AS TO DROWNED PERSONS.
Absence OF Water in the Lungs Need
Not Indicate Murder.

Absence OF Water in the lungs Need
Not Indicate Murder.
Several cases have been reported In
the newspapers recently in which the
absence of water in the lungs Of per-
sons found immersed in ponds and riv-
ers has led to the conclusion that death
had occurred before immersion, and
that the crime was therefore murder,
and not suicide, says the New York
Times. AS the matter is Of great Grim
inal Importance, permit me to call at
tention briefly to the report in 1862 of
committee appointed by the Royal
Medical and Chirurgical society Of Lca-
don to investigate this question.
It was a well-knOWn fact that in most
drowned persons water was not found
liz the lungs, and it was supposed by
many that In drowning spasmodic
contraction Of the entrance Of the wind
pipe took place which prevented the en-
trance of water. The committee made
a very careful and prolonged investiga-
ton and came to the conclusion which
1 summarize as follows:
/. Water does not enter the lungs in
drowning In animals drowned by i'm
mersion in water the lungs, if examined
Immediately afterward, are full Of
water. If dog be drowned In plaster
Of paris the plaster is found in the
smallest tubes. In guinea pig whose
nose only has been immersed in mer-
curry the globules Of mercury penetrate
the finer tubes.
2. If the examination be delayed for
several hours or longer, as is generally
the case, no water may be found in the
lungs, absorption having taken place
even after death. In experiments upon
animals it was found that forty or fifty
ounces Of water could be introduced
into the lungs without any of the liquid
being detected there an hour or two
afterward.
In cases of undoubted drownings In
human beings, when the examination
was delayed for several hours after
death, fragments Of water plants and
other foreign substances may be found
in the wind pipe and larger tubes with
out any water being detected in the It's
sue of the lungs. Absorption of water
takes place in the lungs even after
death and therefore the absence of wa
ter in the lungs many hours after death
has no bearing upon the question of
murder or suicide. 1t is very import
ant that this fact should be generally
known.

a state statute prohibiting the trans
portation without the state, through
pipes or conduits, of the waters OF

valid, and to infringe no constitutional
rights.
The rule that a servant cannot re-
cover damages for an injury he could
have avoided by ordinary or reasonable
care is held to apply to cases of negll-
gence in law arising from the violation
of statute.
In a prosecution for homicide caused
by a spring gun set by the accused, it
is held that one has no right to take
human life, directly or Indirectly, to
prevent mere trespasS upon or theft
of property.
That a license of a right to use

A tenant in possession Of a building

thing to show that the tenant, or any

The assessed valuation of all the
property of the State of Illinois is
81 ,250.O0O,OO0 of which less than $780,
100000 is farm property. Cook county
pays more than 40 per cent of all State
taxes.
If Illinois should follow the lead Of
New York and Pennsylvania, and pay
Of general tax levies, the farmers would
get by far the better end of the bar
gain. If this State should follow the
New York plan of issuing bonds, and
provide, say $5O0OO,OOO, to be spent on
highways within ten years, it would
add about $4,000 miles Of hard roads to
the 1900 miles now built. This would
leave one-third Of all the States high
ways permanently improved.
To raise $5O,O00,000 in ten years, at
the rate of 100000 a year, one-half
to be paid by the State and the other
half by local bond issues, would require
q State tax levy Of two mills. This
tax on each farm would be exactly 81
per year, or $40 for the ten-year pc
Rod. In other words, farm would
pay only $40 into the tax fund, while
Cook county corporations and the State
railroads would pay large proportion
of the entire levy.
During the ten years the owner Of
farm would pay slightly over 500 for
bond interest. Including the $40 direct
tax for good roads, the maximum
charge to each farm for the ten-year
period would be about $3.50. This is
about 10 cents per acre per year.
The increased value of Illinois farms,
as the result Of such policy, would
hardly be less than SO per acre, or
ten times the amount Of direct State
taxation for good roads.-William J.
Shanks.

.sMorst Roads in America.o

M. Worth Colwell, writing on the
worst roads in America in Outing, says !:
Charles J. Glidden, the donor Of the
Glidden auto trophy, who holds the
worlds record for automobile mileage
and who has Travelled in nearly a dozen
countries a distance of more than Co.,
600 miles, declared that never In all
his touring here or abroad had he en-
countered such execrable mud road con-
ditions as those in Ohio and Indiana
on the road to South Bend. Speaking
on this subject, he said: Seventy per
cent CT the roads encountered on this
tour would by any European govern
ment be closed to travel and marked
Use at your own peril One of the
things that this tour has accomplished
is that it has revealed some Of the de-
plorable conditions Of the highways Of
a prosperous nation. The accidents on
the tour were due wholly to the bad
roads, which were unknown to the driv-
ers. They were the worst trails mag
inable."

ity of the farmer, and thus contribute
to the general business prosperity. The
fact that railroads are ardent advo-
Gates of good roads, as well as Of i'm
proved interior waterways is sufficient
evidence that business men generally
will profit through them as we'll as the
farmer
The labor interests are perhaps more
concerned with the solution road i'm
prOvement will give to the question of
convict competition than any other
phase Of the matter. Humanitarian Ia
Dor leaders agree that the convict's
health, as well as the general good Of
the community, requires some sort of
physical activity for every prisoner.
They believe the convict is a minimum
menace to union principles when he is
equipped with a shovel and pick and is
given virgin stone and crude clay with
which to work.
Illinois has wretched country roads,
and still 40 per cent of the inmates of
it's penitentiaries and reformatories are
manufacturing articles sold in the mar
l1et in competition with the product of
union labor. This 40 per cent, as well
as the other 60 per cent, which does
not find enough to do in fashioning
equipment for State institutions, would
save the State itself, the farmers and
laboring men, thousands of dollars a
year if given employment on the public
highways. The same can be said of
numerous other States.
New York State is preparing to spend
$50,00OOO0 on roads. In California,
Los Angeles county is considering the
raising of 100000 for similar pur-
pose. In Colorado, $50 miles of noun
tain roads around Colorado Springs are
to be improved. Michigan and Massa-
chusetts have made plants for extensive
highway work. From coast to coast
the people are interested in the subject.

Co.t Of GOOD ROADS.

The commissioners of Chester coun-
ty, Pa, recently received bills from the
Pennsylvania State highway depart
ment for improvements made on GER
tain public roads in various townships
Of the county, as follows: Westtown,
S15,OOS.31; Schuylkill, $2S,863; Valley,
S11, 996.33; AvOndale borough, ST.

tract price, the extras, the inspection,
the engineering and surveying, etc. The
State pays two-thirds Of the expense,
the county pays one-sixth, and the
township pays one-sixth.
