BY Charles Warner

The Dreyfus, case is making world
wide regulations for Maitres Labor and
Demange, the skillful French lawyers
who have undertaken the task of prov
ing the innocence of the prisoner from
Devils island.
Both of these gentlemen We're well
known in France before the present court
martial caused their names to become
familiar to the people of many lands.
Perhaps the most conspicuous Of the pair
is Maitre Fernand Labori, the junior
counsel. He is a fiery, quick tempered
man. At the time Of the lola trial,
when he defended the novelist against
the libel charges resulting from the II
accuse letter. he gained the nickname
of 'sthe man with the mustard pot under
his nose"
Maitre, by the way, is the style Of adj
dress which the French Unfortunately
bestow upon all persons connected with
the higher branches of the legal profess
sion.
In personal appearance Maitre Labor
has the round, comfortable stoutness of
shoulder and form which distinguishes
the stalwart Frenchman from the more
rudely blocked Anglo-Saxon. With rud-
dy hair and clipped heard and an in
quisitive nose almost humorously in the
air, and with quicksilver coursing through.
his veins, he is not to be held down by
any academic rules in his manner of
pleading, although this is declamatory
enough to suit any stage. He under

ther judges nor juries have the calm

The Nebraska boys were also greet
ed at San Francisco by a big Nebraska
delegation, which included Governor
Poynter and other prominent officials.
Their reception was a type of the man

cate at the Paris court of appeal.

capacity of secretary de la conference

the Process du Collier" which at once
won for him a reputation. Maitre La
bori was until recently editor Of the
professional newspaper La Gazette du
Palais, and he is compiling and editing
q comprehensive treatise on French juris-
prudence. He has strong literary tastes.
He made his reputation as a remarkably
clever criminal lawyer in the case Of
the anarchist Duval and in the defense
of the Mort brothers, accused of parri-
eide.
Among the best known cases with

His p~leadings in the lola trial have since
greatly enhanced his professional repu-
tation, not only for forensic eloquence,
but for the adroit and skillful handling
of his case. He is u past master Of the
intricacies of French procedure.
Even more than the average French
lawyer he is quick to demand the dignity
and Difference due his profession. This
led him to figure in one Of the most
dramatic scenes of the lola trial.
1t happened when General Gonse ven
tured to protest against one of Labori's
questions as a trap into which he was
being led. AT once Labor turned to the
public prosecutor. his steel blue eyes scin-

the incident as of slight Importance, but
q dangerous murmur arose from the
members of the Paris bar, now thor

to their professional body.

regiment to go into camp on the Pre-
sidio grounds until the discharges and
other papers could be made out. This
has not only facilitated matters, but
has given the volunteers q chance to
recover from the effects Of their long
sea voyage.
While the ocean trip has been on
the whole a beneficial one to the war
worn soldiers, tired out after months
of hard campaigning, the confinement
on a crowded transport is bound to be
more Or less irksome. Yet it is esti-
mated that the Nebraska regiment
weighed 10000 pounds more when it
marched down the gangplank at San
Francisco than when the boys went
aboard at Manila.
The Preside camp is an ideal one
for the purpose. 1t has been estab-
lished so long that all the little con-
.veniences which go to make tent liv-
ing comfortable have become fixtures.
The tents, instead Of being pitched on
the naked ground, are all furnished

with neat board floors. The company
streets are well laid out and each fur
nished with a good supply Of water.
Some of the regiments have gone back
to the same spots which they occupied
last year, when they were composed
of raw militia. Now they are veter-
an regiments, each one of them hay
ing earned its share of glory in the
far east.
After two or three weeks rest at the
Preside the volunteers are ready to-
go back to their homes. where they
receive final oyations and then grad
ually drop back into the prosaic ways
of the civilian.
