What was agreed to by the respec- tive delegations in the conference must of necessity be ratified by thelr govern- ments and with such general satistaction € manifested over the results accom- plished it is quite natural that there $hould be a desire for an early disposl- tion of the matter by the United States renate What the senate will do no one can tell. However, there are reasons for be- lieving that the sentiment of the coun- try is =0 much in favor of the ratifica- tion o the various treaties that if it is heeded there will be no question about the outcome.

There have been outbreaks and outbreaks, changes and betterments and it is to be #xpeated that there will be a continuance of such conditions according to the man- Ber in which conditions fustity them and the attitude that is manifested to- rd them. Perhap® it is hard for the Indians to understand that there have been benefits sttached to being a part of a big em- pire. That they can present many in- gtances whers they have been obligad to gtand unreasonable treatment is not im- probable but India as It stands today and India as it would be had it been sbandoned to its ewn devices offers a decided contrast. Just what is going to be the omtcome 9f the present opposition thai has been in evidence thers for a considerable time must necessarily give the British no Iit- tle concern. The demand for less irk- some ocontrol, for greater freedom is in the air. There s disclosed a ocertain dis- Poshion to meet It In other instances and 1t remains to be seen how far a sim- flar atthtuds will be taken in regard to Jdpdia, And stfil the sitwation and. pred- lems in India are different than in some other localities. India at the present time is apparent- Iy seeking for the removal of certain re- strictions. That mueh of this may be due to the efforts of a certain leader is indicated, but he appears to have a con- siderable following and confidence in his || eontpel. The question must be decided @ 1o whether it is preferable to under- take to put that down by the exercise of force or to endeavor to placate it by 2 policy of compromise, and that is ap- parently new being faced by those who bave charge of the affairs in India. Ul- timatums have been exchanged Which indicate that compromise is possible from one viewpoint and improbable from another and in the meantime sober sec- ond thought may get in its geod wark, — ALONG THE BORDER. Just at this time when efferts are-be- ing made for a further reduction in the size of the army and when it is being maintained that it would be unwise even under the probable adeption of the new treaties to make serioys inroads Into the standing forces of this country, that re- port which will command at least some attention that is brought back by Ma- Jor General Harbord and Assistant Sec- Tetary Wainwright of the war depart- ment, from a trip along the Mexican hor- der, to the effect at every station along the 7000-mile-long border there were meetings held with the citizens, called by request of the latter, at which there Wwere demands made for the placing more troops along the boundary llne. This reflects the uncertainty which is felt along the border concerning Mexico and the ability of that country to con- trol cenditions there and prevent the people of the United States from suffer- ing at the hands of those who fire or come aecross to commit all sorts of de- predations. Our military establishment is of course not based upomn the Mexican border. There have always been those who have imagined Japan was likely each day to land and army on our Pacific coast. The fact that there were meetings sought at every statlon would indicate an organ- ized_effort for better border protection. It is a matter which will unquestionably recelve attention. Tt Is to be hoped that conditions there will ‘continue to impr quite as rapidly, if not more so, the: have in Mexico In general. With our army down to a skeleton it becomes evident that there is not going to be an abundance of men for any par- ticular locatlon. How much of an in- fluence the border demand will have up- on the further curtailment of the stand- ing army remains to be disclosed but it condltions are Such as to call far the es tablishment of more or bigger garrisons there it would appear that we might well give more attention to those con- ditions south of the border that are re- sponsible for the border uneasiness. SCORE OF DE TS.

