trial. Governor Stuart yesterday after
noon refused to honor the requiSition
Of the Governor or illinois, which was
served on him recently.
Campo appeared before the Governor,
accompanied by his attorneys. MAI NJ:
Greene and Moe Levy. Of Norfolk, and
Leon Nelson. OF Richmond. The .ac;,
cused man declared that the criminal
proceedings instituted against him were
unwarranted. He said his accuser was
former business associate, and that
the. money involved was lost in trans
action that was entirely Legitimate.
Ills former partner, he said, swore out
the charge that he operated a conf
dencc game in the hope Of forcing him
to pay back the money legitimately
lost. =
Canpc's attorneys said that the Chi
cago case was one for the civil courts.
and argued that the prosecution was
brought in an attempt to collect q debt.
Governor stuart accepted the latter
theory, and sent Campo on his way re-
joicinS.

CONNECTICUT DEER.

For me past several years there has @@en a persistent agitation in behalf spe an open season for the deer, which umder the existing law are protected for two more years. Such opposition to the aiding in the further increase Df these animals has arisen because of The already large number throughout ,tho, state, and the great amount Of Appreciation which they do fcraging.
 That the agitation will be resumed R< the coming session of the general assembly Js probable. Those engaged In tilling the soil are the onss who su1e1 from the protection of the deer .becauge 1t IS from their crops to a Very large extent that the deer are .knmlntaineG and the greater tke mum Der the greater the harm they cause.
 As a support oR the contention that @EAe deer should be hunted during a &nited seasou at least is the argument &haf the quicker they are reduced fin
 Lumber the less barn they can do, and khS lgHs danger there will be connected Agaeh tine hunting of them. Just how &ruch of a menace they are as car Eier of the foot and mouth disease keunaine to be established, but as many lHk them are found herding with other ,kaztle, and as cloven footed animals gre susceptible thereto. they would ap- pear to be a free agency for the dis Nrfbution. of the distemper, not only Throughout a state, but through many mtsfes for such animals are no respect Mwg of state boundaries.

made in 1913, but which had been sup pressed and destroyed This proof was formally made and Q decree annulling the will of 1Sd1 was declared. It looked for O number of years as if the daughters hopes were shortly to be realized. That hope was disappointed, for in 1869 suit was commenced against Mrs Gaines in the Court of Probate of New Orleans by that city to revoke tho will of 1S13. and re-es- tablish the will of 1911. And the Fed eral Circuit Court in 1873 revoked this will in her favor. But that decision was reversed by the United States Court in 1876, and In April 1877 the will of 1S13 was agin probated.
 Before the case was definitely closed and ere that woman of indomitable will had realized the material fruits of repeated victories, her tireless eptrit was arrested in it's course. A judg- ment of nearly $2.o00.00o had been rendered in favor of Mrs. Gaines In the United States Circuit Court of Louisiana against the city of New Or- leans in May, 1883. Over six years later the judgment was reduced to something less than $e09,000. Mrs. Gaines died on Jan. g. 1885. while on

This idea for making the Echool children familiar with the exits ep case an emergency arose, when they Bhould be used quickly and orderly Followed a demonstration of the Heed of just such protection Recording to the report of the Tenement house commissioner in New York city a similar condition Exists there and be bases his state Nnent upon an investigation made of Mres in such. buildings in that city. Thfg revealed that not only were the buildings, wherein there was loss of Wfe, equipped with fire escapes accord A1g fe the demands of the law, but that the occupants failed to use them because of the panic CT ignorance of the tenants.
 That the law has done all that was possible for such people where means of escape were provided and not used seems apparent. and yet even in large Institutions other than schools the ne- cessiry of a fire drill is felt and put in operation from time to time. Meas Mres for safety and for protection to fife amount to little unless they are taken advantage of. The location and use of such advantages being found advisable in schools and factories fl would rot appear to be a needless in- stitution if the fire drill was applied to tenexnerf houses, and this is par ttcufarle ,4rue if the tenants are large. 1y fot%sgaars and know little about American fdeas, even though since fire escapes are provided there ought to Rot interest enough among the household.

STATE CONTEMPORARIES.

Just at the present time the estab- Hshment of a state constahulary is being urged in the neighboring state. of New York and the idea has received the endorsement Of men of prominence who recognize the valuable service such a body could render. That the Empire state is in as much need of the aid which could thus be given to the better maintenance of law and or der appeals to the advocates of the idea, and certainly there is as much reason for 1t as there is in Massa- chusetts and Connecticut In Pennsyl- vania a. state constabulary of much efficiency has proved of great value, especially in the coal mining regions where strike conditions have had to be handled.
 There is unq1estionabiy a large amount of business for such an organ ization in extending to the rural com munities the means of striking at the evasion of laws which is poorly guard ed against without some such unbiased force. It has the authority and the means fore pursuit of criminals and lawbreakers not possessed by the small towns or even some of the cities, and being made up of trained men 1t is an active and powerful force for good.
 Whatever can be done in an effec- tive way for the Encouragement of crime and the carrying out Of the laws which are made to be observed deserves generous support. Even though others have in many cases the authority of the state constabulary the very fact that they have it and fail to exercise it IS one of the best reasons for the existence of such an active statewide body.
