APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
ARRIVAL OF Law OFFICERS
FROM MINNESOTA.
Trying to Obtain a Review Of the
Order Issued Against the States
Attorney General.

Thomas D. O'Brian. chief counsel for
the state, and Assistant Attorney General
George T. Simpson of Minnesota reached
Washington today and began habeas cor
pus proceedings which, If successful, will
result in a review by the Supreme Court
of the United States of the injunction
and contempt order against Attorney
General Young of that state issued two
days ago by United States District Judge
Lochren. The brief for the attorney gen.
eral has been put in TIE hands of the
printer. and is expected to be ready for
submission to the court Friday. when
formal application for habeas corpus will
be made to the court by motion.
The grounds upon which the state ex-
poets to get a review by the Supreme
Court are stated to be: First. that the
federal court in Minnesota has no Juris
diction of the action because there was
no diverse citizenship between the par
ties. and that no federal question was
presented which would justify that court
in issuing the injunction: that the suit,
In SO far as it is against the attorney
general. is in effect a suit against the
state of Minnesota. and therefore pro-
h1bited by the eleventh amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. 1t is
also set up that in making the order the
district court attempts to deprive the at
torney general of the discretion vested in
him in the particular instance by the
legislature of the state. In closing, the
brief states that the temporary injunction
was therefore void; that the order punish
ing the attorney general for contempt
was equally void, and that as he is now
restrained of his liberty under an order
of the federal court of the United States
which is void. the Supreme Court of the
United States has ample authority and
justification for reviewing the action of
the federal court
