But he flew to Audun-le-Roman, where he lives, and began to perform acrobatics at a very low altitude in plain view of his mother and the neighbors. This, too, is against the rules, as such “stunts” are forbidden except at much higher altitudes and in case of necessity or for training purposes. The young aviator crashed in a field near his mother’s house. She was the first to reach him. He died a few minutes later.

feelings towards no one,” said Aimee in Denver. “I want Mr. Keyes, and all of those who figured in his trial to know this.” In the House of Commons, later in the day, the whole Socialist Party participated in a demonstration against Sir William Mitchell-Thompson, the Postmaster-General, bowling insults at him as he rose to speak on a minor question. The demonstration lasted several minutes, Socialists yelling “Shoot!” “Bang!” “Put him against a wall!” The demonstration was made against a speech which the Postmaster-General made at Croydon, declaring that if the Socialists attempted to interfere with the progress of British
the Socialists attempted to interfere with the progress of British arms in any possible Chinese war, they would “end with their backs against a wall and with a firing party in front of them.” The Hall-Mills murder trial cost the taxpayers of Somerset County $35,000. This did not include any claim for the work done by the Jersey City police. (Although one item was $1,496.10 for meals for two months at Somerville for the police). Nor did Alexander Simpson charge for his services as special prosecutor. (The State Senator was appointed by Governor Moore to press the case). Communist Condemned.
appointed by Governor Moore to press the case). Communist Condemned. M. Vaillant-Couturier, a Communist Deputy, has been sentenced to three months in prison and ordered to pay a fine of 200fr. for having written an article in the Humanité defending the child who was trampled and stabbed to death by Fascists in Bologna after the attempt on the life of Signor Mussolini. M. Vaillant-Couturier was accused of having attempted to justify the attack on Signor Mussolini. The Communist lodged notice of appeal. The Railway Disaster. The inquest into the railway accident at Hull, in which ten passengers lost their lives,
accident at Hull, in which ten passengers lost their lives, began yesterday, but was postponed until after the Minister of Transport has completed his enquiry. A young woman doctor who qualified not long ago at the Royal Free Hospital, London, is by common consent the heroine of the railway disaster at Hull. She is Dr. Anne Perrott, of Watford, now on the staff of Anlaby Hospital. She unhesitatingly risked her own life to save two men who lay maimed under a mass of collapsing wreckage. Crawling in through this wreckage, she climbed over one of the engines, and with her
she climbed over one of the engines, and with her own hands tore a way into a splintered carriage to bring them help. Two Ex-Officers Held. Mr. John Miles, the former British officer who was arrested on a complaint by Mrs. Hope Summers, an American, attempted yesterday to obtain his temporary liberty. His appeal was rejected, and he has now reported it in a higher court. Mr. Miles is accused of attempting to keep or sell at an undue profit some jewels which Mrs. Summers confided to him to sell for her. Vivian Stranders, the other British ex-officer who is
for her. Vivian Stranders, the other British ex-officer who is now in difficulties with the Paris courts, will be tried next week. He is accused of espionage for the benefit of the Germans. His trial will be secret. Italian Swindlers Arrested. Cherbourg Ranieri and Pietro Giabbattaro, two Italian specialists in confidence games (called in French vol à l'Américaine) were arrested by the Paris police last night just as they had placed an envelope containing blank paper in the place of an envelope containing 7,000 marks in banknotes. The pair has served sentences in prison in various countries, and the police
served sentences in prison in various countries, and the police authorities report that both of them have long criminal records in Paris. Ranieri met Giabbattaro in San Sebastián some years ago, at a bullfight. Ranieri was at that time almost without funds, as various of his professional tricks had failed. Giabbattaro, who was picking pockets at the time, tried to obtain Ranieri’s pocket-book. The two became great friends at once, and since Ranieri speaks both English and French, and Giabbattaro Italian, German, and Spanish, they formed a partnership and began a tour of the world. Their criminal records mention exploits
a tour of the world. Their criminal records mention exploits in Basel, Brussels, Moscow, and London. Picasso Pastel Recovered. A pastel by Pablo Picasso which was stolen from a gallery in the Rue Vavin in Paris a month ago was recovered yesterday from a young woman who attempted to sell it to a dealer in the Rue La Boétie. The dealer immediately recognized the pastel, of which a description and photographs had been circulated. He called policemen. The young woman, under examination, admitted that the pastel had been stolen by her friend, Paul Bernard. Bernard was arrested and the woman
her friend, Paul Bernard. Bernard was arrested and the woman released. Gold Changes to Plaster. M. Joseph Baun, who keeps a second-hand shop in the Rue des Blancs-Manteaux in Paris, received a visit the other day from a worried young man who was seeking a priest. Pressed for his reasons, the young man explained that he wanted to obtain 40,000 fr. in French banknotes for a sum of gold marks superior in value to that amount. He was afraid to try to negotiate the gold, since the gold traffic is forbidden, but he wished to find 'a priest because he
forbidden, but he wished to find 'a priest because he thought a priest might buy it from him. M. Baun arranged to come to the young man’s rescue, and yesterday the owner of the gold marks appeared, with a friend, carrying a heavy valise. In it was a pile of plaster nuggets, each one of which, the young man said, contained a gold piece. The young man broke two or three nuggets and silver German gold appeared. M. Baun then put his 40,000 fr. in an envelope and placed it in the valise, while the two young men, who were
in the valise, while the two young men, who were in a hurry, went away. But when M. Baun proceeded to break open the plaster nuggets, there was nothing in them. Horrified, he grasped at his envelope; the 40,000 fr. was still there. He concluded that his vigilance had prevented the swindlers from accomplishing their plan. Nevertheless, he notified the police. Simpson claims he will put a certain man, a close friend of the murdered woman, in the witness box and ask him what he was doing in Newark early last Christmas morning. The New York World reprinted this item
last Christmas morning. The New York World reprinted this item from its columns and then explained that it was not about the Hall-Mills trial at all. It was printed on October 28, 1908, when the same Alexander Simpson was defending Theodore Whitmore on a charge of wife murder. "It shows Mr. Simpson in a familiar role," commented the World. Meaning the role of a criminal lawyer creating in the mind of the jury a "reasonable doubt." When Mr. Simpson took charge of the case he gave the newspapers wild stories of what he would accomplish. He appeared in court with
of what he would accomplish. He appeared in court with theatrical displays. He gave the impression that he would prosecute regardless of the evidence. "No jury would have convicted after such an exhibition of irresponsibility," said the World. "The Hall-Mills trial was a circus," said a member of the Hudson County Bar Association. The Association resolved that the manner of the Hall-Mills prosecution constituted "a judicial scandal which cannot fail to disturb public confidence." It asked the State Bar Association to determine if it were not possible "to make reparation to the defendants who have been acquitted by the jury
to the defendants who have been acquitted by the jury or had suffered wrong imprisonment on indictment no proceedings without trial." Mystery of Cigarette Case. Scotland Yard is seeking the meaning of a strange incident in West London late on Monday night. A policeman saw something hurled suddenly from a taxi-cab, and found it to be a valuable gold cigarette case. It is described as of blue grey aventurine (a brown speckled kind of Venetian glass), ornamented with Chinese scroll, with the catch and hinge set with rose diamonds. It is in a leather case, with gold ornamentation, and on

