Courtroom Tales
Ephrai1n Tut a Good Type
of Yankee Lawyer

AWYERS and courtrooms havo
figured in short stories and nov
0 els in almost countless combina
tions of characters. Arthur Train, i.
his "Tutt and Mr.. Tut" (Scribner's),
has succeeded in evolving q new type,
or at least in presenting an old type,
the almost mythical Yankee lawyer, in
a novel and really intriguing manner.
This collection Of nine stories, in all
but one Of which Ephraim Tutt, of the
firm Of Tut & Tutt, is the driving
power, has won and held the interes5
not alone of the brethren of the bar,
but even of the layman, whose host i
legion. We speak in literal terms, for
"The Saturday Evening Post" has al
ready spread these hctional deeds o
the whimsical Mr.. Tut before tho
minds Of readers from sea to sea.
Ephraim Tut was loved and feared;
loved, since he was willing at any time
to take desperate case if it meant an
unusual setting in the courtroom or the
winning of legal battle against big
odds; feared, for his almost uncann-
knowledge OF tricky turns in wind
up before a jury often gave him a
victory where defeat seemed a surety.
These nine stories are sprinkled with
humor, rich in an acquaintance with
the bizarre and the picturesque, in un-
expected extemporaneous scenes in
court, and frequently gifted with the
veritable o. Henry whipsnap Of the un-
foreseen IN the last page.

London Burglars
Tale of Thieves Who Re-
form in America

" HE novels Of C. N. and A. NJ.
Williamson have been cleverly
constructed and we'll written. In
their latest offering, "The Second
Latchkey" (Scrbner's), they spin a
story of organized theft and burglary
in London, with threads Of distinctly
unconventional color. The girl in the
story, Annesley Grayle, who has been
living cabined life with an eccentric
aunt, answers q matrimonial ad. in
THE Morning Post" and goes to the
Savoy Hotel to meet the man who seeks
the woman. They meet, dine, and he
takes her to her home in q taxi. Then,
at once, wa are swept into the whirl Of
a truly enlivening yarn. The man is
professional thief who wants q wife
simply to aid him in covering his
tracks. Annesley's connection with
families that have the entree into circles
that touch the big circle Of royalty
gives her strange, secretive and, of
course, fascinating husband a field'
without limit.
1t is novel of the picturesque with
d tang Of literary touch to it and de-
cidely unworked vein Of plot. 1t sue

z HE Eastern question has been
Tor over a hundred years a
n threat to the peace Of the
world. 1t precipitated the
Crlmean War, 1876, and was the
cause of the Russian -Balkan-Turkish
conflict of 1s76-'7S. 1t loomed in the
background of the late struggle as a
problem demanding solution by bat
tie, and it was not solved. The set

answer to the seemingly eternal query
for solvent for this international

tlon, and cites the error of England
and France in backing Turkey against
Russia in the Crimean War, and the
reluctance to call for fresh light on
the whole situation to-day. His argu-
ment leads right up to a generous, al
trulstic participation by the United
States in the great game Of getting the
Near East upon its feet in sober,
sensible way, in q manner that, being
humane in its motive, will promise a
happy pcrmanence of decent interna-
tional relations.
Professor Jastrow's contribution to
the discussion-snd there certainly is
discussion Of the Eastern question
to-day--is in the shape Of suggested
international commissions with "a freer
hand and a far clearer field in the Near
East than in the case of the commits
sions appointed for the European coun-
tries for certain specific purposes for
the chief functions Of these interna-
tional commissions would be the rcor-
ganiZation of the regions entrusted to
