'It could not be said that the failure to

IGNORANCE Of RIGHTS
NOT A BAR TO TRIAL
Court Refuses to Release
Prisoner Who Failed to Ask
for Counsel.

The failure Of the Judge In a police
court trial. without jury, to assign
counsel to a defendant when the ac-
cused does not ask for counsel, does
not invalidate the trial, according to
the opinion Of Justice Stafford Of the
District Supreme Court. The court
holds that the constitutional provision
for assistance Of counsel is on the Same
footing as the right to have compul-
sorry process to secure the attendance
of witnesses
Under this view Of the law, Justice
Stafford declined to grant a WRIT OF
habeas corpus to Charles Owens, coll
ored. convicted of stealing chickens
and now serving $50 days in the Dis
trict Jail. Owens sought release on
the claim that his conviction was H.
legal because he was ignorant of his
right to have counsel and was unrep-
resented at the hearing which result
ed in his conviction.
Waived by Implication.
Assistant United States Attorney Peelle,
urged that the defendant had waived by
implication the right to have counsel as
signed. The court leans to that view of
the matter, when he says:
IF the trial by Jury may itself be
waived expressly. may not the right to
compulsory. process and the right to the
assistance of counsel be waived by Inn
plication, even without statute? We
are inclined to think that II may
1T is urged that the failure to assign
counsel" says Justice Stafford, ''has the
same effect upon the validity Of the trial
as. would the omission to provide a jury.
But we think that the right to have the
assistance of counsel stands rather like
the right to have compulsory process for
oht aiming witnesses

RABIES NOT FOUND

Experiment in Philadelphia
Has Gratifying Results.

Under the caption. mo Rabies In s. sS5

publication given over to the protection
Of household pets and domesticated ami
mails. reprints the result of a Philadelphia
experiment that has caused widespread
comment and no slight feeling Of relief
In many quarters.
In Washington. where the mad dog
cry, with increasing frequency. has given
rise to most drastic measures for the pro-
lection of people from dogs affected with
rabies, the article has been widely cir

Of protection which are now on the Dis

PULPIT Is FLANKED
BY ELECTRIC FANS
Rev. Zed Il. Copp Will Preach
a "Breezy" Sermon.

Members OF the congregation Of Beth
any Chapel may anticipate q ''breezy'
sermon from the pastor. Rev. zed h
Copp, tomorrow, for securely installed
on either side Of his pulpit are two cleo
tric fans, whose murmuring zephyrs play
over the pews.
Some one whispered last night that they
thought he was going to preach to-mor-
row from the text, What went We out
into the desert for to see; a reed shaken
with the wind" and had the fans put in
the chapel to add touch Of landscape
realism to the sermon. But such is not
the case, for Rev. Mr.. Copp said himself
last night that Samuel Bait donated them
to the church and was coming to church
himself to cool his heated brow.
It has been considered just possible by
few fiippant parishioners, who 1t Is
thought. have been affected by the heat
wave that Rev. Mr.. Copp put the fans
In TO counteract the fire and birthstone
that is simetimes spouted from the pull
pit like volcanic lava from a vesuvius,
but he remains f1rm ip his statement that
II is only out Of consideration for the
sufferers who listen to him every Sunday
that he has advocated the installation Of
the fans to minister to their physical
comfort. thus leaving him more time to
strive after the spiritual and moral up
lift.
1t was at first claimed that the idea
was inpracticable, but the fans were
turned on at a trial prayer meeting last
Wednesday night. and members who were
present say the only visible effect pro-
duced by the fans was to give to the
prayers an upward lift on their journey
through the raftsrs.
Rev. Mr.. Copp considers the instaiIa-
tion Of the fans a triumph Of modernity.
