GUNS IN A NATIONAL SALUTE.
Twenty-One in This Country and Eng.
land, but Different Elsewhere.

The question as to why the nation.
al salute consisted of 81 guns was put
to one of the classes at Washington
preparing young men for the entrance
examinations for West Point and An.
napolis and strange to say, not one
of the embryotic generals or admirals
hit the nail on the head"
The coach who knows American
h! .tory away down underneath, fur.
nished the information that the ma
tional salue, which is the information
al salute-that is, the salute given to
a national flag-is fixed by army reg
ulations at q guns and that the num-
Der appears to have been in conform
ity to the custom of foreign nations
at the time VIXEN the number was so
fixed.
The first record Of national salute
is in army regulations of 1912, which
Is in comfortably to the number OF
states comprising the union, then IS,
but in 1918. new regulation was
made fixing the number at q, which
was at that date the number Of states
In the union and which was at the
same time in accordance with the
kings regulations Great BRITAIN,
which fixed 2l guns to be fired as a
salute on the anniversary days of the
birth, accession and coronation of the
king, the 18th of the queen, the res.
toration Of Charles II. and the gun
powder tres, Gl.
AT that date the national salute in
France was also fixed at Il guns, to
be fired oa.j en- Corpus Christi day
and on the kings birthday.
1t is pre- to remark, however
tn the matt raj salute Of 81 guns at
the present time appears to be pecu
liar to the United States and Great
Britain, inasmuch as the national sal
ute of France is l0l guns; of Germany
80 guns, and that the superative
salute in the United States is that on
the Fourth of July of one gun for each
state in the union and 1t is called the
salute to the union. 4ta

Of Murder

Denver.-The trial Of Benjamin c.

10Th.
In the Office of the district attorney
doubt and uncertainty prevail. The
confession secured by the police and
published with discordant blare OF
trumpets has been read and dissccted
and the result is unsatisfying.
The Wright case may never go to
trial and the noisy claims OF the police.
instead of aiding justice. have cloudcd
the trial.
Behind the iron bars OF his cell at
the West Side Court Wright passes the
weary hours gazing blankly into the
future and vainly trying 10 comprc-
hend the mysterious past.
Il must have done IT," Wright told
the police. who else could have

crushed by blow that was little less
than a catastrophe, are not buildcd

vince a jury that the unfortunate

would paint him.

charge that Wright committed the dou-
BILE murder have been advanced. run
