The police officiousness in invoking the
lese majestic law received a check this
week. A popular music hall comedian
named Reuter- had been singing couplets
on Emperor Williams Oriental trip with
great success, when the police decided
that the Introduction of his majesty in a
music hall ditty was tantamount to lese
majesty and ordered it stopped. The
singer, whose couplets were inspired by
patriotism, questioned the legality Of the
police decree and scored victory in a
verdict setting forth that a song treating
OF the emperor need not necessarily con-
stitute a breach of public morality.
Another queer lese majestic case has oc-

various ways of spending their yaca-

time for her vacation she was con-

the present time she is on her vaca-
