AN IDEAL COURT PRAYER.
Commended by Judge for BrevIty and
Common Sense.

Prior to the commencement of q
term of court at Manchester. N. H..
several years ago, Judge Doe, In his
usual brisk way, requested the sheriff
TO invite some clergymen to make the
customary opening prayer, provided
one could be found who would be
brief.
The sheriff, in his quest to fill the
bill, met the Rev. Mr.. Buckley, min
lister who had charge of one of the
city churches. The sheriff told him
what was wanted, that the prayer mist
be short, and suggested TINT the
quicker he could earn the SO fee al
lowed the more satisfactory would be
his efforts.
While demurring to the mercenary
and commercial spirit Of the invita-
ton, Mr.. Buckley concluded to accept,
and Immediately repaired to the court
house. A brief introduction to the
Judge, call Of silence by the sheriff,
and the minister's dignified form
arose. With closed eyes and solemn
visage he slowly and impressively de-
livered the following brief prayer:
"Oh, Lord! bless this court and
bless these lawyers; make them feel
that life is short and time is precious
not to be wasted in empty declama
ton, for Christs sake, amen"
Judge Doe afterward said this
should be adopted as model prayer
for such an occasion.

Still in the Stone Age.

The Eskimos of Arctic Alaska are
still in the stone age, says the Metro
politan Magazine. The manufacture
of arrows and spearheads from flint is
a living industry. Stone lamps, stone
hammers and chisels and to some ex-
tent knives, are still in ordinary use
among them. Fish lines and nets and
bird snares are still made of whale
bone, sinew or rawhide. Arrows,
spears, nets and traps are used In
hunting, although improved breech-
loading arms are being introduced
among them, and will soon supersede,
for the larger game, their own more
primitive weapons.

Life in an English Village.

This indictment of the English VII
lage as it exists to-day appeared in a
prominent London newspaper: "The
English village is remarkable for it's
imperfect drainage, contaminated
wells and bad lighting, the impractical
teaching of it's children, the vice con-
nected with its public houses and the
more or less entire absence Of cottage,
hospital, reading rooms, clubs, bath or
washhouse, flower show, telephone,
oftentimes it's telegraph, and all that
makes life enjoyable and healthy"

Secret Investigation by
the Government.
HALE WOULDN'T REPLY
It Was This and His Presentment by
the Grand Jury in Consequence
That Gave the Public Hint
of What Was Going
Forward.
(By Associated Press.l

New York, May Sit became
known today that the Federal Grand
Jury has for some time past been
conducting a secret investigation into
certain matters concerning the Amer
lean Tobacco Company and it's sub
sidiary companies. The investigation
is being made by Henry w. Taft,
brother of tn Secretary of War, who
has been appointed special assistant
United States Attorney for that pur-
pose. He has as assistant, Felix ii.
Levy, who also was appointed recent
ly as a special United States attorney
general. Mr.. Taft is authority for the
statement that the investigation is
being made under the provisions of
the antitrust law.
The proceedings in the grand jury
room were secret but it became
known that Edward f. Hale, secre-
tary of the McAndrews & Forbes
Company, one of the subsidiary COM
panies refused to answer questions
when he was called, taking the ground
that to do so would tend to incrimi-
nate and degrade him, and that the
answers would be too voluminous.
When the grand jury filed a present
uIcHI DtIOIG JuuSe LciCOIllbc III lliC
United States Circuit Court, however,
Hale was directed to reply to the
questions.
1t was through Hale's refusal to
answer the questions that the fact
that the investigation was in prog
ress became public. The motion cal
endar i'm Judge Lacombe's court had
been completed today when the grand
jury filed into the courtroom. They
were accompanied by Mr.. Taft and
Mr. Levy, and with them also were
Lawyers John ID, Lindsey and De-
lancey Nicoll, counsel for Hale. Hale
was brought in a moment later by
United States Marshal Henkel. He
was not under arrest, however. The
foreman of the grand jury then hand
ed the presentment to Judge La
combe. 1t contained a list of the
questions which Mr.. Taft informed
the court Hale had refused to answer
after appearing in obedience to a sub
poena.
The witness was instructed to an
swer the questions, and the grand
jury and witnesses returned to the
jury room.

