FINE POINT LAW RAISED
IN ATTEMPTED MURDER

VIENNA, July 1s.-A fine point in law
has been raised here as TO whether a per-
son can be convicted Of attempted muir
der when blank cartridges have been fired
in the belief they had bullets.
The case is that OF young woman who
bought a pistol from a dealer who pru-
IDENTIFY charged 1t with blank cartridges.
The girl then shot at her lover without
doing him the slightest harm. On ar
rest she admitted her intention to murder
the man, but her lawyers have now
raised the point that a person can not
be convicted Of shooting with intent 10

the intention. This viewpoint is now the
subject OF ingenious argument on both

Notorious Vibrations
Threatening Ancient
London Landmarks

LONDON, July 1S.-The effect OF motor
bus vibration, which threatens the safety
OF such giant landmarks as ST. Paul.
cathedral. Westminster abbey and the
clock tower of the House of Commons,
is being made the subject OF careful tests
by the National Physical laboratory.
Investigators have learned through deli
cate instruments placed in these buildings
that the amount of vibration is largely n
matter of speed Of the buses. When
three buses were driven past the cathe-
dral at six miles an hour no disturbance
was recorded But at twelve miles an
hour the vibration was marked. Both
verticle and horizontal movements were
noted.
Plans for a system OF steel supports
have already been found necessary for

Prince of Wales Finds
His School Exploits
Closely Scrutinized

LONDON, July 1s.-The prince OF
Wales, who has just completed two years
at Oxford, is finding his exploits in that
institution of learning under critical re-
view in the newspapers. An undergrad
uate. who has had an opportunity to see
much of this future king of England,
notes his Impressions in a seemingly
frank manner.
Viewed impartally," he says ''the
princes career has been neither better
nor worse that that of the average titled
undergraduate He has embarked on
many Of the manly sports of youth and
excelled in none. Perhaps the best COM
ment on his good spirit and his lack OF
side was the fact that he played consis-
tently at association foot ball with the
Magdelen college second eleven.
For long time he was the despair OF
his equerry, but, as a concession to pop
ular opinion, expressed and unexpressed
he has acquired some skill in the sad
die, and with 1t some of the standing
that falls to hunting men at oxford.
That the prince should take an equal
footing with all in undergraduate life
was, of course, an innovation attended
as one might expect, by advantages and
drawbacks. The curious interest with
which he was pestered in his early weeks
soon wore Off. but the natural desire to
be intimately associated with a prince so
easy Of access was harder to kill.
''Magdelen second eleven last season
proved far more attractive to many men
than the college senior team. Little OF
no concession has been made to his roy
atty. 1 saw him the other day waiting
at the door OF one OF the leading doctors
in oxford. On the other hand, he has
had freedom aid ease which he will
never again enjoy; he has mixed unosten-
tatiously with people Of all ranks; he
has endured bravely and well the dis
comforts of camp life as a private; and
he has been treated with a quiet, we'll
bred respect by every member OF the uni
versity."
The prince has rather startled his uni
versity companions lately by taking 10
the pipe and giving up, for the moment,
the cigarette. picture OF him with the
oxford officers training corps shows the
prince putting at a great bulldog pipe,
and apparently enjoying II, The next

Said Bishop STUNT:
I'm the beginning about all we could
do was to carry on the schools We
found that the people wanted to learn
Ersdsh. and the Rev. William Taylor
opened a chain of schools all along the
west coast from Guayaquil, in Ecuador,
to Conception in Chile. At one time we
had sixteen schools and all Of these were
supported by the tuitions received. OF
late the governments have been more in
terested in education and the schools
have been cut down TO ten.
"In Bolivia the interest of the govern
