Courts.

PARIS. May o. 1912
The heirs Of Mile. Pascal have taken
legal action against the gunsmith who
sold to Nine. Pascal the revolver with
which she killed her husband and the
latter's aunt They ask one franc
damages for themselves and $4,000
for the daughter of Jules Pascal
The arguments developed in the sum-
mons are of particular interest in these
days OF the indiscriminate sale Of auto
matte pistols. 1t is set forth that al
though the law allows considerable lati-
tude to armorers. it does not relieve them
Of all responsibility. Had the gunsnlith
taken the slightest precaution he would
have ascertained that Nine Pascal was
not N a normal frame Of mind. and so
would have prevented an act which has
de- prived child OF its father. He could
easily have obtained information through
a policeman or even through the tele-
phone, and In neglecting to do this he has
been the cause of two deaths.
He has infringed one clause of the penal
code, and has incurred responsibility.
when on the other hand he might have
questioned the little girl who was with
her mother In the shop. might have
ascertained Nine. PascaTs real addre SIS.
and might have learned whether her hus-
hand had authorized the purchase Of the
revolver. which had evidently nothing to
do with the ordinary requirement OF the
household
This Is obviously an important test
case. II gunsmiths be held pecuniarily
liable for the crimes passionels'' COM
mitted with weapons sold by them. muir
ders Of sentiment may become less cheap.

MUST REACH TWENTY-FIVE.
London Club Places That Age for
Its Female Members.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. June 2, 1919
It has been noticed that the commit.
tee Of the new club called the NO
bodies" has decided to restrict the
membership OF women to those who
have passed the age Of twenty-five.
whereas men are admitted at twenty
one. The reason is that women under
twenty-five cannot, in the opinion Of
the committee. be held to have ar
rived at the years Of discretion, and
that the club cannot accept any re-
sponsibility for them or for their ac.
ton prior to that age.
The proposal. which was unanimously
agreed to by the committee. was
brought forward and strongly recon-
mended by the women Of that BODY.
who considered that In a mixed or.
ganization of this kind. with a serious
aim and object. no one could be ad !.
mitted who might not be old enough
to realize her responsibilities toward
herself and her w-members.
II Is also noteworthy that in most
bills for comforting the suffrage on
women twenty five is usually rera I'd :
ed as their coming OF age, SO Far A
discretion Is concerned.

WAS GREATEST MEET
Ever Held in History of Inter-
collegiate Athletics.
WELL ROUNDED TEAM WON
Penn, With Best All-Around Squad,
Won From Cornell, With
Its Stars.
WELL ROUNDED TEAM WON
BY EDWARD r. BUSHNELL.

Although there have been previous
meets in the history of the Intercol-
legiate Athletic Associat on at which
a greater number of records have been
broken, intercollegiate history does
not record a more sensational meet
than that Of last week which was won
by the University of Pennsylvania.
The breaking Of five records, one of
which was new world mark, is evil
dence enough Of the high standard of
the performances. With the exception
Of the 1o0-yard dash and the running
high jump, 1t required real champions
to score winning performances. The
100-yard dash was won in 10 is sec
onds. a mediocre performance. while
Burdick Of Pennsylvania won the .igh
jump with a leap of s feet Y inch.
In every other event the winning per-
formances were Of the very highest
type. and In addition nearly all Of
these records were made necessary by
the competition.
The sensational turn to the meet was
given by the effort Of Cornell to win
by the doubling up of her distance run
ners in the mile and two-mile runs. II
was one of the most daring things
ever seen in an intercollegiate cham
pionship and probably escaped the no.
tice OF a good many experts. AT least
not very many persons realized how
near Cornell came to winning or what
the Ithacans would have done had they
been able to accomplish a feat hither-
to impossible by scoring eighteen points
with two men in three races. This at
tempt was made with Jones and Berna
undoubtedly the two best middle and
long distance runners in the United
States.

TOXIC. May 8. 1912.
The Shimbashi quarter Of Toxic.
where live the most beautiful and
popular geishas has been plunged into
mourning. Massage, whose attempt
to commit suicide for love OF
the actor Matagiro. died in the hos
pltal from the after effects of a dose
of cyanide Of potassium. She had been
reported as having completely recov-
cred, and had returned to what she
described as her "monotonous occupa-
tion," but a short time ago she de-
veloped an incurable internal disease.
and expired, surrounded by a number
of her sister geishas. Just before her
death. when she realized that the end
was near, she dispatched a messenger
post haste to fetch her actor-lover,
that with her dying breath she might
convey to him what the Toxic Asahl
resentments." He arrived a few mo-
ments too late.
Actor Lover Is Present.
The optsuya. which is the equivalent
OF the wake, was held at the geisha
house where the deceased had been a
resident, and among those present
were Matagiro. the actor lover. and
the elite Of the theatrical and geisha
worlds. Those assembled played games
Of poetry cards." and the geishas
present sang in chorus the favorite
songs Of Masayo the men present &C
companying them with a clashing of
cymbals. providing sweet music by
the beating OF sake bottles against the
tea kettles" says Asahi.
The climax came with an attempt at
suicide by Tsuchiyu. a geisha sixteen
years old. who had been a great favor
lite and friend of the dead Massage. On
being questioned as to the cause of
her act. 1t was learned that after her
friends attempted suicide she had
tasted and prayed for two weeks be-
fore Buddha. and on learning of her
friends death that morning she had
made an attempt at suicide by throw
ing herself on the railway line. For
tunately a policeman had interferred,
and on this. the second attempt. those
present luckily prevented her from
stabbing herself on the coffin of
MaSayo.
