SHERRERD TO HAVE
LEG WOUND PUT
UNDER THE X-RAY
City Engineer Insists that He
Was Shot at Four
Corners.

To satisfy himself as to the nature
of the wound received in the right leg
last night while standing at. the Four
Corners waiting for car. City Engi-
neer Morris r. Sherrerd has decided to
have an x-ray photograph taken of the
injured limb for the purpose of finding
out whether there is a. bullet still in
the wound. The examination and
probing by, Police Surgeon J. Henry
Clark revealed nothing of the kind, but
Mr.. Sherrerd declares that he distinctly
heard a report as of small-calibre
rifle behind him just as he was hit.
The examination of the leg of the en-
gineer's trousers revealed small hole
not large enough for the entrance OF
even 22-calibre bullet, and the wound
itself is scarcely large enough to admit
a piece of lead as large as that. Mr..
Sherrerd says that 1t felt as if the
cloth of the trousers was carried klto
the wound with the force of the blow,
as he had to pull it free from his leg.
The engineer went at once to police
headquarters, where Sergeant Prout
looked at the wound and sent him to
the surgeon Police Sergeant McRell.
of the Sixth Precinct. was standing
within few feet of Mr. Sherrerd at
the time he was hit, but heard no shot.

the fire was discovered by Mr.. Wood.
Mr.. Wood signalled the train to stop,

LOSE FIGHT TO
BREAK WILL OF
RICH SP|NSIER
Miss Burnet Was Said to Have
Ordered Apostles Names
Put on Cats Collars.

BY decision of Judge Davis. rem
dered in the Orphans Court today.
fhe will of the late Miss Anna A. Bur-
net, the rich spinster who died in Hill
ton on October Is last was admitted
to probate. thus ending a bitter legal
contest. in which Miss Burnet was al
legged to have been so queer during her
lars on each bearing the names of the
twelve apostles.
Miss Burnet left an estate valued at
100000. which was largely inherited by
her. and in her will made provisions for
various charities amounting to $4,000.
Thirteen days after her death the
win was admitted to probate in the
surrogate's office, and this was soon
afterward followed by an attack upon
its provisions by Charles w. Wilson, a
son of the late James Wilson. first
cousin of the deceased.
Through Leonard Kalisch. his coun-
sci. Wilson alleged. undue influence on
the part of the executors named in the
instruments Lewis p Taylor and An
drew S. Taylor and an attempt was
made to show that Miss Burnet was
not mentally sound enough to know
what she was doing when she disposed
OF her estate.
Told of Eccenfricitfer.
Nearly a dozen lawyers were at the
several hearings on the will, as each
of the charitable institutions named in
it were represented by counsel. In the
attacking party, besides Leonard Ka-
lish, were Samuel Kalisch and former
Judge Alfred F. Skinner
One of the features of the testimony,
introduced by the contestants in order
to show that Miss Burnet was weak
minded. was that of one of her rela
tives who insisted that on one occa-
sion she had ordered dozen cat coll
lars on which she wanted engraved the
names of the twelve apostles. The cat
story finally reduced itself to the fact
that Miss Burnet was the actual
possesor of only three respectable
Lfelines.
1t was also alleged that Miss Burnet
had a habit of asking guidance in her
business affairs by prayer, but Judge
Davis, after remarking that placing
collars on cats may have been merely a
matter of eccentricity, declared that
many people mentally sound had d
habit of seeking aid in their temporal
affairs from the Supreme Power.

AN AMENDMENT TRICK.

If the Democrats did not have the SER
viceable:Wilson county law with which
to put through their underhand schemes
they would be at a loss how to secure
even corporal-guard support for the
disfranchisement amendment in some
of the counties. Where that iniquitous
law is not operative there is not the
same opportunity for legerdemain poll
tics. The scheme is simple one. 1t
is to lose the amendment amid the names
of the candidates so that the illiterate
vote will not be able to find it and in
the general shuttle of marking the COM
pick ballot the amendment proposal will
either be unintentionally voted or escape
negative vote.
Such scheme is, of course, out of
the question in Baltimore city and in
counties where the Wilson law is not
effective. In all such cases the amend
ments will be printed in a seperate col
umn to follow Immediately the list of
candidates. While the Democrats may
gain some votes for it in the counties
where the colored population is large,
yet in these Wilson dominated counties
their scheme will re met with checks.
1t is to be borne in mind that the last
Legislature amended the election laws as
affecting the Wilson counties so that
sample ballots and cards of instruction
are not posted in the election booths
and outside the guard rails. Conse-
quently, there will be no guides for the
illiterate voter. This state of affairs
is straw showing which way the Dem
ocratic wind blows. 1t is only by re-
course to tricks and devices that the
party maintains power in the state,
even though with substantial normal
majority in its favor. Rather than SUBJ
stitute clean politics that would invite
the confidence of the people it prefers
to eliminate by wholesale voters of the

GOVERNOR CROIHERS' MISUSE OF
BALTIMORE DETECTIVES.

