There are evident in this case all
the elements of the old time police
inefficiency; all the elements OF po-
lice protection to crap-shooting mig
gers and other offenders, which has
been the subject of so much com
plant by the people of Cairo and
which has been the cause of such ter
rible experiences in this community.
The people Of Cairo had some
cause to hope that there would be
an end to this sort OF thing in their
stricken city for time at least; tlat
some warning would be taken by
those in authority from the bloody
lessons of the past year. and that the
police government of the city would
be clean and reasonably firm for the
restraint of the vicious and lawless

might be cited, do not justify such a
hope They seem rather to indicate

LEGAL DECISIONS

The collision OF the vessels Kaiser

under the title Of the two yesse
above named, involves rather novel
question Of jurisdiction. The Kaiser
Wilhelm is German vessel: the Or.
noco a British vessel; the libelant a
resident Of the United States. but a
citizen of Australia. The collision
occurred within marine league of
he French coast, and presumably
within French water, n ne same law
relating to maritime Jurisdiction is in
force there as here. The action was
brought in the District Court of the
United States, which overruled all
objections to jurisdiction and took
aognizance of the case on its merits
N addition to the jurisdiction prob.
EN-, an interesting question inyoly.
~ was the effect to be given to a
tecision Of the English High Court Of
Justice, holding the Kaiser Wilhelm
solely responsible for the collision.
The American court held that while
doubtless this decree would not az.
ect the right of libelant TO establish
ler claim against either vessel. yet,
- between the vessels themselvs, IL
should b held res judicata, and, as
libelant was Indifferent as to which
one recovery should be against, the
Orinoco would be excused in accord
