RECORD LAWSUIT
 LASTED IA DAYS
One Witness and Two Others Inter- ested Died Before $2,5OO,OOO
 Case Was Settled.

London, Feb. 23.-The longest and one of the most unique lawsuits ever heard in the English courts has just been decided It involved the owner shop of $2.500,00O in gold which the Amalgamated Properties of Rhodesia, Ltd, owners of a million acres ill Rhodesia claimed that the Globe and Phoenix Gold Mining Company, which owns the richest gold mine in the world, had taken from the Rhodesia property. As if to be con- sistent the court occupied two hours in delivering Judgement
 The case lasted IA days and cost $750,000. One witness was on the stand sixteen days, and another who was on the stand almost as long died Two other men who were interested in the case died before it was concluded.
 More than 50000 questions were put to witnesses and answered. In the final summings up counsel for the de- fendants spoke for AS days Chief counsel for the defense received a fee of $5,000 and his -refresher'' or daily charge was $500
 The documents i'll the case were so voluminous. that two large rooms crowded with maps, assays and re- ports. The proceedings were enlivened by stirring scenes between opposing counsel and apologies were ordered by the court
 In deciding the case, Justice Eve dismissed the action on the ground that the Amalgamated Properties had failed to prove that the gold was ex- tracted from it's mine which ad- joined that of the Globe and Phoenix.

 Counsel for the E-1 4. in introducing the case, said: This is a large sum. but a soldier is worth hundreds of pounds, and prize bounty at five pounds per head or sinking 5000 of them is small in comparison. We contend that the transport was an armed ship within the meaning of the prize bounty act. She was perma- nent constituent of the Turkish navy. As early as 1908, it was the practioe

Onsetting Seditious Plottings of
 TeutOn and Turk

Peshawar, North West Frontier Province, India, Feb. 23.-The Brit lsh army officers and Tommies in this northwestern section of British India who often turn their thoughts longingly towards the activities in the great theaters of war, solace them selves with the fact that they are holding the eastern end of the front" anyway Under the direc- ton of Sir George Roos-Keppel, chief commissioner for the North West Frontier Province, they are keeping open the Peiwar Kotal and / /Khyber Passes, the gateways into Afghanistan. and are preventing the tribesmen of the intervening territory from carry ing into British India warfare which might have strong bearing on the situation as whole.
 When the war broke out there was considerable uneasiness among Brit ish officials regarding the thousands of independent tribesmen, who are ever ready to make trouble, and who. if they should succeed in burying their tribal feuds and unite would present 8 serious menace, Numbers of German and Turkishj emissaries had made their way into this inde- pendent region and had been busy trying to stir up the mountaineers to war, playing on the religious fanat- icism of the latter. To a certain eX- tcnt they were successful, for they created more or less unrest and aroused hopes of conquest which held dangerous, potentialities.
 Sir George Human Buffer.
 At this critical juncture Sir George Ross-Keppel, who was then on pro- tracted leave of absence in England, returned to take charge of his prov ince, which forms the buffer between the tribesmen and the rest of Brit ish India. As the result of the meas ures which he instituted the situa- ton is said to have been got thor oughly in hand and while the habitu- al fighting still continues there is no longer any fear of serious trouble.
 The handling of the tribesmen is largely a matter of personal influence and Sir George is credited in official circles with being extra aordinarily sue cessful. One thing that undoubtedly has contributed to his success is the fact that he is a typical leader of men; tall, broad shouldered keen eyed, quick of mind .and With a par ticularly strong personality-thc t',DH the tribesman respects The Hhief commissioner deals with the chiefs as man to man, employing their own open-handed form of diplomacy. He has established a reputation among the tribes of never trying to bluff, a fact which is said to have bridged many a difficulty. aes.~...e. -..s s-. .,...
 The Afridi the most Warlike and powerful of the tribesmen, have been remaining strictly neutral ever since the arrival of the chief commissioner, although they were restless when he
