MOORE A FREE MAN. THE OPINION OF THE SUPRfcMh COURT HANDED DOWN. rhf I'hlimrgt' of KmhriKloumit !>*•»• mlMfil mihI fIm* Iviuditor Im (ilvc*ii UU Liberty—A Majority of the *Iu» fliTi Concur, •Imlge MiiIIIihii .Hour |>ln* denting. The Moore Cone Mettled. The supremo court on the 16th handed down a decision In the case of ex-8tate Auditor Eugene Moore, re versing the judgment of the district court of Lancaster county, In which he was held to be guilty of embezzling $23,208.05 money received by him as state auditor as fees from insurance companies, and which he had failed to turn over. Moore, after serving for four years as state auditor, was short some $28, 000 when he wpnt out of office in Jan uary, 1897. He paid $4,500, reducing the shortage to the first named sum. The money had been received as fees from Insurance companies. The syllabus of the majority opinion is as follows: Moore vs. State, syllabus Article 3, section 24, of the constitution provid ing that the officers of the executive deparment "shall not receive to their own use any fees, costs, interest on public moneys In their hands or 'n their control, perquisites of office or other compensation and all fees that may here after he payable by law for services to lie performed by an officer, provided for In tills article of the con Htltiitlon, shall he paid in advance Into the state treasury,” not only prohibits such officers front receiving such fees to their own use, hut also prohibits all executive officers except state treas urer from receiving fees at all, and re quires the payment in advance into whom they are payable. Second -Complied statutes, chapter 43, section 32. adopted In 1873, and re iat'ng to fees paid by insurance com panies for services performed by the auditor, was so far modified by thecon stltution of 1875 as to require such fees to be paid in advance into the treasury and to prohibit the auditor from receiving them. Third—When the penal statute Is . made to apply only to a certain eia«:> of persons, the description of the class 's so far descriptive of the offense, and that the person charged is within the class Is a substantive element of the crime itself." Fourth—Section 124 of the criminal code, relating to the embezzlement of public moneys, applies only to officers or persons charged by law with the collection, receipt safe keeping, trans fer or disbursement of public money, and those who aid or abet such offices or persons. Fifth—The auditor of public ac counts is not as such officer charged with the collection, receipt, safe keep ing, transfer or disbursement of any part of the public moneys, and lie Is, therfore, not within the descriptive terms of seet'on 124 of the criminal code. Sixth—III order to punish one as for a crime, the offense must be within the plain Import of these words of the statute creating or defining the crime. An offense not within the words can not he adjudged a crime because with in the reason or spirit; and th's prin ciple cannot be evaded by holding that one performing acts which are de nounced as a crime when committed by a particular class of persons, is estopped from denying that he is within that class. The court holds that the doctrine of estoppel is not rightly invoked in the criminal class. The decision also em phasizes the rule that executive offi cers of the state have no right to col lest fees for services performed by them as such officers, but that these fees must be paid to the state treas urer. Judge Sullivan dissents from this, and in his opinion agrees wtji the others that the constitution which pro hibits executive state officers from re ceiving fees not only repeals that part . the old statute which authorized j the auditor to appropriate the insur ance fees to his own use, and that it also repeals that port’on of the stat ute which authorizes hint to receive such fees for any purpose. « Icargril With How stealing.

InirillKHtiiiK the fthlp* WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Secretary la»ng and Assistant Day of the State department hail an Interview with the president which lasted nearly an hour. Mr. Day read a telegram from Consul General Dee at Havana transmitting a request from the Spanish authorities in Cuba that the Spanish officials be permitted to Join witli our people in making an investigation into the cause of the disaster to the Maine. The matter was discussed ut consider able length and the conclusion was reached and General Dee will lie so not'(led that while this government is willing to afford the Spanish au thorities all reasonable facilities for conducting an investigation, yet it is thought best the (list Inquiry shall lie made Ity our own commissioners The request of the Spanish author'ties therefore will be respectfully declined. The request of the Spanish govern ment for permission to examine the wreck of the Maine reached the State department through the following message from Consul General l.ee at Havana: "Slgsbee begins tomorrow with div ers sent him from the Cnltcd States to recover all the bodies still left lit he wreck of the Maine, as well as per sonal effect:! of officers and men and whatever else c-n lie obtained that way. After that ‘s completed the Spanish government would like to unite v/iili ours In having the bottom of the ship and harbor In the vicinity jointly examined." The following is the answer sent from Washington: "The government of the United States has already begun an In vest! i?:if nri sih to f 11 «* 4 of f fi<* diunu ter to the Maine, through officers of he navy eseclally appointed for that purpose, which will proceed indefi nitely. This government will afford every faeillty It eat) to the Spanish authorities In whatever Investigation they may see fit to make upon their part.” DAY. The apparent difficulty attending the sending down of the divers to the Maine was relieved, If not entirely re moved, l,y a statement today by Senor du B< e. charge d’affaires of the Span ish legation, that a complete and har monious understanding between Cap tain Sigsbee and the author!! es at Havana had been reached on the mat ter of divers and that the Spanish au thorities viewed the Maine as extra territorial, that is. a part of the sov ereign territory of the United State's, the same as a. United States legation i tuated ’n foreign territory. With the Maine holding Its status as extra territorial, all doubts ns to the work on the wreck was removed. The waters of Havana harbor are, of course, Spanish territory, and some confusion hus been arouse bv the Idea that tills Jurisdiction over the waters attached also to the wreck In Its pre sent helpless condition in the bottom r,f the hay. It appears, however, that there ‘s no disposition to extend this jurisdiction to the ship ami that the Spanish authorities freelv assent to | the Maine being regarded as extra territorial. and under the Immediate direction of Cantain Sigsbee, as re presentative of the Un'ted States. Ac cording to the view taken by the Spanish authoiities there can be no trouble attending the work of the div ers. Captain Sigsbee will be recognized as the one to direct operations and to send down the government divers for such Insnection as he sees proper to make. Mr. du Bose feels assured however, that Captain Sigsbee will extend equal facilities to the Spanish divers, so that the inspection may pro ceed together. As to what divers Cap tain Sigsbee will employ, the feeling I among the Spanish officials here is I that this will be wholly a matter of i discretion with Captain Sigsbee as 1 the one in charge of a piece of proner ! ty having the attributes of American I soil. But at the same time the feeling i is expressed that this discretion will j lead to the choice of authorized divers ! of the navy department rather than those representing newspapers.
