NEW YORK JUDGE SAYS
ENGLAND'S WAY Is BETTER
DISCUSSES DIFFERENCES IN
CRIMINAL TRIALS
Difficulty in Securing Jury One Of the
Greatest Troubles in American
Courts, Says Justice
Davis

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July ga London dis
patch to the Times quite lengthily quotes
Justice Vernon M. Davis of the New
York supreme court upon the difference
between American and English criminal
trials to the disparagement of the
former.
Justice Davis presided at the second
trial of Nan Patterson, the chorus girl,
for the murder of Caesar Young, the
turfman
His remarks followed his witnessing
in the central criminal court, London,
the trial of John Smith and Chicago
May Churchill for the attempted muir
der of Edward Guerin of Devils Island
fame
Justice Davis sat on the bench with
Justice Darling and saw Smith sem
fenced to life Imprisonment and the
Churchill woman to fifteen years i'm
prisonment in a trial of scarcely six
hours.
Justice Davis was asked if he thought
such a speedy trial would be possible
in America To this question Justice
Davis replied:
Not under the present circumstances.
'Thare are two principal considerations
which initiate against such CELEBRITY.
1.-THE first of these is in connection
with the selection of the jury.
Everyone in America reads the news
papers-not one, but many.
when a sensational case arises the
papers deal with the whole matter in
the minutest detail long before the case
is called.
Hard to Get Jury
"The result is that it is almost i'm
possible to get together twelve men who
have not studied the case and reached
judgment uniting them for service
as jurors.
How different here in England. To-
days case had all the elements of a
sensation, yet the jury was selected in
exactly two minutes.
'In my opinion, the only way to meet
the jury problem in the United States
is to permit the presiding magistrate to
select the jury with, of course, the adj
vice of the counsel in the case.
Undoubtedly however, the chief fac
tor in expediting trials here is the abb
sence of appeals. This does away with
the constant Interruptions arising out OF
objections by opposing counsel.
The chief purpose of the objections
is, of course, to obtain material for a
successful appeal. AS there is no ap-
pellate division here there are practi.
cally no objections and the trial pro,
ceeds rapidly and smoothly"

COURTS SAY MAN MAY
HAVE HIS OWN FACE
Thomas A. Edison Wins Suit Against
Firm Using His Features to
Advertise Its Patent
Medicine
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 26.-That mans
picture, as well as his name, is his own,
and cannot be used without his consent
has been laid down as a point in equity
law by Vice Chancellor Stevens of New
Jersey at Newark.
The picture in dispute is that of Thomas
A. Edison, the inventor.
A firm making a neuralgia cure was
the defendant. Mr.. Edison applied fol
an injunction restraining the concern
from using with its product picture OF
him, accompanied by a fac smile of a
recommendation of the article, purport-
ing to have been written by him.
The vice chancellor granted the in
| junction.
| Mr.. Edison contended that he never au-
thorized the use of his picture, never
wrote or authorized any recommendation
and objected to the use of both.

DENIES HE
WAS CRUEL
CAPTAIN HANSEN EXPLAINS
CRITICISED ACTIONS
SAYS LOAD SHIFTED AND MORE
WEIGHT WAS UNSAFE
Investigation Of Sinking of Steamer
Columbia esumed-officers and
Members of Both Crews
Examined
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 26.-The inves-
tigation of the sinking of the steamer
Columbia off the coast of Mendocino
county by colliding with the steam
schooner San Pedro and whereby, accord
ing to the latest revised figures, eighty
one lives were lost, was resumed today by
Capt. Birmingham, United states super
vising inspector.
Offlcers and members of the crew OF
both vessels were examined and the de-
positions of Capt. Hansen and his first
officer read.
The testimony brought out the state
ment from Capt. Birmingham that 1T was
the first time he had ever known that
life preservers had actually been effective
in saving life, qualifying it by adding
that people were usually too frightened
to don them correctly.
Capt. Hansen, in his report denied that
he had been unnecessarily cruel in refus'
ing to take more survivors on board after
he had rescued seventy five, giving as
reason for his action that his own vessel
was in such a condition that 1t was dan
gefous to approach her, and he therefore
ordered the other boats to keep off.
Vessel Undermined
Chief Engineer Arthur V. William tes-
titled that the San Pedro did not lower all
her boats because the vessel was under-
manned.
The alleged action of Third officer
Uawse of the Columbia refusing to give
his coat to a woman was brought out in
the testimony of Quartermaster Curran.
The latter testified that there were UNI
clothed women in the boat, and when
Halves was asked to give his coat to one
of them he had refused, saying that the
coat belonged to him.
The women, said Curran, had been ex-
posed for an hour before Hawse covered
them up with piece of sail
Hawse interrupted the proceedings by
interposing an indignant denial. and for
few moments counter denials flew back
and forth between the two officers.
Hawse was placed on the stand and
testified that he had offered his coat to
Miss Maybelle Watson, the plucky Berke-
ley girl, who refused it and asked him
to give it to another woman more desti-
tute than herself.

FRENCH CHAMPAGNE MAY BE
BOTTLED IN UNITED STATES
Difference in Traffic May Force Wine
Growers to Take This Meas
ure as Means of Self
Preservation
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONDON, July 26.--J. Martin Miller,
American consul at Rheims, passed
through London this week on the way to
Scotland, where he is visiting old friends
He said the preferential tariff in favor of
exports from Germany into the United
States has led to an interesting state of
affairs in the champagne trade
Champagne is now being shipped in
casks from Rheims to Germany, where it
is bottled and sent to the United States,
receiving a preference of % per cent in
duty as compared with wine shipped from
France to the United States.
This is not only hurting the wine dis
tricts of France by giving Germany the
benefit of the labor required in bottling
and shipping, bHt in the opinion of lead
ing French producers it gives such extern
sive opportunities for adulteration and
fraud as to lower the standard of French
champagne, which the French govern
ment so vigorously endeavors to main
tain.
In instancing the care taken in the
preparation of champagne, Mr.. Miller said
that employees are forced to be clearly
both in their appearance and habits.
Prizes for Neatness
Prizes are awarded to the neatest men
employed, and the presentation of such
rewards is made publicly with great cere-
mony.
A man who is caught expectorating or
smoking in the vicinity of the wine presses
is instantly discharged.
In addition to the care taken in picking
the grapes, the general preparation of
French champagne is so careful that its
reputation is world wide
The Rheims manufacturers are fearful
that the system which prevails in Ger
man bottling establishments is less Sc
we're and that therefore there is an oppor-
tunity for deterioration in the quality of
the bottled product
While wines bottled and sold in Ger
many are forced to bear a label stating
the place of their ,bottling, this law does
not apply to German products shipped to
the United States.
The big firms at Rheims are also study
ing the difference in the American tariff
on wine in bulk and wine in bottle, which
it is said is an incentive to have cham
payne bottled in the United States.
Champagne shipped in casks pays a
duty of 40 cents gallon, while bottled
champagne is taxed &C cents a quart.
Several big firms are seriously contem-
plating establishing places in the United
States, saying they are forced in self
defense to do so.
