A most noticeable demonstration OF
the progress OF the judiciary has been
given by that Justice Garrison, OF New
Jersey. who. in passing upon a verdict
OF $500 rendered for a 5-year-old
girl whose left leg was cut of by a
street car. said:
This verdict is too high. The jury
did not take into consideration the
great Improvement in cork legs"
In far back times. in times OF such
judicial minds as Solomon or Daniel,
the judicial action would have been
much more crude Solomon would
probably have promptly and definitely
settled the differences between plain
tiff and defendant by ordering the left
leg cut off the president OF any street
railway company that ran It's cars SO
carelessly as to dismember little girls.
Daniel would perhaps figure 1t out
that left leg cut of is gone forever.
and, consequently, priceless.
But such decisions belong TO an age
upon which We are prone TO look
down as lacking in progressive civil

Our judiciary. especially, has adj

OLD MAIDS AND OTHERS

Perhaps there are lot OF other
girls who are worrying about the same
thing-a fear of finding the silvered
hair. OF the first wrinkle. of the long.
weary vista OF middle and old age
with no one To love and no one TO be
loved by. Perhaps family ties will be
sundered and brothers and sisters fit

II isn't a pleasant prospect. and one
cannot blame any girl for feeling bit
anxious at times.
Perhaps IL Is the fast increasing
competition In the business world that
Is forcing young men 10 grow timid
about taking up extra burdens. Per
haps the past few years OF lavishness
and speed-the era OF the auto and the
aeroplane-have changed and muddled
the minds of youths so that the simple
plain Joys of a fireside and a smiling
wife to welcome at the end Of a days
work are less alluring than the bright
lights and the dash for pleasures OF
the moment.

NO WEAPON BESIDE CORPSE
Testimony of Mayor Meyer In Sayler
Trial Is Damaging TO the
Defense.

Watseka, H., Mar 2S.--Edward z.
Meyer. mayor of Crescent City, and
one OF the first men to view the body
OF j. B. Sayler, was on the stand
all day in the trial of DR.. W. r. Mil
Ter, Mrs. j. B. Sayler and John Grun-
den for the murder of the banker last
July. Cross-examination OF the wit
ness by Attorney Free P. Morris for
the defense tailed to shake the direct
testimony of Meyer, who steadfastly
declared that on his first examination
OF the room he saw no Ratchet and
that later in the night he discovered
q Ratchet near the body of Sayler
This. Ratchet, he maintained, had no
blood on IT,
The plea of self-defense advanced
by DR.. Miller has been based on the
assumption that Sayler made an at
tack with q Ratchet before he was
shot The prosecution has devoted
much time TO an attempt to prove that
no Ratchet was in the room When the
neighbors were summoned to the Say
Ter home.

New York, Mar 2S.-One of the
most atrocious murders in this city,
apparently the work of fiend with
a homicidal mania and riyaling in
grewsome detail the crimes Of Jack

the charred body of Ruth Wheeler, II
years old, a pretty stenographer who
had been missing from the home Of
her widowed mother was found in a
yard in the rear of 224 East Seventy
fifth street.
This is the house in which Albert
Wolter, man now under arrest on a
charge OF abduction in connection
with the girls disappearance, had a
room. The girl had been attacked
before she was slain, and her clothes
had been saturated with kerosene.
The oil had been ignited with the evil
dent intention OF incinerating the body
and thus removing all traces of the
crime, but when this failed the charred
body had been doubled up and placed
in a burlap bag.
