STUDENTS In A FIGHT.

Three of the older students of the
West Virginia Wesleyan College, at
Buckhaunon, are in hospital as a re-
suit of an attempt to haze two new
students. The latter were escorting a
young woman Of the college home from
church after dark, and we're met on the
campus by FIVE OF the older students,
with coats turned wrong side out and
handkerchiefs over their faces as masks.
The new students asked the older
ones TO wait until they escorted the
young woman home, but they proceeded
with the attack. The two students as.
saulted drew their pocketknives and be-
gan slashiug right and left. Two OF
their assailsnls took to their heels, and
the three that remained in the encounter
we're badly slashed.

ANOTHER STRIKE ORDER.

Apparently ignoring the fact that the
operators in the New York newspaper
aud brokers' Offices are the largest con-
tributors to the local strike fund of the
telegraphers, the resolution to call out
the operators en- all leased wires in the
district controlled by Local No. 16, OF
the Commercial Telegrsphers' Union,
regardless of existing contracts, which
was brought up on Sunday and tabled
till Tuesday, was carried last night at 8
closed mass meeting of the local. The
motion calls on all the leased wire ope-
rators to quit work, subject 10 the
approval of President Small, and the
national executive committee Of the
televrsphers would be apprised by tele-
graph of the decision, and 1t was &C
decided to ask them to order out all the
leased wire men throughout the United
States. Most of the Wall street men
who have twice decided against striking
are opposed to the strike still. They
may decide to ignore the order. The
operators under contract in the news
paper offices are also sverse to breaking

LONE GIRL IN DISMAL SWAMP.
Twelve days in the Dismal Swamp,
without food or water and at the mercy
OF the wild beasts that roam that weird
but historic freak of nature, Annie
Stanley, mere slip of girl, not more
than eighteen years of age and pretty, is
now insane, unable to speak or tell how
she came to be iu such plight. Her
flesh torn and bleeding and with but
little clothing on her person, the girl
was discovered few days ago lying on
the ground in the thickest part of a
swamp by posse of men who had been
attracted by her cries. Gently they
carried her to the home Of physician of
IndiantoWn, N. O., but only her screams
rewarded the untiring efforts OF physi-
clans to restore ber reason. Some people
believe the girl was taken into the
swamp by persons who desired her
death. The case is being investigated.

THE PEACE MEETING.

An instructive contrast Is suggested between
the peace meeting IN this city and the inter
national congress which is to assemble two
months hence at The Hague The one is volun-
tary and irresponsible; the other will be official
and authoritative. The one will make appeaI
in behalf Of its cause through only moral and
intellectual agencies the other will exert con-
crete force through formal and imperative en-
actments. Yet oddly enough the one assem-
bles for its informal deliberations in this most
busy, practical and unsentimental of cities,
while the other, for its practical business. will
meet in the comparative quiet and secluslon Of
a place which might well be the resort of
dreamers.
This contrast, with its apparent paradox, is,
however, to be admired and approved since IT,
as well as the intrinsic characteristics of the
New York meeting, emphasizes the universal
lty or the desire for all possible abatement of
the horrors and burdens Of war. Here are gath
ering representatives of all nations, the great
powers and the small. the serene and the irri-
table. Here. too, are representatives Of all the
important classes Of which the nations are COM
posed-ministers and lawyers. soldiers and sail
ors merchants and statesmen, capitalists and
artisans. Nor could there, after all, be any
more fitting place than New York for their meet
ing, the place which itself contains the most
sa,ieu ana numerous representatives of all the
tribes ana nations aud interests of the world.

Use AND ABUSE OF EXPERTS.

