BOON COMP ANIONS
HAVE REAL FIGHT
Rene COPPER and Cyriel Meade
lair Disagree and Brick
Bat Battle Results.

Rene COPPER and Cyriel Meadelair
were inseparable companions. They
chummed together, worked side by
side and were always seen in each
others company. Saturday evening
Rene and Cyriel made the rounds and
the trip resulted in a belated Thanks
giving spree. Rene, for the first time
in years differed with Cyriel on the
subject they were discussing and the
two companions clinched in a fistic
battle royal at Forty-fifth street and
Fifth avenue.
Rene evidently was not mauling his
companion fast enough with his fists,
so he seized ''doornick," commonly
known as a brick, and popped Cyriel
over the head with it, inflicting a pain
full bruise. Cyriel was arrested by
Officer Lloyd and his case was contin-
ued until tomorrow morning by Mag
istrate Smith. He is charged with as
sault and battery and was released
under bonds.

A conference was held today with
Gov. ]. F. A. Strong with reference
to future legislation affecting the

Governor Strong has reappointed

appointments were made in 1913 for
a period of one year each.

SATURDAY. APRIL II. 1914
FvssoNAL LIBERTY DECISION

A unanimous decision BY the Fed
eral Supreme court, rendered sever
al days since. deserves more atten-
ton than It has so far received Its
significance has hardly been realized
by the lay public
The decision very materially re-
stricts the conditions under which
prosecuting officials may seize letters
and other private documents OF per-
sons accused Of crime. The courts
opinion says that if recent practices
were upheld the constitutional guar
antees against unreasonable search
e and seizures might as well be
stricken from the organic law"
It was In 1904, in a famous gamb-
ling case, that the same high court
laid down the rule that when the
prosecution in a criminal case sub
mits letters, memoranda or other
private documents of the accused the
trial Judge cannot stop to question
the prosecutor as to how the evidence
was obtained, and cannot exclude
such evidence if relevant and ma
terial, no matter how it was OBJ
tanned; and that a verdict reached IN
the case on such evidence cannot be
n
reversed. This decision has caused
searches and seizures that had not
been deemed proper before, and
even able lawyers we're often at a
loss to reconcile the constitutional
guaranty with the interests Of jus
tice and the new practices of pros
ecutors.
Now the Supreme court says that
while its former ruling was strictly
correct, it has been misapplied.
While evidence cannot be excluded
at trials on the grouud of unreason-
able seizure, an accused person may
go into court before the trial and re-
cover papers improperly seized.
Thus he is able to protect his consti-
tutional rights. The papers re-
covered cannot be used against him,
even if copies should be made OF
them.
Not a few criminal cases are pend
ing-including the iron workers con-
spiracy case-in which the question
of search and seizure is involved.
This fact lends special interest To the
decision affecting fundamental rights
and individual privacy..Chicago

PASSOVER AND EASTER
Why Ii Il That They Do Not Always
Correspond

why ~ - lnAh snSy ~
Correspond
Since the events of holy week and
the resurrection took place during
the Jewish passover it seems strange
that the celebration in the syna-
gogues and in Christian churches
should not always be at the same
time. Some years the times COIN
eide. but they are often a week apart.
The explanation is that the Jewish
calendar, which dates from the Gre
alton of the world, is regulated by
the rabbis. Their system is based
on the lunar month, which is often
nearly two days shorter than the
month of the Christian calendar.
Corrections are made, but instead OF
q day such as is added in leap year 8
month is added, SO that some Jewish
years consist of Ii months. Al
Easter always falls on the first Sun
day following the full moor mex
after March 81. this additional
month in certain years causes a vari
alton between the passover and thu
Christian festival.

DEATH DUE TO POISON
Mrs. Able Cowins. Resident of Carson
For Years, Dies; Inquiry Starts

Mrs. Able Cowing died at the
Blackwell ranch on the outskirts of
Carson Wednesday and the symptoms
that accompanied her end have led to
the sending of the stomach to San
Francisco for analysis, as poisoning
is suspected. An osteopath named
Merrill and a Mrs. Clayton were
placed under surveillance immediate
ly after the death was reported, but
Merrill was exonerated later after
an extended inquiry by the coroner's
jury.
M. ]. Blackwell, for whom Mrs.
Cowing worked as housekeeper, told
the jury that he found her suffering
from violent cramps from which she
died and that he immediatelyreported
the facts. He said she told him medi-
cine had been given to her by DIR.

herself instead.
"She said," Blackwell testified,
that they told her if she gave me
the medicine they would tell her
where she could get all the money
she wanted and it would be all right,
as dead men tell no tales"
Mrs. Cowing was 81 years of age
and had lived at Carson City for 4C
years. Her only son recently died
at Tonopah, and since then up to a
month ago. she had lived at the poor
farm. Then she went to work for
Blackwell at $40 a month. Carson
authorities are working on the theory
that here is a connection between
the case and some recent "black
hand" letters received by residents
there, and they intimate that Mrs.

than administer poison to her en-
