An Interesting Document.

ABOUT the most interesting docu-
ment that has fallen into my hands
of late is a copy of the Hearings on
the Proposed Repeal of the Desert
land Act before the Committee OF
Irrigation of Arid Lands. This, it
will be remembered, is Mr.. Mondells
committee, and ii was at the hearings
held before this committee that our
mutual friend, the arch enemy, Mr..
Maxwell, unblushingly admitted that
he was handling a corruption fund OF
over $4,000, contributed by the rail
roads, for the purpose OF having all
OF the land laws repealed that would
interfere with the railroads in the dis
position Of the 2,5O0,O0O acres of
scrip, which is to be issued to them,
in lieu of the lands they now hold in
the different forest reserves.
| would advise all who wish to get
facts at first hand, concerning this
Maxwell business, to get a copy Of
that report and read it. 1t is AS iu-
teresting as a novel to those who have
followed this land question down to
the present point, and YOU are filled
with interest to know how the charac,
tiers are going to come out. But
does it not strike you very forcibly,
that there must be something in such
a scheme for the railroads, when it
will induce them to put up $4,000
towards promoting it, Think this

RusslA AND ENGLAND.

A 5 MIGHT have been anticipated
~ there is danger OF complications
arising out Of the struggle in
the Far East, which viii embroi other
powers. In an instant by the seizure
Of a British liner. Russia has aroused
all England. The crisis is really grave.
as it is reported that an English bat
tleship has been sent 10 retake the ship.
Russia did more than stop this ves-
sci OF a neutral nation on the high seas;
she has held the merchantmen as a
prize Of war and is attempting to send
her back through the Suez Canal TO a
Black sea port. Should the prize be
recaptured by force Of arms. Il will
be equivalent TO a declaration of war;
and that would undoubtedly have a
tendency to draw all Europe into the
conflict.
There appears 10 be great concern
over Russla's attitude. She has taken
full armed cruiser through the Dar-
dinelles in defiance OF the Treaty of
London. She has assumed the right to
police the Red Sea, stopping and board
ing mail steamers at win. These police
boats are men OF war one day and the
next they fly the oomemrcial nag.
OF course England does not want
war. and to the ordinary observer she
has preserved strict neutrality. But no
nation with great commerce can con-
sent to see it paralyzed and virtually
swept from the seas because another
power happens to be at war, And, too
1t is in times like these that precedents
are established. There has been a ten
dency in recent years to emphasize
neutrality and to confne war operations
to the nations Involved. The nations
OF Europe. and particularly England
cannot afford to see this policy re-
versed. There is a suspicion that Rus
sia is not averse to drawing other pow
ers into her controversy. that she may
make terms Of peace with a better face

A valuable bull dog belonging to
Adolph Thomas, died yesterday as the
result of being poisoned by some ma

Quantities Of broken stone have been
put on Main street to fill up the un-

Of a majority Of the patrons of the
school, and a nUmerously signed petit
tion was presented to the board to have
him retained. At meeting Of the
commissioners last week a delegation
of the prominent citizens waited on the
board and urged that Mr. Tammany
be reelected, but it was of no avail as
the board was determined to oust him.
The matter has aroused much feeling

Ancient Laws That Gave Shelter and
Protection 10 Criminals.
In early times. when life and prop
erty were accounted cheap unless de
Tended sword IN hand, the church Of
fered shelter and sanctuary to those
who had occasion to fear the arm of
the law. In the middle ages whoever
crossed the threshold OF a church was
considered under divine protection and
could not be arrested, while several
churches and cathedrals still preserve
the knockers used by those who had
fed thither for shelter and claimed ad-
mittance. In some buildings the fugi-
tive from Justice sat upon a chair or
stool, and the register Of a church in
Durham, England, covering a period
extending from the year 1464 to the
year 1924 included, besides other
crimes, 1875 murders and homicides. in
which 2S3 persons seeking protection
were concerned. To attempt TO violate
sanctuary by force was in those days
very serious matter, and when the
outlaw decided to save his life by leav-
ing the realm he did so in the follow
ing manner: when a robber, murderer
or other evil doer shall fly unto any
church upon his confession Of felony
the coroner shall cause the abjuration
TO be made thus: Let the felon be
brought 70 the church door and there
be assigned unto him port, near or
far of. and time appointed to him to
go out Of the realm, so that in going
toward that port he carry cross in
his hand. and that he go not out of the
kings highway. neither on the right
hand nor on the left, but that he keep
it always until he shall be gone out Of

"HERE were 1900 boys and men
at the public bath house yester-
day. At one time there were
nearly 1000 trying TO get relief from

disputed that the bath house cannot
accommodate comfortably one-half Of
that number.
