Proceedings Attacking the Validity
Of an Appointment.
U.S. COMMISSIONER MILLS DEFENDANT
Object is to Have the Question
:. JudiciaIIy Determined.
ISSUANCE OF THE WRIT

District Attorney Davis this afternoon
instituted a proceeding against United
States Commissioner Samuel c. Mills to
test the validity of his (MilisD appointment
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Davis, last
July, in letter to the Senate judiciary
committee, as fully reported in The Star
questioned the power of the District SILL
pIeme Court to appoint United States COM
nissioners. Quoting the law in question,
the act of May rs, 1885, which, after legis-
iating all United States commissioners out
of office, June 30, 1897, provided for new
appointments, Mr.. Davis submitted that the
law vested the appointment in the District
courts of each of the judicial districts of
the United States, he contending that, as
the District of Columbia is not in any ju-
dfcial district of the United States, the
District Supreme Court was without power
and authority to appoint Commissioner
Mills. ..
Writlef Ccrtiorari.
In order to have judicial determination
Of the question, Mr.. Davis, on behalf of
the United States, today obtained a writ
OF certiorarf in the case of William Beck
EFT, who was convicted in the Police Court
the Sd of last month of petit larceny and
sentenced to jail for sixty days, in default
of a fine of eS15.
Yesterday Beckett made an applicable
to Commissioner Mills for release, under
the sections of the Revised Statutes of
the United States relating to poor con-
victs. and notices was duly served on the
United States by Commissioner Mills of
the hearing of the application of the said
William Beckett, and that he was about to
hear the said application and to act there
on. +.4r 80 : .5.sa g.. go
The law provides that where a convict,
unable to pay the fine, serves thirty days
of the term imposed in default thereof he
shall. upon application to a United States
commissioner, be released
Mr.. Davis Contention
Mr. Davis contends in his petition for the
writ of certiorari, first, that Commissioner
Mills was not lawfully appointed; second,
that Beckett is imprisoned by lawful au-
thority for specific time, and is not mere
ly held in jail for the non-payment of
fine, and, third, that the Police Court is
one whose fines. imprisonments and SEN
fences do not come within the law relating
to poor convicts
Therefore. Mr.. Davis contends further
the acts and attempted acts of Commits
sioner Mills are utterly null and void
The petition was presented TO Judge Cole
who directed the writ to issue at once and
he will. it is expected, hear the case some
time this week

Conclusions to Power House Affair
Not Ready.
Fire Marshal Drew has not yet made out
his report on the power house fire, but he
thinks it will be ready before the last of
the week. He remarked to a Star re-
porter this afternoon that the loss would
amount to about the sum stated in The
Star at the time of the fire.
A letter has been received by Chief Par
ris from a business man, who expresses the
belief that the fire was probably the work
of an incendiary. He says that while the
fire bells were ringing. and before he knew
where the alarm came from, he noticed
two lights in an upper story of the eastern
end of the big brick structure.
This, he said. was such an unusual thing
in the power house building at so late ar
hour, it attracted his attention.
Col. Drew took charge of the commune
cation, and made an investigation. Today
he expressed himself as fully satisfied that
the fire had resulted from spontaneous
combustion.
