THE GRAND JURY of Baltimore city made
thorough investigation of the killing of the
negro man by young Frank Brown, who drove
his automobile over him on the street at night
several weeks ago, but failed to indict him in
connection with the matter. The recommen.
dation of the jury that it be made criminal
offense for person to run over another with
vehicle and then leave him in the road should
be taken up by the lawmakers If the action
is brutal and cowardly it certainly should
be placed under the ban of the law. In its re-
port the jury said: I'VE cannot pass I'M
noticed, however, the action of the automo-
bile party after the accident in driving off and
leaving the unfortunate man dying in their
tracks. This we characterize as brutal and
cowardly in the extreme, and in our judgment
law should be provided to punish offenders
guilty of such an act" They have been max
ing it very warm all around for young Brown
since this occurrence and his resignation from
the Automobile Club of Maryland is one of
the results of the affair.

POINTED REGENT.

The London Daily Mirror claims TO
be in a position 70 announce upon
the highest authority that the en-
peror of Russia purposes to abdicate
within a month. and that Grand Duke
Michael will be appointed regent
during the infancy OF the czarevitch.
For the past three or four weeks. the
paper says. the events in this direc-
tion have been proceeding with light
ming rapidly in ST. Petersburg. but
the secret has been well kept. Con
tinuing, the Daily Mirror says: Late
ly the emperor's mind has given way
even more completely. and he has
shown himself incapable of perform
ing the smallest duties OF his rank. "
The lower house OF Parliament is to
be abolished, and there will be form
ed a military dictatorship with the
object OF stamping out revolution and
putting an end to anarchy in Russia.
The paper declares further that a
marriage has'been arranged between
Grand Duke Michael and Princess
Victoria of Schleswig- Holstein. and
that the visit TO London OF the dow
ager empress of Russia was chiefly
for the purpose of negotiating this
marriage.
Count Benkendorff, the Russian
ambassador to Great Britain. in an
interview regarding the story pub
lished in the Daily Mirror. expressed
surprise Herewith and said he had
heard nothing officially or otherwise
to confirm these statements, He did
not believe them, but on the contrary
he discredited the story entirely. Bar

The election of Nicholas Long
worth, the presidents son-in-law, to
the Senate in place of Senator Fo-
raker is now said by the Washington
gossip to be part of the Roosevelt
program for Senator Foraker's an
hiliation and the elevation OF Score
tary Taft. According to the story
Mr. Longworth is slated to have the
first bite at the cherry and succeed
Senator Foraker in 1909 If the Roose-
velt-Taft movement is successful
while Representative Theodore e,
Burton is to wait until 1911 to sue
coed Senator Dick. 1t is minated
that the threat against Dick, who
controls the Ohio machine, may be
intended to brighten him into coming
into camp and supporting Taft in
stead of Foraker. How much ere
dence the story deserves remains to
be seen; it comes from sources not
wholly friendly to the president
