JUSTIcE AS SPEEDY HERE AS
IN ENGLAND.o

According TO the Picayune, Judge
Chretien is reported to have said that
the English courts did not try cases
and dispose of them any quicker than
in Louisiana. On the contrary, the Grim
inal courts in this State, and particularly
in New Orleans. got rid of cases on the
doclets much quicker than in England.
This statement will not be disputed,
and may be applied in general sense
to every judicial district of the State,
but the speed of the trials may be accel-
Grated or checked in keeping with the
influence and the means of the defend
aEateesizfged with crime.
There are recorded instances when
the trial of the prisoners was unprece-
denied and their conviction and execu-
ton have followed with all the CELEBRITY
possible within the extreme limit Of the
law, but these were lacking in means
and in friends having influence to de-
feat the ends Of justice.
II may be said that this statement by
Judge Chretien was suggested through
the trial and the conviction Of DR.. Grip
pen, but notwithstanding and with all
due respect it is asserted that If DR..
Crippen had been tried IN Louisiana or
III some other States Of the Union on
the evidence submitted in this English
court, he would have eventually escaped
from the clutches Of the law, unwhipped
Of justice. and if not "heroized' he
would, through his supreme audacity,
have maintained bis standing as being
d gentleman
In the same article of the Picayune
Judge Chretien is quoted as having said
thai the Louisiana courts handled cases
more rapidly and promptly than the
English courts dc, but In all such eases
the culprits were not Cfippens.
Occasionally some man Of money and
influence may be convicted, which may
be cited as exceptions to the general
rule, but such d man, II convicted, does
not hang. nor long remain in prison or
the peilitentiary
Without rejecting On the courts and
the judges. Il Is asserted that what is
needed III Louisiana, ii not in other
states. is more justice and less quib-
bling on frivolous and haif-splitting
techncalities.
The Caucasian WOULD repeat what it
has said III reference 10 the conviction
of Dr.. Crippen: If there were less tech
nicalities and frivolous pleadings in the
American system, there would be placed
a greater value on life, and murders
would become rare occurrence.

AUsTIN'S ASHES
ARE REINTERRED
Remains Laid to Rest In State
Cemetery at Namesake City.
SOLEMN SERVICES HELD,
All Departments Close and Thou
ands OF Persons, Including Many
School Children, Participate In
I Q Impressive Exercises.

With the profound solemnity beit-
ting, the remains of the late Stephen f.
Austin, which for nearly sixty four
years had laid in Brazoria county,
were reinterred in the state cemetery at
the city which bears his name.
In the senate chamber, where the
grand pioneerhad lain in state twenty
four hours the funeral services we're
held. The only service in the senate
chamber, which was beautifully deco
rated with bowers of ferns, flowers and
potted plants from the capitol green
house and gardens, was q prayer by
Rev. J. r. Briggs.
The school children formed an ave-
nue. at the south entrance of the CAPT
tol, through which the funeral cortege
passed. The legislative committee first
came and in order followed distin.
guished personages, including Gov.
Campbell and Hon. A. w. Terrell, both
of latter honorary pallbearers: active
pallbearers, carrying the bier; state
and city officials and members of the
Austin family. Funeral procession
was led by police, rangers, military
company and band.
At the grave Rev. DR.. Briggs said
1t was fitting that the remains of the
father of Texas should lie beneath
the sod in the city which bears his
name, and in the capital city of the
state which was SO dear to the heart III
the dead statesman and soldier.
Rev. DR.. Wright then offered pray
er. When the grave had been filed
and floral tributes banked about it
Mrs. Rebecca Fisher, president OF the
Daughters of the Republic, placed a
Lone Star flag upon the monnd with a
supplication for peace to the ashes OF
the noble Texan.
On the simple wooden headboard oil
the grave appears this inscription:

THE PROPER WAY.

Yes, they license prize fights in
Nevada. The legislature of the state
at one time took up the matter and
decided that 1t was proper for the
battles to be brought off within its
confines providing the license of ST.
600 exacted for the same, was paid.
AS a consequence Nevada has had
fewer prizefights than any other
state In the union.
1t is also true that there are a
number of virtuous states of the
union that are making a frightful
noise over the fact that Nevada
licenses fights and at the same time
they have more battles in their own
state every year than Nevada has
had since the law licensing the same
has gone into effect.
As long as men live there will be
contests of strength and endurance
and should the time ever come when
the American people become so re-
fined that boxing, football and kind
red games are put under the ban,
then We may look for the downfall
of the stars and stripes. Two men
entering the arena to try conclusions
with the light gloves are without
doubt the personification of all man.
ly strength. They are trained to the
moment, there Is not one ounce of
flesh upon them but what is actually
necessary to do their will, every
muscle is strong and pliable, every
nerve steady and their brains per-
forming their wonted duties. These
men are evenly matched and as they
stand facing one another, eyes glued
J to eye, waiting for the opening that
each feels sure will come to him
sooner or later, they make a picture
of manhood that is good to see and
teach a lesson to the thousands as
sembled as to what the physical con-
dition of each and every American
should be.
Under the licensed fights of Ne
yada, each man is compelled to OBJ
tain a certificate from a practicing
physician that he is in good physical
condition and able to withstand the
great exertion which he must un-
dergo.
In the states of the union which
have laws prohibiting prize fighting,
the officials are bribed to overlook
the breaking of the law and thus two
crimes are committed. The sanity
anti-fighters overlook this lapse of
the law and spend their time abusing
Nevada wherein the law of the state
is complied with. The men who
have succumbed to the rigor of the
battles in the prize ring have fallen
victims to the law of those states,
which prohibit the battles. The men
are undertrained and in no fit con-
dition to enter the ring. They, as a
rule are men who have followed the
rough life and feel that they can
battle for a time at least, caring not
whether they win or lose, as long as
they are able to keep the pot boiling.
