Bishop on Criminal Procedure, Sec. S6S }
BY section 10 of Article of the Consti-
tuition of the State Of Illinois it is de-
clared: "No person shall be compelled,
in any criminal case, to give evidence
against himself" When the disqualifi-
cation Of a defendant in a criminal case
as a witness in his own case was re-
moved by section 426 Of the Criminal
Code Of Illinois, it was expressly pro-
vided that "a defendant in any crimi-
nal case or proceeding shall only at his
own request, be deemed a competent
witness, and his neglect to testify shall
not create any presumption against
him, nor shall the count permit any ref
erence or comment to be made to, or
upon such neglect"
The provisions Of the statute and the
positive inhibition Of the Constitution
alike preclude the Grand Jury, or any
court, to call upon the defendant, and,
In the first place, make him a witness
and require him to give evidence
against himself. 1t is Of the highest de-
gree Of interest, and most important.

The wrecked train was the east bound

thrilling experience with bandits in New

was caused by the explosion of the boiler
of the locomotive. The engineer should
have stopped for water at Usage City but
being behind time he endeavored to run to
the next tank. The engineer and fireman
both met death in the wreck. The train
had proceeded but~two miles beyond this

and the coaches that were ahead were piled
up in one heap of wreckage. The coaches
in the rear were all derailed but the pas

injury.
The wreck was marked by scenes of the
widest confusion among the terrified pas
sengers. The nerves of many were at a
high pitch a result of their experience
with theFroad agents In New Mexico. and
when the crash came the first impression
of nearly all that the train had been

MAY BE AN ARCHBISHOP.
Pope's Offer to Rector keane of the
Catholic UniVersifY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-The current be-
lief among some of the prominent Catholics,
of Washington is that one of the reasons
for Bishop Keane's resignation may be
found in his cooperation with Archbishop
Ireland in fostering the liberal spirit as
again the old regime. These same persons
say that the German Catholics of the coun-
try antagonizing the Archbishop and
everybody having anything to do with him
for his attitude the parochial school
question. 1t is asserted that Monsignor
OConnell formerly the rector of the Ameri-
can College at Rome, lost his position be-
cause of his hostility to those who are op-
posed to Archbishop Ireland, and that the
retirement of Bishop Keane is another evil
dence of their hostility. Bishop Keane is
said to have been warm supporter of
Archbishop Ireland, and his official acts
and that the latter supported Bishop Keane
in all he did.
The officials at the Catholic legation hero
and Cardinal Satolli decline to make any
statement in regard to the resignation and
declare that the news was a matter of
utter surprise to them.
Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic
University of America. makes the follow
ing statement concerning his withdrawal
from the head of that institution:
Since my withdrawal from the rector
ship of the Catholic University of America
will probably be regarded by considerable
portion of the American public a matter
of some interest to them, and since
authorized statements are apt TO be mis-
leading. l deem 1t my duty TO state briefly
and clearly the facts of the case. on Sept.

IRELAND SUPPORTS KEANE.
Says the Rector VIII Undoubtedly
Retain His Position.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. An an inter-
view tonight regarding the resignation of
Bishop Keane, Archbishop Ireland said the
telegram was misleading; that the Popes
letter simply establishes for the Washing
ton University the rule which generally
obtains in other Catholic universities. that
the term of office of rector be limited to a
fixed number of years.
1.-The reasons for a rule of this kind
obvious" said he. "A university is too i'm
portant an institution to be at any time
constrained under a plea of personal rights
or personal equity to retain as its rector a
man who would no longer be the best to
be found. The present constitution of the
Washington University specifies no limit
of time for the holding of the office of
rector. This defect will be remeded at the
next meeting of the directors, Oct. 81. AT
the same time Bishop Keane will be- be-
yond all doubt, chosen to be his own sue
cessor, and the election will also beyond
all doubt. be ratified by the Roman author
tiles.
Bishop Keane is thoroughly identified
with the university. His success in the
administration of the affairs of the In
stitation has been marked To disassociate
him now from the university would be to
doom it to death. No Catholic clergyman
in the country could do the work which he
