FAITH III COURTS , LOST BY BRITISH

Reliance Shaken by Result of Murder Case Police Seek Victim. London, Msy 27. When the new court of criminal appeal was constltut4 about a year ago. Englishmen generally felt that an end had come to the time when an Innocent man could be hanged, as undoubtedly Innocent men have been hanged under the old system of unrestricted trial by a common jury, which prevailed In Kngland for centuries. It waa felt that three Judges sitting far removed from the excitement and pasnlon of the trial court, would render an Impartial verdict and would speedily set aaldo any verdict by a Jury aa to the Justice of which there was any vlatage .of a doubt. Now, however, public opinion Is veering around to the position that the appeal court has made little differ ence. To begin with, Its establishment was opposed by the Judges, who felt that It was a reflection on their Impartiality and ability, and. secondly the appeal Judges are of the same class and rank ns the trial Judges. A man who presides at the Old Ilatley today in a murder trial may sit as an appeal Judge tomorrow to review the acts of one of his brother judges, and the next day he may bo conducting criminal business again In a provincial court. Naturally there Is loyalty among judges and they don't like to upset the decisions of their Judicial brothers. This uneasy state of public opinion has been Increased by the action of the appeal court in two recent famous cases, those of Dr. Ciippen, the American doctor who was hanged for the murder of his wife, and 8tlnle Morrison, the Russian Jew, who was sentenced to be hanged for the murder of a compatriot. It is not alleged that either Ciippen or Morrison was Innocent. Trobably they both were guilty, nd In Morrison's case, at least, the prisoner Is a man of the type of whom a 8cottlsh Judge said that "a wee bit of hanging would do him no harm," but I do assert that neither man would have been hanged had he been tried in the United tSa'es. Furthermore, he would have escaped, not because of the extreme technicality of American law and practice, but because no American Jury would have taken the responsibility of sending a man to death on the evidence. The trouble is that English juries re hypnotised bv the prosecution, and the theory of prosecution by the crown Is responsible for this. The prosecutm In Rna-llati law la nnf In thonrv n prosecutor at all. He is 'an advocate nnrtlntMl tn watch and nee that luatlce la done. If he thinks the prisoner Innocent, in theory It Is his dut to do all he can to tree him. If guilty he Is supposed to try and hang him. In 'fact, of course, the English prosecutor Is just a green lawyer playing the legal game for all It la worth to obtain a verdict for hla aide and reputation for 'himself. The prisoner is only a pawn tin the game. British juries generally are made up of small tradesmen, of no great Intelligence, who are much Impressed by the fact that "the crown" 'Is prosecuting and whose minds are biased unconsciously, perhaps, but none the less surely, against the pris oner. ' The Morrison cause has been a se vers shock to the faith of many En 'glishmen. not only In the Infallibility of the courts, but also In the Integrity of the police, or rather of Scotland Yard, aa the London detective bureau is called, for the London uniformed policeman Is about as good a spcclman of the genus aa there la In the world. At the time of the murder for which 'Morrison has been sentenced, Scotland Yard was smarting under public criticism for Its failure to catch the 'Houndsdltch anarchists, and the yard man made much capital over its promptitude In arresting Morrison. At the trial, however, all the witnesses were of the class which Is known in London a a "copper's marks, and in New York aa "police stool pigeons." It waa proved that several of them gave perjured testimony against Morrison, and even the police evidence was impeached by no less a person than a pollcejnan. This man, a member of the uniformed force, by the way, directly contradicted the evidence of the detective about an alleeed admission by Morrison, when he was brought Into the station on the Bight of hla arrest. AH this leaves an ugly taste In the mouths of those who bave been following the case. At Is only fair tr say that prompt action has been taken by the authorities In the police matter. An Investigation bas been begun and the policeman who came forward to contradict the evidence of his superiors has been assured that hla career In the force will not be affected In any way by any evidence he may give. The result, however. Is almost a foregone conclusion. Unless the policeman can bring supporting evidence It ts hardly likely that hla word will be taken against that of a band of Inspectors and sergeants, who are fighting for their positions and reputations. The fact remains, however, that "the yard" Is tn distinctly bad odor at pres ent. . A few years ago no one ever thought of accusing the detectives of making cases. No such accusations by prisoners are of weekly occurrence In the police courts, and magistrates Have more than once recently dismissed charges and censured the police for bringing them. Of course. It may all be smoke, but where there Is so much smoke there usually ts some fire. an. H.ltl LewenhoeJL u great naturalist, whe lived years ago.

