THE WRIT
UNLAWFUL.
Judge Gear Exceeds His
Powers In habeas
Corpus.

Judge Gear is found by unanimous
by Chief Justice Frear, to have COM
mitted error in granting writ of
habeas corpus for the release of Gotv,
sentenced by another Circuit Judge to
pay a fine of $3.50 and costs on his plea
of guilty to the charge of selling liquor
without a license. This decision is on
a writ of error sued out by Arthur NJ
Brown, High Sheriff. E. C. Peters
Deputy Attorney General, appeared for
plaintiff in error, and Cathcart & Mil
verton for defendant in error. The
syllabus of opinion reads as follows:
Circuit Courts have not jurisdiction
to issue writs of habeas corpus III
cases in which such writs are not
demandable of right. Such jurisdic-
ton is confined by the statutes to the
Circuit Judges. The jurisdiction to
issue such writs is not inherent in the
Circuit Courts in the sense that the
Legislature cannot vest it in other
courts or in the judges. to the exclu-
sion of the Circuit Courts as such, nor
does the Organic Act deprive the Leg
islature of such power"
Judge Gear released Goto from pris-
on, to which he was committed in de-
fault of paying his fine, on habeas cor
pus for the reason that his punish
nent was infamous and therefore un-
lawful without his having been indict-
ed by grand jury. On the writ Of
error it was contended I'D that the
Circuit Court was without jurisdiction
to issue writs of habeas corpus and
(2) that the offense was not infamous
and so could be tried on information
and complaint" The appellate court
says: mo opinion need be expressed
upon the second of these contentious,
as we are of the opinion that the first
must be sustained
Reviewing the laws on the subject
the court says: so far as the statutes
go, therefore, a Circuit Court cannot
issue a writ of habeas corpus in a case
in which it is not denandable or right
and probably not in any case
A case of the writ being mot de-
mandable of right as explained to an
Advertiser reporter, is where the writ
is employed instead of the right of APP
peal by a convicted person to escape
punishment. If habeas corpus were
available for such a purpose and with
in the power of the lower courts to
grant, the result would be that GRIM
inal cases would take that route as
the shortest and one judge would de-
eide appeals from another judge in
disregard of the appellate cout of the

PUBLIC VS..
MOTORMAN
Rights of the Public
Street JudicialIy
Set Forth.

In overruling the exceptions OF
plaintiff in the damage suit or Dong
Chong VS.. Honolulu Rapid Transit Sc
Land Co. to judgment of nonsuit by
the First Circuit Court, the Supreme
Court says:
Notwithstanding this conclusion We
may add that we deem the case close
one and that it is with considerable
reluctance that we sustain the action
of the trial court in taking it from the
jury and we would even emphasize the
need of attentiveness on the part of
motormen of electric cars to exercise
due care under all circumstances to
avoid injury to the persons or property
of others
caused to plaintiffs mule, wagon and
harness by collision with one of de-
PENDANTS electric street cars. The dis
trict magistrate who first tried the
case. ordered a nonsuit, and at the
trial before a jury also, at the close of
the plaintiffs evidence, ordered non
suit on the ground that the plaintiff
had failed to show negligence on the
part of the defendant.
Chief Justice Frear is the author or
the opinion. which is signed unani-
mously. J. A. Magoon and j. Light
foot appeared for the plaintiff and
Castle & Wilmington for the defend
ant.

duct of the plaintiff, in handling his
team the time of the accident, was
not as a matter of law such conrripl-
tory negligence as would preclude a
recovery. The case is decided against
the plaintiff on the narrowing down of
the case to one where the burden OF
proof was on him to show that the car
was running at an unusual and i'm
proper rate of speed. His proof on this
point was not conclusive. In the BODY
of the decision, already quoted from,
the court makes the following state
ment of relative rights OF the street
railway company and the public:
1.-THE defendant in running it's cleo
trio cars has no such superior rights
as will permit it to run it's cars wiIru.-
~ over persons or into teams upon or
near it's tracks even though they are
there through negligence. On the
other hand, rapid transit has become
a public necessity, and electric cars
cannot turn out. These conditions are
generally known and persons using the
streets must act accordingly. They
cannot rightfully obstruct the cars nor
can they place themselves or their
property in positions on or near the
tracks of the cars except at their own
risk, subject to the exercise of due
care on the part of those running the
cars. If they are guilty of negligence
which proximately contributes to the
injury. they. cannot recover

Willard F. Mallalieu, as recommended

The other bishops who are also to be
given we'll earned rest from their

church, but Bishop Mallalieu, New
England man himself, has especially
endeared himself to the hearts of Meth

He has flied the high and honorable
office of bishop for 20 years, but this
has been but the elimination of long

HALF A MILLION AT STAKE.
The Will of Mrs. Abby X. Dodge of Jackson
vile to be Contested.