TO MEET NEBoGAToFF.
Roiestvensky Goes South-Japanese
Destroyers in His Wake.
lRv the Associated Press.l

st. Petersburg, May 5.-1.55 p. m.
Admiral Rojestvensky according 10
high naval authority has sailed
south to meet the division of the Rus
sian Second Pacific Squadron COM
manded by Admiral Nebogatoff. The
Admiralty has information that a
Japanese division of fast cruisers and
torpedo boat destroyers was sent south
for the purpose if possible of Gripping
or destroying Nebogatoff's ships be-
fore they could effect a junction with
these of Rojestvensky and there is rea-
son to believe that the Japanese took
up a position. in the Straits of Sunda
through which Nebogatoff originally
intended to make the passage into the
North Sea There is also reason to be-
lieve that Nebogatof first approached
the Straits of Sunda but finding them
too we'll guarded put about and headed
north for the Straits of Malacca, his
division lacking the protection or fast
cruisers and being at a great dlsad-
vantage in meeting torpedo boat at
taks.
The Admiralty expresses much graf
ification at the fact that Admiral Ne
botagotf has successfully reached
the China Sea, but appreciates
that the composition of his division
renders it particularly vulnerable to
a swift adversary especially as the
crews of his ships have not had the
training in manoeuVering or the tar
get practice which Admiral RoJest-
Venskys crews had while off the island
Of Madagascar and the anxiety here
will only be completely relieved when
it is known that a junction has been
effected.

Wife Are Squashed.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York May 5.-Nan Patterson s
condition was much improved today.
Her recovery from the almost COM
plete breakdown which followed the
failure of the jury i'm her case to agree
early yesterday morning, began yes
terday afternoon and has progressed
steadily. There was a big bundle of
letters for the prisoner today and with
them a number of picture postal cards.
One of these bore a message urging
Miss Patterson to keeu up her courage
and to be game to the last"
Miss Patterson's condition was so
much improved this afternoon that
she went to the counsel room in the
TOmbs prison and had a lively talk
with her counsel and Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Morgan Smith. She will probably be
released in bail Monday. Judge Fos-
ter in the court of general sessions to-
Gay quashed the indictments against
j. Morgan Smith and his wife, Julia
Patterson Smith. He gives the dis
trict attorney permission to re-sub-
nit the case to the grand jury.
At the request of Mrs. Smith the
lawyers interested in the case of the
Smiths made no effort to secure their
release today. Mrs.Smith was infrom-
ed that if she were cleared she might
be taken into custody as a witness
against her husband an sent to the
House of Detention. She decided to
remain in the Tombs with her sister.

BRITT is CHAMPION
Decision Over White of
England in Twentieth
Round.
An the Asosciated Press.)

