UMBREIT WINS SUIT
MILWAUKEEAN'S CLAIM AGAINST
BERLIN BANK UPHELD.
United States Supreme Court Hands
Down Decision UNFOLDING Wis
consin Tribunal.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. Pain
the case of the Berlin Banking corpora
ton known as the Disconto Gesell-
schaft VS.. Augustus G. Umbreit decided
by the supreme court of the United
States today favorably to Umbreit, was
involved the international question as to
whether a domestic creditor should be
given a preference over a foreign cred
ltOr in the American courts. The SUI
preme court of Wisconsin, in which state
the suit originated, held in favor Of such
preference and its judgment was at
tirmed by today's action Of the federal
supreme court, the opinion being by
Justice Day.
The litigation which has just been de-
termined in favor of Mr.. Umbreit arose
from the troubles of Gerhard Terlinden,
who was eXtradited from Milwaukee to
Germany on a charge of embezzlement
some six years ago.
Mr.. Umbreit defended Terlinden in the
extradition proceedings and also in civil
proceedings which were brought by the
Disconto Gesellschaft. Terlinden had
deposited some SCI, 900 in the banks and
safe deposits of Milwaukee. The Marine
National bank had $1,000 on deposit; the
First National had $4,000 and the rest
was in the vaults of the safe deposit

attached the funds in the safe deposits
and garnisheed the funds in the banks
under a 100000 judgment. Mr.. UNI
brett, when his bill of $500 for at
ney's fees was not paid, also attached
and garnisheed the funds, insisting that
as a domestic creditor he was entitled
to preference over foreign creditor. The
case was tried in the circuit court
against Mr.. Umbreit on the ground that
his attachments came in two years after
those Of the German corporation. An
appeal to the supreme court Of the state
resulted in a reversal of this decision.
Upon this judgment the Marine bank
paid over the amount claimed to be in
it's hands. amounting to S11O0 with in
terest The First National, however,
took the case to the federal supreme
court, claiming that it involved VIOLA
ton of our treaty with Germany and
that due process of law had not been
observed. The amount in the hands OF
this bank. claimed by Mr.. Umbreit, is
about $4,000. Mr.. Umbreit still is con-
fronted with the claim of A. B.. May,
a Chicago attorney, who asserts that he
Is entitled to a share of the money just
recovered by the Milwaukee lawyer.
This claim has been disputed and the
matter held in allegiance pending the de-
cision of the courts.

Speeches Made Eagle Sick.

The eagle which has perched upon the
top of the historic mace at the right hand
Of the Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives these sixty-seven years,
since John Tyler was President, is sick.
For all these years the eagle has with
stood the Onslaughts of elOquence 1t sat
there calmly through the thunders of
war statesmen. The slavery question was
debated in it's presence, and after the
war it heard COnkling, Blaine, Lamar,
Sunset Cox, and a long line of orators,
even down to the present time of John
Wesley Gaines, all without a culver. But
this week has been too much for it.
The spread-eagle speeches which have
shaken the rafters not only of the capt.
toll, but of the country, have at last
aroused the emulation of the silver eagle,
and it decided to stretch its mighty PIN
ions for q fight. But, alas! like so many
other flights of the week, it fell fat.
This happened at the close of the ses-
sion the other day. The sergeant at
arms was called. Upon examination it
was given out that the eagle would have
TO be taken to Philadelphia, as there is
not the kind Of solder master in Wash
ingtOn who can set the historic bird back
upon it's perch.
This must wait though, till the close
of the session, as the mace must ever
be at the right hand of the Speaker.
So the silver bird with its two feet in
a sling, sits there now, a sight to inspire
pity and regret.
