THE PEPKE CASE,

CASE OF EMIL j. PEPKE, A NORTH
DAKOTA SOLDIER CHARGED
WITH SMUGGLING, COMES UP
ON MONDAY.
Washington, Dec. 15.-The case of
Emil j. Pepke, q soldier who served
in the Philippines, which will be ar
gued on appeal in the United States
supreme court next Monday, is the one
which the attorney general expects to
be used to decide the validity of the
government which the United States
has established in Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
Pepke enlisted in the First North
Dakota in April 1898. He was
wounded at the battle OF Tobek and
discharged April 25, 1899, at San Fran
cisco. He did not return direct to his
home in Dakota, but stopped on the
way in Chicago. There he was ar
rested for smuggling. He had in his
possession fourteen diamond rings,
which were confscated. He had
brought them with him from Manila,
and had made no declaration when
passing the customs officials. He sued
to recover possession of the rings.
This is the case which heads the list
Of the ones which involve the legality
OF the insular governments established.
This goes right to the heart of the
whole question. Under the terms of
the Paris treaty the duty of providing
government for these islands. was left
to congress. II it is decided that the
territory which was taken becomes a
part of this government, just as much
as any other territory, then congress
cannot provide a government which
undertakes to deal with the islands as
foreign territory If it is decided
that he can have his rings back, and
that q. tariff cannot be collected on the
trade between the two lands any more
than on the trade between the states
VI the naIlOn, Che present government
for the islands is illegal.
This case is considered more Of a
test case than the Porto Rican ones,
because no other points are involved.
In this case the rings We're confiscated
and are now in the hands of the gov
ernment. The point involved is
whether the man is guilty of SNUG
Cling. In the Porto Rican cases the
duties We're paid under protest, and
the question of jurisdiction may arise.
Charles H. Aldrich, former solicitor
general in the attorney generals Office
during the Harrison administration, a
very able lawyer, is the attorney for
Pepke. The attorney general will
present the case for the government.

THE SUPREME COURT WILL PASS
UPON THE NOME RECEIVER

" o4N 111L >SoANI IlECEl v CR-
SHIP CASE.
Washington, Dec. 14.-The supreme
court will not pass upon the question
OF jurisdiction in the Noyes case un-
til perhaps after the holidays. The
fifteen days allowed by the court for
the filing Of additional briefs, will not
expire until Dec. IS, about the time
an adjournment will be taken for the
holldays. The supreme court hands
down its opinions on Mondays. Shortly
after the holiday recess, it ought to
be known what the court thinks about
the right of the San Francisco court
OF appeals to review the work done by
Judge Noyes. II that opinion is to
the effect that the San Francisco court
is without jurisdiction, it is believed
that the Lane syndicate will permit
the whole matter to drop. If, on the
other hand, the San Francisco court
has jurisdiction, then it may be ex-
pected that the Lane people will file
formal afidavits with the attorney
general, and demand an investigation.
If the attorney general should de-
eide to proceed, he would lay the

DR.. Lynch is a nephew of Sir John

to secure divorce from G. H. Hollen-

OF the marital ties. she received word
tnat her husband was dying in the

strained relations were forgotten in
the wave of tender feeling which swept
oyer her. The next train from Fargo
hurried her eastward She helped
nurse her husband back to health.
Then she was taken i'll, and the same
physician who attended her husband
saw that she received all the attention
possible. Meanwhile the divorce mill
