Defective LEGISLATION.

Legal talent, so far as it may be
gauged by the number of lawyers on
the rolls, is by no means scarce in the
legislative body of this state No
bill becomes a law without having
passed the scrutiny of members of the
legal profession. But it often-quite
too often-happens that the acts of
legislatures are found to be fatally de-
fective as soon as an attempt is made
to enforce them. Laws which to the
layman appear to be all that could be
desired to carry out the purpose of
their enactment are found to have
loop holes big enough for circus
band wagon and the elephants to pass
through them.
A case in point has recently oc-
Cured in Tennessee. The legislature
OF that state, at its last session, after
grave deliberation, enacted an anti
cigarette law 1t provided severe
penalties for selling cigarettes and
the advocates of the measure sup
posed they had the traffic in that com
modify at their mercy.
But the statute says never word
about giving away that sort of goods.
No perceptible diminution Of the con
sumption Of cigarettes is perceptible
in any part of the state The dealers
simply add the price of a bunch of
these seductive little things to some
other article for which the customer
calls, meanwhile tipping the tradi-
tional soda fountain wink, and the
cigarettes are given away.
1t seems strange that this old,
familiar blunder in law making should
have been worked off again, while
thousands of well-informed citizens,
earnestly favoring the enactment of
an effective law, were watching every
step Of the proceedings. Perhaps it
was not a mistake on the part of the
trainers of the bill. Legislation has
suffered many defeats at the hands Of
its supposed friends, both in this and
other states.

citizens Attack tho Police and Many
Persons Are wounded.
Havana, March 20.-A serious conflict
between the police and people Of Havana
Saturday night resulted in much shoot
ing and clubbing. From 30 to 30 people
were wounded, some seriously. Among
the injured is Police Captain Estampes
formerly q colonel in the Cuban army.
Ever since the police interference about
n week ago with the demonstration in
honor Of General MaXimo Garcia, the
police have been unpopular with the pop
ulace, who jecr at them and declare them
inefficient. The trouble occurred at a
public mulatto ball in San Jose street,
an unsavory quarter of Havana. Many
Cuban officers, colonels and captains
among them, attended the affair. A po-
liceman on duty in that street. follow
ing orders to prevent a crowd collecting
in front of the building where the ball
was in progress, asked the group Of mel
to go in or dsperse. His request was
unheeded, and after repeating it he was
attacked by the group, whereupon many
men issued from the building, set upon
him, took away his club and revolver and
handled him roughly.
The policeman Immediately notified
to the scene of trouble. The crowd had
prepared for their arrival. It is said
they opened with a revolver fire upon the
police, which the latter returned, the
shooting being kept up until the am
munition was exhausted. The opponents
of the police acted with determination in
the affray. Many who were in the
building mounted to the roof, which is
comparatively low, and fired upon the
police from that point. They were APP
parently we'll armed, and this fact to-
gether with the resolution with which
they fought, seems to confirm the belief
that the attacking party was mostly
made up of Cuban officers, as ordinary
civilians would have fed from the re-
volvers Of the police
Many women were wounded. A re-
port is in circulation that two OF the in
jured civilians have succumbed to their
wounds, but this is not confirmed.
Among those seriously hurt are Police
man Dontto Aroza, Enrique Munoz and
Benigue VasQuez and civilians Jose
Dominguez, Etouo Galiano, Alberto
Alicia and Irene Rogue. 1t is reported
that many were wounded who withdrew
hastily, because unwilling to have 1t
known that they were present.
American troops were called to the
scene when the trouble was over, and
numerous arrests followed.
It is reported that another conflict be-
tween the people and the police took
place last evening in the outskirts OF Ha-
vana, and that two policemen and sew
eral civilians. all wounded, were con-
veyed to police headquarters. 1t is as
serted also that two policemen were kill
ed. There is also a rumor that a police
man was stabbed to death yesterday af-
ternoon.

Briqandape Growing I'm cuba.

Santiago de Uuba, March 20.-1here
have been several fresh cases Of brigand-
age during the last few days in the
neighborhood of San Luis. and thus far
none of the bandits has been captured.
though many of them are known to have
been working on the roads last month.
As the March estimates have not yet
been approved from Havana, there has
been reduction in the number employed
in that way, and these discharged steal
rather than starve. The Cuban officials
complain bitterly of the delay in the ap-
proving of the estimates for March,
pointing out that poor men, with no
work, are compelled to become bandits.

press, became irresistible First the elias
