and Humane Sympathy.

Kissimee, Fla, Nov. 2S.-Rarely mas
a grand jury ip this state or elsewhere
been confronted with more delicate
and difficult task than is the grand
jury which met here today To take up

Egbert u. Gillette and Sister Elizabeth
Sears, charged with wilful murder for
having caused the death of another
member of the Shaker colony near
Ashton. of Sister Sadie L. Marchant,
on August 22 last, by having admins
tered chloroform TO her.
More than ordinary interest Is at
tached to this case and the action OF
the grand jury will be awaited with
sympathetic attention throughout the
country, for the case i'm question in
wolves "a striking example of a conflict
between humane sympathy and the law
and places upon the grand jury the
burden of deciding whether euthanasla
is justifable nder certain conditions
or must rigidly be adjudged a crime,
no matter what may be the surround
ing conditions.
Sister Sadie l.. Marchant, one Of the
members of the small Shaker colony
which owns farm of about 1000 acres
around Lake Alligator, near Ashton,

DIRECT ROUTE ON
EXPRESS PARCELS
COMPANIES CAUSE DELAY AND
EXTRA CHARGE SAY WIT
NESSES AT HEARING
IN NEW YORK.

New York, N. Y. Nov. 2S.-Tracing
the elusive express package occupied
much Of the time at the hearing be-
fore Commissioner Franklin X. Lane
of the Inter- State Commerce Commits
sion, held in the rooms of the Mer-
chants Exchange, to inquire into the
charges. rules. and practices of the big
express companies. Witnesses told OF
the loss Of packages, the efforts to OBJ
tain compensation for lost and damag-
ed shipments, and the efforts TO have
goods sent by direct routes and not by
circuitous routes at the will of the
companies. This last was really a
most important feature of the pro-
.ceedings. and it is evident that the
compainants will try and have a rule
adopted embodying this principle in
inter- state traffic. Such a rule. it is
said, would give to shippers the quick
est service and the cheapest rate ire
spective of whether the express com
pany first handling the goods got the
long or the short haul end of the trans
action In Texas and Alabama there
is such a rule.
Benjamin Fairchild. counsel for the
complainants, pointed out that. under
Section Is Of the inter state commerce
act, the shipper has the right to route
his business, but Notwithstanding this
the express companies continue to pro-
vide in their tariffs and classifcations
that the rates are conditioned upon
their exclusive right to route the busi-
ness as they see fit
The law. which ii is evident the ship
pers would like to see enforced here Is
Rule Of the Alabama State Commits
sion express tariff, which provides that
when there are two or more routes
between points. one of which is more
direct and over which express matter
can sooner reach its designation the
shipper shall have the right TO desig-
nate in writing the route over which
shipment shall be transferred. pro-
vided the route designated is the most
expeditions or to the shipper the least
expensive. When express matter is so
rendered and routed IL should be the
duty OF the express company or COM
panies forming such a designated route
TO accept and transport the shipment
IN accordance with routing instruc-
lions"
