ANOTHER BUNGLESOME JOB. BY C
I ..JHE.BEFORMERS- -W HO?NOT
ABLE TO REFORM.
The case of the State against
Walker Bosserman which attracted
a great deal of attention in Mayor e
Kinsey's court last week has been dis- v
missed. Bosserman was arrested on a
a warrant for alleged Sunday selling,. ^
City Solicitor Stanley was put in the i(
background and the case was put t]
mainly into the hands of other law- n
yers. The warrants prepared by So- a
licitor Stanley were not even used,
as the other lawyers on the case said w
tha^they were no good, so he let them c]
run the case.
At the trial Mayor Kinsey fined Bosserman
$50 and an appeal was taken. m
As an ex-officio justice of the peace ]a
the mayor had jurisdiction up to $10. v<
The fine imposed was slightly above ]s
the mayor's jurisdiction. Now the reaction
has come, and the lawyers who s?
had charge of the case see where bl
they were wrong. All that was left" ^
was to dismiss the case and let the
? cs
taxpayers pay the costs.

HOW THE FRENCH
VIEW THE MATTER
>F THE ATTACK ON THE GAM E AcOC?~
FISHING .-FLEET- BY".
RUSSIAN SQUADRON.
(By Publishers' Press.)
PARIS, Oct. 2*1.?The French gov
rnment, while taking a moderate
iew of the affair in the North Sea,
nd expressing the belief that the
tussian fleet was haunted with the
iea of a.possible attack and mistook
:ie mysterious forms of the fishing
eet in the darkness of night for Japnbse
boats, nevertheless considers
le situation serious? as depending
holly on the view which England
hooses to take.
A high official, in an interview
ranted your correspondent this
lorning, said: "Precedents are not
.eking of warships injuring neutral
essels. Fifteen years ago, a Turkh
warship at Constantinople fired on
boat containing the French Ambastdor
and his family. The bullet
-oke the mast of the ambassador's
tat and his party had a narrow esLpd.
France accepted the explanaon
that It was an accident. '
"It has constantly happened that (
-itish warships speeding along the
iast have sunk, French fishing boats i
the fogs.
"Explanations have not been even 1
tered, owing to the difficulty of ob- <
ining information. <
"Such Incidents are comparable 1
th the present affair from an intertional
standpoint. Consequently <
ere is hope that England will ac- 1
pt the explanation which Russia 1
11 not fall to offer, and, thus not disrb
the peace of Europe."