Hustle. At 12:15 a.m. a soldier of the 1st Middlesex Regiment broke into the Golders Green branch of Boots, the chemists, and stole property worth 12s. At 10:35 a.m. he was charged with the offence at Hendon Police Court, and at 11:30 he was on his way to India. An officer of the regiment told the magistrate that the prisoner undoubtedly committed
the regiment told the magistrate that the prisoner undoubtedly committed the offence in order to avoid going to India with a draft which was due to leave in forty-five minutes. He added that there was just time to catch the train, and that he had a military escort waiting outside the court. On hearing this, the magistrates handed the prisoner over to the military authorities, and he was hurried away to the train by the escort. APPEAL CONTINUES FOR AMERICAN HOUSE Some days ago the announcement was made of two gifts of $500 each for an American House in the
gifts of $500 each for an American House in the Cité Universitaire of the University of Paris. The Association for an American House in the Cité Universitaire announces now that one of these gifts was made by Mrs. Louise G. Towner and the other by her sister, Miss Augusta N. Dreer. Both are American residents in Paris. Mrs. Towner is a recent benefactor of Harvard University. She has established two fellowships there, one for an American student who desires to study in France, and one for a French student who wishes to go to America. The Association for an American
wishes to go to America. The Association for an American House reminds Americans that the Association holds an option on a lot in the Cité Universitaire, which will expire in July next. If the United States is to have a good site in the Cité, Americans will have to take more than a platonic interest in the Project of building an American dormitory. Those who have a real interest may manifest it by sending contributions to Mr. J. Ridgely Carter, care of Morgan and Co., 14, Place Vendôme. Pledges may be sent to, and full information regarding the American House
be sent to, and full information regarding the American House may be had from, Dr. Horatio S. Kraus, American University Union, 173, Boulevard Saint Germain, Paris. AT THE WOMEN’S CLUB The latter phrase refers to Henry de la Bruyère Carpenter. He was indicted with his cousins for the murder of Mrs. Eleanor Mills. But while Mrs. Hall and the Stevens Brothers had their days in court and their verdict of "Not guilty," Mr. Carpenter had 104 days in jail and no legal vindication. He was simply thrown out of jail and permitted to return to the floor of the New
and permitted to return to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. His incarceration cost very large commissions to his firm of McClave and Company. The power of the press. A verdict of "Death from natural causes" was returned at the inquest at Bedford on Lady Seton, aged seventy-five, widow of Sir William Seton, Bt., and mother of Sir John Seton. A doctor was called to the flat where Lady Seton lived by herself. The door was locked, and he forced it open. He found Lady Seton lying in the kitchen, unconscious, by the gas stove. Gas was escaping

In addition, damage of $1,500 has been done to doors, furniture, and plumbing in the courthouse. The damage to public decency cannot be estimated in figures. The New York Law Journal recommends legislation "to prevent the publication of salacious dirt, or of the foul details of trial"—as in England. The New York State Legislature is considering a Bill to prevent marital suits from being transferred from one county to another as was done with the Broawning trial. "I think all
as was done with the Broawning trial. "I think all domestic linen should be washed in whatever county the litigant desiring the washing lives," explains the Westchester Assemblyman who introduced it. Other New York legislation inspired by the troubles of the 50-year-old millionaire and his 16-year-old wife include an Anti-Child Marriage Bill that would require the consent of certain judges for the marriage of a girl under 16 and an "anti-gold-digging" Bill to prevent the avarice of women from building up the alimony clubs.
