become known on more than one occa-
sion but It remained for the last few
days to develop what happens when.
an ambassador loses his shirt
There are countries where ambassa-
dors don't wear shirts at least a.
shirts are understood here. Indeed,
there have been ENJOYS at Washington
who affected flowing robes. but that
was before the day when q million
pairs OF scissors got busy on some
zoo, 1000 Chinese queues. Shirts are
as necessary part Of an ambassa-
dorial wardrobe as Of that of the plain
est native. Almost every Indian
wears shirt nowadays until he joins
circus or comes to New York, when
ne must APPEAR In the traditional
blanket Of his forefathers. And all
the excellencies that are accredited to
this country affect this garment.
So it Is with that particular excel
lency who has lately been paying q
visit to New York, a habit that dur
Ing the present administration has
gained such vogue among the diplo-
matte corps. Among other things, this
ambassador sent to the hotel laundry
a shirt. It was one of several shirts,
and. according to the best information
obtainable, it was white shirt.
When the wash" came back the
shirt was not in It, or of it. It was
missing. The ambassador made q
complaint. An attempt was made to
trace the garment, but q frantic
search revealed nothing that looked
like it, except shirts that were estab-
lished as belonging to other persons.
The chambermaid. the valet, the por-
ter, and the employees of the laundry
were closely questioned. but none re-
membered having seen the article.
It was with deepest regret that the
management reported to the ambassa-
dor the result Of the inquiry. His ex-
cellency was wroth. He said he must
have damages: the shirt should not
have got lost. It was pure careless
ness, and the hotel must reimburse
him.
Wild notions as to the value Of q
shirt that was good enough to be used
by an ambassador fitted through the
mind Of the manager. He knew that
shirts cost a lot more In the United
States. as q rule, than In Europe, II
they are made to order, or II they
happen to be of superior material.
He knew of hotel clerks who wore
shirts that cost as much as SIS apiece,
and who would not think Of putting on
q cheaper garment. What would be
the price of shirts worn by an am
bassador?
AS he pondered, the ambassador
spoke.
THAT was q good shirt" he said.
land it was new. It would be only
right that I should be paid its full
va4ue."
"And what. may I ask" ventured
the manager timidly, "is the value
your excellency puts upon the gar.
ment?"
1T cost me-" said the ambassador.
"$1.85."
The shirt was promptly paid for
New York Times.

cate. He found that several questions
Of Federal law, unsettled by the Su-

for the appeal These were whether

IS returned against him in State
court; the effect OF the accused not

question WAS presented in n motion

ENTIRELY DIFFERENT
SITUATION PRESENTED
Justice Lamar, In Ii statement cx-
planning why he had granted the an
peal. said the application for the an
peal presented an entirely different sit
nation from the application for a writ
OK error, which he had declined TO
grant about month ago He cited
several constitutional questions which
were involved In the present appeal
which, he said, the Supreme Court had
never passed upon. For this reason.
he added, there was probable cause
for the appeal
Justice Lamar concluded his state
ment by explaining why he felt him
self called upon under the Federal act
OF 1908 governing appeals to the Su-
preme court in habeas corpus cases to
grant the appeal and issue a certificate
or probable cause
The Supreme Court Of the United
states has never determined" he said.
whether on trial for murder in n
state court the due process clause OF
the Federal Constitution guarantees the
defendant a right to be present when
the verdict is rendered

Nor has IL passed upon the effect

Such questions are all involved in
