NATIONAL
EDITION
By ABTHUE BBISBAX&
(Coprrtcht. ltlt.)
To the list of great historical
law cases the greatest of all may
be added. Extreme Socialist In
Germany demand that the Kaiser
be returned to be tried, for sacri
ficing German lives and pros
perity. The English Lord Chancellor
and Attorney General say the
allies have the right they cer
tainly have the power to make
Holland surrender the Kaiser.
France and England want to put
him on trial for murder.
It would be the greatest trial in
all history, a dramatic ending to
autocracy It It be the end.
The first great criminal case
was that of Adam and Eve, who
took the forbidden apple. They
were turned out.
Second was the case of Cain,
accused of murder. He was sent
wandering, branded.
Then Sodom and Gomorrah were
condemned, as they deserved, and
the whole world drowned except
one family.
Then came the trial o Job's
patience, based on the suggestion
of Satan that Job, sufficiently per
secuted. would lose his faith In
Divine Providence. Job was vindi
cated. It was hard on his family,
but he came out of it richer than
ever.
Changing from supernatural to
hnman trials, you find Socrates
philosophizing while dying of
hemlock poisoning. He was sen
tenced really for teaching men to
think, ostensibly for inspiring In
the young contempt for the Urge
collection of Greek gods.'
Then,, most shameful trial in
history, poor Joan of Arc, aban
doned by a coward king, is de
clared a heretic and a. witch, and
burned alive, "fiecently she was
made a saint'' One age revokes
what the other age did.
Martin Luther, at the Diet of
Worms, with his proud "Here I
stand, .Cod, help me, I can no
other," set a high mark for hu
man courage. The fact that
Henry VK wanted a divorce and
the Pope would not grant it saved
Luthers life. Charles V had his
reasons for obliging-Henry VOL
Banyan, poor, spileless wind,
was put in jail for preaching
what he believed to be true.
That was fortunate for the worldV
for otherwise he never -would have
written his "Pilgrims Progr,"
' For a trial -resembliag te,
Kaiser's go back "to -Cfcartar-tb,
Tint of England when, befell
into the dutch of. CronrweB.
Charles" laughed aloud when he
-orougnt, oexore we .mgn
t of Justice and called1' a
aitor."
A little-later he stepped from
be window, at his banqueting
( house upon, a scaffold where his
iead was cut off. Milton, who
Was Cromwell's secretary and
wrote letters for film, said: "It
Its lawful and bath been held sq
.through all ages to call to ac
IcounVa tyrant or .a wicked king,
land.' after -due. conviction to de
Jpose'and put him to death."
Certain English sentimentalists
"revere Charles as a martyr. But
England knows bow much of good
government she owes to Cromwell's-
courage. He thought no
more of a 'guilty king than of "a
sheep thief.
French history in a few weeks'
of revolution presents many a
dramatic trial, many a falling
head,, Louis Sixteenth, the Kinjr.
Marie -Antoinette, the Queen, phi
losophers, scientists, agitators.
Those that tried and killed the
King were tried and killed in
their turn.
Now, at the end of its greatest
war, the world plans a trial that
would mean more in the future
than any other. Not that the
Kaiser individually is important,
but because the right ending of
autocracy is vastly important.
Murders, wars, great trials and
convictions are not CAUSES of
anything, but rather the result of
forces and, causes that history
overlooks.
Each great decision, the behead
ing of a king by a high court in
England, the murder of a czar by
a mob In Russia, the burning of
Giordano Bruno, the caging of Na
poleon is historically important,
because it marks a decision of the
people; it expresses a purpose, a
hatred, long shut in and gather
ing power by confinement
In the suggested trial of the
Kaiser there Is every element of
great drama.
Shall he be taken to France and
punished with Dr. Guillotine's in
strument still working?
Shall be be turned over to the
government of his own cousin, the
English King?
Shall the last of the great mili
tary autocrats be hanged by the
neck until dead in a land safely
ruled by George, the grandson of
the Kaiser's grandmother, Vic
toria? "Will an English court add a
banging in modern times to the
history of the English royal fam
ily? Or will the Kaiser go back to
bis own country, to be Judged un
der the government of a Socialist
who was a harnessmaker, tried
for his life by workmen that a few
weeks ago would have taken off
their hats and stood bareheaded
as he passed? '
"Call no man happy until his
death," said Solon.

