NOTES
The proposition of Prof John Bassett
Moore for the creation Of an interna-
tional executive, to enforce the decrees
of international law and the mandates
of international courts, strikes the con-
servative world as impractical and radi-
cal. Yet it is the necessary part of any
plan to substitute the rational adjudi-
cation of international differences for
the blind and medieval ordeal of war.

The jury in the Hargis- Callahan trial |
returned a verdict of not guilty after |
being out % minutes. The case was |
one of the most stubbornly contested a
Kentucky court has had for years. The |
J e. Marcum. In May 1908, Marcum |
was shot in the back and killed in the |
Jackson courthouse. CARTS Jett and |
Tom" White were convicted and given |
life terms for the murder. Jett after |
his conviction confessed that he shot |
Marcum and that his act was inspired ]
by Callahan and Judge Hargis. On uic I,
witr-~ "t--1 however. he repudiated
the confession and said he alone was
responsible The acquittal followed
largely on this Reputation.
The Pittsburg measure is filled to
overhowing with the Hartie case, yet
on trial. Various clergymen have pro-
tested against the disclosures in the
scandalum magnatum and laid the
responsibility about equally on the
parties. the legal profession and the
press. This was followed by the Court
reading the riot act to the counsel in
that case for undue energy in trying |
the case before the public through the
news columns.
The defense in the case of Harry K. |
Thaw of Pittsburg, in jail in New York |
for murder, made an unexpected move |
when a writ of prohibition was secured |
from Justice Blanchard in the supreme |
court restraining the district attorney |
and the July grand jury from taking |
further evidence under oath against the |
prisoner The order to show cause why |
the writ should not be continued was |
made returnable tomorrow. At that |
time the district attorneys Office will |
request an adjournment of the matter |
because of the absence from the city of |
the District Attorney Jerome
