The appellate docket at the close of the last term shows a decrease
of 1 case since the close of the preceding term. At the close of the
October term, 1898, there remained undisposed of on the appellate
docket 304 cases, and upon the original docket 4 cases, making a total
of 308. The number of cases docketed at the October term, 1899, was
384, 370 of which were on the appellate docket, and 14 on the original
docket, which, with the 4 cases pending on the original docket, make
the total number of eases pending at that term 692, of which 674

were on the appellate and 18 on the original docket Of this number
375 were disposed of during the October term, 1899, of which 371
were on the appellate and 4 on the original docket, leaving undisposed
of at the close of the October term, 1889, 317 cases, of which 303 were
on the appellate and 14 on the original docket.

The number of cases actually considered by the court was 328, of
which 174 were argued orally and 154 submitted on printed arguments.
Of the 371 appellate cases disposed of, 129 were affirmed, 65 reversed,
58 dismissed, 30 settled by the parties and dismissed; in 9, questions
certified were answered, and 80 were denials of petitions for writs of
certiorari under the act of March 3, 1891.

The total number of cases on the appellate docket in which the
United States was a party or had a substantial interest disposed of at
the October term, 1899, was 74. The United States was appellant,
etc., in 18 of these cases and appellee , etc., in 56.

Of the 18 cases appealed, etc., by the Government, 8 were decided
in its favor and 8 adversely, and 2 cases were dismissed by it.

Of the 56 cases in which the Government was appellee, etc., 36 were
determined in its favor and 8 adversely, 1 was dismissed by the appel-
lant, 2 were dismissed by the court for failure of the appellant, etc.,
to comply with the rules, 7 were docketed and dismissed, and 1 was
dismissed by the court and 1 decided in part in favor of the United
States.

Of the above 74 cases, 8 were appeals from the Court of Claims, of
which 1 was taken by the Government. The 1 case so appealed was
decided in favor of the Government, while of the 7 cases in which it
was appellee 6 were decided in its favor and 1 was dismissed by the
court for noncompliance with the rules.

Of the 74 cases disposed of 3 were capital, of which 1 was decided
in favor of the United States and 1 adversely and 1 affirmed in part.

Ten cases were appeals, etc., from the circuit court of appeals, of
which 6 were decided in favor of and 2 against the United States, 1
was dismissed for noncompliance with the rules, and 1 was dismissed
by the court.

Eighteen cases were from the Court of Private Land Claims, 8 of
which were appealed by the Government and 10 by the other side.

Of the 8 cases appealed by the Government 4 were decided in its
favor, 2 adversely, and 2 dismissed by it, while of the 10 cases in which
the United States was appellee 4 were decided in its favor and 6 were
docketed and dismissed.

The United States was respondent in 6 petitions for writs of cer-
tiorari under the act of March 3, 1891, and in 2 petitions for certiorari
to the court of appeals of the District of Columbia in capital cases,
which were denied.

RFP0RT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 5

Of the whole number of cases in which the Government had a sub-
stantial interest heard and decided by the court, 45 were decided in its
favor, 1 in part for the United States, and 16 against the United States.

In addition to the above, in 2 original cases in which the Govern-
ment was respondent motions for leave to file petitions for writs of
habeas corpus and certiorari were denied.

Among the many cases heard and decided by the Supreme Court of
the United States during the October term, 1899, the following are the
more important:

The Addyston Pipe and Steel Company v. The United States. (175 TJ. S., 211.)

This case grew out of a combination of six shops, located, one in
Ohio, one in Kentucky, two in Tennessee, and two in Alabama, which
were engaged in making cast-iron pipe for gas, water, and sewer pur-
poses. These shops controlled the market in that commodity in thirty-
six States west of the Allegheny Mountains and south of Virginia.
They entered into an agreement to control prices by suppressing com-
petition among themselves. This was done by appointing a repre-
sentative board of one from each shop, to which all inquiries for pipe
were referred. The board fixed the price it thought the job would
stand. The job was then sold over the table, the shop which bid the
highest bonus for the benefit of the pool getting it. At the public
letting the shop that got the job bid the fixed price, and the other
shops overbid in order to deceive the public.

On behalf of the combination it was contended that the power of
Congress, under the interstate commerce clause, does not extend to
agreements among private corporations, but is limited to acts of inter-
ference by the States and by quasi public corporations, such as rail-
roads. Private manufacturing corporations, it was insisted, are not
public agencies and can not be compelled to keep their shops running
or sell their goods to any person who applies. In the next place, it
was urged that there was no restraint put upon interstate commerce,
and that under the decision in the Knight case the creation of a
monopoly in the manufacture of a commodity is not prohibited by
the antitrust law.

The Supreme Court held, however, that Congress may prohibit the
performance of any agreement between individuals or corporations
where the natural and direct effect of it is to regulate or restrain inter-
state commerce. In other words, the antitrust law applies to every
agreement in restraint of interstate trade, whether made by corpora-
tions or individuals.

In the next place the court held that any agreement or combination
which directly restrains not only the manufacture but the sale of a
commodity among the several States comes within the antitrust law.

6 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

The distinction between direct and incidental restraint is to be observed.
A combination formed for the purpose of monopolizing the manufac-
ture of a commodity within the States may, indirectly and incident-
ally, suppress competition in the sale of the articles among the several
States. But the Supreme Court held in the Knight case that such
indirect and incidental result would not be sufficient to bring thq com-
bination within the reach of the act. It must be shown that the
combination was formed not only to monopolize the production of the
commodity, but to suppress competition and enhance prices in its sale
among the several States. The syllabus of the case is as follows:

Under the grant of power to Congress, contained in section 8 of
Article 1 of the Constitution, "to regulate commerce with for-
eign nations and among the several States, and with Indian tribes,"
that body may enact such legislation as shall declare void and pro-
hibit the performance of any contract between individuals or cor-
porations where the natural and. direct effect of such a contract
shall be, when carried out, to directly, and not as a mere incident
to other and innocent purposes, regulate to any extent interstate
or foreign commerce.

The provision in the Constitution regarding the liberty of the
citizen is to some extent limited by this commerce clause; and
the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce comprises
the right to enact a law prohibiting the citizen from entering into
those private contracts which directly and substantially, and not
merely indirectly, remotely, incidentally, and collaterally, regulate,
to a greater or less degree, commerce among the States.

Interstate commerce consists of intercourse and traffic between
the citizens or inhabitants of different States, and includes not only
the transportation of persons and property and the navigation of
public waters for that purpose, but also the purchase, sale, and
exchange of commodities.

The power to regulate interstate commerce and to prescribe the
rules by which it shall be governed is vested in Congress, and
when that body has enacted a statute such as the act of July 2,
1890, c. 647, entitled "an act to protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraints and monopolies," any agreement or combina-
tion which directly operates, not alone upon the manufacture, but
upon the sale, transportation, and delivery of an article of inter-
state commerce, by preventing or restricting its sale, thereby regu-
lates interstate commerce to that extent, and thus trenches upon
the power of the National Legislature and violates the statute.

The contracts considered in this case, pet forth in the statement
of facts and in the opinion of the court, relate to the sale and
transportation to other States of specific articles, not incidentally
or collaterally, but as a direct and immediate result of the combi-
nation entered into by the defendants; and they restrain the manu-
facturing, purchase, sale, or exchange of the manufactured articles
among the several States, and enhance their value, and thus come
within the provisions of the "act to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monopolies."

When the direct, immediate, and intended effect of a contract
or combination among dealers in a commodity is the enhancement

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 7

of its price, it amounts to a restraint of trade in the commodity,
even though contracts to buy it at the enhanced price are being
made.

The judgment of the court below, which perpetually enjoined
the defendants in the court below from maintaining the combina-
tion in cast-iron pipe as described in the petition, and from doing
any business under such combination, is too broad, as it applies
equally to commerce which is wholly within a State as well as to
that which is interstate or international only.

Although the jurisdiction of Congress over commerce among
the States is full and complete, it is not questioned that it has
none over that which is wholly within a State, and therefore none
over combinations or agreements so far as they relate to a
restraint of such trade or commerce; nor does it acquire any juris-
diction over that part of a combination or agreement which relates
to commerce wholly within a State, by reason of the fact that
the combination also covers and regulates commerce which is
interstate.

La Abra Silver Mining Company v. United States (175 TJ. S., 423) and

Weil et al. v. United States.

It is gratifying to say that the cases which had occupied the atten-
tion of this Government in its three departments, successively, for
nearly a quarter of a century have been absolutely disposed of, and
that the money in the hands of this Government abiding their deter-
mination (namely, the sum of $60,863.85) has been paid back to the
Government of Mexico.

These cases it will be remembered had their origin in the claim of
Mexico that the awards made against her in favor of La Abra Silver
Mining Company, a corporation created by the State of New York,
and Benjamin Weil, a citizen of the United States, under the treaty
between the United States and Mexico, of July 4, 1868 (15 Stat. , 679),
had been obtained by fraud effectuated by means of false swearing or
other false and fraudulent practices on the part of said claimants.
The seriousness of the evidence supporting the representations of
Mexico, on the one hand, and the express provision of the treaty, on
the other, that the awards made under it should be absolutely " final
and conclusive upon each claim decided" and that "full effect" should
be given to such awards, "without any objection, evasion, or delay
whatsoever," presented a queer situation, which seriously menaced the
friendly relations between the two Governments.

Mexico, with the utmost good faith, paid to the United States every
dollar awarded against her in favor of the said claimants, but at the
same time insisted that there was nothing in the treaty or in the law
of nations that prevented this Government from defeating the attempt
to make it an instrument in consummating the fraud and perjury
charged by turning over to the perpetrators, its own citizens, the
money resulting therefrom.

8 BEP0BT OF THE ATTOBNEY-GENEBAL.

The executor, finding itself unprovided with the means of dealing
effectively with the questions presented, turned the whole matter over
to Congress, after having distributed to the said claimants a consid-
erable part of the money paid to this Government by Mexico under
the said awards, namely, $412,572.70, with the recommendation that
provision should be made by proper legislation for a judicial examina-
tion and determination of said questions.

After much discussion and delay Congress finally passed the two
acts, dated, respectively, December 28, 1892 (27 Stat., 409-410), giv-
ing the Court of Claims jurisdiction to determine the question of fraud
in suits to be instituted by the United States against La Abra Com-
pany and Benjamin Weil, respectively, and those claiming under them,
and providing that, in case the court should find fraud and perjury
to have been used in procuring either of said awards or any part
thereof, the claimants should be barred and foreclosed as to the whole
or such part of said award, and the money paid thereunder returned
to Mexico.

The suits contemplated by said act of Congress were duly brought,
and, after volumes of testimony introduced and much laborious and
protracted discussion in the Court of Claims and in the Supreme Court
of the United States, decided in favor of the United States; in other
words, that the awards in question had been obtained by means of
fraud and perjury as to the full amounts thereof.

Thus has ended a litigation which will be always memorable in the
history of this Government.

The syllabus is as follows:

The commissioners appointed under the treaty between the
United States and Mexico concluded July 4, 1868, and proclaimed
February 1, 1869 (15 Stat., 679), having differed in opinion as to
the allowance of the claim of the La Abra Silver Mining Company,
a New York corporation, against Mexico, the umpire decided for
that company and allowed its claim, amounting, principal and
interest, to the sum of $683,041.32. Mexico met some of the
installments of the award and then laid before the United States
certain newly discovered evidence which it contended showed that
the entire claim of the La Abra Company was fictitious and
fraudulent. The Secretary of State thereafter withheld the
remaining installments paid by Mexico, and, upon examining the
new evidence, reported to the President that in his judgment the
honor of the United States was concerned to inquire whether, in
submitting the La Abra claim to the commission, its confidence
had not been seriously abused, and recommended that Congress
exert its plenary authority in respect of the disposition of the
balance of the funds received from Mexico and remaining in the
hands of the United States. Finally, Congress passed tne act of
December 28, 1892 (27 Stat., 409, c. 14), by which the Attorney-
General was directed to bring suit in the name of the United
States in the Court of Claims against the La Abra Company and

EEPOBT OF THE ATTOBNEY-GENEBAL. 9

all persons asserting any interest in the award of the Commission
to determine whether that award was obtained, as to the whole sum
included therein or as to any part thereof, by fraud effectuated by
means of false swearing or other false and fraudulent practices on
the part of the company or its agents, attorneys, or assigns, and, if
so determined, to bar and foreclose all claim in law or equity on the
part of the company, its legal representatives or assigns, to the
money or any such part thereof received from the Republic of
Mexico for or on account of the award. By that act lull juris-
diction was conferred on the Court of Claims, with right of
appeal to this court, to determine such suit, to make all proper
interlocutory and final decrees therein, and to enforce the same
by injunction or other final process. The act further authorized
the return to Mexico of any moneys paid by it on the award and
remaining in the custody of the United States if the issue of fraud
was determined adversely to the company. If the decision was
favorable to the company, it was made the duty of the Secretary
of State to proceed with the distribution of the funds in his hands.
The act of 1892 was presented to the President on December 20.
Two days thereafter Congress took a recess until January 4, 1893.
The President signed the bill on December 28, 1892. Hdd:

(1) That the act of 1892 was not invalid by reason of its having
been signed during a recess of Congress. Whether the President
can sign a bill after the final adjournment of Congress for the ses-
sion was not decided;

(2) The suit brought by the Attorney-General involved rights
capable of judicial determination and was a "case" within the
meaning of the clause of the Constitution extending the judicial
power of the United States to all cases in law and equity arising
under that instrument, the laws of the United States, and the
treaties made by it or under its authority. The act did not in any
wise trench upon the constitutional functions of the President.
Nor was it simply ancillary or advisory to him. Whatever decree
was rendered by the Court of Claims was, unless reversed, bind-
ing and conclusive upon the United States and the defendants;

(3) The act was not liable to the objection that it was inconsist-
ent with the principles underlying international arbitration. On
the contrary, such legislation is an assurance in the most solemn
and binding form that the Government of this country will exert
all the power it possesses to enforce good faith upon the part of
citizens who, asserting that they have been wronged Tby the
authorities of another country, seek the intervention of their
Government to obtain redress;

(4) This court was entitled to look at all the evidence in the
cause on the issue as to fraud, because the act did not contemplate
a special finding by the Court of Claims of the ultimate facts estab-
lished by the evidence;

(5) The question stated in the act of 1892 — whether the award
in question "was obtained as to the whole sum included therein,
or as to any part thereof, by fraud effectuated by means of false
swearing or other false and fraudulent practices on the part of the
said La Abra Silver Mining Company, or its agents, attorneys, or
assigns" — is answered in the affirmative as to the whole sum
included in the award.

10 BBPOBT OF THE ATTOBNEY-GENEBAL.

The United States v. The Oregon and California Railroad Company. (176

U.S., 28.)

The question involved in this case was the right of the United
States to about 218,000 acres of land near Portland, Oreg., granted to
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company by the act of "July 2, 1864,
and forfeited, for failure to construct the road, to the Government by
the act of September 29, 1890, in view of the overlapping grant to the
Oregon and California Railroad Company by the act of July 25, 1866,
under which that road was constructed and the lands patented to it.

The original suit was brought by direction of Attorney-General
Miller to cancel the patents to the Oregon and California and restore
the lands to the public domain. The court held that as the route of
the Northern Pacific had not been definitely fixed prior to the time of
the grant to the Oregon and California and the date of the definite
location of the latter road the lands were lawfully entered by the
Oregon and Calif or nia and were rightfully patented to it. The syllabus
of the case is as follows:

By the act of July 2, 1864 (13 Stat. , 365, c. 217), Congress granted
lands to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to aid in tne con-
struction of a railroad and telegraph line from a point on Lake
Superior in Wisconsin or Minnesota to some point on Puget Sound,
with a branch, via the valley of the Columbia River, to a point at
or near Portland, in the State of Oregon. The grant was of
"every alternate section of public land, not mineral, designated
by oda numbers, to the amount of twenty alternate sections per
mile on each side of said railroad line as said company may adopt
through the Territories of the United States, and ten alternate
sections of land per mile on each side of said railroad whenever it
passes through any State, and whenever, on the line thereof, the
United States have full title, not reserved, sold, granted, or
otherwise appropriated, and free from preemption, or other claims
or rights, at the time the line of said road is definitely fixed, and
a plat thereof filed in the office of the Commissioner of the Gen-
eral Land Office; and whenever, prior to said time, any of said
sections or parts of sections shall have been granted, sold, reserved,
occupied by homestead settlers, or preempted, or otherwise dis-
posed of, other lands shall be selected by said company in lieu
thereof, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, in
alternate sections, and designated by odd numbers, not more tnan
10 miles beyond the limits of said alternate sections." In March,
1865, the president of that company filed in the Land Department
a map which, if of value for any purpose, was only a map of
" general route," not one of definite location between Wallula and
Portland. That map was not accepted. By act of July 25, 1866
(14 Stat., 239, c. 242), Congress made a grant of land in aid of
the construction of a railroad and telegraph line between Port-
land, Oreg. , and the Central Pacific Railroad Company in California.
That grant was in the usual terms employed in such acts. Subse-
quently the benefit of that grant as to the part of the road to be

REPOBT OF THE ATTOBBTEY-GENEBAL. 11

constructed in Oregon was conferred upon the Oregon Central
Railroad Company. The lands here in dispute, whether place or
indemnity, were within the limits of the grant of 1866. The
entire line of road of the Oregon and California Railroad Com-
pany, which was the successor of the Oregon Central Railroad
Company, was fully constructed and duly accepted by the Presi-
dent, and at the time this suit was begun was being operated and
had been continuously operated by that company. The Oregon
Company filed its map of definite location m 1870, and it was
accepted by the Land Department. By the act of September 29,
1890 (26 Stat , 496, c. 1040), all lands theretofore granted to any
State or corporation to aid in the construction of a railroad oppo-
site to or coterminous with the portion of any such railroad not
then completed and in operation, for the construction of which
such lands were granted:, were forfeited to the United States.
There never was any withdrawal of indemnity lands on the pro-
posed line of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company between
Wallula and Portland, nor was there any definite location or con-
struction of its road opposite to the lands in suit. Held,

(1) That nothing in the act of 1864 stood in the way of Congress
subsequently granting to other railroad corporations the privilege
of earning any lands that might be embraced within the general
route of the Northern Pacific Railroad.

(2) That as the grant contained in that act did not include any
lands that had been reserved, sold, granted, or otherwise appro-
priated at the time the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad was
"definitely fixed;" as the route of the Northern Pacific Railroad
had not been definitely fixed at the time the act of July 25, 1866,
was passed, or when the line of the Oregon Company was defi-
nitely located; as the lands in dispute are within the limits of the
grant contained in the act of 1866; as the route of the Oregon
Railroad was definitely fixed, at least when the map showing that
route was accepted by the Secretary of the Interior on the 29tn day
of January, 18TO — the Northern Pacific Railroad Company having
done nothing prior to the latter date except to file the Jrerham map
of 1865; and as prior to the forfeiture act of September 29, 1890,
there had not been any definite location of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road opposite the lands in dispute, there is no escape from the conclu-
sion that these lands were lawfully earned by the Oregon Company
and were rightfully patented to it. Of course, if the route of the
Northern Pacific road had been definitely located before the act of
1890 was passed and had embraced the lands in dispute different
questions would have been presented.

The United States v. The Northern Pacific Railroad Co. (177 U. S., 435.)

This was a suit brought by the Government to cancel the patent
granted to the Northern Pacific for a tract of land more than 10 miles
east of Duluth, Minn. The question involved was whether Duluth,
Minn., or Ashland, Wis., is the eastern terminus of the Northern
Pacific under the act of July 2, 1864. In this suit the Government
contended that Duluth, Minn., is the eastern terminus; but the court,

12 BEPOBT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENEBAL.

following the decision in Doherty r. Northern Pacific, argued and
decided at the same time, held Ashland to be the terminus. The
following is the syllabus:

The important questions of fact and law are substantially the
same in this case and in Doherty v. Northern Pacific Kailway
Company, ante 421, and that case is followed in this in regard to
the questions common to the two cases.

The obvious purpose of this suit was to have the question of
the proper terminus of the company's road determined; and if
that terminus was found to be at Ashland, then the complainant
would not be entitled to any relief.

Under the act of July 4, 1864, noncompletion of the railroad
within the time limited did not operate as a forfeiture.

As the bill in this case does not allege that it is brought under
authority of Congress for the purpose of enforcing a forfeiture,
and does not allege any other legislative act looking to such an
intention, this suit must be regarded as only intended to have the
point of the eastern terminus judicially ascertained.

As the Evidence and conceded facte failed to show any mistake,
f raud, or error in fact or in law in the action of the Land Depart-
ment in accepting the location of the eastern terminus made by
the company, and in issuing the patent in question, the bill was
properly dismissed.

The United States v. The|Bellingham Bay Boom Company. (176 U. S., 211.)

This was a suit brought by the Attorney-General, upon the request
of the Secretary of War, under the authority conferred by the river
and harbor act of September 19, 1890, to enjoin the Bellingham Bay
Boom Company from maintaining a boom in the Nooksak river, a
navagable stream in the State of Washington. The boom company
contended that its boom was authorized by the law of Washington and
that whether it was constructed in accordance with that law was a State
question, to be determined by the courts of the State of Washington,
with which the Federal courts could have no concern. This was the
view taken by the lower courts, but the Supreme Court reversed the
case, holding that the question whether the boom was an obstruction
to navigation and whether it was affirmatively authorized by the State
law were questions to be passed upon by the Federal courts. The
Supreme Court held that the boom was an obstruction and was not
authorized by the State law. The following is the syllabus:

The power of Congress to pass laws for the navigation of public
rivers, and to prevent any and all obstructions therein, can not be
questioned.

When the Attorney-General acts under the authority conferred
by the river and harbor act of September 19, 1890, c. 907, he has
the right to call upon the court, upon proper proofs being made,
to enjoin the continuance of any obstruction not authorized by
statute, and the court has jurisdiction, and it is its duty, to decide

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL. 13

whether the existing obstruction is or is not affirmatively author-
ized by law.

In such inquiry the court is bound to decide whether the boom,
as existing, is authorized by any law of the State, when such law
is claimed to be a justification for its creation or continuance.

There is no doubt that the boom in question in this case violates
the statute under which it was built, because it does not allow free
passage between the boom and the opposite shore for boats or
vessels as provided for in the State law.

Rider v. The United States. (178 U. S., 251.)

In this case Rider and his associates, the county commissioners of
Muskingum County, Ohio, were indicted and convicted under the act
of September 19, 1890, for failing to comply with an order of the Sec-
retary of War directing them to remove an obstruction to the naviga-
tion of the Muskingum River by altering in a certain way a bridge
•across that river which the law of Ohio placed under their control.
Without passing upon any questions raised in the case, the court held
that the conviction could not be sustained, because it appeared that the
commissioners did not have in their hands, and under the laws of Ohio
could not obtain, public money that could be applied in execution of
the order of the Secretary of War within the time fixed by that officer
to complete the alteration of the bridge.

The fourth and fifth sections of the river and harbor act, approved
September 19, 1890, provide: "Sec. 4. That section 9 of the
river and harbor act, act of August 11, 1888, be amended and
reenacted so as to read as follows: That whenever the Secretary
of War shall have good reason to believe that any railroad or
other bridge now constructed or which may hereafter be con-
structed over any of the navigable waterways of the United States
is an unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of such waters
on account of insufficient height, width or span, or otherwise, or
where there is difficulty in passing the draw opening of the draw-
span of such bridge by rafts, steamboats, or other water crafts, it
shall be the duty of said Secretary, first giving the parties reasona-
ble opportunities to be heard, to give notice to the persons or cor-
porations owning or controlling such bridge so to alter the same
as to render navigation through or under it reasonably free, easy,
and unobstructed; and in giving such notice he shall specify the
changes to be made and shall prescribe in each case a reasonable
time in which to make them. If at the end of such time the altera-
tion has not been made, the Secretary of War shall forthwith
notify the United States district attorney for the district in which
such bridge is situated to the end that the criminal proceedings
mentioned in the succeeding section may be taken, bee. 5. That
section 10 of the river and harbor act of August 11, 1888, be
amended and reenacted so as to read as follows: That if the per-
sons, corporations, or associations owning or controlling any rail-
road or other bridge shall after receiving notice to that effect, as
hereinafter required, from the Secretary of War, and within the
time prescribed by him, wilfully fail or refuse to remove the sanas^

14 REPORT OP THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

or to comply with the lawful order of the Secretary of War in the
premises, such person, corporation, or association shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be pun-
ished by a fine not exceeding* $5,000, and every month such per-
son, corporation, or association shall remain in default as to the
removal or alteration of such bridge, shall be deemed a new offence
and subject the person, corporation, or association so offending to
the penalties above described." (26 Stat. , 426, 453, c. 907.) Pro-
ceeding under that act the Secretary of War gave notice to the
county commissioners of Muskingum County, Ohio, to make on
or before a named day certain alterations in a bridge over the
Muskingum Kiver, Ohio, at Taylorsville, in that State. The com-
missioners, although having control of the bridge, did not make the
alterations required and were indicted under the act of Congress.
ITeld, That however broadly the act of Congress may be con-
strued, it ought not to be construed as embracing officers of a
municipal corporation owning or controlling a bridge who had
not in their hands, and under the laws of their State could not
obtain, public moneys that could be applied in execution of the
order of the Secretary of War within the time fixed by that officer
to complete the alteration of such bridge.

Leovy v. The United States. (177 U. S., 621.)

In this case the court reversed a conviction of Leovy for building a
dam across the Red Pass, claimed to be a navigable stream flowing
into the Gulf of Mexico from the Jump, an outlet of the Mississippi
into the Gulf. The defendant below claimed to have acted under
authority of the State of Louisiana. The views of the court are suf-
ficiently stated in the syllabus, which is as follows:

Subject to the paramount jurisdiction of Congress over the nav-
igable waters of the United States, the State of Louisiana had,
under the act of March 2, 1849, c. 87, and the other statutes
referred to in the opinion of the court, full power to authorize
the construction and maintenance of levees, drains, and other
structures necessary and suitable to reclaim swamp and overflowed
lands within its limits.

The dam constructed by the plaintiff in error at Red Pass was
constructed under the police power of the State and within the
terms and purpose of the grant by Congress.

The decision of the jury, to whom it had been left to determine
whether the plaintiff in error was guilty, that the pass was in fact
navigable, is not binding upon this court.

The term navigable waters of the United States has reference to
commerce of a substantial and permanent character to be con-
ducted thereon.

