RUSSIAN JUSTICE
IS VERY SLOW
ST. PETERSBURG, May 19.—The
slow speed gear under which the Su
preme Court of the United States
sometimes operates can scarcely com
pare in effectiveness with that at
tached to the wheels of justice in
Russia. The Senate, which is the
Supreme Court of the empire, after
deliberating on the question for thir
teen years, has just decided that a
Jew named Vaxman may establish a
photograph gallery at Kholm.
It was in 1901 that the photograph
er, who was conducting a studio in
Krasnostav, Poland, asked the gover
nor’s permission to start a branch
shop in the neighboring town of
Kholm. The governor refused on the
ground that Kholm was “an import
ant strategical and religious center
where a Jew would be out of place.”
Vaxman appealed to the Senate, and
both he and the governor filed vol
uminous briefs in support of their re
spective contentions. According to
the belated decision, the governor
acted illegally, and a mandate was
issued permitting Vaxman to begin
business in Kholm at his pleasure.
Court officials sent to serve the
papers, however, have been unable to
locate the photographer, who long ago
moved from Krasnostav. Folks there
do not even know whether he is
alive.
000 SENTENCE
FOOJfllMINAL
SYDNEY, N. S. W., May 19— Crim
inologists in Australia are greatly in
terested in the experimeni of Judge
Eagleson, of the Melbourne county
court, in prescribing a novel form of
punishment for men whose offenses
are due to drink. A young man who
pleaded guilty to embezzlement was
allowed his freedom on condition that
he should make good within two
months the amount stolen, and should
abstain from drinking intoxicants and
gambling “during the rest of his na
tural life.” The slightest infraction
would render him liable to a ten
months’ sentence. A laborer, found
guilty of assault, was released under
similar conditions.
