GRAFT IN ELEPHANT
HUNTING IN BURNAi
Odd Case Before English Prlvy coun-
clifford Chancellor Gays He

ODD Case Before English Privy couo-
CLIFFORD Chancellor Saws Hs
Wonders.
LONDON. Jan. rl-Ths judicial
COMMITTEES OF the English Privy Coun-
cil has been wrestling with case OF
alleged graft" In elephant hunting In
burma The Lord chancellor, after
hearing the evidence, Is said to have
asked Lord Atkinson In a voice of
wonderment IL there n any remote
spot on earth or any occupation. how
ever strange, to which graft" has not
extended.
Il fear, my Lord" replied one of the
counsel, that graft Is merely the mod
ern expression of human instinct as
old as the race itself"
The case came before the Priyy
Council on appeal from the Chief Court
OF Lower Burma. The acting superin-
tendent and his assistant and the chief
clerk OF the kheddah department-the
principal business or which is the con-
quot OF organized hunts OF wild ele-
phants--were all three accused OF hav-
Ing padded" the pay rolls, commits
sary, etc, or a large elephant hunting
party. The government asserted that
there were only 292 hunters In the ex-
petition. The defendants, IL was al
legged, had cooked up the accounts SO
as to make 1t appear 34S men had TAX
en- part In the hunt.
After trial lasting almost three
months, and in which pretty much all
the expert elephant hunters In that
part of Burma testified on one side
or the other, the defendants were
found guilty. The charge was that
there had been a criminal breach OF
trust under section 400 of the Indian
Penal Code.
The defendants appealed to King
Emperor George, through the Privy
Council. which has decided that the
prisoners put up poor case on appeal
and must stand convicted.

specting class of men as have been
employed upon the vessels OF the as
ISOLATION during the past year.
Although the strike called by the
various marine unions In the spring
of 1909 has not been officially declared
of by the unions, its effect has not
been felt by our vessels during the
past season. There has been at no
time the slightest difficulty in fur
nishing competent and experienced
crews for the boats of the association,
with the possible exception of, that
period during the last two weeks OF
navigation, when upon a temporary
revival OF business IL was found at n
few Lake Erie ports that the men,
believing there would be no further
opportunity for employment on the
lakes, had gone to their homes, caus-
ing a slight embarrassment to the as
ISOLATION in remaining some of the
vessels which had been restored TO
service after considerable period in
ordinary. These vessels, however.
we're supplied without delay and none
were obliged to leave port short
handed.
"The progress of the welfare plan
during the past year, the second sea-
son OF its operation. has been most
satisfactory and encouraging, and has
demonstrated beyond doubt its great
benefit to the vessel owner.
The result of the prosecution OF
this work has been that in the year
just closed many men who desire to
make sailing a permanent business
have been drawn to the lakes to the
exclusion Of that undesirable class
who ship for trip or two rs a tenn

growing inclination to remain on the
ship during long periods OF service
has become manifest. In many in

WOMEN ALLEGE FRAUD;
TAKE TROUBLES TO POLICE

Eleven women, each armed with q
first-class imitation of a china plate
invaded police headquarters, Wednes-
day afternoon, TO complain about
what they termed the false represen-
tGtions of transfer institution In the
Naipey building. Two of the eleven
returned with their plates, Thursday
morning, and complained so bitterly
and SO insistently, that Mrs. NJ. A,
Porter, proprietress of the offending
institution, was requested to step over
to police headquarters and give her
ersion OF the matter.
Mrs. l.. V. Keller, No. 351 Fifth
ST.. and Mrs. j. Maruski, No. 493
Fourth-ave., two of the plate brigade,
say the institution volunteers to teach
tie gentle art of transferring plate
designs upon plates at So for six les
sons. There is a proviso that says the
concern will purchase plates from its
students after the transfers have been
successfully accomplished.
The women say that after the trans
fers were made, the company refused
to buy back the plates. They COM
plain that they are charged for the
transfers. The women say that every
time they bring a perfectly good plate
10 the place, they are told there is a
flaw in it.
Mrs. Porter Indignantly denied all
these accusations and further insists
that her business is a legitimate one.
The police say there is nothing they
can do about the matter.