The defendant below was entitled to the instruction asked for,
but refused, that the jury should be satisfied from the evidence
that Red Pass was at the time it was closed substantially useful
to some purpose of interstate commerce, as alleged in the indict-
ment.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 15

Upon the record now before the court it is held that Red Pass,
in the condition it was when the dam was built, was not shown by
adequate evidence to have been a navigable water of the United
States actually used in interstate commerce and that the court
should have charged the jury, as requested; that upon the whole
evidence adduced the defendants were entitled to a verdict of
acquittal.

Cruickshank v. Bidwell. (176 TJ. S., 73.)

This was a suit brought by Cruickshank, an importer of tea, against
the collector of the port of New York, to enjoin the latter from retain-
ing possession of certain teas which he had seized under the act of
March 2, 1897, "to prevent the importation of impure and unwhole-
some tea." It was claimed that this act is unconstitutional. The
court held that no sufficient ground for an injunction was shown; that
the importer had an adequate remedy at law by a suit to recover from
the collector the value of the teas seized, in case the act were uncon-
stitutional. The following is the syllabus:

The mere fact that a law is unconstitutional does not entitle a
party to relief by injunction against proceedings in compliance
therewith, but it must appear that he has no adequate remedy by
the ordinary processes 01 the law, or that the case falls under
some recognized head of equity jurisdiction; and in this case the
averments of the complainants' bill did not justify such an inter-
ference with Executive action.

The seizure of importations of teas purchased after the approval
of the act of March 2, 1897, c. 358, entitled " An act to prevent
the importation of impure and unwholesome tea," and the estab-
lishment of regulations and standards thereunder, publicly pro-
mulgated and known to complainants, because falling below the
standards prescribed, could inflict no other injury than what it
must be assumed was anticipated, and the interposition of a
court of equity can not properly be invoked, under such circum-
stances, to determine in advance whether complainants, if they
imported teas of that character, could escape the consequences on
the ground of the invalidity of the law.

United States v. Harris. (177 TJ. S., 305.)

The original suit was brought against the receivers of the Philadel-
phia and Beading Railroad Company under sections 4386, 4387, 4388,
and 4389 of the Revised Statutes to recover a penalty for confining
horses, in the course of interstate transportation, in cars more than
twenty-eight consecutive hours, without unloading them for rest,
water, and food.

The court held that under the rule of strict construction applicable
to a penal statute the receivers of a railroad company do not come
within the terms of the law.

16 REPOET OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

In view of this holding, it is a matter for the consideration of Con-
gress whether the existing law ought not to be amended so as to apply
to railroads when managed by their receivers as well as to railroads
when managed by their directors and officers. Obviously, no reason
can be suggested for preventing cruelty to animals by railroads oper-
ated by their officers which do not equally apply to such railroads
when operated by receivers.

Ex Parte Baez. (177 TJ. S., 378.)

Baez, a native-born inhabitant of Porto Rico, applied for leave to
file a petition for writs of habeas corpus and certiorari to secure his
release from further imprisonment under the judgment of the United
States provisional court of Porto Rico, sentencing him to be confined
for thirty days at hard labor for illegal voting at a municipal election
held under a military order. Interesting questions were raised by the
petition, but the court declined to grant leave to file it on the ground
that if the writs should issue, the term of imprisonment would expire
before they could be served and returned.

Carter v. Roberts. (177 TJ. S., 496.)

This case and the decision of the court are sufficiently stated in the
syllabus, which is as follows:

Captain Carter, of the Corps of Engineers in the Army of the
United States, was duly and regularly tried before a legally con-
vened court-martial, was found guilty of the charges made against
him, and was sentenced to dismissal; to be fined; to be imprisoned,
and to publication of crime and punishment; and the sentence was
duly approved and confirmed. On a motion in his behalf the
United States circuit court for the second circuit issued a writ of
habeas corpus to inquire into the matter, which resulted in the
dismissal of the writ and the remanding of Carter to custody.
He took an appeal to the circuit court of appeals for the second
circuit, which affirmed the judgment below, and this court denied
an application for a writ of certiorari to review that judgment.
An appeal and writ of error was allowed on the same day by a
judge of the circuit court to this court.

Held, that the appeal and writ of error could not be maintained,
as they fall directly within the ruling in Robinson v. Caldwell
(165 U. S., 359), where it was held that the judiciary act of March
3, 1891, does not give a defeated party in a circuit court the right
to have his case finally determined both in this court and in the
circuit court of appeals on independent appeals.

When cases arise which are controlled by the construction or
application of the Constitution of the United States, a direct
appeal lies to this court, and if such cases are carried to the circuit
courts of appeals those courts may decline to take jurisdiction, or
where sucn construction or application is involved with other

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 17

questions may certify the constitutional question and afterwards
proceed to judgment, or may decide the whole case in the first
instance; but when the circuit court of appeals has acted on the
whole case, its judgment stands unless revised by certiorari to or
appeal from that court in accordance with the act of March 3, 1891.

Fitzpatrick v. The United States. (178 U. S., 304.)

Fitzpatrick, jointly indicted with two others, was convicted in the
district court of Alaska of the crime of murder, but the jury qualified
their verdict by finding him guilty " without capital punishment."
The judgment was affirmed. A number of interesting questions
respecting the sufficiency of the indictment and the relevancy of testi-
mony were passed upon by the court. Probably the most important
finding was that a conviction for murder is a conviction of a capital
crime, although the jury qualify their verdict of guilty by adding the
words " without capital punishment." The following is the syllabus:

Under the court of appeals act of March 3, 1891, a conviction
for murder is a "conviction of a capital crime," though the jury
qualify their verdict of guilty by adding the words "without capital
punishment." The test of a capital crime is not the punishment
which is imposed, but that which may be imposed under the
statute.

Under the statute of Oregon requiring the offense to be stated
"in ordinary and concise language and in such manner as to enable
a person of common understanding to know what was intended,"
an indictment for murder charging that the defendant feloniously,
purposely, and of deliberate and premeditated malice inflicted
upon the deceased a mortal wound of which he instantly died is a
sufficient allegation of premeditated and deliberate malice in killing
him.

Evidence that one jointly indicted with the defendant was found
to have been wounded in the shoulder, and his accompanying state-
ment that he had been shot, were held to be competent upon the
trial of the defendant.

Any fact which had a bearing upon the question of defendant's
guilt, immediate or remote, ana occurring at any time before the
incident was closed, was held proper for the consideration of the
jury, although statements made by other defendants in his absence
implicating him with the murder would not be competent.

The prisoner, taking the stand in his own behalf and swearing
to an alibi, was held to have been properly cross-examined as to
the clothing worn by him on the night of the murder, his acquaint-
ance with the others jointly indicted with him, and other facts
showing his connection with them.

Where an accused party waives his constitutional privilege of
silence and takes the stand in his own behalf and makes his own
statement, the prosecution has a right to cross-examine him upon
such statement with the same latitude as would be exercised in
the case of an ordinary witness as to the circumstances connecting
him with the alleged crime.

H. Doc. 9—2

18 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

Evidence in rebuttal with respect to the effect of light from the
flash of a revolver was held to be competent where the defense
put in a calendar, apparently for the purpose of showing the time
the moon rose that night.

Knowlton v. Moore. (178 U. S., 41.)

In this case the court sustained the constitutionality of the Federal
tax on legacies and distributive shares of personal property imposed
by the war-revenue act of June 13, 1898. The act was assailed on
many grounds:

1. It was insisted that it was a direct tax, within the decision in the
income-tax cases, because it falls ultimately upon the property inher-
ited, and being unapportioned among the States was invalid.

2. It was urged if not a tax on property, but a tax upon the privi-
lege of transmitting or receiving property, it is invalid because the
privilege of inheritance is conferred and regulated by the States. To
permit the General Government to tax this privilege would be to allow
it to abridge or destroy a right lawfully conferred by the States.

3. Moreover, it was contended that if an excise the tax violated the
rule of uniformity laid down by the Constitution, more especially in
the graded feature, which raises the rate as the Value of the legacy
increases.

The court, in a most able and elaborate opinion by Mr. Justice White,
overruled all these contentions and vindicated in the amplest manner
the authority of the General Government to raise its revenues by tax-
ing valuable privileges however obtained, and in so doing to apportion
the burdens of government equitably, keeping in mind "the ability of
the person on whom the burden is placed to bear the same," The
following is the syllabus:

The plaintiffs in error were the executors of the will of Edwin
F. Knowlton, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The defendant in error was the
United States collector of internal revenue for the first collection
district for the State of New York. Mr. Knowlton died at Brook-
lyn in October, 1898, and his will was duly proved. Under the
portion of the act of Congress of June 13, 1898, which is printed
at length in a note to the opinion of the court in this case, the
United States collector of internal revenue demanded of the execu-
tors a return, showing the amount of the personal estate of the
deceased and the legatees and distributees thereof. This return
the executors made under protest, asserting that the act of June
13 was unconstitutional. This return showed that the personal
estate amounted to over two and a half millions of dollars, and that
there were several legacies ranging from under $10,000 each to
over $1,500,000. The collector levied the tax on the legacies and
distributive shares, but for the purpose of fixing the rate of the
tax considered the whole of the personal estate of the deceased as

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL. 19

fixing the rate for each, and not the amount coming to each indi-
vidual legatee under the will. As the rates under the statute were
progressive from a low rate on legacies amounting to $10,000 to
a high rate on those exceeding $1,000,000, this decision greatly
increased the aggregate amount of the taxation. The executors
protested on the grounds (1) that the provisions of the act were
unconstitutional; (2) that legacies amounting to less than $10,000
were not subject to any tax or duty; (3) that a legacy of $100,000,
taxed at the rate of $2.25 per $100, was only subject to the rate of
$1.12£. Demand having been made by the collector for payment,
payment was made under protest, and, after the Commissioner of
Interna) Revenue had refused to refund any of it, the executors
commenced suit to recover the amount so paid. The circuit court
sustained a demurrer upon the ground that no cause of action was
alleged, and dismissed the suit, which was then brought here by
writ of error. Held:

(1) That the statute clearly imposes the duty on the particular
legacies or distributive shares, and not on the whole personal
estate;

(2) That it makes the rate of the tax depend upon the character
of the links connecting those taking with the deceased, being
primarily determined by the classifications, and progressively
increased according to the amount of the legacies or shares;

(3) That the court below erred in denying all relief, and that it
should have held the plaintiffs entitled to recover so much of the
tax as resulted from taxing legacies not exceeding $10,000, and
from increasing the tax rate with reference to the whole amount
of the personal estate of the deceased from which the legacies or
distributive shares were derived.

Death duties were established by the Soman and ancient law,
and by the modern laws of France, Germany, and other con-
tinental countries, England and her colonies, and an examination
of all shows that tax laws of this nature rest in their essence
upon the principle that death is the generating source from which
the particular taxing power takes its being, and that it is the
power to transmit or the transmission from the dead to the living
on which such taxes are more immediately vested.

When a particular construction of a statute will occasion great
inconvenience or produce inequality and injustice, that view is
not to be favored if another and more reasonable interpretation
is present in the statute.

The provision in section 8 of Article I of the Constitution, that
"all duties, imports, and excises shall be uniform throughout the
United States, refers purely to a geographical uniformity, and is
synonymous with the expression "to operate generally through-
out the United States."

The statute considered in this case embraces the District of
Columbia.

High v. Coyne. (178 U. S., 111.)

This case involved substantially the same questions as Knowlton v.
Moore, and was argued, submitted, and decided at the same time.

20 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

Fidelity Trust and Safe Deposit Company v. McLain. (178 U. S., 113.)

This case also was argued, submitted, and decided along with Knowl-
ton v. Moore and High v. Coyne, and upon the same lines.

Murdock v. Ward. (178 U. S., 139.)

In this case, in addition to the questions decided in Knowlton v.
Moore, the court held that the portion of a legacy invested in United
States bonds is not exempt from the Federal legacy tax, thus applying
to the Federal legacy tax the same principles which in Plummer v.
Coler(l78 U. S., 115) are applied to the State inheritance tax of New
York.

Sherman v. The United States. (178 XJ. S., 150.)

The rules laid down in Knowlton v. Moore and Murdock v. Ward
are followed and applied in this case.

Boske v. Comingore. ( 177 XJ. S., 459.)

This was an appeal from a final order of the district court of the
United States for the district of Kentucky, in a habeas corpus pro-
ceeding, discharging Comingore, collector of internal revenue for
the Sixth district of Kentucky, from the custody of the appellant, as
sheriff of Kenton County. Comingore, the collector, had been adjudged
in contempt of court for refusing, while giving his deposition in a case
pending in the State court, to file with his deposition copies of certain
reports made by distillers which were in his custody as an officer of
the Treasury Department, and sentenced to be confined in the county
jail until he furnished the reports called for. The questions raised
and decided are stated in the syllabus, which is as follows:

A United States collector of internal revenue was adjudged by
a court of limited jurisdiction in Kentucky to be in contempt
because he refused, while giving his deposition in a case pending
in the State court, to file copies of certain reports made by dis-
tillers, and which reports were in his custody as a subordinate
officer of the Treasury Department. He based his refusal upon a
regulation of that Department which provided:

" All records in the office of collectors of internal revenue or
of any of their deputies are in their custody and control for pur-
poses relating to the collection of revenues of the United States
only. They have no control of them and no discretion with
regard to permitting the use of them for any other purpose."
This regulation was made by the Secretary of the Treasury under
the authority conferred upon him by section 161 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, which authorized that officer, as
the head of an executive department of the Government, u to

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 21

prescribe regulations, not inconsistent with law, for the govern-
ment of his department, the conduct of its officers and clerks,
the distribution and performance of its business, and the custody,
use, and preservation of the records, papers, and property apper-
taining to it. " The collector having been arrested under the order
of the State authorities sued out a writ of habeas corpus before
the district court of the United States for the Kentucky district.
Held:

(1) That the case was properly brought directly from the dis-
trict court to this court as one involving the construction or appli-
cation of the Constitution of the United States.

(2) As the petitioner was an officer in the revenue service of the
United States whose presence at his post of duty was important
to the public interests, and whose detention in prison by the State
authorities might have interfered with the regular and orderly
course of the business of the department to which he belonged, it
was proper for the district court to consider the questions raised
by the writ of habeas corpus and to discharge the petitioner if held
in violation of the Constitution and laws of the United States.

(3) The regulation adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury
was authorized by section 161 of the Revised Statutes, and that
section was consistent with the Constitution of the United States.
To invest the Secretary with authority to prescribe regulations
not inconsistent with law for the conduct of the business of his
Department and to provide for the custody, use, and preservation
of the records, papers, and property appertaining to it, was a
means appropriate and plainly adapted to the successful adminis-
tration of the affairs of his Department; and it was competent for
him to forbid his subordinates to allow the use of official papers in
their custody except for the purpose of aiding the collection of
the revenues of the United States.

(4) In determining whether the regulation in question was valid,
the court proceeded upon the ground that it was not to be deemed
invalid unless it was plainly and palpably against law.

Motes v. The United States. (178 TJ. S., 458.)

Motes and others were indicted and convicted in the circuit court of
the United States for the northern district of Alabama for having, in
furtherance of a conspiracy to deprive a citizen of that State of a right
or privilege secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States,
committed the crime of murder. This was a proceeding to reverse
the judgment of conviction. Several interesting questions are raised
and decided and are stated in the syllabus, which is as follows:

By the Revised Statutes of the United States it is provided:
" Sec. 5508. If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress,
threaten, or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoy-
ment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution
or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised
the same; or if two or more persons go in disguise on the high-
way, or on the premises of another, with the intent to prevent or
hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege, *>q>

22 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

secured, they shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars
and imprisoned not more than ten years; and shall, moreover, be
thereafter ineligible to any office or place of honor, profit, or
trust created by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
" Sec. 5509. If in the act of violating any provision in either of
the two preceding sections any other felony or misdemeanor be
committed, the offender shall be punished for the same with such

1)unishment as is attached to such felony or misdemeanor by the
aws of the State in which the offense is committed."

Several persons were indicted under the above provisions in the
circuit court of the United States for the northern district of Ala-
bama for the crime of murder committed in execution of a conspir-
acy to injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate one Thompson
because 01 his having informed the United States authorities of
violations by the conspirators of the laws of the United States
relating to distilling. In Alabama murder in the first degree is
punishable by death or imprisonment for life, at the discretion of
the jury. At the preliminary trial before a United States com-
missioner, Taylor, one of the accused, testified, and his evidence
was put in writing and signed by him. It was sufficient, if accepted,
to establish the guilt of all the defendants. The accusea had
opportunity to cross-examine him. At the final trial in the cir-
cuit court, Taylor, who had pleaded guilty, was called as a wit-
ness for the Government, but did not respond. He had disap-
peared, although seen in the corridor of the court building about
an hour before being called. His absence was not by the procure-
ment or advice of the accused, but was due to the negligence of
the officers of the Government. The court, over the objections
of the accused, allowed Taylor's written statements, made under
oath at the examining trial, to be read in evidence to the trial jury.
The accused were found guilty as charged in the indictment, and
sentenced to the penitentiary for life. At the trial one of the
accused testified and stated that he and Taylor committed the
murder, and that the other defendants knew nothing of it and had
nothing to do with it. Held:

(1) That no constitutional objection could be urged against sec-
tions 5508 and 5509;

(2)That under the act of January 15, 1897, c. 29, 29 Stat., 487,
the circuit court could not have imposed the penalty of death for
the offense charged, but only imprisonment for life;

(3) That under the circuit court of appeals act, 1891, any crim-
inal case involving the construction or application of the Consti-
tution of the United States can be brought, after final judgment,
directly to this court from the circuit court;

(4) That the admission as evidence of the written statements
made by Taylor at the examining trial was in violation of the
rights of the accused under the clause of the sixth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States, declaring that in all criminal
prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to be confronted
with the witness against him;

(5) That the defendant who testified under oath as to his guilt,
and whose testimony was sufficient to convict him independently
of Taylor's written statement at the examining trial, was not
entitled to a reversal for the error committed in allowing that
statement to be read, because it could not have prejudiced him.

Dewey v. The United States. (178 U. S., 510.)

The original suit was brought in the Court of Claims to recover
bounty money earned by the plaintiff in error as the commanding officer
of the American fleet at the battle of Manila on May 1, 1898. In fixing
the amount of the bounty it was necessary for the court below to
determine whether the Spanish vessels engaged at Manila were of supe-
rior or inferior force to the American fleet, and to determine, as matter
of law, whether, in determining the relative strength of the two fleets,
the land batteries and mines and torpedoes of the Spanish should be
taken into consideration in arriving at the strength of the Spanish fleet.
The Court of Claims held that the land batteries and mines and torpe-
does should not be considered in determining the question whether the
Spanish forces were of superior or inferior force, and found them to be
inferior to the American vessels. The Supreme Court affirmed this
judgment. The syllabus of the case is as follows:

In this case it was rightly decided in the court below that in
determining under the provisions of Kevised Statutes, section 902,
whether the Spanish vessels sunk or destroyed at Manila were of
inferior or superior force to the American vessels engaged in that
battle, the land batteries, mines, and torpedoes, not controlled by
those in charge of the Spanish vessels, but which supported those
vessels, were to be excluded altogether from consideration, and
that the size and armaments of the vessels sunk or destroyed,
together with the number of men upon them, were alone to be
regarded in determining the amount of the bounty to be awarded.

PRIZE GASES.

The Pedro. (175 U. S., 354.)

This was a Spanish vessel engaged with other vessels of the same
line in regular trade from European to Cuban ports to discharge,
thence to the United States in ballast for return cargoes. She was
captured on April 22, 1898, about 12 miles from Havana on her way
from that port to other Cuban ports to discharge the balance of her
cargo, and thence to proceed to Pensacola, Fla., without cargo, to load
for European destination. She was condemned below, and this judg-
ment was affirmed by the Supreme Court.

It was contended by claimants that the Pedro, although an enemy's
vessel, was exempted from capture by the terms of the Executive
proclamation of April 26, 1898; but the majority of the court held
that she did not come within either the fourth article of the prolama-
tion allowing certain Spanish merchant vessels in any ports or places
within the United States until May 21, 1898, to load their cargoes and
depart; nor within the fifth article permitting Spanish merchant ves-
sels which, prior to April 21, 1898, had sailed from a foreign. t^\**

24 BEP0BT OF THE ATTOBNEY-GENEBAL.

bound to a port of the United States to enter such port to discharge
and afterwards to depart without molestation, because the fact that
the Pedro was actually trading from one enemy port to another when
captured, and that the ultimate destination to the United States was
merely for a return cargo, withheld from her this exemption. The
syllabus follows:

On the 20th of April, 1898, a joint resolution of Congress was
approved by the President, declaring that the people of Cuba are,
and of right ought to be, free and independent. On the same day
the minister of Spain at Washington demanded his passport, and
the diplomatic relations of Spain with the United States were ter-
minated. On the 22d of the same April a blockade of a part of the
coast of Cuba was instituted. On tne 23d of the same month, in a
proclamation of the Queen Regent of Spain, it was declared that
a state of war was existing between Spam and the United States.
On the 26th of the same month the President issued a proclamation
declaring that a state of war existed between the United States and
Spain, the fourth and fifth articles of which proclamation were as
follows:

"4. Spanish merchant vessels in any ports or places within the
United States shall be allowed till May 21, 1898, inclusive, for
loading their cargoes and departing from such ports or places;
and such Spanish merchant vessels, if met at sea by any United
States ship, shall be permitted to continue their voyage if, on
examination of their papers, it shall appear that their cargoes were
taken on board before the expiration of the above term: Pro-
vided, That nothing herein contained shall apply to the Spanish
vessels having on board any officers in the military or naval service
of the enemy, or any coal (except such as may be necessary for
their voyage), or any other article prohibited or contraband of
war, or any dispatch of or to the Spanish Government.

5. "Any Spanish merchant vessel which, prior to April 21, 1898,
shall have sailed from any foreign port bound for any port or place
in the United States, shall be permitted to enter such port or place
and to discharge her cargo, and afterwards forthwith to depart with-
out molestation; and any such vessel, if met at sea by any United
States ship, shall be permitted to continue her voyage to any port
not blockaded."

The Pedro was built in England, sailed under the British flag
till 1887, and then was transferred to a Spanish corporation and
sailed under the Spanish flag. Sailing from Antwerp she arrived
at Havana with a cargo April 17, 1898. She remained there five
days, discharged her cargo, and left for Santiago April 22. At 6
o'clock on that evening, when about 15 miles east of the Morro and
5 miles north of the Cuban coast, she was captured by the New
York, of the blockading fleet, sent to Key West, and there libeled
and condemned.

Held,

(1) That the language of the proclamation was plain, and not
open to interpretation;

(2) That the Pedro did not come within article 4 of the procla-
mation; nor within article 5; nor within the reasons usually
assigned for exemption from capture;

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 25

(3) That it must be assumed that she was advised of the strained
relations between the United States and Spain;

(4) That being owned by a Spanish corporation, having a Spanish
registry, and sailing under a Spanish flag and a Spanish license,
and being officered and manned by Spaniards, she must be deemed
to be a Spanish ship, although she was insured against risks of
war by British underwriters — that fact being immaterial.

The Guido. (175 TJ. S., 382.)

The facts in the case of the Guido are almost identical with those in
the case of the Pedro, and the opinion of the majority of the court,
affirming the condemnation below, proceeded upon the same ground.
The syllabus is as follows:

This was an appeal from a decree condemning the Ghiido as
prize of war. On the facts, concisely stated in the opinion of the
court, it is held, following The Pedro, ante 355, that the case was
properly disposed of below.

The Buena Ventura. (175 TJ. S., 384.)

This enemy's vessel cleared on the 16th and sailed on the 19th of
April, 1898, from a port of the United States with a cargo of lumber
for Rotterdam, Holland, and was captured on the 22d of that month
in the Florida straits, between Key West and Cuba. She was con-
demned in the court below on the ground that being enemy property
captured upon the high seas she did not come within any of the pro-
tective exceptions of the Executive proclamation of April 26, 1898.
She bore from our customs authorities, with a coastwise as well as
foreign manifest, a permit to touch at Newport News for coal.

The majority of the court held that, although in ascertaining the
intent of such an instrument as the Executive proclamation, we must
look to the words used, which may end the matter if the meaning is
not open to discussion, nevertheless where construction must be
resorted to, such a public instrument should receive a liberal interpre-
tation; and it is found on this view that the Buena Ventura may fairly
be regarded as within the fourth article of the proclamation. The
opinion suggests that possibly the construction adopted is in advance
of any previous adjudications on the subject, and continues:

Where, however, the words are reasonably capable of an inter-
pretation which shall include a vessel of this description in the
exemption from capture, we are not averse to adopting it, even
though this court may be the first to do so. If the Executive
should hereafter be inclined to take the other view, the language
of his proclamation could be so altered as to leave no doubt of
that intention, and it would be the duty of this court to be guided
and controlled by it.

26 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

The syllabus:

In the fourth clause of the President's proclamation of April
26, 1898, issued after the declaration of war against Spain by Con-
gress, April 25, 1898, it was said:

a 4. Spanish merchant vessels in any ports or places within the
United States shall be allowed till May 21, 1898, inclusive, for
loading their cargoes and departing from such ports or places,
and such Spanish merchant vessels, if met at sea by any United
States ship, shall be permitted to continue their voyage if, on
examination of their papers, it shall appear that their cargoes
were taken on board before the expiration of the above term:
Provided, That nothing herein contained shall apply to Spanish
Vessels having on board any officer in the military or naval service
of the enemy, or any coal (except such as may be necessary for
their voyage), or any other article prohibited or contraband of
war, or any dispatch of or to the Spanish Government."

The Buena Ventura, a Spanish vessel, being at Cuba in March,
1898, was chartered to proceed with all convenient speed to Ship
Island, Mississippi, and there to take on board a cargo of lumber
for Rotterdam. Under this charter she arrived at Ship Island in
the latter part of March, 1898, and took on a cargo of lumber for
Rotterdam. She cleared at the custom-house on the 14th of April
accordingly, but was detained by low water until April 19, when,
between 8 and 9 a. m., she proceeded on her voyage. While so
proceeding she was captured by a man-of-war of the United States
about 10 miles off the Florida coast. Up to the moment of cap-
ture all her officers were ignorant of the existence of a state of
war, and the vessel, at the time of her capture, was following the
ordinary course of her voyage. After hearing in the district
court or the United States t\i& Buena Ventura was condemned and
sold under a decree of court, and the proceeds were deposited to
abide the event of an appeal from that decree. Held:

(1) That an innocent vessel like the Buena Ventura, which had
loaded within a port of the United States, and had sailed there-
from before the commencement of the war, was entitled, under
the proclamation, to continue its voyage, that being clearly within
the intention of the President, under the liberal construction which
this court is bound to give to that document;

(2) That the reversal of the judgment below, condemning the
Buena Ventura, should be without costs or damages in her favor;

(3) That the moneys arising from the sale of the vessel must be
paid to the claimant, deducting only the expenses properly inci-
dent to her custody and preservation up to the time of sale.

