The application of Louis Ferrari

Civil Procedure. Judge Sloss held
that Il was we'll established that the
creation of justices courts was not
matter OF municipal concern. but
part OF the judicial system of the
State. and the provision OF the charter

years and the last election for Jus

SUPREME COURT BEGINS
HEARING OF ARGUMENTS

Case OF Western Union Telegraph
Company Against Pennsylvania
Railroad in Federal Tribunal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day began the
hearing of arguments in the case OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company
against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. involving the right OF the
telegraph company to maintain its
lines along the railroads right OF way.
The case grows out OF the effort by the
railroad company to enforce the reno
val of the telegraph company's wires
and poles from its right of way. The
railroad company is under temporary
Injunction not to make the removal
until the court finally disposes Of the
case. The telegraph company claims
the right to maintain Its line where 1t
stands, on the ground that the Penn
sylvania Railroad is a postal road.

wYMAN BEFORE JUDGE COOK.
Hearing on Writ Postponed and Pris-
oner Released on Bail.


Charles Wyman, who was held to
on the charge Of fraudulent voting at
Superior Judge Cook yesterday morn
ing in response to the writ of habeas
corpus issued the evening before.
Counsel were not ready to go forward
with the argument on the petition for
release and the hearing was continued
to October 81 at 10 a. m.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 cash or
$4,000 bond. Public Works Commits
sioner Maestretti produced the re-
CURED cash and the accused saloon
keeper was given temporary freedom.
Judge Cook announced that he will
not consider any points that were
ruled upon by Judge Sloss. Attorney
Countryman will base his chief con-
tention on the question as to whether
the statute Is operative that provides
penalties for violations Of the primary
law. This was not given serious at
tention by Judge Sloss. Judge Cook
said that he would ask Judge Sloss to
sit with him at the hearing.
Joseph Rebstock, indicted for mis-
conduct as an election officer, has not
been arraigned as yet. His attorneys
will contest the indictment on the
ground that the three jurors who re-
fused TO go into court when II was
returned were compelled by order of
court to do so, the theory being that
the charge will not stick because 1t
was presented under duress.

There is strong probability that the
merchants will not be content with
efforts to remove the Election Commits

not seek to punish them further than
by custer, the Merchants Association
may prefer felony accusations.
