CRIMINAL APPEAL IN GREAT BRITAIN

NE OF the effects Of the Dreyfus case has been
| a renewal of the agitation for the establish
ment of court of criminal appeal in Great
Britain. A change in the present law, which permits
OF appeal from criminal convictions except to the
clemency OF the Home Secretary acting for the
sovereign, has long been urged and at one time dur
ing the sensation OF the Maybrcl case considerable
support was given to the proposed reform That
agitation died out but now since the revelations
concerning the conviction of Dreyfus show how i'm
portant it is to the innocent to have the right OF
appeal from conviction the issue has been taken ND
anew and this time the reormers may be successful
in their efforts
The movement does not lack the support of emf
nent lawyers IN Great Britain. They argue that the
justest OF Judges and the most impartial and intell-
gent OF uries are liable to error Mistakes OF den
ty, misconstructions OF circumsantia evidence and
other errors to which humanity is liable render if
certain that innocent persons are convicted at times
matter how great may be the care to give the ac
cused the benefit Of every doubt At present in Great
Britain the presumption is that the court can do no
wrong and when once convicted the accused person
has no recourse except to appeal for mercy
Had Dreyfus been convicted in Great Britain he
could not have had the benefit of the rehearng Of his
case which has been accorded to him under French
law by decree of the Court of Cessation 1t is not
strange that IN the light of the evidence now being
brought out at Rennes thoughtful Fnglshtnen
should consider seriously whether it would not be
well to provide for "a similar appeal in case there
should ever be mistake of Justice in their own
country.

ing plants, to be run by the trust will be built or
leased The gain to the concern will be in cheap buy
ing and reduction of expenses in keeping stocks UP
to date.
The scheme has not yet been worked out. 1t ap-
pears there is good deal of opposition to it on the
part OF the larger proprietors who are reported by
the Post as saying that individually they would pre-
fer to run their own business While admitting that
much could be saved to the smaller department stores
which at present unable to purchase entire mill
productions, they thought that the plan would
a general similarity in stocks and an undesirable
absence OF the many specialties used by department
store owners to draw trade
If the plan OF the company be carried out long
step will have been taken toward getting rid OF the
middemen in all branches of trade in products
handled by the big stores Something very much like
Bellan1ys system of economical handling OF business
will have been accomplished but it is not likely there
would be any real benefit flowing from it for the great
mass of consumers

A DEPARTMENT STORE TRUST.

Y. HEN the great department stores with their
" immense capital and vast variety Of goods for
elt in the retail trade there naturally arose a consid-
cradle antagonism the part OF the smaller dealers
Later the larger of such stores began to deal d-
recty with manufacturers, and then the wholesale men
and obbers felt the pinch and joined the protests Now
comes report from New York of still further de
veopment OF the big stores that may in the end hurt
the manufacturers themselves.
The departure is the organization of a vast
trust to include all the department stores of the
United States. The is under the direction
OF corporation known the Mercantile Reorgani-
zaton Company. According to a report in the New
York Post the plans of this department store trust
include capitalization of $4,000 900, half in common
and half in preferred stock. An offer for underwr-
ing this stock has already been made by large bank
ing house OF that city. The owners Of department
stores to remain resident managers and are to
receive stock in the trust in payment for their stores
but the buying is to be done abroad by the truss s
buyers and in American markets in very large lots

Appointments Made by Chief Clemans
Yesterday.
Yesterday Extraman Wells was pro-
NOTED by Chief Clemans to- fill the
position vacated by Officer Marshall.
"Bill'' Turner was appointed to the
place formerly filled by Officer Gardner,
and John Donovan was made extraman,
to fill the vacancy caused by Mr.. Wells
promotion.
The Register yesterday stated that
Ex-Officer MarshalPs offense was play
ing a piano in an Alley c house after
midnight. This statement does not ap-
pear to be satisfactory, and in view of
that it may be said that in reality his
offense was very much worse. The
Register handled this official and dis
graceful matter very moderately. Full
details are at hand, however. Officer
Gardner denies strenously that he play
ed or attempted to play a piano, but
admits he was at the door of house
Sunday night after midnight, and call
ed a piano player out, and further al
leges that Officer Walker came along
and accused him of melting the pro
lessor to play latter hours an accu-
sation Gardner denies.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

LONDON, August 10.-The Hon. Sir
Ford North, Judge of the Chancery
division of the High Court of Justice,
rendered an important judgment to-
day. He granted the London Times an
injunction restraining a publisher nam
ed Lane from re-printing speeches of
Lord Rosebery, admittedly taken from
the Times. The judge held that the re-
porter had copyright in his report
and that this copyright had been ac-
quired by the Times
