Intentions

There is no French law against sui
eide, but those who have attempted
recently to drown themselves in the
Seine and have failed have been arrested
and punished on the authority of an old
law which forbids throwing bodies into
the river. One such arrest was made
recently. The prisoner pleaded not
guilty.
But" said the judge of instruction,
''you admit that you cast yourself into
the river. That is illegal"
THE law" said the prisoner, pro
vides for the punishment of those who
cast dead, not living, bodies into the
river, else every man who went swim
ming in the Seine would be criminal"
But" said the judge, you intended
to be dead. You had wickedly planned
to make of yourself an offensive corpse
and with that most loathsome thing to
corrupt the waters of the Seine. L fine
you thousand francs"
VERY WELL" remarked the prisoner.
Take it from the sum which was con-
fiscated from my pockets by the police
at the time of my arrest"
There was no money in your pock-
ets." said the judge.
TRUE" said the prisoner but l had
intended that on that date there should
be million francs there."-Judge.

WILLIAM WINTER
REPEATS LECTURE
AGAIN SCORES PLAYS OF
"GHOSTS" TYPE
Venerable Critic Speaks on "The
Theater and the Public"-Says
There Are Few Great
Actors Now

William Winter, the venerable dra-
matte critic of New York and an author
and poet of note in the country, last
evening delivered an address on The
Theater and the Public" at New Sym
phony hall, Blanchard building. The
lecture was given last week before the
members of the Friday Morning club
and has been delivered in many cities
throughout the country so that the
views expressed in it have been freely
quoted and generally understood.
Mr.. Winter has long been one of the
bitterest enemies the theatrical syndi-
cate has had and he is unsparing in his
denunciation of their methods. The
critic has also taken up the cudgel
against the plays of Henrik Ibsen, G. B.
Shaw and others of their kind who
have presented plays based upon the
relation of the sexes.
He also scored the public for indulg-
ing in the taste for such drama and
presented as an instance the crowds
who recently went in Los Angeles to
witness production of Ghosts" He
disapproved most violently of the news
papers in general which he said did not
tell the truth for fear of the withdrawal
of advertising.
Mr.. Winter presented an interesting
history of the famous players of the
past and gave brief descriptions of
many of the more prominent. Among
the actors of today there are only a
few who in his opinion are worthy of
mention.
He seized this occasion to pay a very
affecting tribute to his old friend, Sir
Henry Irving. His words brought tears
to the eyes of many and the speaker
himself was visibly moved. A round of
applause showed the sympathy of the
audience.
Mr.. Winter presented a striking pic
ture on the platform. His spiritual face
with the white hair and mustache and
his black evening dress were framed
by the small stage and lent dramatic
intensity to his address.

Are Americans Unpopular Abroad

According to Sydney Brooks, who
writes About Paris in the current
Harper's Weekly, the travelling Ameri-
can makes today about the same kind
of impression upon foreigners that he
used to. If Mr.. Brooks observations
are correct, our fellow country people
succeed in making themselves particu-
larly obnoxious to Europeans. An
Englishman stopping in Paris is quoted
as saying that he makes 1t rule never
to put up at a hotel frequented by
Americans, and the problem of their
presence abroad is believed by Mr..
Brooks to be becoming very serious. 1t
is said to be an axiom with a European
that whenevr you find Americans
flocking to a particular hotel you may
also be sure of finding there bad service
and an atmosphere of provincialism
and incivility. Mr.. Brooks feels bound
to say that "the loud-voiced and loud
checked Englishman of tradition is be-
coming rapidly supplanted by the romp-
ing American girl and the cigar chew
ing American man of fact. 1t is of no
use assuring Parisians that they come.
they must come, from Oshkosh. Paris
has never heard of Oshkosh"

WOULD HAVE EATEN THEM

At political meeting during the re-
cent presidential election a young
speaker, discoursing upon the Civil
War, patriotism and everything in gem
eral but politics, told the following
story:
zone day, my friends" he began, "as
the Union prisoners in Libby prison sat
around the question arose whether
they believed. despite their sufferings,
the war should go on or not. To de-
eide it they took a vote. Each man was
given two. beans, a black one and a
white one, the white bean to represent
the affirmative and the black one the
negative, A hat was procured and the
balloting began. And would you be-
lieve it, ladies and gentlemen" dra-
matically shouted the young speaker,
throwing his arms wildly in the air,
when that ballot was counted not a
black bean was found in the hat!"
After the applause had subsided an
old Grand Army man arose and turn
ing to the speaker, said; MY friend,
that was pretty good story you just
told. OF course. you were too young
TO be there, but 1 was. and want to
tell you," here the old soldier straight
ened up, that if we had those beans
there that you speak of we wouldn't
have wasted any time voting, but
would have eaten every darn one Of
them as soon as we could get them
into our hands"

