Sui-re.na Court Decides AgRlust Debs.
Washington. May 27. The Uni
ted States supremo court today de
nied the application ot Eugene .
Debs, the strike leader, for a writ
of habeas corpus. The conclusions
of the court were that the govern
ment of the United states has juris
diction over every foot of soil and
over every individual within the
boundaries of the United States,
and that, while it is one W lim
ited powers, it has sovereignty
.vitl.in these limitations. It has
the power to invoke the civil court,
to remove obstructions to interstate
commerce, and tho civil courts
have the right to enjoin those who
make obstructions t such com
merce. The injunction was no bar
to criminal processes for acts done
i ,. violation of the injunction. The
circuit court, having final jurisdic
tion, its act was not reviewable v
the supreme court on the petition
for a writ of habeas corpus, and,
therefore, tho writ was denied.
