Ex-senator, Now judge, Allen of Nebraska

Ex-senator, Now Judge, Allen of Nebraska
In n Row with the Federal Authorities.
OMAHA. Neb.. May 3.-Ex-Senator William
Vincent Allen is about to try conclusions with
the Federal court, the regular army and
the Acknowledgement. Yesterday he ordered
the arrest OF Lieut.. George Langhorne OF the
First Cavalry. stationed at Fort Robinson,
charging him with contempt OF court.
Senator Allen Is on the district bench. having
been recently appointed to that position. The
collision with the Federal authorities grove
out OF the arrest OF two soldiers by the Sheriff
OF Dawes county. when they were In tho GUS
tody Of an army officer for desertion. Lieut..
Langhorne. as Adjutant OF his command. wrote
the Sheriff a letter calling his attention to Q
clause OF the Federal law. making subject
to Imprisonment. those who shall refuse to
surrender a soldier on demand OF the
Federal Government. Senator Allen aocepted
this as a threat that the Lieutenant would have
the court arrested, and promptl had the Lieu
tenant arrested on the charge OF contempt.
The officer has appealed. to Federal Judge
Munger at Omaha and he will be released
pending habeas corpus proceedings tomorrow.
Judge Allen says the civil authorities are not
inferior to the army and he will not stand such
meddling. He declares the Lieutenant has de.
liberately threatened the court with arrest and
the contempt proceedings must be tried. He
cannot permit any interference from the Fed
eral court, as he says q district Judge Is the
sole Judge OF the dignity OF his own court and
cannot be reviewed by a higher. body. not oven
by q Federal court.

however. been furnished by Mr.. Atkinson
with a copy Of the pamphlet he had circulated.
and could say that they were not Senate docu-
ments and bore nothing on hem to indicate
that they had been printed for tho Senate.
