TRADE Experts Fear
Future ComDLicufiOus

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Whie the
effect of the decision invalidating the
restriction placed on imports by the
British government may not be very
great SO far as the amount Of the
business affected is concerned British
trade experts here said that because
of the contractual relations of Ameri-
can and British firms serious compli-
cations might follow.
The restrictions were originally i'm
posed by the British government with
the object of stopping the rapid in
crease in the balance Of trade against
England. In the beginning the list Of
restrictions was large, but it has been
apprcciably reduced in recent months.
One result of the original prohbi-
ton. il was pointed out, was auto
maticaly to cancel large contracts
placed by British firms for American
goods. The English contractor was
protected aainst the American demands
!or compensation by the British law,
but now many suits may be lodged
against the British firms

LONDON. Dec Widespread in
.erest has been aroused in the latest
legal puzzle created by the unprece-
dontad clrcum stance OF convicted
murderer whose sentence OF death was
commuted, being brought before the
bar of the House Of Lords on plea
by the Crown to have him again con-
demned to death. It is also the first
murder case in history to be taken be-
fore the House of Lords as the highest
court, in an effort to obtain new
legal definition of murder.
Arthur Beard. a young night watch
man, who killed thirteen-year- old
girl, is the prisoner. In the court of
first instance be vas condemned to
death. The court Of appeal however.
reduced this sentence to twenty years,
on the ground that the death OF the girl
was accidental, because when Beard
placed his hands over her mouth he
was so drunk he did not know what he
was doing.
The Crown is now appealing for re-
imposition of the death sentence before
Lords Haldane, Buckmaster, Duendin,
Atkinson, Summer, Philimore and
Reu ding. Putting the case, a decision Of
WnlCh VIII nave "lde cUecJ IN the AU-
ministration of British criminal law,
the Attorney General argued that TO
let Boards communication of sentence
stand would be to create third loop
hole for the escape of murde rers. The
only two at present, he said, we're
those relating to mental irres sponsi-
bility, but it was now proposed to give
Beard the benefit of point that though
he knew what he was doing when the
girl was killed he did not know the
extent of the injury she was likely to
sustain.
At the herring. the Lord Chief Jus
tice remarked that a man cannot be
convicted Of crime he never intended
to commit. Lord Phillimoro. on the
other hand, declared that if q man
caused bodily injury resulting in death
he was guilty of murder.

Q;,inn Says Hirsh6eld
Cannot Ignore Charges

Alderman William +. Quinn gave
out reply yesterday to the recon-
mendation made by David Hirshield
Commissioner of Accounts, that the
Aldcrman's suggestion for an investi
cation of the Department OF Markets
be ignored. Mr.. Quinn declared that
it would be impossible to ignore his
demands for an investigation and init
mated that Mr.. Hirshfield's advice was
based upon fears of what such an
investigation might reveal.
Il can guarantee tn S gentleman"
Mr.. Quinn said, that he and some Of
his cronies IN the present administra-
ton will be unable to ignore my ac-
is up.
"Of course it would be safer to have
all Incidents of this type closed as
soon as possible, and I do not blame
Commissioner Hirshfeld for advising
the Mayor to clamp the lid down on
this investigation as soon as possible
an investigation which, if sincerely
carried out, probably would mean the
immediate ruination Of many con-
noc4od with the Hylan administration"
Mr.. Quinn's original suggestion for
en- nvc legation was inspired by the
accusations made by the Rev. DR..
Jonathan c. Day when Mayor Hylan
dismissed him as Commissioner Of
Markets. The Alderman suggested the
sitting of those accusations.
The Commissioner of Accounts, Mr..
Quinn declared. was mistaken in say
ing that he had refused to take oath
and tell the Commissioner anything
he might know warranting such an in
quiry. The fact was the Alderman

them being that witnesses were pres
