IN: SUPREME COURT!
Question, "Does the Consti
tution Follow the Flag?"
Argued Today
ATTT GENERAL'S POINT
The Consolidated Case Involves
Both the Philippines and
Porto Rico
ftv telegraph to The Times.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 17. The great
constitutional question. "Does the consti
tution follow the flag," will be argued Id
the United Slates Supreme Court today.
A soldier named I'epke, ret imed from
l ho Philippines with a number of diamond
rings. The customs authorities seized
the rings as smuggled. Pepke claimed
that the Philippines are American terri
tory and no duty is properly collectible.
The lower courts decided against Pepke's
contention, and the case comes to the
Supreme Court on appeal. Attorney Gen
: cral Griggs appears for the government,
arguing that' the ' goods were properly
seized. As within the meaning of the
tariff act of 18fl7, Luzon and Porto Kico
are regarded as foreign, belonging to,
but not forming in a domestic sense, part
of the United States. ' -
GRIGGS' ARGUMENT. .
The Attorney General makes the follow
ing points:
"There is fib doubt that It was the
intention of the treaty of Paris not to
make the ceded islands part of the Uni
ted States.
"There is no doubt, also, that it waB
Intended by that instrument not to make
the inhabitants citizens.
"So that if the treaty is not to have
r fleet as so intended it must be, because
it violates in some respect the Federal
Constitution, and this court is called upon
to declare the treaty void in such re
spects." PORTO RICO INVOLVED.
Porlo Rico is also involved through col
lection of the duty on tobacco imported
from the Island, the claim being made
that, as a part of the United States no
duties on imports can properly be col
lected. The cases are -consolidated and
the doclalon is expected "to cover both.

The Commission receives many applica

It is understood that the Corporation

60 rears old, were arrested at Barkey
ille. Venango county, last night charged
with counterfeiting. They were engag
ed in making spurious coin, when the se
cret service officers came upon them.

PLACE FOR REFORMATORY
A lady suggests to The Times that the
old military school at Hillsboro. which be
longs to the Farmers' Alliance, and which
was fdr some time operated as a shoe
factory, will be the best site for the Re
formatory for young criminals, when it
Is established by the State. She thinks
that the property could be secured at a
low price and a good-sized farm could be
bought near it, so that the institution
would be almost self-sustaining.

"Dr. Kirby, Superintendent of
State Hospital at Iialeiah appeared
before the Council and upon his ur
gent request, the Council makes the
following minute, to-wit: : "
"Inasmuch as the Legislature, ot Its
last- session, made no appropriation for
the support of the da-ngerous insane,
and yet require therci to ' be kepiti
separate from the: other insane In- the
State penitentiary, and inasmuch as
the, failure to make ai)propriation for
the support of the eaiu dajigeroua ln -sane
was through a oversight on the
part of the Legislture;
Now. therefore, upon the present-;
tion of these facts, and upon thft re?-
quei.t of the Board of Director of the
State Hospital for the Insane, at Hal -eigh.
the Council advises,-and request
the Treasurer of the State, to loan U
the I?oard of Diivctors of the State

thousand dollars to be used for the

TWtf IMPORTANT CASES
Supreme Court may Pass on
Coley and Jones Suits Tomorrow
- As yet the Supreme' Court has ren
dered no decision on'the appeal taken
ay the railroad in the suit of Mr
Samuel Coley and It is thought ex
tremely probable that the decision will :
be given tomorrow. Mr, Coley sued
the road for damages " the Joss, of an
arm- and n jury in the Wa ke Superior
coiiirt, gave him $13,500. An ' a,p)eal
was taken to the Supreme COUrt, and -
n.rirneri nemra rnnt rvinv nranv Ttvn
moutlis ago. but as jet 110 decision, has
been handed down..,-,' Another case of
considerable local iuterestfipon which
the Supreme court has yet to make it
decision public is the suit against ex
Sheriff II. T. Jones. As tomorrow is
the last regular day for handing down
opinions before the court adjourns it
is considered exti-emely probable that
both appeals will then be decided.
