son that he vetoed the hunt to which

line of railroad. and it is said to be one
Of the best pack of hounds in the south

speak to yard switchman or an engineer
in his cab on siding. The crowd was
amazed at this display of unconventional

started to follow the president, but he
waved them back. The police, however,
took care TO keep the crowd back at the

POLITICAL CORRUPTION
DISCUSSED BIfRABBl

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-"Political cor
ruption" was the subject of an address
before the Peoples Institute at Cooper
Union by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, OF
Portland, Oregon.
1.-THE most prolific source OF polltlcaI
corruption" he said, sis the spirit Of
blind bigotted partisanship. Men think
today that parties arc ends in themselves.
They are only means to the end which
is the country's good.
political corruption could not last an
hour if the so-called respectable classes
did not tolerate and support 1t.
LET us have an end to this Irish
American, German-American, or Zulu
American. We are Americans, 1 am
an American. In my religion and moral
teaching 1 am a Jew. but 1 would not
vote for a Jew unless he were three
times as good as his opponent, for fear
that he might discredit that religion"

MAY LOSE EYES
AS RESULT Of
EXPLOSION
DR.. HARRIS, OF LAGRANGE, BY
MISTAKE MIKES NITRIC AND
MURlATIC ACIDS, WHICH EX-
PL0DE IN HIS FACE.

Pouring nitric acid into bottle contain
ing muriatic acid, DR.. Steve Harris, OF
LAGRANGE caused an explosion at his
Office Tuesday, and which has resulted IN
such frightful injuries to his eyes that ne
may lose his sight. although considerable
hope is now expressed by his physician.
Dr. Harris was brought to Atlanta BY
his wife and his brother. DR.. s. w. Har-
ris, Jr., and taken to DR.. Holmes SAM
tarium, where an examination was made
Tuesday night by DIR. Crawford. While
the danger is great, DR.. Crawford has as
sured both Dr. Harris and Mrs. Harris
that a few days may show no permanent
injury to have been sustained.
The accident occurred about noon tues
day DR.. Harris was arranging to take
home some nitric acid to make certain
test. He picked up a smaller bottle, ap-
parently empty, in which to pour the
nitric acid. The smaller bottle, however,
contained a small quantity Of muriatic
acid and when the two came in contact
the explosion followed These acids pro-
duce an explosion of the most violent
character when put together.
Dr. Harris was stunned and practically
blinded. The flying glass and fumes in
fiicted much injury to his face and eyes,
though the latter were somewhat pro-
tected by the spontaneous closing Of the
eyelids. One OF the dangers now is that
the lid may grow to the eye itself.
1t will be several days, says DR.. Craw-
ford, before the exact nature OF injury can
be determined and before it can be post
lively told what permanent results wiz
come from the explosion. He states,
however, that he considers DR.. Harris
chances good.
Dr. Harris is the son Of Judge 5. W.
Harris, of the Coweta district Of this
state. He Is a physician of prominence
and is well connected

OF delfoeration and generalization to con-
stItute murder in the first degree. 1t is
eontended here by the prosecution, he
went on. that II this defendant is found
guilty he will be guilty Of murder In the
sci has made no argument in this regard
but YOU are required to consider those
things in reaching your decision
saThe defendant IS presumed 10 be inno-
cent until the evidence shows his guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt The burden
OF proof never shifts. 1t is always with
the state TO prove guilt and not for the
defendant 10 prove innocence
1T is not easy to impart to a jury
the legal definition Of a reasonable doubt.
II his guilt has not been shown to you
beyond a reasonable doubt, you must ac-
quit him. A reasonable doubt should
be actual and substantial and not founded
on q mere possibility"
Judge Lambert summed up the admitted
facts in the case. the sending of the
package from tn general postoffice, its
receipt at the Knickerbocker Athletic club
and its administration 10 Mrs. Adams by
Cornish. who received It at the club.
1T is necessary" he said, ffor the state
TO prove that the defendant sent this
package. that IL was received by Cornish
and innocently administered to Mrs.
Adams before you can ind this defendant
guilty. 1t is for you to say / fthe nee
essary evidence has been submitted"
ssOne of the most important efforts OF
the prosecution has been TO conect this
defendant with the address on that poison
package. The state has attempted to do
that by witnesses from banks and by wit
neSses brought to you as handwriting ex-
perts. 1t is contended by the prosecution
that the defendant wrote that address.
Unless that is proven the defendant can
not be convicted Of any crime.
so, you see, that is the central portion
of the evidence. That is a fact the state
Is compelled TO prove"
Justice Lambert recited the evidence of
the handwriting experts on both sides and
said:
Talks Of Handwriting Experts.
Il shall not discuss any OF that testi-
mony. The law places the burden of that
discussion upon you. You are entitled to
exercise your own judgment regarding
these disputed points. The opinions OF
these experts are not controlling upon
you. You are under no legal requirements
TO believe what they told you.
You have TO take the responsibility for
your own decision. II the peoples case
stands on the question OF handwriting ii
should be dismissed, but IL the contention
OF the prosecution is sustained In other
respects You may consider the handwrit-
ing.
did the defendant obtain the Tiffany
box from Tiffany & Co? There is no evil
dence here that he did. but evidence has
been submitted that he had an account
there. The most that can be said for
that point is that he had the opportunity.
