Welcoming the Gri,n Reaper With
Greeting In Verse.
There have been numerous instances
of poetical deaths The Emperor Adrl-
an made Il poetical address to his own
soul as death was casting the seal of
final silence over his lips, and Marga-
ret of Austria while almost within the
grasp of death in Il terrific storm at
sea calmly sat down and composed her
epitaph in verse. The ship wenthcreI
the gale. however. and the cqitaph was
not needed.
Philip StroZZi when imprisoned and
awaiting death en- the gailOws resolved
to commit suicide. Before he killed
himself he carved with the sword upon
which few minutes later he impalGl
himself the following verse from Viz
gil OH the wall: Rise some avcnger
from my blood"
The Marquis OF Montrose when he
was condemned to have his limbs nail
cd to the gates of four cities said that
he was sorry that he did not have
enough limbs TO nail to all the cities
in Europe. and this he put into beautl-
full verse as he was walking to his eX-
ecution.
PATHS, a poet of Caen, finding him
self at the door Of death, composed a
poem, and De BarreauX, it Is said,
wrote while on his deathbcd well

THE CODE OF HONOR.
Dazzling as 1t Was In France In the
Time of Richelieu.

Dazzling as 1t Was In France In the
Time of Richelieu.
The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said, between 7,OOO
and 5000 lives during the twenty
years of Henry Tvs reign, was at its
height when his son came to the
throne The council of Trent in 154j
had solmenly condemned the practice
of single combat, impartially including
principals, seconds and spectators III
its penalty of accommodation. In
1902 an edict of Henry pronounced the
"damnable custom of dueling introduc
ed by the corruption of the century
to be the cause of so many piteous &C.
cidents, to the extreme regret and dis.
pleasure of the king and to the irrep-
arabic damage of the state. that we
should count ourselves uLSorthy to
hold the scepter If We delayed to re-
press the enormity of this crime"
A whole series of edictS followed to
the same effect, but it was easier to
make edicts than to enforce them.
Degradation, Imprisonment, contisca,
ton Of property, loss of civil rights and
death were the penalties attached to
the infringement of the laws against
dueling, and still the practice prevail
cd. In 1926 Richelieu published a
milder form of prohibition. The first
offense was no longer capital, third
only of the offenders property was to
be confiscated and the judges were
permitted to recognize. eXtenuating
circumstances.
A few months later the Comte de
Bouteville thought fit to test the min
listers patience in this direction. The
Place Royale had long been a favorite
dueling ground, and De Bouteville
Travelled from Brussels to fight his
twenty duel here, in the heart
of Paris, in deliberate defiance of the
kings authority. The result was not
encouraging. Montmorency though he
was, the count went with his second
to the scaffold, and the marked de-
crease from that time in the number
of duels may be attributed either to
the moderation used in framing the
law or to the memorable resolution
with which it was enforced.-Macmil-

.LEASEHOLD RIGHT
SETTLED BY COURT
Important Ruling Given by Judge in
San Francisco Tenants Claim
on Property Destroyed
by the Fire
By Associated Press.


/ SAN FRANCISCO June 1S.-Judge
iSeawell established an important legal
precedent today concerning the con-
tinuance of leasehold rights interrupt
ed by the fire. He held that the City
of Paris Dry Goods company cannot
force the Spring Valley company to
restore it's building on Geary street
and Grant avenue so that the plalnt1ff
may be housed therein.
The dry goods firm sought an in
junction to prevent the building from
being reconstructed except for their
purposes, and asked the court to quiet
their. leasehold title to the property.
The plaintiff maintained that in April,
1896, 1t entered into contract with the
water company to erect six-story
steel frame fire-proof building, on
which 1T executed a 20-year lease for
S64S,OO0 payable in monthly Install
ments On June 81, 1906, the Spring
Valley company sold the property to
the UNIQUE Square Improvement COM
pany for $500,000. The purchaser is
now turning the property into an office
building unfit for the purposes OF a
dry goods store, and the pialntlH
wishes the work stopped and the
lease it holds fulfilled.
Judge Seawell sustained the demur-
rer interposed by the defendant on
the ground that the property had been
Thoroughly destroyed, from the point
of view of equity. He declared that
no court of equity could enforce the
contract.

AMERICA POWER
At THE HAGUE
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, June 19.-The dele
gates Of various countries to the Sec
ond Hague peace conference, which
will be formally opened June IS, ac-
companied by a host of secretaries,
technical experts and attaches, to-
gether with small army of news
paper correspondents, are arriving
here by every train, and the lazy old
Dutch capital is beginning to buzz
with an animation such as has not
been witnessed since the conference of
1899
The Austrian delegation was first on
the ground. Gen. Horace Porter,
former ambassador to France and one
Of the American plenipotentiaries, ar
rived yesterday, as did the French,
Japanese and other delegates.
Already feeling is prevalent among
the arriving diplomats that the United
States is destined to play great role
in the coming conference. Under her
auspices the countries of South and
Central America will be introduced to
Europe on a footing of equality. The
European delegates entertain no doubt
that all the representatives of Amer
lea will present practically united
front at this conference, and hence
forth they will be an immense factor
in such world conventions.

matter how proud or arrogant or how
high his position may be, is above the
law.
1T vindicates the campaign institut-
ed some eight months ago to clean up
civic affairs in this city. Through
these many months by a considerable
portion of the community the prosecu-
tion has been maligned, it's motives
impugned and it has been character
lied as a persecution instead of a
prosecution. Twelve men of his own
choosing have declared him to be
guilty. This sweeps aside all criti-
cisms heretofore made against the
prosecution.
This verdict means more than the
conviction of Schmitz. 1t means that
those WHO have made possible his
treason in office will meet the same
fate. 1t means that the mighty princes
of finance who have defled the laws of
state and city will surely be convicted
1t means that confidence will again
be restored in the city; that law and
order are demanded by our citizen
ship and that new era of civic de-
cency has set in. We shall not stop
until the whole situation has been
cleared UP. Again may we repeat the
statement made at the Inauguration
of this campaign. No innocent man
need fear the law; no guilty man may
hope to escape it,"
Attorney J. J. Barrett of the de-
fense said: Nobody knows better
than the prosecution that this verdict
Is not worth the paper it is written
on. It represents in every particular
disregard for law and Justice about
which we have complained in unmisk
taxable terms at every stage of the
trial. We promise TO exhibit d record
of errors and misconduct without a
parallel in the history of criminal
litigation in California"
