According to the decision of the New York
Court of Appeals, George w. Perkins was not
guilty of grand larceny in taking funds of the
New York Life Insurance Company of which
he was a high official, and contributing them to
political purposes. 1t was narrow call in the
higher court, a vote of to 3. and Mr.. Perkins
can congratulate himself upon having such
narrow escape from falling into the clutches of
the law.

CHILD LABOR A NATIONAL ISSUE.

THERE is objection to the proposed
\ tional child labor law on the ground that
il interieres with the rights OF the States Should
some States adopt stringent child labor laws
and others do not, those which have the provis-
ions will naturally clamor for Congress to adopt
national law. Tn Massachusetts, for instance,
with child labor laws the manufacturers would
be in competition with. say for example, South
Carolina, where the children are exploited in the
newly-started factories That is where the pinch
comes. Thus, the nation grows industrial
States come into conflict with each other and
hence there are appeals to the national authority.
The general governments activity will be con-
tinually expanding in more ways than one.

William J. Wilgus vice-president and chief
engineer of the New York Central Railroad Com
pany, before the State Railroad Commission OF
New York, which is investigating the fatal wreck
the Harlem road few weeks ago admitted
that in the tests OF electric locomotives there has
been noted a tendency to cause the rails to
spread when running at high speed that heavy
electric train had been known TO move the entire
track lateraly on a curve. This is a new peril
in travelling electric railways that so at avery
high speed and evidently the electric road cngi-
neers will have a problem to solve before any
rapid transit upon them can be made with
safety.

Hastings tomorrow for New York
City, the shipper being Mr.. \. D.

ping potatoes in carload lots for
years and in train loads also. but with
perishable vegetables like lettuce the
shipments have been few and light.
Last summer corn was shipped in car
load lots, the first car coming to the
Transfer Company Of this city, but
following that shipment many solid
cars OF corn and hay We're hauled out
of Hastings. Now Hastings comes ro
the front aEain with fuTthcir evidence
of the diversified farming in that soc

means many thousand heads. ant
this shipment is but a fraction OF
what the future promises A marke,

will within another year be rolling

HARMS THE MILITIA,
MACF FARLAND SAYS
Thinks President Would
Interfere if He Knew
of Some Cases.
Minor Officials Should Not
Keep Guardsmen From
Camps.

Lack OF interest on the part of the
business men of the District and their
seeming apathy Of appreciation of the
value to the community of the Dis
trict of Columbia National Guard as a
practical peace preserving organization
was the subject Of an interview given
out yesterday by Commissioner Mac
farland who reads employers a timely
lesson on civic pride and local and ma
tional patriotism worthy Of deep con-
sderatiOn.
He Is just back from an official visit
to Camp Ordway. Bolivar Heights. near
Harpers Ferry. where the District OF
Columbia National Guard is in annual
eucampment. He With Commissioner
West spent yesterday at the camp as
the guest Of Gen. George II. Harries,
commanding the guard.
Commissioner Macfarland said:
'It seems inexplicable that any en-
ployers should be unwilling to have
guardsmen who are in their employ take
time 20 get the invaluable practice OF
the camp. The business men who take
this shortsighted view would be the first
10 call for the services Of the National
Guard IL they were needed, as they may
be some day, for their protection.

P. 0. GRAFT CASES
MAY BE DROPPED
District Attorney Not In

What disposition is to be made of the
Postofflce Department graft cases now
on the docket Of the District criminal
courts?
In reply TO a rumor circulated yes
terday that no more prosecutions Of
these cases would be had. District AT
torney Baker said he could not say one
way or the other regarding the future
or the cases.
II Is possible that one or more cases
may be called, but the fact that tie
ends OF justice in a great many respects
have been attained may have the ef-
feet of postponing any further prosecu-
ton indefinitely. The fact that the in
dictments are still hanging FIRE keeps
the defendants under certain moral
stress, and this. together with the fact
that they can be gotten any time that
the Government may deem appropriate.
seems to make IL a matter that can be
carried on the criminal docket indefi-
nitely.
Against George w. Beavers there are
six cases pending. August w Machen
has twelve cases pending against him.
which viii probably be dropped in con-
sideTation of his plea Of guilty entered

There is one case against Dnler Z.

In consideration OF Q prison term hav-
ing been served by him in another case.
Thomas w. MCGrcgOr. who has one
