Under Grace Suspicion.

Secretary Lansing is understood TO
have given consideration to the at
tempt to supply German warships
with coal, provisions and ammunition,
as although on absolute proof Of tic
completely Of either of the men in
the passport frauds reached the state
department, a mass OF testimony arose
, to place them under the gravest sus-
picion. The Stelgcr passport case,
false aflidavits which were made in
such matters and the sending Of re-
ports to Austria Hungcry by James
f. j. Archibald, an American citi-
zen, all were among the matters taken
into account by the department.
Mr.. Lansing has stated that the
evidence in the Hamburg American
conspiracy trial in New York did not
prove to the satisfaction of the de-
partment that Boy Ed had violated
the neutrality laws, or that he had
done anything which at the time of
commission was in violation of the
federal statutes. In fact, when the
effort was made to supply the Ger
man fleet in North and South Atlantic
waters was made there was no law on
the statute books which permitted
prosecution for that action. 1t was
only after the German fleet had been
driven from American waters and the
activities Of the Hamburg American
line had ceased that congress during
the closing days OF the last session
and at the urgent request Of the
president passed the act which makes
such proceedings unlawful.
1t was understood tonight that
while in the case in New York nothing
actually had been proved against
| Capt. Boy-Ed, in view of the attention
attracted by the case officials review
ed his record and determined that
now was a good time to get both
Capt. BoyEd and Capt. Won Papen
out Of the United States. The state
department does not have to have le-
gal evidence but can act, as it has
done in the cases OF the attaches, up
on the question Of obnoxious conduct.
The attaches need not have been gull

MEDICO-LEGAL SOCIETY
 SAYS SURGEON WAS RIGHT.

CHICAGO: The Medico-Legal So- ciety of America at it's Fall meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria last night passed resolutions indorsing the ac- ton of Dr. H. J. Haiselden, the Chi cago doctor, who refused to perform an operation to prolong the life of defective child. The resolution read:
 Resolved, That the Chicago phy- sician is to be commended for his hu- mane action in refusing to perform an operation to prolong the life of an imbecfle child"
 The society based it's action cn the ground that the physician was not taking human life but that his action was merely the result of his decision to withhold professional ac- tion in a case where he believed he was aiding society by withholding it.. The resolution was introduced by Os- car J. Smith, who said he believed if the child could have an instant of sanity and could speak it would ask for death rather than helpless fife.
 Secretary Clark Bell said there was nothing new in the problem, that in his fifty years of practicing law he had known of many cases when phy- sicians exercised their own discre- ton to the extent of taking life that did not have a promising begin ming.
 President T. D. Brothers said that it was an unwritten law that a phy- sician had right to exercise his own discretion in many cases of birth, and that Dr. Haiselden was to be con mended.

Old Man of the Mountain.

The title old Man of the Mountain
 was first applied to Hhssan Ben Sab bal, who founded d formidable dynas ty ill Syria A. D. l090. He was the prince or chief of sect of the Mo hammedans. Having been baniShed from his country. he took up his abode in Mount Lebanon and gathered round him d band of followers. who soon be came the terror alike of Christians. Jews and Turks. They paid the most implicit obedience to his commands and believed that if they sacrificed their lives for his sake they would be rewarded with the highest joys of paradise For POO years these "asS;ls sins as they called themselves. con tinued to be the terror of the country Whenever their chief. the "Old Man of the Mountain." considered himself injured he dispatched some of his as sassins secretly to murder the aggres- sor. This is the origin of our use of the word assassin for secret murderer
