COURT DECIDES
A NOVEL CASE
Holds That Pearl Found in
Oyster Does Not Belong to
Man Who Sold Crustacean
PURCHASER GETS GEM
Opinion Results From Suit
Filed by Restaurant Man
Against Woman Customer

HAMBURG, April 1.-The Supreme
Court here to-day rendered a decision
in the case of a pearl, valued at over
$3.50, found in her mouth by a woman
who, accompanied by a male escort,
was eating oysters In restaurant.
The woman claimed the pearl and her
escort supported her claim, but the
proprietor of the restaurant sued to
recover the gem on the ground that
shells, like chicken bones, were by ira
dition left by customers and were
source. of profit to the proprietor.
The court decided that the pearl did
not belong to the woman who found it.
or to the proprietor of the restaurant.
but to the man who paid for the
oysters.
In rendering its decision the court
pointed out that If the ownership of
the pearl were to repose in the restau-
rant proprietor instead of the person
who paid for the oysters, then its
ownership might as well be carried
back to the oyster dealer who sup
piled the restaurant proprietor with
the oyster and thence to the fisherman
who took the pearl oyster from its bed.

STARTLING BUT PLAUSIBLE
THEORY OF SHIPWRECkS

In a recent note on the loss of the
Norge on Rockall Island, attention
was called to an inquiry started by
Professor Krogh of Copenhagen,
whether the compass of the Danish
steamer had been disturbed by some
mysterious magnetic influence. 1t was
shown that in two other instances the
compasses of steamers in the neigh
borhood of Rockall had been DETECTED
as much as ten to twenty degrees. On
this subject Mr.. Arthur Harvey, F. R..
S. (Ca.), writes to us from Toronto to
say that he investigated the question
some time ago, and in paper on Ter
restrial Magnetism" he quoted state
ment that the influence on the COM
pass of a great mass of basaltic rocks
can be traced at a distance of fifty
miles" This dictum, he says, rested on
high authority and there are besides
authenticated instances in many cases
of the influence being felt for twenty
miles, Mr.. Harvey was led to ask
whether masses of rock which ordinar-
lily have slight effect on the compass
could set it all wrong during q mag
netic storm, and whether at such times
submerged reefs derange the needle :?
He was assisted by the officers of the
Allan line steamers, who reported cases
of extraordinary compass reflections
near shores, one of the worst being the
south coasts of Devonshire and Corn
wall. This popularity. If confirmed.
might explain the otherwise unac-
countable stranding of one of the
American liners on the Manacles.
A great number of wrecks have been
piled up on certain parts of the island
of Newfoundland, especially near Cape
Race, also in the Gulf of ST. Lawrence,
and on the Atlantic Coast of southwest
Nova Scotia. The navigators usually
ascribe the losses to erratic currents,
but Mr.. Harvey thinks they may be
due to compass disturbances, as the
rocks and headlands are mostly primi-
tive basalts. Messrs. Allan and 9TH
ers have urged the Canadian Govern
ment to make a complete magnetic
survey of these coasts. 1t seems to be
certain that there exist rocks and
shoals where there is a constant de-
Election of the needle. One such is the
region of the Niagara Falls, around
which the magnetic lines curve re-
spectfully, and in several places north
of the great lakes the compass will
scarcely work at ALL" Rockall may be
similar spot, the influence of which
is possibly much increased during
magnetic storms. Our correspondent
makes the valuable suggestion that
ships approaching such places should
be warned by wireless telegraphy.

PRESIDENTS RULED
BY UNWRITTEN LAW
They Must Not Leave the Country,
Even for a Day.

The President must not leave the
United States even for a day. This is
an old. unwritten law, which has been
respected by all successors of George
Washington, with perhaps one or two
exceptions. This restriction is not inn
posed by statute. President Mckinley
emphasized his respect for this rule
On his tour TO the South and West. 1t
was unofficially announced that he
would meet President Diaz of Mexico
somewhere near the boundary of that
sister republic. A controversy as to
whether Mr.. Mckinley might properly
cross the Mexican line, even for a few
hours, arose. Early in May, when he
visited Ell Paso, Tex, where he was
greeted by President Diaz's personal
representative. he expressed a desire
TO take look into Mexico.
From Ell Paso there extends into
Mexico the International bridge SPAN
ming the Rio Grande. Whether the
President would dare to cross this
structure or not was the question
which members of his party asked one
another. He did not. He went to the
bridge and caught a view of the Sierra
Madre. Half way across the bridge was
a line. Stepping over this was putting
foot upon Mexican territory.
President Harrison had ventured as
far as this line ten years before But
President Mckinley did not so much
as place his foot upon the bridge. Pres
ident Arthur was accused of violating
this unWritten law in October, 1888,
upon a pleasure trip TO Alexandria
Bay, Thousand Islands. His political
enemies accused him then Of venturing
across the Canadian line on a fishing
excursion. The boundary between Can
ada and New York extends to the mid
die Of the st. Lawrence River.
President Cleveland was similarly
accused. On one of his hunting trips
to North Carolina he sailed by the
ocean route past Cape Hatteras His
enemies contended that he ventured
outside the three-mile limit. According
to international law a country's pos
sessions extend for three miles out
side it's coast line. Plying the seas far

CREEK INDIANS DRAW
THE COLOR LINE CLOSE
Won't Have Negroes Formerly Their
Slaves Sit in Council

The, color line is being drawn in the
Creek council for the first time in the
history of the Creek nation. There
are number of negro members of
both houses of the council. who were
elected by their negro constituents.
who were formerly slaves of the In
dians.
The negroes have equal rights as
citizens of the Creek nation with the
Indians and these rights have never
been called in question until this year
A few of the Indian members of the
council take the position that the
Creek negroes are no longer wards
of the Government, since their re-
strlctions have been removed and they
may dispose of their land at will.
They argue that with the removal of
restrictions comes REIMBURSEMENT of
citizenship and therefore their right
ceases to assist in making the laws
of the Creek nation.
AS evidence of the feeling among
some of the Indians, negroes who have
been making speeches on the floor of
the council have been called down by
Indian members and reminded in
various ways that their solicitude in
behalf of the Government is not ap-
preciated.
The more conservative members in
the council, while they admit that
they would prefer that their member
ship should be confined to Indians
say that there is no means by which
the negroes can be excluded, and they
do not expect any attempt in that di-
rection.
The race question is as vital to the
Indians as to the white people and
most of them look upon the negroes
as their interiors.
Creeks nor the members of any
other tribe in the Territory will send
their children to school with negroes,
and separate schools are provided by
the Indian governments for both
races. Their presence in legislative
nails is the natural and unavoidable
result of the action of the Creeks after
the close of the war in allowing their
freed slaves to stay in their country.
making them citizens. This gave
them communal interest in the
common lands of the Creeks and car
r1ed with it the right to vote and elect
representatives to their councils
There are a number of highly edu-
Gated negroes in the Creek nation who
have had considerable to say about
running the Creek Government. These
negroes talk Creek and English with
equal fiuency and are not opposed in
their ambitions except by the South
ern element and descendants of old
ve-owners.-Chicago Chronicle.
