Newsboys and Childrens' Aid Society, and
upward of $50 boys sat down to a bounte-
GUS reDast the savor of which will long
linger in their memories.
The dinner was served in the big room
that is used as a gymnasium in the new
building at the rear Of the Maulsby Home,
23O street. 1t was possible to accommo-
date only about 100 hungry boys at time,
and the result was that 1t was necessary
to provide for two relays of guests. Such
ample provision had been made, however,
that the last to eat were as well taken care
of as the first.
The cards of invitation had been distrib-
uted with the greatest care, so that only
deserving boys should be the guests of the
occasion. The word observing for the
time being meant hungry" and all such
that could be provided for were given a
hearty welcome. The hour set for the din
ner was 1890 O'Clock. 1t Is very bad form
to be late for a dinner engagement under
any circumstances, but, there was never
yet dinner given in the northwest Sec
ton of the city where the guests were on
hand with such surprising promptness. in

BARROWS c AS E
Arguments Ended and the Decision Re-
served.
Closing Appeals in q Habeas Corpus
Case-The Lawyers Discuss
ing the Points.

The arguments in the case Of Frank Eu-
gene Barrows. the Mutual District Messen-
ger Company boy, whose release from the
District reform school was asked by Man.
eyer Robt. G. Callum Of the company, by
writ CT habeas corpus, were concluded be-
fore Chief Justice Bingham this afternoon,
the court announcing that he will render
his decision at 10 o'clock next Monday
morning.
Mr.. Philip Walker, Of counsel for the pc
titicrer, concluded his argument yester-
day afternoon, being followed by Assistant
District Attorney Armes, who represented
the reform school authorities. Mr.. Arnes
conter ded that the school is not a prison,
but is an institution where not only is
boy educated and taught a trade, but also
where he Is taught morality.
He insisted that Colonel Clay, the presi-
dent Of the board Of trustees of the school,
had, In committing the boy on the sworn
complaint Of Mrs. Evans, his reputed
guardian. and of her husband, acted not
only well within the power and authority
given him by the law establishing the
school. but also in the very best interests
of the boy. That official having determined
that the boy is not sixteen years of age,
submitted Mr.. Armes, that finding could
not be questioned by the court in the pro-
ceedings instituted by Mr.. Callum.
To that proposition Chief Justice Bing-
ham seemed to dissent from, and Mr.
Armes read several authorities which, he
claimed, supported the point. He thought
the court should proceed unusually slow
and rigidly iE the matter, and should not,
be argued, disturb the schools custody of
the boy pending the board of trustees in
yestigation of Mr.. Calum's complaint.
II the board should refuse the boy any
right, then, submitted Mr.. Armes Mr.. Cal
lum would be justified in proceeding. Mr..
Armes also referred to the fact that Mr..
Callum could have secured the boys re-
leased by having him apprenticed to him.
The law under which Col. Clay acted, con-
tended Mr.. Armes, is a valid and constitu-
io1al one, and an undoing of it would, he
thought, work great injury, not only to the
school and its inmates, but also to the COM
munity.
Arguments Closed.
Mr.. Frederick Stutz of counsel for Mr..
Callum, closed the arguments in the case,
sabmittihg that the petitioner had clearly
shown that the boy was more than sixteen
years of age when committed, and also
that Mrs. Evans never was his lawful guar
dian.
Chief Justice Bingham took the papers i'm
the case, stating that he would reserve his
decision until next Monday, the case being
one which he desired to carefully consider
Until then he continued the boy in the Gus
tody of Mr.. Callum.

THE PRESIDENTS POWER
Representative Jenkins Think. IN.
Executive Contention is Rirbt.