COIITESTJM ESTATE Heirs Claim English Manufacturer Unbalanced.

(National News 'Association) London, May 27. A quarter of a million dollar estate left by England's famous anti-blushing, anti-fat and antilean remedy manufacturer, Arthur Louis rotating. Is now In the courts of London subject to the litigation of his heir who claim him to have been of unsound mind during the period when he was most actively engaged in piling up his somewhat extensive fortune. It is asserted by the plaintiffs that though rotating was able to turn his vageries into the cold currency of the English crown, his conduct was such as to indicate that he was incapable of making a final disposition of his property. The defence in behalf of Mr. Pointing's advertising agent, to whom he left the bulk of his estate, contends that any man who could amass such a fortune was perfectly sane and fully capable of making his last wil land testament. The case bas not been closed. HAC.ERSTOWN YOUTH KILLS YOUNG HAWKS Hagerstown, Ind., May 27. Climb ing a hickory tree to the height of eighty feet, Raymond Knapp destroyed a nawk's nest ana Kinea tnree young hawk's whlch it contained. Fifteen years ago a pair of unusual ly large hawks built their nests in this tree on the farm of John Holler. Seven years ago the male bird was captured. The next season the mother bird returned with a new mate, and each season since they have returned to the nest In this tree. Mr. Holler and other farmers In the neighborhood lost hundreds of chickens through the depredations of the old birds, but every effort by the farm ers to capture them failed. Knapp watched for some time for a chance to shoot the parent birds, and, failing in this, he determined to destroy the nest and the young. The nest was four feet across from the outer edge and the walls were twelve Inches In thickness and firmly built. The birds, which were not able to fly, measured twenty-three inches from tip to tip of their wings. Pieces of chicken were found in the craws of each hawk. GERMAN BANKER DE CAMPS WITH $30,000 (National News Association) Berlin, May 27. A man named Horstman, In a high position in the Llchtenberg suburb of Berlin, has decamped after committing frauds to the extent of $30,000. He was formerly a member of the town council and a church elder. His frauds are not so remarkable for their exten as for the Ingenious way in which they were thought out. Having started a small bank, which wsa not very successful, he hit on the expedient of engaging bank assistants each of whom was obliged to deposit $500 as a sort of guarantee. Some thing like 20 assistants were engaged. and were employed by Horstmann in making Inquiries In all parts of Ber lin with regard to the solvency or otherwise of bogus customers of the bank. These men made their reports to Horstmann In his private house They never saw the bank, and never saw or knew of another. As soon as matters became to hot the banker de camped.

