FARRELLY LOSES.


SthbbCd UUNAhn AbunA1a - kN1BuONtoth NJ
straining ths New York lao.
The application OF Stephen Farrelly,
one of the candidates Of the international
oommittee's ttoket. As q polioyhoder in
the New York Life for An Injunction restrain
ing the present officers Of the company
from conducting a campaign In favor OF
the. administration ticket, was denied
yesterday by Jussdce Bowling In the SUI
;prsme Court.
Justice Downing said that he could find
in all Mr.. FarreIly's afldsvits no proof OF
any act, attempted or threatened, on the
part of the corporation or It's officers such
as would entjtle Farrely to ~tnjunotive
relief.
Farrelly was represented in the appli-
cation by Samuel Untsrmyer. while William
Nelson Cromwell appeared for the CON-
pany. They had o hot argument when
the motion was submitted to Justice Dow
ling. and voluminous papers were turned
over 30 the Court by both sides.
The Farrely papcra charged that tpe
corporations money was being wrongfuuy
diverted 30 pay for the campaign expenses
Of the administrators ticket. that the
marked baDotss were being sent out at
the expense OF ths company and its policy
holders, that the time Of the employees
OF the company was being used to further
the campaign q The administration ticket
and that in 9th ways the officers OF the
company were$A&Fng their influence and
power TO defeaS the International and
alect the administration ticket.
All the allegations OF Fsrrelly were denied
fatly by tho afjdavits of the officers of the
company. and in his decision Justice
Bowling remarks that Farrelly's state
ments are Tor the larger part based ON
Information and belief. They consist, he
SAYS, mostly az conclusions, surmises and
opinions, and there is no direct charge
OF any improper conduct on personal knowl-
edge. Nor IL there any evidence, Justice
Bowling says, that the corporations
money has been improperly expended.

ROME, Dec. 3.-Cardinal Kopp, Bishop Of
Breslau, will start for Berlin tomorrow
after comforting with the Vatican on the
Polish question.
He will take a message TO the Kaiser to
the effect that although the Vatican sym
pathizes with the Poles il is unable TO cham
pion them in their present fight for the use
Of their language in the schools against
the German Government, inasmuch as the
latter does not oppose the Roman Catholic
religion or religious teaching. 1t must
therefore regard the Polish conflict as a
political and national and not religious
one.
The Pope sends his warmest greetings TO
the Kaiser and expresses tho hope that the
relations between Germany and the Holy
See will be strengthened.

CONVICTED THREE TIMES

Washington, January 1.-The supreme
court of the United states today affirmed
the decision of the Kentucky court of APP
peals in the case of James h. Howard
VS.. the state of Kentucky. Howard was
tried three times in the circuit court Of
Franklin county. Ky. on the charge of
numbering Gov. William Goehel of Ken
lucky, on January &c. 1900 and convicted
each time. He Is now under sentence
of life Imprisonment and he brought the
case to this court to secure a review OF
the ruling of the Kentucky court of ap-
peals, affirming a decision of the circuit
court against allowing him another trial
His principal allegation was that the
proceeding of the trial court in the matter
of selecting and disoharging jurymen
was irregular
Justice McKenna delivered the opinion
affirming the conviction of Howard for
killing William Goebel. He reviewed the
complaint of Towards attorneys that
the discharge of J. G. Alexander as a
juror was in violation of the Fourteenth
amendment.
Justice McKenna said;
I'VE cannot assume reversal in the de-
cision of the court of appeals. We ac-
oept it as we are bound to do, as a
correct exposition of the law of the
state-common, statutory and oonstitu-
tional. Our inquiry can only be. did the
state law as applied afford plaintiff IN
error due process as those words are
used in the Fourteenth amendment? We
think 1t did. 1t is not necessary to enter
into a lengthy discussion of what con-
stitutes due process of law. That has
been done in a number of cases, and
there is nothing in the present case
which calls for a REPETITION and an ex-
tension of the discussion. 1t may be ad-
mltted that the words due process Of
law as used In the Fourteenth amend
ment protect fundamental rights. What
these are cannot ever be of much dis
pute. In giving them protection, how
ever, 1t was not designed as was observ-
ed by the chief justice in re converse
supra, to interfere with the power OF
the state to protect the lives, liberty and
propc<ty of its citizens; nor with the ex-
ercise of that power in the adjudication
ing the process provided by the law
of the state. These words are opposite in
the present case OF what does plaintiff in
error complain? The dischar~e of a juror
before he was sworn and the absence Of
the plaintiff in error from the examina-
ton of the juror by the presiding judge.
But plaintiff in error consented through
his counsel to the examination and
there is not an intimatlon that the juror
selected in Alexander's place was not as
competent as he. Nor can he say that
the discharge of Alexander took from the
other jurors who had been chosen, their
competency to try the case, or give to
plaintiff In error the right TO a new
panel"

DECISION INVOLVES
PORTO RICAN MONEY
SUPREME COURT RULES THAT A
CREDITOR CAN NOT TAKE AID.
VANTAGE OF CHANGE IN STAND.
ARD IN THE ISLAND.

Washington, aJnuary AIN an opinion
in the case of serrales VS., Esbey, coming
from the supreme court of Porto Rico
the supreme court of the United States
CONSTITUTES the effect of the provision of
the act of Congress Of 1900 relative to
the exchange of money IN the provinces
In 1894. A citizen of Porto Rico named
Cartagena, sold to Serrales a share in a
sugar plantation on that island for 1900
pesos TO be paid In installments and in
money current in commerce. or whatever
coinage of money might be circulating
in this province at the rate of 100 cents
of the current money for each peso"
This contract was made while Porto Rico
was Spanish territory and after the trans
fer of sovereignty to the United States.
Serrales refused to make the payments
remaining due on the basis of dollar in
American coin for peso in Porto Riean
coin. He took the position that as the
Spanish coin was worth only 60 cents,
he should be required to pay only the
equivalent of the provincial money and
not 100 cents for each peso The Porto
Rioan court held that the terms of the
contract required the payment of 100 cents
In American money for each peso called
for in the Serrales notes. That decision
was reversed.
Justice Peckham. who announced the
Judgment of the court, called attention
to the fact that the word cents" is
used. The centavo he said is a copper coin
worth about CLIO of a cent. The peso
in circulation at the time the contract
was made, he said, was not worth to
exceed 80 cents. The court added.
'There was no contract to pay manner
lean money at the rate coptended for.
I'm providing for the withdrawal of
all coins in circulation in Porto Rico Con-
gress provided for fixing the equivalent
of these coins and American coins for
the payment of all existing debts. This
was simply fixing the value of those
coins relatively to their value in American
coin and with reference to the payment
of debts then existing. All money then
unpaid on this mortgage obligation was
an existing debt Within the act and hence
might be paid In American money rate
of exchange therein specified. The with
drawal of the coins of Porto Rico in
circulation at the time Of the passage
of the act of Congress, and provided
for therein did not take legal effect
50 far as concerned debts then existing,
except upon the condition that those
debts might be solved in the coin of the
United States at the rate of exchange
in the act. This did not impair or change
the obligations of any contract and was
l&,,4 a ~.
of the coins which were to be withdrawn
and TO state the rate of exchange at
which existing debts might be paid in
American money and as there was no
contract to pay at any other rate tho
act was valid and applied to this case"
