 Preach Chamber.

Paris, March 26.--Beyond deciarihs that no member of Parliament had in- tervened to shield Henri Koch cite. the French promoter who was arrested on last Monday on charges of swindling on an enormous scale, Minister of Jus tice Briand refused to discuss the case when Deputy Ceccaldi presented his interpolation in the Chamber of Depu- ties this afternoon.
 The Minister pointed out that the court was conducting an invest.ga- tion. and that, therefore. discussion of the case in the chamber would be ili-timed.
 M. Ceccaldi complained that the sr- resA of Rochette had been greatly de- layed, and he demanded more eCec- tive governmental prohibition of ftard- ulent issues of stock. With this, the incident was closed.

A SAMPLE OF JUSTICE.

New York newspapers are telling of
recent incident in that city which
illustrates the influence of social ties
or associations at the expense of JUS
tfce. It seems that William K Wander
bflt was arrested by a policeman for
overspeeding with his automobile and
brought up before Magistrate Frederick
Kernochan on the charge of violating
the speed limit. When taken before
the magistrate Vanderbilt called out,
How are you, Freddie?" and the other
promptly responded: Good morning,
WILL" Then, although the policeman
swore that will" was speeding at a
rapid pace and that he had to chase
him two or three blocks before he could
catch him, the case was dismissed on
Vanderbilt's statement that he was
pokng along at speed of not more
than seven or eight miles an hour. 1t
must have been an "easy' policeman
who thought his oath would stand
against the word Of a Vanderbilt, but
he probably has been wised up a bit.
The explanation of the proceeding is
that Vanderbilt and Kernochan belong
to the same fashionable set, and justice
was not in the game.

with pay for each commensurate with
the highest grade in which he served
This measure, it is estimated. would
If passed requires an extra outlay OF
about 81, 000, 900 a year. A logical COM
panion bill creates retired list for all
volunteer soldiers, sailors and marines,
with a minimum compensation OF S50
a month apiece. Such an enactment
would involve an additional expendi-
ture of from $500 900 to $12o,0o0,00o
a year, bringing the total cost OF pen
sions a year to perhaps $3.50 900 .o0o-1ust
double the expenditure of 1906-'07. 1t Is
evident that the government cannot
afford to enlarge the pension list in this
extravagant manper. 1t is dealing with
it's pensioners in a spirit of great lib
crafty, and should not be expected to
attempt experiments which would
clearly overstrain its generosity.
