BY dint Of industry unparalleled in this
country, there will launch the finest of
our new battleships on the oath Of the pres
ent mOnth-nOt 20 months from the day the
keel was laid. The ships could have been
launched two months ago. but, to facilitate
their final completion. they have been
kept purposely on the stocks till a magni1i-
cent new crane Of great capacity could be
erected to handle the armor and other
heavy weights yet to go in the vessels
The dual event of two ships Of such
magnitude being launched on tie same DAY
will mark an era in the history of our New
Navy, while each ship i'll itself will be the
heaviest mass of the kind ever moved from
keel-blOcks to water in this country. Five
thousand tons Of steel-the equivalent of
couple of blocks OF good-sized houses
Is tremendous mass to transfer under
any circumstances, but to do SO without
the slightest strain to the structure, is
something calling for skill and careful
forethought and yet, that is the sum of
only one of these unfinished ships.
The ships were provided for. by act Of
congress approved March 2, 1895. and on
the End Of the following January their
construction was awarded to the Newport
News company for the individual contract
price of two million, two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. and that, too, without the
usual inducement of a bonus for excess Of
speed That the vessels will be equal to
all the requirements, goes without question,

THE EXPERT HILL BILL
JUDGE MINISTER HEARS ARGU-
MENT ON THE INJUNCTION.
Defense Made by Board of Works
The Park Investigation
Still Drngs.

Judge McMaster. of the Superior Court,
yesterday heard the petition of Councilman
John Grail praying for an injunction
against the Board of Public Works and the
city, to prevent them from paying out 81 300
for the examination made of the water
works plant by Expert Hill. A temporary
injunction had already been issued. After
hearing argument on the petition yesterday
Judge McMaster took the case under adj
visement and continued the injunction in
definitely.
In support of the petition affdavits were
filed by Councilmen Grail and Allen in
which they declared that no action had been
taken by ordinance authorizing the pur-
chase of the water works, or any prelimin-
airy investigation of the plant as to the
value of it. The affidavits asserted that Elk
pert Hill, who made the investigation, was
not at any time employee of the city and
that his service could not be properly
charged to any appropriation of money
made by the Council.
Affidavits were also filed by the defendants
in which they claimed that. the Board of
Works had ordered the city engineer to
make an investigation of the water plant
and that he was given authority to employ
any help needed. The defendants affdavits

PENDANTS asserted that the Board of Works

one could dispute that fact, it was alleged
The attorney believed that the Council had
contemplated something of this kind when
it provided a fund of $4,000 for city civil
engineers salaries. On the other hand the
plaintiffs argued that as the Council had
made no specific appropriation for paying
for expert service in the water works mat
ter the Board of Works had no legal right
to make a contract for such services The
attention of the court was called to the
following, from Section "a of the city char

BACK TO STATE COURTS
JUDGE BAKER REFUSES TO CONSID-
Err THE NEsBIT PETITION.
Indeterminate Sentence Law One to
Be Measured by State
Constitution.

Three days ago motion was filed in the
United States Court asking leave to bring
habeas corpus proceedings against Warden
Hert, of the Indiana Reformatory for the
release OF Calvin Nesbit of Cynthiana,
Posey county. who has been an inmate of
the Reformatory since September, 1897 Mes
bit was sent to prison from Posey county
on the charge of betraying a young girl.
The motion requesting permission to bring
habeaS corpus proceedings was filed by
Frank B. Posey, of Evansville. 1t averred
that Nesbit is illegally restrained from his
liberty because he was sentenced for four
years. which is a fixed term, and there
fore in violation Of the statutes providing for
the indeterminate sentence 1t was also
claimed for Nesbt that the sentence imposed
violated his constitutional rights as a citi-
zen.
Yesterday Judge Baker gave an opinion in
the case in which he denies Nesbits at
torney permission to file the habeas corpus
petition. The court holds that the matter
should be passed on by the State court.
The question presented" says Judge
Baker, sis one primarily involving the con-
struction of the Constitution and statutes of
the State. 1t is one which concerns the due
administration Of the criminal law of the
State; and whether such sentence is I'M
authorized or void or is simply erroneous,
is question peculiarly within the juris-
diction of the court of the State, and is one
with which this court ought not to con-
Germ itself unless it is clearly apparent that
it is necessary to do so to maintain the
supremacy of the Constitution of the United
States against the adverse judgment of the
state courts If the petitioner has
neglected to appeal to the Supreme Court
of the State for relief from the alleged
wrongful sentence until he has lost the right
to make such appeal, he is in no situation
to invoke the aid of this court to relieve
him from the consequences of his negligence.
If his sentence is unauthorized by the
statutes, and for that reason is in con-
travention Of the Constitution of the United
States, he can bring habeas corpus proceed
ings in the proper state court of original
jurisdiction and procure a decision on that
question If the decision of such court is an
adverse one he can have it reviewed by the
Supreme Court of the State and if its de-
cision is adverse he can again procure its
review by the Supreme Court of the United
States touching any right secured to him by
the Constitution of the United States, WHICH
he has distinctly asserted and which has
been denied to him by the courts of the
State. AS no special circumstances are
shown requiring earlier interference this
court perceives no reason why it should in
terfere until the petitioner has been denied
by the judgment of the higher court of the
State some right. privilege or immunity Sc
cured to him by the Constitution and law of
the United States. Leave to file the petition
is denied"

Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, has I'M
der consideration a case which presents
some perplexing features. The case came
up yesterday on demurrer. 1t is the suit of
Mrs. Clara Wambaugh against the Mer-
chants National Bank of this city to quiet
the title to certain real estate. Seven years
ago Mrs. Wambaugh deposited $S75 in the
Merchants National Bank, receiving a GER
tificate of deposit. When she desired to
draw her money from the bank she was
unable to find her certificate and she con-
cluded she had lost it. She explained her
predcament at the bank and was informed
that new certificate could be issued, but
she would have to give an indemnity mort
gage on her property for the value of the
original certificate in the event that it should
ever turn up in any other hands. Mrs.
Wambaugh gave the mortgage and the bank
still holds it lien against her property.
The certificate has never come to light and
now an action is brought to have Mrs.
Wambaugh's title to the property quoted.
She feels that it is a cloud on the real estate
which should be removed. Her attorneys
assert that she never Endorsed the lost GER
tificate to any one and they hold that there
is no danger of the bank having to pay the
money again. The question the court has to
decide involves the length of time the bank
may hold this lien against the property.
The bank people insist that the indemnity
mortgage should be allowed to stand at
least ten years.