Representative Jenkins of Wisconsin was
one OF the first to give his opinion IN a
Star reporter that the power to recognize
either the belligerency or Independence of
Cuba rested with the President and ac
cording to international law there was
nothing to Justify such recognition. He
was asked by Star reporter today if he
had changed his mind since reading what
has been said in favor of the power of
Congress in this regard. He replied:
No. On the contrary, with all due re-
spect to the judgment of the able men who
have so spoken. what l have read has only
served to streng then my opinion l base
my judgment on the Constitution. That is
the source of authority. Anything else
Is mere opinion. BY that instrument the
power was divided and distributed into leg
islative, executive and judicial Now the
question is, whether the right we are talk
Ing about is legislative or executive. Our
government is so different from all others
that we can obtain no aid by examining
the formation ard history of other ma
tfons. There is an entire absence of an
express provision of law, and of what is
properly called authority, and it will be
difhcult 10 have more than opinion. While
the question might come before the Su-
preme Court of the United States in an
incidental way 1t is not likely that either
Congresssor the President would feel bound
by the decision as long as difference OF
Il do not understand that either the
President or Congress takes opposite views
for the purpose of usurping power, but
each is governed by its construction of
granted powers. There Is chance for
argument on both sides, but 1 think the
better view Is as / have expressed myself.
We are all invited to look into the Con-
stiturion, and II is that instrument that
confirms me in my judgment. 1t would
seem as though all negotiations between
this nation and all foreign nations are TO
be conducted by the President. Congress
has power to regulate commerce with for
eign nations and to declare war. All of
this can be done without communicating
with foreign nations, Notwithstanding that
we might get more favorable terms by
communication with regard to commerce.
The President has power to make treaties
by and with the advice of the Senate but
not Congress. In the same way he ap-
points ambassadors and other public min
isters and oonsuls. But he receives ambas-
sadors ministers and consuls from for
efgn countries without the consent of Con-
gress or either house. therefore, il rests
with the President to receive or refuse to
receive any one representing Cuba. and to
receive an ambassador from Cuba would
be the highest forr1 OF recognition"

SENATOR JONES.
Opposition to His Reelection De-
velOpfnE In Nevada.


Political circles are interested in the op-
position which has made its appearance in
Nevada to the reelection of Senator Jones'
1t Is not known how strong the opposition
is, except that the man who has announced
himself is a wel-known editor politician
and banker He is George s. Nixon Of
Winnemucca- In an address to the people
of the state announcing his candidacy he
acknowledges the ability of Senator Jones
and places his opposition to the reelection
of the latter on the ground that he is rot
a resident of the state. He says that SEN
ator Jenes lives at Santa Monica, Cal
where his interests and family are. He de-
ciares himself silver man, but says that
he will vote for a protective tariff to test
the republican claim that 1t will bring pros
perity.
Among politicians here the belief has
been that Senator Jones has been invin-
chile In Nevada, and that his reelection
was simply a matter of time The demo-
cratic national committee may feel called
upon to take a hand in this case as In tn
or Ser ator Dubois. Senator Jones has
long been known to havs been the main
spring back of many Of the most Important
movements Of the silver forces. He fire.
quently does the planning. while the ex-
ecuuon Is left to others. He Is one of the
aDiest writer's in the world. on bimeta ilic

slaughter Preferred Against Him
A subcommittee of the Senate committee
on judiciary is investigating charge of
manslaughter, which has been made
against Judge Charles B. Howry of Mis-
sissippi. who has been appointed to a; po-
sftion on the bench of the Court of Claims.
The opposition to confirmation filed its
charge before the first meeting of the ses-
sion was held by the committee and while
strong influence was brought to bear to
have the charge ignored and to secure inn
mediate confirmation, the more conserva-
tive members of the committee asked for
delay In order to investigate the facts.
The friei.ds of Judge Howry admit that
he did kill 4 man, but claim that the homi-
eide was entirely justifiable
The man who was killed was a Mr. Sui
nVan, and he was a lawyer engaged in the
same case, but on opposite side from
Howry at Oxford, Miss. They Quarreled
over the case and Howry's friends say
that as beth were men of courage it speed
lily became a question of which should die.
Both men armed and both drew their
weapons Hence they contend that Howry
acted In self-defense. An oxford grand
jury investigated the case and took this
view of it, refusing to return a true bill
against Howry. The killing occurred about
ten years ago. and Howry has been ap-
pointed to and confirmed in three federal
offices since He is now assistant in the
office of the solicitor general.
Sullivan, the man who was killed, was
brother of Hon. W. V. Sullivan, mem
ber-elect of Congress from the second Mis-
