DIFFICULTIES or IDENTIFICATION.

A strange case OF the mistakes into
man. and the wonderful effect II has
on his mind caused Mr.. Paul Taylor 10
address some strong remarks to a con-
stable. An individual appeared in the
dock at Southwark. and when he was
asked to plead to a charge of willfully
breaking some iron ratings in front
of house in Bermondsey, remarked.
with some confusion. that he was In the
wrong place. that the accused was his
brother. and that he had only attended
the court as a witness. The constable
said the person in the dock was the de-
fendant. and that he had been on bail.
But here, again, there was an error.
The accused man had not been ad-
mitted TO bail at least, the man in the
dock said his brother was stlll detained
in custody. Upon this, the constable
said he knew the accused person quite
well, and knew his family, about which
he proceeded to give details, and he
would assure his worship that the man
in the dock was the person "who had
committed the alleged offence" says
the London Telegraph.
Just as the policeman's strong views
were beginning to overcome the Judi
cial doubt the real defendant was pro-
duced from the cells. where he had been
overlooked. The most curious part OF
the case was that the two brothers were
not In the least alike. and there was
no possible excuse for confusing one
with the other. But, such is the power
of prejudice that the constable on see
ing the man in. the dock was prepared
to swear he was the person wanted
Such an incident is a strong comment
on the value of identification, and also
affords an illustration of the necessity
for testing a policeman's evidence. Mr..
Paul Taylor expressed his sympathy
with the victim. and while not blam-
ing the officer, warned him to be more
careful in the future.

FOR VICE PRESIDENCY
Weeduft's Friends Say He Should
Have The Nomination.
Neither Governor Roosevelt Nor Bliss VIII
Accept II, 'Tis Said.

New York. April 11.--Anent the talk
concerning the visit of Senator Hanna
to New York and the assertion that ne
offered the Republican vice presidential
nomination TO Cornelius N. Bliss, the
Herald says today:
The situation I'm this state regarding
the vice presidency is becoming strain
ed. MIR. Bliss does not like the outlook.
Governor Roosevelt is losing his tenn
per. Lieut.. Governor Woodruff desires
the endorsement CT the approaching
state convention. The policy is to pre-
vent any endorsement and throw the
question over to Philadelphia. If an
effort were made by the machine TO en-
dorse either Governor Roosevelt or Mr..
Bliss for vice president. Mr.. Woodruff's
friends would make a row. They are
likely to make row as IL is. They say
the lieutenant governor is the only man
in the state who is willing TO take the
nomination and that his services to
the party give him title 10 the place.
Friends OF Mr.. Bliss take the posi-
ton that the Republican state organi-
zafion should at once end all uncer-.
tainty regarding Governor Roosevet's
political future by declaring IL to be its
intention TO renominate Ne governor.
They say the governor having made
known his desire for denomination Is
entitled to IL. On the other hand Mr..
Bliss is just as emphatic as ever in
saying that he does not want to be
nominated for vice president although
he will not be formally interviewed. He
has said so to Senator Hanna, and
despite reports 10 the contrary he has
not changed his mind.
"Mr. Bliss originally suggested, Sec
retary OF War Root for the second
place on the ticket and Mr.. Root de-
cfined TO permit the use of his name.
Mr.. Bliss has suggested Secretary OF
the Navy Long and he has urged that
Mr.. Long is about the strongest candi-
date that could be named"
