EPPSTEIN IS in LUCK.
Extradition Papers Have Not Yet
Arrived and He May Be Discharged
Today by Judge Gunster.

If the extr1dition papers for Morris
Eppstein, the young man wanted in
Chicago for larceny. do not arrive from
Harrisburg in time to be presented in
court at 9 o'clock this morning the
prisoner will be allowed to go free.
Friday when Eppstein was brought
before court on a habeas corpus, Judge
Gunster continued the hearing until Q
o'clock yesterday morning at the re-
quest of the police who said the extra
dition papers were or their way from
Harrisburg. When that hour arrived
and the papers were not forthcoming,
Judge Gunster granted a further con-
tinuance until 1.30 o'clock in the after
noon.
At 1.30 o'clock the papers were still
wanting and no word of them was re-
ceived. Judge Gunster said he would
give the police until 10 o'clock this
morning and that if the papers were
not here at that time he would order
Eprstein's release.
At the request of Attorney Nathan
Nidaver, Eprstein was released on bail
in the meantime. Simon Hinerfelt be-
came his bondsman in the sum of $500.
The police received q telegram last
night saying that the governor would
act upon the papers Tuesday. This
means that they will not be here at 10
o'clock this morning and that Eppstein
will be accorded his liberty, il Judge
Gunster does not change his mind.

As he said he would, Mr.. Holgate yes
terday went before Judge Archibald and
secured an extension of the order gov
erning the sessions of the contest COM
mission in Carbondale, so that IL will
include Archibald in the list of towns
whose voters are to be examined in the
Pioneer City.
At Saturdays session of the COM
mission, Mr.. Holgate proceeded to call
voters from the Third ward and Sec
ond district of the First ward of Arch
bald, but he was stopped by the COM
missioners when Mr.. Mcdonald pro-
tested that the order authorizing the
Carbondale sittings of the commission
only included Carbondale Carbondale
township, Fell, Jermyn and Mayfeld
and, consequently, voters from other
places would have to be examined In
Scranton.
Mr. Holgate tried to show that there
was nothing to be gained or lost on
either side by having the witnesses ex-
amined in one place or the other, sc
long as they were examined, and en-.
deavored to have Mr.. McDonald's pro-
test overruled. The commissioners
could not see their way clear to go be-
yond the order of court so Mr.. Holgate
said he would have the order of court
enlarged.
A petition signed by T. T.. Reynolds
who is serving the subpoenas for Mr.
Langstaff, was Mr.. Holgate's argument
for the enlargement asked for. This
petition set forth that the two dis.
tricts yet to be investigated in Arch
bald are relatively as near Carbondale
as is the borough of Jermyn; that most
of the witnesses summoned are poor
people. who can i'll afford to pay rail-
road fare that by going to Carbondale
instead of Scranton they can save 371!
cents, and that the voters for this
and other reasons would prefer Car.
bondale to Scranton as the place where
they should so to be examined.
Among the incidental things that Mr.
Reynolds makes affidavit to is that
many of the Archibald witnesses who
were examined in Scranton walked
the whole distance to and fro, being toe
poor to pay the railroad fare.
Judge Archibald made an order te
the effect that all of the borough OF
Archibald not already examined be in
cluded in the territory governed by the
order authorizing the session in Car.
bondale.
No objection was offered to the grant,
ing of the order.

WILL NOT BE A DRAW.
Tonight's Fight in Music Hall Is for
Decision.

Tom Williams, the Australian, who is
to box Jim Judge, the Scranton welter-
weight, twenty rounds at Music hall
tonight, reached here from New York
city yesterday afternoon. He is stop
ping at the City hotel, on Penn avenue.
With Williams are his manager, Fred
Meschel, and handler, Jack O'Brien.
Williams looks everything that has
been said and written about him. His
appearance as we'll as his record is evil
dence that Judge has a big contract
on his hands.
Last night a telegram was received
from Ike Long, of Wilkes-Bar stat
ing that from 100 to $50 persons from
that city would be here and asking if
the Delaware and Hudson train due TO
leave Scranton at 1l.3S o'clock could be
held until after the finish of the con-
test in case the wind-up came late.
Manager Skelly, of the American
Sporting club, saw r. L. White, the
Delaware and Hudson company's rep
resentative in this city, and received
assurances that the train would be
held fifteen minutes. This information
was telephoned to Mr., Long.
This indicates that Wilkes-B Barre,
which always sends a crowd of good
size and quality. will be well represent
ed as usual tonight.
Two important things are promised
by Manager Skelly: The main bout
will begin at $50 o'clock sharp and it
will positively be for decision. There
will not be a draw.
The Williams crowd began last night
to quietly pick up all the Judge bets
possible. Judges friends responded
for time but finally decided to hold
Oft for better than even money at the
ringside. After 10 o'clock there was no
betting. Win or lose Judge has no ex-
cuses to offer. He was never in bet
ter condition. He says so himself and
his statement is seconded by Bobby
Dobbs who has been training him, and
who will be in his corner tonight.
Judge finished work in Eckel's gym
nasium yesterday afternoon and will
weigh within half pound of the linn
ii at O'clock this afternoon.

MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES, TOO.
Contrary to a Former Ruling They
Must Be Stamped.

Under a decision of the treasury de-

demanded by the war revenue bill that
ten cent. stamp be placed ~n mar
riage certificates. By this Is meant the
certificate given the contracting par
ties. The certificate returned to the
clerk of the courts by the clergymen
or justice Of the peace is exempt.
This is reverse of the former de-
cision made by Commissioner Scott.
Persons who have been married since
July / would do well to secure a ten
cent documentary stamp and place it
upon their marriage certificates.
