MUST RUN TO AVOID KILLING.
Court Rules It's Murder to Stand When
Life Is Threatened


Trenton, n. jim an opinion filed
here recently by Chief Justice Gum
mere sustaining conviction of muir
der in the second degree the supreme
court says:
"a person upon whom an assault is
made so violent in its character as to
endanger his life or threatens him with
serious bodily harm is not justified or
excusable in standing his ground and
killing his assailant If he can avoid the
impending danger by retreating."
The case was that OF Nunzio di Maria
of Harrison, who was sentenced to
from twenty to thirty years in prison
for shooting Frank Barber
The charge of the trial court to the
jury regarding the law of self defense
was the only ground for reversal of the
conviction. The instruction objected to
was that the defendant had a right &c
save his own life.

rfenry James, style.
Stevenson spotted the unconsciJn-
able repetition of certain adjecives in
Frederick Hudson" but probably the
most marked characteristic of Henry
James style was his passion for adj
verbs and adverbial clauses. He was
the most adverbial of English writer's.
You win find more adverbs to the page
than even In Meredith. And he had a
quaint habit Of putting the adverb
before the verb when most writer's
would put 1t after. One Of his ladies
(the examples are taken at random)
thankfully felt another "quite beam
tifu1ly and tenderly smiled" And
after all crops up all over the place.
But one would not have these things
altered; they were part of the man.
One does object to them, however, in
his imitators, who have learned the
trick, but missed the spirit behind IT,

has affected the worlds business is
detailed in a statement compiled by
the Department of Commerce for
Chairman Simmons of the Senate
Finance Committee. The following
general conclusions are given:
Business activities were fairly nor
NAL in the various countries of the
world during the two years preceding
the outbreak of the war.
SIN every country including the
United States there was a decided de-
cline in business activity after July
1914.
1.-THE period of business depression
following the outbreak of the war
lasted from four to six months in most
of the neutral countries. In the bel
ligerent countries the upward trend
did not begin until the last few months
in 1915.
"The United States at the close OF
the period April 1916, had entered
upon period of business activity that
had no parallel in the history of the
country"
Complete figures could not be OBJ
tanned for all countries but the report
contains the most complete statistics
and diagrams issued on the subject I'M