The Paquete Habana; The Lola. (175 TJ. S., 677.)

These are the test cases selected to determine whether fishing vessels
of the enemy are liable to capture as prize of war.

The argument on behalf of the Government undertook to show that,
while by express allowance of the sovereign or executive in the past,
small fishing boats of the enemy near their own coasts were exempted
on humane grounds and sometimes because they supplied subsistence

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 27

to the belligerent's own vessels on blockade duty, larger vessels of
the types here involved ought not to be exempted, and were not in
fact exempted under any well-established rule of international law,
unless by express executive ordinance. On this view the court below
condemned these vessels; but the majority of the Supreme Court took
the other view and found, after an exhaustive review of the authori-
ties, especially in international law and under the recent practice of
nations, including the course of this Government during the Mexican
war, that the exemption of such vessels had become an established rule
of prize law, and, in effect, that an affirmative executive order would
be necessary to justify capture. In consequence, it was held that the
seizure was without probable cause, and restitution to the claimants
was ordered, with damages and costs. The dissenting opinion expressed
the contrary view that the vessels were not exempt as matter of law,
and stated that —

The rule is that exemption from the rigors of war is in the con-
trol of the Executive. He is bound by no immutable rule on the
subject. It is for him to apply, or modify, or to deny altogether
such immunity as may have been usually extended.

It may be added that the question whether under the allowance of
damages the Government or the naval captors individually are respon-
sible is still pending in the district court.

The following is the syllabus:

Under the act of Congress of March 3, 1891, chapter 517, this
court has jurisdiction of appeals from all final sentences and decrees
in prize causes, without regard to the amount in dispute and with-
out any certificate of the district judge as to the importance of the
particular case.

International law is part of our law, and must be ascertained
and administered by the courts of justice of appropriate jurisdic-
tion as often as questions of right depending upon it are duly pre-
sented for their determination. For this purpose, where there is
no treaty and no controlling executive or legislative act or judicial
decision, resort must be had to the customs and usages of civilized
nations, and, as evidence of these, to the works of jurists and
commentators, not for the speculations of their authors concern-
ing what the law ought to be, but for trustworthy evidence of what
the law really is.

At the present day, by the general consent of the civilized
nations of the world and independently of any express treaty or
other public act, it is an established rule of international law that
coast nshing vessels, with their implements and supplies, cargoes
and crews, unarmed, and honestly pursuing their peaceful calling
of catching and bringing in fresh fish, are exempt from capture as
prize of war; and this rule is one which prize courts, administer-
ing the law of nations, are bound to take judicial notice of and to
give effect to in the absence of any treaty or other public act of
their own government in relation to the matter.

28 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

At the breaking out of the recent war with Spain, two fishing
smacks — the one a sloop, 43 feet long on the keel and of 25 tons
burden, and with a crew of three men, and the other a schooner,
51 feet long on the keel and of 35 tons burden, and with a crew
of six men — were regularly engaged in fishing on the coast of
Cuba, sailing under the Spanish nag, and each owned by a Spanish
subject residing in Havana; her crew, who also resided there, had
no interest in the vessel, but were entitled to shares, amounting in
all to two-thirds of her catch, the other third belonging toiler
owner; and her cargo consisted of fresh fish, caught by her crew
from the sea, put on board as they were caught, and kept and sold
alive. Each vessel left Havana on a coast fishing voyage and sailed
along the coast of Cuba about 200 miles to the west end of the
island; the sloop there fished for twenty -five days in the territorial
waters of Spain; and the schooner extended her fishing trip a hun-
dred miles farther across the Yucatan Channel, and fished for
eight days on the coast of Yucatan. On her return, with her
cargo of live fish, along the coast of Cuba, and when near
Havana, each was captured by one of the United States blockad-
ing squadron. Neither fishing vessel had any guns or ammuni-
tion on board; had any knowledge of the blockade, or even of the
war, until she was stopped by a blockading vessel; made any
attempt to run the blockade, or any resistance at the time of her
capture; nor was there any evidence that she, or her crew, was
likely to aid the enemy. Held, that both captures were unlawful,
and without probable cause.

The Newfoundland. (176 TJ. S., 97.)

The Newfoundland was a British steamer, seized on July 19, 1898,
off Havana for attempting to violate the blockade. Highly suspicious
circumstances affecting the vessel and her course along the Cuban
coast were shown, especially loitering and hovering about in the
neighborhood of Havana, which led the district court to enter a decree
of condemnation. This decree the Supreme Court, however, reversed
on the ground that the proof offered on behalf of the Government was
not adequate; that a more definite demonstration of intention and
attempt to break the blockade must appear; and that, while the record
raises doubts and suspicions and makes probable cause for the capture
of the ship and justifies her captors, it does not sustain a forfeiture.
Accordingly the syllabus holds —

The question in this case is as to the adequacy of the proof
offered on behalf of the Government and the captors to show that
the Newfoundland was trying to violate the blockade of Havana,
and the court is of opinion that it does not attain to that degree
which affords a reasonable assurance of the justice of the sentence
of forfeiture in the court below; that it raises doubts and sus-
picions and makes probable cause for the capture of the ship and
justification of her captors, but not forfeiture.

EEPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 29

The Adula (176 U. S., 361).

The Adula was an English vessel which had been chartered to a
Spaniard during the Spanish war, and sailed from Kingston, Jamaica
for Guantanamo, Cuba, among other Cuban ports, and was there
seized for breach of the blockade de facto established at Guantanamo by
direction of the admiral commanding in those waters. The case was
carefully argued and considered on a voluminous record in the prize
court, and the vessel condemned. It was so argued and considered in
the Supreme Court, and the condemnation affirmed, four of the justices
dissenting. The claimants thereupon filed a petition for rehearing,
which was denied, and have now made application to the Executive
for restitution as an act of clemency or grace. This latter application
is not yet determined.

The claimant relied in part upon an asserted intention of humane
motive, namely, to bring away refugees, and the purpose to obtain
permission of the blockading fleet to enter the Cuban ports. The
majority of the court, however, finding that Guantanamo was actually
and effectively blockaded, held that the owner and charterer of the
Adula were duly warned by the American consul at Kingston not to
let the vessel go on the trip in question, and that —

While the mission of the Adula was not an unfriendly one to
this Government, she was not a cartel ship privileged from capture
as such, but one employed in a commercial enterprise for the
personal profit of the charterer, and only secondarily, if at all, for
the purpose of humanity. Her enterprise was an unlawful one,
in case a blockade existed, and both Solis and the master of the
Adula were cognizant of this fact.

The syllabus follows:

A legal blockade may be established by a naval officer acting
upon his own discretion, or under direction of superiors, without
governmental notification.

In view of the operations being carried on for the purpose of
destroying or capturing the Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba and
the reduction of that place, it was competent for the admiral com-
manding the squadron to establish a blockade there and at Guan-
tanamo as an adjunct to such operations, and such blockade was
valid as against all vessels having notice thereof. It appearing
that Guantanamo was 18 miles from the mouth of Guantanamo
Bay and was still occupied by the enemy, held, that although the
American troops occupied the mouth of the bay, the blockade was
still operative as to vessels bound to the city of Guantanamo.

The legal effect of a lawful and sufficient blockade is a closing
of the port and an interdiction of the entrance of all vessels of
whatever nationality or business.

The sailing of a vessel with a premeditated intent to violate
a blockade is ipso facto a violation of the blockade, and renders
her subject to capture from the moment she leaves the port of
departure.

30 EEPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

If a master has actual notice of a blockade, he is not at liberty
even to approach the blockaded port for the purpose of making
inquiries.

If a neutral vessel be chartered to an enemy, she becomes to a
certain extent and pro hoc vice an enemy's vessel, and a notice to
her charterer of the existence of a blockade is a notice to the
vessel.

It appearing in this case that both the charterer and the vessel
had been previously engaged in bringing away refugees from
Cuba, and were chargeable with notice of the military and naval
operations against that island, that such facts were of common
knowledge at the port from which she sailed, and that intercourse
with Cuban ports was dangerous; and it appearing from a pre-
ponderance of evidence that both the charterer and master 01 the
vessel had knowledge of the blockade: Held, that the vessel was
properly condemned.

If an examination of the ship's papers and the testimony of the
crew, taken in prepwratorio, make a case for condemnation, an
order for further proof is only made where the interests of justice
clearly require it: Held^ in this case that there was no error in
denying the motion of the claimant for further proofs.

The Panama. (176 TJ. S., 535.)

This vessel sailed from New York for Havana with a general cargo
on April 20, 1898, and was captured on the 25th while approaching
that port. She was condemned in the court below on the ground that,
since by the act of Congress of April 25, 1898, and by the Executive
proclamation on the succeeding day, it was determined that the war
with Spain began on April 21, including that day, all Spanish prop-
erty afloat captured from that time became liable to condemnation, and
that this vessel was not exempt under any provision of the Executive
proclamation.

The majority of the Supreme Court affirmed the condemnation and
found that the Panama was not entitled to the exemption of article 4
of the proclamation because, being under a contract with the Spanish
Government, which attached her provisionally to the naval reserve,
she carried an armament susceptible of use for hostile purposes, and
was liable, upon arrival at the enemy port of destination, to be appro-
priated for such purposes. This decision and the other points involved
are shown by the syllabus, as follows:

No general rule of international law exempts mail ships from
capture as prize of war.

A Spanisn mail steamship carrying mail of the United States
from New York to Havana at the time of the breaking out of the
recent war with Spain was not exempt from capture by the sixth
clause of the President's proclamation of April 26, 1898.

At the time of the breaking out of the recent war with Spain
a Spanish mail steamship was on a voyage from New York to
Havana, carrying a general cargo, passengers, and mails, and

having mounted on board two breech-loading Hontoria guns of
9-centimetre bore, and one Maxim rapid-firing gun, and having
also on board twenty Remington rifles and ten Mauser rifles, with
ammunition for all the guns and rifles, and thirty or forty cut-
lasses. Her armament had been put on board more than a year
before, for her own defense, as required by her owner's mail con-
tract with the Spanish Government, which also provided that, in
case of war, that Government might take possession of the vessel,
with her equipment, increase her armament, and use her as a war
vessel, and, in these and other provisions, contemplated her use
for hostile purposes in time of war. Held, that she was not
exempt from capture as prize of war by the fourth clause of the
President's proclamation of April 26, 1898.

The Benito Estenger. (176 TJ. S., 568.)

The Benito Estenger was a Spanish vessel, but was sailing under the
English flag after transfer from the Spanish owner to the neutral, and
was captured off Cape Cruz, on the south coast of Cuba, at the end of
June, 1898. She was condemned in the court below as enemy prop-
erty, and that condemnation was affirmed by the Supreme Court, three
justices, however, dissenting, the opinion resting the condemnation
also on the ground that, although there was.no breach of blockade
duly established, the vessel had been engaged in illicit intercourse
with the enemy after warning given. The transfer to the neutral was
found to be merely colorable, and the claimant's charterer, the former
or rather the real owner to be, a Cuban subject of Spain, although he
claimed to be an adherent of the insurgent cause, and therefore an ally
of the United States rather than a loyal subject of Spain. The court
found little to support this claim, and applied the general doctrine that
in time of war citizens or subjects of the belligerents are enemies to
each other without regard to individual sentiments or dispositions.
Upon this point the owner of the Benito Estenger has now addressed a
petition to the Executive for restitution, which has not yet been
determined.

The syllabus states:

The general rule is that in time of war the citizens or subjects
of the belligerents are enemies to each other without regard to
individual sentiments or dispositions, and that political status
determines the question of enemy ownership.

By the law of prize, property engaged in any illegal intercourse
with the enemy is deemed enemy property, whether belonging to
an ally or a citizen, as the illegal traffic stomps it with the nostile
character and attaches to it all the penal consequences.

Provisions are not, in general, deemed contraband; but they
may become so if destined for the army or navy of the enemy, or
his ports of naval or military equipment.

In dealing with a vessel asserted to be an enemy vessel, the fact
of trade with the enemy in supplies necessary for the enemy's
forces is of decisive importance.

Individual acts of friendship can not chau^, -^o>\&AR»k. ^\s£«^

32 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

where there is no open adherence to the opposite cause and former
allegiance remains apparently unchanged.

A consul has no authority by reason of his official station to
grant exemption from capture to an enemy vessel, and this vessel
was not entitled to protection by reason of any engagement with
the United States.

In cases of peculiar hardship, or calling for liberal treatment,
it is not for the courts, but for another department of the Gov-
ernment, to extend such amelioration as the particular instance
mav demand.

Transfers of vessels flagrante hello can not be sustained if sub-
jected to any condition by which the vendor retains an interest in
the vessel or its profits, a control over it, or a right to its restora-
tion at the close of the war.

The burden of proof in respect of the validity of such transfers
is on the claimant, and the court holds as to the transfer in this
case that the requirements of the law of prize were not satisfied
by the proofs.

The Carlos F. Roses. (177 TJ. S., 655.)

The Carlos f. Roses was a Spanish bark and was proceeding from
Montevideo, where her outward cargo from Spain had been dis-
charged, to Havana, with a cargo of jerked beef and garlic, when on
May 17, 1898, she was captured in the Bahama Channel. She was
duly condemned as enemy property and no appeal was taken from
that judgment. But neutral bankers claimed the cargo on the ground
that they had made advances upon the security of the bills of lading
indorsed in blank, and were wholly unindemnified except through
insurers who would be subrogated to their own rights. Their claim
was allowed in the court below; but the majority of the Supreme Court
found that the face of the papers and the transactions so far as they
were shown presented evidence of an enemy interest which called upon
the asserted neutral owners to prove beyond question their right and
title, which they had not sufficiently done within the rules and require-
ments established by the authorities reviewed.

The decree of the lower court was reversed and a decree of condem-
nation was entered. The court adverted to the fact (without deciding
the question) that provisions by the modern law of nations may become
contraband although belonging to a neutral, on account of the particu-
lar situation of the war or on account of their destination, as for
military use at ports of naval or military equipment, and that in this
instance the concentration and accumulation of provisions at Havana
might be considered a necessary part of Spanish military operations
imminente hello, and these particular provisions as especially appro-
priate for Spanish military use.

The syllabus is:

The Carlos F. Roses, a Spanish vessel, owned at Barcelona,
Spain, sailed from that port for Montevideo, Uruguay, with ^

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 33

cargo which was discharged there and a cargo of jerked beef and
garlic taken on board for Havana, for which she sailed March 16,
1898. On May 17, while proceeding to Havana, she was captured
by a vessel of the United States and sent to Key West, where she
was libeled. A British company doing business in London laid
claim to the cargo on the ground that they had advanced money
for its purchase to a citizen of Montevideo, and had received bills
of lading covering the shipments. The vessel was condemned as
enemy's property, hut the proceeds of the cargo, which had been
ordered to be sold as perishable property, was ordered to be paid
to the claimants. Held,

(1) That as the vessel was an enemy vessel, the presumption
was that the cargo was enemy's property, and this could only be
overcome by clear and positive evidence to the contrary;

(2) That on the face of the papers given in evidence, it must be

E resumed that when these goods were delivered to the vessel, they
ecame the property of the consignors named in the invoices;

(3) That the British company got the legal title to the goods
and the right of possession only if such were the intention of the
parties, and that that intention was open to explanation, although
the persons holding the papers might have innocently paid value
for them;

(4) That in prize courts it is necessary for the claimants to show
the absence of anything to impeach the transaction, and at least
to disclose fully all the surrounding circumstances, and that the
claimant had failed to do so;

(5) That the right of capture acts on the proprietary interest of
the thing captured at the time of the capture, and is not affected
by the secret liens or private engagements of the parties;

(6) That in this case the belligerent right overrides the neutral
claim, which must be regarded merely as a debt and the assign-
ment as a cover to an enemy interest.

United States v. Mrs. Gue Lim. (176 U. S., 459.)

In this case the question was raised whether a wife, or minor chil-
dren, of Chinese merchants who are already domiciled in this country,
may enter the United States without the certificates prescribed by sec-
tion 6 of the act of July 5, 1884. The court held that a certificate is
not necessary in either case, resting the decision upon the following
interpretation of the law:

To hold that a certificate is required in this case is to decide that
the woman can not come into the country at all, for it is not pos-
sible for her to comply with the act, because she can not in any
event procure the certificate even by returning to China. She
must come in as the wife of her domiciled husband or not at all.
The act was never meant to accomplish the result of permanently
excluding the wife under the circumstances of this case, and we
think that, properly and reasonably construed, it does not do so.
If we hold that she is entitled to come in as the wife, because the

H. Doc. 9 3

34 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

true construction of the treaty and the act permits it, there is no
provision which makes the certificate the only proof of the fact
that she is such wife. In the case of the minor children the same
result must follow as in that of the wife.

The syllabus is:

iTnder the act of July 5, 1884, chapter 220 (23 Stat, 115), con-
strued in connection with the treaty with China of November 17,
1880 (22 Stat., 826), the wives and minor children of Chinese
merchants domiciled in this country may enter the United States
without certificates.

BUSINESS IN OTHER COURTS.

The business of the Department conducted in the Court of Claims
and in the Court of Private Land Claims is showq in detail in the
reports of Assistant Attorney-General Pradt, Assistant Attorney-
General Thompson, and United States Attorney Matt. G. Reynolds.
The same promptness and efficiency that have distinguished the con-
duct of the different branches of business under the charge of these
gentlemen, respectively, during former years have been maintained
during the past year. The business of their respective branches is
well in hand, and no litigant has just cause of complaint by reason of
any delay interposed by the attorneys for the Government.

NEW DEPARTMENT BUILDING.

In my last annual report I informed Congress of the selection of an
architect and the approval of a plan for the new building for the
Department of Justice, provided for by act of March 3, 1899. In that
report I stated that it was probable that on account of the extraordi-
nary increase in the cost of building materials and labor it would be
impossible to complete a building of the design selected with the money
authorized by the original appropriation, and that an additional appro-
priation would be necessary. Subsequently to the date of my report
I advertised for and received bids for the construction of the building
according to the proposed design. These bids verified the prediction
I had made, and disclosed the fact that a very substantial increase of
the appropriation would be necessary if the building were to be of the
capacity and style contemplated at the time the act was passed, and in
dignity and finish worthy of the objects for which the structure is
intended.

To construct a building of the size required and of the design pro-
vided for within the present appropriation would require the use of
materials so cheap and common as to render the building a blemish
rather than an ornament to the national capital. It would be neces-
sary, instead of constructing the outside walls of the building of mar-

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 35

ble, as is proposed, to construct them of terra cotta, and the interior,
which, according to the present plans and specifications, is to be of
a style and finish which would render it an object of beauty and of
general interest, would need to be constructed on the plane of an ordi-
nary cheap office building. I have the honor, therefore, to renew my
recommendation for the increase of the limit and an additional appro-
priation which will enable the Department to erect and furnish a build-
ing of the material and in the style provided for by the architect's
plans and specifications. It is my purpose to secure new bids for the
work, which I shall hereafter submit to Congress as a basis for such
further appropriation.

PACIFIC RAILROAD MATTERS.

On September 19, 1900, 1 received an additional dividend of $132,-
942.89 on account of the deficiency due the United States on account
of the subsidy debt of the Kansas Pacific branch. The case against
the American Loan and Trust Company, of Boston, as trustee, the
object of which is to secure on account of said deficiency claim certain
moneys in the hands of the trust company, which are the proceeds of
securities mortgaged for the benefit and further security of first-
mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific Railway, and for the benefit,
protection, and further security of the United States in respect to
their subsidy bonds and interest thereon, is still undisposed of. It is
my expectation that ultimately the Government will receive an addi-
tional dividend from this source.

The total sum heretofore paid or secured to be paid to the United
States on account of Pacific Railway subsidy claims since November 1,
1897, is $124,554,550.84.

UNITED STATES PRISONERS.

Exhibit J, with this report, shows where United States prisoners have
been confined during the year, the districts from which they were
received, the number from each district, and the total number in each
institution.

On July 1, 1899, there were 3,137 United States convicts in the
various prisons and reformatories of the country, as against 2,932 at
the close of the last fiscal year on June 30, 1900. Of the total number
in confinement at said last date, 902 were in the United States peni-
tentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., and 68 in the United States
penitentiary at McNeils Island, Wash. The remainder, 1,962, were in
the various State institutions made use of for the purpose.

UNITED STATES PENITENTIARY AT FORT LEAVENWORTH, KANS.

The fifth annual report of the warden accompanies this report as
Exhibit K. On June 30, 1899, there were 799 prisoners confined in
the institution. On the corresponding date in the present year 902

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 37

were in confinement, the maximum number which the prison can pos-
sibly accommodate.

The convicts have been chiefly employed in building the wall to
inclose the grounds of the new prison and on the foundation walls for
the new buildings.

The total expense of maintaining the institution during the year
ended June 30, 1900, has been $159,124.59, and the average daily cost
per capita about 55 cents. The average daily per capita cost of sub-
sistence alone was about 11 cents. The increase in expenditures over
last year is due to the large increase in the number of prisoners and
the increased cost of supplies.

The health of the inmates has been generally excellent, as shown by
the report of the penitentiary physician, due largely to the fact that
the prisoners have been employed in outdoor labor, on the farm, in
the quarry, and in the erection of the walls.

The prison farm has been very productive and the crops gathered,
and to be gathered, will add materially in furnishing subsistence for
the prisoners. .

THE NEW PENITENTIARY, FORT LEAVENWORTH, KANS.

Attention is invited to the report of the warden and superintendent
of construction, which shows the amount of work performed during
the year at the new prison site. When it is considered that this labor
has been performed by men without previous training in mechanical
pursuits, and in the face of many obstacles, among them the loss of
time consumed in the daily marches to and from the site, the results
are exceedingly gratifying.

As the work progresses, carried on almost wholly by the prisoners
themselves, it becomes evident that considerable time must elapse
before the new buildings, or any portion of them, can be completed
and ready for occupancy. So far it has been the practice to march
the prisoners from the old prison to the new site daily — a distance of
about 2i miles — where they are employed on the walls and in the
quarry or brickyard, and returned to their quarters after the day's
labors are ended. In this way a considerable portion of the working
day is lost in going to and fro, and this loss of time in marching and
on account of the frequent abandonment of work because of unfavor-
able weather is injurious in many ways and seriously interferes with
the proper discipline of the institution. It is therefore deemed neces-
sary and for the best interests of the Government that the original
plan of erecting this penitentiary shall be so far modified as to provide
for the erection by contract, as speedily as possible, of a cell wing,
with accommodations for at least a portion of the prisoners, with the
requisite additions for heating, lighting, dining rooms, etc. In this
way the prisoners engaged in the erection of the walls and building

38 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

can be housed and cared for on the grounds of the new prison, thus
voiding the danger involved in marching them to and fro, as is now
done, as well as loss of time and injury to discipline referred to
above.

It is estimated that it will require about $300,000 to complete the
buildings thus described. If this arrangement can be effected, the
erection of the remaining prison buildings, workshops, and wall can
then be readily accomplished by the prisoners themselves under the
superintendence of the officials.

The warden calls attention, in his report herewith (Exhibit K), to
the paramount necessity for the early completion of a cell wing as here
recommended, in order that the prisoners may be removed from the
old prison to the new at the earliest possible date, and states that if
this provision can be effected during the coming year it will be possi-
ble to remove the prisoners entirely to the new prison in 1902 and
to continue the work of construction by their help alone to final
completion.

The appropriation as requested is strongly urged. .

UNITED STATES PENITENTIARY AT ATLANTA, GA.

Since my last report the contract for the erection of a United States
penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., has been let, and the work is well under
way. The plans, as approved, contemplate the erection of a prison,
complete, as provided in the act, to consist of a cell house with accom-
modations for about 500 prisoners, administration building, dining
room, offices, steam and electric plant, etc. It has been ascertained
that this is probably the utmost which can be accomplished within the
limits of the present appropriation, but the plans are prepared with a
view to the addition at any time the Government may deem necessary
of an additional building large enough to afford accommodations alto-
gether for at least 1,200 convicts. It is expected that the buildings
now provided for will be completed by next summer and ready for
occupancy soon after.

The penitentiary will be modern in every respect, and will, it is
believed, embody in its construction the best and most enlightened
ideas relative to prison buildings. It will be necessary to provide for
the conduct and maintenance of the institution, and the proper legis-
lation to these ends has been suggested in the annual estimates sub-
mitted as provided by law.

UNITED STATES PENITENTIARY AT M'NEILS ISLAND, WASHINGTON.

This institution now contains 68 prisoners, employed chiefly in cut-
ting timber and other outdoor labor on the island. It can accommo-
date 150 inmates. The entire cost of maintenance for the year has

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 39

been $13,915.38, an average per capita of 65 cents per diem. The
average daily per capita cost of subsistence alone has been about 18
cents.

UNITED STATES JAIL, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

The report of the warden accompanies this report as Exhibit N.
The average daily number of prisoners during the year was 357. The
average cost of maintenance was 34& cents per capita per day, with 9
cents the average cost per capita % for subsistence alone. The jail is
well conducted, and is among the best in the country.

TREASURY CASES.

The report of the Solicitor of the Treasury shows the amount,
character, and results of the litigation conducted under his direction
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900. I have pleasure in indorsing
the recommendation made by the Solicitor in favor of an increased
appropriation for the purchase of law books for the library of the
Solicitor, which office, as Congress is aware, is not physically con-
nected with the Department of Justice, but is housed in the Treasury
building, where it is necessary for convenience and dispatch to have at
hand a full supply of books and legal literature in order to properly
and promptly advise and instruct the Treasury officials upon legal
questions arising in the course of the administration of their various
departments and bureaus.

I also call attention to the gratifying success which has attended the
litigation conducted on behalf of the United States during the past
year. Out of more than 3,000 cases decided, over 90 per cent were
adjudged in favor of the United States and less than 10 per cent
adversely.

