IN ENGLISH LAW
Criminals in Great Britain Are
Neither COddIed Nor
LiOnized.
WHEN PROVEN GUILTY,
PENALTY MUST BE PAID
Murderer Appealing From Sen
tence of Twelve Years Has
Three More Added.
BY PAUL LAMBETH.

Special Gable TO The Tribune,
LONDON, Nov. i9.-HoweVcr much
people may rail at English customs and
institutions, the administration OF Eng
lish laws is above reproach. Grim
inals arc neither coddled nor lionized.
and when they arc proven guilty that
settles them until they pay the penalty.
Here is a sample case. In the criminal
appeal court, William Sampson. con-
vicLed at the Old Bailey for shooting
with intent TO murder a man In a
railway tunnel. appealed against his SEN
tencc of twelve years penal servitude.
The lord chief justice was OF opinion,
from the nature Of the offeuse, that the
sentence was too light. and the court in
creased the term to fifteen years. The
appeal added three years to the punish
lHent.
Legal Equality Recommended.
Six women who practice medicine re-
Gently testified before the divorce com
mission recommending legal equality
of both sexes. DR.. Helen Webb thought
q divorce the only solution for q very
unhappy marriage. The other women
declared that men should be held to the
same standard of morality that Is eX-
pected and required OF women. Sex did
not dignity nor. minimize an offcnse
against the code Of Christian morals
Worlds Supply Radlum.
Sir William Ramsay. the well-known
scientist, thinks that England will short
ly supply the worlds radIum. 1t is now
being produced in appreciaoe quantities
al Limehouse from the product OF the
Trenwith mine In Cornwall. To date
some 5000 milgrammes OF the precious
compound have been produced, contain
ing 10 per cent Of pure radium bromide.
The factory at Limchouse was erected
for the manufacture OF radium on a
rector OF the company states that they
propose TO put this amount upon the
market in the course of day or two.
He thinks II will fetch anything from
Gl0,000 TO G2O,0O0.
How It is Obtained.
The process adopted at Ljmehouse is
more rapid than amy in use ON the con-
tnent In describing il. Sir William
stated that the pItchblendc ore from the
Trenwith mine was delivered in con.
centrated form. The uranium, Iron and
uranium, was dissolved, and the next
stage WAS 10 precipitats the rsdium out
OF the clear liquid. When prccipitated
the radium was converted into radium
lizatIon, this bromide was separated into
various grades. The time occupied in
getting the radium liquors was week.
aud the crystalllzation which went on
a(tcrward took Il couple OF months. The
continental process occupied year. 1T
has been supposed said Sir William.
"that Austrian pltchblende Is partIcu-
larly rich in radium, but II is no richer
than any other Moreover the supply Of
pitchbcndc III Cornwall. AS far as ] can
| Judge, Is much larger than In Austria.
There Is no other source Of supply OF
such magnitude known AT present. The
supply OF radium In Great Britain is as
sured."
England's Naval Expenditure.
A special report shows that since 1906
! Euglands naval expenditure has been
| G1a0. T36 So for maintenance and E39.-
| g73 S96 for new construction, The est!-
! matc for 1911 is $40 sos. 700 for naiiltc-
nance and ci4.o51 $50 for construction
Tho United States alone approaches tho
| English figures. To reach n comparison
| between the naval expenditure OF Grcat
| Britain and OF the other naval powcrs. II
| Is nccessary to eliminate from the tots
naval expenditure under Great Britain
| the cost OF pensions, coast guards anc
| steamship subsidies, which wss estimated
| to total e2 2SS3.000 in 1901. and I@,-
| TAI. 700 in l9o910. as there arc no vote!
