Schuylkill Jurist, About to Leave
Bench, in Blaze of Lime?
light.
Pottsville, Pu., December 10.?Arthur
U Shay, presiding: Judgo of ihe Schuyl?
kill county courts, who will preside (or
tho lest tiino next Monday, rotlres (rum
the bench In an uuonvlublc hlazo of
limelight. Not for years save tho
members of tho bar been so stlrrod us
by a denunciation of Judgo Shay's so-,
called "secret compact" with Judge
Buchtel, dellvcrod by John T. Lenahan, 1
uf WUkoMbarrc, boforu thu Superior
Court this week.
Judges Shay und Bechtel for years
huv.j so invariably Indorsed each other's
acts that there woro frequent rumo.'s
of a working agreement between them.
But no one thought that If there wu'tt
such a compact there would over bo all
official announcement of It from the'
bench. However, on November 8, Jui'jfa
bhoy, who had been recalled by tin? i
Republican voters, In rendering em
opinion backing up Judge Bechtcl's fto
oreo granting a <livorcc to Dr. J. C.j
Blddle, said:
"I informed Judge Bechtel that he 1
should go on and decide the case, and 1
whatover conclusion he arrived ut Ii
would abide by as the decision of the
court."
"You can search tho history of Ju?
risprudence for centuries In vain to
Und anything equul to this,*' declared ?
Lenahan, whllu the Superior Court i
Judge listened Intently. "Think of it! I
A president Judge makes a compact In j
udvancc to Indorse the action of a col?
league. In a caso In which the president
judgo admits his knows nothing of the
testimony or tho arguments! There's
nothing comparable to this In the an?
nuls of Christendom."
It was suppoaed Shay's opinion would
bolster up thu decree of Judge Bech?
tel, who tiled u decision granting Dr.
Blddle a divorce, while Judge Brumm
tiled un opposite uccreo, refusing a
divorce, but inutead of giving the Buch?
tel decreo tho weight of tho majority
uf the* Judges, it has served lu casi
i uspicion on the wholo case. Senator
Snyder, a close friend of Dr. Blddle,
who aclud as muater in the divorce pro?
ceedings, against the protest of Mrs.
Blddle. was criticized by Lenahau al?
most as sharply as Judge Shay.
Lonahan and William Wilhelm, coun?
sel for Mrs. Blddle. decluro their c?h-1
lldcncti In a complete victory for their
client, who has for two years been
'?ghting the efforts of her wealthy hus?
band to secur? a divorce on the grounds
uf cruel and barbarous treatment. In

of meetings of depositors, at which
there was unc.vplulucd enthusiasm and
praise for William R. Montgomery, the
president! who was subsequently sent
to King Sing for not less than two I
years und two months for larceny of'
the bank's funds. ?
The source of the applause remained

New Yorker Arrested in Ger?

Twenty-five Years Ago.
Berlin, December 10.?If Josoph Hlb
bolen, a, wealthy German who lives In
the United States, hud suppressed his
longing to rovlstt bile fatherland he
would not now be facing- a charge of
murder committed twenty-six years
ago. He was arrested this week Just
after crossing- the frontier Into Ger?
many, .j
The story Is as strange as any wild
fiction that ever appoarod between yel?
low paper covers. Urlclly It is this: j
Hibbelen and a companion named Vogt
wer* caught poaching one night a
Quarten of a century ago at Kleinon
hcrg. near Minden, Westphalia. In re?
sisting arrest the poachers shot and
mortally wounded one of ehe Em?
peror's gamekoapers. The gamekeeper
had Just enough strength left to write
IMc poachers' names on a loose sheet
of paper, using a bit of wood and his
own blood In lieu of pen and Ink.
Vogt was caught and condemned to
Imprisonment for life. Hibbelen escaped,
reached America, took another name,
and acquired wealth His home for
soma years has been In New York.
After more than twenty-five years' ab
sence, he decided it was safe to re- j
turn to Germany.
The criminal police here renew ;d the
warrant for Hibbelen each year, so
that he was arrested Immediately on ]
his return, and will be placed on trial. !
The page the gamekeeper wrote In
blood, which suffice,! to eon-.'lct Vogt, j
remains as evidence agalnnt Hibbelen,
and will. It Is believed, convict hl in. I

any' one, anywhere a cat that Is aj

fe.t and make the kill In twenty See?
ons or better? Well, there is a chance
to make a match between that cat
und a Kansas rooster, thai is Rome
rsousc-cutcher himself.
Harry Maddux, Assistant City En?
gineer at Wichita, is the owner of the
reester, and ho has sent a challengo
to the Kansas poultry and pet show,
to be held In Topeka this month, to
match his rooster against any roomer,
size, breed, -color, age and any other
condition waived, or any breed or kind
of cat. and make a little side bet that
Ills rooster will catch a mouse und
kill It In quicker time than any other
rooBter or any other cat In the State
of Kansas.
After tho poultry and pet stock
show, Mr. Maddux Intends to Issue a
challenge to the "United States for
match races between his', rooster and
any rooster or cat at any poultry or
pet stock show In the United States
ror mouse catching races, under al?
most any cond'lions, the winner to
take per cent, of the gate receipts,
and also make a little side bet.
"You can talk about roosters that
lay eggs and hens that crow, but I
have the one best bet In the freak
chicken line." said Mr. Maddux. "That
rooster is just as much a rnouuor as
any cut. He delights in the chase of
the little rodents- He seems to smell
mice around, and will watch for hours
for a mouse to come out of a hole.
It doesn't make any difference about
tho size of the mouse That rooster
Will get him."

