attorneys, the marshals, the deputies, and the clerks of the
said district and territorial courts shall be paid for their
services the like fees as may be allowed to them for similar
services in other cases; and in all cases where the
proceedings are before a commissioner, he shall be entitled
to a fee of ten dollars in full for his services in each
case, inclusive of all services incident to such arrest and
examination. The person or persons authorized to execute the
process to be issued by such commissioners for the arrest of
offenders against the provisions of this act, shall be
entitled to a fee of five dollars for each person he or they
may arrest and take before any such commissioner as
aforesaid, with such other fees as may be deemed reasonable
by such commissioner for such other additional services as
may be necessarily performed by him or them, such as
attending at the examination, keeping the prisoner in
custody, and providing him with food and lodging during his
detention, and until the final determination of such
commissioner, and in general for performing such other
duties as may be required in the premises; such fees to be
made up in conformity with the fees usually charged by the
officers of the courts of justice within the proper district
or county, as near as may be practicable, and paid out of
the Treasury of the United States on the certificate of the
judge of the district within which the arrest is made, and
to be recoverable from the defendant as part of the judgment
in case of conviction.
"SEC. 8. _And be it further enacted_, That whenever the
President of the United States shall have reason to believe
that offenses have been or are likely to be committed
against the provisions of this act within any judicial
district, it shall be lawful for him, in his discretion, to
direct the judge, marshal, and district attorney of such
district to attend at such place within the district, and
for such time as he may designate, for the purpose of the
more speedy arrest and trial of persons charged with a
violation of this act; and it shall be the duty of every
judge or other officer, when any such requisition shall be
received by him, to attend at the place, and for the time
therein designated.
"SEC. 9. _And be it further enacted_, That it shall be
lawful for the President of the United States, or such
person as he may empower for that purpose, to employ such
part of the land or naval forces of the United States, or of
the militia, as shall be necessary to prevent the violation
and enforce the due execution of this act.
