Convocation of lutisr ‘
lie Gave It to Lawyer Hugh 6.
Miller In Court. and Received
a Virginia iialort~Was Told
“Serves You flight"
m
The New York papers of this morn-
Ing contained a highly interesting
story of an encounter between Anth-
ony Comatock. who heads the Society
for the Suppression of Viva, and Hugh
Gordon, Miller a young lawyer
in his younger days, Mr. Comstock
was a resident of Norwalk, and Attor—
ney Miller is the man who thrilled a
big audience at Hoyt’s Theatre in the
1903 presidential campaign. I
According to the article which was
printed in the Times. Comsiock was
hit three times and was told by court
unicorn. “Serves you right.‘-...lt was
alleged that he gave Lawyer Miller
the lie In
a Virginia retort.
'The account of the assault on Com.
tocks mods as follows:
Anthony Comatock, head of the So-
ciety for the Suppression of Vice, was
a witness at a hearing before United
States Commissioner Shields yester-
day. When he emerged from the
Commissioner’s office his left eye was
in mourning, his hat badly shattered.
and there was a red spot on his lower
jaw, midway betwoen his ample side
whiskers. Mr. Comstock said he had
been ins lied.
it till a about because Mr. Com-
stock called Hugh Gordon Miller. of
the law firm of Marx & Miller. a liar.
Mr..,Mliier comes from Virginia. He
did what he had been taught. in his
home State, was the right thing to do.
For two hours afterwards Mr. Com-
stock sought to obtain a warrant for
Mr. Miller’s arrest on charges of as’
salt and contempt of court. but he,
found no sympathy. Mr. Cometock is
much bigger than Mr. Miller.
Mr. Comatock. who Is a United Stu-
tes Post Office Inspector with a salary
of $1 per annum, was present at the
hearing as a. witness against Ernest.
Richards 'of 236 West Thirty-fourth
street. "who was accused of using the
malls for improper purposes. Mr. Mil-
ler appeared as counsel for the defend-
ant. in arguing for an adjourn-
ment he declared that Mr. Comstock
had made his client the victim of a
conspiracy and allowed the other do
fendants to escape.
“That's a lie." exclaimed Mr. Comv
stock, interrupting the argument.
An‘electric shock seemed to run
through the frame of the young law-
yer. He sprang at Mr. Comstock with
the agility of a toreador. Some of the
history that was made in the next two
seconds was made more rapidly than
it can be recbrded. Mr. Miller's right
arm shot out and there were three re-
sounding whscks. One caught Mr.
Comstock in the eye. The second was
stopped by his chin. The third
smashed his hat and sent it flying
across the, room.
Mr. Miller by that time had retired
to his corner. He pulled out his hand-
kerchief, but, there was a gleam in his
eye that made it plain to those in the
room that. the handkerchief was not
meant to be a flag of peace. Marshal
Henkel was doing his best to calm the
lawyer. 'l‘wo court attendants stood
by to seize Mr. Comstock the moment
he should try to attack his antagonist,
but their services, however, were not
needed.
Mr. Comatock. after he had flicked
the dust from his trousers, turned to
Commissioner Shields and demanded
that a warrant be issued forthwith for
Mr. Miller's arrest. The Commission-
er refused to exercise any power he
might have under the law to place the
lawyer under arrest and referred Mr.
Comatock to the United States District
Attorney, Stimson. who had departed
for the day.
Mr. Comatock, who was getting an
grier every moment, then went over to
Assistant United States Dirtrict Atom:
noy Carmody. who was prosecuting th
case In which he had appeared as a
witness.
"i want a warrant for the arrest of
this man on a charge of assault in
court, Mr. Carmody." roared Mr. Com-
stock.
Mr. Carmody is absent-minded. He
was talking to Commissioner Shields
and did not seem to notice that Mr.
Comatock was there. Com-took stood
directly behind him and shouted his
request. but Mr. Carmody did not even
turn around.
When Mr. Comatock saw, that he
could do nothing with Mr. Garmody he
ran over to Marshal Henkel. who was
in another part of , a room, and told
him to take the lawyer into custody
without further loss of time. Mr. lien-
kel refused to do mill without a
warrant. .
“But you saw what he did to me!”
cried Mr. Comstock.
