A Job to Be Envied,

LONDON.-The Paris correspondent
of the Daily Mail says the judges
Of the civil court of Beaune could
have been seen last week gravely
pacing along vine-clad hills and
then sitting down in the fields in
their robes among barren vine
stems and sipping choice Burgundy
first from one, venerable looking bot
tie and then from another.
The case was one of the greatest
interest to lovers of Burgundy wine.
Mr.. Camuzet. the owner of the Clos
Vougeot, was being sued by N. Gau
din de Tillaine, and NJ. Chamber, the
owners of the even more famous
RomaEse-Conti.
NJ. CamuIet wished to designate
some of his wines as belonging TO
the Romanee-Conti district.
The judges and their assessors said
that the only way to decide the case
was to compare the qualities OF the
wines produced In the rival Vineyards
and 30 they did.
After day spent pacing old boun-
dAriesr an1 tasting old wines, the
court retVrned TO Beanie and gave
q verdict In favor OF n. Csmuzet.

The Law of Limitations.

An important question 1S raised IN
the Knickerbocker Theater case that
will have bearing upon the matter
of responsibility for structural defects,
and the decision will be awaited with
keen interest not only here but in all
other cities. The point is made in be-
half of one Of the defendants indicted
for responsibility for the weakness Of
the building and its collapse. causing
the death of ninety-seven persons. that
the statute Of limitations bars prosecu-
ton. 1t is urged that inasmuch as the
theater was completed in 1919. and the
collapse occurred January 2S. 1922,
rs, 1922, there is no ground Of accusa-
ton. The statute of limitations re-
quires a charge in due form within q
certain period after the alleged ofense.
In this case the question Is raised:
Was the offense committed upon the
completion of the building in the fail
ure of those involved in the construc-
ton to insure stability? Or was it
committed at the time of the collapse?
Il the former. the statute governs and
there is no punishable offense. II the
latter. the indictment may lie if the
guilty fault is proved.
II the courts hold in this case that
the statute operates. on the ground
that responsibility begins with the
completion Of the building and Is limit
ed by the term of the law, then re-
sponsibility for structural stability is
bounded only by that term. In other
words, if building can stand UP for
the length Of time covered by the
statute of limitations there IL no
ground for indictment If q collapse oc-
ours later. On the other hand, II the
statute begins to run only at the time
of the collapse responsibility ID prac-
tically unending and unlimited. That
is, all participating in the construction
become responsible for its durability
throughout the life of the building and
their own lives. This latter presump-
ton is contingent. of course. upon the
facts. Obviously there can be no prose
cution for criminal negligence in the
case of a building which collapses
from other than structural defects, the
fall of which may be traced to causes
wholly beyond the design or the man.
ner of construction.
Undoubtedly public security IL more
surely guaranteed through an unlinit-
ed responsibility. one running with the
life Of the building and those engaged
in its construction. But the court
must decide in this case whether such
a burden is rightfully to be put upon
those who contribute to a structure.
The matter is of moment in that if
the statute of limitations does not
operate. so long as indictment is
brought within the specified period
after collapse, this liability. running
with the life Of the structure and Of
the participant in its erection, may af-
feet seriously the cost Of construction.
In other words, If every person who
is engaged in any manner in such q
work is to be liable for an indefinite
period, perhaps to the point Of suffer-
ing a grievous penalty in case Of COL
lapse, he faces a risk that Is likely to
advance the rates for service. At the
same time, such construction Of the
law would undoubtedly make for
greater durability and a higher guar.
antee Of safety.

The City of Americans.

In the course of the annual conven-
fion of the American Federation. Of
Arts, held in this city during the past
week, speakers both at the sessions
and at the annual banquet gave ex-
preston to the keen interest that is
felt by Americans in the development
iof Washington as the Capital city.
Regrets were uttered that progress is
slow in the perfection of plans, that
inconsistent municipal equipment Is
lntruded into the perspective, that
hills are being leveled and hollows
filled in the preparation Of building
sites. Many constructive suggestions
We're offered by eminent architects,
artists. sculptors and landscapists. all
TO the point Of Washington embody-
ing the art ideals of the people.
Washington is pre-eminently the
city of American hopes. Residents of
all other cities despairing of develop
ments in their own places in other
than utilitarian and practical lines
look here for the realization of their
ideals. They want to see the Federal
city a model which will stand before
the world as a type as well as a
symbol.
This spirit has from time to time
been reflected in public measures, but
the process is provokingly slow. Ad.
vantage has been had of the services,
the advice and guidahce of the fore.
most exponents of the arts. Plans
have been prepared for the evolution
of the capital. Yet accomplishments
are tardy and halting.
When Washington was laid out a
fundamental plan was adopted that in
the light of the knowledge of that day
assured model city. That plan has
been in many respects departed from
until problems have arisen that are
difficult of solution. The city, more
over, has grown far beyond the con-
ception Of its founders. 1t has become
a metropolis of nearly half million,
with population OF a million within
the vision Of living persons. The en-
tire District, with the exception Of the
Ddi - iSSci seu Will WltuOut
doubt eventually be covered with
homes and business establishments. II
is necessary, therefore, to contemplate
the Washington of the future as a
strictly urban entity, and government
developments along the line of execu-
tive needs should proceed upon that
basis.
Fortunately a broad and compre-
hensive park plan has been adopted
and in large measure executed. But
there is need of additions. Certain con-
meeting areas are to be acquired. Ger
tain spaces that are plainly well
adapted for park uses must be taken
before progress has covered them with
constructions.
The interest manifested by the
American Federation Of Arts, repre-
senting the forward-looking spirit of
the people, is valuable and helpful.
The hope is that it will be translated
into terms of congressional action, and
that the governments own program
Of constructions will proceed quickly,
and that municipal improvements long
needed in the past and urgently re-
Iuired for the immediate future, will
be provided on a. liberal scale as be.
fitting the city of American ideals.

Bootlegging and Prison.

A jail sentence instead of q fine, OF
a Jail sentence Invariably accompany
ing a flne. is being urged In the cases
Of all convicted bootleggers, and par
ticularly in the cases Of those who
have been financing and managing
bootlegging ventures.
The argument is that the dread OF
being locked up with everyday Grim
inals would have much stronger
deterrent effect than the dread Of q
fine,
Bootlegging has become a sort OF
fad-something In the nature OF
lark-ror men Of the lighter kind
They are not sensitive as to the term
bootlegaer. or as to conviction where
they can pay out with spot cash. But
they shrink from the thought Of q
prison experience, even of short
length.
Some years since. in state where
a law against carrying concealed
deadly weapons was being conspicu
ously flouted and offenders were pay
ing fines with smiling indifference
the regulations were frightened tc
make a short stay in prison a neces
sary part Of the penalty.
Instantly there was change fol
the better. Pistol.toting became les.
popular, and was soon confined to the
lower grades Of men-men without
pride. or anything to lose from stand
ing behind barred doors and looking
through barred windows.
Why not enforce prohibition to the
limit? 1t is proposed. Why not lock
UP men who put the law under their
feet, and draw willingly upon Iwel
nl,ed wallets for money penalties?