Tells of Frontier Lawyer

But of all things most to be desired
in a court room decorum is first of all.
The court room presided over by a
dutiful, upright judge, such as all Los
Angeles judges are, should be the very
temple of justice and should be treat
ed accordingly"
Hon. Thomas Fitch, the pioneer at'
torney of the frontier and the most
beloved man of the west, was then in
troduced.
Judge Fitch's address was on "The
Frontier Lawyer" and it teemed with
the scores of funny things which have
happened in the courts of the border.
1.-THE frontier attorney is rapidly
passing away" said Mr.. Fitch. He is
the greatest attorney of the country,
but he is going with all the other
marks of advancing civilization.
ITO begin with, however, all attor-
neys are honest. There are In the
east attorneys of all sorts-civil, real
estate, corporation, patent and GRIM
inal. By the last I do not mean that
the attorney is a criminal, but SIM
ply wish to explain that he acts for
persons who have litigation with the
state regarding differences in opinion
which they hold which are contrary
to the belief regarding property and
lease of life held by a majority of his
fellow beings.
1.-The frontier attorney may have as
pirations for a room in a big city Of
nee building. He may have a room
and a telephone anG q typewriter, but
his heart will go back to his frontier
home and back he will go to his Coun-
tTy courts and country laws"

MEMBERS OF BAR

LAWYERS TELL STORIES OF
FORMER DAYS
Justice Van Dyke Gives Interesting
History of Making of CALIFORNIA;
Consttutlon-Mr. FinIayson
Has Fun With Judges

Two hundred disciples of Blackstone
gathered around the banquet board Oh
the Bristol cafe last night in celebra-
ton of the tenth semi-annual meeting
of the Los Angeles Bar association.
The occasion was one of great mo-
ment for Los Angeles attorneys, be-
cause of the fact that all the justices oil
the supreme and appellate courts were
guests of honor and a greater number
of the bar turned out at the gathering
than ever before.
The program of the evening was
opened with an address by Hon. James
H. Gibson, president of the association.
He gave short address, telling OF the
history of the association, and then IN
troduced Hon. Walter Van Dyke, SUI
preme justice.
Justice Van Dyke took for his sub
Ject "The Making of the Constltu-
ton" He read a carefully prepared
paper giving in detail the history or
that memorable convention when the
state constitutions, which changed CALI
fornia from a frontier wilderness to
one of the foremost states in the Union,
was read and accepted.
1.-THE Attitude of the Bench to the
Bar" was the subject treated by Hon.
Frank G. Finlayson.
"I have been selected" said Mr.. Fin
layson. ito act as a David of old and
swat the modern Goliath ogres of the
bench squarely in the forehead.
1T have had many experiences In
which / thought that the decisions of
the bench were unjust, but in nearly
every one I have found that there was
concealed a lesson for my own good.
Tells of Wasted oratory
IT will speak particularly of the
actions of judges of the supreme bench.
I suppose all attorneys present nave
learned that there is no use attempting
to argue a case before a supreme court
but for the satisfaction of the client
this is often necessary
"a client will come into your ott1ce
like a f1ustared hen with but one chick
and desire that the case be argued with
a burst of oratory before the supreme
court. You know this will do no good,
but the client is paying the money, so
you have to argue.
You 90 to the supreme court and
start the argument. The study of hu-
man character as portrayed by the un-
fortunate justices who are compelled to
listen to that argument is enlighten-
ing.
"Some justices 1 have known will
sit like a statue of patience, looking
upon the portrayal of grief and retain
that expression throughout the argu-
ment. Others will sit back in their
chairs and close their eyes. This is
very gratifying to the attorney. as he
may believe that the justice has closed
his eyes i'll order that he may better
concentrate his mind, when in reality
he may be taking a little private
snooze.
There is at present a member Of
the supreme bench who has a most
ungratifying style of hearing an ar
gument. Throughout the burst of elo-
querce he will look squarely at the
speaker as though he were wrapped
in his every word, and before the at
torney has uttered the last word the
justice will call the next case in the
same tone of voice as a barber would
shout next