I desire to approve and indorse likewise the recommendations made
by the Solicitor with reference to the compensation of certain of the
clerks in his bureau.

COMMISSION TO REVISE AND CODIFY THE CRIMINAL AND PENAL LAWS.

The report of the commission to revise and codify the criminal and
penal laws of the United States mentions the action of the Senate in
returning the revision previously submitted of those chapters of the
Revised Statutes relating to the organization and jurisdiction of the
courts of the United States, to the end that the commission might
consider communications from any bar associations that desired to be
heard on the proposed changes. The commissioners express their
desire for such suggestions, especially with reference to the reforma-
tion of procedure, and in the hope that they may be received they
have postponed the resubmission of that part of their work.

40 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The commissioners further report that they have substantially com-
pleted the revision of the criminal and penal laws. A bill has already
passed the House of Representatives providing for a revision of all
laws of a general and permanent nature, and as it would materially
affect their work, both as to the arrangement and otherwise, they have
postponed the completion of the codification of the criminal laws until
Congress shall have manifested its will in the premises. The report
calls attention to certain omissions or ambiguities in recent acts of
Congress that come within the purview of duties of the commission,
with the suggestion that Congress may deem it desirable to cure them
without delay.

CRIMINAL PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE.

In my report for the year 1899, 1 urged upon Congress the necessity
of providing, by suitable legislation, for an appeal on the part of the
Government in cases of decision adverse to the United States by the
courts upon demurrers interposed to indictments. Since that report
was written other instances have arisen emphasizing the necessity for
such a change in criminal procedure. One instance, among others,
will suffice to illustrate the importance of this subject. A criminal
information was filed in a United States district court against a person
charged with pasturing sheep on the Sierra Forest Reserve, in violation
of the act of June 4, 1897 (30 Stat, 35). There are about thirty cases
in that district involving the same question, but against different parties.
The defendant in the test case instituted filed a demurrer to the infor-
mation, which the court decided against the Government on mere
questions of law. Under the present procedure it is impossible for
the Government to have the decision of the district court reviewed,
although it is the opinion of the district attorney having charge of the
case and of the Attorney-General that the decision was erroneous and
ought to be reversed.

It is not conceived that such a law as is proposed would interfere in
any way with the constitutional rights of defendants, but would per-
mit the construction of statutes and of the Constitution in criminal
cases, where such construction is adverse to the Government, to be
submitted in regular course to the appellate courts, and to receive the
construction of those courts, a course which is quite as reasonable and
necessary in criminal cases as in cases involving mere property rights.

The report of the attorney in charge of pardons shows in sufficient
fullness and detail the record of the Department in that respect during
the past year, and no special comments thereon appear to be neces-
sary. The same may be said of the report of the librarian and of the
clerk in charge of the administration of the bankruptcy act.

The attention of Congress is called to the full and satisfactory
reports of the officers in charge of these various subjects and branches
and to the recommendations contained therein.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 41

REFORM SCHOOL, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

The report of the board of trustees of the Reform School of the
District of Columbia (Exhibit L) shows that at the beginning of the
last fiscal year there were in the school 206 boys; there were received
during the year 103, a total of 309, as against 313 for the previous
year. There were discharged during the year 117, leaving in the
school June 30, 1900, 192. In the eleven years, from 1887 to 1898,
the average number of boys in the school increased from 157 to 236.
The present report shows that the diminution in the number which
began after that period has continued, and that the reasons for such
diminution given by the trustees in their report for the previous
fiscal year still exist, but, owing to the passage of the act at the last
session of Congress authorizing parole discharges and extending the
limit of age for admission to under 17 years instead of under 16 years,
it seems probable that the number will increase during the current
year. The trustees report a growing improvement in the character
of the work in the schoolroom, manual training school, and the
instruction given in the various shops, as well as in the outdoor work.
A new assembly hall, for which Congress made an appropriation, is
nearly completed, and will be of great use.

An instructor has been provided for physical culture, the good
effect of which is already apparent. The trustees suggest that the
school be utilized as far as possible to the limit of its capacity by
sending boys to it whenever circumstances seem to warrant such
course, rather than the turning of them over to agencies intended
more strictly for charitable work, thereby distributing them to per-
sons or places where possibly they get little or no instruction, those
to whom they are committed getting not only their services but com-
pensation, making an additional expense to be paid from the public
Treasury.

I agree with what the trustees say on this subject.

girls' reform school.

The reports of the trustees, of the superintendent, and other officers
(Exhibit M) show that the condition of the school is good and the
direction of its affairs satisfactory. The new building is substantially
completed, and will be occupied about January 1. This addition will
provide for 68 more inmates, will permit the admission of white girls
as well as colored girls of the statutory classes, and will, it is believed,
result in increased effectiveness of administration and in a marked
reduction of per capita cost.

I urge again upon Congress the importance of legislation which
shall reduce the age limit of admission to the school and enlarge the

42 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

powers of the trustees, so as to provide by parole when earned, or
by transfer to the workhouse in refractory cases, and in other ways
for more complete authority over the inmates. Congress is referred
to the exhibit mentioned for additional information upon this topic,
which, is believed to be of vital interest to the school. I suggest, as a
means to the desired end, that the act of June 5, 1900, conferring
similar power upon the board of trustees of the Boys' Reform School,
might properly be extended to this school.

Exhibit 2. — Report of the Assistant Attorney- General in charge of the
business of the Department of Justice in the Court of Claims.

Department op Justice,
Washington, D. C, November 2, 1900.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year
ending October 31, li)00, of business pertaining to matters within my
official charge:

BUSINESS OF THE COURT OF CLAIMS.

Since my last report there have been filed 886 cases, claiming, as far
as can be ascertained from the petitions, upward of $4,150,528.26.
The total number of cases now pending, exclusive of those known as
H. Doc. 9- — 4 »&

50 BEPOBT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

"letter-carrier cases," to which reference is hereinafter made, is 2,948.
The amount involved is very large but can not be stated even approxi-
mately on account of the indefiniteness of many of the petitions filed.

During the year 290 cases (exclusive of letter-carrier cases) were
disposed of, the amount claimed being $71,731,881.53. In 151 cases,
claiming $70,223,300.75, judgments of dismissal were secured. In 139
cases, claiming $1,508,580.78, judgments were for claimants for
$300,479.77.

The extraordinarily large amount involved in the cases disposed of,
as above stated, is due to the fact that in one case, which was dismissed
for want of prosecution, the amount claimed was over $64,000,000.

In the above statement the number of cases disposed of is given
merely by their docket numbers. In certain cases, nowever, notably
the " , land-entry" and the "night-inspector" cases, a great number of
individual claims were embraced in each docket number and therefore
appeared as but one case, while in fact they represented 676 cases.

Number of cases disposed of (exclusive of ' ' letter-carrier cases " ) . . . 290

Amount claimed in them $71, 731, 881. 53

For defendants, 151 cases, claiming 70, 223, 300. 75

For claimants, 139 cases, claiming 1, 508, 580. 78

Amount recovered by claimants therein 300, 479. 77

In addition to the above the court has rendered a decision favorable
to the United States in the case of The United States v. Alice Weil,
and an appeal therefrom to the Supreme Court by respondent was
docketed and dismissed.

The case of A. C. Peralta v. The United States, for the recovery of
large tracts of land, under certain alleged Spanish grants, was also
brought to trial and the petition dismissed.

CONGRESSIONAL CASES.

Under the acts of March 3, 1883, C. 116 (1 Supp. R. S., 403), and
March 3, 1887, C. 359 (1 Supp. R. S., 559), authorizing the reference
to the Court of Claims of certain claims pending before Congress, or
any of its committees, for an advisory finding of facts, there have been
transmitted to* the court since my last report 317 cases, claiming
upward of $6,434,959. 36.

The total number of cases so transmitted to date is 10,303, of which
there are now pending 6,760 cases.

Number disposed of. — During the year 331 cases, claiming $1,783,-
171.23, were acted on by the court, and have been or will be reported
to Congress. Of this number, 240 cases, claiming $874,502.06, were
dismissed because claimants or those they represented were disloyal,
or for other causes. In 9 cases, claiming $41,758.50, findings on the
merits favorable to the United States were filed by the court, and in
82 cases, claiming $866,910.67, findings favorable to the claimants
were filed for $159,998.09.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 51

The total of general jurisdiction and Congressional cases disposed
of during the past year greatly exceeds the total disposed of during
the preceding year for the reason that a considerable number were
determined by the decisions in a few test cases, in which the work was
largely done in the prior year, and that I have been able to obtain the
dismissal for want of prosecution, during the past year, of a large
number of ancient cases on the docket. It is expected that many more
may be dismissed for the same reason during the ensuing year.

DEPARTMENTAL CASES.

Under the act of March 3, 1883, C. 116 (1 Supp. R. S., 403), there
have been referred by the Executive Departments to date 66 cases, in
which the court is asked to pass upon certain disputed questions of
law or of fact.

During the year two cases referred by the Secretary of the Treasury
have been disposed of, one being dismissed and in the other a finding
and opinion being filed by the court and certified to the Secretary of
the Treasury.

There are now pending 23 cases. These include the 6 State claims
referred to in my last report in which the reports of the auditors of
the court have been made. Two of them, which were selected as test
cases, have been briefed and will be argued before the court at the
beginning of its next term.

CLAIM8 AGAINST THE DI8TRICT OF COLUMBIA.

These suits are brought under the acts of June 16, 1880, and Feb-
ruary 13, 1895.

Since the last report 19 cases have been disposed of. Two cases
were decided in favor of the District, and in 7 cases judgments were
rendered against the District. These cases have been taken on appeal
to the Supreme Court.

Ten cases, awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court upon two test
cases, are still upon the docket of the Court of Claims. Three other
cases are ready for trial in that court and will be disposed of during
the coming term.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL. 53

The proviso of the act of March 2, 1891, requiring the Court of
Claims to certify as to the next of kin was repeated in the act of March 3,
1899, and the following proviso was added:

That any French spoliation claim appropriated for in this act shall not be paid if
held by assignment or owned by any insurance company.

This proviso does not forbid payment to insurers if they were not
companies, and insuring then was oftener done by individuals than by
companies, the business being otherwise identical. Of the claims now
pending in Congress, amounting to $1,170,507.69, over three-fifths are
those of insurance companies.

Among the opinions of the court rendered since my last report are
several of importance as affecting classes of cases. One, the case of
the ship Juliana, Hay ward, master, decides that whether a claim named
in the appropriation act was "held by assignment," within the mean-
ing of its proviso above quoted, is a question for the Treasury, not the
court. Accordingly the Treasury now has under advisement, sub-
mitted on briefs, some of the numerous claims of C. F. Adams, adminis-
trator of Brooks, who kept an insurance brokerage in Boston and took
assignments from the underwriters who insured in his office.

Other important opinions, rendered, in the case of the ship Parkman,
MacMillan, master, and schooner Henry and Gustavus, Smith, master,
decide that debts owing to the United States by the original claimants
may be set off by the court, or, after appropriation, by the Treasury,
against the amounts found due to their estates.

Another, in the case of the ship Apollo, Walker, master, decided
that where vessels, as often happened, were carried by French priva-
teers into Spanish ports and condemned there by French consuls,
Spain and France were joint tortfeasors, each, therefore, liable for the
loss, and the United States having elected to hold Spain, thus releasing
France, did not become liable over to claimants, as in the case of the
other French spoliation claims. It was contended by the United
States, in the case of the ship Star, Burchmore, master, that the same
principle applied where Spain permitted the French to take our vessels
into her ports, hold them there, and sell them under French decrees,
although these last were pronounced on French territory, but the
opinion was to the contrary.

In the case of the Apollo it was held also that the United States are
not liable in cases of ''property captured and not yet definitively con-
demned" (art. 4, treaty of 1800) wnere restoration by France became
impossible by destruction of the property or otherwise.

A number of important questions have recently been submitted to
the court, and are awaiting decision.

These claims continue to be vigorously pressed since their revival
in 1899, and the preparation of the defense of the same requires the
attention of two assistant attorneys, as stated in my last report, and in
addition the services of a docket clerk and stenographer.

SUITS PENDING AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT IN THE CIRCUIT AND
DISTRICT COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES.

Suits under this jurisdiction are brought pursuant to the provisions
of the act of March 3, 1887, entitled "An act to provide for the bring-
ing of suits against the Government of the United States." (1 Supp.
R. S., 559.)

54 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

During the year ending October 31, 1900, 18 suits were brought in "
the circuit and district courts throughout the United States, the amount
involved therein being $223,411.96. The amount of this litigation is
considerably less than that of previous years, by virtue of the acts of
June 27, 1898, and July 1, 1898, which took away the jurisdiction of
the circuit and district courts over suits for fees or salaries of Govern-
ment officers. Under these last-mentioned acts considerable difference
of opinion arose in Federal courts as to the disposition of pending
cases involving contested questions of fees and salaries of public officers,
some holding that the jurisdiction was taken away in pending as well
as future cases, while others held that the pending cases were not
affected. To meet this divergence of opinion, relief was obtained from
Congress through the passage of the act of February 26, 1900 (Session
Laws, first session, Firty-sixth Congress, p. 33), by which it was pro-
vided that no suit of this character should be abated or affected by the
acts above mentioned, and that any suits which were pending in any cir-
cuit court or circuit court of appeals at the time of the passage of said
acts, which were dismissed by reason thereof, should be restored to their
places in such courts and proceeded with as if the same had not been
enacted.

The matters involved in the various suits brought during the year
may be tabulated as follows:

Labor and material on public works 6

Suits arising under the war-revenue act 3

Duties on exports into Porto Rico 2

Various services performed for the Government 2

Diversion of water supply 2

Miscellaneous 3

During the year 17 suits brought under this jurisdiction were
decided in the circuit and district courts, judgments of dismissal being
obtained in 6 cases, and the remainder resulting in favor of the
claimants. In the circuit courts of appeals, 4 appeals taken on behalf
of the Government were decided, resulting in a judgment of affirm-
ance in 1, whilst in 3 the judgment of the lower court was reversed in
part. In the Supreme Court the judgment in 1 case appealed by the
claimant was reversed in part.

Since this jurisdiction was created 1,393 suits have been brought
against the United States, of which 130 are pending in the circuit and
district courts. Appeals have been directed to be taken to the circuit
courts of appeals in 2 cases, and in 1 to the Supreme Court of the
United States, which latter has not as yet been perfected.

SPECIAL CASES UNDER THE ACT OP AUGUST 15, 1894.

The act of August 15, 1894, chapter 290, par. 5 (2 Supp. R. S., 246),

tave the circuit courts of the United States jurisdiction to try and
etermine any action, suit, or proceeding arising within their respec-
tive territories, involving the right of any person, in whole or in part
of Indian blood or descent, to any allotment of land under any law or
treaty. Under this jurisdiction 6 suits were brought during the past
year and 17 suits in the several years previous, making in all 23 suits
now pending. In a test case a demurrer was filed by the United States,
but was overruled.

M2P0RT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 55

SUITS ARISING OUT OF RIYER AND HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.

A test case in a class of claims of considerable importance, and
likely to be of some magnitude, was recently decided in South Caro-
lina, in which judgment was rendered for the plaintiff for a large sum,
on account of certain alleged injuries resulting to land by reason of
river and harbor improvements. A motion for a new trial has been
made in the case, and it will ultimately be taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

APPEALS IN THE SUPREME COURT.

There have been 8 appeals from judgments of the Court of Claims
determined in the Supreme Court within the year. The United States
was appellant in 1 case, in which the decision of the Supreme Court
was favorable to the Government, while in 7 cases, in which the United
States was appellee, the Supreme Court decided 6 in favor of the United
States and 1 was dismissed by the court.

There are 15 appeals now pending in the Supreme Court from the
Court of Claims, of which 2 are appeals on behalf of the District of
Columbia, 3 in which the rights of Indians are involved under the* gen-
eral jurisdiction of the court, 6 appeals on behalf of the claimants, and
4 on behalf of the United States.

CLASSES SPECIALLY MENTIONED.

The following classes of cases are specially referred to by reason of
the importance of the questions involved, or because of their magnitude:

LETTER-CARRIER CASES.

These suits are brought by letter carriers to recover compensation
for time claimed to have been worked in excess of eight hours per day,
pursuant to the act of May 24, 1888 (1 Supp. R. S., 587). While the
number of individual claims of this nature which have been brought
in the Court of Claims aggregate in the neighborhood of 20,000, they
are now substantially all closed, there remaining but about 275 indi-
vidual claims, from about 35 cities, upon which no report has as yet
been filed. About 200 of these cases, however, have been made the
subject of an examination by a commissioner, in accordance with the
method heretofore adopted, and reports will be filed at an early date.
Supplemental reports will soon be made in about 75 or 100 claims,
upon receipt of which this class of cases will be closed.

During the year judgments have been rendered in 98 suits, embrac-
ing 955 individual claims, and based on reports from 82 cities. The
amount claimed in these petitions was $203,145.25, while the amount
awarded was $58,774.73, or about 28.9 per cent.

In the suit of the letter carriers at San Francisco, covering about
200 individual claims and involving about $90,000, in which petitions
were dismissed on the ground of waiver, a motion for a new trial was
allowed by the court, and the case has been resubmitted on the merits
and is now awaiting a decision.

56 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

POST-OFFICE CLERKS' CASES.

m

These cases are brought to recover the difference of salary between
that actually paid and tne minimum sum allowed b} r virtue of the act
of March 2, 18S9 (1 Supp. R. S., 080), and are based upon the decision
of the Court of Claims in the case of Belcher v. United States (34 C.
Clms., 400). While it at first appeared that the number of these suits
would be very large, the decision in the test case has restricted the
right to recover to a very small number. Since such decision, in April.
1809, 335 individual claims, from 133 cities, were examined and reported
upon by the commissioner, the same course being pursued relative to
their reference as in the case of the letter carriers, and, as a result,
judgments have been rendered in 20 cases, aggregating in amount
$5,869.59.

There are 176 of these cases still pending.

Reports in 139 cases have been made in which nothing was recom-
mended for allowance, and in 4 cases allowance was recommended, but
no judgment has as yet been rendered. In 4 pending cases points of
law are involved upon the decision of which depends the right to
recover in about 400 cases, most of which have already been filed.
Since most of the suits of this character would now be barred by the
statute of limitations, the number that will hereafter arise must of
necessity be inconsiderable.

ALCOHOL CASES.

Embraced in the 886 general jurisdiction cases brought during the
year are 324 cases for rebate of tax on alcohol, claiming in the aggre-
gate $1,501,481.76.

Amended petitions have also been filed in 205 cases previously
brought, increasing the amount claimed $1,671,791.75. The total
number of these suits now pending is 1,483, and the amount claimed
in the same is $7,734,150.60.

The demurrer to the amended petition in one of these cases — Ameri-
can Aristotype Company v. United States — of which I made mention
in my last report, was sustained by the court on the authority of
Dunlap v. United States (173 U. S., 65), and an appeal from this deci-
sion will be promptly made by the claimant to the Supreme Court.
This will result in a virtual rehearing of the Dunlap case, the ques-
tions being substantially the same in both cases.

NAVAL BOUNTY CASES.

There have been filed to date 9 general engagement cases and 3,827
individual claims.

The claim of Admiral George Dewey, based on the engagement of
Manila Bay, was decided by the Court of Claims on February 26,
1900, awarding the minimum bounty, amounting in the aggregate to
$191,400. Ol this amount the claimant Admiral Dewey was given
judgment, pursuant to the statute, for $9,570.

An appeal from this judgment was determined by the Supreme Court
May 28, 1900 (177 U. S., 510), affirming the judgment.

Subsequently the claim of Admiral William T. Sampson, based on
the engagement off Santiago de Cuba, was decided by the Court of
Claims, the award being $166,700, the minimum bounty, and judgment

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 57

being entered for the claimant Admiral Sampson out of the award,
for $8,335.

The remaining minor engagements are now before the court and
will be determined shortly.

If appropriation shall be made by Congress during its coming ses-
sion to pay the amount of these various general awards, the distribu-
tion of the same to the individual claimants can be promptly made.

•

GENERAL REMARKS.

In view of the constantly increasing volume of business of this
branch of the Department, I renew my request for the appointment
of a stenographic clerk for assignment to this office.
Very respectfully,

Louis A. Pradt,
Assistant Attorney- General.
The Attorney-General.

Exhibit 3. — Report of the Assistant Attorney- General in charge of

Indian depredation eases.

Department of Justice,
Washington, D. C. , JVovember P, 1900.

Sir: I submit herewith for your consideration my annual report of
the business of the Department relating to the defense of Indian dep-
redation claims.

The following tabulated statement shows the result of the litigation
during the year ending October 31, 1900, together with a resume of
the number and amount of the cases adjudicated since March 3, 1891,
the date of the passage of the act conferring jurisdiction upon the
Court of Claims in Indian depredation cases:

Total number of cases filed 10, 841

Amount claimed $43, 515, 867. 06

Cases reduced to judgment 2, 774

Amount claimed $11, 774, 141. 49

Judgments in favor of claimants 1, 602

Amount claimed $6, 233, 731. 26

Amount of judgments in favor of claimants $2, 923, 587. 11

Judgments in favor of defendants 1, 172

Amount claimed $5, 540, 410. 23

Judgments for claimants from November 1, 1899, to November 1, 1900 . 416

Amount claimed $1, 616, 541. 40

Amount of judgments for claimants $686, 743. 00

Judgments for defendants from November 1,1899, to November 1,

1900 144

Amount claimed $589, 437. 81

Number of cases in which depositions have been taken (reported)

from November 1, 1899, to November 1, 1900 967

Of these the depositions in 43 cases were for the defendants, and in
924 for the claimants.

The foregoing table shows an increase over the preceding year,
both in the number and the amount of cases tried, which have resulted
in judgments favorable to the claimants. The proportion of recovery
in such cases, however, was slightly smaller. The number of cases in

58 BEP0BT OF THE ATTOBNEY-GENEBAl*.

which judgment has been rendered for the defendants, and the amount
involved in such cases, is smaller than in the preceding year. Both
the increase and the decrease noted are due to the fact that the energies
of the force engaged in the defense have been devoted to the effort to

five every claimant who stood ready for trial an immediate hearing.
his naturally results in the trial first of the cases most likely to be
decided favorably to the claimants. At the same time a very consid-
erable number of cases already prepared for trial, some of which
involve large amounts, are certain to result in judgments of dismissal
as soon as they can be heard.

Many other cases which have been passed for future action are
"dead" cases, where the testimony already taken will defeat the claim,
where the claimant has abandoned the suit, or where, from the lapse of
time or for some other cause, it is impossible to produce the necessary
proof. Such cases can be taken up and dismissed at any time. If the
progress now being made shall render it possible to do so without
delaying the trial of cases where the claimants are ready, it is my pur-
pose to endeavor during the coming year to clear the docket of many
cases of this character.

As stated in my last report, many cases remain on the docket which
are subject to dismissal on jurisdictional grounds which have been estab-
lished in leading cases. No steps have been taken during the past year
to dispose of such cases. The status of many of them is yet in doubt
pending the decision of the Supreme Court in the cases of Montoya
against the United States, and the Apache Indians and Conners against
the United States and the Sioux Indians, now awaiting trial. The final
decision in these cases will open the way for the disposal of a large
number of cases which now stand on the docket.

The work of taking depositions in the field has been delayed to a
considerable extent by the failure of the claimants to appear or to have
their witnesses present at the appointed time. In more than 500 cases
the time of the defendants' attorney has been consumed without result.
Notwithstanding this obstacle, depositions have been taken in a larger
number of cases than during the preceding year, and it is now possible
for the.first time to give to claimants an opportunity to take testimony
in any case without appreciable delay.

Three cases have been passed upon by the Supreme Court since the
date of my last report. In the first, the case of Price against the United
States and the Osage Indians (174 U. S., 373), it is held that the juris-
diction of the Court of Claims under the act of March 3, 1891, does not
extend to claims for consequential damages resulting from the taking
or destruction of property. The case of the Corralitos Company against
the United States (178 U. S., 280) involved the right of recovery where
the offense was committed on foreign soil, the claimant in that case, a
domestic corporation, having suffered a loss of property in Mexico at
the hands of Indians domiciled in the United States. The decision of
the court, affirming that of the Court of Claims, was adverse to the
claimant. The remaining case, that of Andrews against the United
States, recently decided and not yet reported, turned upon the right of
claimants to recover for property taken or destroyed while in transit
across the Indian reservations in the Indian Territory. In this case
the decision was favorable to the contention of the claimants. In each
of the latter cases, as in the first, the decision of the Court of Claims
was affirmed by the Supreme Court.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 59

Before I took charge of the work in this department a great deal of
the time of the office force had been taken up in the settlement of
legal questions. In June, 1897, when I assumed charge of the work,
the Government was about three years behind the claimants in the
briefing of cases. In other words, when a claimant had filed his brief
it was almost, if not quite, three years before the case would be reached
for briefing by the defendants. During the past three years I have
endeavored to bring this work up to date, and have succeeded in doing
so. On November 1, 1900, every case that had been briefed by the
claimants, and that had not been sent to the field bv the Government
for the purpose of taking evidence in behalf of the defense, had either
been briefed or was being briefed by an attorney of this department.
In the present condition, where the evidence is taken and the case ready
for trial, when the claimant files his brief, it is taken up immediately
for briefing by the defense. With the work of this department in this
condition it will be possible to expedite the work and get better results
in the coming year than it has been in any one of the past three years.
Respectfully,

John G. Thompson,
Assistant Attorney- General.

The Attorney-General.

Exhibit 4. — Report of the United States Attorney for the Court of

Private Land Claims.

Santa Fe, N. Mex., Octobers, 1900.

Sir: I have the honor to submit the following annual report as to
the business transacted by the Court of Private Land Claims from
October 5, 1899, up to and including October 5, 1900.

During that period two terms of court have been held at Santa Fe
and two terms held at Tucson, Ariz. , at which sessions a large portion
of the unfinished business shown by my last annual report was consid-
ered and disposed of by the court. I have embodied in the schedules
hereto attached, numbered, respectively, 1 to 4, both inclusive, a state-
ment of the matters disposed of in the New Mexico district, and also
a statement showing the status of each of the cases still remaining for
determination in one form or another.

Schedules numbered 5 to 7, both inclusive, set forth in detail the
business disposed of in the Arizona district and the status of the cases
remaining undisposed of on that docket.

