SENTENCE UPHELD
SWAYZE SAYS INDETER-
INMATE TERM is VALID.
So Decides in Case of Camden Man Sent
to formatory-Constitutionality
of Law Questioned.

TRENTON, Dec. 1S~.-Justice Swayze late
yesterday filed in the Supreme Court
an opinion in the habeas corpus proceed
ings brough. on behalf Of John NARROW,
who was convicted in Camden County and
sentenced to the Railway Reformatory.
The proceedings were brought for the pur-
pose of testing the constitutlonality Of the
act providing for sentencing prisoners TO
that institution, for an indeterminate term.
At the hearing on the writ 1t was insisted
that the act conferred upon an admins
trative officer judicial powers, and was
therefore unconstitutional. III his opinion
Justice SwaSze holds hat the act is con-
stitutional. The syllabus of the opinion
follows:
t1. The statute relating to the State Re
formatory authorizes the imprisonment in
that institution Of male prisoners between
the ages Of 16 and 80 years. Where a COM
mitment fails to show the age of the
prisoner. this court, on a writ OF habeas
corpus, will presume that the trial court
found the necessary fact as to the pris-
oner's age 10 warrant his commitment to
tile reformatory.
'2. Even where one under the age OF 10
wears has been committed to the reforma-
tory. the error can be redressed only by
proper proceedings in error and NOT oy
writ OF habeas corpus.
"S. The act for the management or Inc
reformatory Up. L. 1901, 231) Ii not uncon-
st1tutional because 1t provides for no SEN
tence except for the maximum term nor
because it authorizes the commissioners to
discharge prisoners committed thereto be-
fore the expiration of the maximum term.
I'm this case the sentence IN its face Is
in compliance with the statute and the
first reason alleged for holding it invalid
depends upon a fact e~xtraneous to the
~record-the age of the prisoner.
In the case of a commitment to the
| Boys Home, the age of the prisoner must
necessarily be set forth as he can only
be held until he attains his majority, and
so the statute prescribes. There is nc
| such requirement in the act relating to
the r~efornatory. and although it would
be very proper for the court to set forth
its finding in this respect, we find moth
ing to make it essential. Had such a find
ing appeared upon the record it could not
be. questioned on the application for a
habeas corpus"

OLD PRINTER DEAD
SOLOMON PANC0AST DIES
AFTER WEEKS ILLNESS.
Began Work in Advertiser Office in 1855
and Remained Faithful-1den-
titled with Odd Fellows.

Solomon Pancoast, dean OF the
EVENING STAR composing room,
and probably, at the time of his death.
the Oldest printer in actual service IN
the State, died this morning at 8
O'Clock after an illness of one week
with pneumonia. The funeral ar
rangements will be announced later.
but the last obsequies will probably
take place from his home, 81 Cedar
street, where death occurred.
Mr.. Pancoast was so years old, and
had followed the type profession since
his early teens. He began his appren-
ticeship on the Mercury, n COM
pleted 1t on. the Daily Advertiser. He
entered the composing room of the lat
ter office in 1866, and was q steady
worker therein until Tuesday of last
week. when illness compelled him to
knock off for the asst time.
He was in practically one position for
nearly forty-three years, never being
away from the job except during va
cations or when forced away by ILL
ness. Among the old-timers he was
recognized as one of the best printers
in the city.
Few men have. through regular ap-
~plication, seen more changes come in
their trade or profession than were
witnessed by Mr.. Pancoast. When he
Joined the Advertiser staff the paper
was a four-page affair, carrying
| only a few columns of reading matter,
all hand-set, and printed on an old
time fatbed press. He saw it develop
into two great modern newspapers, ma
chine-set, and printed at the rate of
hundreds a minute.
When he became a printer the trade
was far from occupying first place
among all the trades, as it does now.
Unions then existed-in fact he was a
member of Typographical Union No.
103, still in existence, from h begin
ming of his journeyman career-but 1t
had not then elevated the trade to
something approaching a profession.
Wages at that time were low, prob
ably little more than a third of what
they now are, and most printers were
possessed of the wanderlust TO the ex-
tent of making nearly all of them trav-
cling workmen.
He witnessed the Introduction Of the
linotype and the revolutions II
wrought, but to the end he remained
an old-timer, preferring the stick and
case. at which he was very adept. He
retained the good qualities of the old
time printer. p~unctuality, faithfulness
and pride in his work, but the bad
ones, wandering, drinking, reckless.
ness, never had IN effect upon him.
Mr.. Pancoast came with the paper
in 1866, whe it was under the man
agement of the Kidneys, who founded
it. Successive arrangements came an6
went, the personnel of the composing
room changed, but he remained tru'
TO his first love. During his career h.
knew and worked with hundreds o
n-ewspapermen and printers, and dieC
possessing the confidence and esteem
: of all.
He is survived by one son, Alber
E., and a widow, who was his SECOND
wife. He also leaves a sister. He i
