THE CADOGAN MURDER TRIAL CONSUMES WEEK


Cadogan was a freight conductor on
the B. & O. K. r., and many of his
fellow employees have interested them
selves in the case. Indeed this little

The Court reconVcned on Monday
night, when States Attorney spencer
made the opening statement for the
prosecution, wherein he stated that
Walter p. Cadogan, who was con-
ductor on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, had bee nmarried about 20
years. That for some years previous
TO the crime he had not been a good
husband, and only week before the
shooting he told his wife he would kill
her, On the afternoon Of July -, Mr..
Spencer said. Mrs. Cadogan was
standing near a booth her Il-year-old
son Walter was conducting for the
benefit Of the Fresh Air Fund, when
her husband came do"u the street.
She followed her husband into the
house, and a few minutes later she
stag gered out to the pavement with
two bullet wounds in her body and her
clothing atiHe: She fell dead On the
pavement in front of her home.
Cadogan ran through the house into
the back yard, climbed several fences
and made his way to HIghlandtown,
where he boarded train. He sur
rendered at the Grant Street Station
in New York, was brought back to
Baltimore, and is said to have CON
fessed to Detective Pohler, claiming
that he shot his wife by accident.
Mr.. SPENCE said the State would
show that the murder was premcdi-
tated and asked for q verdict Of mur-
der in the first degree. Counsel for
the defense reserved statement Dr.

KING AND KITCHENER ARE NOT THE FIRST
BRITISH PATRIOTS TO OPPOSE BARIEYCORN

of prohibition features, and express
their hostility to the drink trade in
terms like these: For REFRESHING the
odious and loathsome sin of drunken
ness" etc. Two bright spots in the
record are the years 1883 and 1896
81, when distillation was prohibited,
causing a much diminished consump-
ton of spirits ami a marked improve
ment in the condition of the people.
The ten measures passed for the en-
couragement of the traffic in liquors
either for the production of more reve-
nue., or because it has been deemed
that light liquors are the foes CT
stronger drink, have, without excep-
ton, proven unfortunate in their opera
ton. The most unfortunate act passed
by the British Parliament was put
through by the government of the
Duke of Wellington in 1880. This law
repealed the duty on beer and other
wise encouraged the consumption Of
malt liquors. No measure ever passed
by British Parliament was so pro-
life of disaster, and if the policy then
inaugurated had been followed out TO
the present day there is no reason
whatever to doubt that England would
be second-class power
1t now seems probable that England
will put the cap-sheaf upon her long
history of webbing by enacting absc-
lutte prohibition during the war, which
will mean eventually absolute prohibit
ton for all time.

that early period indicate the attitude
of the hostile element in the govern
ment toward the traffic. In the
eleventh year of the reign of Henry
VII. law was passed under the sig
nificant title, can Act Against Vaga-
bounds and Beggars." This act con-
tains the germ of the licensing system.
1t says in part:
"And it be lawful to ii (two) of the
Justices of the Peas peace, whereof
one shall be the quorum within their
auctorite to rejects and put awey
comen ale selling in townes and places
where they shall thinke convenyent,
and to take suretie of the keepers of
ale-houses of their code behaving by
the discretion of the seid Justices, and
in the same to be avysed and agreed
at the time of their sessions"
Fifty-seven years later this law was
extended into full-fledged licensing
measure, the preamble reading: For
asmuchee as intollerable hurtes and
trobles to the Comon Wealthe Of this
Realme, doth daylie grove and en-
crease throughe such abuses and dis
orders as are had and used in comon
alehouses and other houses called Tip
hinge houses"
The Wheel Turns.
Since that time British enactments
designed to restrict the trade have
gradually embraced such modern fea-
lures as partial Sunday closing, the
prohibition of the sale of liquor to
minors under certain circumstances
the forbidding of the payment of wages
of minors, near licensed drink shops,
and the limiting of hours in which Ii
quors can be sold. The various acts
since that time also embrace number

Queer History of Drink in England.
The first decided governmental dis
trust of the liquor traffic in Great
Britain was evidenced in the licensing
law of 1862 in the reign of Edward VI,
in which the position was taken that
liquor selling was an evil to be toler-
ated only where it was demanded by
the public. Since the beginning of the
seventeenth century, the British gov
eminent has passed fifty-nine measures
designed to curb, or partially prohibit
the liquor traffic, but the contrary i'm
pulse struggling within the government
tas expressed itself in ten distinct Lave
designed to encourage the liquor traffic,
either because of the assumption that
beer is a temperate agent, or because
of the need of the revenue.

King George, who has announced
that he is ready to forego liquors dur
ing the war, Lord Kitchener, Chancel-

John French, are not the only ones
who are convinced that prohibition is
essential to complete success in the

abolition Of the drink traffic as con-

prohibition in force, as a measure Of

Broadway, Los Angeles, is rapidly
becoming the motion picture Rialto of
America. To the old New Yorker
there is something reminiscent in the
sight of the leading men and women
of the film world strolling down this
thoroughfare of an evening, or stand
ing about in hotel Hobbies. Here, soon
er or later, one rubs elbows with every
man and woman seen on the screen,
and there's Mary Pickford," Or
there's Lillian Gish," and so on is a
rather familiar expression. The clubs
and social functions are also well pa
tronized by these members of the pro-
fession.
