 COMMITTED PERJURY.
Told FalsehoOds on stand to Shield His Law Partner, the Late United States Senator Mitchell--Later Gave Testi- mony Against Mitchell and the Par don Is Relieved Due to This Fact. :.

Portland, Ore, July 6.-Forner Judge A. H. Tanner, who committed perjury in order to shield his law partner, the late United States Senator John H. Mitchell was pardoned by the presi- dent June "A.
 Announcement of the presidents clemency was made to-day by Francis J. Heney, assistant attorney-general, who conducted the prosecution in the cases of Mitchell and Tanner. Sem tence had never been passed in the case of Tanner, and 1t had been expected that he would be pardoned in consider ation of the service he rendered when he later went on the witness stand and gave testimony against Mitchell. Tan ner committed perjury when he testified in relation to his partnership agreement with MT. Mitchell, swearing that writ ten agreement which provided that all money received for practice before the departments at Washington should be- long to Tanner exclusively had been in agreement four years, whereas it was only three months old and was drawn after Mitchell got into trouble.

PLAY NOT A VIOLATION
 OF THE PENAL CODE
DECISION REGARDING THE PRO- DUTION OB "MRS. WARREN'S
 PROFESSION"

Handed Down by the Justices of the
 York in the Cases of Arnold DaIy and
 Samuel Gumpertz--Nothing in the
 Words Themselves or in Amy Particu-
 lar Phrase Which Can be Said to be
 Indecent.
 New York, uly 6.-The production of George Bernard Shaw's play, Mrs. Warren's Profession," in this city dur ing the last theatrical season was not a violation of the penal code, according to decision handed down by the justices of the court of special sessions to-day. The decision was given in the case of Arnold Daily and Samuel Gumpertz who were arrested at the time the play was ordered discontinued by the police commissioner. The two defendants are acquitted by the decision announced to- day.
 The court rules that there is nothing in the words themselves or in any par ticular phrase or expression in the play which can be said to be indecent. The decision goes on:
 While the court may hold decided opinion regarding the fitness of this play as stage paroduction, when it comes to consider a question of the criminality of the acts of these defend antes in publicly producing it, 1t must make application of the principle of law laid down by the court of appeals as the test of criminality. Making such application in the case at bar, it ap- pears that instead of melting impure imagination in the mind of the specta- tor, that which is really excited is dis gust; that the unlovely, the repellant, the disgusting in the play are merely accessories to the main purpose of the drama, which Is an attack on certain social conditions relating to the em- ployment of women, which, the drama tlst believes, as do many others with him, should be reformed.
 Tried by this rule, the play does not come within the inhibition of the stat ute.'

ON 4 FIRM FOUNDATION.

Suspicious having been aroused that the site
Of this city was sinking very slowly, commit
tee of engineers was appointed to investigate
the matter. This was wise step. If any real
alteration in the level Of the city were taking
place. there would be no telling how long 1t
might continue nor where 1t would leave build
ings that are now high and dry. Though no
widespread anxiety appears to have been pro-
vOked by the misgivings referred to, owners Of
property will be glad to know that reassur-
ing report on the subject has recently been
made to the authorities. The possibility that
there may be almost imperceptible changes OF
level is conceded. but the experts who have
been studying the question declare that II any
occur at all they are not constant in rate or
direction. OF continued subsistence they find
no proof.
One of the facts which the committee had
under consideration is that the bench mark" at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard is now only A feet
above mean high water, whereas at some time
in the past it was supposed to be five feet
above that level When however, a search was
made for a record of the observations on which
that belief is based nothing Of the kind could
be found. The inference is drawn, therefore,
that the fve-fOOt standard not determined
with precision and was adopted only as a mat
ter of convenience Under the circumstances
no trustworthy conclusion can be drawn from
this discrepancy between the old figures and the
new. Again the Dock Department reports that
at Pier A. North River, the mean tide level is
apparently about half an inch lower and the
mean low tide level fully three inches lower
now than formerly. The accuracy Of these
statements is not called In question, apparently,
but the committee shows that there is more
than one way to account for the phenomena It
points out that the deepening of the channels
of the harbor and the filling in along it's shores
during the last quarter of century must have
enhanced the freedom Of the tidal flow, and
especially of the discharge of water at the ebb
These causes alone, it is believed, might we'll
have led to an even more conspicuous result
than has yet been detected. The suggestion GER
tainly affords a better explanation of the OBJ
served facts than the alternative theory, to sup
port which it seems impossible to obtain def
mite evidence
There have been it is well known, great
changes in the level of the whole Atlantic
coast in the remote past Biologists have
traced the Hudson Valley out along the bed
of the ocean nearly or quite a hundred miles
from Sandy Hook, and they estimate that there
must have been a subsistence there Of 1000
or 5000 feet According to Professor George
Frederick Wright. it ceased ten thousand years
ago. Since that time there have probably been
comparatively trifing alterations of height
some tending to submergence and some to
increased elevation. Something Of the sort Is
believed to be in progress in other parts of the
world even now, but il is gratifying to be told
that no such changes are taking place in the
vicinity of New York
