hangers o the New York theaters are
highly pleased with the recent decis-
ion Of Justice j. H. Brown, of the
Pennsylvania supreme court, bearing
upon the rights of theaters and their
patrons. and express the hope that the
principle involved In the decision will
also be recognized by the New York
courts. The decision referred to was
given by Justice Brown in Pittsburg,
Pa, In the suit Of Wilbur Horney
against Nixon & Zimmerman, on an
appeal from a Philadelphia court.
Horney sued for damages because on
February 9th, last, he did not get the
seats for which he held eight tickets.
Justice Brown, In his decision said:
The proprietor of a theater Is a pri-
vate individual, engaged in strictly
private business, which, though for
the entertainment of the public, Is al
ways limited to those whom he may
agree to admit TO It. There is no duty
as in the case of a common carrier
10 admit every one who may apply,
and be willing to pay for a ticket to
the theater. The proprietor has ac-
qulred no peculiar rights and privil-
eyes from the state, and therefore,
is under no implied obligation to serve
the public"

the present dispute over the army
question between the two countries is
temper arily adjusted.
The boy is Prince Maximillian, son
of the Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand,
heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne,
and Ferdinand's morganatic wife, the
beautiful Countess Chotek. Because of
a house law of the Hapsburgs, Maxi
millian can never succeed to the Aus
trian throne, but the same conditions
do not prevail in Hungary, and If the
present dispute between the Emperor
Franz Josef and the Magyars is not
ended to the satisfaction of the Hun
garians, they may throw over their al
legiance to the Hapsburgs, and rec
ognize the claims of Maximillian to
the Hungarian crown.
Maximillian's father, Franz Ferdi-

years ago. She comes Of one OF the

Franz Ferdinand declined, and at

LIFE MAY BE
PERHAPS SAVED
By Very Rare and Peculiar
Disease Which Grim
inaI Has.
ONLY FOUR CASES ARE KNOWN

Chicago, H., Oct. 17-Judge Tuley,
presiding in the criminal court branch
before which Robert Gardiner was
tried for the murder of Agnes Nor
rison, found guilty Of murder and rec
ommended for the severest punish
ment, which the law inflicts, is in a
peculiar predicament, and has called
a meeting of the bench for the purpose
Of considering the problem before him.
When Gardiner was brought before
Judge Tuley to receive his death SEN
tence, the attorney for the prisoner
created considerable sensation by
stating he would ask that sentence be
not pronounced because it would be
impossible to carry it out. He eX-
planned that his client was afflicted
with one of the rarest diseases known
to medical science, an Justification of
the yertehrae of the neck and harden
ing Of the caTtileganous tissues of the
trachea, which would artiticlaly make
il impossible to execute the man Dy
hanging. 1t would be impossible to
break his neck because the verter-
brae were grown together, and equally
impossible to stTangle him to death
because the hardening of the cartilage
would prevent the compression of the
tIachea. Professor Staffenson, of
Rush Medical College, who testified as
TO the truth of this statement, said
that GARDENERS case was one OF only
four cases of the disease on record.
In view of condition OF delinquent
it is probable that he will be sentenced
[ to imprisonment for life. 1t is be-
lieved that this case will prove a
strong argument in favor of the abOl-
itiOn of hanging and the adoption of
electrOcutiOn as the legal method of
executing criminals sentenced to death

ANTI-STATEHOOD ADVOCATES
FAILED TO ORGANIZE
IN APACHE COUNTY, ARIZONA, so
GOES A STORY FROM THAT
SECTION OF THE COUNTRY.

A good story comes from Apache
county, Arizona, which reflects the
desperation of the antijoint state
hodd leaguers of Arizona in their
fight against what seems inevitable
joint statehood, When Delegate Mark
Smith and the remainder of the Pnoe-
nix party started out to organize anti
Joint statehood leagues over Arizona,
they attempted TO confer the offices of
president and secretary, one each OF
whom was appointed In each OF the
thirteen counties, upon prominent
democrats and republicans, dividing
the appointments as near as possible
between the two party lines.
In Apache county they conferred the
responsible position of president upon
DR.. Sampson, of Winslow. The posi-
tion is a responsible one, because
Apache county is more than two-thirds
out-spoken for joint statehood, and
they attempted to convey the respon-
sibility Of secretary upon Reamer
Ling, editor of the Apache County
News and st. Johns Herald, hoping
to quell Mr.. Ling's ardor for the joint
ure measure by the honor Of the posi-
ton. Mr.. Ling naturally resigned,
and the honorable secretaryship was
then offered to the late Judge Watron
of HOlbrook. Judge WatIon refused
the job, and the Apache county anti
joint statehood league Is still looking
for a secretary.
Apache county Is one Of the un-
lucky thirteen counties OF Arizona IN
which the congressional train is not
scheduled to stop.
