Arbitrary Arrests in the United
States.


A sinister Indication of the pro-
gress Of American Imperialism
the imperialism which, beginning
ten years ago in foreign conquest,
is now reacting in domestic
tyranny-is afforded by the ar
bitrary arrest of De Lara in Los
Angeles, an event of which we
give an account this week in our
News Narrative. In a time of
peace, when there exist none of
the excuses for arbitrary arrests
which war affords, a man is thrown
into Jail, "incommunicado"-to
borrow an appropriate word from
the vocabulary of Spanish des-
potism, without other warrant
than telegram from an admin
istrative bureau at the seat of the
central government three thousand
miles away!
Think of it! You who can recall
American jealousy for personal
liberty, either at first hand through
your memories or at second hand
through the history of your coun-
try, think of it! "Arrest So-and-
So and hold him subject to the
orders of Such-and- Such De-
partment of the Federal govern
ment." Upon that kind of tele-
gram from officials at Washington
appointed by the President, to
officials in a distant State also app
pointed by the President, the lat
ter arrest an individual in that
State without warrant, incarcerate
him without judicial hearing,
and hold him captive, ''incom-
municado," subject to further
orders from the department which
has sent the telegram!
1t is said that the man in this
case is a foreigner. Even SO, If
this be crime shall he not never
theless be arrested by judicial
warrant, and his alienage be in
vestigated judicially, as in any
other charge of crimep If the ac-
cusation of alienage is enough to
warrant so high handed a bureau
cratic invasion of personal liberty,
what stands in the way of similar
arrests regardless of citizenship
upon similar charges? And if a
foreigner may be tried by bu-
reaucrats without Judge or jury,
upon charge Of alieneage, and be
thereof convicted and deported,
what is to prevent similar trials
and deportations of citizensp To
permit such proceedings against
foreigners because they are for
| eigners, is to authorize it against
citizens.
1t is analogous to authorize ar
bitrary arrests and punishments
for crime, on the plea that only
criminals are affected. How dc
we know that a man is a criminal
except through judicial trial by
due process Of lawp How shall
we know that a victim Of this re-
viyal in the United States OF the
lold 'slettres dc cachet'' Of France
is foreigner except through the
same due process Of lawP Arbi-
trary arrest Of any person for any
caase in time Of peace, spells arr
bitrary arrest for any other person.
Thisis one Of the Lessons Of his
tory.
When this particular case is
scrutinized, it reveals an astound- :
ing situation. From what country

HAVE WARRANTS
POLICE CANNOT ENTER SOFT DRINK
 CONCERNS WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
City Attorney Mcintyre Presents His Opinion of Much-Discussed Mat ter to the Police Commission,
 Based on Justice May
 fields Decision.

That the police must first have search warrant when a raid is made upon the establishments of soft drink concerns suspected of selling liquors and beer, was the text of an opinion rendered by City Attorney Pat Mcintyre to the Board of Police Commission
 The matter was brought to the at- tention of the Board of Commissioners immediately after the decision rem dered in the Alabama Supreme Court by Justice Mayfield, and the opinion on the Justice was not exactly clear to the members of the Commission as to the right of police officers relative to the seaching of the soft drink eatab- iishments suspected of retailing liquor against the prohibition laws.
 Before the meeting of the Commis- sion also the matter of paying to Police Oficer w. A. LaPrade the sum of sI20 for lost time through injuries received while in the lclty's servicefwas again discussed. The matter was was finally given to the city attorney for an opinion.
 The matter has been before the Council for some time. On the first presentation of the petition to, the Council to allow the officer lost time pay the Council made 8 favorable re- port, but the report was disapproved by the Mayor. The matter was later referred to Nthe Police Commission which pigeonholed the matter.
 Recently the matter was again pre- sented to the City Council. Again il was approved, and again the Mayor disapproved. The Mayor held that the matter lay exclusively with the Police Commission, but the Councilmer claimed that the matter was spruns before the existence of the Commis' sion, and that the Council, there fore had jurisdiction, se City Attorney Mcintyre will, there fore, decide the matter In nis opin

