prison authorities ind themselves on
very unpleasant grill.
Lawyers say that Judge Torrance will
probably be reversed in the Supreme
Court, but declare that if he is sustained
they cannot see the end of the contro-
versy. Rule "a of the Supreme Court reads
as follows:
OF any Judge or court declining to grant q
writ OF habeas corpus, the Gus tody OF q pris-
oner shall not be disturbed.
But here. again, the very issue raised
by the Torrance decision crops up. Does
this rule apply 10 Federal procedure? 1t
is generally believed that those courts
make rules for themselves, and it would
be presumption on the part Of the State
courts to apply their own IDEAS of pro-
cedure to higher courts. Again, the State
Supreme Court when asked to review the
Torrance decision will be placed in the
delicate position of passing upon the
question OF the limit of jurisdiction OF
court that is higher in authority. and to
whom all decisions OF the State courts
may ultimately be appealed TO, and of
course the Supreme Court might find its
own verdict reversed, and then there would
be problem that would beat the fifteen
puZZe.
One advantage OF the present contro-
versy preciptated by the San Diego de-
ClSlOA Dc Il ucCldAdllOI III uU I'LL ISldh-
able, terms by the United States Supreme
Court of the exact scope Of the jursdic
tion of the Federal courts, a question that
no lawyer seems at present 10 know. For
ten years the partisans of the doctrine of
State rights have seen 1t gradually willing
before the eyer-rea ching arm of the Gen
eral Government, until there are those to-
day who say that the idea is mere myth
in reality. The recent labor strikes laid
down some new law on the question of
the jurisdiction of Federal courts. The
Durrant case was an innovation that sur
prised the legal mind generally, and the
Torrance decision seems to have brought
forward an issue that will probably call
for a showdown.
Deputy Attorney General Carter, who
appeared for Edgar in San Diego. returned
yesterday. He refused to discuss the prob
able effects OF the decision, beyond ad-
mtting that the issue raised would prob
ably have to be ultimately determined by
the United States Supreme Court.

CAPTAIN EDGAR
Will APPEAL
Judge Torrance's Decision
Creates a Queer Legal
Muddle.
Supreme Court Will Be Asked
to Determine Federal
Jurisdiction.
Lawyers Say the Controversy Will
Make New Law Concerning
State Rights.

Captain EIgar does not anticipate any
serious financial embarrassment over that
$500 fine impo ed upon him by Judge Tor
rance OF San Diego because he did not
hang Murderer Ebanks on October s. AS
matter of fact Edgar docs not believe
that the penalty will be exacted, and his
legal advisers are of the same opinion.
What Judge Torrance's ideas on the
matter are is not known, but he has the
satisfaction of knowing that he has stirred
up the biggest legal m uddle that the State
has seen in many day.
Just by way of making matters interest
ing Edgar will apply at once To the Su-
preme Court for writ of certlorari to have
the Judgment OF the San Diego jurist re-
viewed. Now it happens that the Torrance
opinion, stripped OF its legal verbiage. de-
clares that the Federal courts had no busi-
ness interfering in behalf of Ebanks, and
of course this is likely to cause a ripple IN
high judicial ciICles. But this is not all.
" hen the Supreme Court Is asked for a
decision in the matter it will be called on
to pass upon the exact limitations of a
Federal Court and the general opinion is,
according to the trend of matters lately,
that the scope OF these courts about covers
everything on the face of the earth.
Not since the days of the Sharon trial
has there been a conflict between the Cali
fornia ana the United States courts. and
it is hardly necessary 10 add that the hon.
ors were al with the latter. The issues
stirred up by the Torrance decision are
somewhat similar to those of Sharon
fame, put rather more implicated. In
fact the Torrance decision promises to
make some new law one way or the other
before the last is heard of it.
The case of Ebanks, as far as it is con-
nected with the Federal courts, is iden IT,
cal with that of Durrant and Worden. At
the last moment his attorneys succeeded
in making that now historical appeal to
the Circuit courts, and upon it being re-
fused an appeal was taken of course to the
United States Supreme Court AT this
point in the present controversy the MUIR
derer may be forgotten for all practical
purposes. The matter OF his ultimate
fate of course becomes separate matter
as far as the taEgle the Torrance decision
has raised.
Judge Torrance declares, in fact, that
The Federal courts had no Jurisdiction
when the application for the writ of
habeas corpus was made, inasmuch as no
Federal issue was made, and that tue ap-
peal 10 the Supreme Court at Washington
consequently was no justification for the
Warden OF the prison refusing 10 carry
out the death sentence pronounced by the
court In which Ebanks was tried. So the

The Hall of Justice Again

Owners.
Their Rents Raised and Now
Trouble Is Brewing for
Them.
North End Improvement Club Will
Meet the Supervisors Next
Tuesday.

