Snuff and a Crook.

Robert Pinkerton once told a story
of his father. the founder Of the de-
tective agency. which illustrates the
elder Pinkerton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained in Pinkerton's
Chicago Office. The elder Pinkerton
left the room and when he returned
took the precaution Of holding re-
volver in front Of him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with a snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkertons desk in his hand.
This is good snuff" affably re-
marked the crook as he took sniff.
For the eyes or the nose?" asked
Pmkerton. who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an effort
to escape.

LAW OLD AND NEW.
A Cynical View of Past Methods and
Those of the Present.

A Cynical View of Past Methods and
Those of the Present.
Law. more especially criminal law,
has usually been an occult science. 1t
is still the practice in Burma, we be-
lieve, to give two disputants candles Of
the same size, to be lighted at the
same time. The one whose candle
burns longest gets judgment against
the other.
Less than 100 years ago defendant
in an Engli6h criminal trial appealed
to the ordeal Of battle, and the court
was more or less surprised to find that
the ancient law on which he relied had
never been repealed.
Determining a mans guilt or 1nno-
cence by his ability to walk on bot
plowshares or carry a hot iron or
drink poisonous decoction or by
throwing him bound into water has
been practiced for ages among many
peoples. The medieval method Of let
ting accused and accuser fight it out
with weapons was common over Eu-
rope.
Our modest ancestors confessed their
Inability to find the merits Of the
cause and so relegated the whole af-
fair to the intervention Of supernatural
agencies. The main difference IS that
we are less modest Instead Of the
ordeal of battle or the old key and 81

Must Offer Passengers
Full Chance to Escape
United States Note to Asutria Hungary Said to Make
Point That They Must Be Removed to Place of
Safety Before Liner is Torpedoed:

for the passengers and crew to aban-
dcn the steamer on board Of which
panic reigned, but only q small num-
bar of boats were lowered and these
were occupied principally by the crew.
A great number Of boats, probably suf-
icient to save all the passengers, re-
NAMED unoccupied.
"Aiter period of so minutes, and
as another steamer was approaching,
the submarine submerged and torpe-
doeG the Ancona, which sank after an
additional IS minutes"
Blamed the Crew,
The statements concluded with the
assertion that if any of the passengers
lost their lives it was the fault OF the
crew, because the steamer tried to es-
cape after receiving orders to stop
and then the crew saved themselvec
and not the passengers.
This statement was accepted here as
an admission that many passengers
were aboard when the Ancona received
he'd death blow. Much evidence along
this line has been obtained in deposl-
tions obtained by consular agents from
American citizens. One of these depo-
sitions states positively that the more
seriously injured passengers were left
aboard at the last moment to be car
ried down with the ship.
While the United States has insisted
heretofore that vessels carrying nom
combatants should not be sunk with
out warning, this is the first case
which, it is said, has developed the
view of the government as to what
time is considered ample for the pur-
pose of removing passengers, beyond
the general statement that all passen-
gers should be given a place Of safety,
as provided in the declaration Of Lon
don.
The position Of the United States is
understood to be that while no specific
time can be settled upon which would
be applicable in all cases, it is evident
sufficient time was not allowed in this
instance. The Ancona is considered
an extreme case, it being admitted by
all sources of information that panic
prevailed aboard the ship.

Flexibility of English.

English is not only, as Richard JEFF
ferries asserted, the most expressive
and flexible Of tongues, but also, in
Swinburne's opinion, the most musical.
He proclaimed the lines
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes
to be unmatched for melody in any
language. And few would venture to
contradict such a master Of music and
tongues. But surely French ranks next
on the roll Of languages. For clearness
of dicticp it is unrivaled, and, thanks
to it's abundance Of yowels (close on
one for every consonant), it flows
rhythmically from the tongue.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The note which
the United States has sent to Austria
on the sinking of the Italian liner An
coma was based, it was learned tonight,
primarily upon the virtual admission
of the Austria-Hungarian admiralty In
it's official statement that the ship was
torpedoed before all the passengers
had been removed to a place Of safety
1t also was stated that the position OF
the United States as outlined in it's
communication asking reparation for
American. lives lost and assurances
that such acts would not be repeated
is that no matter whether merchant
man stops upon the firing of warn
ing shot by warship or after a pur-
suit, all the passengers must be re-
moved before the vessel is sunk.
The text of the note was not made
public tonight, as it had been indicated
it would be. Officials of the state de-
partment refused to discuss the COM
munication in any way, declining even
to admit that it had been sent. 1t was
said that the failure to give out the
note for publication was due to the
fact tha. the state department had
not been advised of its arrival at
Vienna.

Baron Erich Zweidenek, charge OF
the Austro-Hungarian embassy, called

SAFEGUARDING ROYALTY.
Precautions In Olden Days When an

Precautions In OIden Days When an
English Monarch Was Ill.
The British law retains some pecul-
lar provisions with reference to the
illness of the king" These provisions
are mere survivals in the present set
tied order Of government, but there
was a time when the kings incapacity
afforded opportunity to aspirants to
the throne to shorten his day at min
imum risk of detection. Accordingly
certain wise precautions were matters
of law.
In his Institutes" Coke says: IF
the King be taken sick there ought to
be a warrant issue from the Privy
Council. addressed to certain physi
clans and surgeons. authorizing then
to administer to the Royal patient po
tones, syrupos. laXitavaS, medicinas
ETC.: still, none Of these shonld be Civ
en- except by consent and advice OF
the Council, and they ought to set
down in writing everything done and
administered, and they should COM
pound all drugs themselves and not
entrust their preparation to any apoth-
ecary."
Coke thus wrote Of precedent in
1910. and today the law is practically
as he found it. although now the privy
council simply hears reports OF the
progress of the kings malady ana
leaves actual treatment entirely to the
physicians in direct charge of the case.
