USED WORDS HE UNDERSTOOD
Clever Idea of Lawyer That Won Sailor Juryman to. His Side
 of the Case.

It was clever lawyer in a Boston court recently who took advantage of the nautical knowledge he pos sessed to work upon the mind of a juryman who did not seem to show much comprehension of case of suing a street railway for damages.
 The dull member was an old sailor, who though doubtless very keen of perception along some lines, was nev- ertheless rather slow in his under standing of the points involved in the case being tried, says the New York Journal The lawyer noticed this and made his strike with this particular man. Approaching the jury box, he addressed himself to this one jury man and said:
 Mir. Juryman. will tell you how il happened. The plaintiff was in com mand of the outward bound open car snd stood in her starboard channels Along came the inward bound closed lar. and just as their bows met she jumped the track, sheered to port, and knocked the plaintiff of and ran over him"
 The sailor was all attention after this version of the affair and joined fin a $5.000 verdict for the injured man

MORTON MAY SUCCEED REID
A Rumor Current That Equitable President May Go to Court
 of St. James.

Washington, Feb. 11.-It was rumor- ed in high diplomatic circles that the British embassy has transmitted to the state department the acceptability of Paul Morton, former secretary of the navy and now president of the Equitable Life Assurance society, for the American ambassadorshlp to Lon don.
 Developments during the last week in the international field have been such as to make it imperative for this government to appoint Whitelaw Reid's successor at once instead of waiting indefinitely, as had been planned by the president.
 It Is held by European diplomats that MT. Morton's appointment would be another wedge of the J. P. Morgan influence in Europe, as the former Is essentially a Morgan man. Robert Bacon, the American ambassador to France, is also member of the same financial group which is now acting In unison with the administration.

An Exaqqeratlon,

Mrs. E. R. Thomas. the day her horse Nemesis won at Grayesend, was congratulated on the brilliant success of her racing stable.
 When one wins" Mrs. Thomas an swered, "one's losses are forgotten. But in racing ones losses are many, and the keeping of stable has its troubles.
 "The general idea of racing stable, the idea that it is one long triumph and joy, is very wrong. It is as ex- aggerated as the foreigners descrip- tion of our mammoth hotels.
 "This man said of our hotels:
 "In America everything is on a grand scale. They have gigantic buildings of incredible splendor. lived in New York in hotel of such colossal proportions that when I rang the bell Thursday evening the waiter would come to my room Monday morn ing.'"

JUSTICE FOR POOR
SPLENDID DEED TO CREDIT OF
 NEW YORK LAWYER.
Man of Emlnence at the Bar Devoted His Time and Money to Defense of Unfortunate, Friend
 less Woman.

A shrinking woman in the shad0n of the electric chair, or certainly of prison cell, with little girl clinging to her. was spectacle in the New York criminal court that fixed the at. tention of the city and. in a way. of the nation. It was a character in the old story of a husbands infamy and wifes sorrow, of a tragedy in which the woman was strengthened by des- peration and sent to his death the brute who assailed her and stood forth with blood upon her hands, al though not in any real sense a mur derer.
 Here was one of the cases that often are railroaded through the courts. Only a woman of lowly sta. tion. without a string of friends or in. fluence, without gilt-edged or, indeed any other kind of counsel, she seemed fated to go to death, or at any rate to immurement in a cell and her child to be lefs to the buffeting of hard for tune. But in New York, so careless of the individual in it's competition fot life and position; in New York, where poverty abounds and suffering is reck oned in grand totals; in the great American metropolis was set the ex. ample of giving the fullest justice to the poor. Instead of the court assign ing for the woman's defense some fail ure or legal incompetent, with a pit tance of a fee, to do the perfunctory work of making a defense, one of the leading lawyers of the city was given the case, with fee of $500. With aa much ability as he would have dis played in the defense of million. dollar client-perhaps with even more heart-he built up the womans plea until 1t was made a bulwark of secul ity about the frail life.
 Then the jury was given the case For ten minutes it remained out To deliberate upon her guilt or inno cence? By no means, but to raise a purse of $500 with which to send her out from the hall of stern determina. tions into the sunshine and solace that $500 would bring woman seeking to take up again the thread of a broken life and make that life count for the good of her child. The big lawyer, for whom it meant a personal cost of $1,000 to prepare the case, has the use of his fee already planned. He will give it to the woman who is debt tor to him for her liberty. We'll might the foreman of the jury thank hin n behalf of the client for his fine spirit and remark that if there were more lawyers of his sanding to take a sim liar course there would be fewer in rocent persons in prison. Tais in stance should be an incentive to other courts and lawyers. The adequate de fense of the unprotected is the noblest sorvice the courts or the lawyers can tender.