BRYAN SCORES THE OIL RUST RULING Commoner Makes Bitter At

tack on President Taft and Judiciary. Lincoln. Neb., May 27. Willfam J. Bryan in this week's issue of his Commoner editorially castigates the supreme court decision in the Standard Oil case and the court itself. Bryan says: "The decision in the Standard Oil case will prove disapopinting to the country. The dissolution of the Standard Oil company works no hardship when the supreme court de cision is virtually to license to reorganize under a pledge of greater security. . The real meat of the decision is to be found in the amendment of the' anti-trust law to meet the demands of the trusts. The trusts for several years have been demanding that very amendment. There will be rejoicing in Wall street but there will be sadness in the homes of the masses who are now compelled to begin a campaign for the enact ment of an anti-trust law so clear and explicit that the court cannot repeal it by construction. "The decision explains several things. First, it explains why Jus tice White was made chief justice instead of Justice Harlan. Second, it explains why Governor Hughes was made a justice of the supreme court. Third, it explains the case criticized by the President in selecting Democrats who would help the Republicans out of a hole by making the Demo cratic party bear some of the odium of a decision that builds a bulwark around the predatory corporation. And. fourth, it explains why Wall street went over to Mr. Taft in March or April of 1908 and then coerced their employes and the business pub lic into the support of the Republican candidate In November." EARLHAM BOY THIEF Popular Student Admits that He Took Money. After thefts of money of various amounts, from time to time at Earlham cortege, suspicion fell Thursday on one of the men students who room at Bundy hall. Accordingly a trap was set In one of the rooms where money has been missed. The door was left open, and plainly visible within were two crisp twodollar notes on a table. The thief. who was a popular fellow In school, walked into the room, picked up a book and after toying with it a sec ond, slipped the bills into his pocket. As he left the room two students of the council, governing the school, stopped him. He denied at first, but later broke down and confessed after he had been arrested by Patrolman Edwards and examined by Superintendent Gormon of the police department. As the college authorities desired no prosecution, such action will not be taken, the boy assuring the return of all the money he is alleged to have stolen. He left for his home Friday. The name of the man is being carefully guarded by the police and Earlham authorities. It is said that he is of a prominent Indiana family. MURDOCK PRAISES HARLAN'S RULING (National News Association) Chicago, May 27. "Long after the Standard Oil decision has been forgotten, there will be remembered the dissenting opinion of Justice Harlan magnificently loyal to our democracy," declared Victor Murdock, insurgent in congress from Kansas, following an attack made on the decision handed down by the supreme court at a banquet given by the Atlas club here. Murdock predicted that the people would learn that Justice Harlan was right and the ether supreme jurists wrong in their interpretation of the law and asserted that the hope of the people was in Harlan's decision. He characterized the ruling as a bad one. MASS FOR VETERANS (National News Association) Washington, May 27.

POSTPONE All EVENT Coronation Ceremonies Prevents Celebration.

(National News Association) London, May 27. Word has been received today from the Palace that the intended promulgation of honors on the king's birthday tomorrow will, contrary to the usual method of procedure, be postponed. The reason for this is the imminence of the coronation. From the immemorial It has been the custom of the English monarch to confer upon his subjects upon the anniversary of his birthday, the titles, honors and degrees for which they are candidates. In order, however, both to escape the arduous ceremonies attendant upon this function and to add, if possible, to the impressive magnificence of the coronation. His Maj esty, King George V. has decided to postpone the usual ceremony until coronation day, June 22. HALF - WAY POINT MIGHTYJEAR NOW $24,000 of the $50,000 Earlham Desires Has Been Contributed. EARLHAM DEBT FUND. Previously acknowledged $23,037 New pledges 973 Today's total $24,010 The Earlham debt fund moved today to within "shooting distance" of $25,000, which will mark the half-way point in the battle for $50,000. Pledges amounting in all to $973 have been re-i ceived since yesterday afternoon, making today's total $24,010. One result of Chairman Pearson's survey of the situation after his return from the east, was his announcement today that the campaign In Wayne county (outside of Richmond) would be merged with the campaign in Richmond, which is to be conducted during the final ten days preceding commencement. Some work has already been done in Wayne county, and more may be done among the members of the Friends church. But in general, the Wayne county campaign will be allowed to rest until Monday June 12, when the work will also be taken up in Richmond. Then there will be a concentrated, systematic movement that will sweep Richmond and Wayne county from end to end. "Every member of our church and every friend of Earlham will have an opportunity to stand up for the college," said Mr. Pearson. "We were afraid that we did not have a sufficient force of canvassers in Wayne county at this time, and we 'want the thing done well. For this reason we decided to postpone the campaign in the county until it was time to enter Richmond. County and city will then stand as a unit and I am sure they will give Earlham loyal support. "This is the most earnest appeal Earlham has ever made to the people of this county, and I hope their county pride, if nothing else, will move them to be with us in this great effort to free the college from debt and assure its future." The freshman and junior classes at Earlham have entered fnto the spirit of the campaign and have announced that they will forego the pleasure of their annual frolic during commencement week in order to give the money which would be sent for this event to the debt fund. It is probable that it will amount to $100. "This spirit of loyalty and self-sac-riSce has marked our campaign from the very beginning and with this spirit with us we cannot lose." MEMORIAL SERVICE AT CHURCH, SUNDAY Members of the G. A. R., Sons of Veterans and allied women's organizations are requested to attend the memorial service at the Second Presbyterian church on Sunday morning. The Rev. McNary, pastor, has prepared a special program which will be of special interest to those affiliated with these organizations. XYT 1 Y WeaH LlinaS .