VIRGINIA FARMER
IS KILLED BY GAS
Found Dead in Washington
Rooming House From
Asphyxiation.
Washington. I). C, December 10.?
Stonewall Jackson Campt.%11, a farmer,
wbo lived near ttroad Hun, Va.. was
accidentally asphyxiated last night in
a third floor room of the Potts room?
ing house, at Seventh Street and New
York Avenue.
Harry Gardner, employed at the
place, detected gas while going through
thu hallway at 8:30 o'clock this morn?
ing. He opened the door and found
Campbell dead. Ho was fifty-five
years old.
Coroner Nevett visited tho room
later. Hu said death was accidental,
so far as he could determine, and that
an inquest was not necessary.
Campbell came to Washington yes?
terday from Thoroughfare Uap with
two horses, a cow and u calf. Tho
horses were delivered to J. M. Poake,
manager of the Portland Stablea, on
Seventh Street'. The cow and calf hud!
tired out on the way and Campbell
left them at Fairfax Courthouse.
Campbell frequently had visited both
the stable and the rooming house
when In Washington. Mr. Peak? was
well acquainted with him and notified
a brother, u bridge tender, of the
death.
Harry Gardner, who found the body,
said he went to Campbell's room with
ham Saturday night about lu:30 o'clock.
"He had not been drinking, and
when we got up to the room I showed
him how to turn out the gas," he said.
"He either blew out the gas or elso
didn't turn It entirely off." t
A search of Campbell's pockets re?
vealed 93 cents.
"He seemed perfectly contented."
said Fred Potts. "lie was telling me
about what he was going to do tills
morning, and said that he had u 'stop?
per' with him that ho was going to
tako out for a little trip around
Washington Monument."

Arbitration Treaties Would Have |
No Bearing on These
Debts.
OPINION OF WILLIAMS
Question Not National, and
Therefore Could Not Be?
come International.
[Special to TTrrTtr<ea-DIspatch.]
Washington, December 10.?"X do not!
believe that the United States could
or would submit to arbitration tho
question of Stute debts."
This positive statement was made
by Senator John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, when discussing tho pend?
ing arbitration treaties with franco
and Great Urltaln. It was not an off?
hand declaration, but made after a
careful study of the documents. Sena?
tor Williams, when a mombor of tho
House- of Representatives, served a
long time on the Foreign Affairs Com?
mittee, and has always given duo at?
tention to International ufl'alrs. Asked
for a moro dcllnito statement on the
subject of the arbitration treaties as
they rclato to the old Stale claims,
Henutor Williams ould:
"1 do not bellcvu the United Stales
could submit a State debt to arbitra?
tion, because it Is not a national ques?
tion, and therefore could not become
an international one. The arbitration
treaties as proposed refor in the first
place to 'questions hereafter arising.
Thut, It seems to me, would put a
quietus on Uie question. Secondly, it
refers to 'International' matters, and
then in the third place, It says that If
'either country ahull suggest that a
proposed question Is not justiciable.
It shall bo referred to the 'Joint high
commission of Inquiry,' three of whom
would be Americans, and that unless
that commission decides unanimously,
or unless ull but one of them decide
that a question Is justiatable, that it
will not be so under tho treaty. If
you will notlco tho language In article
1, which Is, 'os may be decided by spe?
cial agreement,' you will sec that It
refers back, and by referring back,
you will lind that In each case tho
special agreement will 'define the
scope" of the power of the arbitrators
and win 'dcllnu the question or ques?
tions at issue.' 1 cannot conceive that
the United States Senate in dcllulug
the scope of tho power of the arbitra?
tors, or in defining the question or
questions at issue, would define a ques?
tion of State debt to be within their
'scope.' or at 'Issue.' This Is especial?
ly of importance, because in the next
to the lust clause of article 1, It Is
recited thai 'the special agreement in
each cose shall be made upon the part
of the United States, by nnd with tho
advice und consent of tho Senate.' I
can't conceive that two-thirds of tho
United States Senate while 'dclinlng
tho scope' of tho power of the arbitra?
tors, or thu question or, questions ut
Issue, would over submit the Monroe
Dootrlne. or any plinsu of it, or would
ever submit the question of Japanese
or Chinese immigration, or would over
submit the question of State debts.
Acts Only on Request.
"Remember that the joint high com?
mission bus no power to do anything
except 'upon the request of clther
party,' to make an 'Impartial and con?
scientious Investigation' and report
concerning any controversy between
the parties, and even then the lan?
guage Is that only *lf all, or all but
one of the commission' agree and re?
port that sucli difference is within the
scope of arUclo 1, It shall be referred
10 arbitration 'In accordance with the
provisions of this treaty.' By re?
ferring back to the languago of ar?
ticle 1, you will find what the words
'In accordance 'with the provisions of
this treaty' mean, to wit: that It Is
to be arbitrated 'either by tho per?
manent court at The Ilaguo' or by
some other arbitral tribunal 'as may
be decided upon In each oaso by spe?
cial agreement,' which 'special agree?
ment.' you will remember. In the lan?
guage of the treaty shall be mude on
the part of the United States, by the
President of the United States, by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate. Now, the Senate while giving
its consent detincs the scope, etc., as
1 have stated.
"In my opinion, the joint high com?
mission is the most valuable part of
tho treaty proposed: not because or
what It can do, but because of what it
can delay. It gives time; 'cooling
time;' because the. (list clause in ar?
ticle 2 provides that a reference to
the. commission, even when requestod
by one of the parties, 'may bo post?
poned' by the other, or 'by either' for
a whole year after the date of the
formal request In order, to use the
language of the treaty, 'to afford an
opportunity for diplomatic discussion
and adjustment.'
"1 do not believe that any government
can submit to arbitration any question
except It be a question constituting "a
difference' between Itself and another
government. There never was any
question between tho United States
and any other government concerning
debts duo by a Slate to its bondhold?
ers. In the lirst place, the United
States was not the debtor, and If thorc

