MANDAMUs AGAINST EVANS.
of Pensions Com
manded to Rcscind an Order.

Justice Cole yesterday ordered that a
writ Of mandamus issue against Henry
Clay Evans, in his official capacity, COM
manding him to rescind an order dis
barring Henry d. Phillips from practice
before that bureau. The order also re-
quires the payment of certain fees to
Phillips in connection with pension
claims he was prosecuting before the
Commissioner of Pensions.
The circumstances which led to the fill
ing of the petition for mandamus by Phil
lips are substantially as follows:
On January g last two petitions for
wrlts of mandamus against Commissioner
Evans were filed in the District Supreme
Court by Phillips. On February 5, 1850,
the Commissioner OF Pensions obtained
an order from the Secretary of the Inte-
rior disbarring Phillips from further prac-
tice- The reason assigned for such order
was, 1t is stated, that Phillips had allow
ed notary public who was connected
with his business to charge a fee of 90
cents for taking an affidavit in the State
of New Jersey. while Evans insisted that
the law of that State prohibited the pay
ment of a greater fee for such services
than II cents. This contention of Evans
was attacked, and the question raised
was promptly referred to the Assistant
Attorney General for an opinion, who, on
April 26, 1890, sustained Phillips conten-
ton, and stated that in the State of New
Jersey there is no law governing the
charges for notarial services, but that by
long custom the usual and regular fee
had come to be 30 cents in ordinary cases.
Thereupon the Secretary Of the Interior,
April 26. 1900. issued an order canceling
and revoking and holding for naught the
order of February 8, disbarring Phillips.
Notwithstanding this. 1t is said, Evans.

between February and April 20. refused
to recognize Phillips as an attorney. and
in his cases solicited the appointment of
other attorneys. The petition for writ of
mandamus recites that in the case of Sa-
rah A. Dockerty, a widow. filed by Phil
lips, the Commissioner of Pensions had
denied him a fee because another attorney
had been substituted in his place during
the period of disbarment. Phillips con-
terded that he had never been disbarred
and that any acts done by H. Clay Evans
could not invade nor destroy his rights
under the law.
The other case before the courts was
that of Louisa Aab, for accrued pension
due her deceased husband. George Aab.
Phillips had received a fee of So direct
from the applicant. Evans held that this
payment was contrary to law and de-
manded that Phillips surrender that
amount. Phillips contended that an ac-
crued pension case was not a claim for
pension" within the meaning of the stat
ute, and that the matter was one of con-

tract between the attorney and the ap-
plicant.
Both of these cases were brought as
test cases" The questions involved were
argued by counsel before Judge Cole on
March IL and this morning the Judge an
nounced his decision. In both cases he
decides in favor of Phillips.
In the Dockerty case, the court held
that Phillips was never disbarred: that
he had not lost his standing nor any of
his rights; no other attorney was substi-
tuted in his stead; that the United States
cannot through the illegal acts of ono of
its officers take advantage of its own
wrong. and that therefore Phillips is en-
titled to be recognized and paid the fee
usual in such cases. He ordered that a
peremptory writ of mandamus should
issue against Evans, Pension Commission
er, to this effect. In the Aab case, JUS
tice Cole held that an accrued pension
did not constitute "a claim for pension"
and that compensation for services there
In should be paid direct by the applicant
Justice Cole held that the court had ju-
risdiction of the case and could compel
the Commissioner to withhold from Mrs.
Aabs current pension the fee taken from
Mr. Phillips.

THE HUMILIATION OF IT.

Editor Democrat:
It Is no less astonishing than humilist-
ing that there should be 80 large fol-
lowing OF prominent people OF good
standing In society who favor the traffic
In strong drink and close their eyes to
its degrading and pernicious Influence,
who unite with the motley crowd who
have become demoralized by the fiery
element, in every endeavor to foil the
efforts of the temperance workers to
crush out the terrible scourRe. People,
saw, who are intent on wiping out every
vestige of the law that prohibits the
traffic, and substituting q something In
It's stead-s sculpin without teeth
which would be but password to free
delivery.
From these let US diagnose the cases
of those elected and sworn to take all
lawful methods to suppress the traffic
and bring the violators OF the law to
iustice-the search and seizure officials.
How sdroitly they enter upon their
crusade by dispatching messenger
ahead to give warning Of their coming,
giving the proprietors Of the dives ample
time to provide for their reception. Aud
what Is the result? We read 1t In the
morning papers: ''The deputies last
night made a successful raid on Gill
hoOly's place Of business, rs Boghole
Stun and 10 Skeedaddle Avenue, finding
n Gill of whiskey and q bottle Of ale at
the former institution, and a sprinkler
containing two quarts of beer and jug
that smelled of whiskey at the latter"
leaving only q few barrels Of hard
stuff In the storage department undis-
covered (D-"The proprietors were abb
sent" The reader will perceive at once
that to seize the large quantities OF
LIQUOR in the above cases would be to
interfere with the regular business Of
the rum shops and cause the occupants
financial loss.
Again, the interests of the deputies
are so affiliated with the interests Of the
law breakers that no help from them can
be relied upon by the advocates OF re-
form. In some cases when rumsellers
are brought before justice with the
clearest evidence of their guilt their
crimes are condoned In q measure be-
cause of "the severity of the lao ,ohich Is
disprOportionate TO the crime" Therefore
Judgment Is passed upon the law while
the offender escapes with nominal fne
to engage again In bis nefaSious busi.
ness. Mr.. Editor, Is not the time COM
ing, and may It not be near at hand,
when these betrayers of their trust will
be relegated to the st. Helena Of their
aspirations to enjoy the fruit Of their
labor, while the c0.workers Of Satan,
engaged In the rum traffic, shall be led
to listen to the words Of the psalmist,
"I.et death seize upon them; let tn a
70 down Quick into hell"P 8. STOWE

In the fact that this medicine gives

THE PARK AGAIN.
MR.. JENNIE SEES NO INSULT IN HIS
SUGGESTION.
Editor Democrat:

Editor Democrat:
hope Mr.. Maxim has at least par
TALLY recovered from the condition into
which his Imagination threw him when
he read that "srticle'. do not believe
Mr.. Moore would see an insult in sug-
gestion simply intended to make the
park better serve the purpose he must
have had in mind when he gave it to the
village. or any one really thinks that
he would, then that person Is guilty OF
an insult TO the memory Of our dead
benefsctor.) Further l have too high
an opinion Of his good sense to doubt
that he would cheerfully give his con-
sent to q reduction In the size Of Moore
Park that it might better serve its
purpose.
How does Mr.. Maxim help matters by
chsrscterizing suggestion hooking to
an Improvement on our present condi-
tions as an insult to any one? He under
stands the situation, therefore he must
know that this despoiling would get rid
of the northeast part which has always
been blemish on the appearance OF the
park.
The tslked-of public library building
would be a great benefit besides being
an ornament to the village. Has Mr.
Maxim heard any one even whisper ele-
plant about that? w. h. JENNIE.
