Judge Hydrick Declares No Jurisdiction in Seminole Case
Report from Columbia South Carolina dated January 16 states Judge Hydrick ruled he had no jurisdiction as discharge receivers appointed by Judge Watts for the Seminole Securities Company. The decision followed arguments on whether Judge Watts’ authority was lost by the return of resident judge Ernest Gary to the circuit. The order was signed after deliberation. Also from January 18, President Roosevelt declined to attend the tariff convention in Indianapolis on February 28, citing no wish to interfere with his successor’s duties and noting prior support for a general tariff policy. Births exceeded deaths in France for the first six months of 1908, with 66,080 more births than deaths, due to stricter health laws and Sygtene regulations, compared to 1801 levels.