FAMOUS TRIALS FAUNTLEROY. The crime of forgery was punishable by death in England up to the year 1837, and there Were many interesting cases during the early part of the last| century, but nono excited the same ount of attention as did that of Fauntleroy, the eminent English banker in 1 The firm with which Fauntle- roy was connetced was considered to be one of the most prosperous in London, and was located at 6 Lombard street. It was on Sept. 6 of the year named that a hard-faced police officer emetc_d the bank parler of the firm and laid his brawny hands on Mr. Fauntleroy's shoulders and apprehénded him on the charge of forging powers of attorney by which he had disposed of close to 2 million dellars’ worth of other people’s Bank of England stock. A palsy of horror swept through the banking district when the following | morning they read in the London Times: Arrest of Mr. Faunteroy, the eminent Lanker, on @ charge of forgery.” z Before Mr. Fauntleroy's trial took place endless ledgers had been conned bankboaks footed up, tin boxes ra ed and stupendous discoveries When the day of the trial arrived. court was full of bankers, merchan: literary men and others Who had bee robbed by Fauntleroy, or had shared h lospitality at his pleasdnt dinner par- ties. The prisoner, with his powdered hair! and dress as immaculate as ever, stood} pale, nervous and humble at the bar.| Fauntleroy had really embezzled about 400,000 pounds, but the Bank of Fng- land prosecuted for ondy 170,000 pounds, which he obtained by forged powers of attorney in the years 1814 and 181 After the grand jury had found true bills the trial was appointed to take place on Oet. 30, 1824. At its opening the reading of the indictments occupied about 20 minutes. The first forgery was that of the name of Frances Young. which s proved beyond a doubt. When the police officer displayed to the court the contents of the two boxes found in the prisoner's house, they contained all the evidence necessary ‘and rendered further exhibition ueeless. The prisoner, on bheing asked what he had to say in his defense read a paper stating that, on his joining the firm in he foundy the concern deeply in- in consequence of building spec- ulations. He showed how ome reverse after the other had come to thé firm, how he had received no relief from hi partners and that he had never embez- zled one shilling. When Fauntleroy finished reading the paper he sat down and wept. A num- ber of witnesses Were called to attest their high opinion of the prisoner's hon- or, integrity and goodness of dispesi- tion. At the conclusion of the evidence the jury retired, and after deliberating 20 minutes they brought in the verdict of “Guilty of uttering the forged in- strument, knowing it to be forged.” Thereupon Judge Park asked the pris- oner to stand up. He addressed him as follows: “Henry Fauntleroy, the attor- {do ney general does not feel it necessary in the discharge of his duty te proceed fur- ther with the other indictments which have been preferred against you. It is no part of my painful duty to promounce the awfpl sentence of the law. That unpleasafit task will devalve upon the learned Recorder at the termination of the sessions; but it is part of my duty as’/a Christian magistrate to implore you now that you bethink yourself seriously of vour latter end.” A convulsive sob from the wretched prisoner was audible throughout the court. There remains a certaln mystery §till shrouded in the great Fauntleroy swindle, It is impossible to eohjecture for what purpose the dishonest banker nreserved im a private box so careful and suicldal g statement of his own mis- doingy, : ‘When Fauntleroy, on the fatal day. presented himself for-execution he was dressed in a black coat and trousers with silk stockings and evening dress shoes. He was perfectly composed. The wretched man never turned his head to the right or left tiill he reached the foot of the steps leading to the scaffold. The moment he appeared a strange thrill went through thousands of heart: The black, dim meb turned White; every hat went off in the twinkle of an eya. n less than two minutes the body of Fauntleroy, the banker, swaved in the murky November afr. READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1981 SPARKLING EYES. “Her eves sparkled with mischief,” writes the novelist. He's trying to read gharecter for vou. He's describing an outward, physical sign to degignate an Imward mental condition. Or, perhaps he says, “Her eyes sparkled with 1 terest” or maybe It was enthusiasm with which he made them sparkle. He has the answer to the sparkiing eve. He speaks a truth from the ar- tistic standpoint, and is but 3 shade off in scinetific accuracy. The point is this. Sparkling eyes da not ' necessarlly denote any particultr one of the things he mentions, but they denote that activitly, rapidity and directness of mental process which we call high intelligence, and which makes possible such things as mischief, keen interest and enthusiasm. Think it over. You never in vour life met a dull-witted person with a sparkling eve. You may have run across the uneducated persons, unlearne: persons, with that peculiar brightneec of eve that is so hard to describe i* any other terms than “sparkling.” But in every case without exeeption, the normal, “bright” eve denotes a keen mind. Of course. drigs will somettmes make the eve shipe. So will \insanity. Bu even the drug-bright eve has a dullness to sheen and there is wildness sane eve. You can't mistake either the of them for the normally bright eve for an instant. Tomorrow Pursed T NCOME TAX FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW T T —— DEPRECIATION DEDUCTIONS.
