THE APPOINTMENT OF THE
NEW JUDGE

is real rcireShmcnt to find a man
L now and then, big enough and
strong enough. to be able to bury
out OF sight any little remnant OF per-
sonal irritation or merely partisan pre-
objections; and to act according to the
dictates OF a sound and wise Judgment.
The mere fact that Governor Warfield
is a Democratic Executive shall not
blind us to the further fact that he has
proven such a man in his attitude to-
ward the appointment OF a successor
to the late Judge Martin. Neither par
tisan pleading. nor the Subtler and
sometimes stronger appeal to personal
feeling. could carry him away from his
determination to make Mr. William II.
Adkins that appointee. The leaders OF
the organization forces reminded the
Governor that Mr.. Adkins had not been
always regular that he had at times
dared be independent enough to cast
his vote outside the list OF party num-
nees. Nay, they let the Governor know
that Mr. Adkins had even failed to sup
port Edwin Narfield himself in the last
campaign and was credited with hay
ing voted for Mr. Stevenson \. Will
hams OF the opposition. This could
not have been pleasant information t.
either Governor Warhcld's party or
personal pride. But it, OF course. had
no bearing whatever on Mr.. Adkins
judicial fitness, and with Singc-mind.
ed and high minded determination to LEI
such fitness be the sole dictator OF his
appointment, Mr.. Warfield made Mr.
Adkins his final choice. That sort o
thing calls Tor strong and jubilant com.
mendation from all right thinking citi.
zens and we are going to be amongst
those who hasten to commend Ii thi,
is a new departure in Maryland poll

EXPENSES ARE CUT.
INCREASED SEVERITY OF BREAD
 LINE REGULATIONS.
Able-Bodied Men Applying Gets Oner of Employment and Women nre
 Compelled to Prove f DesfftuftOn.

San Francisco. May S.--with the in- creasing severity of the regulations surrounding the bread lipe.'' General Greedy has hapes of soon eliminating from the relief lists a large percent ast of the people who are now recelv- ing free food supplies.
 It is becoming more difficult every day for able-bodied men to secure their army ration. When a heal y-appear- ing man presents himself for food he Is frequently confronted by an offer of employment, and if he refuses to engage in the proffored work he is de- nieG relief.
 All the women must prove beyond doubt that they are in need of assist ance. Tickets good TOT only a few days food are furnished them and at the expiration of the privilege they must again demonstrate their destitu- ton before aid Is given them. Already there is a big decrease in the daily out put of supplies and the officials expect that by June 1 their abors in this direction will be practically ended
 It is anticipated that when the sav- ings banks are opened for payments to small depositors, there will be fur fher lessening of the men and women who are now forced to ask for their sustenance from the stations

THE NAVAL BILL DAY
DIFFICULTY OF SECURING ENLIS-
 TED MEN DISCUSSED.
Location of Training stations, Cost of smokeless Powder and Unnec- essary Exiendlture for Claims
 Debated In House.

Washington, May s.-The House of Representatives devoted the day to the naval appropriation bill and accom- plished the reading for amendmentot or the first fifteen pages.
 During this time several topics mel dent to the measure were discussed including the difficulty of obtaining enlisted men in the navy. the location of the naval training station on the great lakes, the cost of smokeises pow der and finally the unnecessary ex- penditure of S100,000 a year for chains for ships. This last matter was un- der consideration when the House ad- journed
 Representatives Loud of Michigan and Grosvenor of Ohio, offered amend ments providing that the purchase or such supplies as chains. anchors. cor daee, etc, shall hereafter be by the competitive bid process.
 Representative Rixey. of virginia. was unsuccessful in getting an amend ment. through limiting to sixty cents pound the amount which may be ex- pended for smokeIess powder. He stat ed that the price now paid was % cents a pound, but that the Inquiry made by the naval committee showed that it actually cost but thlrty-five cents to manufacture the powder. The. amy appropriation bill was sent to conference with all the Senate amend ments disagreed to.
 The house adjourned at 2 o'clock.

CHURCH UNION DISCUSSED.
Spirited Debate By Delegates To c,
 RreRatiOual Meeting.

