The Court: "It was wrong, and
gross wrong, not only toward the court,
but it is wrong against the best interests;
of our community and our country.
Any such spirit as is implied in the use
of that term ought to be the most for
eign to every true American. The judg-
ment Of the court is that you pay fine
of $1O and that you stand and be COM

A Weeks Request
Vs. of Helen Gould

Miss Helen Gould was recently re-
quested to subscribe to the permanent
installation in New York of Franz Kali
tenborn' s orchestra After encouraging
Mr.. Kaltenborn she gave him an itemized
received. The petitions, if satisfied,
would require $1OO,OOO,0OO annually,
or about T2,O0O,OOO week; they range
from a modest plea for some false teeth
at $15 a set to an imperious demand for
81 100000 to start Cuban colony.
In the week referred to, Miss Gould
received 231 requests for money out
right-of these ten left the amount to
her good will and discretion. They
weren' It particular. More than ninety
wanted cash loans Sixteen dldn'
specify any specific amount-they just
wanted to borrow.
Miss Gould was asked in that week
for SIS 900 to help form an anti-saloon
league in Idaho. She received forty
three requests for aid for churches,
twenty-seven for educational institu-
tions, and twenty-six for Libraries. More
than thirty were for help for charitable
institutions.
One man proposed to sell Miss Gould
his farm for $2,6OO which he said he
thought was a pretty good bargain-for
her. -Four persons, presumably young
women, wanted to buy trousseaus Only
one named the sum she expected. The
others left that to Miss Gould
Eleven persons wanted pianos, and
twelve wanted Miss Gould to buy thei"
inventions. One person wrote long

letter offering to give her the last chance
to buy a ring for 1,2OO, which was
worth four times that much it cent.
A girl wanted to sell her a brooch for
$500. and still another said she had a
lovely Sevrcs vase which Miss Gould,
'ben it was her, might have for $500.
A son filled with flial love wanted to
erect a monument to his father He
suggested that Miss Gould contribute
$500 to that worthy end
In the long list there was only one
request for musical instrument. Some
body wanted an organ, but another
person wanted money with which to
print 1000 hymnals. Following are
some Of the other wants: Bibles, bicy
cles farm and three cows, one in
valid s chair enough air pillows to sup
ply regiment Of soldiers, one set of
teeth, five sewing machines, and fifteen
railway tickets.
Five persons wanted Miss Gould
either to buy their manuscript or help
to sell them; one wanted assistance in
getting out an opera, and another help
for an oratorio. One person pleaded
for help that he might open photo

lery opened and paid for his road to
fortune and happiness was clear. An
other man said that if Miss Gould would
give him ii horse and peddler's cart
he would never ask for another thing
More than a hundred letters simply
asked for albany kind, money, clothes,
false teeth, organs, or anything else
handy rhirty-four were frank in ask
ing for clothes, and three wanted
watches. Seventeen only wanted to see
Miss Gould to get her advice. One
asked for house SO that he might
marry his sweetheart. Another simply
asked for the concession to sell Miss
Gould s picture for his own profit. One
wanted tip on railroad stock. Seven
simply wrote that they had named their
children after Miss Gould, evidently GO
ing on the assumption that word to
the wise wculd be enough.
AS to The other wants, there We're

Mr.. SlOman: Does that remark go
in?''
The Court: 'What was that?'
Witness: 81 said wrong. 1 sail
sheeny money"
The Court: 81 should say not I
did not understand the word at all. That
is a gross impropriety.'
Witness: 81 beg the pardon of the
Court
The Court: "Wait. You have had
your say | will have mine now about
that. l did not understand until you
used that term again. Do you mean to
cast some reflection on the parties or
counsel because of their race or reli-
gion?''
Witness: 81 didn IT,
The Court: "Then take that back
and apologize for it.
Witness: 81 beg pardon"
The Court: 'That is a gross inpro-
priety and a great wrong to show dis
respect to any of your fellow citizens
no matter what their race or creed is. y
Mr.. Sloman then proceeded with his
cross examination.
At the conclusion of the testimony OF
Mr.. Raymond, the following occurred:
The Court: 'The language which
you used during he progress Of your
testimony and which, under the order
of the court, you were required to with
draw and tender an apology for-that
may, perhaps, be regarded as a suffi-
cient reparation to any party, either
litigant or counsel, that may be in this
case. That, however, does not seem to
me, fully meets the situation with which
your statement confronts the court. The
term which you employed is notoriously
used as one of contempt and disrespect
toward large and most estimable body
of our citizens Language of that kind
used in court Of justice, is something
more than personal affront to any in
dividual. 1t seems to me that it has a
tendency 10 show contempt for the
court. Language which, used in a
court Of justice, will tend to bring any
body Of our citizens into contempt
bring disrespect upon them because of
their race or religion, is so manifestly
contemptuous Of the attitude which
witness ought to have before the court
that it is something more than an at.
front, as I said, to any individual. 1t IS
contemptuous of that orderly, fair and
impartial administration of the law

ties Of 4 court to secure and maintain,
I am forced, as [ view my duty here, to
hold that your employment of that Ian
plla0e amounted to a contempt OF

BRITISH DEAD LETTERS

A comparison OF the postal records OF
the United States with those Of Great
Britain develops the interesting fact
tiat while more letters go astray in
this country than in that, the amount
OF money found in the deal letters in
Great Britain largely exceeds the
amount found in dead letters in the
United States for like period
The report Of the Postmaster General
OF Great Britain. recently made public,
