IT was at first thought by many
persons who listened at the Wilson
trial, that the written confession OF
the prisoner before the jury oper-
ated greatly to his prejudice, but the
facts are slowly leaking out. This
confession did not have near the
weight against the accused, that his
appearance on the witness stand had.
which had an unfavorable impress
sion upon the minds OF several OF the
members Of the jury at the trial.
Juror Charles Reichel denies he ever
said any thing before the trial preju-
dicial against the defendant. More
than that, he is one of the few ju-
rors who voted against conviction in
the first degree.

INTEREST charges on delinquent
taxes benefit only the Spectators
who make . business of buying up
tax certificates. according to the be-
lief Of Will H. Hanna, treasurer Of
King county. Hanna points out
that at every sale Of property on
which taxes are delinquent specula-
tors buy it up and all interest accru-
ing thereafter goes to the holder Of
the certificate and not the county.
The plain intent of the law is that
the county should receive the ID per
cent. interest on delinquent taxes but
the system is open to such abuse that
the county virtually presents thous-
ands upon thousands Of dollars to
the men who are shrewd enough to
buy up the certificates. The same
condition prevails in all counties OF
the State, of course. Hanna suggest
ed q ready remedy in reducing the
rate Of interest so that the invest
ment would not be attractive to spec
ulatOrS.

TINES SwAY.-Very few of our
people have noted how old Father
Time with the remorSeless swing of
his sickle is revolutionizing the Su-
preme Court, the highest tribunal of
the world. Justice Brewer died in
the Spring of 1910, Chief Justice
Fuller a few months later in the same
year, and this month sees Justice
Harlan pass beyond. This great
jurist was one of the glories of his
country. A Kentuckian by birth, be
practiced law in his native State
until the war for the Union called
him into service in the federal army.
After his time OF enlistment bad .ex-
pired he resumed the practice of his
profession with constantly increas-
ing prestige until he was appointed
to the supreme court of the nation in
1877. There he rendered distin-
guished service for q period ex-
ceeded in length only by Chief JUS
tice Marshall and Justice Field.
ALAsKANS in Seattle were amazed
when the Seattle Commercial Club
gave welcome and banquet to Gift
ford Pinchot. who for five years has
prevented the Development of Alaska
and who still refuses even to suggest
any remedy for the situation. There
are all kinds of opinions as to how
Alaska should be opened up for de-
velopment, but everyone agrees that
something should be done. Pinchot
never saw Alaska until this year yet
he has been strong enough to keep
the territory absolutely locked up
and offers no suggestion as to how the
present generation is to accomplish
anything. The trade of the Sound
and the Pacific Northwest has suf-
fered enormously under this do-noth-
ing policy, so that is is hard to under
stand why Seattle commercial body
should pay honor to the former for
ester.

Eastern fair managers have made
lady aviators' an attraction for
drawing q crowd, based upon a
knowledge of the innate disposition
OF humanity for being spectators of
the intensely cruel and the possibly
horrible result OF such exhibitions.
Any incentive sufficient to impel q
human being Especially OF the fair
sex, 10 take her life in her hand as a
business proposition is certainly not
in diScord with those finer feelings
which peryade her gentler nature.
Those who attend as spectators, are
surely impelled by the same morbid
curiosity as to see showmen handle
poisonous reptiles, or expose them
selves to the dangerous assaults Of
wild animals, or climb to lofty
heights. where chances of horrible
deaths are the impelling motive.
Death of a male Snowman whose
only stock in trade is that he is will
ing to assume au unusual risk, is
bad enough tor human caprice, but
when poor, frail and idealized wo-
men are willing to pose as victims, it
shows that the human heart is cap
able OF entertaining the emotions Of
the veriest savage. This is in evil
dence many times in as many ways.
The man who shoulders his rifle to kill
is seldom actuated by an appetite
for the game he encounters with SO
much labor and at times peril TO
kill, or possibly only wound and con-
sign to lingering death. The feel
ings Of the woman who is so sensi-
tive as to require some male compan-
ion to bait her hook, and after the
empalement of the horrible worm,
pursues her cruel diversion of hook
ing the finny tribe. is doubtless modi-
fed by the thought that the suffer-
ing is all at the end of the .rod and
line.
1t is quite probable that fair man
ayers are not mistaken in the ex-
pected influence their announcement
will have upon many women who will
be drawn. to state the matter plain
ly and bluntly as it is truthfully, to
see some venturesome sister fall a
mangled corpse from q devilishly in
spired continuance, that now or
never will be Of any useful service to
mankind. 1t is hardly possible to
call this progress, although it may
seem to be for a time OF an upward
direction, the fall at once dissipates
all thought of its being forward.

