Montgomery, June 5.-(speciaL)-The decision of the supreme court in refus- ing the application of the negro Jackson W. Giles for a mandamus to compel the Montgomery county registrars to regis ter him and all other negro applicants showing themselves qualified, is very short The opinion is by Chief Justice Mcclellan and is as follows:
 ''This application is suit generis. It is a petition filed originally in this court for a writ of mandamus to compel the board of registrars of Montgomery county to register the petitioner as an elector. The supreme court has no jurisdiction of the proceedings. It is not appellate jurisdic- ton that is invoked and the matter is not within the very limited original purisdic- tion of this court to issue writs of in- formation, habeas corpus, quo warranto and such other remedial original writs as may be necessary to give 1t general superintendence and control of inferior jurisdictions' Constitution 1901, section 40. A board of registrars is not one of the jurisdictions which this court may control by original writs and if 1t were

CRAWFORD EXPLAINS REPORT.
Says His Brother Could Not Be Con-
 nected With Humberts.

Louisville, Ky, June 5.-Matthew H. Crawford, president of the Cannon and Byers Millinery Company of Louisville said today concerning the mention of his family name in connection with the Hum bert affair in Paris:
 "It is plain that the Crawfords referred to in the Humbert incident are my brothers, but there is, of course, no foun- dation for the story. John, Henry and Matthew Crawford, were the sons of John A. Crawford, who lived in Coving- ton for many years. John Crawford is dead while Henry lives in Kansas City. There was no Robert Crawford. John and I conducted tobacco business in Covington until 1880. when John went abroad on account of i'll health My brother, John Crawford, lived abroad sev- eral years and that is the only foundation for our alleged connection that I can see."

LIKE RICHARD cRoKER.
A Brooklyn Conductor Is Proud of Re.
 sembIance He Bears to Boss.

From the New York Sun.
 If Richard Croker wasn't positively known to be enjoying himself in his ,coun- try home at Vantage. he might be sus- pected of being Conductor 2o5o of the Put nam avenue street car line in Brooklyn. Conductor 2050 Is a real double of Mir. Croker. He bears as close a resemblance to the Squire of Vantage as the famous Devery double did to the best chief of police New York ever had" and closer resemblance than that could not be pos- sible.
 Conductor 2050 is built like MT. Croker and he has the blackish gray beard, the protruding under jaw, the penetrating eyes and the strong forehead of the Tam many boss. He knows that he looks like Richard Croker. Since he began collect ing fares for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company this fact has been mentioned to him some 450,0 ,000 times. But 1t is always music to him. He enjoys hearing 1t and seems to be immensely proud of the re- semblance.
 If, in these days of great bravery among Tammany district leaders, the boss being some thousands of miles away, Conductor 2050 could walk into Tanmany Hall and stick out his jaw Croker ffshion. some day, 1t is a moral certainty that some folks would run for cover. Eere Is great chance for a practical joker, although 1t involves some risk for those with weak hearts.
 Conductor 2050 Is not stuck up over his resemblance to MT. Croker. much as he enjoys it. He discusses it freely with all who mention 1t to him, however. Meantime he Is content with reflected greatness and goes on collecting fares as usual.

ANCIENT CASTLE RESTORED.
Picturesque and Unique Spectacle al
 the Ancient Marienburg.

Marienburg, West Prussia, June 5.-A unique and picturesque spectacle was witnessed here today when, in the pres ence of Emperor William and the Elm press, many diplomats, members of royal ty and German notabilities, the work of restoring the ancient castle of Marienburg was officially completed. The castle, in the middle ages, was the seat of the grandmasters of the Teutonic order. The ceremonies were rendered brilliant by the revival of ancient costumes of the order of the Knights of St. John.
 Speaking at a banquet tonight, Emperor William said ancient Marienburg was the starting point of the civilization of the countries east of the Vistula and con- tinued: "Marienburg must always re- main the symbol of Germanys mission and once more it has come to this. Pol ish arrogance is resolved to encroach upon Germany and I am compelled to summon my people to preserve its na- tional possessions here in Marienburg I express my expectation that all the broth CTS of the order of St. John will always be at my service when I call upon them to guard German manners and customs"

SUPREME COURT REFUSES
 THE GILES APPLICATION

yet 1t can never be necessary for this court to control such boards by any orig inal writ, since whatever writs may un- der any circumstances be proper or neces- sary to be issued in superintendence and control of those boards may be and can only be issued by nisi prius courts, the Circuit Court or other courts of like jur- isdiction. If the petitioner is entitled td the writ he here prays, question we do not consider, his petition should be ad- dressed to and be presented in the Cir cult Court of Montgomery county Of the Montgomery City Court. Code, sections 2S25-2S33 Rule nisi denied"
 There is no secret about the fact that this Is precisely the decision expected and desired by the colored lawyer, Will ford H. Smith, who brought the proceed ings. His purpose was to get case made that could be gotten to the Supreme Court of the United States without the delays inevitable from proceedings in the lower courts. Good lawyers heard ex- press incredulity about the Supreme Court at Washington entertaining writ of error in the present shape of the case, but there Is equally no doubt that Smith came here thoroughly advised from Washington as to the method to be pur- sued.