Chicago. May S.-A proposed union of the Congregational Church with that of the United Brethern and the Meth dist Protestant Churches was the subject of a spirited discussion by delegates to the general Congrega- tional meeting in Oak Park today.
 The radical congregationalists op- rosed anything that would tend to encroach upon freedom of thought and action in the local councils. The more conservative delegates held that a uni form method of cooperation in Con gregstional church work was needed. A resolution was made which provided for union of the churches along gen. eral lines, but with some we'll defined restrictions.
 A report was read by Rev. w P. Bar ton on changes needed in congrega- tional policy was adopted The Rev Washington Chote, corresponding sec retary, spoke of The achievements of eighty years" He commenced hIs ad- dress by a summary of the condition of the Congregational Church in this country eighty years ago by saying that at that time but 169 missionaries lsbored In the home mission field and at the present time they numbered g. 03S and these cover more than 4.000 frontier points.

MErcALF TELLS OF FRISCO.
Says the Reports of Devastation Have
 Not Been ExaxgerSted.


 Washington, May S.-Secretary Met calf of the Department of Commerce and Labor. returned to Washington to- day from San Francisco At the cabi- net meeting this afternoon he discussed the situation in San Francisco with the President and his fellow members.
 Secretary Metcalf explained to the President and Cabinet that the reports of the devastation wrought by the earthquake and fire were not exag- gerated, and that the work of relief necessarily must continue for some time. He was emphatic in his com mendation of E. H. Hartman of the Southern Pacific who, he said, person. ally was on the ground and in addi- ton to affording the facilities of his road, had given largely Cf his personal funds and assisted otherwise in the work of relief
 It was proven concIusively. he said. that steel structures had withstood the earthquake shocks and that granite under intense heat was practically worthless. Another point which. he said, impressed him considerably was the fact that. the situation disclosed a less proportion of poor persons in San Francisco than generally had been supposed. It was found that there was on deposit on the day of the calamity in savings banks over s165, 100000, or an average of $500 per capita for every citizen of the city.

MANN MAKES POINTED STORY.
scathing Criticism of the President B;
 Illinois Member.

Washington, May s.-Representative Mann of Illinois today told the House story which members quickly &C., knowledged touched their hearts.
 The climax was criticism on the President, who. he said, in one breath issued pronunciamento for the rais- ing of large families, and in the next proclaimed mandatory order forbid ding the discharge of any young man from the navy unless he was physi- cally or other wise incapacitated.
 The pointedness of the story was the record of a recent case which Mir. Mann had dealt with concerning family of eight children. the father a cripple. the mother with a babe in arms. and the oldest son, boy of 20 in the navy. The only other bread winner was a boy who earned 8 a week MT. Mann presented to the Secretary of the Navy the appli- cation of this family for the discharge of the boy from the navy that he might help in its support. He read the re- ply of the Secretary, who regretted his inability to make the discharge in the face of the Presidents mandatory order
 If the Presidents advice with refer ence to large families was to be fol- lowed, MT. Mann thought 1t decidedly necessary that no hindrance to the sup port of such families should be made by a Presidential order. Asked what he proposed to do to remedy the situa- ton, he declared he was far too famil- far with the rules of the House to ''un- dertake any such enterprise"
 Representative Stanley of Kentucky contended that too much enthusiasm seemed to permeate recruiting officers of the navy.

KAIzER TO VISIT FRANZ JOSEF.
Visit of William Is the Cause of Much
 Speculation.

Vienna, May S.-The news of Emper- or Williams forthcoming visit to Elm peror Francis Joseph occasions much comment in political circles here, which attribute it entirely to. the Moroccan conference. It is especially empha- sized that the visit is due to Emperor Williams initiative, who in a letter to Emperor Francis Joseph expressed his appreciation of Austria Hungary's at titude at AlReciras, adding that he wished to pay a personal visit to the Emperor. The latter, replying. ex- pressed the pleasure 1t would afford him to receive his friend and ally.
 The newspapers here discuss the po- litical cahracter of the approaching meeting of the two Emperors at con- siderable length. The Neue Freie Presse suggests that the visit Is in tended as a visible sign of solidity and durability of the Austro-German alli- ance. Emperor William Is expected to arrive in Vienna the morning of June h. and to leave the following eveniN ;. He will stay at Schoenbrun palace.
