Inauguration Day.
From the Brooklyn Eagle, March 8.
IN,

From the Brooklyn Eagle March 8.
The movement toschange the date of our
presidential inaugurations from March
to some time in the9latter part Of April is
being generally encouraged.
Here is a proposal which is eminently
sane. II there is q more uniting season
than the early part of March for great
public event which Is largely an outdoor
spectacle then the people who have sur
vived pneumonia and colds and chilblains
and tonsil,tis and grip caught while watch
ing the induction Of President will please
to step forward and say so. Supposing
Tor instance. that an Inauguration were
impending now, tomorrow being the 4th OF
March, what guarantee have the past
twenty-four hours given US OF rational
weather to come? We have had heavy
rain and snow and high winds and cloudy
skies and a little sunshine and less star
1ght. somewhat unsettled conditions'
aren't they? Not even sentimental rea-
sons should prevent Congress from making
a change In dates. Our first President was
not f4augurated until the 3Oth OF April, al
though the new Constitution had gone into
enect on the first Wednesday in March
to be urged against the proposed reform
then the suggestion that inaugurations be
hereafter deferred until the anniversary or
Washington's installation should surely
have weight. A stin better idea, however,
Is embodied In the proposal to make the
last Thursday in April Inauguration day:
under this arrangement the possibility OF
the Inauguration date being coincident with
Sunday Is obviated.

RUSSELL UNDER BONDS.
Held for Action Of Grand Jury fol
Shooting Alice THOMPSON.

James E. Russell. the watchman EN-
ployed by the health department to guard
smallpox cases. who was arrested yester-
day afternoon for shooting Alice Thomp-
son, a colored girl employed at 1909 D
street northwest, was arraigned this MORN
ing before Judge kimball and held for the
action of the grand jury under $500 bonds.
The Thompson girl appeared in court
with her face bandaged, but the wound is
not considered dangerous. The circum-
stances Of the shooting, as related in yes
terday's Star, show that Russell had been
detailed to guard the premises at 400 18th
street northwest, where a smallpox case
had been discovered some time ago. The
patient having been removed the house
was still under quarantine, and when Rus
sell saw several inmates attempting, as he
believed, to escape over the rear fence. he
drew his revolver and fired In their direc-
tion. one OF the bullets striking the Thomp-
son girl.
The girl was taken to the Emergency
Hospital, where the wound was dressed,
and she was permitted to go to her home
within a few minutes thereafter
Russell had been relieved about two
hours before the shooting, 1t is said, and
was not on duty when It occurred.

LAST OF PUTS AND CALLS.
Supreme Court Decision so Accepted in
Illinois.

CHICAGO, March 4.-The decision of the
United Stat Supreme Court upholding the
Illinois law against trading in puts and
calls is freely commented upon by members
of the board of trade.
A. V. Booth the member who loses his
case, said: 1T appears to be all of with
private trading in Illinois, although 1t Is
still legal in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mis-
souri, and New York. The larger markets
in all these states have put and call
trade. The only thing now is for some in
terested parties to take steps to have the
Illinois law repealed. Whether this would
be done or not 1 cannot say. Certainly
there will be no trading of this charac cter
in Illinois, where the penalty runs up to
81 ,G3a with imprisonment from one to five
years.
Vice President Adams Of the board of
trade was glad the cOnSttutiOnality of the
la had been passed on and upheld.
so far as l know" he said, "the board
of trade would not oppose the repeal of the
law against puts and calls, but so long
as it is on the books the members Of the
board must observe it.
Prior to the campaign against private
trading made by President Warren of the
board Of trade two years ago. says the
Tribune, the violation Of the Illinois law,
which for a number of years had been a
dead letter on the statute books. was open
and general. When, however, the board of
trade ruled against puts and calls in this
market far as it's own membership was
commemorative plan OF transferring the scene
of operations to Milwaukee was devised.
The base, however, remained in Chicago,
although gradually the business fell into a
disrepute which materially restricted it's
volume. There was a dislike on the part of
n majority of the membership to evade the
Illinois law or the rules of the board OF
trade by wiring the orders to Milwaukee
and having them executed there, for which
reason the practice fell off until now the
volume of put and call business originating
here, according to Mr.. Booth, Is cOmpara-
tiyely small,

TO PRESERVE RIGHTS
MINISTER LEIsHMAN'S DEMAND
ON TURKEY.
INQUIRY Will Be Made Into the Cir
cumstances of Miss Stones
Case.

n Is said at the State Department that
the attitude Of Mr. Leishman, the tnlteo
States minister TO Turkey, Is nabie 10 De
misunderstood owing to the breVlty OF the
cable report that he has preferred de-
mapd ,Inon Turkey in the case OF MISS
stone The understanding here is that
apr action IN that line that Mr.. Lelshmal'
may have taken is rather in the line OF
saving all future rights rather thah the
submission Of an unqualified demand Tor
tho nunfshnent Of the brigands ana re-
peyment of the indemnity given 10 'he

has been or will be filed with the Bull
garian government.
Merely to Save Rights.
Tho ,ep,l effect Of this action is simply
to save all rights against either of these
,ovsrproerts or against both of them pend
ing the conclusion of the exhaustive In
cnirv which the State Department is max
ing through it's minister and other agents
into Miss stones case When that inquiry
IL concluded it is hoped that the depart
ment will be i'm position to squareiy place
the responsibility for the kidnapping
When able to do that time will be lost
in pressing the claim both for punishment
OF the perpetrators of the outrage and fol
the repayment of the ransom. Meanwhile
acting under instructions of the State De-
partment. Mr. Leishman will prefer no
specific claim against either Turkey OF
Bulgaria.
Bulgaria and Turkey.
1t is probable that the department will be
hampered in it's efforts to secure repara-
tfon by the peculiar political relations ex-
listing between Turkey and Bulgaria and
the consequent inability to determine the
exact measure of responsibility of Turkey
for Bulgarian shortcomings, should 1t be
found that the Bulgarian government is
itself responsible for Miss Stones capture
That question is now being carefully ex-
rainty over Bulgaria is an important ele.
ment in the calculation.
The Turkish Minister'S Comment.
The Turkish minister, Chekib Bey, wher
asked today concerning recent press dis
patches from Constantinople to the effec,
that the Stone abduction case was likely t:
have a sequel in the presentation of strong
representations by the United States tC
Turkey, for payment Of indemnity, said
that although he was without official infor
nation on the subject, he was fully con
vinced that the reports were groundless as
II had been established, he said, that the
affair was one in which Bulgaria, and moi
Turkey was concerned The minister
shows no concern over the reports, anG
says they are so contrary to all the ante
