WASHINGTON, July io-The reasons for

pressed condition Of the Rumaniau Jews

The correspondence shows that on Aug.

diplomatic representatives to those coun-
tries who were parties to the Berlin treaty
OF 1878, to endeavor to induce those Powers
to persuade Rumania to consider the
subject Of the grievances Of tho Jews In
that country. In a letter to Minister Jack
son at Athens Mr.. Hay asked him, on his
first visit to umanla, to endeevor TO learn
whether these overs had made any repre-

In his reply, Mr.. jackson said that, % far

Mr., Banta's Charge.

Mr. THEODORE NJ. BANTA Of Kings
county, q Democrat Of years and ex-
perience, fails utterly to produce any
evidence worthy Of consideration in
support of the charge made by him that
Chief Judge ALTON r. PARKER of the
Court Of Appeals indulged in political
trick when he sent to Mr.. WILLIAM F.
SHEEHAN on the final day Of tho Demo-
cratic national convention his telegram
defining his attitude toward the monetary
system Of the country. The sending OF
the telegram Mr.. BANTA characterizes
as an act of "shiftiness, and direct
appeal to Wall Street for campaign
funds Judge PARKER, according to
Mr.. BANTA, is unsafe and "untrnst-
worthy This critic OF the Democratic
nominee declares his view of the thoughts
In Judge PARKER's mind between 9
o'clock p. NJ, on July 8 and noon on
July in these words;
We al know on Friday Afternoon that this
action had been taken, and Judge PAaxsR Ger.
,atnly must have known oft wen as the rest Of U.S.

edly realised that he did this he could not be nom.

But Mr.. BANTA does not prove his case.
The nearest approach to bit OF evidence
cited by him 10 In these words:
IT 10 ,nconocivahle to me that man whose
entire future wss concerned In tho action OF that
convention. and pupil OF DAVID 3. HuA. should
have taken % little interest in the proceedings In
st. Louis that he did not know Friday night that
the COMMITTEES on resolutions had omitted the
gold plank"
It is "inconceivable to Mr.. BAETA
that Judge PARKER did not know that
the gold plank had been elided from the
platform, and this inoonceivability he
regards as sufficient reason for denounc-
ing Judge PARKER ss 'shifty" and an
immoral political trickster Few Demo-
Gratis certainly, and probably few Repub-
lcans, will care to follow the lead Of Mr..
BANTA. Tho charge he makes is serious
one. The evidence In support Of II which
he discloses Is frivolous and foolish. In
less he is able to subetantiate the charge,
he ought to be ashamed to have made it.

From this statement OF the law II Is
manifest that there can be no possible
justification for the act Of the deputy
sheriff at Patchogue.
- In condemning his conduct, however,
we do not mean to be understood that
the public have not genuine grievance
against those who drive automobiles
along public highways in defiance Of
the regulations prescribed by statute.
But the remedy Is not to be found in
violation Of the law by officers them
selves. II the Magistrates before whom
these cases come would impose the
severest penalty which the statute per-
mits, we believe the ardor OF law defying
automobilists would soon be greatly
chastened and tempered. 1t Is simply
silly to impose a fine Of $40 upon the
owner Of ten thousand dollar machine
for driving it at a speed exceeding the
legal rate. A few days imprisonment
in each case in the Suffolk county jail
at Riverhead would have a greater
deterrent effect than all the fines which
can be imposed under the statute put

Shooting at Automobiles.

A few days ago deputy sheriff of
Suffolk county fred three pistol shots at
the occupants of an automobile which
was speeding through the village OF
Patchogue at a rate alleged to be in
excess Of that permitted by law. There
has been a good deal of discussion as to
the propriety Of this action on the part
Of the peace officer, but strangely enough
the legal aspects Of the occurrence have
been totally ignored. It seems to be
assumed that an officer endeavoring
to arrest q person charged with any
offence, however trivial. has the right
TO kill II need be In order TO apprehend
the offender.
The law. In truth. is quite otherwise.
II this deputy sheriff had killed any one
Of the inmates Of the automobile in his
attempt to arrest them he would have
been guilty Of murder.
There s just one contingency in which
it is justifiable to kill an offender who is
endeavoring to escape arrest; that is
when he has committed an offence Of
the grade Of felony and when it Is abso-
lutely necessary to take his life in order
TO prevent his escape.
But II any offence at all was COM
mitted In the Patchogue case it did not
rise above the grade Of misdemeanor,
and the law does not under any circum-
stances authorize killing in order to
effect the arrest OF a man for such an
offence.
This is not a subject about which
there b any doubt or question. The law
sa the subject has been settled for years.
Nowhere Is It more clearly laid down
than in a decision rendered as long ago
a. 1852 by the General Term Of the Second
Judicial District In which the village
Of Patchogue Ia situated. This case can
be found reported in the fifth volume of
PARKBR's Criminal Reports at page 234,
under the title OF CoNRADDY against
The People.
The prisoner was a police officer and
had arrested the deceased without a
warrant and shot at him and killed him
as he was endeavoring to escape from
custody. The deceased at most had
been guilty Of misdemeanor, but not a
felony; and upon the trial the Court had
charged the jury that the prisoner was
not justified in shooting the deceased in
order to prevent his escape This in
struction was sustained as correct in
the appellate branch Of the court. The
opinion was written by Mr. Justice
EMoTT, who said: The distinction Ia
marked between cases Of misdemeanor
and OF felony. 1t is only in the latter that
homicide is justi6ahle by any person
acting without a warrant, even when it
