IT is a good sign to those who take
an interest in the preservation of game
and insectiverous birds to see the au-
thorities moving against them in the
cities. A bill of over million of dol
lars has been introduced against the
Arctic Freezing Company from New
York for violating game laws. A New
York paper says:
Ex-Judge W. NJ. X. Olcott, of coun-
sci for the Game Warden in a case
against the Arctic Freezing Company
said last Thursday that the total pen
atty to be assessed against the COM
pany for having game birds out of
season in its possession was 81. 1917, 900.
This amount is made up of $50 for
each time birds were found in the cold
storage plant on separate days during
the search and fine of $25 for every
bird kept there i'll violation Cf the
Safe game laws.
The case is the first brought against {
storage warehouse under the present
law and will be regarded as test case
1t is expected that it will come to tria
next month. The seized birds ar'
being kept on ice and watched over by
the Game Warden.

An exchange in speaking of the
Court of Inquiry says: "The Schley-
Sampson Court of Inquiry should
never have been held. 1t will do no
good and no matter how the contro-
versy ends will leave but bitter feeling
after it. The public will form an opin-
ion and not even the findings Of the
court of Inquiry will change their
opinion. There should have been
glory enough for both the Admirals
and their friends In the glorious vic
tory at Santiago. 1t is a mistake to
have two Admirals or Generals who
are at loggerheads with each other
come in contact in the performance of
their duty. What good will this Board
of Inquiry do? It's pity that Con
gress and the President should hav,
permitted the farce to go on.

Welsh Bros Show Proves to Be More Than
it Is Claimed to Be.
Large and enthusiastic audiences
greeted the Welsh Brothers circus
yesterday afternoon and evening on
the grounds at Elm and Grant streets.
The show came to Youngstown a stran-
ger but left town last night with good
record and will surely be the recipient
of immense patronage on future Wis
it's. From beginning to end the per-
formance is first-class and contains
nothing commonplace or inferior.
The clever cake walking and dane
ing horses presented by Prof. and
Madame Royal, the Del Sabos, mar
velous aerialists, Madame Yucca, the
female Sandow, who lifts live horse,
weighing 400 pounds; Max Hugo
(Barnum & Bailey's CLOWN, and the
wonderful cOntortionism of Sylvester,
are features that cannot be duplicated
by any of the big shows that charge
more admission. Probably the feat
ure of the show is the Takezawa Jap
aneze troupe, who appear in many
amazing acts. The show is handled
by clever men and is free from any
Objectionable features.
The Welsh Brothers shows are q

should happen to visit and they will

IS ABOUT as large as the boats of the Iron
steamboat and Starin lines, and is intended
Tor substantially the same sort of work
On her trial trip the King Edward re.
corded twenty and half knots an hour.
This was nothing remarkable although II
was better than the speed of other steam
ers of the same class on the CLYDE. Part
OF the gain, too, was attributable to her
me model. Still, the engines were de-
signed to have only moderate capacity
The indicated horse power during her trial
was 5000 The Viper probably has from
one-hfth to one-tenth the displacement Of
the King Edward. and yet during her
famous squirt her turbines developed be-
tween 1l,OO0 and 1900 horse poweri 1t
would have been possible to get much
greater speed out Of the new vessel by CIV
Ing her more powerful engines. The differ

and the Deutschland, for instance is large
~ accounted for by these figures: The for
mer displaces 2S50O tons and her engines
displaces 23,620 tons and has engines whose
maximum capacity is $4,000 horse power
The particular advantages possessed by
the steam turbine are that it occupies less
space than q reciprocating engine Of the

struction, It Is less liable to break down.

traits. On the other hand, there is some
doubt about the fuel economy. In the
earlier trials Of the Viper 1t was suspected
that she burned more coal than she ought
to have done. And. though the captain OF
the King Edward declares that he did not
use fuel extravagantly during his official
as Admiral Melville of the United States
navy has pointed out, q special style Of
propeller is required on account of the ex-
ceptional rotary speed OF the shafts.
Hence It would not be as easy to replace q

drawback this is likely to prove For these
and other reasons. therefore, II Will take
months to determine the qualities of the
new steamer distinctly. 1t is not likely that
other vessels of her size will be equipped
with similar engines until definite Informal

