MURDERERS IN FRANCE
Some Curious Phases of Law in Diff
ferent Countries.

The recent murder Of Senor Balma-
ceda. secretary to the Chilian Legation
in Brussels. by Luiz Waddington, son
OF the Chilian Minister, again directs
attention to one of the many laws that
are sadly IN need OF alteration.
1t will be remembered that Wadding
ton. after firing Ave shots at his Sis
ter's betrothed, ran at full speed TO
the Chilian Legation, which stands
close TO Senior Balmaceda's house, and
took refuge there. In consequence OF
this action the police have no power
to enter the building and arrest the
murderer, for the legation is considered
to be foreign territory and therefore
inviolable. The murderer Is thus able
for the time to snap his fingers at the
law and the police.
Even had the crime been committed
In this country our authorities would
have been just a g helpless. for. as the
law runs, the official residence of the
representatives OF foreign countries are
exempt from the jurisdiction of the
country in which they stand, and local
authorities have no right to enter them
under any circumstances.
Once a 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 within
fifteen years he may go free as the
most crlmeless citizen. Only the other
day man who had committed a mur-
der twenty-five years ago wrote def
antly to the police. confessing the crime
and giving his address In Paris In
Vestigation proved his story to be true,
yet the police were prevented by the
law from arresting and Furnishing him.

recently exposed the opportunities the
law provides to the criminally intent.

than quarter OF an hour doctor

bridegroom. Judge of their surprise
when the two men discovered that the
bride had disappeared-taking away
with her sum of $500 which NJ Binet
kept In an escritoire. On rushing Inn

he received the cold comfort that, as he
had married the lady. he could not,
according TO the law. take any proceed
lngs against her.-Pearson's Weekly.

FREAKS OF GOLF BALLS
Fell in Odd Places, Killed Birds and
on One Occasion q Sheep.

Ii does not often happen that bird
falls victim 20 a golf bali In Its flight,
although such n mishap has occurred IN
two or three instances.
Not long ago an Incident of this kind
was reported from Raynes Park Golf
club. 1t took place in the course OF a
bogey competition One Of the players,
a Mr.. Crocker, having driven off at
the eleventh tee, his ball created some
establishment by coming in contact
with lark In midair and literally
knocked off It's head,
A similar incident happened last sea-
son but one on the ground of the Birk-
dale club. Two members were playing
a round when one of them made
brassy shot. The ball was In full flight
when a bird OF the wagtail species was
seen crossing the line of flight. and the
next moment both objects came into
collision at a distance of about forty
paces from the striker.
The consequences were fatal 10 the
unfortunate bird, which was not only
killed, but decapita ted AS for the golf
ball, its fight was stopped by the i'm
pact the ball falling TO the ground
within a few yards Of its slaughtered
victim. The incident had the further
effect of losing the player the match,
he having to make an extra stroke or
two TO cover the distance short-cov-
cred, this costing him the game.
A still more extraordinary freak of
golf ball resulted In q tragedy on the
Balcomie links IN Scotland. In the
course OF match one OF the players, IN
his drive from the sixth tee, put so
much vigor into II that the ball struck
a sheep on the head with such force as
20 cause 1t 10 fall dead on the spot.
very different. bur no less interest
ing, story was reported from another
links IN Scotland about the same time.
IN a four-some match, played at North
Berwick. one os the golfers drove his
ball against wall. 1t rebounded into
some rough grass and, for a few min
uies. could not be traced, but ultimate
ly the caddie found the ball lying in a
lark's nest, in which there were four
eggs, all unbrcken. For a ball TO drop
into a nest Of eggs without breaking
any was surely an extraordinary occur
renee.
II Is not long since a player at Wok-
Ing, In approaching the hole, landed a
ball on the top of the clubhouse, This
little incident did not. however. upset
MS equilibrium very much. AS nimbly
as he could ne followed the ball to the
roof, and from that coign Of disad-
Vantage played IT so we'll that he was
successful in securing a half of hole
which everybody considered irretrlev-
ably lost.
A similar scene was once Witnessed
on the st, Andrews links In the course
cf three-ball match. One of the play
ers happened to drive his ball onto the
corrugated iron roof Of shed, and, in
the belief that he had consequently
given up the hole, the other two calm
ly proceeded with the match. But they
had reckoned without their host. for

ROCKEFELLER TRANQUIL
Oil Msgnate Is Not Worried by Attack
On Oil Trust.