From schedule 1 it will be seen that in the New Mexico district the
court has during the past year decided 22 cases, involving 17 grants,
with a claimed area of 3,255,674.94 acres. Of this area claimed there
have been confirmed 13,007 acres and rejected 3,242,667.94 acres. The
cases just named include two of very considerable importance — one of
them, the Nacimiento grant, wherein 131,000 acres were claimed, and
the other, the Conejos grant, involving 2,500,000 acres. The first of
these is situated in a very prosperous portion of New Mexico and includes
very valuable mineral, pasture, and farming lands, and the pendency
of this claim has retarded very considerably the growth of that section
of the Territory of New Mexico. The Conejos grant, as claimed, is
located in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, including tha

60 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

larger portion of several counties in that State. The decision in each
of these cases was favorable to the Government, and the rejection of
the claims will contribute largely to the prosperity of the localities in
which thev were located.

During the past year there has not been overlooked the importance
of a careful investigation of the survey of any grants returned for
approval by the court by the General Land Office. During the
period covered by this report, as shown by schedules 2 and 3, seven
surveys have been considered by the court, and six of these, involving
an area of 55,536.79 acres, were approved by the court. Upon objec-
tions filed by the Government, one of these, the Las Lagunitas, con-
taining an area of 43,653.03 acres, was rejected by the court and a
resurvey ordered.

Schedule No. 4 is devoted to indicating the status of each case in
the New Mexico district not finally disposed of. From this it will be
seen that there still remain for primary determination — that is, a
hearing on the merits of the claim as a grant, distinguished from the
correctness of any survey made under confirmation — five grants,
involving an estimated area of 23,897 acres.

As shown bv subschedule B of schedule 4, one case has been tried
and submitted and is now under advisement by the court, the area
claimed being 11,480 acres.

The decrees in 25 grants, involving an estimated area of 625,513.49
acres, have been certified by the clerk of the Court of Private Land
Claims to the Commissioner of the General Land Office for survey, as
provided by section 10 of the act creating the Court of Private Land
Claims. A detailed statement of these grants thus pending on survey
appears in subschedule C of schedule 4, attached to this report.

There are pending on appeal 5 grants, involving an area of 4,553,264
acres. In three of these cases the claimants appealed and in the other
2 the United States. A statement of these cases, with their area,
appears in subschedule D of schedule 4, attached to this report.

In 2 cases, involving an area of 27,130 acres, a confirmation has been
announced by the court, but, owing to a difference as to boundaries,
no decree has been entered and the confirmations are not vet final.
(Subschedule E of schedule 4.)

There is pending, on motion for rehearing filed by the Government,
1 case, involving an area of 2, 500 acres. (Subschedule F of schedule 4. )

Summarizing, it will be noted from the schedules attached that there
are now pending in the New Mexico district, including grants on appeal,
39 claims, with a total area of 5,243,787.49 acres.

During the past year there have been filed in the office of the clerk
of the Court of Private Land Claims, at Santa Fe, 2 claims for a money
judgment against the United States, for lands disposed of within grants
heretofore confirmed by the court. These claims are presented under
the provisions of section 14 of the act creating the Court of Private
Land Claims. One of these claims was filed in case No. 140, being the
case of Jose Isabel Martinez et al. v. United States, involving the Juan
Jose Lobato grant, and is for $2,320.91. This case came on for hear-
ing before the court at its May session, 1900, and was resisted by the
Government on the ground that the claim for a money judgment, if
ever valid, was presented to the court too late, there having been no
claim for such money compensation in the original suit, which was
terminated favorably to the plaintiffs on December 4, 1893. The court

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 61

at its May (1900) session rendered a judgment in favor of the claimants
for $2,320. 91. The full facts pertaining to this claim were some months
ago fully reported by this office, and in view of the importance of the
questions as affecting similar claims that may hereafter be presented,
authority was granted by you to sue out an appeal from this judgment,
and that appeal has been duly perfected. The other case in which a
claim for money damages has been filed is that of Louise J. Purdy et
al. v. United States, iNo. 6, involving the Sebastian de Vargas grant.
It is anticipated that the decision of the Supreme Court on the appeal
in the case of Martinez v. United States, No. 140, just referred to, will
be decisive of the claim in the De Vargas case, as well as similar claims
that may hereafter be filed.

Schedules 5, 6, and 7 set forth fully the condition of the Arizona
docket.

From schedule 5 it will be seen that during the past year 8 claims
have been decided by the court, involving a total area of 448,052.89
acres. Of this amount claimed there have been confirmed 69,151.53
acres and 378,901.36 rejected.

During the same time one survey has been completed and approved,
involving an area of 17,355.86 acres. (Schedule 6.)

From schedule 7 it will be seen that there are no cases remaining for
primary trial on the Arizona docket. One case, with an area claimed
of 12,147.69 acres, is pending on motion for rehearing filed by the
Government. (Subschedule A of schedule 7.)

Two grants, involving an area of 19,720.35 acres, are being surveyed.
(Subschedule B of schedule 7.)

The remaining cases on the Arizona docket, 7 in number, are all
pending on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. In 6
of these the appeal was sued out by the claimants, and in the remaining
1 the appeal is being prosecuted by the United States. The total area
involved in said cases on appeal is 442,193.84 acres. (Subschedule C
of schedule 7.)

Summarizing, it will be seen that there are pending in the Arizona
district 10 cases, with an estimated area of 474,061.88 acres. These
cases, however, have all progressed to a point where their early and
final disposition may be anticipated and the many vexed questions
which have surrounded the settlement of these Arizona grant titles
will have been finally disposed of.

I desire to express an appreciation of, and commend, the intelligent
ability of Messrs. William H. Pope, assigned to my office as assistant
attorney, and Will M. Tipton and Henry O. Flipper, special agents,
whose assistance has facilitated the discharge of the duties belonging
to this office.

In conclusion, permit me to extend my thanks for the confidence
heretofore bestowed by you and to indulge the hope that my labors in
the future may merit its continuance.

I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

Matt. G. Reynolds,
United States Attorney, Court of Private Land Claims.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith seven tabular statements
exhibiting the amount, character, and results of the litigation under
my direction for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, shown by the
docket entries of this office.

The tables embrace, respectively:

1. Suits on transcripts of accounts of defaulting public officers,
excepting those of the Post-office Department, adjusted by the account-
ing officers of the Treasury Department.

2. Post-office suits, embracing those against officers of the Post-
Office Department, and cases of fines, penalties, and forfeitures for
violation of postal laws.

3. Suits on custom-house bonds.

4. Suits for recovery of fines, penalties, and forfeitures under the
customs revenue and navigation laws.

5. Suits against collectors of customs and other officers or agents of
the Government, excepting internal-revenue officers, for refund of
duties and acts done in the Tine of their official duty, including appeals
from the decisions of the Board of General Appraisers.

6. Suits in which the United States is a party or is interested and
not embraced in the other classes.

7. A general summary or abstract of all the other tables.

An examination of the tables will show that the whole number of
suits commenced within the year was 2,977, of which 18 were of class
1, for the recovery of $97,2t2; 425 were of class 2, for the recovery
of $28,917.68; 16 were of class 3, for the recovery of $10,459.70; 113
were of class 4, for the recovery of $77,713.66; 210 were of class 5;
and 2,195 were of class 6, for the recovery of $1,252,501.61.

Of the whole number of suits brought, 1,829 were decided in favor
of the United States, 22 were adversely decided, and 270 were settled
and dismissed, leaving 856 still pending.

Of those pending at the commencement of the year, 921 were decided
for the United States, 250 were adversely decided, and 768 were set-
tled and dismissed.

The whole number of suits decided or otherwise disposed of during
the year was 4,060; the whole amount for which judgments were
obtained, exclusive of decrees in rem, was $567,046.84, and the entire
amount collected from all sources was $188,020.22.

The number of cases in which offers of compromise were pending
and received during the fiscal year was 159, involving the sum of
$794,055.99.

The number of offers accepted was 107, involving the sum of
$162,052.31; amount accepted, $61,431.89.

184 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The number of offers rejected was 45, involving the sum of
$614,365.12; amount rejected, $66,103.70.

The number of offers pending at the close of the vear was 7, involv-
ing the sum of $17,638.56; amount offered, $1,793.85.

There has been collected during the fiscal year for rent of property,
by law in charge of this office, the sum of $1,059.25, less the sum of
$249.25, expended or authorized for custody and repairs thereof.

A statement of real property, by law in charge of tnis office, acquired
and sold during the fiscal year is appended.

The number of letters and communications received by this office
during the fiscal year was 9,267; the number of letters, etc., sent out
was 5,479; the number of written opinions rendered on questions of
law submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury, heads of bureaus of
the Treasury Department, and others was 153; the original official
bonds, contracts, leases, and deeds received for examination as to their
correctness in form and legal sufficiency and returned was 1,044; the
number of duplicates, triplicates, quadruplicates, etc., which required
the same careful examination as the originals, was 1,234, making 1 a
total of 2,278 legal instruments examined and returned.

The foregoing represents only to a limited extent the business of
this office. The various cases in charge of the office are entered in
dockets kept for that purpose, and every step in the progress of each
case, from its inception to its close, as well as all data relating thereto,
are noted therein.

Constant vigilance and zeal is required upon the part of the individ-
uals having charge of these cases in order to bring them to a successful
issue for the Government, for as a general thing every power of inge-
nuity or technicality is employed to defeat the Government in its
prosecutions.

The statistical statements herewith will demonstrate that efforts in
this direction upon the part of the office have not been relaxed.

There are frequent consultations with the solicitor and the officials
under him by the heads of bureaus, chiefs of divisions of the Treasury
Department and other departments relative to cases pending, investi-
gations made, and verbal opinions given, which require time, care,
and research that can not be tabulated.

Within the year there was compiled in the office a digest of the laws
and decisions relating to the Chinese exclusion acts, requiring much
time, research, and labor, which was very valuable to the office, and
the demand for the work at home and abroad would indicate that it
had a general value; and also a Digest of Immigration Laws and
Decisions, which is exceedingly useful.

Repeated efforts have been made to obtain a larger appropriation
for the purchase of law books for the library of this bureau, but so
far it has been unsuccessful. The Solicitor, in his official relation to
the Secretary of the Treasury, is required to give legal opinions on
questions arising in that Department, and in all parts of the country,
concerning the business of the Government, and unless he has the stat-
utes of the States and the decisions of the courts of the various States,
he must be embarrassed in the performance of his duties.

Besides, the utility of the library is not confined to this office, for,
it being the only law library in the Treasury building, the officers of
that Department are dependent on it for the legal information often
required in the performance of their official duties.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL. 185

It would require several thousand dollars to bring the library up to
a proper standard of completeness, and the longer the delay the greater
the amount that will be required. Therefore, I most earnestly recom-
mend that some suitable action be taken to bring this matter to the
attention of Congress so that an appropriation may be made for an
increase of the library.

It will be observea that nearly 3,000 suits have been commenced
during the year and that more than 4,000 suits have been disposed of,
as follows: 2,750 decided in favor of the United States and 1,038 set-
tled and dismissed, while only 272 have been decided adversely to the
Government.

It will not be questioned that the work of giving directions as to the
management of these thousands of suits should be in the hands of law-
yers of first-class attainments. Very many of the written opinions
going from this office are of the greatest importance, and much time
is necessarily consumed in their preparation, and I may sa}~, in addition
to this, more of the time of the Solicitor and Assistant Solicitor is
occupied in giving oral opinions and advice than in the preparation of
the written opinions.

Some of the best work on questions of law is done by a $1,600 clerk,
whose services are certainly worth $2,400. He ought to be promoted
and made a "law clerk" at a salary of not less than $2,400.

His time is devoted to strictly legal work, and no part of it is
employed in mere clerical work. During the last year he wrote and
compiled two valuable works: A Digest of the Chinese Exclusion
Laws and Decisions and a Digest of Immigration Laws and Decisions,
which have already been worth more to the Government than his salary
for two years.

Law clerks in the various departments receive salaries ranging from
$2,000 to $3,000, and I feel justified in earnestly urging that the next
appropriation bill provide for a law clerk in this bureau, with a salary
of $2,400.

There should be one more fourth-class clerk and one less second-class
clerk in this office. The clerk who for many years has acted as pri-
vate secretary to the Solicitor has, by his ability and faithfulness, well
earned the promotion which he could receive if there should be an
increase in the number of fourth-class clerks. This would enable him
to be placed on a footing with clerks in other bureaus who are employed
in similar work.

1 would also invite your favorable consideration to the fourth-class
clerks, who keep the principal dockets in this office and write a large
number of very important letters in relation to the institution and con-
duet of suits and other business of the bureau. Men of ordinary ability
or with limited experience could not do the work required of these
clerks.

I regard the salaries paid them as inadequate, and would earnestly
recommend that they be paid $2,000 each per annum. The clerk doing
similar work in the Department is paid $2,500 per annum.
Very respectfully,

Maurice D. O'Connell,

Solicitor.

Hon. John W. Griggs,

Attorney- General.

Department of Justice,
<n, D. C, October 37, 1900.
Sir: I respectfully submit the following report on the library of the
Department of Justice for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900:

This library has had in its possession for many years quite a collec-
tion of foreign books, but until recently they were seldom or never
called for. The late Spanish-American war brought the Spanish books

200 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

into demand^ and made it desirable for the Department to have a cata-
logue of all its foreign books — that is, books in languages other than
English. Mr. Theodore B. Lyman, as you are aware, has been assist-
ing me in this work, which is now Tvell under way. New shelving 1 has
been erected, and the books collected, catalogued, and arranged on the
shelves according to countries. The catalogue will show the publica-
tions of each country in the following manner: First, list or codes,
laws, etc.; second, list of treatises, in alphabetical arrangement,
according to the names of the authors; third, subject list of treatises.

It is believed that this arrangement will prove satisfactory. This
catalogue, especially the subject part of it, is in the nature of a pio-
neer, as we were unable to find any other catalogue which was of the
slightest assistance.

At the date of this report the manuscript is nearly all in the hands
of the printer.

Each summer it is customary for me to go over the shelves, select
such books as need rebinding, and send them to the bindery, together
with the year's accumulation of periodicals. This I have been unable
to do during the past summer, owing to the work on the foreign cata-
logue.

The library is receiving a thorough cleaning, which it has needed
ever since it was moved into this bunding. The work is being done
carefully and well.

It is earnestly hoped that Congress will take some action on Senate
bill 3181, introduced during the last session. While the Superintend-
ent of Documents has not yet refused to supply this Department
with additional copies of Statutes at Large, etc., beyond the number
indicated in the statute, yet he has no authority for so doing, and he
feels that the law should be amended in such a manner as to allow him
to supply the Department with the number of copies actually needed.
With regard to current publications of the statutes, 500 copies are
authorized, and each time ne is obliged to furnish 200 additional copies.
The new courts and officers of Hawaii and Porto Rico require 23 addi-
tional copies, and in view of the fact that at every session of (jongress
new courts are created, I suggest that 750 copies of each statute issued
should be sent to this Department.

It is the librarian's duty to distribute these books to every Federal
court and officer throughout the United States. The books have to
be properly stamped and prepared for shipment and requests for
receipts mailed to each person to whom they are sent; perhaps a second
or third request is necessary before the receipt is received. The receipts
are then filed. Obtain from each incoming officer an inventory of the
statutes delivered to him by his predecessor, ascertain what has become
of the missing books, and supply such as can not be found. This, it
will be seen, necessarily takes considerable time.

Except as found in the library set, this Department has no copies
of the Opinions of Attorneys-General prior to volume 13. Tney
were printed as a private enterprise and can only be had by purchase.
Some of the volumes are very scarce. Recently, by reason of the
assignment of a local law-book dealer, I have had offered me at a
remarkably low figure a large number of the early volumes in unbound
form. They comprise practically all the stock known to be in exist-
ence, and are as follows: One hundred and fifty copies each of volumes
1 to 5, and fifty copies each of volumes 6 to 8, in all 900 volumes, for

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 201

$ 225. This Department is the proper depository for these books, and
I should have purchased them at once if our regular appropriation
could have been used for that purpose. I suggest that Congress be
asked to appropriate $ 225 for the purchase of these books, the same
to be distributed in like manner as other volumes of the opinions
published by this Government.

Last year I spoke of the desirability of purchasing the trinity series —
the American Decisions, the American Reports, and the American State
Reports, and suggested an addition to the regular appropriation for
that purpose, which was not made. As it is quite out of tne question
for us to purchase the entire three series at one time out of the regular
appropriation, it is my intention to buy each series separately. Iliave
purchased at a moderate price a good secondhand set of the American
Reports, and hope next year to add a set of the American Decisions.

Last year Congress appropriated as a deficiency for the purchase of
books for this library $500. I suggest that the same amount be appro-
priated for this year, and that the regular appropriation for the ensuing
year be made large enough so that next year we will not be obliged to
ask for a deficiency appropriation. To accomplish this, the appropria-
tions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, should be as follows:

For law books for the library of this Department $2,250

For session laws and statutes of the States and Territories for the library of
this Department 500

Very respectfully,

James A. Finch, Librarian.
The Attorney-General.

216 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

Exhibit K. — Report oftha warden of the United State* penitentiary

at tort Leavenworth* Kans.

United States Penitentiary,
Fort Leavenworth, Juzns. , June SO, 1900.

Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the annual report of this
penitentiary for the year ending June 30, 1900, and to call attention
to the accompanying reports of the chaplain, surgeon, chief clerk,
record clerk, superintendent of farm, and superintendent of construc-
tion of the new prison.

PRISON POPULATION.

The population at the close of last fiscal year was 779. The gain
during the year was 497, loss 374, leaving a total of 902 present at
this date. Average population for the year, 791.8, against 608 the
previous year.

MAINTENANCE APPROPRIATION.

The appropriation for the fiscal year was: Regular, $149,912; defi-
ciency, $10,000; total, $159,912. The amount expended under this
appropriation was $159,124.59,* leaving an unexpended balanee of
$787.41. The items of expenditure are fully shown in the accom-
panying tables.

SUBSISTENCE.

The net cost of subsistence for the year was $33,890.57. A slight
increase will be noticed in the average yearly cost of subsistence per
man. This is due to the increased cost of supplies purchased during
the last two quarters of the fiscal year. The average yearly cost of
subsistence per prisoner was $42.80. The average daily cost per pris-
oner was 11.72 cents. A decrease is shown, however, in the gross
cost of maintenance per prisoner. It amounts to $200.97 per man for
the year, a fraction over 55 cents per man per day, Last year the
gross cost per prisoner was $218 per year or 59 cents per day.

HEALTH.

The health of the prison has continued uniformly good throughout
the year, as will be shown more fully by the surgeon's report. An
outbreak of smallpox, which threatened to become epidemic, was
promptly checked by organizing an isolation camp, in whicn the
patients were treated; the entire prison popoulation was thoroughly
vaccinated, and the ravages of the disease prevented.

chaplain's report.

The report of the chaplain shows that the work in his department
has been prosecuted with commendable zeal, and the results have been
very encouraging. It is a matter of regret that school work can not
be carried on in this prison as it should be, for lack of room. A large
number of prisoners who are listed as being able to read and write are

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 217

really very ignorant and in great need of primary instruction, such as
will enable them to meet the ordinary responsibilities of citizenship
after their release. Ample provision is made for this purpose in the
plans of the new prison, and this fact alone constitutes a strong argu-
ment for early completion of the same.

RECORDS.

The report of the bookkeeper and record clerk shows that the meas-
urements, descriptions, and records of the prisoners have been care-
fully made, properly tabulated, and corrected to date, so that reference
to the same is rendered easy, and the identification of habitual and
professional criminals thoroughly secured.

•

FARM AND GARDEN.

The work of the farm and garden has been successfully prosecuted,
and a vast amount of transportation has been accomplished, as will
appear more fully from the subjoined report of the superintendent of
farm and transportation.

NEW PRISON.

*

Attention is called to the report of the superintendent of construc-
tion, showing amount of work performed in connection with the new
prison. I can not emphasize too fully the importance of this work, nor
recommend too strongly its completion to the point that the prisoners
from the old may be removed to the new prison, at the earliest day
possible. Over 50 per cent, on the average, of the working time of
the prisoners is lost in marching back and forth. But this is not the
most serious loss. The marching of such a mass of men together is,
of itself, despite all precautions, a demoralizing influence that tells
with fearful effect upon the morale of the prisoners. It is earnestly
hoped by all who are familiar with the situation, that the continuance
of this state of things may be made as short as possible, both for the
interests of the prisoners and the honor of the Government. The foun-
dations of the two interior cell houses will be completed by the 1st of
January, 1901. If provision can be made for the completion of said
cell houses during the year 1901, it will be possible to remove the
prisoners to the new penitentiary by July 1, 1902, and continue the
work of construction with their help alone until the entire institution
is completed.

DISCIPLINE.

The discipline of the penitentiary has steadily improved during the
year. No escapes have occurred since December last. Several escaped
prisoners have been recaptured. The prisoners generally have per-
formed their labors cheerrully, and manifested a willing obedience to
the rules. Fewer punishments have been found necessary than might
reasonably have been expected under the circumstances. My acknowl-
edgments are due to the officers who constitute the staff of the peniten-
tiary for their vigilance, industry, and cordial cooperation in tne work
of the past year. The guards, with few exceptions, have discharged
their duties faithfully.

218

BEPORT OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL.

To yourself, sir, and the Department which you represent, I am
under many obligations for support and assistance.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,

R, W. MoClauqhrt, Warden.
The Attorney-General.

United States Penitentiary,
Fort Leavenworth, Kan*., June 30, 1900.

Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith a statistical statement of
the records of this penitentiary for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900.

In addition, I would state that during said fiscal year original
anthropometric measurements (according to the Bertillon system) were
taken of 326 prisoners, and remcasurements were taken of 253 pris oners.

The measurements and descriptions of all prisoners who nave been
inmates of this institution since July 1, 1895, including those above
mentioned, have been properly recorded in an appropriate book: classi-
fied, and filed in a cabinet constructed for the purpose, facilitating
ready reference and the identification of criminals.

All prisoners received during the fiscal year have been photographed,
the negatives properly marked by number, and filed for future use.
Prints Tiave been made in all cases from the negatives, and mounted
on descriptive cards.

In addition, I have the honor to report that the descriptive cards,
photographs, and corresponding negative plates of 1861 prisoners,
who were inmates of this penitentiary prior to its transfer from the
military to the civil authorities, have been classified, recorded, and
properly filed for future reference.

Very respectfully, M. W. McCladghry,

Bookkeeper and Becord Clerk.

The Warden.

Sib: I have the honor to submit herewith a report of the financial
affairs of the penitentiary for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900.

While it will be noticed that the per capita cost of subsistence is
slightly greater than during the previous fiscal year, this increase is due
to the increased cost of subsistence supplies purchased during the last
two quarters of the fiscal year.

The per capita cost of maintenance, as will be seen from the report,
is considerably less than during the previous fiscal year, due to the
increase in the average number of prisoners.
Respectfully,

C. K. Macey, Chief Clerk.

The Warden.

In explanation of this increase it is only necessary to state that during the prior year the average
number of prisoners confined was 608, while during the current year the average was 791.80, an increase
of nearly 200 prisoners, and also to the fact that the cost of supplies has been greater during the pres-
ent fiscal year than in 1899.

Chaplain's Office, U. S. Penitentiary,

Fort Leavenworth, Kans., June SO, 1900.
Tho Warden:

In compliance with your instructions, I take pleasure in presenting
my report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900:

As the preaching of the Word is of primary importance in the
chaplain's work, your attention is called, first, to the —

Preaching service. — This has been held regularly each Sunday, with
fairly encouraging results. It is gratifying to state that the attend-
ance has been usually good. Out of a population averaging 792, fifty
per cent, at least, were habitual attendants upon these meetings. Our
chapel will seat 600, and at times it was well filled. I have endeavored
to preach such sermons as would arouse the conscience and lead to the
reformation and salvation of the man. As to the results, eternity
alone can fully reveaL The song service has been in charge of Mr.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 225

Hon, a prison guard, during the latter part of the year, and has been
a valuable aid to the preaching of the Word. The choir meets regu-
larly once a week for practice. The orchestra has rendered good
service, and has improved in its work.

The Bible class. — This class meets immediately after the preaching
service and continues one hour. The course of study is the Interna-
tional Sunday School Lessons. Forty-eight sessions were held this
year, the attendance averaging 127. The chaplain has personally con-
ducted these studies. He nas enjoyed the work and believes good has
been done. Many of the members take great interest in Bible study,
and some appear to have a fairly good knowledge of God's Word.
Having no lesson helps, and only 83 Bibles and 193 Testaments, we
have labored under some disadvantages. I am glad to say, however,
that this condition will be improved, as instructions have been given
for the purchase of a large number of Bibles. While we are pleased
with what has been accomplished, we hope for better results the ensu-
ing year.

The sick have been regularly visited and such comfort and encour-
agement given as opportunity afforded. Ten inmates died during the
year and were buried in the prison cemetery after brief and appropri-
ate services were held in the chapel.

The library. — The catalogue snows 4,981 volumes, which is rather
misleading. Some of these volumes are made up of several parts, and
each part is numbered as a book. There are nearly 200 books not
catalogued. Number condemned because unfit for repair, 81, which
includes 13 Bibles. Books are exchanged each week for those who
make application. The average number exchanged per week was 500,
or 26,000 for the year. Three-fourths of the books issued belong to
the light-literature class. The rest are religious, scientific, historical,
and poetical works. Eight hundred and fifty-three schoolbooks ? not
included in the figures given above, are kept by the men for private
use in their cells; also 179 slates. It may be proper to state that a
large number of books are old and much worn, and can be of service
but a short while. It would be a splendid thing if 100 books of good,
wholesome literature were added annually to the library. No purchase
of books has been made during the year.

Friends interested in prison reform have favored the institution
with papers, magazines, good books in cheap binding, etc., for which
we are exceedingly grateful. I desire to make special mention of
religious and church papers that come weekly to this office. They are
among the best and ablest published, and are furnished gratuitously.
To insure the regular receipt of these papers, I recommend that they
be annually subscribed for, as this gratuity may cease at any time.

Prisoners' mail. — Since August 15, 1899, 1 have had the superin-
tendence of the prisoners 1 mail. Convicts are permitted to write twice
a month. Three mails are received each day, except Sundays, when
no mail work is done in this office. A faithful record of all letters
and valuables has been kept. Number of letters mailed during this
time, 16,316; number of stamps received, 16,421; stamps on hand this
date, 105.

I have carried out, as far as possible, rule 2, under instructions gov-
erning the chaplain in his duties, and would refer you to the tabulated
statement given below for information.

Chaplain.

