the Western Federation sof Miners are
preparing an application to the state
supreme court for a rehearing in the
case Of Charles II Meyer. president of
the Western Federation of Miners. who
is held as a military prisoner at Tel
luTide, by order of Governor Peabody
Explaining the supreme courts recent
decision refusing to order Meyers re-
lease on a writ, Attorney General Mil
Ter has said that the court merely de-
cided that the governor has supreme
right to say when a county is in a state
of insurrection, that his decision is not
subject to inquiry by any coordinate
branch of the government and that the
governor, acting within his authority,
may arrest a participant and detatn
him during the instruction The court
has not decided. Mr. Miller declares,
that the courts are without jurisdiction
to compel the military to answer con-
corning arrests and detentions and the
supreme court mas reserved the right to
pass upon this question fully If neces-
sity arises. This reserved power, the
attorney general says, means the SUI
premacy of the civil authority over the
military. The power to declare mar
tiaI law and suspend the writ of habeas
corpus, he says, has not been granted.