 Birmingham. May 22.-(special.)-- Mayor Frank P. o'Brien will be called on in few days by a commit tee of the Birmingham Fairgrounds and Athletic League and requested to allow certain park lands of the city on South Highlands, in low places, to be converted into a public playgrounds for the city The intentions are to take the property and so arrange it that there will be couple of terraces overlooking the general field.
 There is much of this park land no " on the Highlands that Is not being used for any purpose which the Play grounds and Athletic League believes can with a little expense be put in great shape for the objects named. The one park on the north side of the city In which a running track, jumping pits tennis courts and other playing courts are arranged, is proving of great value. There are two large schools within a block of this park and the playgrounds are not only crowded during recess at these schools but In the afternoons when school Is over The Fairgrounds and Athletic Association is to make an effort 10 in- crease the playgrounds facilities in Birmingham and Mayor O'Brlen has shown an inclination in favor of the movement when he recommended to the board of aldermen recently that In purchasing property in the Eleventh Ward for a new school that adjoining property be taken in so as to provide playgrounds.

orderly Attack. a.rr.

Versailles is in a state of great ex- citement owing to an extraordinary affair which ocurred there a few days ago.
 A large garrison is stationed in the town, and among the artillery officers
 quartered there is Captain Briard, who
 occupies a portion of big house
 with his two daughters, aged respec-
 lively IS and 16, and his son. boy
 of 15. Major Courverchel, another artillery officer. dweiis in the other
 half of the building.
 Suddenly four successive shots re-
 sounded through the place, and the
 maJor's housemade, hurrying to the
 door of his apartments. opened it, to receive in her arms young lady. dis-
 hevelled. and covered with blood be-
 hind whom was a man holding a still
 smoking revolver. It was the cap- | teia's elder daughter Mile. Suzanne Briard. and the man who was follow
 ing her witt the revolver was his soldier servant.
 The door was promptly slammed in
 the orderly's face. and soon the house.
 maid had started off in search of a doctor, who found that Mile, had
 been wounded in the head and the left hand.
 The Police Commissionary called . few moments later and Mile. Bfiard
 was able to give him an account Of
 the attack which had been made on her. f57e
 T was" she related. quite alone in
 the house. my father having gone out
 with my sister. and my brother being
 at school. I heard the orderly. who was busy in an upper story, call me, and I went upstairs as fast as the | luggage on the staircase (we were going to Touiouse) allowed me. When reached the landing the orderly | aH Fxwp at nA a l question to me that I did not under
 stand. I remained silent. paralyzed | by terror, and the miscreant dealt mo q violent blow on the face, exclaiming | Now am taking my revenge Then
 he pulled a revolver out of his poe
 ket and fired at me several timea" Mile. Briad was too weak to say any more, and soon afterwards she was being conveyed in an ambulance | to the hospital, where closer investis | gation of her injuries revealed the
 fact that two of the four wounds which she had sustained were very 1 serious
 Meanwhile the building was being searched for the perpetrator of the outrage, and finally he was discovered crouehing m a cellar. He had re-
 tained his revolver, but he offered no resistance.
 At the police station he was quea. I tioned, and then he was conducted
 back to the scene of the assault. He had been sulky and taciturn, but at l last he related that he had long had
 q grudge against the young lady. as 1 she had got him into trouble with her | father on several occasions and that
 as he was alone with her in the house
 he had deemed this favorable op- | portunity for revenging himself on | her. It seems however, to be thought
 that he may have had quite different | motive.

 The medal was presented on April II, 1908. In less than a year Bob had gone by the same route from which he had saved the other..
 The Idea of the medal was that of the late Mrs. William Knox.

Tragedy en : steamer.

From Marseiuee comes an accounI of tragedy which ocurred on board a French liner which left that part three weeks ago bound for Australia and New Caledonia.
 Among the frst-ciass passengers was q wine merchant of Bordeaux. who was accompanied by his wife and their infant child. One evening. while they were in the Red Sea, he went to his cabin, and found 1t empty. Re- cognizing his wife's voice in the ad- journing cabin, he entered it, and found her holding the baby in her arms. and a man hiding behind the door He told the man what he thought of his conduct, and as his wife was hurying up the deck he bade her go 10 their cabin. She obey ed. after confiding the child to lady, and presently four revolver shots were heard. and when some of the of- ficers of the ship rushed into the cab- in they found the woman lying badly wounded on the floor.
 She expired the next day and her husband was handed over to the Bri- tish authorities when the steamer arr rived at Adon. and will soon be on his way back to France.