WEATHER RECORDS FOR MAY PRESSED Yesterday's Mark of 92 Only Exceeded Twice in Past Twentv-six Years.

SEVEN DEATHS (National News Association) Chicago', May 27. There were seven deaths from heat prostration today. The temperature at noon was ninety-four degrees in the shade. AT INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis, May 27. The government kiosk registered 101 at one o'clock today. This is slightly ahead of yesterday's record. There were three prostrations of people watching a circus parade. Reports from all over I Central Indiana show heat records. but prostrations are few. IS THIS A JOKE? Regina, Canada, May 27. Five inches of snow have fallen her and it is still snowing. When the mercury in the glass tube of the government thermometer at the waterworks pumping station east of the city rose to 92 degrees yesterday afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock the highest mark for the month of May in the last twenty-six years, with the ex ception of 1895 and 1896 bad been reached. The torrid heat wave which has held Indiana in its throes for the past several days, bringing discomfort to Richmond residents such as has not been felt in this month for many years, gav indication this morning of breaking the May temperature record of 96 degrees recorded in 1895 and setting a mark several degrees higher. At about 11 o'clock it was reported at the pumping station the mercury had reached 91 degrees and was brazenly struggling higher. According to Walter Vossler in charge of the weather observations at the pumping station the" average maximum temperature for May Is about 85 degrees for Richmond and vicinity. In 1895 the mercury reached 96 degrees and in 1896 a mark of 94 degrees was recorded. With these two exceptions the maximum temperature of the last three days have been the highest since the observation station was installed at the pumping house. The exceedingly hot weather of the last few days gives every promise of breaking the record of mean temperature for the month of May in this vicinity. The highest mean temperature for May was in 1896, it being 96 degrees. Mr. Vossler stated today that there could be little doubt but that a higher mark would be established this month. The maximum temperature of Thursday was 91 degrees.

BLAMES SPRINKLING ' 'i-:'9'y.--.- . :;v." For Muddy Condition of the Water in City. Because the extremely hot weather of the past three weeks has made necessary a great , deal of street sprinkling In all parts of the city, the drinking water in the evening has been discolored with a sediment, which collects in the pipes, but which the health officials hold Is not injurious. Complaints seem to be general but more particularly from residents of the East End. Superintendent H. A. Dill, of the Water Works company stated Saturday that it made little difference how slow the flow of water was, a deposit was left in the pipes, which in the case of the city water is largely lime. As the flow of water is increased, as it is when sprinkling Is general all over the city, this sedimeut is dislodged and circulated through the pipes. The officials of the company declare that, although annoying, the trouble is of no consequence and can not be prevented until all the deposit in the pipes is washed out or the sprinkling becomes less 'excessive.

REP. STEPHENS WAS A GUEST OF EATON (Palladium Special) Eaton, O., May 27. Attended by more than one hundred graduates, the annual banquet and reception of the Eaton High School Alumni association, held Friday evening in the city hall, was a pleasant reunion of old classmates that by far evllpsed any previous effore. Chief among the distinguished attendants was Congressman William E. Stephens, of Los Angeles, a native Eatonian and a graduate of the Eaton High school. Congressman Stephens has been gone from Eaton many years, and the oc casion to him afforded a very accepta ble opportunity to again greet old friends and class mates. In California he is one of the biggest men in polltics and general influences, as may be seen by his election to his present office, which came after public service as mayor. Attorney Harry L. Rlsinger served as toastmaster. Many, toasts and musical selections featured. "Selecting a Servant," was the title f the amusing production staged in a pleasing style. The appetizing banquet was prepared by Cateress Fredricka Action. Delightful selections were rendered at frequent intervals throughout the evening by. Browns orchestra, of this city.
