and decided that the alleged offense being
a felony under the Virginia laws. the de-
fer dant was subject to extradition.
Mr.. Darlington then announced that he
would raise the latter question by filing an
application for writ of habeas corpus.
But the Richmond officer, the moment the
prisoner was formally delivered over into
his custody, hurried the young man across
the river into Virginia, out of the jursdc-
ton of the District courts.
The defendant is charged with feloniously
seducing Maud Mountcastle, Fifteen year
old girl of Richmond. The penalty for such
an offense, unGer the Virginia laws, is i'm
prlsonment in the penitentiary for two
years. A defendant so charged can, how
ever. escape prosecution by marrying the
complainant.
