years the keeper of the national purse

This is astonishing frankness on the

pockets of the taSpayers A good deal
of it is coming out of drink, if M.

.STEINHEIL CASE
REFORMS COURTS
CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE IN
PROCEDURE
Santos Dumont Has Thrilling Expert
ence When New Airship Flies
Too WelI-France Faces
Big Deficit

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-One result of the
Steinheil case will be the reform OF
Franch judicial procedure. M. Bar-
thou, the minister of justice, is credit
ed with the intention of int oducing a
bill to parliament which will embudy
certain changes. In the meantime M.
Lhopiteau, deputy, has deposited a
scheme. The Franch procedure VIII be
similar to the English. The interr g
atory of the judge will be suppressed:
The burden of the prosecution VIII tall
upon the procureur- general or his rep
resentative, the dvocate-general; the
Judge will have nothing to do with
that, his duty being merely to Welsh
the evidence and to examine the VIII
nesses if counsel fails to elicit the
facts. AS his right to sum up has al
ready been taken away from him, the
president of the court will find his
role reduced to the restricted one or
arbitrator.
The extraordinary feature of the
Steinheil trial was the manner IN
which the witnesses contradicted them
selves. In no case did they maintal
the statements they are supposed TO
have made before the Judge dim
struction." The magistrates court
room was a regular market-place, 1T
seems, while the instruction was be-
ing carried on. Persons entered and
went ont witnesses chatted together.

MUST DRINK LARGE BOWL
OF CHAMPAGNE AT ONE TIME
Guests of Kaiser at First Visit to His
Hunting Lodge Compelled to
Take Big Draught

BERLIN, Dec. 1S.--An amusing cer-
emony took place at the emperor's
hunting lodge at Letzlingen during the
visit there of the Archduke Franz Fer
dinand, the Austrian heir apparent.
A large bowl, which was purchased
by King Frederick William III, Is
produced always at the lodge on these
occasions and guests who are on their
first visit are expected to drain it of
champagne.
The bowl however. is so mounted
with stag horns that it is extremely
difficult for drinker to empty 1t with
out spilling the wine over his clothes.
AS the drinkers stand before the
kaiser with the rest of the guests
around him the occasion is always one
of great merriment. Among the vic
Tins who were obliged to undergo the
ceremony during the recent visit were
the crown prince of Greece, the kais-
er's third son, Prince Oscar, the Aus
trian ambassador and the imperial
chancellor, Herr Won Bethmann- Holl-

All this misfortune, as M. Santos Du-
mont himself said, comes from trying
to be too fast. The motor with which
he and his demoiselle distinguished
themselves at Saint Cyr was only q
IA horsepower one, and not content
with this he replaced it with a 40
horsepower engine and brought the
machine to Issy les MoulineauX. He
thus admitted having committed two
mistakes in making experiments with
more powerful engine on a smaller
field than that at Saint Cyr.
The 40-horsepower motor worked we'll
too we'll, in fact. 1t made the dem
oiselle sCurry from one end of the
field to the other so fast that he did
not dare to attempt a curve and mere
ly flew in a straight line. On the sec
ond trial 1t left the ground almost in
stantly and darted along so fast that
he had to shut off the motor after go
ing a few hundred yards. He then
landed so near a wall that for fear Of
striking it he put his foot on the
wheels under the frame to act as a
brake. The machine being thus stop
ped too quickly threw him out over
his head and was itself smashed into
bits. "If / had known that ii was
going to fly so fast" he said after
wards 81 would have remained at
Saint Cyr." The aviator was luckily
unhurt by his rather dangerous fall.
Incidentally it may also be men
toned that NJ. Santos Dumont is 10

the Bols de Boulogne, on the green
lawn of Bagatelle, where on October
10 and November 12 1906, he made his
first successful flights, and for that
matter the first public aeroplane flights
in France The request for permission
to erect a monument on this spot by
his many admirers has had to go
through many official formalities. but
the prefect of the Seine has now given
his bene placitum, and has transmitted

council, with a recommendation for its
approval The statue will represent

arms, supports two wings, and will be

determined to oppose it tooth and nail.
They held @ big meeting at which they
adopted q resolution setting forth that
they consider the proposed new taxes
TO be utterly unjustifled and that they
are convinced that If there is dehclt
it is due to waste and could easily be
made up by that economy which every
candidate promises but is apt to for
get when he gets safely into parlia-
ment They add that the new taxes
would, if enforced, complete the rum
of the small trades people and also OF
the hotelkeepers who are already
oVerburdened," and thGy have en-
powered their representatives to bring
this resolution to the notice of the
president of the council and the min
lister of finance.
Will Oppose More Officers
In the course of an instructive con-
versatlon after this meeting the pres
ident of their syndicate said that they
meant to be even more energetic than
the national federation of dealers In
liquor. For one thing, they were re-
solved to oppose the constant increase
of the number of functionaries, some
of whom received thousands Of dollars
ner annum but did absolutely moth
ing. Since 1900 the taxes had increased
at an enormous rate, and now they
were all resolved to oppose the depu-
ties for Paris and the provinces VINO
might vote the new taxes when the
general election came off.
The hotelkeepers syndicate, the
nresident concluded, embraced the
whole of France, and its members
even in remote corners, would know
what to do, as they would receive in
structions from headquarters. Thus
the hotelkeepers will have to be reck-
Nod with. as well as the pubicans,
ana a they are both powerful bodies
their opposition is not to be despised'
There is, moreover, some talk of a
fat refusal to pay the new taxes If
they are voted by parliament.
M. Santos Dumont has had thrill
ing experience at Issy les MoulineauX,
where he was thrown out of his de-
moiselle head over heels and the said
demoiselle had all her ribs-that is
to say, her wooden stays-smashed.

tie of some genial commercial center
instead of a chamber reserved for the
secrets of justice.
To Change Preliminary
The preliminary examination of the
accused and of witnesses is also in
the melting pot. NJ. Mequil'et, deputy
for the department of Meurthe ct Mo-
selle, has laid on the table of the house
of Projet de Loie giving wi SIS s, in
their preliminary examination. the
right to employ counsel Reform is
already zen marche" before even the
bill has been discussed by TIE cha Der
of deputies. At a case which was heard
in Paris recently-a case of no partic -
lar interest, involving charge of rob-
berry and the receiving of stolen goods
the judge abandoned the usu9l inter-
rogatory of the prisoner and left the
case to the prosecutor and the defense.
The avocat general recognized in the
course of the hearing that there was
no case and the two prisoners benefited
by the doubt.
There is visible an anti-Steinheil
campaign in a certain section of the
press Its most active exponent is the
implacable Henri Rochefort, who at
tacks the .'veuve tragique" every
other day in his eading article in La
I
Steinheil has found no time to visit the
tombs of her husband and her mother
both of whom she processes to have
adored 'In these days of fast auto
mobiles, would it not have been pos
sible to have kept the dressmaker
waiting a few minutes while she visited
the grave of her dear dead?'" asks
the redoubtable polemist in his most
ironical mood.
Justice Served in End
The opposition press persists in de-
claring that Nine. Steinheil's acquittal
served the ends of the republic. Be
cause she was very nearly convicted,
there is now a movement to reform the
procedure. In the same way the result
Of the condemnation of Dreyfus by the
second court martial was a radical en-
deavor to suppress courts martial by
act Of parliament. In other journals,
