The Trial of Warren Hastings
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

was triumphantly acquitted of the
high crimes and misdemeanors'
of which, seven years before,
Burke had. in such dramatic
fashion. accused him in the su-
gust name of the Commons of
England.
Long ago as all this was, its
moral is still fresh and pertinent.
Warren Hastings was the very
ACCOMPLISHED and most capable
tool of a system of exploitation
that is still by no means extinct
among men. Hastings was at one
ana the same time innocent and
guilty. He was, in word. just
as innocent and just as guilty as
the Government that put him ON
trial.
If that Government had the
maal right to he in India. then
Hastings was entitled to claim
that he was innocent of any
charge OF crime. since he was
simply the Governments agent in
carrying out its Indian program
The worst that can be said of
Hastings is that in a most mas
terly way he played the great
game according to the rules Of the
day-and II would have been
piece OF rank injustice to have
punished MIN for dolns the very
Things he was ordered and eX
pcctcd 10 du.

A.-Specific speeds of suns in
space, flying in every possible di
rection, are found by means of
telescope observation and meas
urement of their proper motions.
First, find their distances from
the earth. and then, with preci-
sion, measure how many seconds
of arc they move per year. Then
their velocity can be computed
in miles.
But suppose that a flying sun
is coming on an exact line to-
ward the earth or receding on
true straight line. Then the tele-
scope alone can not see any mo-
ton at all. But one of the chief
discoveries of all ages is the tele-
Spectroscope. To even think of
the power of this delicate instru-
ment makes one wish TO write the

 sunset, of course as proof of their angling skill.

UNCUT .IIIMBER.
Will Escape Income Tax and as
a Result Forestry Will Be
Much Stimulated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. .21.-Foreste
and Iumbermen see in decision of
the treasury department in regard to
the administration of the income tax
q strong argument for forestry. As
they interpret the opinion of the treas
ury officials they understand that no
timber lands shall. be subject to the
tax until the timber is cut and market
ed and that then the profit only will
be subject to an income tax assess
ment. In other words, all costs will be
deducted before the tax is levied, and
these will cover the cost of growing
the timber, including the cost OF plant
ing where necessary and of protecting
the growing crop from fire and other
depreciation.
This decision was based upon re
quest for Information made by T. 3
Ridsdale, secretary of the American
forestry association. He asked Il
there would be tax on the value OF
| the yearly growth of timber whether
| it was cut or not, and also whether
an income tax would be assessed or
| the value of the timberland. In re
ply. the treasury department. said that
s'the gain from the cutting and dis
posal Of stumpage is realized in the
wear during which the timber is cut
| and disposed Of, and that the amount
received in excess of the cost of such
| timber is profit, and should be SO ac-
counted for as income for that year.

Story about Christopher Now
Seriously Doubted as He
Shows No Symptoms

RAIRaIocST, Jan. william r.
iChrfstnpher who Is in hospital
here awaiting the results OF poison
which he is,'belisved to have swal-
lowed on a traia cut of Clarkburg
Sunday night, so far shows no pro-
nounced symptoms of its etfeet, and
except for a condition OF physical
weakness and nervousness. which
might ne attributed to a lack OF nu-
triton and the contemplation of his
predieamsnt, is in normal conui-
ton. If Christopher swallowed pois-
on his system absorbed a consider
able quantity Of it, he, as yet, shows
no signs Of It.
The theory that Christopher had
not swallowed poison, and that his
statement was merely a ruse to gain
time for him, with other ends proba-
bly, in view, received some credence
here today, but ds not seriously re-
ceiVed by those who have been IN
close touch with physicians in at
tendance. Deputy Sheriff Lanham,
OF Ranawha county, who came mere
with Christopher, was skeptical ABOUT
the poison story, and was inclined to-
believe that his prisoner had not
taken poison at all. In this connec-
ton it is pointed out that 1t is easy
to believe what one wants to believe,
and the officer was loath to admit
THAI Christopher had had an oppor-
tunity to end his existence while In
his keeping.
The patient Is receiving every att
IGNITION possible, and all steps are be-
ing taken to prevent fatal results,
The physicians assuming that he has
swallowed poison and acting accordTI
,ngly.
christopher will be sent to Nor
gantown as soon as it appears that
he is not in danger of death, the Ma
rior county authorities having taken
