THE LAWYERS.

An address was made at yesterday
mornings session of the American Bal
Association at Chattanooga. Tenn, by
Col. w. A. Henderson, of Washington,
chief counsel OF the Southern Railway
The address was followed by the read
ing of the reports Of the committe on
grievances, taxation and the report OF
the comparative law bureau.
The section OF legal education. OF
which William o. Hart, of Louisiana, is
chairman, also met yesterday and was
opened with Judge Harris annual ad-
dress, followed by the report of the
committee on standard rules for add
mission to the bar, read by Lucien H.
Alexander, OF Pennsylvania,
Woodrow Wilson, Of New Jersey,
president OF Princeton University, de
livered tonight the annual address be-
fore the association. His subject was
THE Lawyer and the Community"
The only way to stop wrongdoing by
corporations is to pick out the guilty
individuals. even if the innocent suffer
at first
An incident OF the morning session
was the charge that Joseph III. ChOate,
Of New York, former ambassador from
the United States to Great Britain, has
been guilty Of the violation of the con
stitution OF the Americas Bar Associa-
ton in failure to uphold the honor
Of the profession of the law and petit
ton that he be expelled from the Bar
Association were presented to the
AmericanBar Association yesterday and
referred to the committee on griey-
ances.
These charges were filed by
James X. Watts, of New York, through
his attorney, George w. Chamlee, Of
Chattanooga a member OF the Bar AS
socaition.
A petition that Mr.. Choate be ex-
PEELED from the American Bar Associa-
ton was offered.
Lawyers in attendance on the meet
ing Of the American Bar Association
were astonished that sensational
charges had been preferred against MI.
Choate. All agree that the charges
have been made at least twice be-
fore in meetings Of the associa-
ton, but most OF the delegates
were in ignorance Of their presentation
at Yesterdays session.
There can be no action on the
charges within year, even should
they be taken up by the grievance com
mite, which in its present status is
hardly probable.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

A dispatch from Snow Hill, Md, say:
mystery surrounds the death of Silai
Crippen, who was found Sunday along
the tracks OF the Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia Railroad A jury OF in
quest returned a verdict of death by
hands unknown. Crippin was found
close to the railroad track. He haC
been hit by the Sunday morning ex
cursion train. II was found by the jury
that the body was placed by the track
after death and that death was caused by
deep cut on the topof the head which
caused the brain to be emptied from
the skull After the murderer had
struck the fatal blow on the head and
the brains OF the victim had been
emptied from the skull, he fired q
bullet through the head. This is APP
parent because the brain was not
punctured by the bullet.
A pistol and an axe were found a
short distance from the body. Neither
pistol nor axe had been identified, but
a pocket knife had been found which
may aid the authorizes to locate the
guilty party or parties. The body was
bruised by the train and some bones
broken, but otherwise it was not mangled
and Identification was easy. The
ground along the track showed no signs
OF scuflle.
A woman was heard to say Saturday
night, on the streets Of Stockton, II
know who did it, but don't expect to
tell.@ AT the time, no attention was
paid to the remark, and those who
heard it do not know who the woman
is, but it now supposed she was hurry
ing from the scene of the murder.

AT recent meeting Of one OF the
branches Of the Vienna Medical Society
Professor Schlesinger introduced il
"sboy man." who swallowed in the
presence of the assembled scientists,
according to a published report, a
soup plate full of large stones and
pebbles and followed these with two
ban6fuls OF shoe nails. The nails were
allowed to slide down one at a time,
head first. When this feat had been
accomplished the man declared himself
ready TO swallow a lamp chimney and
a live adder, but the physicians refused
to allow him the privilege" A dis
cussion followed, in the course (which
the assertion was made that sEowmen
usually die young" IN answer to this
the case of Harry Johnson was cited.
He died in England, aged l03 years
He had been a circus man from ms
fourteenth year, performing as rider
and on the trapeze and the tight rope.
"Showmen of the johnson kind, " 1t
was said, live as long, despite the
risks they take, as clerks or book
keepers, and should not be included
with the glass and nail eating class. "

his five trunks were found several suits
of new clothes and questioned again he
admitted that he had spent 1910 or
more for these same clothes. What

known as the beS hunting shot in
England, is believed today to be the
man who accidentally shot Lord
Kilmarnock, during a hunt yesterday
at Balleter, near Balmoral Castle.
Sir Victor Mackenzie was the third
member Of the party, but as the king
was in highly nervous state when he
reached home and the details Of the
shooting have been suppressed as far
as possible, it is assumed that it was
the kings gun that peppered Kilmar-
mock with shot at a distance OF forty
wards. Kilmarnock was injured in the

Wall street and Mr.. Roosevelt.

New York, Sept. Wall street
views the western speeches OF Colonel
Roosevelt with emotions ranging from
disgust to anger. As a rule, however,
these feelings are suppressed. Many Of
the leaders in the financial world, who
frankly admit privately their hostility
toward the ex-president, hesitate to GO
on record publicly-apparently not
knowing what may happen. Few could
be found today who skare the opinion
expressed yesterday by Henry Clews in
his statement belittling the possible ef-
feet of the c0lonel't remarks on the
ground that they are merely the utter
ance of private citizens.
In a statement issued today, }. ;.
Bache & Company, the brokerage firm
that engineered James A. Patten S
cotton pool, said Roosevelt is de-
stroyer, not up an upbuilder. Roose-
welt endeavors to tear down by violent
criticism, but offers no sane remedy
or reasonable method Of improvement.
In whatever light it is looked at Mr..
Roosevelt's speeches out west will stir
up trouble. They are intended to
benefit Mr.. Roosevelt. His speeches
are those Of a demagogue, and are in
tended to and do arouse excitement
and resentment.
But what he says has no real pur-
pose or direction. By his broadspread
TRADES against the business honesty OF
the nation he smirches all business.
The tendency would be to still further
reduce confidence here and abroad II
his words had weight, but abroad he is
already discredited and ridiculed.
The position he assumes politically Is
an unfair one. Under cover he is attack
ing the administration. But he
shoulders on responsibility.
Thinking people are beginning to
discover him in his true light, and the
best thought must eventually control. "
Il shouldn't be surprised if Roose-
welt discovered and endorsed the Ten
Commandments before he got through"
said A. Barton Hepburn, present presl-
dent OF Chase National Bank, comp
troller oil the currency under President
Harrison.
Roosevelt seems to have made the
remarkable discovery that there are
crooks in all stations OF life who should
be punished don't think his present
utterances will have any material eff
feet upon business. "
