"Robbina Peter 90 Pay PauI.n

That proverb "robbing Peter to pay
Paul arose from the way in which
the dean of Westminster was treated
at the time of the reformation. AS
abbot he had been an independent
dignitary, but as dean he was placed
under the authority of a specially Gre
ated bishop of Westminster. This di-
ocese after existing for ten years was
merged in the see of London, and
many Of the domains of St. Peters
abbey passed into the hands of the
chapter of st. Paul's cathedral, thus
giving rise to the now familiar saying
at was by q hard struggle" writes
Dean Stanley, that the abbey was
saved in those tempestuous times. Its
dependency of the priory of st. Mar
tins lie Grand was torn to pieces, and
its outlying domains to the east Of
Westminster were, 1t is said, sacrificed
To the Protector Somerset to induce

KILLED IN A WRECK

WAYNE, INDIANA.
FIVE COACHES IN THE DITCH

Rails Both Locomotives of Nine-Car
Train Sideswipe a Freight Engine.

Fort Wayne, Ind.-Two people were
killed, two were reported missing and
thirty were injured at the western linn
its of this city in the second wreck
within a week of the Pennsylvania
railroads Chicago-New York eighteen
hour train. Pulled at top speed by two
locomotives, the heavy train ran into
a temporary switch that was too weak
to stand the terrific strain. The rails
of the switch were swept aside, the
engines of the flyer careened crafty
and sideswiped the engine of a freight
train on a sidetrack. Engines and
passenger coaches a second later were
piled on their sides.
In the panic of passengers which
followed the piling up of the fast train
men fought women in their frenzy to
escape, and scores were trampled and
beaten.
Patrick Malone, the veteran en-
gineer of the flyer, was found in a
fainting condition several rods from
the wreck. One leg hung by a mere
thread and he was otherwise bruised
and cut. Although it was necessary to
remove both legs and an arm, the sur
geons say he may recover Dragged
from the engine at the crash, he was
pinned under the wreckage and the
steam from the engine completely
blinded him. Summoning all his
strength he managed to crawl away.

KIDNAPPING HIT
CONGRESS URGED TO CHECK
HASTY EXTRACTION.
Senate Special Committee Files Re-
port Apparently Based on Hay
wood and Mcnamara Cases.

Washington.-The process Of legal
Kidnapping" as in the labor cases of
Meyer, Haywood and Mcnamara, was
condemned in a report presented by
the senate select committee appointed
to investigate the third degree methods
of the police authorities of the United
States. Senator Borah presented the
report on behalf of the committee.
The committee said the practice OF
hurrying accused men from one state
to another without giving them an op-
portunity to be heard should be pre-
vented by prohibiting e%xtradition un
til after a lapse of a certain number
of days or by some other effective
plan.
The only other recommendation was
the cessation of Jury shadowing" by
the secret service men. The inquiry
did not extend to the police methods
of the state or cities, the committee
believing its Jurisdiction did not in
clude them.
The condemnation of jury shadow
ing was based upon the committees
discovery that in important cases the
department of justice authorized sur
veillance of jurymen to prevent their
being tempered with. The committee
in this final report condemned the
practice of the government, even
though 1t be by the defense, because
it is liable to great abuse"
The committees comment on 1rreg-
ular e%xtraditions evidently was based
on the course pursued in removing
Meyer and Haywood from Colorado to
Idaho on the charge of numbering
Governor St%eunenberg and in getting
Mcnamara from Indiana on the
charge Of destroying the Los Angeles
Times building, but neither instance
is specifically mentioned. They were
spoken of as cases in which mo op-
p%ortunity was offered to test the le-
gality of the proceedings or the juris-
diction of the court granting judy
ment."
