LAYING DOWN THE LAW.

It Is always a matter of doubt in most minds whether a policeman or other officer has a right to shoot at an escaping prisoner or not. One of the judges of the Supreme Court of New York has laid down the law as far as his jurisdiction Is concerned, in very terse and decided language. A Brook lyn policeman shot at an escaping man and fatally wounded boy. The father sued the policeman for damages, and the latter's lawyer asked the court to dismiss the suit on the ground that as the oficer was shooting at an alleged law-breaker who was escaping. he was justified and could not be held liable" The ruling of the judge was short and to the point. He said:
 You want me to rule as a matter of law that the officer was justihed? A police officer has no more right to dis charge a revolver in the streets than you or have. Motion denied"
 We presume that is conclusive, at least for that State. though whether the dictum of that Judge will be held and needed as good law elsewhere Is a matter of doubt. Whether . policeman or other officer has a right to shoot at an escaping prisoner is questioned. It is still more questionable if he has any right to shoot at one who is only suspected of having committed an off, fense, but in any case no one can claim that the officer has a right to endanger the lives of others, and that Is one of the main causes of just complaint in a city. There is nearly always crowd in the streets and the best marksman. especially when firing at fleeing ob- ject. may miss his mark and hit an- other, as in the Brooklyn case. If the father of the murdered boy Is sustained in the courts it may have a good effect, and at least cause officers to be more careful.

The Sport of Automosiii.g

T don't see why autonoblling is not more popular in Montgomery" said an enthusiast of the benxfne bug gies yesterday. We have as hne roads around Montgomery as one will ind anywhere in this section of the country and automobile touring would simply be a delight through the coun- try adjacent to Montgomery County.
 The big machines are yet consid. cred by many people as passing fad but that is, of course, an erroneous idea. They have come to stay and their stay of popularity will not be limited as was the case with the bf"
 Another thing that frequently hear and which annoys me every time hear a person talk 50, is that auto mobiles are dangerous and that their lives are too sweet to them to ride In the machines. They then cite the many accidents that almost daily re-. suit from automobiles and condemn the entire sport for the breaks of . lot of cheaply- built and cheaply- priced machines. If that is not the case, then 1t Is some fool running . tremendously powerful machine along some country road at terrific rate of speed and smashing into some obsta- c1o and killing himself.
 ITO a sensible man who knows mod eration when he sees it, automobiles are not only source of pleasure and delight but give sensation of joy that cannot be derived from other sports

INDOOR PRACTICE FOR MILITIA.
General Drain Provides Rifles for All
Companies for Winter Use,

OLYMPIA, WASH, Nov. 2s.-Adju-
tant General James A. Drain is prepar-
ing a system of indoor target practice
for the use Of the various companies
of the national guard during the winter
months.
The ordinary Krag- Jorgensen rifle,
in use is of too heavy caliber for indoor
work, so number of rifle barrels of
% caliber have been secured and are.
used to replace the 30-caliber barrels
in the regular service rifle. For the
present only one of the made up rifles
will be issued to each company, but
each company will be expected to pre-
pare an indoor range, in accordance
with directions issued by the adjutant
general. and conduct a system of IN
door practice all winter.
The rifles for each company have
been made up and were tested today
on fifty-foot range prepared in the
basement Of the capitol annex. The
sights were set so that the guns are
now absolutely accurate and they will
probably be shipped to the companies
tomorrow.

SWALLOWS ACID BY MISTAKE.
Mrs. James J. Crotty Drinks Poison,
Thinking It Was Beer.

SEATTLE, Nov. 2S.-Mrs. Leila May
Crotty, wife of James ]. Crotty, of
Crotty & Allison, lawyers, took car
bolic acid by mistake at o'clock yes
wards died from the effects of the
poison. The accident occurred at the
Crotty home. 1927 Ninth avenue. Mr..
Crotty was in another room when he
heard his wife cry, Come here, Jim
quick"
He ran to his wife at once and de-
tected the odor of carbolic acid. He
asked Mrs. Crotty if she had taken the
acid, but the woman, who was then
partly paralyzed, murmured some
thing that could not be understood.
She Immediately fell over to the floor.
Mr. Crotty gave her big glass of
milk and then ran to a drug store to
secure alcohol, which is one of the
best antidotes known for carbolic acid
poisoning. On the way to the store DR..
Eberly was called. Within ten minutes
after the drug had been swallowed the
physician was in the house. Everything
possible was done to save the unfor-
tunate woman, but nothing availed.
She died at o'clock.
For several days Mrs Crotty has
been using beer for medicinal pur-
poses. Last evening she drank a part of
glass of beer and set the glass on
the kitchen table. Then she diluted
carbOlic acid in another glass that was
set near the beer.
