death of Oscar L. Booz, of Reading, Pa,
which Is causing much discussion at

caused by hazing, az the enemies of the

European nations made to parts of
America on the same ground two or

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
officer Can shoot thu Wrong Man
and not be held on his Bond.

The United States Court of Appeals
decided Monday that when an officers
posse makes a mistake and shoots the
wrong man the officers surety is not
responsible on his bond. The decis-
ion IS unique, notable and far-reach-
ing. 1t was rendered in the case of
james Chandler, plaintiff in error.
against Samuel Rutherford and others,
defendants in error. The liability of
sureties for federal officers for the
acts of the officers is the question at
issue.
The defendants liz error were surties
for "A deputy marshal in the Indian
Territory. The deputy organized a
posse to arrest d horsethief. The
plaintiff in esror, Chandler, was walk
ing with a woman in Mucogee after
dark. and the posse mistOok him for
the horsethief, shot a. him, w%OunGing
him seriously. He sued the marshal's
sureties for So, 900. The lower court
held that they were not responsible
under the circumstances and the higher
court sustains this opinion.

BIG SHIPS.
Our Three New Naval Vessels Will
be the Greatest .Af1oat.

The Naval Board on Construction
to-day finally approved the plans for
three ~battleships authorized by the
last Congress .and gave instructions
to have specifications prepared at
once, preliminary to calling for bids
from the shipbuilders. The ships will
be enlarged Iowas in type. with the
same rectangular Superstructure and
the two turrets. bow and Stern, on
the main deck Fhe turret guns will
be twelve inch caiiber, like the Iowa 5
guns: there will be Il turret at each
corner OF the Supcrstructure carrying
two 'eight-inch guns and twelve sin
inch rapid-firers will be disposed
along the sides of the central citadel.
The ships will make nineteen knots
speed and have IA displacement of
about 10. 800 tons. making these new
ships by lar the largest III the United
States Navy and as big as latest type
OF British armored cruiser. AS the
constructors are limited in the draughI,
by our shallow harhors, to Il little
over twenty-five feet and as seventy
five feet represents about the greatest
beam consistent with speed, it Will be
necessary to provide for the weights
by giving the ships more length than
the Iowa class. and they will be almost
40 feet long. The secondary battcr-e
will be made up largely OF fourteen
Founders. Altogether, the ships will
be more than equal to any warships
of their size in the worlds navies.

Bloomfield Cosmos: The best tim
Der OF Southeast Missouri is rapidly
disappearing and several kinds will
soon be exhausted. The great groves
of walnut and poplar found in our
river bottoms have long since disap-
peared. At the present rate of cut
ting there will practically be no white
oak in the district after 1915. The red
oak and gum are also going at a good
rate and cannot be counted on after
1915. The hickory will be exhausted
even sooner. Fortunately, in most OF
the bottom lands where the timber is
being removed good farms are being
opened and cultivated. But this is
not true as to much of the pine lands.
The state of Missouri should take
| more interest in the wholesale destruc-
ton of timber before public interests
are injured, as in New York and the
eastern states and several states of
Europe, where an effort is being made
to re-establish forests to prevent in
furious changes to the climate.

That question, SO important TO many

spanked and otherwise abused Miss
Eva Palmer, Is years old, her step
daughter. and of having tried to
assault Mrs. Ezekiel Mead, Miss Eva's
aunt, who protected her against Mrs.
Palmer. The testimony OF Miss Eva

Mrs. Palmer had punished her step

Spanked her.
Threatened to shoot her.
Put her to bed in the day time.
