WILSON OVERSEES WORK
Gives Personal Attention to probl.,
of Aiding Citizens Marooned
in Europe.

Washington, Aug. 3-The Init.
States government yesterday exteudss
a helping hand to the thousands =.
Americans who are stranded abrosa
without means of chasing their chect.
or letters of credit owing to the hnan.
cial stringency produced by the Euro
pean war.
Besides forwarding hundreds OF te,s.
grams to Americans through diulo-
matte channels, orders were sent nv
the state department to all consulates
legations and embassies TO use eyerv
influence at their disposal to Obtain
money for citizens of the United
States.
Use Embassy Cheeks
All American diplomatic officers
were instructed to exchange letters OF
credit or travellers checks for "eu-
bassy checks" or certificates. These
are issued by the authority Of the
United States government, and Secre-
tary Bryan said last night he was con-
fident embassy checks" would be hon.
ored by railroads, steamship compan.
les and hotels abroad. Relatives and
friends of Americans in Europe can
deposit funds with the state depart.
ment in Washington and an equivalent
sum will be advanced in an embassy
check abroad. Americans devoid Of
funds will be given loans, Just as was
the case in Mexico.
Secretary Bryan expressed the view
that there were enough ships running
to care for Americans who desired to
leave, but said if any emergency arose
everything necessary would be done by
the American government to assist
them to return home.
Wilson Oversees Work
President Wilson gave his personal
to the problem of aiding citi-
zens of the United States. While the
state department was asking its rep
resentatives abroad to determine the
most practicable way of giving fnan-
cial assistance, the administration let
it be known that, if necessary, large
quantities of gold would be shipped to
American embassies to cash checks for
It is not expected, how
ever, that such a contingency will
arise.
Mr. Bryan suggested that if Ameri-
IAN embassies ran short of funds with
which to cash travellers checks or let
ers of credit the American government
would have no difficulty in getting cur
ency direct from the foreign govern
nents.

Bound Over on Serious charge.-Ar-
rested on a charge of white slavery,
after the father of his intended vic
tim had followed him from Indianapo-
| lis to Davenport, Edward Gagnon was
! bound over in the court of United
States Commissioner a. G. Bush to
the federal grand jury for this dis
trict of Iowa in bonds of $500. Gag
non had little defense to make to the
charge lodged against him. The girl.
Clara Silbernagel, aged 81, had come
here with him on the promise that
they would marry. They were here
three weeks when the father, who had
| heard that they had come this way,
/ followed them. He swore out a war
rant against Gagnon and the latter
! was brought before the commissioner
TO answer to the charge of violating
the Mann act. When he appeared in
court IL developed in the evidence that
Gagnon was already a married man
and ran away from his wife. He had
paid the girl marked attentions in In
dianapolis and suggested that they
elope and marry. The romantic side
of II appealed to the girl and she
agreed to go with him. After they ar
rived in Davenport. it appears, Gag
non failed to take the necessary steps
to marry the girl. He secured apart
ments and, according to her story in
court. he had made advances toward
her, but she resented these. She. how
ever. did not leave him. She was sub
poenaed as a witness for the prosecu-
ton.

Santa re, March 1.-The attorney
generals office was notified today
that District Judge Granville A. Rich
ardson has oyerruled the demurrer Of
the state in the tax case Of the First
National ana other banks at Roswell

county.
The principal legal point raised by
the attorney general was that the
suit had been premaiurely brought
ana would not lie until the objection

the assessors and collectors books
and the collection of the tax COM
planned Of as erroneous, had been
sought The banks had made their re-
turns on a Is per cent basis on their
capital, surplus and undivided profits,
maintaining that other property was
being returned on that basis. The
state board of equalization ordered a
80 per cent return and tine banks en-
joined the assessor from extending
the assessment on the books.
The district attorney took the view
that the banks We're correct in their
position ana therefore the attorney
general represented the state in the
case. lie win now appeal TO the state

same parties, which also had been
pending has been dismissed.

COURT DECIDES
CRIMINAL CASE
OF IMPORTANCE
In Overriding Demurrer, JUDGE
Mechem Decides That De-
PENDANT Can Be Indicted for
Crime Not on Statute Books.

ton cf criminal law of far-reacbino
Importance was decided by Judge NJ
G. Mechem during the recent term u,
court IN Sierra county when the AL
murrer filed By defendant charrnd
with adultery in The indictmeni
brought against him was ovcrruled
In the argument on the demurrer
10 developed that there was no Am
against adultery on the statute books
of New Mexico, but it was argued N
behalf Of the state that the offepsa
WAS punishable under the canon law
which had been embodied into M
common law at the time OF the revo-
luton In unfolding this contention
Judge Mcchem said.
\ cannot see why II the courts Of
cur state have inherited tho civil iurs.
.dlction of the English ecclesiastical
courts, they should not also have In
herito1 the criminal jurisdiction or
the same courts Certainly adultery
ought 70 be a crime Certainly h
ought 20 be punished Ii Is OF course
true that some crimes have become
obsolete even though thcy We're M
existence az the time OF the revolution
But the crime of adultery instead of
becoming obsolete is being moro
widely recognized as a crime as time
passes and society becomes moro
moral By the decision OF our su
preme court it Is held that common
law offenses We're adopted By our
statute which provides that the COM
mon law as recognized i'm the United
States shall be the rule of practice and
decision In our courts by former de-
cisions the same court has ruled the
civil jurisdiction Of the ecclesiastical
courts as suited 10 our form of gov
ernment, Is lodged i'm our courts of
ehanoery IL would seem that the
term the common law, must be con-
strned TO mean the great body Of the
law of England by whatever court ad-
ministcred whether by the law

Ia force al The revolution and is suited
10 our form Of government institutions