According to stories published in
many newspapers it appears doubtful
if Rev. Angus NJ. Mcdonald of Bar
Harbor, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Allen \.
Mcdonald of Bath, will be able to take
possession of the fortune, estimated at
fully half million, left by the late
Mrs. Abbie R. Dodge of Jacksonville,
Fla, without first undergoing the or
deal of a contest of law.
The relatives of Mrs. Dodge have
filed petition with the probate Judge
asking that the will be set aside as null
and void: The petitioners are Eliza
Lowell of Bucksport, a sister of the de-
ceased: kenney c. Lowell of Boston. q
brother; Mary r. Lowell of Bucksport,
a sister; Abram Lowell of Abram,
Wis, a brother; Charles II. Sweetser of
Santa Fuca, Wis, nephew.
They allege that at the time the will
was made the testratrix was mentally
incapable of executing such docu-
ment, and that Mcdonald used i'm
proper and undue influence over the
mind of Mrs. Dodge. 1t is alleged that
Mrs. Dodge was always on friendly and
affectionate terms with her relatives.
frequently visiting them, and 60 days
prior to her death had stated to divers
persons that she had in her will made
ample provisions for her relatives and
had also left part of her estate to her
partner in the hotel business, Frank T..
Culiens of Florida. In the will filed
for probate Cullens was only left pair
of diamond earrings and diamond
ring.
On top Of this big surprise is the an
nouncemens that Andrew j. Sweatser
of Lynn, Mass will also take steps to
have the will Broken on Che grounds
that the foundation of Mrs. Dodge's
property, something over $35, 0ce, was
taken from him without HIS consent at
the time when he was her first husband,
when she deserted him more than a
quarter OF century ago.
In Jacksonville, Fla, Mrs. Dodge
owned one of the largest hotels, the
Windsor. She was known as the great
est hotel woman in the country. Start
ing with the moderate capital, which
her first husband says was his, she saw
it grow a fortune of more than $780,.
900. Then she died, and left practical
ly the entire estate to the young clergy
man whom she had befriended during
his first passionate at the Union Congre-
gational church in Jacksonville.

A o7th Wedding Anniversary.

South PENoBsCoT, Me-, May Is.
Alpheus Herrick and his wife, Cordelia
L. Grindle Herrick, yesterday cele-
brated the 9th anniversary of their
marriage. Both are hale and hearty,
and expect to celebrate their 10th an
niverSary Senator Hale has promised
to have the President here on that oc-
casion.
Alpheus Herrick was born in 1912,
and his wife was born six years later, on
the 14th of May-which is also the day
Oh which they were married.
Mr., Herrick is still rugged and
healthy. He was a famous wrestler in
his day. Neither he nor his wife wear
glasses. as the sight of both is unim-
paired. Mr.. Herrick has used tobacco
all his life. He chews much more than
he smokes, but he never smokes after
the lights are lit in the evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herrick had nine chill
dren, six of whom are living. The old
est is 65 years of age.
Alpheus Herrick was ship carpenter
in his young days, when he wasn't
teaching school, In 1888 he built a
vessel for himself and called it the
Lucy and Nancy" 1t was schooner
OF 100 tons, and was later wrecked off
Cape Cod. He went to much expense
after she had been wrecked to recover
a piece of the vessel for souvenir. In
1868 he built another vessel and named
it after his wife, &c. L. Herrick." This
vessel is still in commission, but her
name has been changed. MI. Herrick
says vessels are not built nowadays as
strong as they were in his day.
MI. and Mrs. Herrick have won the
esteem of summer visitors, and are
highly regarded by everyone.

Value of Our Fisheries,

According to the National Geograph-
ic Magazine, the total catch of food
fishes in the United States and Alaska,
as shown by the last canvass, was L.
1873, 314, 1924 pounds, valued at S45, 531, 165.
The number of men employed was 214,-
O56 and the capital invested was S72,-
PSI, 646. The salmon pack of Puget
sound alone in 1901 exceeded 81, 500, 600,
an amount more than four times as
great as the entire silver output of the
whole region drained by the Columbia
river. The salmon output of Alaska
for 1908 is valued at 100000, which
exceeds by more than $4,000, 900 the
amount which Alaska cost us; and if
we add to the salmon the value of the
cod, halibut and other fisheries of Alas
ka, the total greatly exceeds all the
other resources of Alaska combined.
