He quoted Drecedents and said that the

bear out his contention.

trict Attorney. contended that proper
Interpretation OF the code would give
each side ten challenges.
Accused of Quibbling.
Homes Conrad. who. with Charles J.
Bonaparte was engaged as special at
torney for the prosecution OF the POST
office cases. made a strong address to
the court against the defense being al
lowed fifty challenges. He said the ques-
ton had been argued for DAYS in the
famous Star Route cases Of thirty years
ago. and II was settled practice. as well
as the law. 10 limit the number OF chaI-
lenges to ten on each side. no matter
how many accused persons We're on
trial
He said that certainly no United States
court in radius OF 800 miles OF Wash
ingtOn would think Of allowing the de-
fense fifty challenges under the circum-
stances. and said tire defendants at
torneys We're quibbling
c. A. Douglass closed for the de-
fense by asserting that the practice was
entirely different from that described
by the prosecution. and that the plain
meaning OF the District code was that
each defendant should have the right TO
protect his or her interests to the full
est. having ten challenges each.
Nay Note Exception.
In settling the question Justice Pritch-
ard decided the defendants should be
treated as one; under the law the point
could not be reserved unless the de-
fense exhausted its ten challenges. Mr..
Douglass said he did not wish 10 preju-
dice his case by apparently making an
eleventh challenge for the special pur-
pose Of making an exception.
An effort was made 10 have the
Government agree 20 allow the point
10 be reserved without waiting for the
eleventh challenge. but Mr.. Conrad de-
murred, and the work Of drawing the
jury began.
An Important Point.
This decision in regard 70 challenges
was the only point raised. and the only
business Of Importance transacted ex-
cept the selecting OF jurors. The deci-
sion is significant. as others Of the per-
sons arrested in connection with the
Postoffice scandals are 10 be tried for
conspiracy. and should Justice Pritchard
be sustained. it Will be a blow TO the
attorneys. who have been hoping TO get
a jury 20 their liking by the use of an
excessive number of challenges. and it

before in Washington

NIGHT SCHOOLS VITAL
TO CITY'S WELFARE
Board of Education, Teachers, and Pupils Plead for
Its Continuance and Repeal of Age Limit

ously to gain It. The teachers are com>
PEELED to give him individual attention.
inasmuch as he is not fitted to enter
any class in the school
Innumerable pathetic cases present
themselves even to visitor. This was
more noticeable before the age limit
was fixed. and it was a familiar sight
to see men and women of thirty-five
and forty years working industriously
over questions and problems that al
most any child could master.
The officials of the schools declare
the fixing of an age limit is not only
drawback TO hundreds of persons. but
a stain upon the Capital of the ma
tion. Many persons who formerly at
tended the night classes were men and
women who, through various reasons,
were unable in their youth to obtain
even an elementary education and TO
whom the night schools were, in con-
sequence. a boon. They are now for
hidden to enter the classes and must.
unless other means present themselves,
go through life with the smattering of
English, spelling and mathematics they
have scraped up.
Remove Age Limit.
In the interest Of good citizenship. If
school board believe the age limit should
be removed. When men and women
who have reached the age Of even twen-
ty-five realize they are in need of
common knowledge, and when they have
the courage to Join classes with little
children whose entire lives are before
them, then the board urges that this
spirit should be encouraged, and these
persons allowed TO learn to spell. to
read, and write. and TO gain such small
knowledge of the English grammar as
the night classes permit.
Congress will, of course, be appealed
to in the interest of men, women, and
children seeking and craving education
and deprived of attending the regular
day schools in the necessity for earning
a pittance for existence. The Board of
Education and every citizen of the Dis
trict is anxious that an increased ap-
preparation may be given and the age
limit of twenty-one years removed.

Il do not see how she can entirely

will have to aid Japan. If Russia should
