 The Senate.

PALACE LIVERY co. IS
 MAKING A GREAT HIT
Its Opening Is Subject of Great Deal of Comment-An Elegant
 Establishment.

The splendid opening of the new livery of the Palace Livery company on Sec ond avenue Wednesday night was the subject of much comment on the streets yesterday.
 The new stables are probably the finest and best equipped in the south and the management is being highly complimented on the completion of so up to date an in- stitution. The stables adjoin the Jeffer- son theatre, and are in every way credit to Second avenue. The building is three stories high. The first floor con- tains a handsome ladies reception room, the offices, a thirty-foot driveway paved with cement and number of commodious box stalls.
 The second floor has more than two hundred stalls for the accommodation of horses, while the third floor will be used exclusively for buggies. There is a run from the first to the second floors up which the horses can go. All three floors are connected by hydraulic eleva- tor large enough to accommodate a car riage and team.
 The sanitary arrangement of the livery is one of it's most commendable features. Each stall. and in fact all parts of the building, are equipped with individual sanitary connections which is a novel thing In this part of the country. A visi- tor to this handsome new establish ment cannot but be impressed by the contrast between this new place and the livery stables of several years ago. It Is another evidence of Birmingham's growth and an evidence that the energetic citi- zens of the city mean to keep pace with the best of everything for the conven- fence of the public. No city in the south has so many fine livery establishments as Birmingham.

MILITARY LAW IS
 NOT 50 SUPREME
Judge Orders Prisoners Turned
 Over to Civil Courts
THIS IS NOT A MONARCHY
Now Famous Case at Cripple Creek Brings Out Learned Decision on Relative Power of Civil Au.
 thority and Military.

Cripple Creek, Colo, September A.-In the district court here today Judge Seeds overruled the motion to cancel writs of habeas corpus in the cases of four mili- tary prisoners, and ordered the prisoners turned over to the civil authorities. Judge Seeds said that he could not subscribe to the doctrine advanced by the respondent that the military was supreme and not amenable to the court, because to do so, would mean to overthrow free govern ment and substitute monarchy. |, The court said that the question in- voived was: Does the executive order calling troops constitute a justification of the arrest?
 He held that civil law had been over thrown in Teller county and no evidence had been presented that lawbreakers by the civil authorities.
 Rebuked Presence of Troops. Judge Seeds also strongly rebuked the presence of the troops in the court room. Counsel for the prisoners were not present when the decision was rendered. General Chase declined to obey the order Of the court, but it was understood that Governor Peabody will instruct him to return the prisoners over to the civil au- thorities.
 The four prisoners were brought into court this afternoon guarded by thirty five soldiers, who removed them to Camp Goldfeld after the judges decision was given.
 United States Senator Thomas M. Pat terson and former Governor Charles s. Thomas were called in consultation early today by the county commissioners and the sheriff of Teller county regarding the acts of the military in this district, and advised that the civil authorities have the right to serve no process except writ of habeas corpus upon the officers of the National guard while the latter are on duty in the field. The attorneys also ad- vised against summoning a posse comi- tatus to enforce any order in court which the military defy.
 Must Obey Orders.
 MT Thomas, speaking before the case had been passed upon, said: "rhe military officers are just as amen- able to a writ of habeas corpus as a civil officer is, and they must obey 1t or be in contempt. If the court holds that the prisoner must be released or turned over to the sheriff and If the order is dis obeyed it is his duty to issue an attach ment for the party in contempt Such an order is part of the habeas corpus and lcannot be lawfully defied, since the mar I tial law Is not in effect.
 However 1t would be useless in the present case for the sheriff to attempt to enforce such an order If resisted. It would not only be intellectual. but would result In bloodshed which would be more unfortunate than the mere failure to en- force an order"
 Decision Will Be Respected.
 Denver, September Ex-Governor Pea body tonight said that the decision of Judge Seeds in the habeas corpus case at Cripple Creek would be respected. He said that the formal order in the case would be issued from headquarters in the