San Francisco, Cal, May 5.-James
e. Britt, of California, became cham
pion lightweight of the world tonight
when he got the decision over Jabez
White, of England, at the close of a
twenty round fight With just twenty
seconds to go Britt hooked the Eng
lishman with a left on the jaw and the
latter went to the mat where he lay
fiat on his back for eight seconds. He
staggered TO his feet but was power
less to defend himself and Britt swung
right and left ON his jaw
The referee to save the plucky Eng
lishman from needless punishment,
stopped the contest, although White
was on his feet leaning up against the
ropes in q hopeless condition. White
was carried to his corner and in few
minutes revived sufficiently to make a
little speech in which he said
Il fought the best / knew how, L
received fair play, but Britt is evil
IDENTIFY the better man.
At 1922 p. m. every seat in the pa
Wilton was taken. White was the first
to be presented. For stranger,
Whites reception was fiattering. Britt
was cordially greeted Then the
crowd called for Nelson. When this
individual appeared and announced
that he would meet the winner with
side bet to be made of $40, 900 cash,
the great crowd cheered Nelson for
fully three minutes. Britt and White
both announced their willingness to
accept the offer in the event of being
returned a winner. Britt and White
smiled continually and each looked
confident. Their appearance showed
that each had trained to the minute.
The contest was scheduled for TWEEN
ty rounds straight Marquis of Quens-
berry rules, the men TO protect them
selves in the breakaways.
Last Three Rounds.
The last three rounds of the fight
were as follows:
Round 18.-Wright swung left and
right to the jaw and an instant later
planted a vicious left hook to the body.
Britt got careless and White shot
right hard to the face by way of a di
version. White was still on the de-
fensive
Round 19.-Britt kept forcing the
pace and missed left and rights for the
body. White kept Britt busy leading,
blocking most of the California's at
tempts.
Round 2O-Britt Immediately sailed
in. The pace was quickened, but the
blows We're easily blocked. Both men
fought at close quarters with White
mostly on the defensive. Britt was
careful. realizing that apparently the
decision was his
Britt put a right to the body and
brought his right and left with fear
full force to Whites jaw, sending
White to the floor very groggy. When
the Britisher rose Britt went at him
like a demon and sent him clear across
the ring with right and left smashes
to the face The round was nearly
over at this stage but the police
jumped into the ring and stopped the
contest. Britt was declared the win
ner amidst tremendous excitement.

CITY ATTORNEYSH|P
Mysterious Caucus
Which Refuses to
Leak.

Interest in the first regular meeting
of the Board of Aldermen last night
conferred chiefly in the caucus which
followed the meeting and the cher
business of which was the selection OF
a CITY attorney and the board of audit
and finance provided for by the new
city charter.
The caucus, however, was rare
peach of it's kind, i'm that it was ar
and water tight There was not the
ghost of a leak as to what actually oc-
Cured Several aldermen who were
seen after the caucus adjourned at a
late hour stated that they considered
themselves bound to secrecy, ana
newspaper men did some tall hustllng
for awhile to no purpose. SeVeral OF
the observation-disclosures. jackson, liar
den. and others, stated that 1t was
their understanding that 1t was ieIt
with the mayor to give out any lntof-
nation, but when Mayor Johnson was
seen, he declared that he, too, consid-
cred himself bound to secrecy.
Although Mayor Johnson sits in the
caucus he does not vote, although in
case of a tie in an election, his would
of course be the deciding voice.
What is the cause of this palpitating
mystery is chiefly conjecture, unless it
board is evenly divided in the matter
of city attorney between Messrs Wat
son and Snow 1t may be stated with
certainty that the caucus did not fin
ish it's work and will have to meet
again, probably announcing the result
of it's deliberations on Monday night.
1t was also stated last night that the
first vote for city attorney stood for
Watson, for Snow and one for
Simms Whether or not this be true
and whether the vote remained in that
state is conjectural, but it is probably
the attorneyship which is troubling
the board.
In the meantime, since Mayor John
son will not, the aldermen consider
that they cannot give out even such
news as they do possess.
AS a source of caucus information,
the new board is veritably tight

be factions, and there We're in both
this country and England. This
change back to parties was the sal
Walton of America. Parties strive for
the practical and follow after ideal.
Factions do by force what parties do
by elections, and where there are not
elections there are revolutions. If
the parties were abolished there would
be different issues in the north, south,
east and west, and the choice in this
event of all the people would be inn
possible. Not even a senator could
be elected by all the people. Parties
cause both unity among the people
and harmony in the government.
Party system insures safe legislation,
and they do not put forth men who
represent the classes, but men who
represent the voters. The people are
impulsive and are only held in re-
straint by the political parties. IL
there were no party system, people
would become more corrupt and their
votes would be for the highest bidder
and there are fewer corrupted men in
the party system than without it.
Corrupt men cannot control parties,
but they can control factions.

exports will be resumed on large
scale. Hence, in that event, the in
1uence will be bearish, and American
prices will no doubt fall back. Yet,
