Mr.. Bayard on the BarrundIa Case.

A correspondent OF the NelU York Herald,
who has talked with Mr.. BAYARD about the
shooting OF BARRUNDIA, thus reports the
eX-Secretary OF State:
at would appear to me that tho gravest question
Minister MIzEER will have meet will be- what au-
shortly did he have to interfere ALL and lend his Of
hcal cooperation to the arrest shipboard and re-
moval thsrefrom OF Gen BAKRUNDIA! What right did
Minister MIEsER have In the matter at all Gen, BAR.
BuNDIA not being American citizen. I cannot see
what control Minister MINER could righttully assume
over him"
This is sound common sense and safe in
ternational law. Mr.. MCCREARY Of Ken
lucky and other Democrats who are excited
over q supposed outrage to the American
flag would hold Mr.. MIzNER responsible for
not protecting BARRUNDIA against the at
tempted arrest which he resisted and which
resulted in his death.
AS Mr.. BAYARD points out, II there Is any
case against the American Minister, it is for
having anything at all to do with the mat
ter, not for failing to protect BARRUNDIA.
About the jurisdiction there is no question
whatever. Gen. BARRUNDIA was not under
the American flag, except in the physical
sense. when he resisted arrest and was shot
on the deck OF an American ship In a Guate-
malan port.
A clear perception OF the principle stated
by Mr.. BAYARD and The sun would save
several members OF Congress and a good

The appeal which Is made to-day by the

The appeal which 10 made to-day by the
American Committee for the Relief OF
Famine In Ireland will be fruitless unless 1t
is answered at once. The potato crop is a
failure. and the horrible suffering which
that means is only too well known.
Relief has always been too late In
Irish faniines. The world has not
been awakened until starvation has
done awful work. This year it Is pro-
posed to anticipate the famine and be ready
for 1t. II the American people will be as
quick with its contributions as it always is
with its sympathies, tho miseries Of 1916
need not be repeated
For the moment there is no Irish Ques-
ton, for there Is no politics in humanity.
Shall our fellow creatures in Ireland be al
lowed to starve2 That is all the question.
Even the cynic who distrusts the common
works OF charity must be touched by this
call to save a people from calamity.
It rests with the kind hearts and hands OF
the American people to drive death from the
doors OF thousands of irish cabins. Here
Is no hobby of cranky philanthropists,
and no doubtful cause to be served. Every
stitch OF clothing, every pound OF food.
every cent Of money sent to the re-
lief OF Ireland will go for the saw
ing OF life and the prevention OF suffering.
Compassion is cheap. What will you give
in money, food, or clothing? And will you
give it at once?
The SUM- as treasurer OF the committee,
will receive and acknowledge contributions.
Hurry them along.

ed that he be allowed TO see the poison sale

he subsequently returned with q friend and

that he had not told why he desired to eNam-
inc the record His object was to ascer ain
whether lis wife had been purchasing opium
He found some bottles in his wife S posse sion
with Quees label on them, but he could not
say what drug they had contained.
Dr. Quee testified that he kept book for
the record OF all poisons sold in the store.
He asked Mr. Pope what he wished to see the
book for. but he would give no explanation.
II he had told what he wished to see the book
for he would not have hestated to allow him
to examine it. Mr.. Pope was unknown TO him
ut the lime and he knew nothing of his wife
Justice Kenna dismissed the complaint on the
ground that Mr.. Pope's request was not a rea-
sonable one. The law says the book must be
shown upon reasonable demand made during
ordinary business hours" and the question
decided in the negative by Justice Kenna was
whether demand to see the book made with
out any explanation was reasonable.
