the pefuiciOus influences that were be
ing spread forth from that place pre-
sents itself to them. and no words are
adequate to them to express their nor
ror of such depravity.
The development Of this state of af-
fairs came ike thuuderbOl, from clear
skies TO every one in the neighb9rhood
of the springs. By all who kne w him
and were acquainted with him, Collins
was considered a highly respectable old
man. and that any wrong would come
to their boys from assOCiating with him
was the last thought of any father or
mother. In FACE. some were SO Ue-
cefved they preferred their boys 10 be
with the old man rather than the
other boys. because it was thought
they would be freer from mischief and
wrong-doing. That such conditions ex-
listed as the boys admit existed never
even limited itself to the minds of 9th
ers than the boys themselves.
Mr.. Felt. in speaking OF his boys con-
nection with the awful affair, attrib-

this perniciOus influence, supported and
embrazoned by the lurid ideas gath
cred from Brady detective stories.

Continued from Page u

attorney general adverts at some length
10 the difficulty in disposing of these
cases, each different from the other
and without exact precedent, and he
falls back on the principle recognized
in International law that the Drepon-
derant characteristics must control the
determination. He enters into lOEg CT
tation of cases in the nature of prece-
dents. and says, in conclusion:
while decisions of such matters
have, as in the Alabama case, princi-
pally concerned war vessels and ex-
petitions by sea, it cannot be doubted
that aid given to an army engaged in
actual warfare stands on the same
footing as aid given TO fleet SO en-
gagged, since both equally involve a
taking part by the neutral in further
ing the military operations of the bel
ligerent
From all that has been said, I think
it may be concluded that in determin-
ing whether a transaction of the kind
referred to, which, in one respect, is
commercial in character, is yet not en-
titled to enjoy the rights belonging TO
commerce, but is prohibited TO the
neutral nation and its people as being
an aid to one Of the belligerents in car
rying on war against the other, the
criteria are practically impossible to
specify and enumerate in advance
Each case that arises must be consid-
cred in al its circumstances and de
termined accordingly"

London, April Ben Hur." which
was produced at the Drury Lane the

ly to schieve success here until it is
remodeled. The lack OF skill in dealing
with religion is strongly condemned
by the newspapers, and causes a great
deal Of "boohipg' and kissing on the
opening night. The general opinion is
that the play should end wita the
chariot race. This is well voiced in
the London Times. which says.
Any capable hack playwright could
have put together a better setting for
the features Of the story, and we should
be spared the modifying mixture of re-
ligiOus elements with that particular
kind Of melodrama which has lis home
