MAY MEAN LAWSUITS.
Destruction of Records at Albany
Promises to Cause Legal Tangle.

NEW YORK, March 31.-The destruc-
ton of nearly go volumes Of Dutch and
English manuscripts in the state capitol
is likely to restul in numerous lawsuits
to determine the title to many Of the
streets in outlying sections Of New York
city.
The title in some Of these old roads was
vested in the abutting property owners.
while in other instances it was vested in
the various towns. Whenever q question
regarding the ownership OF the land in a
thoroughfare came up, it was necessary
to consult the records at Albany. which
covered the period from 1920 to 1871.
Most of this property is now being de-
yeloped fro suburban homes, and the de-
struction of the records will mean a
difficult legal tangle.

No 0vertureS for Peace

No overtures. preliminary to formal

nation obtainable contradicts such

Friends in Washington of the Diaz ad-

Justice Ashley NJ. Gould Of the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia an
nounced today his determination to adopt
the opinion OF Justice Wright declaring
unconstitutional the attempt by Congress
to pass special "anti-bucketing'' legisla-
ton.
Justice Gould said that he is in full
accord with the finding Of Justice Wright,
that the statute violates the liberty of
contract protected by the Constitution.
and that it attempts to penalize an in
nocent customer II the broker intends
that the transaction shall be ''bucketed.
Justice Gould has had under considera-
ton the demurrers filed by Price & Co.
of Baltimore to an indictment charging
William B. Price and eight others with
conspiracy, and another indictment with
conducting a bucket shop. Counsel for
these men did not attack the constitu-
tionality of the act, but rested their OBJ
lection to the indictments on the claim
that the bucket shop law was a local
statute only, and persons outside the Dis
trict could not be charged with conspir-
ing Ito commit an offense against the
United States. They urged that the Of
fense. II any, was against the District
Of Columbia.

The belief is expressed that such fndict-

the Court Of Appeals, the court Of last re-

decided against the bucket shops.

Syrian Peasant Superstition.

A law suit for libel brought by ar

young peasant reveals an extraor
binary superstition prevalent among
the country people. The believe that
apothecaries and doctors have the
right to kill at least one man and ono
woman every year in order TO make
medicines out OF their bodies.
An accidental movement OF the
apothecary at Pollau. Herr Kobermau'
ser, when giving medicine to a boy
named Putt led the latter to believe
he was going to be killed. He ran
away but got such a fright that he
fell i'll. The inhabitants believed his
story and boycotted the apothecary
who was at length compelled to prose
cute. Putt was sentenced to fourteen
days Imprisonment. but his parents
who had spread the story, were
acquitted Oh the ground that they had
acted in good faith.

THEATER IN PAPAL PALACE.

The palace of the popes at
Avignon is known TO ali the world.
For long time it was used as bar
racks, and thereby suffered very con-
siderably by alterations and con-
structions. Much of the interior dec
grafton was damaged in putting up
partitions, etc. Then a better state
of things arose. The French govern
ment had the place restored, and this
was done with discretion, and TIE
building was placed in the custody
of the municipality Of Avignon. The
civic fathers seem to wish to turn
their trusteeship to account, and ii
seems that they are in negotiation
with theatrical manager to have
performances in the historic build
ing. When weather permits the rep
reservations will be given in the
grounds, but in inclement seasons
the halls are to be used for enter
tainments.
