LAWYER'S HINTS ON

Berlin,Eccentric sects and ancie. ties are the order of the day in Germany. But the palm must be awarded to the Brotherhood "of Tramps," who met in Stuttgart re- cently for a three day" Congress.”
The pioneer of this movement is Gregor Gog, formerly a missionary and now described as an author. No such movement would be com plete without its newspaper, and Herr Gogg is the publisher of a journal, euphemistically entaled Der Kundu," or The Travelling Journeyman," and devoted to the interests and enlightenment of the
** brotherhood.""
Poetic Alliance,
Nor is Herr Gog it only patron. Peets, publicists, and intellectuals, some of whom are of repute while others roam on the borderland of Communism, are in alliance with Ferr Gog.
Mr. Sinclair Lewis is credited with having extended his blessing to the movement from across the ocean.
The programme of the movement includes work for the recognition of the tramp's status in civilised society, the awakening of the mental powers latent in the way farer, the education of his artistic talents and the improvement of his logic.
Over one thousand "vagabonds" have responded to the summons of Herr Gag and are assembled in Stuttgart. In his opening address Herr Gog denounced the sins of society and contrived to convince the tramps that they are its victimas, and that salvation is to be sought in the brotherhood" Among the other speakers, a lawyer was invited to explain to the "congress the vagrancy laws and the right and wrong mode of intercourse with the police.

Mr. Arthur Williams, "of. Ruthin, said that a clergyman met the man, and entering into conversation with him, remarked: I expect it is the old, old story."
The tramp replied: "Yes, rags and wrong. I don't indulge in in- toxicants or vice,"
Then adding, "You will see what I am," he produced some excellent certiäcates. When asked why he was tramping, he said: "I am a failure in my business. I am a good scholar; but cannot impart my know- ledge to anyone else.'
The other side of the picture was painted by Mr. Hugh Jones, a farmer, of Corwen, who maintained that not ten per cent. of the men tramping the country desired work.

LIMOGES, France, July 6. The next convict ship which leaves the shores of France for the convict settlement of Devil's Island in French Guiana will carry young Charley Baratnud, millionaire and double murderer who has just re- srived a life sentence, much to the disgust of the local populace who wanted his head."

Again and again, to the cry of "Kill him! they attacked the gateway and before the trouble ended the casualties numbered ore hundred, including fifty wounded gendarmes, while about a hundred and fifty people who had been try- ing to force their way inside the prison found themselves clutched and dragged inside to occupy some vacant cells.

MAJORITY VERDICT FOR STOCKBROKERS.
Judgment with costs was given in the King's Bench Division for Messrs. G. E. Secombe and Co., of New Broad-street, a firm of stock brokers, in their action against Ara. Doris White, of "Seacroft," Lans- "downe-road, West Worthing, the widow of Mr. James White, the francier.
Messrs. Secombe and Co. claimed £1,400 158. 7d. and interest repre senting the balance of the price of shares bought by them for Mrs. White as her stockbrokers.
The defence of Mrs. White was that she gave no instructions for the shares to be bought on her behalf, and alternatively that Messrs. Be- combe said that they would put her in a position to make a profit of £50 on the shares, and further, that this was a misrepresentation.
The jury, after an absence of nearly an hour, failed to agree, and the foreman inquired through the Lord Chief Justice whether the par ties would accept a majority ver- diet. This course was agreed to, and the foreman then announced that the majority were in favour of Messrs. Becombe and Co, and a verdict in their favour HDA JEBIBL.

This is obviously a subject that calls urgently for further investige tion, because it is clear that this child died in consequence of being vaccinated.”
These were the words of Mr. In- gleby Oddie, the coroner, at one of two inquests held in London on girls who died after vaccination.
Mr. Oddie was inquiring into the case of Ruby Gill, aged ten, of Portland-place, Clapham-road who was stated by Dr. Baly to have died from

The other case was that of Vera Amelia Smith, aged fourteen, of Byron road, Manor Park whose death was the subject of an inquest at the London Hospital.
