Agreement Heard i'm the Habeas Cor
pus Proceedings.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 4.-The case Of John B.
Reese. member of the executive committee
of the United Mine Workers of America,
who was imprisoned for alleged contempt
of the Federal District Court at Topeka
Kan, and subsequently released on writ
of habeas corpus issued by United States
Circuit Judge Thayer, was heard before
the attorneys TO specify the issue on which
the contention would be urged. This was
done. 1t was determined TO make the ques-
ton of jurisdictions paramount. Attorney
RoSsingtcn began the arguments for the
relator, contending that the United States
District Court of Kansas had no jurisdic-
ton over his client because he was not a
resident of Kansas, since the restraining
order applied to the citizens of that State
As Reese was not a party to the original
suit he could not be amenable to any or
temporary restraining order was not served
on Reese. and therefore he did not vio-
late it.
G.. Z. Benton, attorney for the Western
Coal Company, who followed Attorney Ros-
sington. presented an elaborate argument
showing grounds which the writ should
be denied He was followed by o. T. BoaZ
counsel for the relator.
At the conclusion of the oral arguments
Judge Thayer announced he would file his
opinion in Topeka at some future time He
render a decision on the petition to-day
The opinion of Judge Thayer is anxiously
awaited. IL involves the principle of the
question OF government by injunction,
which was, in 1896, and probably will be
next year, an important campaign issue.

the islands, pending the establishment of a
permanent form of government.