CLEVELAND, July 29.-Neither
of the State authorities againts the
Standard Oil company are worrying
John D. Rockefeller in the slightest.
He is not giving them the least thought
or attention. This was the emphatic
statement today by DIR. H. F. Biggar,
physician 10 and travelling companion
Of Mr.. Rockefeller. Mr.. Biggar left
Mr. Rockefeller in New York Saturday,
after six weeks sojourn with Mr.. and
France. He reached Cleveland today.
When he left New York the immediate
plans Of the Rockefellers had not been
settled.
"Mr. Rockefeller and wife will be
at Forest Hill this week, I am certain, -
said DR.. Biggar. They may come to-
morrow, and it may be Wednesday.
''lf it has been reported that Mr..
Rockefeller is disturbed over proceed
ings against the Standard Oil company
and the bringing in of his name in
this connection, quite the contrary is
true,
''Mr, Rockefeller has been having a
few weeks recreation and rest. He
has not been thinking about Standard
Oil company affairs. And why should
he, since he has not been actively con
nected with the business of the com
pany for twelve years2'
Asked ii Mr.. Rockefeller believed
that because he had been out of the ac-
tive life Of the great corporation for
years this fact would render him i'm
mune from any possible legal attack,

.CAMELS IN THE WEST
WERE NOT A SUCCESS
Pioneer Tells of a Trial Made
Here in the Early
Days.

When the Wilson hotel orchestra
struck up "The Canpbells Are Coming
last evening, Jake Benson, an old pioneer
OF the southern part OF tho state' VINO
has lived out in the desert on and on tor
the past forty years, pricked up his ears
and told n Tribune representative OF the
experience which befell the owner or
desert frcighting OUTFIT In the carly days:
This freighter WAS a wise Yankee,
said Benson; FL think he came from
'Vairmount.' or some place up around
there. and as the scorching weather down
on the desert WAS playing smash with
his live stock he conceived tho idea OF
Importing a small herd OF camels. think
ing that they would be better adapted
to the weather conditions and prove as
capable OF transporting freight as burros
and horses.
Hump, Backs Arrive
We'll the blamed hump backed ami
mails finally arrived and were loaded DIP
with goods. Perkins-that was the name
OF the frelghter-had engaged Turk or
an Arab to larrup these ungainly beasts
across the desert. and when they started
out on their first trip you can bet they
attracted no little attention. When they
got out about ten miles the caravan ran
into bunch of cowboys mounsed on
cayuse plugs, and as the equines caught
sight OF the camels moseying up toward
them they began TO paw the enrth apd
buck and cavort around in fierce maa-
ner. Some OF the cayuses threw their
riders and disappeared as tight as they
could gallop. up over tho mountains, and
most Of the others were so blamed
scared that they just sat down and began
10 cry.
Country Is Aroused
After soaring every lizard. horned
toad and other desert residents half to
death, the camels were finally forced
through TO the end of the journey. BY
this time the whole country was aroused,
because the camels would sometimes get
beyond the control OF the foreign guy
who was steering them and try to inyes
tgate the inside of shncks occupied by
prospectors and others along tho line
OF march. The hump backs would stick
their heads In through a window and
serenely eye the terrified occupant and
then slouch along on their way. l heard
that one Of them tried TO devour a pic
ture OF Niagara Falls ono day when
water was scarce, but this may or may
not be true
LAS result OF the popular indignation
which these lopsided animals created.
Perkins was forced to turn them loose,
and they took to the hills"

Funny Stories Told About the Begin
nings of Words,

Funny Stories Told About the Begin
nings of Words,
There are some very funny stories told
about the derivations of words, since
people are likely to twist their language
into strange forms. Thus. the Pope is
even today called by the name. pom
tifex," which boys In the Latin class all
know is taken by him from tho title OF
the old Roman priests Now 'pontifeX"
means bridge builder, and 1t is true that
the Roman priests In the early days
of the republic were in charge of
bridges: but scholars tell US that the
word 'pontifcX' probably should be
"pomptifeN," meaning maker OF cere-
monies" Many of you have wondered
what the priest had TO do with bridge
building, and this little change of mt TO
mp makes the whole matter clear
An astonishing derivation is that OF
the word stranger" which we are told
comes from the Greek word ex, or out Of
Absurd as this seems. IL ls easy TO under
stand. Ex means out, from. or away
the same word as the Latin eX; hence
comes extra. Then comes the Latin
eXtraneus, which means outside. The
old French word, from this estrange,
means an outsider. but estrange gave
us the word etrnnger by dropping tho
s. and stranger by dropping the @.
After this serious example. we shall
not be surprised at the old joke that
derived the town name "Mddletown" 4"
from Moses" by dropping the "iddlc-
town" and adding "oses. st. Nicholas