KAISER'S ABDICATION DOES

THOSE GUILTY
OF LYNCHING
IN CULPEPER
CULPEPEB, Va., Dec J. The
lynching of Allie Thompson, a negro,
for attacking Mrs. Lena Flak, whose
husband is with-General Pershing in
France, is '.not to go unpunished.
Edjvin H. Gibson, Commonwealth
attorney, yesterday declared that
when the grand Jury convenes on
December IS a sweeping investiga
tion. -of the lynching, will be made
and thase lasnasulUraf- the" crime

Nose of the.AIteen -men who en
tered the Culpeper County Jail and
dragged the negrp from his cell to
a tree some three hundred yards
away and hanged blm has been ap
prehended. First Lynching In Ten Tears.
-This Is the nrst lynching- in Vir
ginia In ten years anUi thoie who
took the law Into their own hands
must not go unpunished, said Mr.
Gibson.
"Thompson, both at thejtlme of his
arrest and' on the night he "was hang
ed, declared he was not guilty, and
it Is within the realm of possibility
that he was innocent. We must In
vestigate this case In order to find
out who attacked Mrs. Flsk and to
punish the teen who took the law
into their qwn hands and hanged
Thompson."
"Apparently the lynching had been
well planned." Mr. Gibson continued.
"It was pulled off without any
great excitement.
"The coroner's Jury was unable to
place the responsibility for lynching,
but I will order the grand Jury to
learn the Identity of all or the lynch
ers and bring them to Justice."
Three of Mob Known.
The Identity of three of the men
who were members of the lynching
party is known to officials of the
county.
Of the fifteen lynchers only thirteen
were completely masked. Tne two
men who were unmasked were recog
nized by Jailers O. M. Tipton and
Frank Herman. They were the men
who told the Jailers that they had
with them a man, bound and gagged,
who was accused of a serious crime.
When the bar was taken from the
door the thirteen masked men pushed
It open, gagged both Jailers and
dragged tbnegro from his cell.
The names of the two men who
were not masked probably will not be
made public until the grand Jury con
venes, when they will be questioned
and asked to name other members of
the party.
AI.BANT. X. V, Dec 1. The death
sentence of Paul Chapman, Brooklyn
choir boy who was convicted of com
plicity In the murder of Harry Reg
ensherg, a cigar store proprietor, has
been commuted to life imprisonment
by Governor Whitman.
The Governor expressed his belief
in the guilt and sanity of the defend
ant and said he acted only because of
hli youth. Chapman was between
sixteen and seventeen years of age
when the crime was committed.

case against Elizabeth llaaka, the
nineteen-year-old cigar worker ac
cused of the murder of lira, nelen

street, with whom she boarded, has
suffered another serious setback.
Dr. James F. Cushman, of. 205 Sixth

rr.uch-talkrd-of wax and itlaster of
Paris Impressions of the girl's teeth
nd the chief dental expert for the
State, declared upon the witness stand
that the imprints were-unreliable and
could not be connected with the crime.
It Is the contention of the District
Attorney's office that the teeth marks
found In the left arm of Jlfrs. Hamel's
body were those of a woman. To
prove this a section of tlJe arm con
taining the Imprints haJ been pre
served in alcohol for (comparison

to belittle the Idea of the league of

greatest guarantee of peace and
freedom of the world lies In the Brit

a luncheon of the Itoyal Scottish
corporation yesterday.
"The seas always have been free
in peace time, but It is difficult to
see how even the greatest idealist
could Imagine them free In war
time "
I could you by comparison of the cast
and the low;pr teeth of the defendant
determine that those of the cast were
made from her teeth?"
"o, sir." was the prompt response.
The dentist said ho took the Im
rrint of the teeth of the lower Jaw
in wax and those of the upper Jaw
in piaster or pans, hucn a procedure,
he declared, was customary In such
cases. The "Impressions" were then

Resolutions asking him to stay on
the Job as their boss were handed Di
rector General McAdoo by representa
tives of the Railway Department of
the American Federation of Labor
last night The executive council of
seven men, representing more than
(00.000 employes, called on the Director
General to urge him to reconsider his
resignation.
In reply to McAodo'a statement that
he was resigning because of a depleted,
personal fortune, .the 'employes' lead
era proposed legislation which wo old
"provide a. salary In keeping with the
services rendered." This latter resolu
tion was transmitted to President Wil
son. The President was strongly
urged to offer such legislation to Con
gress. The brotherhood leaders also em
phatically protested against any at
tempt to. turn the roads back to pri
vate control. They argued that tHu
test to which Government direction
has been put was sufficient to prove
Its value and that no more efficient
service could have been, rendered
than has been had. under McAdoo.
Four employes of the Frisco rail
road at Roff, Okla., mailed personal
checks for 11 each to the director
general as part of his salary. They
suggested that If all employes would
contribute a dollar each the aggregate
from 1.780,000 men would be a, jom
sufficient to keep McAdoo from quit

It Is now believed that the slain

within a block of where his body was

The latest theory as to the scene
of the crime. In which women ac

been suspected. Is due to evidence ob
tained by the district attorney's of

carted to the scene of the discovery.
