NEW YORK, September 5.-The
Prince of Wales really and truly is
girl shy. This also goes for Baron
Renfrew and David Windsor, for even
if he were not heir-apparent to the
British throne. the young man still
would fee the young women who
would be attracted by a personality
which is not a part of royalty.
So the American girls whose hearts
have been pit-a -patting might just as
we'll stop signing about the prince
and go back to paying a little more
attention to the steady beaux in the
old home town.
1t would be foolish to say the prince
does not enjoy the society of women.

Believes Indictment Defective.
Commissioner Turnage had no hesi-
fancy in expressing his opinion that
the indictment is defective and would
be thrown out on a general demurrer
because 1t fails to inform the ac-
cused with what they are charged.
Similar indictments have been held
defective in this court, he points out,
but under the law such objection to the
indictment is reserved for decision to
the courts of the jurisdiction in
which the Indictment is returned and
may not be passed on by the COM
missioner. A mere statement of the
charge in the language of the statute
has been held by the courts sufficient

different from extradition cases be-
