TWICE IN JEOPARDY
FOR SAME OFFENSE
Supreme Court Decides That KepneTs
Acquittal by Court of First In
stance Was Final.

Justice Day rendered a decision in the
Supreme Court OF the United States to-
day in the case OF Kepner VS.. United
States
Kepner was a practicing lawyer in
the Philippines, who was charged with
embeZzlement. He was acquitted by
the court of first instance. Appeal was
taken 10 the supreme court Of the
Philippines. Despite his claim that he
wac thus placed twice in jeopardy for
the same Offense. the case was decided
against Kepner and he thereupon ap-
Tealed TO the Supreme Court.
Justice Day declared that the Su-
preme Court held that the act of Con-
gross extending the bill OF rights TO
the Philippines repealed the military
order which had admitted this case to
appeal, after Kepner had been acquitted
once by the court Of first instance He
therefore. declared that the decision
of the supreme court OF the Philippines
was reversed and the prisoner dis
charged.
The similar case Of Mendoza against
the United States was declared the
same way Justices Holmes. White,
Brown, and McKenna dissented from
the majority opinion.

spondent claims to learn from a well in
formed source apart from the French
newspapers that General Kuropatkin
has begun moving south in a serious
fashion. and that a serious battle is to
be expected shortly, gives great promi-
nence to the statement and describes
the movement as a desperate one, to
which the Russian commander-in-chief
is impelled by political pressure. Accord
ing to this view Admiral Alexieff is the
moving spirit. he having induced the
Car TO force General Kuropatkin into a
dangerous line Of action.
Invites Another Sedan.
If this is so General Kuropatl1in. it is
pointed out. IS acting like Marshal Mac
Mahon. the French commander. when.
I'm 1870. he yielded to Empress Eugene
and made the fatal attempt 20 join
Marshal Bazaine. at Metz. which led
up to the disaster at Sedan.
That General KurOpatkin is either
conducting or directing some forward
movement seems pretty certain. The
Cheefoo correspondent of the Express
sayc that the main armies about Lao
Yang are moving. The Russians are re-
ported TO be marching south under ur-
gent orders from the Gar.
General Kuropatkin is striking out TO
a POSITION slightly southeast OF Lao
Yang. His activity is caused by the
steady circling movement of the Jap
arese, who threaten TO surround him
unless he breaks out and offers battle.
To Restore Prestige.
According to the correspondent. IL Is
not considered that the southwark
march has any connection with the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-05-31

Port Arthur position. but is an attempt
to restore the prestige of the Russian
aims. The japanese have several cav
airy brigades operating to the westward
which are in touch with the Russians
The Japanese are moving up infantry
and guns from Feng- wang-cheng. The
simultaneous advance of both armies
causes the belief that a battle is i'm
minent.
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Daily News" refers to the same
movement. which. like some other cor
respondents. he represents TO be the
outcome of a conference between Cen
eral Kuropatkin and Admiral Alexief.
Moves Against oku.
The News also makes General Oku's
army the Russian objective, adding that
General Kuropatkin's advance guard is
believed to be already rapidly nearing
Kinchau. This is obviously gathered
from the same source as the Paris story
to the effect that the Russian vanguard
is further south tf.An WafangtiCn, which
is sixty-five miles north of Port Arthur.
Finally there are General KurOpatbin' s
own announcement of n japanese ad-
vance from Kuantien and General Ku-
rolIi's report of activities at Aiyangpien-
men and elsewhere northward OF Feng-
wang-cheng to show that 1t is very i'm
probable that the Russian commander
