MATTER OF WRlTS OF ERROR
Said to Be No Statute Under
Which Government Can Sue.
IN A PURELY CRIMINAL CASE
Situation Possibly Due to a Curious
Oversight, Perhaps Predicated Of
Erroneous Advice.
IN A PURELY CRIMINAL CASE

1t is said to be both interesting
and important from a legal stand
point that by curious oversight.
perhaps predicated of erroneous
advice as to the local law, the re-
cent so-called criminal appeals act
does not apply to the District of
Columbia; nor, it is declared, is
there any statute under which the
government can sue out a writ of
error to the Supreme Court of the
United States in a purely criminal
case in the District.
In his last annual message to Congress-
the President recommends legislation CIV
ing the government the right of appeal to
the Supreme Court in criminal cases, stat
ing that such right exists here, but the sit
uation under our law is said to be to the
contrary. AS applied to criminal cases, the
word appeal is used only in it's general
sense.
In purely criminal prosecutions before the
the defendant has the right of appeal to
the Court of Appeals of this District, and
by section 935 of the code it is provided
that in all criminal prosecutions the
United States or the District of Columbia,
the case may be. shall have the same
right of appeal that is given to the de-
PENDANT.
The Supreme Court, it is explained, has
decided that in purely criminal prosecu-
ton in this District the defendant has no
right of appeal to that court; and under
the terms of section $50 of the code 1t is
said to necessarily follow that neither the
United States nor the District of Columbia
has such right. The reason for the dec-
sion mentioned is stated to be that the local
statute prescribing the Jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court requires the matter in dis
pute to be capable of pecuniary estimation,
and the mere guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused is not of that character.
No Appellate Jurisdiction.
Apart from very few special instances,
the Supreme Court, 1t is stated, has no ap-
pellate jurisdiction over the judgments of
any local court except the Court of APP
peals; but by the fifth section of the act
of March 3, 1891, creating the federal cir
cult courts of appeals, writs of error or
appeals may be taken from the district and
circuit courts of the United States direct
cases, in most of which it is not necessary
that the matter in dispute shall be capa-
BILE of pecuniary estimation, or that the
case shall be of any particular character
so long as certain questions are involved.
The right of review In cases of conviction
of capital or otherwise infamous crime as
such was given in terms, but six years

ON NEW TEMPLE
REMOVAL OF OLD STRUCTURES
PLANS FOR MASONIC FAIR.

Work on the new Masonic Temple, to be
erected on the triangle at the intersection
Of New York avenue, 18th and H streets,
has been commenced. The Thompson
Starrett Company, contractors for the
building, had large force of laborers at
work this morning removing the old struc-
lures, and marked progress is being made.
The stores, and dwellings on the site have
been vacant for several months in an
ticpation of the commencement of con-
struction, SO that there will be no delay of
any kind, and the contractors expect to
have them RACED and to begin excavating
within two weeks. Tangible evidence that
there is to be new temple has increased
the enthusiasm of the workers for the
coming Masonic fair. An evidence of this
is the large attendance at the lodge COM
mittee meetings at fair headquarters, 1925
New York avenue which being held
nightly. Every room at the disposal of the
board of control was occupied last night
Six committees were in session and much
work was done.
Pentalpha Lodge committee completed
arrangements for euchre to be given at
fair headquarters this evening and box
party at the same place next Monday.
The committee of the lodge has received
a donation of plaster bust by U. S. j.
Dunbar, and in order to incite the ladies
to do their best to realize a good price for
it prize in the form of a free trip to the

Mrs. George Butt was selected to be gypsy

great success in gathering donations for
the fair. Reports so far made to Mrs Glib
son show aggregate of $500 in cash.

duty TO his state and to the nation

to deliver a series of lectures in Ala.
bama before the State Medical asso-

jects. Or. Curtis needs no praise for
his work, for he stands at the very
top as surgeon. And when We say
this, We do not mean that he is a
great colored surgeon. but great
surgeon-in our opinion. the equal Of
any surgeon in the United States.
Less has been said about him than
about many other men, but he is a
real worker, is a student, always
keeping abreast of the times and his
profession, and giving of his time and
energies to the cause of human uplift
and human happiness. The Medical
association has great honor in hav-
ing the services of such a man as DR..
Curtis TO appear before it. We be.
lieve in Dr. Curtis and always feel a
certain pride in his achievements, and
applaud his ever constant upward
march.
