Flights of prominent n en from St. Louie, i
Minneapolis and other sections 01 me suiir
to Canada recently to escape the conse
quences of criminal acta In the republic
have revived Intercut In the eitradltlon
arrangement between the two countries,

British North Atnorlca and other relation .
of the fugitives from justice to thia aectlon,
says a Toronto dispatch to the Philadelphia
Record.
While the agent of the Baking Powder
trust w seeking a friendly shelter In
Canada from St. Ioula authorities, there
were Americans In Toronto from nearly
very blur city and state of the union here
to keep him company, for the same general
reason.
While twenty years aao Canada was the
mecca of criminals, who were leaving their
country for their country's good, across
tha line, the extradition treaty, negotiated
In 188, was popularly supposed to have
destroyed the Immunity In this line. As
a matter of fact, the community of Inter
act that caused tha two countries to put
up tha bars against crooki who were
taking enforced vacations doea ,not seem
to be of sufficiently broad scope to have
abolished the refuge so much sought by
criminals from all parts of the world.
An amaslng number of grave crimes are
enumerated In the treaty, and the amend
ment consummated lant year does not make
Canada more unhealthy for the fugitive
than formerly.
While Toronto has always been the center
f this foreign colony from the states, curi
ously enough fate has decreed that a man
of the same nationality should be commis
sioned by Canada to handle these fugitives.
Colonel John W. Murray a New York City
product, haa for twenty-eight Jeors been
tha chief of the criminal investigation de
partment for the Ontario government. Of
course, Mr. Murray has long since sought
tha protection of the flag he has done so
much to honor by becoming naturalised.
Terror of All Crooks.
To this ex-American s seal, detective rklU
and alertness do many of the men of his
native country, who thought to aeek a
refuge In Canada and In the metropolis of
Ontario bury the pat, owe their undoing.
During his long canr at the head of this
branch of the government Mr. Murray has
visited every part of the civilised world, in
pursuit of crooks, and knows more cele
brated fugitives than any man In Canada.
Though 7 years of age, he retains his
position In the service and preswveS his
remarkable Intuition for picking out men
with the Indelible marka'of the fugitive
from Justice In their makeup.
"What ta it that leads the men to betray
themselves?" observed Mr. Murray. "I
cannot aay. Perhaps It is the knowledge
they possess that goea with every guilty
conscience that . they are being sought,
together with the fear, forever with them.

and Intelligent -men who : have wrecked

thug and burglar,' who have .wrecked tha
same institutions at night with dynamite,
In tha hope of looting the strong box, seem
to reach about tha aame conclusions,
though from a widely different process of
reasoning. They resort to the same trlcka
to evade the aleuth, and, while one seek
the best resident portion of tha ctty and
the other the slum, therf Is a sameness
about their life from the time they become

Cha.s Their Habits.
"These men change their names, their
physical appearance, and their, clothes,
but they don't seem to be capable of
changing their hablta, and by these they
are inevitably recognised. -1 recall a Cincin
nati bank clerk whom wa found because
of bla Insatiable appetite for tooth-picks
Ha chewed them constantly. He disguised
himself carefully, wore blue goggle and
a wig, but ha could not give up the tooth
picks. Another St. Louis fugitive, a man
of prominence in his state, we located at
the race track. Tha clcular describing Him
concluded with a brief reference to -the
fart that he Invariably attended the race.
I found him in a private box scanning the
fluid lor a horse he waa backing. A Mil
waukee embessler waa described aa a very
devout nutn at home, though It waa added
that this was. perhaps, a blind, and he
could not reaort to it longer, since he Was
. a fugitive from justice; but did not believe
a man could drop thia habit, even though
it had twen assumed In the first place
merely to disguise hi real nature. Good
habits, like bad onea, are equally tena
cious. They can't be dropped In a moment,
and ao we found this fugitive a member
of a little suburban church and a teacher
in the Sunday school.
"Will theae fugitives fight? No, abso
lutely no. In my many yeara' dealing
with thl class of criminals I never knew
but two or three to rVslst when approached
by an officer. I attribute thla common im
pulse to submit quietly to the fact that
they are In a foreign country, unaccus

