AT LEAST FOUR KILLED
MANY OTHERS lNJURED-DlsTRI.
BUTTON OF FREE TICKETS BY
PATENT MEDICINE CON.
Germ GATHERED
THEM.

Ind annapolis, April 17.-Frenzied by
false alarm of fire, several hundred
eager newsboys, struggling to obtain
their share of free tickets to a local
theater. which were being distributed
by a travelling representative Of pat
ent medicine company stampeded in
narrow stairway In Masonic temple
tonight, crushing The life out of four
boys, and II Is believed, fatally injur-
ing several others. About thirty boys
were injured.
Among the dead are:
ED MORRISSY, aged II.
LOUIS SCHErGERT, aged Is.
CARL LAUREL, aged 10.
HOMER WILLIAMSON. aged II.
How II Occurred.
Long before the time appo nted for
distribution of the tickets the stairs
of Masonic temple we're crowded with
pushing. yelling crowd of newsboys
When the distribution began, the ex-
citement became more intense and the
efforts of several policemen who had
been detailed 10 prevent trouble, were
unavailing. 1t is alleged by witness
that one of the boys In endeavoring to
hasten the exit of those who mad re-
ceived their passes, shouted: Fire"
Immediately those at the top faced
about and with almost snperhuman
strength began to force their way TO
the bottom of the stairs. Shrieks and
physical encounters followed for few
seconds when from some cause, those
near the top fell headlong upon the
struggl ne mass al the bottom.
Four Lives Crushed.
" Immediately policemen from the
central station who responded to riot
call began the work Of rescue. Four
boys were dead when extricated from
their position at the bottom of the
stairs. Others believed to have been
fatally crushed were taken out as fast
as they could be disentangled from
their frenzied companions who fought
and clung to each other in desperation.
Rush OF Parents to Scene.
Mothers. fathers and relatives Of the
boys nocked to the place and frantic
with grief, forced their way into the
dense crowd.
with the aid of at least fifty police,
doctors. lodge members and other res
cuers. it required fully three quarters
of an hour TO remove the lads to con-
veyances which carried them home
or to the hospitals. Relatives who
did not reach the hall before the boys
were taken away, swarmed to the diff
ferene hospitals and dispensaries, and
men had to be stationed at these insti-
tutions 10 keep the crowd from break
ing into the rooms where the lads were
being cared for.
A Grewsome Spectacle.
After the injured had been taken
from the scene, and the crowd had left
the sidewalk, the sight presented by
the stairway and walk in front Of the
door and in the upper hall way was
grewsome in the extreme. Blood
trickled down the steps and fragments
of clothing and flesh were strewn here
and there
The catastrophe evidently had lit
le effect on about. four hundred of
the "newsies" who. instead of return
ing home to relieve the minds OF anX-
lous parents, went 10 the theatre.

SOME COMMENT ON THE
LAND-FRAUD CASES

Eagle, and the Mills of Justice.
written for The ournal.)

Interesting for the defendants and
entertaining for the public as the land
fraud cases have been, they have now
reached the point where it becomes ex.
citing.
The momentous question is, will the
defendants permit their innocence TO
be established by mere legal techni.
calityf As long as it is possible for
the innocence of the defendants to be
established by trial, victory found.

law and its practice, yet the law hard.
ly dare boast of justice and potency
when its straightlacing prohibits rea.
sonable latitude to further the end for
which it was designed. If Roosevelt's s
captain, F j. Heney, has failed unin.
tentionally to consider all the minute
technicalities, it must be remembered
in view of the magnitude of the cases,
that he is only human and his failure
has in no way added any laurels to
the brows which have ignored the law
as laid down to Adam.
There are two kinds of right in this
world, moral and legal While the
moral character of right frequently
enters into legal right, yet the legal
does not consider the moral establish.
ment necessary. The law works from
the idea that wrong springs from some
right enjoyed. That, unless there first
be right to the thing enjoyed, there
can be no wrong following, since
right. Therefore, we find the law
system of practices based upon con.
tinuous string of legal maneuvers, each
directly emanating from its preceding
one. Every legal wrong is said to
have remedy, and the remedy fol
lows the wrong. Hence, if there be
found cog missing, or link missing,
the whole structure falls to the ground.
When this happens the guilt of a de.
fendant has not been proven, there.
fore, according TO law again, the de.
fendant must be innocent; since every
man is presumed to be innocent until
proven guilty, and if any doubt exists
the defendant must be given it's bene
At. Thus it is easy to see how the law
plays its part in the affairs of men
without really touching the root of
the trouble. While the majesty of the
law is not to be questioned, yet, by
reason of its nature, it does not fur.
nish mankind with wholly adequate |
remedy, since it is so easily crippled |
as to make its channel uncertain of |
desired results. AS il would be ex |
tremely dangerous to permit any de-
parture for special occasions, or allow |
loop-holes to enter its processes, we
must abide by its practices although |
we are all perfectly cognizant of the
fact that slight immaterial defect
has made escape possible by preventing
the issues being properly introduced.
