FLY-SPECES IN COURT.

The legal arguments in the McKanc case be-
fore Justice Cullen involved a considerable mass
of qubblng over the statutes the indictment,
the trial procedure and the sentence. Colonel
James is a deXtcrous advocate, with marked
talent for presenting microscopic technicalitics
with ucidity Of style and gravity Of manner
| tending TO eXaggcrate their Importance. He
succeeded in making an ingenious and even
impressive plea on behalf Of the convicted law
breaker, and excited the admiration OF the
Brooklyn lawyers who listened TO him. Justice
Cullen with his analytical mind and refinement
Of judicial acumen apparently enjoyed the hair
splitting arguments without being seriously i'm
pressed by their gravity. 1t was evident from
his manner that he would have promptly de-
MED the application for the issuance OF a GER
tificate of reasonable doubt if additional points
based upon the admissibility of evidence had
not been raised.
One of these points seems a plnhead upon
which to hang an appeal for stay Of sentence
and new trial. but it serves to illustrate the
refinement to which the art of quibbling over
technicalities is now carried by leaders Of the
bar. The record OF the trial shows that Il
prOcess-server met one Of the Gravesend in
spectOrs and delivered to him a copy Of an in
junction, and the receiver told the server that
he would give it TO McIIane. Colonel James
coached by the lawyers who conducted the de-
fence, argued that the statement Of a man who
had told a witness what some one else had said
was inadmissible, and since it had not been
excluded it was flaw, which Initiated the
record and consequently the verdict. The prose
cution replied that the Court. by frequent de-
cisions on objections raised by the defence, had
practically ruled out this hearsay testimony.
Colonel James contendcd that. inasmuch as
there was no ruling in this particular instance.
the testimony was accepted by the Court and
sent to the jury. Justice Cullen admitted that
there was ground for objection. and promised
to consider the matter carefully before render
Ing his decision tomorrow
There is no reason to believe that this bit Of
hearsay testimony influenced the jury In the

COLLEGE SPORTS FORTH SAYING.

President Eiot's views on the subject Of col
lcge athletics as expressed in his annual report
to the Ovcrsecrs Of Harvard University. are
causing lively discussion. With his strong
desire 10 abolish the evils which intercollegiate
sports have developed in recent years there is
sure 70 be hearty sympathy on the part of
academic faculties. thoughtful graduates and
the more sensible class of students; for there
Is general agreement, Of which the present
movement to reform the game Of football is an
evidence not only that these sports are of high
value but also that they cannot be allowed To
run an absolutely free course in justice 10 the
objects for which educational institutions pri-
marily exist
No one has more clearly described these evils
than President Eliot, and at the same time
no one has more frankly acknowledged the
benefits which the athletic development has
conferred on college communities. But when
we turn from his statement OF the conditions
which he would like TO change TO the means

curious copyright dispute has been enga sing

I'm connection with Count Tostois latest book
In pursuance Of his peculiar plan of phan-
thropy, Count Tolstoi declines to avail himself of
copyright protection for his works. or To receive
any profit from them. But what he thus gives
away the world does not receive freely. Not
only do the publishers put into their own peck
cts the royalties which they would have paid to
him, but they fight for the privilege of a monop-
oily in doing. They get for themselves upon
his books the copyright which he refuses to ac-
cept. and prosecute each other for infringement
thereof with all possible zeal. The public. there
fore, gains nothing from his eccentric altruism.
and he himself loses the means of beneticence
which the income from his works would afford