realise that resistance will make a bad

Toronto bids fair to be deprived of ita
record for harboring fugitives since the
Northwest Territories opened up so prom
isingly.' In' the pat an American' whoso
enforced vacation carried him' Into Canada
naturally sought' Toronto &a the most con
genial, part ot the Dominion. Here . he
found thousand of Americans and a people
differing - In nc way from those he was
acquainted wllh'lh" the Stater. s Thus H wa
no difficult matter to enter business and
find corripanlon. In. Montreal It waa differ
ent, because of the Trench population. A
peraon unfamiliar, with French waa easily
observed and the fugutlve attached more
importance to this phase really than ' It de
served. Qthcr. cities ' more remote prove!
less satisfactory as a residence andToronto
naturally became the select location for
thU class of new cltixens. " Now this class

When a woman marries not of necessity
do her legal troubles begin, but the lsw has
more to say about her than It had before.
Just the reverse of how things were In
former times, says George James Boyles fn
Collier's Weekly. Her lvgal personality at
once develops with her rights, and clever
la the woman who realises Into what a
gToHoua possession she has come.
The law, however, has something to aay
about her being married, and her contract
to marry, as It Is called, and It la with this
contract that the legal features of the do
mestic relations of woman rightly begin.
This contract to marry Is In Its nature a
mutual agreement between a man and a
woman to marry each other or to become
husband and wife at a future time, and
must satisfy all legal requirements the
same aa other contracts. No express form
of words Is required, as It need only appear
that both the man and the woman under
atood It to be an offer of marriage which
was accepted. The promise of a man to
marry a certain woman "If, he married any
one," haa been held void both because It i
too Indefinite and because It operatea-vir-tually
aa a restraint upon marriage The
fact that a man haa already promised to
msrry someone that Is. is engsged to be
marrlod does not affect hla capacity to
promise to marry someone else. There
must be a definite acceptance of the offer
or promise. While a woman Is not bound
to ' disclose anything concerning herself,
except her physical unfitness for marriage,
yet any false representations made by her,
or 'on her behalf with her knowledge, for
the purpose of deceiving the n an, will con
stitute a fraud, and the man'a promise Is
not binding, whether stich false representa
tlona relate to the woman'a social position
and fortune or to her character
Right to Support.
A normal feature of the married state is
th support of the wife by the husband.
S'ich a right to aupport results naturally
from the more dependent position of a
woman In married life, removed aa she la,
to a greater or less extent, from the oppor
tunities of earning a livelihood by her own
exertions, even though such opportunities
are rapidly Increasing In our free American
life. As, however, married men do not suf
ficiently realize this obligation of support,
legislation has developed which defines with
greater, or less detail the legal right of a
wife to support during marriage. Very
nearly all the states at the present time
have embodied In the statute law some spe
cific recognition of the right of a married
woman to support out of the property of
her husband, and the exceptlona appear to
be the atates of Alabama, Arkansas. Cali
fornia, Idaho, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Wyoming.
It is a general rule throughout the United
States at the present time that a married
woman may receive, receipt for, hold, man
age, dispose of, lease, sell and convey, de
vise or bequeath her separate property,
both real and personal, as if sole, without
Joining with or receiving tho consent ot het
husband. She may generally make contracts
and Incur liabilities aa if sole in the greater
number of states. There are, however, cer
tain limitations to these rights defined in
the statute law. So, In the state of Geor
gia, any restrictions upon such powers of
the wife made in a marriage contract must
be complied with. By the Louisiana law
a" wife, even when ahe Is separate In es
tate, can not alienate, grant or mortgage
her property unless her husband concura
In the act or yields his consent in writing.
States la Vanguard.
In the atates of Oregon and Washington,
which have been In these respects the most
radical In , legislation., all lawa which im
pose or recognise civil disabilities upon a
wife which are not imposed or recognized
as. existing on the husband, except aa to
voting and holding public office, have been
repealed. The state of Mississippi has
enacted, "That the common law aa to the
