Elliott Shepard VIII Have to Serve
Half His Sentence.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
PARIS, June 3o.-The efforts Of the Amer
lean embassy to secure a remission of the
sentence passed upon Elliott Fitch Shepard
have been only partially successful The
minister of justice, NJ. Sarrien, intimates
that he cannot recommend greater reduc-
tion than six weeks of the three months
term of imprisonment imposed. Mr.. Shep-
ard, who is son of the late Col Shepard
of New York. was unfortunate enough to
run over and kill a girl in the suburbs Of
Paris with his automobile last October. He
was tried in Paris and was sentenced to
pay a fine of 600 francs. pay damages to
the amount Of 20o0 francs and suffer three
months imprisonment. He paid the fine
and the damages. but his friends and the
American ambassador have since been try
ing to save him from undergoing the i'm
prisonment.

lish the fact that 1t has been SO passed.
1t is not strange that these mistakes oc-
cur. as all of the employees of both the
Senate and House during the last few days

The machine struck the buggy broad

that the heavy car was completely

being tossed in the air, was smashed

occupants OF both vehicles were thrown
into the highway, the chauffeur COMING

The Supreme Court of the United
States by a four 10 five vote. has de-
cided that a man can be divorced
man in the state OF Connecticut and
a married man in the state Of New
York. This tends TO show that a
person may be a bastard in one state
and a legitimate offspring in anoth-
er state. The amusing part OF the
affair is that one part Of the Court
virtually attacked the other part OF
the Court
II there is a citizen in the United
States who is even surprised here

this tribunal with reference to mat
tiers affecting human rights. he

When Secretary Taft gets on the
bench. it may be that even this opin-
ion may be reversed. II has been

such a condition Of affairs may a

there is nothing 20 do but 20 pre-
pare for just such emergencies. The
time to punish the lynchers is when
they are engaged in their murderous
practices. One volley fired into
their ranks will do more TO bring
reason into their minds and enforce
respect for the Law than all OF the
threats and dissertations made after
wards. We have not noticed that
the sheriff or the jailer or any Of
their assistants fired a shot
The unfortunate victims should
certainly have been given a chance
to fight for their lives. II the mob

II the men sworn 20 uphold the law
and defend the prisoners entrusted
10 their care even at the risk Of
their own lives. are too cowardly to
do so they should certainly accord
to the intended victim an opportunity
10 defend himself This is but JUS
tice and fair play. To roast human
beings is barbarOus and cannot be
defended upon any grounds whatev-
er. The crime of burning at the
stake is as heinous as the crime OF
criminal assault. The mob is on the
same plane as the guilty parties.
To has been ascertained that the
men lynched were innocent and the
responsibility for the crime is in
creased a thousand fold. We hope
Go note some change in the situation
but the outlook is gloomy. The
state officials are active and If they
land some of the murderers in the
penitentiary, we shall consider that
long stride has been taken in the
direction Of wiping out lynch-law in
this country.

BURNING INNOCENT MEN.

The horrible lynching and roast
ing OF three colored men at Spring
field. Missouri last Saturday empha-
sizes the nature of the lawless con-
ditions now sweeping over the coun-
try and gives notice in clarion tones
Of the necessity of some stringent
power to make impossible such hap
penings. II prisoners can be taken
on short notice from the jaiIs of com
munities and hanged in the midst of
an applauding populace. 1t shows
that there is something radically
wrong in our form OF government.
Some people mistake liberty for
license and in their frenzy perpe-
trate outrages that violate every prin
ciple OF humanity. Governor Folk
and the prosecuting attorney seem
to be determined to make an exam
pie of those guilty OF the crime. IL
may be well to remark here that the
condoning Of the lynching at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. has mad much to do
with the conditions at Springfield
Missouri. The lawless element
watch with interest the final culmi-
nation OF all such happenings.
