ZOLA'S SENTENCE OUASHED
Because the Wrong FunctiOnary Pre-
ferred the Charge

Paris, April 1.-The court of cessation
has quashed the sentence of one years
Imprisonment and 5000 francs fine i'm
posed upon NJ. Emile Zola on February 5
as a result of the collapse of the charges
made by him in the Aurore on the conduct
of the Esterhazy court martial. but the
court has not ordered another trial be-
fore another assiZe.
The decision is based on the fact that
the president of the court martial should
have lodged the complaint against NJ.
Zola, instead OF the minister Of war. as II
was the cort martial that was assailed
by the famous author andeditor
The Aurore today contains a statement
from NJ Clemenceau, who acted as coun-
sci for that paper in the lola trial, in
which he accuses the minister of war.
General Billot, of attempting 10 coerce
the court of appeals into sustaining the
conviction of lola. NJ CIemenceau says:
u surprised General Bnlot at the senate
in conversation with the president of the
court when the president protested
against the attempts Of the minister Of
war 10 intimidate him, General Billot re-
piled: Then all I can say is that YOU are
preparing the way for a revolution of
which you will be the first victim "

BLIND GUIDES.
Where Blindness Becomes a Crime
THE SAFE GUIDE AND HOW
TO RECOGNIZE HIM.

Blindness is one of the saddest misfor-
tunes that can befau a human being. To
be shut out from the colors of the sunset,
10 hear the rustic Of Autumn's gay robes
and miss their changing sheen, to inhale
the odor of the rose and fail 10 see its
fairness-these are losses that only dimly
shadow the case of the prisoner of perpet-
ual night But there is a time when blind
ness stamps the blind as criminal That
time is when the blind man undertakes
leadership. Imagine the situation. Here
comes a woman, cropping feebly along the
path, and saying: ''Oh! if somebody would
only lead me"
And this blind man says: Take my
hand, and I'll lead you in perfect safety"
He is blind himself. but she does not know
it. She places a fee in her leaders hand
and sets out with him in utmost conf
dence. He dares not halt or hesitate.
She might guess that he was blind. SO
he dashes boldly on, and they both fall
into the open ditch, where he leaves the
woman to get out as best she may, while
he proceeds to spend the fee she has paid
for being led. Such betrayal of confidence
is bad enough when the only result is a
fall into the mire How much worse is il
when the blind leader risks his clients life

Just as you'd know the safety of any
guide by his success. The men who guided
the great Cunard liners across the Allan

a quarter of a century they had never lost
a man or letter People who put safety
before show, travelled by the Cunard. The
Alpine guides that are chosen for travers-
ing the slippery slopes of the mountain
and crevasse are chosen by the record
they have of the safe conduct of travellers
What sort of business would an Alpine
guide do, who. out of every hundred trav-
elers he led. brought back only one alive
the other 80 lost in chasm and crevasse?
How would such a man compete with a
guide who brought back IS out of every
hundred in health and safety? That's how
you can tell the right guide. Here are the

FOLLOWS The WATER
No Public Land Right in the
Lake Front Case.
SECRETARY BLISS SAYS
All Government Rights Passed
to the Patentee.
SECRETARY BLISS SAYS

Washington, April 2.-Secretary Bliss
today decided the celebrated Chicago lake
front case, involving lands in fractional
section 10. The decision is in forty-seven
pages and was prepared by Judge Van De
venter, assistant attorney general Of the
interior department. 1t reviews the his
tory of this land from 1921 to the present
time. through the various contests that
have been had respecting it in the land
department and in the courts, including
the United States supreme court.
In brief, the decision holds that the wa
ter line of Lake Michigan constituted the
eastern boundary line of the section; that
by the patent to Kinzle. the land TO the
water line was conveyed by the United
States and that by the conveyance of that
patent the United States ceased to be ri
parian proprietor and had no right TO
the subsequent secretions which formed
the greater portion of the lands now in
controversy. In conclusion il is held that
the land in question is not public land and
that it cannot be acquired by the use Of
scrip or otherwise under the public land
laws.
The decision briefly states the proceed
ings had by Commissioner Lamoreaux in
this case and calls attention TO the fact
that scrip applicants had access to the
survey plat made under Commissioner
Lamoreaux's direction in advance of its
filing and approval in the general land
office. 1t was also stated that Mr.. Lam
oreaux's decision was not prepared by
him or by any one in the government ser
vice, and that the decision was signed
three days before the time announced by
him for its promulgation.

Matters in General.

Mayor Medill said the waterworks

question a serious one, and asked and
was given further time to consider it.
In view of the adoption of the track
privilege ordinance, The ARGUS
has but to repeat its fire.
quentlv made declaration in favor
of encouraging new enterprises.
which come with a friendly spirit
toward the city, but it regrets
that some plan could not have been
adopted which, while encouraging a
new corporation, need not necessarily
involve the permitting of the prac-
teal destruction of the property of
another which has been here for wears.
As far as future grants are concerned.
it is hoped the city, while being fair
to one corporation. will not be unjust
to another, and when the Burlington
franchise is extended. it should be
with a provision such as the company
has heretofore given assurance of its
Willingness to accept and that the fixing
the time in the immediate future when
the Twentieth street depot is to be
built. With these considerations and
the levee provided for, all interests
will be properly subserved.
As to the difference of opinion be-
tween the city's expert engineer and
the representative of filtering COM
pany that is seeking to sell the city
its goods. there is no question but
that the city should be guided by the
suggestions of its own engineer. That
is one of the advantages of having
such an official 1t is what he is hired
