Lapsed Titles Are Due to Crimes
62 Attainted British Heritages Found by Committee of Peers. Washington.—The Constitution of the United States provides that no bill of attainder shall Issue against any American citizen, but in this respect British subjects have not been so fortunate. Bills of attainder can be issued in England against persons guilty of treason. When a person is attainted it means that not only he but his heirs forever are deprived of the right to hold honors and. in earlier days, attainder sometimes extended even to the right to hold property. In other words a man guilty of treason was almost Invariably executed, usu- < ally with ignominy—such as drawing and quartering—and in addition all of his children, while not suffering death, lost more of their rights. * When the colonies of America declared their independence a prime tenet of the new political faith declared that all men were created equal before the law. Therefore, it was provided that, no matter what treason a father might have committed and been punished for, the stigma could not legally deprive his children of their civil rights. When English noblemen were convicted of treason their titles fell into abeyance. During the years there have been many such cases. Usually the crime of the attainted man has cast such a stigma upon his title and dignities that bis heirs made little effort to have the abeyance lifted by the king, as it can be. Quite a number ot ancient and important titles now lie under abeyance; in fact, no fewer than 62 were discovered by an investigation into the matter conducted by. a select committee of the house of iWds on peerages in abeyance. Other Causes of Attainder. There may be other causes than attainder of treason for the abeyant status of a peerage but the lords’ committee found of baronies alone. 16 were the result of attainder The other cause of abeyance of a peerage is the death of the last peer with no son and with two or more daughters. Where there is a son, provided there has been no attainder, the title descends automatically. While English law vests descent of a title in an eldest son it does not make such a distinction in the ease of an eldest daughter. Where there is a single daughter and no son. that is. but one child and that a daughter, her son, if any, would inherit the title, but with two or more daughters there is no single claimant recognized as having an automatic claim. The king must designate who is to have the title. This raises interesting questions. A peer’s daughter is pretty likely to marry a peer—especially so in former times. Their chief heir would, as a matter of course, prefer to take his father’s title rather than that of his mother’s father. To be sure there might well be exceptions to such a situation, but that is the usual experience. Then many coheirs spring up after a generation or so, frequently with plenty ot titles in the family, so the abeyant title is neglected and rejnains so because no one wants to take the trouble and go to expense to settle the matter. Now if absolutely all the coheirs die off, as sometimes happens, the single, survivor, though he may be but a distant cousin, has a sound claim to the title but must get it confirmed. Also, a coheir.

OPERATION ON BRAIN SETS THIEF ON STRAIGHT ROAD-
“Tough Customer'* of 20 Years Is Made Honest Again by Use of Knife. Indianapolis, Ind.—Science has been successful in at least one attempt to substitute the surgeon’s knife for prison walls as a cure for criminal tendencies. Emmett Brownlee, twenty years old, of this city, who one year ago was a “tough customer.” has been ied back into the ways of rectitude by an operation that lifted pressure from his brain. The state of Indiana has given official recognition to the success of the operation through a full pardon Issued to Brownlee by the governor. A year ago Brownlee faced a long term In the reformatory because of numerous thefts. Discovering that the boy tool been injured in an automo-
ambitious for the title, sometimes succeeds Id getting all of his uncles and his cousins and bis aunts to renounce all claims formally in his favor. This leaves him a clear field to apply. With no opposition from his own kin and with no other reason against it, the government will recommend to the kiug that a new writ be issued confirming the title in the aspirant. Os course, it is much easier to get a title revived where the abeyance is not due to attainder of treason of an ancestor. Dormant Titles. There is a marked difference between a title in abeyance and dormant title. A dormant title is one the rightful holder of which has failed to claim or make use of and who has been lost sight of. it is easier for this to happen than might seem the case at first glance. Usually the eldest son ot a peer keeps fairly close track of ids family affairs. But many peers have many sons. Now take the case of, say, a third or fourth son, who has no certain expectation of succeeding to rhe title. He knows be has two or three brothers ahead of him, or, should bis eldest brother, the heir apparent, marry and have a child, and also the other older brothers, there might conceivably be a dozen or more lives between him and the title. Life has many vicissitudes and it is far from an unexperienced circumstance for all the intervening lives to disappear. The younger brother, hoping for nothing, has perhaps taken up a homestead in Canada, become an obscure rancher in Australia or gone elsewhere to the ends of the earth, as British younger sons are wont to do. He is known as plain “mister” or in recent yearfe he could, if he chose, be called “the honorable.” But not long ago communication was slow and difficult and younger sons, especially if there was no great wealth in rhe family, dropped completely out of sight and sometimes changed their names. Every life between him and a peerage might become extinct and he never know of it. American-Born Peers. There is still another opportunity for dormancy. A younger son—even an eldest son —may elect to change