Why doesn't the Hall OF Justice go up?
That's what the North End Club wants TO
know, and the reason for delay will be
found if possible. On Tuesday next, at a
meeting of the Building Com mittee of the
Board of Supervisors, representatives OF
the North End Club will appear and wall
long and loud. John Shirley. president of
the club, has issued the following circular:
To Whom II Nay Concern: On Tuesday, the
9th inst, at IL o'clock A. NJ, the Building
Committee of the Board of Supe rviSors wilt
investigate the delay in the construction of
the Hall of Justice. Please be present
JOHN SHIRLEY,
President of the North End Club.
1t is rumored that the Supervisors will
take hand in the delay themse yes, but
at any rate the North ender5 are getting
warm. When the leases were procured by
those who rent the buildings in the vicin-
ity of the hall they were taken out With
the understanding that the hall would be
completed by the 1sI OF October at the
outside. Now the leases have been signed
and the rents raised, but the wall of the
new building has not as yet raised It's
mead above the fence around the lot, and
hence the disturbance.
1t is claimed by the irate mem bers OF
the club that the contract has not vet
been let for the terra Gotta work which is
to be put in on the second story of the
building, and that there will be another
delay of six months when the first story j.
con mpletsd. What the outcome will be is
hard TO determine, but the club evidently
means business and has the sympathy oi

CIVIL SERVICE
AND IT'S FAULT
Collector Jackson Agrees
With Collector Lynch's
Position.
Responsible Subordinates Should
Be Appointed by Their
Principals.
Bonds Demanded of Deputies Are
Illegal and Cannot Be Col
lected.

The interview published in yesterdays
issue of THE CALL, wherein Internal
Revenue Collector Lynch explained why
the civil service regulations were in need
of amendment caused no end of comment t
In political circles.
On all sides it was conceded that Col
lector Lynch reasons could not be gain
said; that where an official gave bonds for
the conduct of his Office he should be al
lowed to select the employees for whose
acts he was to be held responsible on his
bonds.
Postmaster Montague, who is held on
his bonos for whole lot of employees,
seemed pleased when the matter was
brOached, but declined to express an opin-
ION, alleging as reason that it would not
be proper for him to unfavorably criticize
the laws under which he had been ap-
pointel TO an office of so much import
ance as is the postmastership OF San
Francisco. While he declined to speak
he looked unutterabIe things, but whether
the unutterabillty of his aspect was owing
to his natural reticence or was expressive
of his approval of Collector Lynch's re-
marks history failelh to record.
United States Sub-Treasurer Campbell
Y. Berry is In a worse fix than the rest.
He has not even one appointment at his

In his office who have the handling OF tn e

all.
But despite the strait jacket in which he
has been placed he ueclined to express
any opinion in the matter. He is III the
position of man mired up to his armplts

Three Hundred Dollars Will Save q
Worthy Widow Her Home.

Worthy Widow Her Home.
To be turned out OF ones home for the
lack OF $500 in ready cash when there is
about $1,000 due you from an unsettled
estate looks rather hard and unjust. This
is the situation in which Mrs. Eva Shane,
living at 27I4 Bryant street, says she finds
herself.
According to her story, year ago last
MAY Mrs. Shane's husband died, leaving
b er nothing but the one piece of property,
and that unknown TO her was iHcum bered
with a mortgage Of $4,000 with some back
interest due on il. On December last
the mortgage was foreclosed and on June
so of this year the decree was executed
and deed for the property given to the
mortgagee. Yesterday Mrs. Snane re-
ceived notification that the holders of the
deed would tomorrow make a motion for
a writ Of assistance 10 have her removed
from the premises.
The back interest amounts now to $500,
and this she is unable 10 raise The
estate of the mother of Mr.. Shane has not
yet been settled, rs one OF the heirs is
still under age. When this is settled
there will come TO Mrs. Shane and her
son in the neighborhood of $1200. Mrs.
Shane says that if she were not expecting
trls money she would not feel that she
had any right 10 expect leniency, but
with this in sight she thinks it a hard
ship to be deprived of her home.
Mrs. Shane is a dressmaker by trade
and has a crippled son whom she sup
ports by her work. II turned out of her
home she does not know what she will or
can do. While she can give no security
TO kindly disposed person who might be
willing 10 advance The money to her, she
says that she can pay it back in install
ments of $50 a month until she receives
the money coming 10 her from the estate
OF her mother-in-law, when she could
make the entire sum good.

A Coin That Has Disappeared.
"Thoughstas dapap 1886, %

InOQRQt4ttDt~1B 1B1l4ketAe- ,1ooo, ou'
serEe9 Z 1umismatist, was issued in
great sufficiency, the coins soon disap-
peared from circulation, and are held
as rarities. They are seldom offered
for sale, but those which have been Of
fered brought large price. There are
severa theories existing among coins
experts as to the disappearance Of this
penny, being Of the older style and
large, but the most generally accepted
is that the penny was gobbled up in
consequence of a rumor which was
started on the authority OF an employe
Of the United States mint where the
pennies were made. This rumo rwas
that in making the composition of the
metals for the coin bar Of gold was
melted up by mistake for bar Of nick
ell, and that the reason why the penny
disappeared was in consequence OF its
intrinsic value. The result Of this and
other stories about the 1856 penny is
that though there were just as many
coined as there were Of "a, '55 or 81
pennies, one Of the sc pennies will to-
day bring nearly one hundren times as
much money as those OF the other years
mentioned. Some numismatists have
even gone so far as to test the compo-
sition. They found no trace Of gold.
It is one of the many peculiar things
about the scarcity of some coins. =