MUZZLE PAINTED ON DOG
FOOLSPOUNDMASTER'SM MEN
English Bull Enters Into Owners Conspiracy but Ex-
poses Cunning Ruse by Swapping at Duck
Trousers and HObbIe Skirt.

If an English bulldog, aided and
abetted by a skillful artist. fooled the
poundmaster for many long day with
a muzzleless muzzle, is the Joke on the
law or the dog-catcher?
In other words. If your dog wore a
muzzle that didn't muzzle, owing to ar
tistic deception on your part, ought you
to go to jail or be given a raise in salary
for cleverness?
That is the problem confronting the
poundmaster. A well-known Washing
tonian has pet bulldog, and both have
congenial prejudices against muzzles
Yet, law is law, and a mere prejudice
cannot overcome it, nor the danger that
said bulldog will be yanked off to the
pound some day and be subjected to all
sorts OF indignities.
In this dilemma, the owner used paint
and brush to good effect. and gave dog
gle an imitation muzzle that looked like
The Washington herald., 1911-07-15

the real thing and fooled everybody.
The dog entered into the conspiracy.
Disliking leather more than paint, he
chose the lesser Of two evils, and al
low himself to be decorated with a beau
tiful muzzle which did not keep his in>
perial jaws in leash and yet seemed to
satisfy all the requirements of the law.
The scheme worked brilliantly until a
day or two ago. Then the bulldog forgot
himself. He playfully strolled up to
pair Of duck trousers and a hobble skirt
and gave each a cute little tug with hts
teeth. The result was complete ex-
posure, and much wailing and gnashing
Of teeth at the home OF the canine. AS
result of the indiscretion. the bull is
now doomed to wear a real rnuzzle and
not an artistic sham.
This is the end OF the story. The
poundmaster does not know whether ne
ought to prosecute or have a laugh on
himself.

TWO ITALIAN DIPLOMATS
INVOLVED IN BIG FRAUD
Names Connected with Arrest of Daniel Valera in
Parcel Post Scandal-CIeaned Up Large
Sums, 1t Is Charged.

Two important members of the italian
diplomatic corps stationed in Washington,
various representatives of the Italian
consular service in New York and other
cities, and numerous other persons, Fed
eraI agents declared, are to be involved
following the arrest yesterday by United
States Marshal Henkel of Daniel Valora,
representative in New York City of the
Italian parcel post
Valora was arrested on q warrant is
sued by United States Commissioner
Shields, charging him with using the
mails to defraud, and was held in 5000
bail for a further hearing next Tues
day.
Meanwhile the scandal is to be brought
before the Federal grand jury sitting in
New York, and according to statements
of various Federal agents indictments in
all probability will be returned against
various italian representatives, including
the two members of the diplomatic
corps.
Names Kept Secret.
Every effort is being made by the Fed

Of the italian officials who are connected
with the arrest Of valora. Federal rep

Would Raise Amount.
After the contents had been examined
by customs officials and the duty placed,
Valora would pay the amount and collect
later when he delivered the packages to
the persons to whom they were ADDRESSED.
The Federal indictment returned against
Valora alleges that after paying the duty
on certain packages he would increase
the amount when the package was de-
livered.
In some cases, It was declared, where
no duty was assessed on the contents of
certain packages, Valora would fix one
and collect, pocketing the proceeds. In
this way it is charged. VaIora is de-
clared to have cleaned up a large sum

examined for a commission at Fort
Leavenworth, Kans. The result will not
be known for weeks, as the papers have

In his first examination, Bloom passed
in the tactical part, but was rejected
because Of alleged lack of aptitude in re-
gard to general appearance and soldierly
aspect.
