NO CRIME TO HUG AND KISS
Not an Attempt to Do Violence, But
Generally an Evidence of Affec-

Baltimore, Md-In the habeas cor

Judge Elliott in the court of common
pleas, the point arose as to whether
hugging and kissing is crime. Fish

and fined $25 and costs on the charge
of assaulting girl in Baltimore by
hugging and kissing her Thomas j.
Mason, who represented Fisher, made
a point that hugging and kissing was
not crime nor an attempt to do vio-
lence, but generally was an evidence
of affection, and as the charge did not
show that Fishers action was against
the will of the girl, the prisoner
should be discharged Judge Elliott
smiled and ordered the prisoner dis
charged without comment. Fisher

Berlin Banker Is Convinced That

proved by Public Sentiment,
Command Confidence.

New York.-Paul Hartog, director
of the Bank fur Handel und Industrie
of Berlin, who is making an official
investigation of American industries
and its financial institutions, believes
prosperity has come to stay and de-
clares American securities of the rec
ognized variety to be safe for foreign
investments. He said:
Il came to this country somewhat
skeptical regarding American business
conditions, but from what l have al
ready seen and what have learned
have become thoroughly convinced of
the inherent soundness of the indus
trial and financial situation in this
country.
Il feel certain of the continuance of
the prosperity which your industries
are now showing.
"One point on which | have been
specially impressed is the thorough
ness of American organization in all
lines of endeavor, and with the effec-
tiveness of your corporation manage
ment
in the latter respect there has I'M
doubtedly been much improvement in
recent years as result of aroused
public sentiment of honest and eff
cient management, and / feel, speak
ing generally, that the management of
your corporation is now such as to
command entire confidence"
Following the report of special
agent who personally investigated
conditions In China and the far east
as a representative of one of the larg
est wholesale dry goods houses in this
country, it is probable that America
will make important trade extensions
into that populous territory.
This agent found that the Chinese
were willing to purchase from Ameri
can houses and that the latter pro
duce many goods which the oriental'
can profitably use. The trouble in thu
past, according to this special investi
gator, was that American houses seek
ing business there had no persona
representatives on the field.
The Germans did have such repre-
sentatives with the Chinese and hav
profited by 1t. The report declares tina
an enormous business can be don

can industries established In China

Eight Feet Into Earth

Walpole, Mass.-A meteor weighing
200 pounds dropped on the farm of
w P. Nickerson, a former newspaper
man of Boston. in Brooks street.
That the meteor struck the earth
with fearful force is attested by the
fact that it buried itself nearly eight

The wandering body came within

theory that the tribes must be re-
lated in some way to the Asiatic PEG
pies across the Pacific.
This theory, he believes, is borne
out by certain peculiar resemblances,
and is associated with the discovery
that at least one tribe In the neigh
borhood of Los Angeles, is intimately
related to the famous Aztecs OF old
Mexico. The theory is of the greatest
