Magistrate to Resign Rather Than Be
 Ruled by Politicians.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Maglstrate E. Gaston Higginbotham of Brooklyn, better known as "the kissing magis- trate," because of the success he has had in patching up domestic troubles aired before him in the Fourth district court of Brooklyn, contemplates resign ing from the bench, and in giving his reasons for deserting judicial position he has held with signal success for five years declares that he cannot stand the constant interference of local politi- clans in the work of his court. He makes serious insintations against certain men downtown" who have been trying to ,stultify the magistrates by having offenders, obviously guilty of violating the law, freed when their cases were before the grand jury or the court of general sessions.
 Magistrate Higginbotham was loath to go into details. but he did say in sub stance that 1t is an impossibility to do justice to all and at the same time please certain politicians. He pointed out that time and again, with every evidence that persons brought before him were guilty of serious offenses be- fore the law, prisoners have been freed by the higher courts. Further than making these insinuations of intolera- ble pressure from downtown" he would say nothing.

It is a trying task, dramatists say, to borrow the plot. the characters, the words from successful piece of tic- tion and present them on the stage before public that already has read critically, the book. Successes among the dramatized novels have been re
 corded, it is true, and unbOunded sue cesses, but the press tell us that for each dramatization staged and herald ed even as mediocre. five have been produced, fayed unmercifully by the critics and have been forgotten. Bet ter keep the characters for us as we knew them in the book. is the pub lies verdict. ''The Education of Mir Pipp" will be seen here for the first time at Poli's Friday evening. It is not an easy task to snatch from the frames, almost, characters as justly famous as the Pipp cartoons and give them to us in flesh and blood. In 'The Education of Mir Pipp" series Mir Gibson has appealed to every Ameri- can in sense to the patriotic in Us, and his cartoons carrying with them the gentle jars to the fads and follies of the title-mad Yankee. are dear to many.