United States Penitentiary,
Fort Leavenworth, Kans., June 30, 1900.

I have the honor to submit herewith my report as physician for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1900.

As shown by the accompanying tabular statement, there were 18
cases remaining under treatment from the previous fiscal year; 352
cases were received during the year; 335 were discharged; 11 died,
and there were 24 cases remaining under treatment at the end of the
year. There were 12,385 cases reported on morning sick call, of
which 9,175 were returned to duty, 2,858 were sent to quarters, and
the remainder, 352, were admitted to the hospital for treatment.

On December 20, 1899, one of the paroled prisoners developed a case
of smallpox. He was promptly isolated ana all his clothing and bed-
ding burned. A pest camp was established on the prison farm about
three-fourths of a mile from any habitation, to which the patient was
removed, and a strict quarantine enforced. The building in which the
case had developed (parole charters) was also rigidly quarantined from
the rest of the prison, the inmates being confined there until danger
from contagion had passed. The prisoners, as well as the officers and
their families, were vaccinated, and in cases where the vaccine did not
take at first they were revaccinated.

There was no further outbreak of the disease until January 6, 1900,
when two cases of varioloid developed, and there were two additional
cases on the 10th of January. These cases were at once removed to
the pest camp, and their clothing and bedding burned. All of these

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

227

patients recovered, with no serious complications, and no other cases
developed. The pest camp was abandoned February 9, 1900, the
entire camp being afterwards destroyed by fire.

Upon removing the quarantine from the parole building the quar-
ters were thoroughly fumigated and disinfected in the following man-
ner: First, by sulphur fumes for twenty-four hours; second, by
generous application of carbolic acid; third, by cleansing with soap
and hot water; fourth,, by coating the interior of the quarters with
lime wash and paint.

On July 2, 1899, a case of measles developed, and from that date
up to and including August 7, 1899, there were 49 additional cases,
making 50 in all. These cases were all isolated, as far as possible, in
the hospital and adjacent building, and all recovered with no serious
results.

During the year there were 14 cases of tuberculosis developed, and 2
cases of this disease were carried over from the previous year. These
cases were isolated as far as it was possible to do with our limited
facilities for isolation.

The following tabular statement shows the number of medical,
surgical, and mortuary cases, and also a recapitulation of these cases:

United States Penitentiary,

Fort Leavenworth, Kans. , June SO, 1900.

Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith my report as superintend-
ent of farm and transportation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900,
showing the acreage under cultivation and the estimated yield of the
several items of farm produce.

In this report I have not attempted to show the amount of labor that
has been performed nor the teaming that has been done both in hauling
ice for the use of the penitentiary and the hauling of sand, cement,
logs, lumber, cord wood, tiling, etc.. for use at the new site.

The amount of sand hauled from tne river bed to the new site, a dis-
tance of nearly 5 miles, was about 2,300 loads. The cotton wood lum-
ber that was gotten out and hauled to the sawmill and from there to
the new site amounted to about 65,000 feet. There were about 1,200
loads of cord wood hauled to the site. The amount of ice hauled and
stored in the ice houses was about 1,500 tons.

In addition to the regular farm work, there was dug about 3 miles of
ditch, 3 feet deep by 6 feet wide, for the purpose of draining certain
portions of the bottom land, in order that it might be placed under
cultivation; about 700 stumps were cleared off the farm land, the lane
leading through the farm was cleared and fenced, and a large part of
the farm was plowed two or more times to get it in proper shape for
putting in the crops.

The entire work under my charge has been performed with an aver-
age of 25 paroled prisoners a day, with one guard and one teamster.
Respectfully,

Geo. T. Holybee,
Superintendent Farm and Transportation.

The Warden.

Exhibit L. — Report of the hoard of trustees of th# Reform, School,

District of Columbia.

Washington, D. C, November 7, 1900.

Sir: In accordance with law, I have the honor to submit the report
of the board of trustees of the Reform School of the District of Colum-
bia for the fiscal year 1900.

At the beginning of the fiscal year there were in the school 206 boys;
there were received during the year 103, a total of 309, as against 313
for the previous year. Eighty-four of those received were committed
by the police court and 2 by the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, 14 by United States courts outside of the District, and 3 by
the president of the board of trustees.

There were discharged during the year 93 by order of the trustees,
17 by expiration of sentence (United States courts), 2 by pardon of
the President of the United States, and 5 escaped and are still absent,
leaving in the school June 30, 1900, 192. There were no deaths during
the year, and the general health of the inmates was and is good.

The accompanying table shows the estimates of appropriations for
the next fiscal year, ending June 30, 1902, which, under the law, have
been submitted to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia
before insertion in the act making appropriations for the District.
The amount appropriated for salaries for the present fiscal year was
$16,452. The amount of the present estimate for salaries is the same.
The amount estimated as necessary for the support of the inmates is

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 231

the same as was appropriated for the present fiscal year and has been
appropriated for a number of years past. The estimate of $3,000 for
an additional boiler, including all expenses of installation, foundation,
brickwork, connections, etc., is for the purpose of so increasing the
heating and power plant as to render the school independent of acci-
dent. The present boiler capacity barely suffices for the needs of the
school, and is taxed to its utmost capacity during cold winter weather,
and should an accident or any other cause prevent the use of one of
the present boilers there would not be left enough to do the work
required. The putting in of this additional boiler is simply a matter
of wise economy, whicn is recommended as a sensible business propo-
sition.

Congress, at its last session, passed an act changing the age of admis-
sion to the school from under 16 years to under 17 years, and author-
izing the board of trustees to grant temporary or conditional discharges,
thereby making it possible for the board to exercise supervision over
the boys after discharge, and to return to the school those who, after
discharge on parole, lapse into vicious ways. This legislation ought
to reduce the number of commitments of boys to the jail and work-
house, where they are frequently sent now because their parents prefer
a short sentence there to the possibility of a long stay at the Reform
School.

Congress, at its last session, made an additional appropriation for an
assembly hall at the school, the appropriation made at the previous
session having turned out to be too small, because of the rise in the cost
of building material, etc. A contract for the erection of the build-
ing was made, and work begun upon it September 14, and, at the date
of this report, the brickwork of the lower story has been completed
and the rafters are now being put in place upon the superstructure.
It is expected that the building will be under roof before bad weather
sets in, and completed for use Dy the middle of the winter.

During the year the necessary repairs for the proper care and pres-
ervation of the buildings and personal property belonging to the school
have been made, including those to the workshops, family buildings,
barns, stables, fencing, sewers, roadway, steam plant, etc. , in all of which
work the boys have been employed whenever practicable. The boiler
house and coal vaults were thoroughly overhauled, the walls repaired,
and the vaults lined with cement, to exclude dampness. The green-
houses were almost entirely rebuilt, and are now in excellent condition.
The use of the old bathing pools, one of which was located in each
family building, has been discontinued and their place has been taken
by shower baths, a measure conducive to good health and cleanliness.
Tne character of the work in the schoolroom, the manual-training
school, and the instruction given in the various shops, as well as in the
outdoor work, has perhaps been better than usual. Owing to the
season, the farm crops were not as good as usual.

On the day before the date of this report a fire broke out in the lower
story of the principal shop building, which destroyed some hundreds
of dollars' worth of paper boxes, in storage awaiting delivery, and
injured the building to the amount of possibly $200. The fire was
controlled by the school authorities without assistance from the District
fire department. The school is supplied with water by a steam pump
located at the power house. There is a brick water tower in which are
two 15,000-gallon wrought-iron tanks, the base of the lower tank being

232 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

60 feet above the ground level. There is a system of pipes running
through the grounds, connected with the tanks in the water tower and
with hre plugs located at points best suited for use. There are two
hose reels, suitably housea, and a hook and ladder truck all ready for
immediate service. The height of the water tank makes it possible to
throw a stream upon the roof of any of the buildings by gravity alone.
With this apparatus the employees of the school were able to handle
the fire without outside assistance, and to confine it to the room in
which it started. The conditions are such as to reduce the danger from
fire to the boys and other inmates of the school to a minimum.

The superintendent, in his report which accompanies this as an
exhibit, suggests the erection of another family building. The pres-
ent maximum capacity of the school is 250 boys, if the number of
white and colored boys is such as to utilize the provision made for
each. In 1898 the average number in the school during the year was
236; in 1899, 224, and in the year covered by this report, 197. In the
eleven years from 1887 to 1898 the average number of boys increased
from 157 to 236. There are a number of reasons for the falling off in
the last two years; one of these is the tendency to the multiplication
of agencies for the care of boys. The Board or Children's Guardians
would seem to be intended primarily for charitable work, but it is a
question whether it does not obtain through the courts control of many
boys who should perhaps more properly be sent to the Reform School,
the reasons for tneir commitment being based upon acts committed
or general condition of behavior calling for reformation rather than
for charitable support, the object of the school being the reformation
and a supplemental carrying out of control where parents are no longer
able to exercise it. It would seem, as a mere question of economy, to
be wiser to utilize this school to the limit of its capacity rather than
to distribute boys to farms and other private places where, possibly,
they get little or no instruction, the persons to whom they are com-
mitted getting not only their services, but compensation, making an
additional expense to be paid from the public treasury.

The reports of the superintendent, treasurer, and physician are sub-
mitted as exhibits.

Very respectfully, Cecil Clay,

President Board of Trustees.

By reference to the foregoing tables it will be seen that our average
population has been decreasing for several years. The school, how-
ever, is in no way responsible for this decrease in number. Two or
three years ago, it will be remembered, we were overcrowded, and
you were compelled under existing laws to ask for temporary suspen-
sion of commitments by the District courts. Had your appeal to
Congress at that time for another family building been favorably con-
sidered, our number would have increased rather than diminished, and
many boys would have been cared for here instead of by private insti-
tutions outside the District of Columbia.

The conditions referred to above must be considered from a purely
local standpoint both in their relation to the school and in their excep-
tional bearing upon its reduced population. Other and very natural
agencies have helped to secure these results and may be fo und wjj "
difficulty in the increased opportunities for ^i^^gfff/fti^ff^^^

followed in the wake of the general reviva^SFall business industries
throughout the country.

It is not claimed by the committjLsg authorities that any advantage
has been gained either financially or otherwise by such disposition of
these juvenile delinquents. It simply became a necessity to have them
in some way cared for, an^ there was no other means at their com-
mand. This would clearly indicate our need for another building,
with additional mean? to not only provide against contingencies of this
kind, but to enable you to meet all demands made by reason of the con-
tinued increase o/ population in the District. It would seem to be
but a practical business transaction upon the part of the Government
to thus concentrate rather than scatter its efforts in furthering this
important work. Our general plant is practically complete and well
equipped to provide for a much larger population. Expansion numeri-
cally, under these conditions, would be in the line of a true economy
and eventualy prove a large factor in reducing the per capita cost of
maintenance.

236 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

The large tract of land upon which our school buildings are located
belongs in fee simple to the United States. It is "beautiful for situa-
tion," within a few miles of and overlooking the city, which is easily
reached by means of both steam and electric railways. Our cultivated
fields are already broad and invite the labor of busy hands. Many
acres are yet waiting to be cleared and made ready for a large increase
of the varied products which have helped to supply our tables annu-
ally for many years. The labor required is both nealthful and invit-
ing to the average boy, knowing that he will share liberally in all he
thus helps to produce. I therefore beg to repeat, in order to further
impress, if possible, my suggestion as to another family building, hop-
ing that you will make an effort to secure from the next Congress an
appropriation to cover its cost.

Whatever may be claimed or even admitted as to the higher char-
acter and general progress of our school work, it is always safe to
count the cost and thus to be prepared to minimize, as far as possible,
expenditures in each separate department. A somewhat larger outlay
than usual has been required on account of necessary repairs, but as
will be seen from the report of the treasurer this entire expense has
been more than met by increased gains in our several industries and by
him covered into the U nited States Treasury. The pro rata cost for
maintenance has been about 10 per cent more than for the preceding
fiscal year, owing to a marked advance in the price of all food and
other supplies. Our total expenditures, however, have been kept
within the regular appropriations made by Congress. It may be noted
further that tne school has not appeared as a claimant in any deficiency
bill within the past eighteen years.

Fairly good results have followed another year of "farming for
profit" — profit to the school in many ways, but more directly as a
manual training for well-grown boys, who have been greatly benefited
by what they nave learned practically in this branch of honorable
labor, and also in a healthful development of brawn and muscle. The
season did not favor a large crop either of cereals, vegetables, or fruit;
enough, however, to satisfy all reasonable expectations. Much care is
given daily to the quality and preparation or all table supplies, nor is
the quantity restricted except by order of the physician. Puree whole-
some meals are provided daily to each and every boy. After many
years of experience we still discard the "bread and water line" as a
means of punishment for any misdemeanor. A bad boy is often hard
to control, but a hungry bad boy increases the difficulty. Feed him
well, as a natural antidote for his too hasty temper and boyish pug-
nacity, and you prepare him in a large measure to accept, often
willingly, any reasonable and just punishment he may have deserved.

Our boys' dining room is still made an object lesson and a standard
of cleanliness and comfort for the entire school. It is also a place for
discipline — not rigid, but of a character to impress upon every boy
the importance, especially to himself, of cultivating a manly and man-
nerly behavior when at meals. An officer connected with each family
is always present to aid in securing the best results possible.

Manual training of some kind, with its just equivalent of recreation,
is stiU the order for every working day. During the fall and winter
months, however, the daily school sessions are considered of first
importance. The senior officer of each family is also the teacher,
having charge of both morning and afternoon sessions. As a rule

our boys are not far advanced in their school grades when received,
coming to us often because they have been delinquents at home. As
their stay here is limited, we try to formulate in their interest a
practical course of study, by which they can be advanced in the primary
branches, commencing, it may be, with the alphabet, and from that to
long division in written arithmetic. Short daily recitations are also
required in geography and history. We have always, however, a num-
ber of boys who are, when received, prepared to take positions in the
higher grades and corresponding with those taught in the District
public schools. Altogether, the work in our schoolrooms has been
very satisfactory, considering the average mental capacity of those
with whom our teachers have had to deal.

Our manual-training school is now fairly well established, and has
made good progress during the year. It is comparatively a new
industry with us, but must soon become very beneficial to all boys
naturally inclined to mechanical rather than to out-door labor of any
kind. No one, in fact, can practice the lessons taught them in this
department and not find them both helpful and profitable.

There has also been recently inaugurated a modified exercise in
military tactics, to include the u setting-up drill," with other and
modern athletics as taught in the public schools of our city. This is
all in the line of a correct and healthful development, and the hour thus
spent is welcomed almost as much by the boys as one given to a favorite
game on the ball ground. A competent military instructor has charge
of these exercises, in which at stated intervals every boy, young and
old, is expected to take his part.

Much interesting information could be gif en concerning our many
honorably discharged boys. Enough here to state that as a rule they
are doing well, while a large number are deserving of special commen-
dation. It would be largely in the interest of these boys, however,
could they have some direct oversight, including limited pecuniary
aid, when found worthy, after leaving the school. All experience
teaches the direct advantage gained by such oversight and constant
supervision as can be secured only through the personal efforts of a
vigilant and competent agent employed and paid for such service.
Our regular appropriations should be made to cover such an expendi-
ture, the same as for other employees.

Every legal holiday has been observed by the school, but more
especially Independence Day and Christmas. Thanksgiving turkeys,
sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pies were plentifully provided for all at
the noon hour on that particular day. We try to make the most of
these recurring festivals, and are always ready to welcome their return.

No death has occurred, and general good health has been prevalent
throughout the year. Special care has been taken, under the advice
of the visiting physician, to secure the best sanitary conditions within
and without every separate building.

New shower baths nave been placed in the basement of each of the
four family buildings, for use of the boys, which will certainly prove
a blessing to them, both as to health and comfort. Our visiting physi-
cian, Dr. Charles A. Wells, has always responded faithfully ana most
efficiently to our medical needs. His annual report will appear on
another page.

Many visitors from far and near have been received and entertained
at the school within the year. All have been welcome, as through

238 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

such friendly visitations opportunities are given for pleasant inter-
change of social and business experiences. While we have greatly
enjoyed these visits personally, it may be frankly admitted that we have
taken a still further interest in them, as they so often bring to us, or
influence the delivery through other sources, of many choice and well-
selected contributions to our boys' library. .These consist generally of
books, magazines, and miscellaneous publications — all acceptable, and
hereby thankfully acknowledged. Could the generous donors know
how much these gifts have been enjoyed similar favors would not be
withheld in the future.

Religious services have been conducted by ministers of the gospel
and otners, with but rare exceptions, on Sunday afternoons at the
usual hour, 3 o'clock. We hereby express our continued obligations
to all and to each, personally, who have thus aided us in these stated
religious exercises.

A Sunday-school session has also been held in each family school-
room at 10.30 a. m. The "International" lesson papers still furnish
the scriptural texts for these Sunday morning studies.

The past school year, in many of its most essential features, has
been but a duplicate of others that have already been given to the pub-
lic. It is gratifying to know that our work has been safely and satis-
factorily advancing in every separate department, and that our united
efforts, under Providence, have not been in vain.

Few changes have been made, as few have been required, in our
working force, while a commendable harmony has been prevalent
among all. To all who have been associated with me in the daily
progress of these official duties my thanks are due, and thus freely and
openly expressed. To these who, because of long and faithful service,
have been advanced to their present higher and more responsible posi-
tions I am doubly grateful.

In closing this my nineteenth annual report permit me, gentlemen,
members of the board of trustees, to again thank you very sincerely
for your ever present aid and counsel through all these years of service.

Respectfully submitted.

For the construction of an assembly hall, of $9,750 appropriation,
none was expended.

The only account outstanding is that of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company for difference between the rates allowed and paid
under existing law and those claimed by the company, amounting, to
June 30 last, to $291.66.

I have also received from the superintendent of the school during
the year, being income derived from the labor of inmates, sales of farm

Reform School, District of Columbia,

Washington, D. C., June 30, 1900.

Dear Sir: I am pleased to report that the health of the school for
the past year has been rather better than the average. We had one
case each of diphtheria and typhoid fever; 16 cases of measles, 3 of
which were complicated with pneumonia. It is interesting to note
that all of these three cases were boys from the South, who had not
become fully acclimated. There have been no deaths.

Unremitting attention is given to matters of cleanliness and ventila-
tion from basement to garret, and I have always had the courteous
assistance of everyone connected with the school in carrying out my
suggestions.

Exhibit M. — Report of the board of trustees of Reform School for

Girls of the District of Columbia.

Washington, D. C, October i, 1900.

Sir: Presenting herewith the eighth annual report, for the year
ending June 30, 1900, with the accompanying exhibits and reports of
the superintendent, treasurer, and visiting physician, the board of
trustees beg to say that the number of inmates of the school has been
on the average greater than in any previous year of its existence.
For a large part of the year the number has really been greater than
the convenient capacity of the building. The conduct or the girls at
the school and the general condition of the school have been satisfactory
during the year. The number of girls discharged, released, or inden-
tured, and of new girls received into the institution, with the other
details as to the number, movement, and status of inmates, are shown
on the first three pages of the superintendent's report, which covers
sufficiently the topics of the work done and the training and teaching
imparted at the school.

240 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

It is desirable to emphasize again, as was done in last year's report,
the number of girls between 18 and 21 years of age who have Deen
inmates for several years. Some of these girls have been out under
indenture and on probation once or twice, and have been returned
because of insubordination or untidiness, or unsatisfactory or depraved
conduct in other respects in the places which were found for them. The
record of these girls at the school has, however, been, on the whole,
excellent. No one of them could fairly be classed as a criminal. In
the school they are faithful, willing, and efficient workers, and they
are quite capable of earning their living outside by housework and
needlework. In retaining such girls in the school, for a successful
conduct of which a due and steady movement in and out is requisite,
many children who might be benefited by the care and training
are excluded. We believe that such girls as have been referred to
would work as they ought and would behave themselves in the places
found for them if they knew that instead of being sent back to the
school for misbehavior under their indentures they would be sent to
the jail or the workhouse after they reached the age of 18 years.
Something may be done in the solution of the problem by the impo-
sition of a more continuous industrial discipline when we are able to
enlarge the scheme of work of the institution so as to include some
simple forms of systematic and productive industry.

But in addition to this remedy it is obvious that the board of
trustees should be able, in a proper case and after due deliberation, to
obtain a transfer to the workhouse or the jail, either by their own
motion or order or upon an order of court, of a girl over 18 who, by
reason of criminality or indelible incorrigibility, is no longer a proper
subject for the school, and who may contaminate the other inmates.
On this point we also renew our recommendation, contained in the
report for last year, that the age limit of admission to the school
should be reduced from 18 to 16 years; and it seems to us that the
courts should be more careful in ascertaining the age of girls com-
mitted, since there is almost always dispute and disagreement upon
that subject between parents or guardians and girls themselves, and
the misrepresentation to the court of a girl's age may work and often
does work serious disadvantage to the school, the result being that
girls are admitted and entered on the records as several years younger
than they really are, and of course must be maintained at the school
that many years longer. We think, therefore, that scrupulous care
should be taken to have the court's action and the records based upon
accurate facts regarding age.

In this connection we bring to your attention the fact that on June
5, 1900, an act was passed enlarging the powers of the board of trus-
tees of the Boys' Reform School so as to provide, both in the way of
release on parole for good conduct and by disciplinary regulations
for bad conduct, for fuller authority and power of the board over the
inmates committed to their charge. This act, either in terms or with
such modifications as the inherent differences between the two schools
may suggest, and as are herein suggested concerning a transfer to a
more distinctly penal institution after the age of 18 years is reached,
should be extended to this school, and we have to request your earnest
and active efforts to aid us in obtaining the needed legislation from
Congress.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL 241

We repeat, too, the suggestion of previous reports that an amend-
ment to the acts affecting the Girls' Reform School be enacted by
which the approval requisite to an appointment of an officer by the
trustees shall come from yourself rather than from the District Com-
missioners, as the law provides at present.

The new building is now completed so far as the structure is con-
cerned, but the brick wall to inclose the yard, the connecting corridor
between the two buildings, and some items of equipment remain to be
built and supplied by the District Commissioners before the building
will be finished and ready to be opened and occupied. The expecta-
tion is that this work will be done so that the new building may be put
into use not later than Januarj^ 1 next. Some moderate repairs and
renovation of the old building will be necessary when the present
inmates of the school are moved into the new building, in order to fit
the old building for the reception of the similar class of white girls
who have not heretofore been received because there was no room for
them. No doubt the class of white girls in the District liable to be
sent to the school is less in number than the corresponding class of
colored girls, and the old building, having about half the capacity of
the new one, will be adapted and used for the white girls whom we
should receive.

The superintendent's report shows in detail the necessary repairs
and improvements which have been made during the year. The farm
has been more productive than in the past and all the vegetables used
at the school have been raised there, as well as chickens, eggs, and
sundry stock products.

Dr. W. W. Johnston, whose connection with and professional and
other services to the school have been of great value, resigned from
the board of trustees on November 22, 1899, owing to the demands of
his private affairs, and the vacancy so caused was filled by the election
of Mr. Fairfax Harrison.

The superintendent of the Washington Aqueduct has granted our
request for an allotment of Government land in the vicinity of the
school for additional pasturage for the cattle, upon condition that we
should fence and care for the tract assigned, and we have now a lot of
about 14 acres, less than a half mile away from the school, up the
Conduit road, which has been properly fenced and cleared up and
will be useful, not only for ample pasturage, but also for additional
planting ground for corn and potatoes.

The board is much pleased to report a continuance of efficient and
faithful service from the superintendent and her subordinates. To
them is largely due the good and improving record made in the admin-
istration and morale of the institution. With the occupation of the
new building we are confident that further and rapid advances will be
made, and that much will be achieved in the way of reduction of per
capita cost and of enlarging industrial and other wholesome influences
upon the girls.

The estimate of appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1902, is appended hereto as Exhibit B.

All of which is respectfully submitted for the board of trustees.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.

Reform School for Girls,

District of Columbia,
Washington, D. C. , June SO, 1900.

The President and Board of Trustees,

Reform School for Girls, District of Columbia.

Sirs: I have the honor to present this, the eighth annual report for
the Reform School for Girls of the District of Columbia.

July 1, 1899, there were present in this school 27 girls; June 30,
1900, 28 girls. The smallest number at one time was 21 girls (Decem-
ber 1) and the largest number 30 girls (on April 17, 1900j.

As we have room for only 27 girls and not wishing to nave two in a
single room, we have had to use the little hospital room and punish-
ment cell as bedrooms, and one little girl slept on a mattress on the
floor in the superintendent's bedroom.

We are glad to say the general conduct of the girls has been very
good during the past year, and there has been no spirit # of mutiny
shown in any case. Of course, there have been instances where girls
who have misbehaved have had to be punished, but the result has been
better behavior afterwards.

Five new girls have been received from the courts; three were com-
mitted by the president — former charges of the Board of Children's
Guardians.

One girl reached her majority May 25, and was finally released. Two
were released to parents or guardians. Six were indentured; of these,
one was returned for incorrigibility and two left the homes provided for
them and were afterwards taken by the police and returned to the school.
June 9 two girls who were working in the garden absconded, but were
captured and returned in six hours.

Of the girls indentured, I wish to call attention to the three who were
returned. One was released August 2, and returned February 15
because of impudence and bad manners. This girl was nearly 20 years
of age and would in a few weeks have received wages, but she said it
was so lonely out in the country and she would rather be back at the
school. She will have to remain here till next May. This is her sec-

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 245

ond term of probation outside, and both times returned because of her
insolence and ugly manners. She has been at the school since January,
1895, and has never been guilty of anything criminal, is honest, and a
capable houseworker, besides being an excellent needlewoman.

Another, who was admitted December, 1895, who had a bad reputa-
tion outside, but who made an excellent record here, was apprenticed
to a family in the city October 25, 1899. She seemed contented, but
the people did not seem to keep her up to the standard of neatness
maintained at the school. A sister enticed the girl away, and in a few
days she was found in one of the city alleys in an apparently uncon-
scious condition. She was visited by the school physician, who ordered
her sent to Freedmen's Hospital, where she remained ten days, when
she was returned to the school. She seemed glad to get back. This
girl is 18 years old and is one of the best girls in the school — a quiet,
steady, willing worker, always polite; rather frail, to be sure, but
never sick.

