A Pertinent Inquiry.
What Has Become of the Fraudulent
Voucher Case?

Voucher CaSe7
What has become of the false requi-
sition and fraudulent voucher case, by
which the school funds were illegally
depleted of SIX hundred dollarsq This
sum was not only unlawfully seized
upon, but was taken by sharp prae
tice, in the face of repeated deelara-
tons by Comptroller Tracewell that
no part of the school appropriations
could be legally used for the purpose
to which'this money was applied.
1t has been well said at the Treas
ury Department that if this case goes
unpunished there is little use in hav-
ing Comptroller. or providing safe
guards in the shape of acquisitions
and vouchers, or calling for eertif-
Gates showing that goods have been
received For, if this case is ignored,
any sharper in this District who can
manipulate acquisitions and falsify
vouchers can help himself or his
friends to public moneys without fear
Of punishment.
Our citizens would like to know
what the influences are back of this
case to sidetraek it.
In all the good work that one Com
missioner is carrying on, what blocks
the administration Of justice in this
fragrant ease which falls within The
Jurisdiction of another Commissioner

craps for few cents they are prompt

INTO the workhouse But if, instead
Of dice, one juggles with acquisitions
snd vouchers and diverts public funds
ia illegal uses. and all the facts be
come known, and tie illegality of the
act is shown to be beyond dispute, the
case is allowed to pass with nothing
more than perfunetory comment, Oh
no comment at all The public has {
right to know who is at fault, fol
serious fault there is. Whose Is til,

Queen Alexandra has appointed the
Earl Howe to be her lord chamberlain
in the place OF the late NiscOunt Col
Vile, who died last summer. Lord Howe.
who is an uncle of the Duke Of MARI

title that Is not altogether unknown in
this country For a Viscount Howe serv-
ed as brigadier general in the war Of
independence. and fell at TiconderOga,
while his brother. who succeeded him
in the peerage. had chief command OF
the British forces IN CHS country after
the return OF General Gage. Both of
these generals, as well as their elder
brother. the famous admiral, known
throughout the navy by the name OF

complexion. were reputed grandsons Of
King George 1 and Of that Hanoverian
Countess Kielmansegg, who was Great

AIMS Sister Maud.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
You certainly have amused the people very
much by your problem. How old Is Ann2" A
great many Of my acquaintances had only to
guess the age Of Ann-which, beyond question,
is eighteen-without, perhaps, knowing the
principles Of algebra, by which it could bS
solved.
Now, there is another member Of the same
iamily-a younger sister of Mary, named Maud
and the good people Of Washington should
know her age, also. Mary is twenty-foT years
Of age, and seven and one-half times as old as
Maud when Mary was as old as Maud is
now.

The District Judgeship.
Justice Lays While Politicians Fight

The Constitution of the United
States which has always been held
applicable to the District Of Column
bia-guarantees to every person
charged with criminal offense the
right 10 a speedy trial. In these times
when we a-e accustomed to rapidity
IN all things il can scarce be con-
tended that the incarceration of d
nan in jail for nine months without
giving him the right to be heard in
bis own defense is guaranteeing him
that right which the Constitution as
sures him. Yet there Is such case
in the District Of Columbia, at the
capital Of the nation. A man who
was arrested more than nine months
ago on the charge Of murder lies il,
the District Jail awaiting trial, the
date for which has not been set, and
may not be for months TO come. That
the man Is guilty Is not even conelu-
sive in the public mind, much less in
the eyes Of the law, for there is
rGught but eircumstantial evidence
against him. There are others who
have likewise waited many months
to be heard in court in defense of TIE
charges against them. The criminal
doekets are crowded, yet the wheels
Of justice turn so slowly that it is al
most impossible to see them move.
This condition Of affairs, as every
one knows who knows anything about
the situation, IS produced because
there Is a vacancy upon the District
bcEch. That vacancy exists, as every
che in the District also knows, be
cause several politicians who have nc
immediate interest in the District ri
Columbia other than as a place il
