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 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 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 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 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 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 the inside of the lid is a crown and the following inscription: "Marzo Madrid, 32, Galle de Alcala, San Sebastian; 1^, Alameda, SC, Rue de la Paix, Paris." 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 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 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

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 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 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 from a ring over which the kettle was standing. He concluded that she had a seizure while lighting the gas ring. The series of classes in plastic dancing and harmonious development which are being given by Miss Henrietta Celia Brazeau at the American Women’s Club, 61, Rue Boissière, are proving very popular. The courses are held from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday and Thursday.

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 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. French Naval Visit. The French Government has accepted an invitation from the Admiralty to send a squadron to visit Spithead as guests of the British Navy. Nine ships under Admiral Tirot will be in the Solent from May 31 to June 5. Admiral Tirot will take with him, according to present plans, three new 8,000-ton cruisers, the Duguay-Trouin, the Montpellier, and the Primauguet, which carry seaplanes, torpedo tubes, and anti-aircraft guns of a new type.

It is suggested here that President Doumergue’s postponed visit to England may take place at the same time as the visit of the French squadron.

Their departure will give accommodation for a few entering students. BRITISH LEGION Concert Which Had Been Fixed for Next Saturday Is Canceled. The concert which the Paris Branch of the British Legion expected to hold on Saturday has been canceled because of the work made necessary by the annual dinner-dance.

WOMAN HEADS REFORMATORIES OKLAHOMA CITY.—Mrs. George A. Waters of Pawnee, Oklahoma, has become the first woman warden of an Oklahoma penal institution, for men and probably the first woman to fill such a position in the United States. Her appointment by Governor Johnson to head the State Reformatory at Granite has been confirmed by the State Senate. EVENTS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW The Prince in the Slums. The Prince of Wales, during a visit to the slums of Hoxton, visited a fried fish shop.

THE MORNING PAPER OF THE CONTINENT In Paris and the Provinces; “Stunts” Fatal for Reserve Flier La Curiosité Si nous ne craignions d’offenser le sexe faible — loin de nous telle pensée! — nous dirons que l'Hôtel des Ventes a suivi de caprices qu’une jolie femme. Chaque jour détruit -presque régulièrement les espérances d’activité que la veille a pu provoquer; un ou deux jours de grandes Ventes sont invariablement suivis d'une période que nous pourrions qualifier de « calme mat ». Nous devons malgré tout reconnaître que les ventes qui ont lieu actuellement, quoique composées d’objets variés, atteignent le maximum de ce qu’on pouvait espérer. La salle 1 nous conviait aujourd'hui à une exposition de beaux tableaux modernes. L’œil s’y arrêtait avec plaisir, car la plupart des toiles étaient de bonne facture. La vente, dirigée aujourd'hui par M. Lair-Dubreuil et M. Schöller, expert, a donné lieu aux principales enchères suivantes : un dessin à la plume du maître humoriste Forain : C’est ma plus jeune, monsieur : 900 francs; un album de 43 aquarelles de Kullmann, représentant des