The third girl had been in the school fifteen months; made a good
record; was placed in a house on a large farm. We heard only the best
reports from and about her, and felt that this one at least was doing
very well. The last of January she left her home by night, and Feb-
ruary 22 was returned to the school pregnant. This is the first case
of this kind we have had in four years, and in the present condition of
the school she could not be kept entirely apart from the other girls.
On May 13 she was taken sick, moved to Garfield Hospital, where she
was delivered next day of a stillborn child, and after much suffering
died that evening. Her sudden death was a great shock to our girls,
and we believe it taught a lesson no words could ever do. The body
was brought back to the school, and a simple but appropriate funeral
service was held by Reverend Wiseman, and her boay was buried in
the little graveyard, where we purchased a lot over a year ago.

Within the past month a girl of 19, who has been in a home in the
city since November 12, 1898, and who was paid $10 per month wages,
has been returned.

These are the only girls who have been returned during the year,
but each and every one was capable of earning an honest living, and not
one of them could be classed as a criminal, yet they are back at the
school to remain till they reach their majority in one, two, or three
years' time. Many of our girls have no one who would support them,
and if they knew they had to work, or if they did wrong would have
to be sent to the jail or workhouse, they would be more anxious to do
well in earning an honest and respectable living. Surely the cases just
cited should prove an argument against keeping girls nere until tney
are 21 years of age.

We ao not wish to shirk our responsibility, and we realize that it is
a serious one, but we have no means at present by which to occupy the
time and attention of the girls, except the cooking, housework, laundry,
and sewing, and day school; and the law says these girls must remain
here until ref ormea or until they reach the age of 21 years, and no girl
is ever dismissed on probation until she has shown marked improve-
ment in her ways, yet nearly one-third of those dismissed are returned.

I would respectfully suggest that for these girls between 18 and 21
years of age who have been released on probation and returned by
reason of misconduct, some branch of industry — laundry work, fine
sewing, paper box, or mattress making — be adopted by which they

246

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

would earn at least part of their support, and that this class be kept
apart from the other inmates of the school. The new building is nearly
completed, and I believe that the time has now come when such a part
of the work could be successfully begun and carried forward.

We have had no case of illness during the year. Each new girl
received has been vaccinated. Dr. Brightwell, dentist, has visited the
school several times, examining the teeth of each girl and filling or
extracting as necessary. So we have had no suffering from toothache.

The work of the school has gone steadily forward, each officer and
employee doing her or his best to advance the standard of work done
in all departments and in working harmoniously together.

Good work has been done in the laundry, and an average of 90 pieces
for the officers and 400 for the girls has been laundered each week.

In the kitchen plain cooking of meats and vegetables, bread making,
preserving fruits and pickles, and caring for milk and making butter
are taught by the matron; also waiting on table, dishwashing, and
cleaning.

Through the kindness of Mrs. Baxter, of the bouse committee, a
teacher was sent out each week to teach the girls knitting, and nearly
every one has shown much interest in learning how to knit wash rags,
stockings, mittens, plain and fancy slippers, etc. A list of knit arti-
cles is appended.

The knitting was of great service in furnishing employment and
preserving order. During the long winter evenings we spent many
pleasant hours, the girls with their knitting, and one of the teachers
or a girl reading aloud some interesting book or story. The same plan
worked well in the sewing room, and many girls enjoyed good books
by hearing them read who either would not or could not read for
themselves.

In the sewing room the girls are taught the different kinds of hand
sewing — hemming, darning, buttonholes, hemstitching, etc. — and later
how to use a machine. A list of articles made is given below:

Five days in each week we have day school in the afternoon, in which
reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, history and geography, and
letter writing are taught. The majority of our girls come to us not
knowing even their letters sometimes, but usually in the first or sec-
ond grade. Very few are as far advanced as the fourth or fifth grades.

During the season the girls who work well in the house are allowed

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 247

to assist with the garden work, and it is gratifying to know the interest
taken and the labor bestowed to keep the weeds down and to help the
vegetables and fruit to grow, and they are proud to bring the good
things in.

With the exception of half an hour after breakfast and dinner, the
girls are kept busy all day, but after supper, at 6 p. m., they have
recreation for an hour and a half. In pleasant weather this time is
spent in the yard, where each one has a little flower bed, or in games.
The rustic summerhouse, built last year, has been a great comfort.

We had a nice Christmas tree and entertainment; besides this we
have had several concerts or entertainments, and as special rewards
for good behavior several trips to the Zoological Park; one to Great
Falls, chestnutting; several picnics in Virginia, etc. Frequently good
girls accompany the superintendent and other officers on trips to town
or market, and we take great pride in the fact that our girls have
proved trustworthy on these occasions. Some people might say these
girls have too good a time and too much liberty. We answer, we
believe in work for everybody, but we also believe in play of the right
sort after work has been finished, and though our girls are often noisy
over a game of football or croquet, the order in the house is better
for having had the vent.

We have a short religious service morning and evening, consisting
of songs, prayer, memory verses, or the bunday-school lesson, and
the best token that these services are of value is that they are missed
when a girl goes away.

We have had three changes in our staff during the year. John G.
Shaeffer, who had been overseer since March, 1896, resigned last
December, and Christian Nielsen was appointed in his place. The
engineer was changed in March. In May, Mrs. Barry, matron,
resigned, in order to be constantly with her sick sister, who died in a
few weeks, and Miss Neale was appointed in her place.

We are looking forward to occupying the new building with great
interest, and feel confident that with the increased capacity which it
will afford the cost per capita will be very materially reduced.

Some time since, the use as pasture of a piece of ground belonging
to the Washington Aqueduct was granted to us on condition that we
fence it properly. This will be done at once, and will be a great com-
fort, as we have never had pasture sufficient for the cows, and none at
all for the three horses.

We have not made many repairs or improvements during the year,
as the building we now occupy needs many things to be done before
we take the new girls in, and after we move into the new building this
can be better accomplished while this one is empty. All walls need
pointing up and painting; woodwork needs painting, and floors need
repairing. There is considerable plumbing to be done in order to put
this building in the condition we would like to see it in.

The few improvements made are as follows: Electric lights in the
summerhouse, put in by our engineer. The shed built last summer
inclosed on the fourth side and a floor put in. The pump house has
been painted. Our ice house has been reconstructed and enlarged.

Our supplies of dry goods, shoes, blankets, bedding, etc., are in good
condition and amount; also stock, farm implements, etc.

We raised all vegetables used during the past year and slaughtered
for use 15 hogs, 50 chickens, 4 calves.

248 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

During the year we had 500 dozen eggs, besides all the milk we
needed for the whole family.

We return grateful acknowledgment for the following favors and
donations to the school:

To the Commissioners of the District of Columbia and Fire Chief
Parish for two 2-horse wagon loads of manure each week, from Station
5 and Truck B. This is of value, as our land is very poor in quality.

To Major Sylvester and his assistants for prompt work in capturing
girls who have absconded from the school or from homes provided for
them; also in looking up the records and characters of persons wish-
ing to take our girls; also their relatives.

To Miss Briscoe and the faithful Christian workers from the dif-
ferent churches in the city who come each Sunday afternoon to hold
religious services. It is not always easy for them to get here, 4 miles
from town, especially during the winter, and sometimes irregularity
in the electric-car service.

These services are much enjoyed, and, we believe, do much to help
make our girls better, both now and in time to come.

To Mrs. Baxter, for many things besides her duties as a trustee. She
has liberally donated books, songs, dolls, goods, etc., and in April she
presented the school with a new organ, to the great delight of the
girls; also a croquet set.

To members of the board, for money, books, gifts, dress patterns,
games, workbaskets, football, etc., at Christmas time, given to the
school.

Very respectfully yours, Amy Jean Rule,

Superintendent.

physician's report.

Washington, D. C, August 11, 1900.
The Board of Trustees:

It gives me pleasure to be able to report to you the continued good
health of the inmates of the school.

A recent inspection of the premises showed them to be in excellent
sanitary condition; and, further, the personal hygiene of each girl is
evidently most carefully and intelligently looked after by the superin-
tendent, Miss Rule.

Very respectfully, F. P. Vale.

250 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

Exhibit N. — Report of the warden of the United States jail in the

District of Columbia.

United States Jail,
Washington, D. C., October 31, 1900.

Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith my annual report of this
jail for the year ending October 31, 1900, and to call attention to the
subjoined report of the physician to the jail, and that of the clerk.

In reporting the sanitary condition of the jail, the health of the
inmates, deaths, etc., I take pleasure in referring you to the report of
Dr. D. K. Shute, physician to the jail. I also refer you to tabulated
statement showing the number of prisoners sentenced to jail for long
terms, and I still oelieve that the law should be so changed that such
prisoners could be sent to the penitentiary, so that they might have
work to perform, believing that it would be better for their well-being
and physical condition.

FINANCIAL.

Notwithstanding the prevailing high prices for supplies for the jail
during the present year, we believe the economy practiced will over-
come the prevailing high prices so that we may be able to keep within
the appropriation for the same. During the past year the daily cost
per capita for food for prisoners was 9 cents. During the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1900, the daily per capita cost, including subsistence,
repairs, forage, live stock, sanitary, advertising and printing, clothing,
tobacco, bedding, stationery, convict stationery, fuel, lignt, officers'
salaries, etc., was 34£ cents, and the annual per capita cost was $127.29.
It is almost without exception the rule that when a prisoner remains
in jail for any length of time he goes away weighing more than when
he came in.

During the past two years small sums of money have come into my
hands from time to time from the sale of old barrels and bones, aggre-

iting the sum of $100, which sum I have turned over to the United
itates Treasurer, taking his receipt for same.

VISITING.

Under the rules of my predecessor visiting was allowed in the jail
to the extent that, in my judgment, it became a system of loafing with
the prisoners. It will be noticed by former reports that visitors to
the number of 17,500 were permitted to visit the jail during the year.
There have been during this year 3,029 prisoners visited and 2,539
visitors to see prisoners. The rule now is that persons can visit pris-
oners in the jail provided they do so upon a matter of business of some
sort. The management reserves the right to judge whether the bus-
iness is of any importance to the prisoner or to the visitor. The man-
agement only requires the visitor to state the nature of the business,
and not the particulars. We are confident that since this rule has
been enforced, the prisoners are more obedient, and less punishment
of prisoners has been necessary.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES.

I wish to inform the Department that religious services are being
conducted in the jail on each Sabbath by three distinct denominations,

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 251

the Catholic denomination holding services during the morning hours,
the Colored Baptist Association nolding services from 12 m. until 1
p. m., and the Wesley Chapel Association holding services from 3 until
4 p. m. We believe these services are productive of good results, and
in this connection we desire to thank all those who have taken such
deep interest in the spiritual welfare of those who are confined in the
jail, and to invite a continuance of these services.

CONCLUSION.

With rare exceptions all subordinate officers have performed their
several duties faithfully and well. I am under deep obligations to the
chief justice and the associate justices of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia for exceedingly kind treatment; and also Gen.
Thomas H. Anderson, United States attorney for the District of
Columbia, and officers connected with his office, for most respectful
treatment; and I desire to thank the officers of the Department of Jus-
tice for uniform courtesies shown me.
Very respectfully,

James H. Harris,
Warden United States Jail, District of Columbia.

The Attorney-General,

Department of Justice, Washington-, D. O.

physician's report.

United States Jail,
Washington, D. C, October SI, 1900.

Dear Sir: I respectfully submit my report for the year ending Octo-
ber 31, 1900, on trie medical conduct of the jail.

There were 3 deaths by legal hangings and 1 death due to pulmo-
nary tuberculosis. One prisoner had a severe attack of erysipelas,
from which he recovered. Large numbers of prisoners came to the
jail with quite severe forms of venereal diseases, the majority of whom
are cured and all greatly relieved. There were reports on the physi-
cal condition of 31 of the prisoners, and the mental condition of 16 of
the prisoners was reported upon. Seven prisoners were removed to
the Government Hospital for Insane on account of insanity. Three
prisoners were removed to a hospital for surgical operation on account
of the severity of the cases and lack of facilities for operating in the
jail. The operations were entirely successful. Several operations
of minor character were performed in the jail with successful results.
Many other prisoners were treated for minor complaints.

I am pleased to report that the malarial fever among the officers and
prisoners of the jail during the past year has not been nearly so severe
as during preceding years, although a great many cases occurred in the
jail. It is probable that this is due, to a large extent, to the fact that
screens have been put in all the lower portions of the windows through-
out the jail, thereby excluding large numbers of mosquitos, which
hitherto have been the carriers of malaria. Since there has been so
great a reduction in the malarial fever, due to this simple procedure,

252

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

I would suggest that it would be wise, some time before next spring,
to put screens in the upper part of the windows also, thus making the
exclusion of mosquitos and flies still more effective, and thus tending
to promote the health and welfare of officers and prisoners alike.

It gives me pleasure to report that under the unremitting care and
diligence of the warden the cleanliness and sanitary condition of the
jail throughout the year have been in exceedingly first-class condition.
The greatest care has been exercised in cleansing the cells and corri-
dors Dy whitewashing them, and other procedures. There can be no
doubt that the good health of a large majority of the prisoners and
officers while in the jail is due to the thorough care that has been exer-
cised in supervising the sanitary condition of the jail.
Very respectfully,

D. K. Shute, M. D. ,
Physician to the United States Jail, District of Columbia.

Warden United States Jail, District of Columbia.

^ Exhibit O. — Report of the Architect of the Capitol.

Architect's Office, United States Capitol,

Washington, D. C. , September 29, 1900.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit the following in relation to repairs
to court-house, District of Columbia, for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1900:

General repairs have been made to this building during the past
year consisting of work on the roof and a considerable amount of
painting and touching up in the various rooms; papering the rooms of
the court of appeals and the private room attached thereto; papering
the district attorney's room; repairing the heating and ventilating
apparatus and plumbing throughout the building.

Many doors and windows have been repaired. Standpipes with
water-supply connections and suitable amount of hose for each floor
have been installed for use in case of fire.

The general condition of the court-house, owing to the insufficient
appropriations for its care, led this office to recommend and urge the
appropriation of $4,348.50, to be made immediately available, for the
correction of the deficiencies in ventilation of the court-house rooms,
painting corridors and rooms, and for the necessary care and painting
of the exterior portion of the old structures. This recommendation
resulted in an appropriation for the immediate needs of the court-
house, and at the date of this report arrangements have been made to
carry on the work above mentioned, some of which is now under way.

A detailed report will be submitted with my next annual report. I
would moat earnestly recommend that an appropriation of $3,000 be

The Attorney-General of the United States.

Exhibit P. — Report of the attorney in charge of pardons.

Washington, D. C, July i, 1900.

Sir: I respectfully submit the following report of the work of this
office during the year ending June 30, 1900:

During the year 728 pardon cases were acted upon, which arose as
follows:

Of the 81 unconditional pardons granted 32 were granted solely on
account of the ill health of the applicants.

The pardons for desertion from the Navy were granted upon the
recommendations of the Secretar}^ of the Navy.

Applications for pardon to restore civil rights are not considered
until after the applicants have complied with the sentences of the court.
In each of the 43 cases where pardons were granted to restore civil
rights a considerable period had elapsed after the applicant had been
discharged from prison, or had otherwise complied with the sentence
of the court, and before his application was considered, and his good
conduct was certified to by the people among whom he had lived after
his release from prison.

The statement immediately following shows the names of all per-
sons convicted in the United States courts who were the recipients of
Executive clemency during the fiscal year. This statement snows the
districts where the applicants were tried, when and of what offenses
convicted, the recommendations made by the Attorney-General, the
nature of the action of the President, and the dates of such action.
Respectfully,

James S. Easbt-Smith,

Pardon Attorney.

The Attorney-General.

312 REPORT OP THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

Exhibit Q. — Report of the special attorney for the Mission Indians.

Riverside, Cal. , November 8, 1900.
Hon. John W. Griggs,

Attorney- General, Washington, D. C.

Pursuant to your request of date September 28, 1900, I submit the
following report of matters under my charge as special attorney of
the Mission Indians of southern California:

I.

As shown by my last report, I have in charge a suit pending between
the Roman Catholic bishop of Monterey, a corporation sole, as plaintiff,
v. Salomon Cota and others, defendants. This action is brought by
the bishop of Monterey for the purpose of determining and establish-
ing, as between the plaintiff and the band or village of Mission Indians
known as the Santa Ynez Indians, the rights of the respective parties
in two parcels of land, containing in all 11,500 acres and being por-
tions of the Canada de los Pinos, or College Rancho, situated in the
county of Santa Barbara and State of California.

At the date of my last report I confidently expected that this matter
would have been disposed of long prior to this date. As shown by my
last report, there were a number of Indians at that date not yet served
with summons by the plaintiff in the case, and two or three of the
individual Indians made parties defendant had appeared in the action
and set up separate and individual claims as against the bishop.
Plaintiff's attorneys advised me that these defenses made by individ-
uals could be disposed of in a summary way, by motion, and their
answers stricken out. It seems, however, that they were not able to
so dispose of these defendants, but have been compelled to submit the
issues made to the court for consideration, and, as I am advised, this
has not yet been done.

I have had frequent correspondence with counsel representing the
bishop and have been urging them to prosecute the matter as rapidly
as possible to the end that we may have the title of the Indians settled
and adjusted and a decree entered in accordance with the stipulation
and agreement heretofore made between the bishop and the Indian
agent. The matters, however, which have caused the delay are not
under my control, and I am compelled to await the action of the attor-
neys of the plaintiff.

II.

At the date of my last report I had under consideration the matter
of the rights of the Indians of the Agua Caliente Reservation at Palm
Springs to the use of water for domestic and irrigation purposes in a
certain ditch and other water sources claimed by the Palm Springs
Water Company, a corporation. I continued my correspondence with
the president of the Palm Springs Water Company subsequent to my
last report, and later, Mr. M. F. Holland, as special agent of the In-
dian Department, called on me for information in regard to the con-
troversy between the Palm Springs Water Company and the Indians,
and I furnished him all the data and information I could with
reference to the controversy, and also arranged with him, in case a
conference was brought about between himself and the president of
the water company, to meet, at Los Angeles with them for the purpose
of considering the difficulties and attempting to arrive at a satisfac-
tory conclusion.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 313

On the 9th day of August, 1900, I was notified by Mr. Holland that
a meeting had been arranged at Los Angeles to be held in the office
of the district attorney, Mr. F. P. Flint, and I attended and had a
conference with Mr. H. J. McCallum, president of the Palm Springs
Water Company, Mr. Holland, and Mr. Flint together, and went over
the facts of the situation as fully as it was known to us after my for-
mer investigations, and left the matter for further consideration
between Mr. Holland and the president of the Palm Springs Water
Company, who further advised me subsequently that he had reported
the result of his conference to the Department, but I have not been
advised further as to what the outcome of the investigation and con-
ference was.

I can only say that in view of the fact that our last three seasons
have been so dry, and water sources have failed so materially in this
section, that the Palm Springs Water Company, at the date of the
controversy, and from personal examination made by Mr. Holland,
seem to have very little water for use for any purposes, and were dis-
puting very little water to which on behalf of the Indians we could
make any substantial claim.

III.

Subsequent to my last report, and on or about the 10th day of May,
1900, I was advised by the Indian agent, Dr. L. A. Wright, that the
rights of the Indians on the La Jolla Reservation in San Diego County
were being violated in that their highway leading from the reservation
to their trading village was being obstructed and interfered with by
a property owner, one Mendenhall, owning land entirely sur-
rounded by lands of the reservation, and I was requested by the agent
to visit San Diego, the county seat of said county, for the purpose of
considering legal questions relating to the rights of the Indians with
the district attorney of San Diego County, to the end that he might
give the board of supervisors of said county advice with reference to
the rights of the Indians. I accompanied the Indian agent to San
Diego, had a conference with the district attorney with reference to
legal questions involved, and we agreed as to the matter of legal
rights, and the controversy was left in the hands of the Indian agent
and the property holder for the purpose of adjustment and settlement
according to our determination of these legal questions.

That on the 20th day of November, 1900, I was also advised by the
Indian agent to visit the Temecula Indian Reservation for the pur-
pose of investigating a difficulty arising between the Indians and one
Jacob Ludy, owning lands adjoining the reservation, and who, it was
claimed, was so constructing his fences as to obstruct the highways
formerly used by the Indians and leading from their reservation to
the village of Temecula.

I spent some days in making this visit, one of the days being spent
at the reservation examining the condition of affairs and ascertain-
ing the facts relative to the ancient highways used by the Indians for
the purpose of reaching the village. I fully advised myself as to the
records in San Deigo and Riverside counties bearing upon the ques-
tion, and after making this investigation, and at a later date, I again
visited the reservation and had a conference with Mr. Jacob Ludy,
the party obstructing their highways with fences, and after submit-
ting the matter to him and calling his attention to the tcvj& ^fe^ss^ss^

314 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

lie removed his fences and opened the highways satisfactorily to the
Indians and the Indian agent, I agreeing to take the necessary steps
before the board of supervisors of Riverside County to have the road
legally established as a public highway and an old road abandoned
which he desired to and had closed by the construction of his
improvements.

V.

That on or about the 14th day of September, 1900, the Indian agent
at San Jacinto, Dr. Wright, requested me to make a visit to the agency
for the purpose of investigating and advising him with reference to
the death of one of the Mission Indians, which had occurred in the
county of San Diego some time before, and about which the Indians
in the vicinity of La Jolla and Rincon reservations were very greatly
excited and disturbed, several committees of Indians having visited
the agency for the purpose of submitting facts to the Indian agent,
claiming that the Indian found dead had met with a violent death,
and believing that some prosecution should be instituted for the pur-
pose of bringing the offenders to justice, and further claiming that
the authorities of San Diego County had taken no steps to investigate
the facts. That the deceased Indian, one Ohoa, had been buried
without investigation by the coroner or otherwise.

I went to San Jacinto, visited the agency, examined all the state-
ments which had been made and taken in writing by the agent, and
examined all the documents and correspondence of friends of the
Indians had with the agent, to the end that the Indians might be sat-
isfied as to the condition of affairs, and made a written report to the
agent that he might carry with him and submit to the captain of the
Indians on the reservation, to the effect that I did not believe, from
all the statements made, and the evidence which had been produced
up to that time, there was any reasonable ground for a criminal pros-
ecution against anyone, and that the evidence as submitted would not
be sufficient to secure a conviction of murder against any person or
persons suspicioned of the offense, and that, in my judgment, the offi-
cials of San Diego County would be fully justified in refusing to insti-
tute proceedings for that purpose; and for the use of the Indian agent
among the Indians I set out very fully my reasons, so that he might
make full explanation to the captain and other Indians, and satisfy
them that all had been done under the circumstances which could be
done legally.

VI.

During the year past my letter book shows correspondence covering
175 pages, relating to matters pertaining to the welfare of the Indians,
all of which correspondence I keep separate. These letters are in
answer to inquiries of parties made in behalf of the Indians, and in
many instances written by teachers of day schools on the reservations,
seeking information in regard to the descent of their lands which have
been allotted to them under the allotment acts, boundaries of their
reservations, controversies with adjoining owners as to stock trespass-
ing on the reservations, filings on Government land under allotment
acts and homestead laws, and as to legal proceedings in prosecutions
being had by the local authorities in other counties against Indians.

While some of these matters are not strictly within my duties, yet
in all such cases I have been very careful to furnish all the informa-
tion I could, and see that if Indians were arrested by local authori-

ties for offenses that they were properly defended under appointment
of attorneys made by the local courts. I am also called upon fre-
quently, both by correspondence and personally, by the Indian agent
for suggestions and advice as to matters coming within his jurisdic-
tion, to all of which I give attention promptly.

VII.

In closing this report, which is exceedingly brief, considering the
time given and attention given to matters which have been submitted
to me, I desire to make this suggestion with reference to the allotment
of lands among the Mission Indians of southern California.

I have visited most of their reservations, and I think all of those
where allotments have been made, and from my knowledge of the
land and the complications which will arise in the next twenty-five
years as to titles, I do not believe that any good to the Indians can be
accomplished by these allotments. I have no knowledge whatever of
conditions in other parts of the country, and it is no doubt true that
there awe localities where, from the nature of the land and uses to
which it can be applied by reason of rainfall and other climatic con-
ditions, the land can be allotted successfully and to the advantage of
the Indians, but in this locality and by reason of the character of the
reservation, the barrenness of the soil without irrigation and the want
of water for irrigation, as well as the difficulties in the management
of it among the Indians themselves, and further by reason of the veiy
loose domestic relations of the Indians, and great difficulties arising
from tracing their relationship, it will result in innumerable compli-
cations, and practically no substantial good to the Indians.

They have their own methods of dividing the land among them-
selves where it is held in common, and in case of controversy they
usually look upon the Indian agent as authorized to settle their diffi-
culties, and as a rule they abide by his decisions after investiga-
tion, so that they, for all practical purposes, allot the land among
themselves; and I believe that, from the present school system among
the Indians, at the expiration of twenty-five years there will be very
few occupying these reservations, and such as may remain will be so
prepared by the present school system of education that if it is the
purpose and desire of the Government to give them lands in severalty
they will be better prepared to take charge of and properly look after
their interests. I find at present the older ones on these reservations
to whom lands have been allotted are very poor, have no means to
proceed in our courts for the purpose of establishing their rights, and
by our laws of descent, and I do not know of a single instance where
after the death of Indians to whom lands have been allotted probate
proceedings have been instituted by them for the purpose of securing
through the courts the proper distribution of the lands allotted, of
course, subject to the provisions of the allotment act.

In a number of instances they have applied to me for the purpose
of ascertaining their rights in lands as the heirs of deceased parties,
and I have in every instance proposed and stood ready to carry the
probate proceedings through court if they would furnish the money
simply necessary to pay the costs, which in our procedure would not
in any case exceed $15 or $20, but not a single one has ever been able
to raise money enough to pay these expenses.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

William Collier,
Special Atty. for the Mission Indians of Southern CalifoKvan**

386 JiKi'OUT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

EXHIBIT U. — Report on bankruptcy matters.

Department of Justice, November 19, 1900.

The Attorney-General.

Sir: The act of July 1, 1898, "establishing a uniform system of
bankruptcy throughout the United States," the fourth law on this
subject enacted by Congress, has now been in operation so far as its
voluntary feature is concerned about two years and three months
and the involuntary feature one year and eleven months. Sufficient
time has elapsed, therefore, to give a fair idea of its practical opera-
tion.

