DECEMBER 1, ±010 TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, A LEGAL DILEMMA Tangle of Red Tape In an Eng lish Extradition Case. GETTING AROUND THE LAW. Only ths Quick Wit of the Canadian Police Inapactor Kept a Notorious Criminal In Custody When In Realty Ho Waa as Free as tho Air. The maimer la which a prisoner ex tradited to England from a foreign country Is treated while on the voyage home depends very much ou the de- te-flve who has him In charge and also on whether or no there Is any suspicion that he may be contemplat ili-.' violence either to himself or to others. For Instance, in the case of Jabez Ihil'our. who wus taken to England all the way from Buenos Aires, there wrs it strong suspicion—probably 111 founded that he contemplateli com mitting suicide Consequently In»|a-<-- tor Freest. who had him In charge, de- < Ideil I» take no risks that he could possibly avoid. The regulations do not permit of an unconvicted prisoner being handcuffed oil hoard ship once the vessel has left port, and he must be allowed one hour's exercise on deck each day. Those Indulgence«. If Indulgences they mat lie called, were therefore uot withheld from Balfour. Rut he got few others. For twenty- tliree hours out of every twenty-four lie was immured In a locked cabin.

But then his difficulties be pan. He could uot bring Ills prisoner to Cmindn by the direct route through the Fulled States, for Inimi dlntelv Dnvldson set foot III that country he could have demanded to bo released. There was therefore nothing for It but to convey him by way of .liiniulcn mid England mid theme book across the Atlautlc to Quebec. On the voyage Murray kept David seu under close oUservutlou, although allowing him conslil. riildy mole fre<*- dom t linn Freest allowed Balfour. When, however, he bail got safely as far ns London lie was both mortified mid astonlsbed at the likelihood of his having hud ull Ills trouble for nothing The law «us, lie was told, that a prisoner extradited frvm u foreign country to h British colony could uot be kept In custody lu England for longer than twenty four hours. nor I I'ollld lie I m * taken ns n prisoner ou board a British ship sailing from a British pert. Here waa n dilemma. Dnvldson wus free us air hud he only known it Fail Murray was equal to the occasion "Ixiok here. Davldsou." lie said. "I’ve got you safe. There Is only the Inst uge of the Journey to complete. If I allow you to travel saloon with me ns an onRuary first Class iMtssenger will you ghi me your word to play llie no tricks?" To this proposition Dnvldson. know Ing nothing of the real state of affairs, was naturally quite ready to agree And so It rime to pass that one of the l: o»t notorious criminals Canada has vver known cane home lu state; free, yet not free, h voluntary prisoner, and yet an Involuntary one.

Science Definee It ab the Hundredth Pert of • Second. The Indian Chisf’s Story of How Hs Whipped the Mexicans. A congre*» of European astronomers decided that the prew-nt time—that Is. the present moment at any particular instant—consist» of the hundredth part of a second. Tills tuts I mh - u setthsl on because these men of science have thought that it represented the tiniest fraction of time which <ould be appre ciated by the human brain Yet the thousandth part of u second Is actually used in physical science, eepectally In certain important uses of electricity. For scientific purposes, however, the official present moment flashes from the future to the past In the huii- dredth part of a second. This cannot seem so remarkable when it is recalled that speed records for both horses aud men runners are officially calculated tn fractions as small us one-fifth of u sec ond. But In astronomy It is needed to have the htlndredth part of a second, for In that moment light can travel 2.000 miles. So time, which is. niter all, only a figure of speech and is a mys- tery that no human brain can under- i stand or fathom, must be considered ¡relatively to one's sensations. The I time to pull an aching tooth is really I much longer to the RUfferer than n j whole night spent In sound sleep. It Is more of the person's actual life. It de mands more food to stand the nervous strain and the pain than hours of quiet rest. Time. then, for all men lx relative to their personal sensations. Yet time 1» real enough. It takes actual time for starlight to travel. In some eases thou sands of years. It takes time for sound to travel and time for the electric wave to work actual results over long dis tances. So that time Is not only theoretical: it is as real ax coal and wood, Yet this reality stretches over a human llfe- time back to arei before the existence of the sun and the stars, For purposes of ordinary human work the second Is small enough to use as a standard of value, but scientific men have pro gressed so far In knowledge that the second Is too long a period for them to consider as the scientific Instant. Therefore they have chosen the hun dredth of a second as the standard for the length of time that they will con sider ns the actual moment at any one Instant.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Spoiled His Act.

The place wjiere they assembled was not very far front the uiuln stream, uud a little ditch run out close to where the officers stood. Cautiously I crawled out this ditch, very close to where the council was being held. The general was an old warrior. The wind was blowing in my direction, so that I could heur all he said, and 1 understood most of it. This is about what he told them: "Officers, yonder lu those ditches are the red devil Ge ronimo and his bated bund. This must be their last day. Ride on them from both sides of the ditches. Kill men. women and children. Take no prisoners: dead Indians are what we want. Do not spare your own men; exterminate ids band at any cost. I will post the wounded to shoot all deserters.
