The portrait of Benjamin Franlclin
from the gallery in the Dorchester
House, London, has been vestured 'to
the United States by Earl Gray, gov
ernor general of Canada, and arrived
at New York April 15. The portrait
went to. England during the revolu
tionary period, and became the" prop-,
erty of a great-grandfather of the
present Earl Gray. It had been faken
from the Franklin home in Philadelphia.
The house of representatives has
passed a bill providing that in. all
criminal prosecutions the. United
States shall have the same right of
review that is given to the defendant.
The bill is intended to remedy such
a situation as mat invoiveti in, Lue
beef trust case, . where the govern
ment found it impossible to take. an
appeal. A Washington correspondent
for the Chicago Record-Herald:, re
ferring to this measure says: "If the
senate passes the, bill It will be im
nossible for any of the -lower courts
to declare any - statute invalid or. . de
cide important pleas, such as --those
of the puckers at Chicago, without
having its decision reviewed by a
higher court. The bill is considered
constitutional by the best lawyers in
congress because it safeguards the
rights of the defendant in that it pro
vides that a decision in favor of the
defendant in a lower court c&h not
be set aside on appeal, and therefore
the constitutional provision that "the
defendant shall not twice be placed in
jeopardy will not be ' violated." The
only purpose of the appeal then will
be to obtain a decision from a higher
court on the law. point involved..
