B0NEPARTE'S LINK
TO U. S. DISCLOSED
Century-Old News Item Tells of
Gift to Captain of Packet
Shin.

A news item OF century ago shows
the close association of the family of
Bonaparte with the United States. In
the New York Express Of September
rs, 1886, the following account ap-
peared:
The captains of our noble packet
ships pick up many of the finest things
agoing. For example, Capt Morgan
of the Philadelphia has just brought
home with him from London the back
CANNON and chessboard OF the EN-
peror Napoleon. the very board which
Napoleon played upon when on his
last voyage from Plymouth to St.
Helena. Capt. Morgan says $4,000
would not buy it from him. and we do
not blame him for valuing it thus
highly, for though We have no affec-
tion for this most magnificent of the
earth's great butchers, yet such a relic
Is prize above price.
The board. as well as q rich silver
coffee pot with the name Of Bonaparte
upon it, were presents from Joseph
Bonaparte who, with his suite. were
passengers on the Philadelphia the
last trip she made to Liverpool He
and his suite occupied the whole cabin
Of the ship on this voyage, and their
gifts were in testimony of Capt. Nor
gan's politeness and seamanship.
We hear that the whole of the bag
gage of the family, including much
that they took with them from their
home at Bordentown, was by order of
the treasury department of the Brit
tsh government admitted into England
without the slightest examination.
Joseph Bonaparte has taken a house
in London, where he will reside, though
some day or other, it is said, he may
return to the United States.

.FOXHUNT|NC RIGHT
HELD SUBORDINATE
High Court Rules LandoWn-
erS Entitled to Injunction
Against Sportsmen.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, November 26.-The
Maryland Court of Appeals handed
down a decision yesterday dealing
with the rights of landowners, fox
hunters, and the liability of persons
owning dogs.
The opinion, by Judge T. Scott
Ofutt, upheld the right of DR.. and
Mrs. Laurence H. Baker to an in
junction to prevent the Howard
County Hunt from hunting across the
Baker farm. The County Circuit
Court had refused the injunction and
the Bakers appealed.
Opinion Quoted.
The opinion held:
That an equity court had jurisdic-
ton to grant relief to the Bakers,
and that the injunction prayed for
should have been issued
That there is no dispute. as there
can be no doubt that the rights of the
fox hunter are subordinate to the
rights of the landowner, and that If
the hunter himself goes on the lands
of another against the owners will,
he is tresspasser"
That the Bakers property is their
own, they have an unquestionable right
to enjoy it in peace and quiet-so long
as their use of it does not harm others.
May Kill Dog.
That fox hunters have an "unques-
tionable right" to indulge in the sport,
so long as they do not permit it to in
terfere with the rights of others.
DR.. Baker, formerly executive secre-
tary of the Johns Hopkins Medical
School. complained the hounds of the
hunt trampled his crops, destroyed
other property, disturbed his rabbits
and chickens, and so annoyed Mrs.
Baker that she left the place.
The court pointed out landowner
eat common law" may kill a dog ''in
defense Of his person, his property. or
of other persons, where circumstances
Justify a reasonable belief that so ex-
treme and drastic measure is neces-
sary to protect himself, his family or
his property from harm"
