TIE GRAFTON CASE.

In discussing the now famous Graf
ton case and tho statements made
thereof by Judge Henry c. Bates ana
the Army and Navy journal. we said
there was more than one side to the
case, particularly with reference to
the Journals arraignment of Judge
Bates This fact Is now EMPHASIZED
by the current issue of the Army and
Navy Register which says editorially:
The Buffalo On. y News prints a
pryotoChnic tribute to those who were
instrumental In raising fund of near
ly 10000 for the defense of Private
Grafton and the conduct OF the Graf
ton case before the United States SUI
preme court, The Buffalo paper i'm
piles that the case would not have
been brought IN a successful issue had
it not been for this generosity on the
part of the army and the expenditure
of the large fund which was collected
Az the Washington Herald remarked
the other day in an editorial comment
on tho Grafton fund, the whole pro-
ceeding was unnecessary and on that
account unwlse, II involved the grave
risk of "A waste OF money ana even
now the custodians of the fund are
having difficulty In disposing of the
surplus accumulation after all reason
able bills are paid
As a matter of fact, the Grafton
case could have been and should have
been conducted by the war department
and the department of justice. Indeed,
arrangements to that end were made
by the judge advocate generals office,
but the plan OF having the case con-
Quoted by paid attorneys with the ex-
penses made up by contributors had
reached such a Roadway that the war
department stepped aside and allowed
those who were specially interested
to do what they pleased. More than
this. President Roosevelt, ii may be

pardoned Grafton. So that, In any
event, Grafton would not have been
obliged to have served out the SEN

in the Philippines.

he well for enthusiastic originators of

eminent Is in possession OF the facili-
ties OF conducting cases before the
courts. The Grafton fund was steadily
Increased by contributors, to many of
whom the contributions meant self

measure of what it meant to those who
contributed, it was most creditable

HATS AND TRIMMINGS.

The almost universal adoption of now
ing trimmings at the back of the hat
is at last working a change in the hat
itself, says Ilarper's Bazaar, that final
authority on fashions. For that matter,
the new long veil is one of the results
of it. The long back hrlm. trailing almost
to tho collar and worn, in some In
stances, in the early summer without
any trimming, has met with no real APP
probation. The hat with tho short front
on the other hand. is stlll in the state
OF evolution, Even the picturc-hat shows
the influence OF the short brim. Those o!
the latest style are all oval, whore for
merly they We're round, and the wide
ends are worn at tive side, while the
shorter brims are for the back and front
Some OF the smaller hats are positively
cropped In the front. and others have
the brim rolled mp close to tho crown In
way that brings about the Same re-
suits In the contour OF the head.