LITTLEFIELD ON INSULAR CASES.
Maine Representative Crftfcfses De.
cisiOn of Supreme Court

c1s1On OF supreme Court.
dispatch from Denver, Col, last night
says: 1t has been decided by the general
council Of the American Bar Association
that women are ineligible for membership
in the association under the present con-
stitution. This decision was reached in
the case Of Mrs. Jane B. OFT Of Iowa, who
had applied for membership. The council
was almost evenly divided on the question.
1t was decided finally to let the matter go
over year and then take up the aues-
ton OF appointing committee to draft an
amendment to the constitution which will
make women eligible.
A feature Of the morning session today
Of the American Bar Association was the
annual address, which was delivered this
year by Representative Charles +. Little
field Of Rockland, Ne.
Mr.. Littlefield spoke on the "Insular
Cases." These cases, he said, considered
in the manner in which the results were
reached, the inccngruity Of the results and
the variety Of the inconsistent views exc
pressed by the different members Of the
court, ARE without parallel in our Judi
cial history"
Taking up the first case, known as De
Lima against Bidweli, stating the opinion
the same, the speaker said Justice Brown
did not announce the conclusion and judg-
ment Of the court, affirming the Judgment
Of the court below, but rendered one Of his
own. Referring to the opinions Of jus
tices White, Shiras and McKenna In the
same case, the speaker said:
Technically speaking, there Is no opin-
lon OF the court to sustain the Judgment.
III the Dooley case {known as Dooiey
against the United States) is controlled by
the Downes cases." said Mr.. Littlefeid,
there would seem to be no good reason
why 1t should not have been decided. That
1t was not raises the inference that It
would be decided adversely to the govern
ment or that there was a greater differ
ence OF opinion than usual with reference
to It. Mr.. Justice Gray Is the only one
who indicates his position In this case"
Mr. Littlefield considered the other cases
which had been passed upon, and said that
in the unsettled condition Of the cour. 1t
to the result of those cases.
His conclusion to Porto Ricos status
is briefly: so far as the operation Of the
Constitution was concerned this territory
was to all legal intents and purposes q
part OF the United States. 1t matters not
how the Constitution reached the terri
tory, so far as this case was concerned
so long as Ii was there
Mr.. Littlefield next discussed the thir-
tenth amendment to the Constitution as
1t had been construed by the Supreme
Court In re Porto Rico and the Philippines.
He quoted the amendment ard gave his
tory of the case. Then he said. referring
to slavery as 1t existed in the United
States: 1.-The negro cannot be driven out
Of the south. He Is vastly the superior OF
the Filipino physically. and until tie Phil
ippines produce a Fred Douglass or q
Booker T. Washington he has nothing to
fear in an intellectual comparison.

MEDICATION FOR L'ENFANT.
The French Engineers Plans for q
Great Capital to he Realized.

From the Anaconda Standard.
One hundred and ten years ago an ambf-
tious French architect spent six months or
more studying with patient diligence the
site Of the present city OF Washington. 1t
was a wilderness then, barren and repul-
sive, but within the vision Of genius it was
pregnant with dazzling possibilities. Maj.
Charles LEnfant was a genius, and In his
fertile mind grew the picture of the most
beautiful city in the world.
At the time that he was tramping the
Georgetown hills the young republic con-
sisted Of only thirteen states. with popu-
lation of but 100000 people. Should he
build for them alone? His answer was one
Of magnificent prophecy. With prophetic
insight, rare in that day and generation.
he saw in the future mighty republic
Of fifty states and 10000 600 people, and
he builded for them.
Taking Capitol Hill as q center, no laid
out magnificent avenues radiating across
q checker-board OF streets. Ample provi-
sions were made FOR public parks and gar
dens. He chose the sites Of the department
buildings. All the principal points were
brought into direct connection, opening up
beautiful yistas to the eye, every point of
view ending In some monumental ediftce.
He fashioned In his mind the most beautI-
ful city In the world.
A storm of cruel ridicule was his reward
when his plans were made public. A quar-
rel with the building commissioners fol-
lowed, and his position was taken away
from him. His successor was forced to
adopt the main outlines of L'Enfant's plans.
The old major, veteran OF the revolution
airy war. lived until 1926 watching with
the Jealous yet pathetic solicitude of a par
ent the slow fruition Of his work.
A few years ago commission was APP
pointed to devise plan for the systematic
identifying Of the national capital. Hun
dreds of plans were studied and months
spent In visits to the capitals Of Europe.
The result Is the tardy but complete vindi-
cation OF L'Enfant. The eminent architects
who compose the commission say: 1--WE in
tend to go back to the plan made by LEN
FAINT" Nothing better could be found or
devised.
No monument has ever been raised to the
memory Of Americas first and greatest ar
chitect. Ridicule and MISUNDERSTANDING
were the reward Of genius. But now. after
the passing Of century. the most beauti-
full city in the world will be a magnificent
memorial to his prophetic imagination.
