BATTLE OF THE TITANS
WORDS OF FORMER ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL HARMON RESENTED.
Court AdmOnishes Counsel That lie
Is Equal to Upholdins the
Dignity of Ills Position.

clusively TO State courts. In this case there
is no federal question involved of any ma
ture.
Anderson, that on questions of diverse
citizenship the Federal Court is given juris-
dction only when there is a further conoi-
tion of an amount not less than $500 in
volved The petition upon which this con-
tention is based contains no statement OF
financial consideration.
NO JURISDICTION.
Although the attorneys for the complains
ant had insisted that Moses Fowler Chase
is of full age and therefore could not be
regarded a ward or child, Judge An
denson took different view and made his
first ruling accordingly. Discussing the
points of the case Judge Anderson said
that while it was all very well to talk
about the power of the Federal Court aris-
ing under the Constitution and laws of
the United States, yet the Federal Court
except as specifically provided for IN
statutes regulating Jurisdiction The court,
he said, not able to regard this as a
within the jurisdiction of the federal
judiciary, according to the terms of the
statutes.
Regarding allegations in petitions and
the arguments of counsel as 10 abductions
and continued Imprisonment of Moses FoY-
ler Chase, he alluded to the tact thaH u
generally known that while young
IndS6 was III fdTlS ne WAS pTdcucdllt III
confinement and was rarely able to go out
without an attendant As 10 the manner or
bringing the young man TO this country
and keeping him in exclusive confinement
over since, Judge Anderson said sarcastic
ally that there had been a great deal OF
rhetoric in the petition and great deal OF
eloquence in the arguments OF the learned
counsel for the petitioners. There he
stopped, but the inference was sufficiently
plain to the meanest intellect, and the in
tellects in the court room al the time were
not of that character.
Upon the main points urged by the
Duhme counsel that the young man has
been violently restrained for one month
and is violently and forcibly restrained
and deprived OF his liberty against the pro-
that no citizen shall be restrained OF his
liberty without due process of law. the court
said that in its Judgment there was not
the slightest restraint of liberty involved
in the case, because the very condition OF
the young man made IL absolutely neces-
sary for some one 10 look after him.
He commented sarcastically upon the a.
parent Inconsistency in the attitude OF the
Duhme counsel in arguing at one time VITA
reference to the jurisdictional question that
the writ was not asked by George Hoadly-
jr., In the capacity OF guardian, and yet
claiming in another argument that the
that IL the writ should be issued and Moses
Fowler Chase brought into court and re-
leased George Hoadly, jr-. would be there
as guardian to take charge of him.
The court reviewed the arguments made
by counsel In full. touching upon all points
involved. His review of the case was thor
0ugh.
