TO Be DEPLORED

The dismissal on motion of
District Attorney Tilden of the old
indictments against Henry Weber,
Thomas B. Hickey and Volney B.
Leonard. for embezzlement, is
another evidence of the weakness
of our system of making and
enforcing laws. These men have
been accused of serious crimes.
1t has been charged in each case
that. in3 violation of confidence
reposed in them by other people,
they took money and converted it
to t heir own uses. They either
did or they didn't. If they did,
they are thieves and deserve to be
punished like any other male
factors. If they didn't the facts
should be brought out in court
before jury and they should be
turned loose without stain on their
characters. Having the cases
dismissed on techicaIity leaves
them in q bad state before the
people and leaves their alleged
victims with no hope of getting the
satisfaction of knowing where their
money went or who got it. 1t
requires no evidence to convince
them that it is gone.
There seems to be altogether too
much word splitting too much
respect for precedent and moi
enough attention paid to the matter
of finding out who committed the
crime and administering the proper
dose of punishment. 1t really
makes no difference as to the guilt
or innocence Of defendant whether
he hauled away his plumber in 6
wa gon or cart but from the results
of some trials especially of wealthy
malefactors one would suppose
that if man stole lot of hams
using wagon to move them and
was accused of using a cart the
case and the hams would go by
default and the thief, having
been on ce. in jeopardy, would &c
free. ~~ ."a 4
Some day, perhaps, it will be
possible to give judges more
latitude in determining the grade
of crime. When a robbery OF
other crime is committed. and the
thief found. even though he be
accused of burglary, when the
evidence shows the cine to have
been larceny or robbery, the Judge,
who. is presumed to know the law,
should have the power to change
the complaint to fit the evidence,
and when it is shown that a person
has done that which he ought not
to have done, hand him out his
medicine. Wonder News.

agreement had been reached with
france on all tariff differences, and that
at Albany today he would sign procla-
ma.icn giving to France the rs per cent
reduction of rates provided for in the
Payne.Aldrich tariff law.
President Taft received last night e
long cipher dispatch from Secretary
Knox conveying the contents Of cable
gram from France which indicated that
the proposition made by the United
States had been accepted.
France has agreed with the United
States on 90 per cent Of imported arti-
cles, and in lieu of sn agreement on the
remaining 4 per cent. is willing to grant
still further concessions in the list al
ready agreed to, This is acceptable to
the United States. Because of the high
increase of duties on champagne 1t had
been predicted that a iaiiff war with
France Was almost certain.
