A JAPANESE SPY
CAUGHT At MANILA

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, November 4. - If
one could pry into the secret military
archives of any frst-class world power,
he would find deal more about forts
and Notifications than the unfortunate
japanese officer, caught at Manila the
other day, had in his possession. This
country has done a lot of spying
through its army and navy officers.
There are drawings and photographs of
foreign defenses in the possession of
the War and Navy Departments, the
history of whose acquisition none of
our department officials would be will
ing to divulge.
Accordingly all things considered the
luckless Jap is by no means an isolated
offender, although his presence in Ma
Mia and his particular mission at this
time is not likely to increase the good
feeling between the United States and
the Flowery Kingdom. His chief of
fense, as army and navy officers there
describe it, is in having beer caught.
OF course the Jap officer will be hur-
rIed out OF Manila ana back nome, II
the news dispatch is confirmed. This
country Will make representations to
Japan concerning him, that country
will promptly disavow he was acting
under orders and that will probably be
the end Of it.
Some years ago the French govern

ington that an American army officer
had been apprehended photographing

ordered home Immediately and the
American minister at Paris disclaimed
this government s responsibility, al

tions from the War Department. capt.

some peculiar and wonderful ana

his all-round ability in medical and
surgical science.
During the progress of good feeling

CITIZENSHIP
OF A THOUSAND
IS CHALLENGED
Judge Gear Petitions for Rehearing
of Morita Murder Case--lf Denied
Will Appeal to Washington.

Judge Gear petitioned the Supreme
case of Taizo Morita, convicted Of
murder. His main points are illegality
of the jury from the want of natural
ization jurisdiction of circuit courts,
and on the ground of benefit of the
doubt on the law, the doubt in ques-
ton having been expressed, as al
legged. in the Chief Justices concurring
decision on the naturalization ques
lion
In the petition the plea in abatement
is quoted which set forth that eight
of the sixteen grand jurors who in
dfcted Morita were naturalized by the
Circuit Court Of the Fourth Circuit
AS the Supreme Court decided, on a
reserved question, that such natural
izations were legal, the petition takes
mn that decision at great length.
The attorney for the prisoner states
that the decision quoted by justice
Wilder, who wrote the controlling opn-
ion on the question, was rendered py
the Circuit Court of the Pennsylvania
district in the year 1892, or ia years
ago. and has been overruled in score
of cases since 1t was held in that de-
<.ision that the States enjoyed con-
current authority to naturalize and
that they could adopt citizens upon
easier terms than those which Congress
might deem it expedient to impose Ot
the score of cases Judge Gear quotes
against that decision. ten were in the
United States and ten in the state
courts.
1t is submitted that "the conclusion
reached by Mr.. Justice Wilder-'that
any court of record in this Territory
having common law jurisdiction and

is directly in the teeth of the Act or
Congress and can only be arrived at

clearly right in saying, in his dis
senting opinion. that such a construc-
ton changes the clearly expressed
language Of an Act of Congress, doing
this upon the theory that the Act
means something different from what
it says. Every departure from the
clear language of a statute is in effect
an assumption of legislative powers by
the court" still quoting Justice Hart
well.
Chief Justice Frear IS quoted in his
concurring opinion as adopting a diff
ferent theory from that of Justice Will
der, namely, that the term district
court Of a Territory in the statute is
merely descriptive and therefore ap-
plies to the circuit courts of this Terri
tory. If. then. the term District
Court is a proper name the Chief JUS
tice holds the law does not apply to
or circuit courts. Judge Gear con-
tends that this theory. if pushed to its
logical conclusion, would give the cir
cult courts of this Territory also juris-
diction of all admiralty and bank
ruptcy matters
"A significant fact the petition
says, 'fn regard to the invalidity of
the acts of the circuit courts prior to
the passage of the late Naturalization
Act is that an effort was made. upon
recommendation of the Governor and
the Chief Justice of this Territory, to
have Congress pass an Act to validate
the naturaliza tions heretofore attempt
ed by the circuit courts. Of course
such an Act would be ex post facto as
to the petitioner herein, but it was not
passed.
1t is argued, against the view of the
Chief Justice. that the circuit courts
were called such in the Organic Act be-
cause they had been so called before
annexation and that they should be
considered as coming within the term
district courts Of territories that
the statute being construed is the Act
of Congress comforting jurisdiction to
and not the Organic Act of
this Territory. The terms of the Or
ganic Act as to jurisdiction of circuit
courts of this Territory are plain"
the attorney proceeds. I'm that latter
Act there is nothing which can be
claimed to relate to the jurisdiction of

Clinton, Feb. 7.--Altho it has not

Above Red Wing one day this week
one fisherman hauled $1,000 pounds Of
the fish from the river, nearly twelve
tons, the fish filling a large sleigh
fourteen times. Some of the fish
weighed as much as thirty pounds. A
representative of an eastern company
offered the fisherman 3A cents a
pound for his catch, and the offer was
accepted, the fisherman, who was Da-
vid Gatenbein Of Red Wing, realizing
$500 from his days labors. The net in

was 700 feet in length. 1t cost the
buyer $500 additional to box up the

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 1.-THE case OF
Mrs. Zctta Eckles, charged with the
murder of Constable Peter b. Martin
was taken up in the district court yes
terday before Judge Preston. when
twelve men were called into the
Jury box to determine their fitness and
competency to sit in Judgment in the
case. THE entire forenoon was occu-
pied in examining and cross-examin-
ing the twelve men first called to the
box, two only being excused for cause
or for incompetency to sit as unbiased
jurors.
In spite Of the case being ahead OF
time the court room, as usual In such
cases, has been crowded by spectators
who patiently sat through the long
hours of the jury's examination with
apparent undated interest.
The defendant. Mrs. Eckles, at one
time Mrs. Zetta Milton. was years ago,
before the enactment of the mulct law,
we'll known as complainant in numer-
Gus prosecutions Of saloonkeepers
against whom injunctions were sought.
She is a woman considerably above the
usual stature, large and muscular,
with q. not unpleasant countenance.
She sat in the court room beside her
attorneys, CARRIED in very plain attire;
her face was perfectly calm and gave
no indication whatever OF any emo
ton she may have been laboring UNI
der. Most of the time while her coun-
sci, Mr.. Crosby, was cross-examinine
the jurors, she sat with her eyes
CLOSED. her body perfectly erect and
her cc'untenance calm and at rest, but
later on towards noon she began to
show signs of some nervousness which
was indicated by little uneasiness OF
her hands and slight twitching Of the
muscles. Outside Of these little indi-
cations. however, the defendant exhi-
bited no sign to indicate her feelings.
How long and tedious the trial may be
cannot be foretold. What the defense
will be is unknown as yet by the prose-
cutor and what it is or will be the trial
alone will disclose.