be foreign bondholders who feel out?
raged by the action of any ' of tho
States in refusing to pay reconstruo
tlon or any other debts, thorc is 'a
difference' betwnon them and the State
which refused to pay, bvit no 'differ?
ence.' 'Justlclablo' or otherwise, be?
tween theni and the United States, so
that if any arbitration on this ques?
tion wus over to be had, it would be
by a board ovoked and agroed upon
by tho State and the bondholders, who
uro 'tho parties at difference.' That
sort of arbitration may now bo had
at any time when tho two 'parties at
difference' agree to havo it. The In?
tervention of the United States would
not only not be necessary, but would
be at once absurd und Insolent.
"You will notice that Oroat Britain|
expressly reserves her 'self-governing'
colonies' out of the terms of the treaty,
except In the event that the self-gov-i
crnlng colony shall become a party toj
It. Tho treaty expressly provides that;
'when a question shall arise affecting
Iho interests of a aolf-governfng do?
minion,' that dominion shall bo con?
sulted. It was not necessary for us
to make that provision as to our
States, because a written Constitution
lenown to tin; diplomatic unlvorsc al?
ready makes it by limiting tho sub?
jects over which wo as a Federal gov?
ernment have jurisdiction.
Can't Illud tbr State.
"But suppose tho United States gov?
ernment did undertake to submit to!
arbitration tho question concerning I
tbe debts in Iowa, Pennsylvania, North'
Carolina or Mississippi'.' It could In
no way bind tho State. It could only',
bind the Federal government and could!
bind it only to pay a donation. Of
course, In a certain sense the Federal:
government could agree to pay any
amount of money to any foreign pow?
er, Just as it agreed to give Spain $20,
000.000. If the Federal government |
was so fond of tho friondship of onej
foreign power that it was willing to
pay the debt of some State to bond?
holders of the State residing within
the territory of that foreign power, It
would bo simply a free gift of money.
There would be no way under 'law and
equity,' or any other way, to get It
back from the Stute, nor would it be
either legnlly or morally binding upon!
the Stato to repay it, unless the State!
had consented to the arbitration and!
had made itself a party to It.
"To resume rapidly; the people of
the United States who are glvlngj
thomselves so much trouble over the
subject of tho arbitration of Stato
rlebtH under the proposed treaty pro-!
sump, first, thut two out of the three'
American commissioners would agrco
that the question was 'justlfioablc
They presume, secondly, that two
thirds of tho Senate in providing for
'the special agreement' and in 'denn?
ing the scope' of the arbitration would
consent to tho arbitration of such a,
question. They presume In the third'
place that if all that happened, Con-1
gress would make tho appropriation.!
In addition to that, they have pre-!
supposed ahead of It all that this'
would ho 'a question horoaftor aris?
ing." and further that in some way a,,'
question of difference between a State'
and its bondholders would bo, or could i
bo, 'a question of difference." between j
the United States and Its bondholders.1
"There Is one other point: the. ob-|
Jertion is made to the treaty that 'the
prerogatives of the Senato are 3ur-,
rounded.' If you will read the treaty,!
you will sen that they are not. Tho |
objection is made that tho United'
States 'surrenders Its sovereignty' to;
a certain extent. Of course. It is true)
that whenever any government makes!
a treaty It-surrenders Its sovereignty1,
to the extent of surrendering the
sovereign right vested In Congress to
make war, concerning tho question |
settled by tho treaty, or If It be a
treaty or arbitration, concerning the
question to bo arbitrated.
"I heard one Senator very foolish-,
ly say that 'this treaty would bo a
surrender of the right of Congross to
declare war.' livery friendly treaty,
settling a difference is that; but tho;
constitutional right of Cong rasa to de?
clare war is no higher and is no more'
precious right than tho constitutional j
right of the President and the Senate
by treaty to prevent war."