“Yes. and If 170,1! should, ask mgml
as that ougot us we wasc -
In: to ytiu." said the Marshall. “No
warrant,_no arrest."
A new request was made to Commis-
sioner Shields, but to no purpose. The
Commissioner told him he would have
to make his complaint to the United
States' District Attorney before he
could get a warrant.
Mr, Comatock turned and left the
room. There was a arose of reporters
in the corridor. Mr. Comsmck shout-
ed that he had been insulted and Is-
saultsd. and could not get iii-tics. One
of them who knew Comsiock told him
that it was not the first time. and said
other things so may.“ Hr. poli-
atock rushed up for the reporters ar-
rest. iHIs request in this case. too.
fell on deaf ears.
Finally Mr. Cont-tool: sat down in
the Commissioner's since. There ilr.
Housman received him. and Mr. Com-
slock outlined his complaint and told
of his desire to place himself under
be broad aegis of the United States
court and received in return" ‘
forget yourself as to call an officer of
the United States Court a liar. that
very moment you place yourself be‘
yond the pale of the law. Anybody
who knows enough to behave like a
gentleman can have the whole machin~
cry of the Federal law set In motion
for his protection, but—-"
Mr. Comstock remained about an
hour in Mr. Houghton's office. but he
came away without. a warrant.
in the meailme Mr. Miller was rc~
calving congratulations in the Com-
missioner‘s office. Acquaintances
cam cup and wrung his hand while
he was waiting to be arrested.‘
Stearus Edlek. Secretary of the Fed-
eral Union Surety Company, who had
witnessed the encounter. but did not.
know Mr. Miller. introduced himself
and offered to give a bond for him in
case Comatock should get a warrant.
Mr. Edlek expressed himself as pleas-
ed with Mr. Miller's performance. He
sent to his ofllce, where he obtained
frontthe VlcePresident a blank bond
which he was empowered to full out
for any amount on to $100,000.

Realising that such an entertainment.
with regular paid admissions of 25.
86 and 50 cents and all the financial
features of a theatrical performance
would be in plain violation of the law.
and knowing that Mr. Hoyt had always
been careful to avoid such violation,
and to keep his theatre closed on Sun-
day. I Inquired of him, and learned
that he was doing it in this case as an
accommodation to the Order of Eagles
and not for the proilt to himself which
was merely nominal. 0n inquiry of
the authorities. Mayor Dow informed
me that he knew nothing of it and
had never given his consent. There
evidently has been some misunder»
standing In the granting of permission
by the authorities. for City Clerk.
Judge Taylor, tells me that the appli-
cant Informed him that the Mayor's
consent had been secured. I have
therefore made protest to the Mayor,
the City Clerk and the Chief of Police.
The- Mayor Informs me that only re-
cently he refused permission to some
of our Jewish citizens to hold a Sun-
day evening entertainment ln a private
house. and that he would certainly not
be party to any plan for an entertain-
ment which would be an sushi or
greater violation of Sunday order.
Of course I am well aware. Mr. Ecli-
tor. that our friends the Eagles will
feel that all this protest is utterly un-
called for since theentertainment pro-
posed ls an exhibition of view of the
Passion Play which is a religious exer-
cise in Oberammergau. The protest,
however, is made on the'gronnd that
this is in no proper sense a religious
service. since paid admissions are
charged. but is simply a stereopticon
exhibition brought here by outsiders
under the auspices of a local lodge
with a view to financial profit to both.
The case would be the same if any of
the churches should engage a minister
to come and preach the Gospel at a
Sunday service and charge a regular
admission fee without the payment of
which he could not be board. This
would be making money-on Sunday for
the church and a paid admission or a
free entrance is always the ground
of distinctiop between business and
philanthropy. as the newspapers al-
ways remind us when we seek to ad-
vertise in them the weekly gatherings
of the church. There can be no ob-
jection to the. lodge holding what it
deems a religious gathering provided
it does not charge admission and sell

occasion of what; I fear will be a great
inconvenience to a respected lodge of
our town, and since i regret that I
am compelled so to be, I should openly
declare myself, so that. the criticism
may fall upon myself and, not unjustly
be visited on another.
The reason why the matter was de-
layed was that I did not notice the ar-
ticles in the paper until some one call-
ed my attention to it.
