Washington, Dec. 12.-The question
OF jurisdiction in the case of Caleb
Powers, charged with completely In

Kentucky in 1900, has been presented
to the supreme court Of the United
States in the form of a motion for

The Justice of the Pea ce
the alderman and the
Gambler.

In AN ARTICLE, signed by
Justice Pendergast, Alderman
Bowser received his weekly
roasting through the columns Of
the News in it's last issue.
1t appears that Alderman
Bowser. in looking over Judge
Pendergast's report to the city
council at the last session of that
body. had the timerity to ask if
certain item, APPARENTLY fine,
was not less than it should haye
been, whereupon the anger of
the Judge became kindled at
what he considered an intimatlon
that the full amount of fine i'm
posed had not been accounted for.
In his article the Judge lays
considerable stress on the fact
that Alderman Bowser's legal
education has been sadly neglec-
I'd, and that but for his dense
iagorance of the jurisdiction"
of q Justice of the Peace he
would have said nothing; and
further states that it was within
his discretion to impose fine of
from one to one hundred dollars,
and that having once determine d
toe amount it is final, and if
Alderman Bowser does not like
it he can put the report in the
waste-paper basket, or any other
place he thinks suitable.
The undeniable fact is that
Judge Pendergast reported to
the city council that the sum of
$40 each had been paid in his
court by two different gambling
houses.
Under these circumstances it
seems to us that Mr.. Bowser
was justified in asking the learned
Judge If such a fife was not
inadequate.
A Justice of the Peace has 20
jurisdiction, where the offense of
maintaining gambling instru-
ments has been committed, to
do anything except to give the
accused prelimi larry examina-
tion for the purpose of binding
him over to await the action of
the Grand Jury. The punish
ment for such an ofense exceeds
a fine of S10O, and it is therefore
beyond the Jurisdiction of a !
Justice; ard if Judge Pendergast
is laboring under the delusion
that he GIN grant dispensatioDs
