Morris Meyer, a New York attorney, was
also indicted, but the charge against
the two witnesses was dropped some time
ago.
Short says Patrick was innocent, and
that his conviction and Imprisonment
was a blot on American justice. He, de-

may add to my note about the old
warehouse in Criticized Friars, which is
about to be demolished, a word about the
curious merchandise it contains. Buyers
from all Europe meet on its wide floors
to finger samples of queer merchandise
gathered from distant seas and tropical
forests. 1t is the market for mother-of-
pearl and boxes of strange sea shells
that would perhaps puzzle a conchologist

All the tortoise shell that comes into
the English market from Zanzibar, Hon.

cided whether it is from the tortoise or

80 shillings a pound or 6 Cfor that Is
the range Of values), and whether it can
be initiated in celluloid or not. Stranger
still are the rare products used in the
drug trade-bales of sarsaparilla root
from the Matto Crosse hinterlands Of
Brazil, rhubarb from Canton or Shensi.
Some of the rare gums stored in the
warehouses carry the mind to primitive
lands and habits. Gum benjamin. for
instance, arrives packed in monkey
skins from tropical uplands where pack
ing material does not exist, and aloes
come to US from the East in old kerosene
tins for want of anything better TO pack
them in. Not much space is required
nowadays for the tins of vanilla, the
product of an orchard which has almost
been ousted from the market by the
synthetic production. And all the am
bergris in the warehouse at present is
contained in one small tin valued at so
to 80 shillings an ounce. Its story is
perhaps the most curious of all the
strange products lying at Criticized
Friars. The sperm whale eats the cutie
fish, and the cutie fish has a beak which
the whale cannot digest. The beak sets
up a swelling inside the whale which is
ultimately vomited in the shape of ball

ANT|-TH|RD TERM
FIGHT CONTINUES
Henry W. Blair Writes to Presi-
dent-elect Wilson for CO.
operation.
CONSTITUTION SHOULD
BE AMENDED NOW
Suggests Wording: "The Law and
Customs from the Be.
ginning"

An open letter to President-elect Will
son, asking him to give his early atten-
ton to the proposed amendment to the
Constitution to prohibit any man from
holding the Presidency for more than
two terms was made public yesterday by
its writer, Henry w. Blair. president of
the National Anti-third Term League
With the letter, Mr.. Blair gave an in
terview in which he declared that "the
recent audacious attempt to increase the
term of executive power should alarm
the whole country '"The fact that ex-
traneous clamor largely influenced them
does not lessen the danger, for there will
always be clamor in a Presidential cleo
tion.'
In his letter TO President-elect Wilson,
Mr.. Blair stated:
There can be no doubt that the Amer
lean people will amend their Constitution
so as to preclude eligibility to the Presi-
dency for more than eight years.
THE third-term people will probably
long debate any single term In Congress,
and forever in the Legislatures, and
would thus defeat all action. It would be
almost complete victory for them to
secure the submission of a four or six
year joint resolution to the people.
This is the unfinished business in the
senate and the issue must be met now.
Senator Williams has submitted an
amendment to the resolution as now
pending in the Senate. which is in sub
stance, / think, what we pray for in the
inclosed memorial, which memorial is
nOnpartisan, and to each clause of which
l beg your careful personal attention.
The time is very short. This is likely to
be the great issue in 1916"
Mr.. Blair advocates an amendment to
the Constitution which will write into
the fundamental law ''the law and GUS
tom from the beginning" The people,
he declares. will prefer such a provision
to the establishment of one term of four
or six or eight years.
''Since the election the National Anti
Third Term League is just a voluntary
association without distinction of party
or sex, sustained By voluntary contribu-
tions, which is unalterably opposed to
the extension of the Presidential term
to more than two terms of four years
EACH" Mr.. Blair said.
"a single term of less than eight
years would at least prevent a third
term, and some of our members would
prefer a single six-year term if it could
be ratified"
