For the first time in history the Chi- nese courts have condemned a white man to death. This senténce was the result of the trial of the noted des- perado Korniloff, an educated Rus- slan of good family, who is charged with several murders and robberles and to whom have been imputed a varlety of exploits of motfon picture sensationalism. One of these developed last spring, when Kornloff, charged with a civil offenge, was brought into the same coutthouse where he has just been sentenced to death. The outlaw, wearing manacles, stood with another prisoner near a widow. A confederate passed him two revolvers. With these Korniloff and his com- panion defied the crowd, scaled a wall and selzed a cab in the street. They escaped by a furious drive, ex- changing shots with policemen. Months later the police, advised that Korniloff was secreted in & house in the city, surrounded it, killed the outlaw’s companion and the latter's wife, and captured Kornlloff. In hi€ trial Korniloff's counsel con- tended the proposed punishment of death could not be inflicted because the Chinese decree under which Xhe osecution sought to have it appllied had been issued since Korniloff's al- leged offense was committed and was not retroactive. The outlaw may appeal his case. The court’s finding is regarded as in- dicative of the lowered state of white prestige here. —_— 502 SHRINERS INITIATED. Representatives of Temples Throughout U.

Answering the question “Why 1s a palatinate?’ would be a much eas- fer task for the schoolboy of Shake- speare’s day than a pupil of today. One principality of Europe, smalier than the state of Delaware, has now laid special claim to this once com- mon term by spelling it with a capt- tal “P,” but three hundred years ago palatinates were as common as Main streets, according to a bulletin from the headquarters here of the National Geographic Soclety. ‘The Palatinate of Bavaria, which has ciimbed the columns of American newspapers to the top headlines re- cently, by virtue of news that its citizens have erected a separate inde- pendent government, is a near cousin to Alsace-Lorraine on the French bank of the Rhine.

Therefora they found it convenient to assign one of their gdherents to a district, glving him thW power to b master,’ collect taxes and administer Justice’ as he saw At - The term ‘palatinate’ was appr priately applied to =uch a hoiding, as 1t e from the same Latin root word as ‘palace’ and ‘castle. “This giorified governor held territory in flef to the king.

A pencil outline of this clrcle on any map wiil show immediately that it lies between two Amportant centers, the famous Saar’ coal basin on the east, and Frankfort on the west. Though these two cen- ters alone are suflicient to make It vital, strategically the Palatinate is of added Interest because it is on one of the chief routes between southern and northern Europe. “Kaiserslautern lies In the gap down which the American Army was charging after the battle of the Ar- gonne. It is on the main railroad route from. Metz through Saarbruck to Frankfort-on-the-Rhine. To the south of the Palatinate lies Alsace now French territory.