The Thaw trial has produced fresh proofs of
the fact that the methods tolerated by law
In respect TO expert testimony do not suOserVe
the end of justice as efficiently as they might.
The treatment accorded to the expert under our
present code is seriously imperfect In two op-
poslte respects and ought to be improved in each.
In the first place experts employed by
litigants too freely in that either defendant or
complainant may summon them at will. Quite
aside from the secondary evil Of thus enabling
the Weather party to produce the larger and
more imposing cloud Of skilled witnesses, this
free employment of experts tends strongly to
reduce the value of the testimony offered. TheO-
retically an expert is always a scientist inter
ested solely in facts. If he Is to be engaged
as an expert, he ought to retain freedom of
judgment ard liberty Of speech. Such scien-
tiic Openmindedness. however, is almost lm-
possible wherever the expert depends for his
livelihood upon the good graces of contentious
individuals Scientific accuracy cannot be COM
mercialized and exploited without ceaslng to be
scientific and accurate The enormous modern
development OF special knowledge makes doubt
and controversy among specialists inevitable.
And this fact vastly aggravateS the evils Of pri-
vate expert hire. specialists finding II too easy
to lease themselves and their opinions 20 ag
grieved or aggressive citizens who may profit,
either fairly unfairly. by the techncalities
and Gbstruse doubts thus brought to the fore.
The only escape from all this may lie In the
establishment Of official commissions, composed
Of experts who would not be retained privately
by either prosecutors or defendants but would
serve when required, as judges do at present
Just what form such a commission system should
assume is question to be left to legal authorl-
ties and other specialists
The other form OF expert abuse is not so vi
ciouS legally ii is Objectionable psychologcally.
1t consists in treating experts and their testI-
mony in precisely the same way that ordinary
witnesses and their sworn statements ara dealt
with. The usual methods OF cTOss-exAminatiOn
are particularly vicious when applied TO scien-
fists. In the first place, the personal embar-
rassment of having TO confess ones self an
expert. or at least n reputed one. Is enough
TO disturb the healthy operations OF the most
highly trained mind. There is no more serious
fallacy now wOrshipped as gospel than the one
which assumes that witness is TO be discred-
lted If he can be ratified" The art Of cross
examination. so potent for good when used
fairly, plays havoc with hard earned reputa-
tOns in the hands Of attorneys who are sim
ply "Out 10 win" Scientific opinion can be rem
dered only under conditions OF scientific calm
The hagglng. sharp Interruptions. uncalled for
wit and other crude features OF criminal trials
are not such conditions. While they may put
some witnesses on their mettle. they throw the
majority into an artificial state of mind in which
all sorts OF stupidltes may be committed.

TRUTH IN THh WHlSKEY TRADE

Attorney General BOnaparte's Interpretation
OF the misbranding provisions OF the Pure Food
law, IN so far as they apply to whlskey, Will be
welcomed as an evidence Of the administrators
purpose to enforce that law with delicate regard
for both its letter and spirit. Mr. Bonaparte
unfods the implications OF the act with a de-
hcious irony which pierces the speclous logic
long used to defeat pure food legislation by the
makers and sellers Of fraudulent products and
By the theorists who contended that the correc-
ton Of such abuses as existed should be left to
the play OF enlightened commercial self-inter-
est"
The drafters OF pure food acts always found
a stumbling block when they came to provide
for the honest labelling Of whiskeys. With most
other articles Of food and drink II was COM
paratiVely easy to establish a standard and
penalize deviatlOns from il. But with whisxey
makers sellers and consumers alike recognized
no single standard, and commercial practice had
suffered the name whiskey TO attach 10 products
Of widely different origin. composition ana man
ufacture. The distillers OF straight wbiskey
(Old style) claimed exclusive recognition as
orthodox But the makers OF blends maintained
with some show Of reason that mixing one brew
with another did not destroy the status or char
aeter OF either. Going one step further the
producers Of compounds OF which whislev was
the base declared that their compositions had as
-Aue- A-eih ana were as readily accepted BY
consumers as pure whiskeys and mixed vrhis
keys. while still more progressive students Of the
process OF distlllation contended that no invid-
ious discrimination should he made against them
because they put On the market an article which
merely looked, smelled and tasted like whislzey.
The decision OF the Attorney General shows a
wisdom worthy Of Solomon. He has succeeded