To the end, therefore, that compliance might be had with sections
53 and 54 of the law requiring an annual report from the Attorney-
General, blanks for semiannual reports were sent to the clerks of the
various courts of bankruptcy for their own use and for the use of the
referees in their respective districts. Such reports have been received
from the clerks of courts of every judicial district except the district
of Alaska, the western district of Louisiana, and the eastern district of
Virginia, who, for some unaccountable reason, have neglected to com-
ply with the directions of this office in that respect. Reports have also
been received from about 600 referees. While some of these reports
are defective owing to the lack of uniformity in keeping records, they
are sufficiently full to disclose much valuable information, and the
result amply compensates for the great amount of labor incident to
their tabulation, which, as heretofore, has been enormous.

voluntary cases.

As stated in the last report, advantage is being taken of the law by
men of all classes and in all walks of life, and in every section of the
country.

The States showing the greatest number of petitions filed during the
year are, viz: Illinois, with 2,707 petitions in the northern district and
301 in the southern, making a total of 3,008 for the State; New York,
with 1,031 in th§ northern district, 364 in the eastern, 1,290 in the
southern, and 322 in the western, making a total for the State of 3,007;
Iowa, with 497 in the northern district and 495 in the southern, mak-
ing a total for the State of 992; Ohio, 428 in the northern district and
429 in the southern, making a total for the State of 857; Minnesota,
845; Pennsylvania, with 327 in the eastern district and 482 in the west-
ern, making a total for the State of 809.

The smallest number of voluntary petitions were filed in the follow-
ing States; Nevada, 6; Delaware and Wyoming, 12 each; Idaho, 30;
South Carolina, 37; Oklahoma, 39; Florida, 67, and Rhode Island, 68.

The grand total of petitions filed in the United States for the period
ending September 30, 1900, is 20,128, exclusive of those for the west-
ern district of Louisiana, the district of Alaska, and for half of the
year for the southern district of Georgia, New Jersey, the eastern dis-
trict of North Carolina, the western district of Tennessee, and the
eastern district of Virginia, from which semiannual reports were not
received.

From the clerks' reports it appears that of the voluntary petitions
all were adjudicated bankrupt except 237, in which the petitions were
dismissed, and that discharges were refused in 71 cases. Compositions
were confirmed in 206 cases,

(

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 387

LIABILITIES AND ASSETS.

The liabilities in 19,540 voluntary cases reported by the referees
amounted to $264,979,152, while the total amount of assets scheduled
in these cases was $33,098,771.

The summary also discloses the fact that of the petitions filed, in 86
cases the liabilities were less than $100; in 1,879 cases, between $100
and $500; in 2,256 cases, between $500 and $1,000; in 7,861 cases,
between $1,000 and $5,000; in 2,941 cases, between $5, 000 and $10,000;
in 1,872 cases, between $10,000 and $20,000, and in 2,191 casqs, more
than $20,000. These reports also show that in 11,107 cases assets were
scheduled, while 7,917 petitioners had no assets.

NATURE OF BUSINESS.

The nature of the business in which the petitioning bankrupts were
engaged, as disclosed by the summary of the referees' reports, is pro-
portioned as follows: 2,057 were farmers, 7,516 wage earners, 4,592
merchants, 361 manufacturers, 509 professional men, and 4,435 con-
tractors, hotel keepers, and others of a miscellaneous character.

INVOLUNTARY PETITIONS.

During the past year the clerks' reports disclose that 1,810 petitions
were filed, of which adjudications were made in all except 285 cases,
which were refused and the petitions dismissed. Of the involuntary
cases, 50 compositions were entered into by the bankrupts and their
creditors, which were confirmed.

LIABILITIES AND ASSETS.

The liabilities involved in 1,242 cases upon which reports were made
were $27,179,001, while the assets scheduled were $13,433,209. In 200
cases no assets were scheduled, and in a number they were classed as
unknown or nominal.

NATURE OF BUSINESS.

The petitions further show that of those adjudicated involuntary
bankrupts 64 were wage-earners, 694 merchants, 102 manufacturers,
9 professional men, 366 miscellaneous, and 7 farmers. While under
the law a farmer or wage-earner can not be adjudicated an involun-
tary bankrupt, it is quite probable that they were engaged in other
callings at the time of the adjudication and the debts were incurred
while employed in one of the excepted pursuits or otherwise.

FEES AND EXPENSES.

An effort has been made to obtain some definite data which would
show the expenses incident to the prosecution of suits in bankruptcy,
but owing to the fact that the record of some of the fees is kept by the
clerk of the court and others by the referee, it has been extremely
difficult, and the results are not entirely satisfactory. But, as was
stated in the report for last year, it is quite evident that the expenses
are reduced to a minimum, and, if anything, are in many cases inade-
quate for the character of work required. This is particularly true
with reference to the fee for the referee and trustee. The filing fee
required to be deposited with the clerk of the court is $25, of which
$10 is for the clerk, $10 for the referee, and $5 for the trustee. In
2,301 cases this filing fee was not paid, but the petitions were filed in
forma pauper is, while in 689 cases the fee was paid subsequently to
the filing of the petition, out of after-acquired property or after-dis-
covered assets, which is permitted under the rules promulgated by
the Supreme Court.

388 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

CASES CLOSED.

Iii order that some more definite information might be obtained of
the assets and liabilities than was disclosed by the petitions and
schedules, the referees were required to furnish data of cases closed
during the year. An examination of such data covering 12,339 cases
shows total assets of $13,925,656, while the liabilities of the same
were $177,090,513.

THE PRACTICAL OPERATION OF THE LAW.

During the past year there has been no material change in the busi-
ness transacted from that in the year previous. The magnitude of
the business under the voluntary feature of the law seems large, yet
we are constrained to believe that a good percentage is made up of
old insolvents and, unless business conditions materially change, a
considerable decrease of suits of this character should shortly follow.

There has been an increase of a little more than 300 petitions under
the involuntary feature of the law which is quite significant in con-
nection with the impression heretofore current that the law has fav-
ored the debtor rather than the creditor. This demonstrates that the
creditor interest is developing more confidence in the statute and is
accordingly utilizing its provisions more freely than heretofore. From
this increase, however, it should not be inferred that it is bearing
unduly heavily upon the debtor, but merely that its advantages are
being better understood by the creditor class. It may be safely said
that the magnitude of this business, as here indicated, is not indica-
tive that the country is any worse off than prior to the enactment of
the Federal bankruptcy law, but merely that its equable and just fea-
tures are being used in place of the more stringent and harsh meas-
ures of the various State insolvent laws.

The fact that the amount of assets distributed in the cases that
have been closed approximates 8 per cent of the liabilities goes a long
way to refute the oft-repeated saying that no assets are scheduled in
these cases. As has been stated in previous reports, many of the
present applicants for relief under the law are those of old insolvents
and those against whom judgments have been kept alive, who are now
seeking to obtain a fresh start in life. In many of the cases the assets
are large, but the rate per cent of dividends is materially reduced by
reason of the fact that there were 7,917 voluntary cases in which no
assets were scheduled.

Since the necessity of perfecting the law by amendatory legislation
is a matter of common knowledge, we are constrained to reiterate the
recommendations heretofore made, especially in one or two particulars,
although such action may perhaps not be within our province. While
it would doubtless not be well to urge any sweeping amendment, in
my judgment Congress should give its attention to the provision cov-
ered by section ' ' 57 g " of the law, which has been variously interpreted
by the courts, the weight of the authority — included within which are
two circuit courts of appeals — sustaining the position that payments
on account made within four months must first be surrendered before
the balance of the claim of the creditor to whom such payment has
been made can be proved and allowed, which is meeting with almost
universal disapproval on the part of the commercial community.

Section 23 with reference to the jurisdiction of the courts over suits
between the trustee and adverse claimants, the Supreme Court has
recently held, restricts the trustee in bringing such actions to the State
courts unless the defendant consents to its being brought in the Federal

>

court, thus substituting the slower machinery of the State court for that
of the more expeditious methods provided by the Federal law. This
should be amended so that the trustee may have the right to bring his
suit originally in the Federal court without the consent of t He defendant.

Section 14 of the law with reference to discharges should be amended
so that a debtor will be prevented from repeatedly and fraudulently
availing himself of its advantages, by placing some restriction upon
the exercise of such right, such as requiring his assets to bear a cer-
tain ratio to his liabilities upon each subsequent application, so that
his original discharge may be granted without assets upon a proper
showing, though, upon his second, third, or subsequent applications,
his assets should be, say, 25, 50, or 75 per cent of his liabilities. This
is far preferable to any hard and fixed rule refusing a second discharge
to any unfortunate debtor within a fixed period, as has been variously
suggested.

While there are other amendments that might properly be suggested,
these seem to us to be the most important and are creating the greatest
discussion.

In conclusion, we "may be permitted to reiterate what is a matter of
common knowledge, that is, without doubt the law is meeting with
uniform satisfaction. The only discontent that is evident arises from
the same sources that originally opposed the enactment of the law.
There can be no doubt that its equable provision, both as to the vol-
untary and the involuntary features, is to the great advantage of the
merchants of the country, but does militate to the disadvantage of a
few immense establishments, who, with their net work of legal retain-
ers throughout the country, are able to keep in touch with the finan-
cial condition of their creditors and upon the first intimation of
insolvency secure and protect themselves, often forcing the debtor
into insolvency who may be but temporarily embarrassed, and which
may now be avoided. The present law places everyone upon an
equality. The small creditor as well as the large must share pari
passu in the estate so that there is no longer that race of diligence in
obtaining attachment and other proceedings. Outside of this, in this
day of electricity and steam, which have brought the extremes of the
country and its- newly acquired territories so closely together, the
advice of counsel is no longer restricted to his particular county or
State, but may be called for upon questions arising to-day in the
Philippine Islands, to-morrow in Porto Rico, and the next day at New
Orleans, and uniformity in laws has, therefore, become almost a
necessity. The great legal organizations throughout our lands recog-
nizing this fact are clamoring for the enactment of such legislation, and
if for no other reason than this, the law is meeting a much-desired end.

It is needless for me to recite the numerous resolutions on the part
of the National Association of Credit Men and bar associations of
note throughout our country in approbation of the law and as
expressive of the favorable views of those most closely interested in
its maintenance, since they are all matters of common history.

Attached thereto are the following exhibits:

Exhibit A is> a summary of reports from the clerks of the various
courts of bankruptcy.

Exhibit B is a summary of the reports of referees in voluntary cases.

Exhibit C is a summary of the reports of referees in involuntary cases.

Exhibit D is a summary of the reports of referees of cases closed
during the year.

Very respectfully, E. C. Brandenburg,

In charge of bankruptcy matters.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 401

Exhibit Y.— Report of the commission to revise and codify the crimi-
nal ana penal laws of the United States.

Washington, D. C, November 15, 1900.

Sir: The commission to revise and codify the criminal and penal
laws of the United States respectfully report as follows:

With our annual report, bearing date November 10, 1899, we submitted
a revision and codification of those chapters of the Revised Statutes
which relate to the organization and jurisdiction of the courts of the
United States. This was transmitted by you to Congress and referred
to the Committees on the Judiciary. Owing to the pressure of more
urgent matters, these committees did not find it practicable to enter
upon an examination of the report, and in the Senate a motion was
adopted that it be returned through you to the commission for the
purpose of hearing suggestions from bar associations and others.

In furtherance of this object we addressed a communication to the
bar associations of the several States and a number of the principal
cities of the Union, as follows :

Washington, D. C, August 6, 1900.

Dear Sir: An act of Congress approved March 3, 1899, provided that "It shall
be the duty of the commission appointed to revise and codify the criminal and
penal laws of the United States to revise and codify the laws concerning the
jurisdiction and practice of the courts of the United States, including the judi-
ciary act, the acts in amendment thereof and supplementary thereto, and all acts
providing for the removal, appeal, and transfer of causes."

In pursuance of this provision the commission reported to the Attorney-General,
in December last, a revision of those chapters of the judiciary title concerning the
organization and jurisdiction of the courts, which was printed as Senate docu-
ment No. 49, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. In March, on the
motion of Senator Hoar, chairman of the committee, this report was returned to
the commission. In explanation of this action Mr. Hoar said:

" The commission made only a partial report. The American Bar Association
and the Bar Association of Cincinnati and other associations have desired a hear-
ing upon some matters connected with this report. The bar associations of sev-
eral other cities, I think including St. Louis— at any rate including, 1 know, Phila-
delphia and one or two others — Chicago— are taking steps with a view to appointing
committees to be heard. It is absolutely out of the question that a subject which
will occasion so much debate shall be dealt with by the Senate at the present ses-
sion of Congress. * * * We think it best, therefore, that the commission shall
hear these communications from the bar associations and make their report com-
plete before the Senate shall take it up for action."

This language indicates that the Committee on the Judiciary will not be dis-
posed to grant hearings respecting the work of the commission after it shall have
been reported. It is the purpose of this communication to direct attention to the
importance of action by the oar associations of the Union in aid of the labors of
the commission. The entire subject of the organization of the courts of the
United States and their procedure is now open, and may not be again for many
years. This consideration alone is sufficient to justify the expectation that the
intelligence and experience of the bar will be enlisted in contributing to the per-
fection of the work now in hand; and it is earnestly requested that your associa-
tion will forward suggestions in this behalf; or the commission will be pleased to
fix a date for a conference with any representatives of your association who may
desire to be heard. As it is our desire to complete our labors at the earliest possi-
ble date, we take the liberty of suggesting that you refer the matter to an appro-
priate committee, or appoint a special committee for the purpose.

Among the changes in the present statutes respecting United States courts that
were embraced in the report submitted as mentioned, or have since been favora-
bly considered by the commission, are the following:

1. The consolidation of all original jurisdiction in the district courts.

2. Provision for additional district judges in those districts where they will be
needed to insure the prompt transaction of business.

3. That the circuit courts be made the intermediate courts of review instead of
the circuit courts of appeals.

H. Doc. 9 26

402 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

4. That the circuit courts shall consist of the Justice of the Supreme Court
assigned to the circuit and two circuit judges or three circuit judges.

5. That an additional circuit judge be appointed each for the first and fourth
circuits, so that each circuit shall have three circuit judges.

6. That the circuit judges be relieved of duties at nisi prius.

7. That the salaries of judges be increased as follows: Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, $15,500; associate justices, $15,000; circuit judges, $9,000; dis-
trict judges, $7,500.

8. A uniform system of appeals to the circuit courts and the Supreme Court of
the United States from the courts of last resort in the Territories.

A number of changes of minor importance have been drafted with a view to
embodying them in the revision, and among these are provisions for the employ-
ment of stenographers for the district courts, the service of venires by registered
letter, an amendment to the laws relating to appeals in habeas corpus, etc.

In addition to the above the abolition of the writ of error, simplification of
forms of indictments, and the reform of chancery practice are questions upon
which an expression of views is respectfully solicited.

Yours, respectfully, A. C. Botkin.

D. K. Watson.
W. D. Bynum.

The replies thus far received, while they show that the work of the
commission does not fail to excite interest, are not prolific in answers
to the specific matters upon which we especially requested an expres-
sion of views or in suggestions of other changes in existing laws.
This is presumably due in part to the activities of an absorbing polit-
ical campaign, and we do not abandon the hope that the bar associa-
tions and individual members of the profession will yet manifest a
disposition to cooperate in the task which has been devolved upon this
commission in relation to the organization and practice of our Federal
courts.

Since the submission of our previous report, which was limited to
those chapters of the Revised Statutes which relate to the organization
and jurisdiction of the courts of the United States, we have revised
the remaining chapters of the judiciary title and also the one on extra-
dition, which it is believed may more properly be taken up in this
connection than separated, as it is in the present Revised Statutes.
In the revision of chapter 18, entitled "Procedure," we are firmly
convinced of the importance of changes of a somewhat radical nature.
The United States is behind nearly all of the States, and notably of
England and her colonies, in the reformation of the practice of its
courts. A simple, and perhaps the best, expedient would be to con-
form the practice of the United States courts in all respects to that of
the States in which they are respectively held; but an obstacle to this
is found in the decisions of the Supreme Court that the Constitution
recognizes and establishes the distinction between law and equity as
defined in that country from which we derive our knowledge of these
principles. Nevertheless it is competent for Congress to introduce
material reforms in the interest of convenience, simplicity, and uni-
formity. We regard the embodiment of such reforms in the revision
as the most important duty that has been devolved upon this commis-
sion, and realize in a high degree the benefit and assistance we would
receive from the opinions of the bench and bar. In the expectation
that such expressions will soon be furnished, we have not deemed it
desirable to conclude our labors on this subject for submission
herewith.

In embodying under the appropriate chapters the laws passed by
the present Congress establishing courts for Porto Rico and Hawaii
we have observed certain omissions or ambiguities, which it is to be
feared may lead to embarrassment or more serious results.

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 403

Section 33 of the act " temporarily to provide revenues and a civil
government for Porto Rico, and for other purposes," approved April
12, 1900, confirms the authority of existing tribunals, which may be
here designated as the Territorial courts. Section 34 establishes a dis-
trict court with the jurisdiction of district and circuit courts of the
United States, and provides "that the laws of the United States relat-
ing to appeals, writs of error and certiorari, removal of causes, and
other matters and proceedings as between the courts of the United
States and the courts of the several States shall govern in such matters
and proceedings as between the district court of the United States and
the courts of Porto Rico." Section 35 is as follows:

That writs of error and appeals from the final decisions of the supreme court of
Porto Rico and the district court of the United States shall be allowed, and may
be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States in the same manner and under
the same regulations and in the same cases as from the supreme courts of the Ter-
ritories of the United States; and such writs of error and appeal shall be allowed
in all cases where the Constitution of the United States or a treaty thereof or an
act of Congress is brought in question and a right claimed thereunder is denied, etc.

There is no provision for appeals to the circuit court of appeals,
and it would follow that in a large class of cases there would be no
means of review whatever. This would be a manifest hardship, espe-
cially in cases determined by the district court of the United States,
which is presided over by a single judge. The concluding clause of
the above seems to be a limitation upon the language preceding, and
the effect would be to bar appeals in certain cases in which they are
now allowed from the supreme courts of the Territories of the United
States.

Section 81 of an act "to provide a government for the Territory of
Hawaii," approved April 30, 1900, provides that the judicial power of
the Territory shall be vested in one supreme court, a circuit court, and
in such inferior courts as the legislature may from time to time estab-
lish. Section 86 establishes a district court with the jurisdiction of
district and circuit courts of the United States, and provides as follows :

Writs of error and appeals from said district court shall be had and allowed to
the circuit court of appeals in the ninth judicial circuit in the same manner as
writs of error and appeals are allowed from circuit courts to circuit courts of
appeals as provided by law, and the laws of the United States relating to juries
and jury trials shal be applicable to said district courts. The laws of the United
States relating to appeals, writs of error, removal of causes, and other matters and
proceedings as between the courts of the United States and the courts of the sev-
eral States shall govern in such matters and proceedings as between the courts of
the United SStates and the courts of the Territory of Hawaii.

No express provision is found in the above authorizing appeals in
any case from the district court to the Supreme Court of the United
States, an omission which it is believed could not have been inten-
tional. Neither is it certain that the language of the sentence last
quoted confers any right of appeal from the supreme court of
Hawaii to the circuit court of appeals or to the Supreme Court of the
United States, and the act contains no other provision on the subject;
yet it is scarcely to be presumed that Congress meant to deny to that
Territory a right that is enjoyed by all others.

In the revision which we will submit an effort will be made to reduce
appeals and writs of error from the courts of all the Territories to the
courts of the United States to a uniform system, which is now want-
ing; but in the meantime we direct attention to the above matters, in
the conviction that Congress may see fit to remedy the defects men-
tioned without further delay.

404 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

The revision and codification of the criminal and penal laws of the
United States has been substantially completed, lacking only some
additions to the marginal references to cases construing the text, and
a final examination with a view to a more proportionate adjustment
of penalties. A grave embarrassment was found in the progress of
the work in a cause to which your attention has already been directed.
In the titles relating to customs, internal revenue, pensions, and
numerous others, penal provisions are found so connected with non-
penal provisions that their separation is a task of great difficulty.
Months of labor have been expended in this behalf, but it can not be
said that the result is satisfactory. In a number of States all laws
imposing penalties have been collected in a single code, and there
are not wanting considerations in support of such an arrangement.
This involves, however, corresponding changes in the non-penal stat-
utes which would only be practicable by means of a general revision.

During the first session of the present Congress a bill was intro-
duced "to provide for the revision and codification of the permanent
and general laws of the United States." This was considered by the
Committee on the Revision of the Laws, who reported it favorably to
the House of Representatives, and it unanimously passed that body.
Upon being transmitted to the Senate it was referred to the Committee
on Revision, and it is presumed that it will be reported by that com-
mittee at an early day of the approaching session.

The importance of the work proposed by the pending bill has been
strongly impressed upon us in the course of our labors. The revision
of the general and permanent laws of the United States, which was
passed by Congress on the 22d day of June, 1874, embraced the
statutes of the United States of a general and permanent nature in force
on the 1st day of December, 1873. A second edition was published
under the editorship of Hon. George S. Boutwell, which included laws
of a general and permanent nature in force on the 4th of March, 1877.
In the twenty-three years that have intervened there has been more
general legislation enacted by Congress than during the entire preced-
ing history of the Government under the Constitution. The conse-
quent condition of the statutes is such that it is practically impossible
for a layman to determine what the law is on any given subject, while
to practitioners it is often a task of serious difficulty. Again, the stat-
ute books are encumbered with a mass of provisions, some of which
are obsolete or redundant, and others conflicting. It is a manifest
desideratum that such provisions should be eliminated or reconciled.

There are laws now in force providing for a revision of the criminal
and penal laws, the laws relating to the organization, jurisdiction, and
practice of the United States courts, and the laws concerning patents
and copyrights, while a bill is pending for -a revision of the pension
laws. It is respectfully submitted that a fragmentary revision must
fail in the object to be sought, and can only serve to add further ele-
ments of confusion to the present chaos of our statutory law.

As the pending bill provides for the revision and codification of all
general laws of the United States, its passage by Congress would
materially affect our labors in the revision of the criminal and penal
laws, notably as to the arrangement, and also in other important
respects. We have deemed it expedient, therefore, to postpone tie
completion and submission of the report, and pursue our work in other
directions, in the expectation that Congress will soon manifest its will
in the premises.

REPORT OP THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 405

The revision of the criminal and penal laws of the United States
was the purpose for which this commission was originally constituted.
It has been delayed, first, by the act of Congress authorizing the com-
mission to prepare a system of statutory laws for the district of Alaska,
and second, by the act directing us to revise the laws relating to the
organization, jurisdiction, and practice of United States courts. Each
of these additional duties consumed considerable time, notwithstand-
ing which the original work of the commission has been pressed for-
ward with all possible diligence. In view of the fact that there will
necessarily be a considerable interval before the result of our labors
can become a law, we feel justified in calling attention to the follow-
ing condition, to the end that Congress may, in the meantime, provide
a remedy if it shall seo fit:

Section 3 of the act of March 3, 1825, provided "that if any offense
shall be committed in any of the places aforesaid, the punishment of
which offense is not especially provided for by any law of the United
States, such offense shall, upon conviction in any court of the United
States having cognizance thereof, be liable to and receive the same
punishment as the laws of the State in which such fort, dock yard,
navy-yard, arsenal, armory, magazine, or other place ceded as afore-
said is situated provide for the like offense when committed within
the body of any county of such State." The terms "in any of the
places aforesaid" and " ceded as aforesaid " referred to the first and
second sections of the same act, which provide for the punishment of
specific offenses against the laws of the United States when committed
in any place or needful building of the United States the site whereof
is ceded to and under the jurisdiction of the United States.

In United States v. Paul (6 Peters, 141) the court held that the
words "the same punishment as the laws of the State in which said
fort," etc., "ceded as aforesaid is situated" are to be limited to the
laws of the several States. in force at the time of the enactment of the
statute. Following that decision the circuit court for the southern
district of New York held, in United States v. Barney et al. (5 Blatch.,
294), that the law quoted was confined to offenses committed in places
the sites whereof had been ceded to and were under the jurisdiction
of the United States at the time of its enactment. This decision was
rendered in February, 1866, and it was presumably in consequence of
that decision that Congress passed the act of April 5, 1866, inserting
the words "or may hereafter be" before the words "ceded to and
under the jurisdiction," etc. The law just mentioned is section 5391
of the Revised Statutes.

Later, another infirmity was found in the act, in the fact that it did
not apply to places over which jurisdiction had been retained by the
United States, as in the case of many of the Indian and military res-
ervations. This was sought to be cured by the act of July 7, 1898 (30
Stat. L., 717), but in the act last mentioned the words "or may here-
after be " are omitted. It follows that the section can not be invoked
as to an offense committed in a place ceded to the United States since
the date of that act. The suggestion is respectfully submitted that
Congress may wisely supply this omission, which may serve to give
immunity to crimes of a grave nature.

The codes for the district of Alaska which were prepared by this
commission, after having been considered by the two Houses of Con-
gress, have been passed and received the approval of the President,
the criminal code and the code of criminal procedure on the 3d of

406 REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

March, 1899, and the civil code and the code of civil procedure oti the
6th of June, 1900. Information from members of the bench and bar
and other citizens of Alaska is to the effect that these codes have been
found highly convenient and efficient in operation, and that few, if
any, changes are deemed to be desirable.

Hon. David B. Culberson, a member of this commission, died at his
home in Jefferson, Tex., on the 9th of May, 1900. A minute of his life
and public services was ordered to be entered upon the journal of the
commission, as follows:

That we learn with profound regret of the death of Hon. David B.
Culberson, a member of this commission, which occurred at Jeffer-
son, Tex., on the 9th of May, 1900. The deceased was born in Troup
County, Ga., on the 29th of September, 1830. He was educated at
Brown wood, in that State, and studied law under Chief Justice
Chilton, of Alabama. In 1856 he removed to Texas, and in 1859 was
elected a member of the legislature of that State. As a member of
the convention of 1861 he voted against the ordinance for the secession
of Texas. Later he entered the Confederate army, and was promoted
to the rank of colonel of the Eighteenth Texas Infantry. In 1864 he
was assigned to duty as adjutant-general of the State, and in the
same year was again elected a member of the State legislature. In
1874 he was chosen a Member of the Forty-fourth Congress, and
served in pursuance of successive reelections to the close of the Fifty-
fourth Congress, a period of twenty-two years. For six years he was
chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary. He was appointed
a member of this commission at its first organization, and was serving
in that capacity at the time of his death. His late associates enter
this memorial on the journal in expression of their personal regard
and of their high appreciation of his superior ability, his thorough
and comprehensive learning, his nobility of character, and the invalu-
able services that he contributed to the performance of the responsible
duties visited upon the commission.
