CURIOUS PHASES OF LAWS.
Treatment Of Murderers in France al
in Other Countries

Treatment Of Murderers in France and
in Other Countries.
The recent murder of Senior Bal
maceda, secretary to the Chilean le-
CATION in Brussels, by LUZ Wadding-
ton, son OF the Chilean minister, again
directs attention to one of the many
laws that are sadly in need of aler-
alton.
1t will be remembered that Wad-
dingtOn, after firing five shots at his
sisters betrothed, ran at full speed to
the Chilean legation, which stands
close to Senior Balmaceda's house, and
took refuge there. In consequence of
his action the police have no power
to enter the building and arrest the
murdered, for the legation is consid.
cred to be foreign territory and there
fore inviolable. The murderer is thus
able to snap his fingers at the law and
the police.
Even had the crime been committed
In this country the authorities would
been just as helpless. for, as the law
runs, the official residences of the rep.
resentatives of foreign countries are
exempt from the Jurisdiction of the
country in which they stand, and local
authorities have no right to enter them
unuer any circumstances.
Once murderer is captured in this
country he may be tried for his crime,
no matter how long he has escaped
the arm of justice, but in France this
is not SO. There if murderer is not
discovered and brought to trial with
in fifteen years he may go free as the
most crimeless citizen. Only the other
day a man who had committed MUIR
der twenty-five years ago wrote de-
family to the police, confessing the
crime and giving his address in Paris.
Investigation proved his story to be
true, yet the police were prevented
by the law from arresting and punish.

The man who fails to raise his hat

A stupid law in France is that a
husband can not charge his wife with

Mr.. Pray is one OF the most likable
men on the Republican ticket. He pre-
sents fine appearance, is COOL

win for him hundreds of votes in the

1t is an undisputed fact. they aver.
that the governor has been and is now
in close touch with the railroads and
has AT times done their bidding. His
record if closely analysed. will prove
conclusively that he has worked for
the interests of the railroads when
ever he has had an opportunity to do
so without exposing his hand.

All three radium emanations possess
the extraordinary power of imparting
to inactive solid objects in the neigh.
borhood a new and distinct type of
temporary activity. This impaired &C.
tivity" decays also according to regu.
lar laws, which are characteristic and
distinctive in each case for the diff
ferent elements from which they are
derived. This process has been eluci-
dated and shown to be due to change
occurring in the gaseous emanation.
Gradually and continuously it turns ill.,
to new type of radioactive matter,
non-vOlatile and so depositing itself as
film upon any solid object available.
The films are invisible, and. are only
known by their activity. Neverthe-
less, if such surface rendered active
by exposure to the emanation is scrub
bed with sand-paper, the film is re-
moved and the activity is then found
on the sand-paper. In consequence
mainly of these allied phenomena the
view was put forward in 1902 by Prof.
Rutherford and Prof. Soddy that the
Establishments were in a state of con-
tinuOus and spontaneous change, cap
able of an exact cumulative express
sion, and that the emanations and al
lied bodies were the products of these
changes.-Scientific American,

MAY TRY TO COLLECT
Thought Government Will Ask Engel
bert's Bonding Company to Make
Good his Losses.

Although Postmaster Spekenhier
has no definite knowledge upon the
matter he stated yesterday that he
thought that F. H. Hitchcock, First
Assistant Postmaster General, will
move on the bonding company for
Theodore Engelbert with the hopes of
recovering the money which has been
confiscated or pilfered from the mails
in the course of the past few years at
the local Office.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Spekenhier
that this move would be unsuccessful
because the exact amount which En-
colbert confiscated is not known. A
great deal of trouble would no doubt
arise in case Mr.. Hitchcock decided
to make this move. The matter will
probably not be known by Mr.. Spe-
kenhier as it would be settled be-
tween the Federal authorities and the
bonding company, which went En-
gelbert's security for $1,000.
