LOOK AND BE CAREFuL

Owing to some deficiency in tie funds

no detectives, it is understood, from other
cities can lie gotten here to look out for
foreign crooks during the Christian En-
deavorers' Convention. Our own detec-
tive force may he Temporarily increased by
details from The different precincts, but
the men so detailed have little more than
acquaintance with local criminals. While
sober and orderly gathering, such as the
next July assemblaGe will be, does not,
perhaps, attract the most dangerous law
breakers OF ether cities, yet there Will be
enough Of thieves, pickpockets and other
professional criminals in town to make il
incumbent unon bousckeepers to be care
full and circumspect III the selection Of
people who may apply 10 them for rooms
and other accommodations.
Indications point to the presence here in
the second week of July of between 81. 900
and $4,000 strangers. In such a crowd
an experienced theft or swindler will have
no difficulty to conceal his identity until
some houscEeeper or her guests discover
his real character to their sorrow. Ii is
because the bona fidc delegates and visit
ors to the convention are received without
question that ii is all the more easy fCf
a crook to pass unsuspected. In the crowds
at the different meetings to be held during
the convention detectives must do then
work. butt behoovesev one who expects
to entertlin or harbor any of the visitors
TO subject applicants to some scrutiny.

Shelbyville, Ind. June 22.-Milton Rol-

Saturday afternoon, from his. home, seven
miles north, and drew 5000 from q bank.
with which to pay off the balance due on
his house.
Soon afser drawn the money he was seen
drinking In the company of two wcll-known
young men. Friends prevailed upon Roliey
to start for home, which he did about dusk.
Soon after arriving there two men drove
up to his residence, called the old man out
and requested him to go at once to the
bedside of his daughter, who. they said, had
been taken i'll, ard was then dying
Rolley hurried to the barn for his horse,
leaving his wife preparipg TO follow.
On opening the barn Rolley was knocked
down. Staggering to his feet, lie en-
deavored to grappIe with his assaiIant.
but was attacked from the rear By the
second man. His skull was crushed and
four ribs broken by the robbers, who went
through his pockets but without finding
any money.
They returned to the house, and OH Mrs.

money was, forced her to do so by hol;iing
her over natural gas fire. The money

SPAIN pUYING wARsHIPs.

Popular resentment against the United
States appears to have communicated it
selfto the government OF Spain, for the news
comes from Madrid that in view OF the
Cuban plank in the st. Louis platform,
war with this country-will be inevitable.
Spain. therefore. has bypothecated some
valuable mines TO the Rothschilds, in con-
sideration of loanof 90 900 900 pesetas.
and has Immediately gone to buying big
war vessels. Two l 4, ,000-ton battleships
comprise her first purchase, and she Is
looking around for others that may happen
to be in the market. While it is surprising
to olearn that battleships. cruisers and other
war craft should be lying around loose
on the bargain counters of any of the Euro
pean shipbuilders, yet 1t Is not impossible
that such may be the case. At any rate,
il will not do to ignore the matter, espe-
cialIy in the present excited state of pub
lie feeling throughout Spain. The govern
ment may be averse 10 entering upon hos
tilities against the United States. but
might be forced against its will to do SO in
order to maintain itself and bear account
TO popular sentiment.
Under ordinary circumstances our navy
would be more than sufficient to cope with
anything the Spanish government could
send against ii. but il there should be a
quantity OF warships for sale in European
shpyards, and Spain has more collateral
to put up for loans, it will not take her many
months to add considerable strength to her
fleets. Even this, however, need not dis
turb us. for in an emergency Congress could
be called in extra session and authorize the
buying OF such ships as might be needed.
In this respect we can, of course, play more
than even with Spain.
One weak point is in the undefended con-
dition of our sea ooasts and large coast
cities, and the question arises how much
can be done by the engineer department
defeDsble. Congress was fairly liberal
in the appropriations for coast and harbor
defeDscs, but the scheme contemplates
works which it would take ten years to