In this country we have the outstanding example of Lord Fairfax. That was merely a question of disinclination to make claim to the peerage. For several generations the rightful Lords Fairfax dwelt in the suburbs of Washington, never seeking the family peerage, although the direct male line was unbroken. They preferred American citizenship. The late Doctor Fairfax, an old-fashioned country doctor practicing just over the District of Columbia line in Maryland, scorned the title. All of his neighbors knew he was Lord Fairfax, but he would not permit himself to be so called. “A good wine needs no bush,” was his comment whenever the subject arose. But his eldest son, who went into business in New York and made a modest fortune, decided to win back the title. He did this, in part, because he had a younger brother who could stdnd at the head of the American family, thus giving the Fairfaxes a stake in each of the two great Eng-lish-speaking nations. Although much expense was involved and prolonged investigation and hearing before the committee of privileges, of the house of lords, the young man succeeded in* reviving the dormant peerage and now sits in the house of lords as Lord Fairfax, baron of Cameron, a peer for Scotland. Many such cases of dormant titles being revived are on record, but only three titles have been revived in recent' years, according to the report of the lords’ committee, which recently investigated the question. Family Records Kept. The lapse of years, during which at least one of these titles was in abeyance, is astounding and shows how that family records are kept so well in England that it was possible to trace descent with sufficient accuracy to make a good claim. The barony of Cromwell fell into abeyance in 1497 —only five years after the discovery of America—and after remaining in that state for no less than 426 years it was revived in favor of Robert Godfrey Wolseley Bewicke-Copley who, in 1923, was summoned to parliament as Lord Cromwell. In 1507, when Leonardo da Vinci was alive, the barony of Beaumont fell Into abeyance. After 291 years it was called out in favor of Miles Thomas Stapleton. Tne latest abeyant peerage to be revived is that of Fitzwaiter. After being in abeyance for 158 years it was called out in favor of H. Fitzwaiter Plumptie in 1924. The most extreme case on record of the calling of a barony out of abeyance is that of the Strabolgi title. David de Strabolgi, a Scot, was summoned to a parliament at York in 1318. There has been doubt as to whether he actually sat and even doubt as to whether there actually was such a parliament. The title fell into abeyance more than 500 years ago. The claimant was of the eighteenth generation and the line had passed nine times through women. Ye» the claim was made good and the baron seated. • ' ?« Berlin Founds Music Class for Foreigners Berlin. —Master classes in various branches of music will for the first time be offered here during the summer of 1929 for the exclusive convenience of musicians from abroad. A German Institute of Music for Foreigners has been founded under the patronage of the Prussian minister of arts, sciences and education.

Turkish Musicians Must Prove Ability Stamboul.—The Stamboui Musicians’ union, bent on reforming the music of Turkey, has persuaded the municipality to suppress all musicians unless they hold certificates attesting their ability. The Turkish police have been thorough enough in executing the order, holding up concerts when they are in full swing, to demand certificates from members of the orchestra. Those who fail to produce such pass ports into the realm of art are immediately ejected. The police are even demanding certificates of proficiency from the gypsy tambourine shakers and reed players who haunt the lower cabarets and who’do their street begging to the music of their primitive instrument a

Doctor Epstein made similar measurements in the laboratory of the cooling of various materials. Granite gave a value of 16. which meant that it cooled more slowly. Basalt gave 24 and quartz sand 58. Pumice stone, however, gave values of between 100 and 150. As pumice is of volcanic origin, this appears to be new evidence in favor of past volcanic action on the moon, which may have formed the craters. Hoxie’s Croup Remedy for croup, coughs, and colds.