disabilities of married women, and it effect
on th right and property of the wife. Is
totally abrogated, and marriage shall not
be held to Impose any disability or inca
pacity on a woman, aa to the ownership,
acquisition or disposition of property or
any part, or aa to her capacity to make
contracts and do all things which she could
do in reference to property. If unmarried."
A married woman may, in most atates,
prosecute and defend suits at law concern
ing her own property, aa if sole. But let
this never encourage women to try to be
their own lawyers.
By the lawa of the state of New York
and Weat Virginia a married woman own
ing stock tn an Incorporated company may
vote at an election of offlcera by proxy or
otherwise. In Pennsylvania a married
woman may sell and transfer shares of
railroad atock a If sole, and substantially
the same rights exist In California and the
Dakota. At the common law a married
woman could not appear by an attorney
In a suit unless he were appointed to serve
by her husband, and therefore her con
tract to pay counsel fees was absolutely
void. Under the usual statutes, however,
that authorise a married woman to enter
into contracts gen-rally, there aeema to be
no reaaon why an ahould not contract for
counsel fees. Whether, when she may
employ legal counsel, she binds herself
personally or blnda only her property,
seems to be an unsettled question.
Exesnattoas frosa Execatloa.
There Is a certain' kind of property of a
woman often spoken of In law aa "para
phernalia" and which In the states of
Rhode Island, Colorado, Georgia and
Louisiana ia not subject to the debts nor
the control of the husband. Such property
consists of wearing apparel of herself and
of her children, of her ornaments suitable
to her station in life, her watch and Jew
elry, sliver and table ware and generally
all such article as have been given to her
for her own use and comfort.
To that kind of .property known gener
ally aa earnings the product of Industry
the married woman of the United States
now has an absolute right in nearly all of
the states and such a light could now be
questioned only where the principles of
the old civil law remain, aa In Louisiana,
Arisona and New Mexloo.
There is In many of the atatea a certain
process by which a married woman can be
come a sole trader, as it Is called, and
carry on a business entirely apart from her
husband. She ia then called a sole trader
In the statea of Pennsylvania, California,
Idaho and Montana, a free trader tn North
Carolina and Georgia, a free dealer in
Florida, and a public merchant in Lou
isiana. In several atatea some of these
privileges are extended to her without
formalities of any kind. Thua a woman
may carry on any bualnesa or trade or
perform ary labor or services in her sol
and separate account, and her earn
ings are her sole and separate
property, and may be used and
invested In her cwn name, by the laws of
Nw York. Indiana, Kansa, Nebraska, Vir
ginia, West Virginia, Arkansas., Colorado
and Wyoming. In a few of th atates not
every married woman has lbs )tj privi
lege of becoming a aole trader. Thua. In
Pennsylva la a married woman ran secure
the privilege only when her husband Is
atiaent at see. end In Callforrla only when
her husband fall to support her or when
there Is ground for a suit for divorce.
When a married woman Is recognized as
a sole trader she Is not confined to any
partlculsr trade. She may engage not only
in washing, sewing, dreesmsklng. millinery,
In operating a dairy, a boarding house, a
grocery or provision store, but she may be
a farmer, a miller, aa army sutler, a saloon
or tavern keeper, a clothier, a dealer In
metal Junk; she may work a mine or
quarry, or carry on a lumber business.
Hi
In nearly all of the states It is expressly
enacted that a married woman of full age
and sound mind may devise her separate
real, or personal property by an ordinary
will, without the husband' consent as If
sole. Where this is not expressly declared
to be the law, it 1 generally implied if
there la no provision to the contrary.
One of the most satisfactory develop
ments o the legal condition of American
women is the use of mothers equally with
fathers In the guardianship of minor chil
dren. Still this use obtains at the present
time In only seven of the states namely,
Colorado, Kansaa. Maine. Nebraska, New
York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. In
the other states the preference Is still given
to the father. While there Is the usual
diversity of provisions -In the statutes of
the various atates, the tendency In legis
lation Is rwn to be In favor of giving wo
men equal rights In guardianship, and It
may be safely said that the great Influence
of the courta Is being exerted In their favor.