DELAYS OF, THE Law

The beginning in Philadelphia of what
promises to be sensational murder trial
moves the press of that city to call atten-
tion to a matter recently discussed by The
Times, namely, the vexatious, uDreasona
ble length OF criminal trials in this cuun-
try, which has great deal to do with
lesseniDg popular respect for the processes
of justice, and making the criminal classes
bolder in their violations of the law. 1t is
problem in which courts, judges, lawyers
and the people are jointly Interested, and
regarding which a solution must lie found
before long, and the sooner the hetter.
The trial OF the woman, Annie Dyer, in
London, TO which reference has hereto
fore been made in these columns, lasted
Just two days, and she was hanged in two
weeks. II took Just that time to secure n
jury in the Fleming case, now running in
one Of the New York courts. One of the
assistant prosecuting attorneys of tie great
city, who happened to he in London at the
time of the Dyer trial and attended the
sessions OF the court, gives his impression
i'll these words:
must confess that was struck by the
extreme brevity and dispatch of the pro-
ceedings in England. Where it takes us
fourteen days TO geta jury ii took them as
napy minutes. This was because tie pre-
sizing judge simply assumed from the out
set that every Juror would be true to his
oath and do his duty. The question, SO IA.
niar with US, rs TO whetherthe juror enter
tains n ejudice against the death PES
atty, or against cireunistantiai evidence
was never once put. In fact, the judge
would not have allowed it, as 1 was in
formed, on the GROUND that a juror, by hi:
OATH is not allowed to be swayed by such
| preiudces. There were none of tie othel
appeals to individual or emotional pref udices
| to which we have become so accustomed
| Thus the fact that the defendant was q
woman was never mentioned by any of the
| lawyers of the Judge.
l could not help thinking while / sal
| in the trial, surrounded by all the cour
| paraphcrnalia OF a former age, how, de
| spite these appearances of antiquity, the
| Eng ish system was really far in advance
| of ours though We started from the same
| common source. Their system seems tc
| have begot fairness and dispatch, and, as a
result, absolute confidence in the Judge.
| who administer the law, while our sys
TEN, which is supposed to be so much
fairer, has begot the exact reverse.
The prosecuting counsel OF today ma,
| be the defender of criminal a few
months hence, and his opinion, therefore
may be regarded as unbiased. When pro
| fessional and non-professional views agree
| to be correct.

eeHrIHILE down in Tennessee town
-- Wv last summer said II. V. Wells,
OF l.,sRaIc. ~ on " a Nery amuS-

w Wv last summer" said II. V. Wells,
OF Buffalo, Il saw a very anus
ing incident in connection with the summer
excursions on tile Cumberland River, which
flows past the town. The captain OF an
excursion steamer had advertised an ex-
cursion for negroes down the river. When
the day for the trip rolled around the ter
ritory about the hoat's wharf was filled
with a gaudily dressed crowd at least two
hours before the time for the boat to move.
The crowd increased rapidly. and an hour
later there were enough excursionists there
to fill two such boats as the captain had
and more negroes were coming all the time.
1.-The captain was in a dilemma. Every
man, woman and child present had come
with the determination OF going on the ex-
cursion. Once they tried to move the boat
way and leave halfthe crowd, but those on
shore would not allow the ropes to be cast
off. Finally the captaihp consulted with
his mate. The latter thought he was equal
to the emergency. aud went away for few
moments. When he returned he ordered all
arrangements to be made for putting off.
THE steamboat was already so crowded
that the lower deck came almost to the
waters edge. Just at he moment when
everything was in readiness wagonload of
watermelons was driven up TO one end of the
wharf. The mate made a bold announce
nent that they were being distributed free.
The crowd dwindled away like cake OF
ice thro wn into a fiery furnace. 1t was al
most impossible to keep those on the boat
from jumping off. too But the gang plank
was drawn, and the boat steamed away,
with fully one half OF the prospective excur-
sionists left behind
