DESCRIBES BULL FIGHT
AS BRUTAL AND INHUMAN
Sergt. Davis, Stationed In Vera Cruz,
Also Mentions Perils Of Tree
Climbing.

Went to a bull fight yesterday after
noon and if the good Lord will forgive
me I'll never go to another one" is
the assertion of Sergt. Nelson P. Davis
Of Company B, 4th United States Infantry,
stationed at Vera Cruz, in a letter de-
scribing an exhibition of the Mexican
national pastime. just received by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Davis Of
1858 Perry street, Brookland
'Of all the brutal, inhuman treatment
a poor dumb animal was ever subjected
to that is the worst. The banderillas
run around and stick the poor bull full
Of little barbed spears. These flop up and
down as the bull tries to get away
from the men and nearly torment him
to death, causing the animal at the
same time to lose quite lot Of blood.
Matador Appears.
by the time the bull has about six
Of these barbs in him and is about
worn out chasing red cloaks, the mat
ador comes in. He is supposed to be the
cock-of-the-walk. They had four different
ones yesterday. an old man and three
young men. The old man made fizzle
out Of his part of it. He got in front
Of the bull and struck him seven times
with his sword before he killed him. The
rest only had to make one jab to kill
an animal"

FILES DISSENTING OPINION
IN MASTERS-KINNEAR CASE
Chief Justice Shepard Of District
Supreme Court Of Appeals Gives
Minority Reasons.

Chief Justice Shepard of the District
Court of Appeals has filed his dissenting
opinion in the case of Samuel ]. Masters
and John B. Kinnear. convicted last June
in Criminal Court No. ] before Justice
Stafford of. embezzlement. Justice Van
Orsdel recently rendered the majority
opinion of the court reversing the judg-
ment of the lower court, setting aside the
conviction and fine Of 5000 against the
two men and directing new trial.
The accused were. respectively. chief
workman and chief scribe Of the Modern
Workmen Of the World, and were charged
with appropriating commissions and
bonuses received from loans made with
the funds of the organization. Justice
Stafford held such appropriation to con-
stitute embezzlement under section 1874 of
the code.
In reversing the judgment Justice
Van Orsdel held that not merely con-
version was necessary. but that the
government must show wrongful con-
version and guilty intent.
Defines Wrongful Conversion.
Chief Justice Shepard, in dissenting
from the views of his associates, says
That there was a conversion of the
corporation money anu "Eou6AuA
conversion there can be no doubt. The
word wrongful used in the statute
must be given it's ordinary meaning.
Wrongful means an invasion of right
to the damage OF the party who SUI
fers It,
1T consists in the injury done and
not commonly in the purpose or men
tai or physical capacity of the person
or agent doing it. 1t may or may not
have been done with bad motives. The
question of motive is usually ques-
ton of aggravation only.
Principle Involved.
THE principle is that where statute
prohibits an act under certain circum-
stances and a person commits the act
not under a mistake of fact. a criminal
intent is conclusively presumed. Every
one is bound to know that an officer
or an agent of another can not law
fully profit by his agency. much less
or an agent of another cannot law
of fund intrusted to him for special
purpose. 1t is clearly wrongful to do
so.
In my opinion, the section of the
code was intended to make this wrong
full act crime. All that was neces-
sary to the commission of the crime
Of the defendants show that they wrong
fully converted this money. and thereby
committed the crime of which they were
convicted. They should pay the
penalty: The judgment ought to be af-
f1rmed"
The chief justice also fails to agree
with his associates that the charge of
Justice Stafford to the jury was err
roneous. or that 1t violated the right
of the defendants to trial by jury.

Denies Profit in Scheme.

Mr. Clemence denies that If the plan is
adopted and the company's alleged profit
on the Southern building eliminated, It
would have a cash surplus Of 100000. He
declares the fact to be that the company
would not only have no surplus what
ever. but its capital will be impaired

The interest of the company in the
Southern building, says Mr. Clemence
IN his petition. is an alleged equity
OF S2s0,000 subject to liens approxi-
mating s1,3o0.000. many of which ma
ture in less than one year. He ex-
presses the fear that a partition suit
or sale under the third mortgage
bonds would find the insurance COM
pany unable to protect its interest and
might sweep away its entire equity"
ShouId this contingency happen. he
tells the court, the company would be
left without surplus, and it's capital
