CASE STRICKEN FROM DOCKET
MILD SENSATION TODAY IN
q. S. SUPREME COURT.
Chief Justice Regards as impairment
the Papers in the Lumber
Company's Suit.

Chief Justice Fuller today created a
mild sensation in the Supreme Court of
the United States by announcing that
papers in the case of the Yellow Poplar
Lumber Company vs. s. +. Chapman
would be stricken from the records of the
court because of their scandalous nature.
The case came to this court on a petition
for a writ of certiorari, asking for a re-
view of the decision of the United States
circuit court of appeals for the fourth
circuit. The controversy involves a con-
tract by Chapman to deliver to the COM
pany Jo.OOo,OOJ feet of lumber in Vir-
ginia
In Favor of Chapman.
The court of appeals decided in favor
of Chapman. and in its petition the COM
pany asks review on various grounds
one of which is stated as follows:
The opinion of the court of appeals is
so grotesque in it's conclusions of law
and prepared with so little care ard
study as to be almost unintelligible.

The Chief Justice did not quote any
portion of the papers. but referring to
them i'm general way said that they
were 80 impertinent and improper that
they would be stricken from the docket
in order to protect the records of the
court from scandal"
The petition for a writ OF review was
denied.

Attorneys Statement in Dis.

John B. Daish Gives View of Pro-

Payments to $22, 500.
DIFFERENCES OVER FEES
ALLOWANCE MADE TO COUNSEL

According to Attorney John b. Daish
the difference between Capt. Oberlin Nj.
Carter and the government in the mat
ter Of the allowance of fees to Capt.
Carriers counsel is all due 10 the nser-
ton OF two commas.
This fact was brought out in the reply
filed in the Supreme Court of the United
States today by Mr.. Daish TO the petit
ton of the government for writ pro-
hibiting the United States circuit court
at Chicago from making further allow
ance of counsel fees.
The case involves the disposal Of about

Application by Solicitor Bowers.

The application for a prohbitory writ
was made by Solicitor General Bowers
TWO weeks ago, and at that time the cir
cult court was directed to make no fur
Their distribution of the funds pending a
hearing of the petition. Mr. Daish made
his return to the writ today
He agrees with the solicitor general
that the rights of the parties are de-
pendent on stipulation which provides
that "the Carriers We're 10 turn over to
the receiver at least substantially all Of
certain funds
Quoting this provision, the solicitor gen.
eral inserted commas before and after the
clause 'at least substantially" which
were not in the original document. and
which, Mr.. Daish said. changes its mean
ing.
Circuit Courts Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Daish contends that the circuit
court has complete jurisdiction over the
payment of counsel fees. his argument
being that the appeal OF the case to the
Supreme Court did not have the effect Of
removing the funds from the circuit
court. He calls attention TO the fact that
the fund amounts to about 100000, in
stead of S135,OO0, as has been stated. and
he says that only S22.J00 has been al
lowed for the payment OF attorneys. in
stead of 5000. as has been claimed by
the government.
This payment he also AYERS was made
to attorneys engaged in the case below.
and not to those who prepared the APP
peal and in whose behalf the contem-
plated payment was to have been made.
The answer is filed in Mr.. Daish's
name, and in the absence of Capt. Car
ter. He says that Carter is I'm Idaho
and could not be reached. but adds that
if desired by the court he will present
the matter in person when he is found.
Time Extended.
Owing to the fact that Judge Kohl
Eaat, TO whom the writ of prohibition
would be directed, had not made reply
to the order Of the court temporarily
prohibiting the distribution of the Car
ter funds the term for the formal re-
turn to the rule was extended for two