Governor Crothers has been roundly
scored for having sent Baltimore detec-
tiyes to Frederick county last Saturday
to watch for violations of the law at the
Republican primary election-and prop
erly so. He is the head of his party in
Maryland just as President Taft is the
head of the Republican party in the
Nation. Under ordinary conditions,
where no political considerations are in
volved, a prudent Executive does not
override local officials unless grave
conditions exist which are beyond the
control of the local authorities chosen
by the people to enforce the law. No
such condition existed in Frederick
county and there is no suggestions any,
where that the local officials either ask
ed or desired his aid. The Governor
himself says that he acted at the request
of prominent" Republicans, although
he does not name them, and thereby, by
his own confession, took sides under
cover of his official authority in pri-
mary contest within the Republican
party. The Governor smarting under
the criticism his action brought forth,
says that the Republicans are opposed
to the Corrupt Practices Act, good
roads and other things which of course
is not true. The Republicans stood for
Corrupt Practices Acts for years while
the Democrats opposed it. They are
for good roads just as earnestly as the
Governor or his party with the addition
that in the building of them partisan
politics shall be eliminated The Re-
pubhcans are opposed to unwarranted
meddling in their affairs by Demo-
cratic Governor who is playing politics;
Republicans and fair minded Democrats
are opposed to Baltimore detectives be-
ing used to intimidate Republicans and
at the same time encourage the workers
of the Governor party to resort tC
their old practices. The Repub-
licans do not get a fair deal in the

The JUDICIARY.

Mr. Taft in his speech at Charlotte
called the Federal Judiciary the strong
est bulwark that we have in this coun-
try to protect ultimately our institutions
of civil liberty, and proclaimed as the
rule governing his own policy in relation
to appointments that there is no more
sacred duty that the Executive has than
in the selection of men whose appoint
ment and service on the bench will
strengthen it (the Constitution with all
the people at large"
Nothing that Mr.. Taft is likely to do
as president can be of more Importance
to the country than his selection of Fed
eral Judges. He has already expressed
the opinion that 1.-The greatest question
now before the American public is the
improvement of the administration of
justice, civil and criminal" but there
can be no such improvement unless men
who are in sympathy with reformed
procedureiare named for the bench.
Our courts have inherent powers that
are beyond the authority of any Con-
gress or Legislature to change. They
have constitutional powers such as have
been vested by no other country in such
tribunals. No Congress, no Legislature
can enact law abridging the constitu-
tional rights of .any American citizen
unless the courts acquiesce. No statute
can deny justice or work injustice IN
less the courts cooperate to give it
validity. Indeed, the only law that has
practical existence in this country is
suchsa law as the courts will construe
and enforce, says the New York World.
Whatever Congress or Legislatures
may try to do to diminish the laws de-
lay, the final reform must lie in the
judiciary itself, which has the power to
interpret what the legislative depart
ment has done. Without waiting for
legislative action the courts can hasten
and cheaper the process of justice by
quickening the procedure and by deny
ing appeals that are based on mere
technicalities.
While the Federal judiciary, as Mr..
Taft says, is the strongest bulwark ito
protect ultimately our institutions of
civil liberty it is to the State courts
that the average citizen must look for
the administration of justice in matters
that most Immediately concern his well
fare. 1t is not the Federal courts but
the State courts that interpret the Con-
stitution and laws of the State in rela-
ton to its citizens, and the State laws
are those that are closest to the daily
life of the people. In a republic there
is no more exalted service that any man
can peform than to be "a just and up
right Judge, whether he be Federal
Judge or a State Judge.

1t istsome time since we heard from
ThomasiL. Hisgen, late candidate for

ticket. He still lives, but rises to re-
mark, that the Independence League or
Hearst party, is dead and that he will
be a candidate for United States Sena-
tor from Massachusetts to succeed
HenrysCabot Lodge, Mr. Hisgen fur
Their informs the public, that the cause
of his party's death was "the withdraw
al Of financial backing" That has prov
ed fatal to numerous parties in their
early years.
1t must be said for Mr.. Hisgen, that
he conducted a gentle, we'll behaved
campaign for the presidency, and he ap-
pears to!be man of commendable can
dor. When he found that his party was
dead, he admitted the fact, took leave
of the corpse and disposed of it in a
becoming manner. Members of some
dead parties have persistently declined
to perform their duty in this respect.
1t is.discouraging to Mr.. Hisgen's am
bition to 60 to the Senate, that all par
ties IN Massachusetts, except the one
to which Senator Lodge belongs, are as
dead as the one whose demise and fun
