RESPECT FOR UNIFORMS
ENFORCED BY STATUTE
Theater Managers Forbidden to Deny
Admission to Men in
Soldiers Garb.

Following the placing of the President s
signature to bill just passed by Con-
gress. propretors of theaters and other
places of public entertainment and amuse-
ment in the District, as well as in the
territories, Alaska and the insular pos
sessions of the United States, will be SUBJ
ject to a fine of not more than $500 if
they refuse admission to a man wearing
the uniform of the United States
Offending Local Theater.
When it leaked out that several en-
listed men were refused admission to a
local theater because of the uniforms
Representative Hobson, who showed his
patriotism at the mouth of Santiago bay
rose to the defense of the United States
uniform and he introduced a bill to put a
stop to such practices, at least in the Ma
tional Capital The bill passed the House
after a brief discussion. Yesterday after
noon it received the approval of the Sem
ate.
AS it passed the Senate. however, the
penalty for a violation of this law is not
as severe as the House provided for. In
the Hobspn bill the punishment of the
theater proprietor who denied admission
to uniformed man was to be fine not
exceeding 81 $50 or imprisonment not ex-
ceeding two years, or both.
Revenue Cutter Service Also.
The Senate, upon recommendation Of
the judiciary committee reduced the pen
atty to not more than $500. with no i'm
prisonment. The Senate also included a
provision for the benefit of officers of the
revenue cutter service as well as for the
men of the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps.
There is expected to be but little trouble
in reaching an agreement between the
Senate and the House on these amend
ments, and then the Presidents signature
will make it law.

Cost Per Pupil Day.

1T cannot be denied that the cost per
pupil-day here is about IS cents, while
the average cost in thirteen other Amer
lean cities fairly comparable with WASH
ington in population and standard OF edu-
cation is about 25..J cents.
Nor can ii be denied that the annual
per capita cost of education here at the
present time is considerably more than
$500 compared with an average OF ABOUT
$40 in the >other twelve cities nearest to
us in population.
1T will not do to place the high cost
here on the dual system, as that system
does not cause any material increase OF
cost elsewhere.
"Why. then is education costing about
30 per cent more here than in other
cities fairly compare BILE with us in popu-
lation and educational standard?'
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-02-10

that in all cities, naturally. there is
practically fixed ratio between the totai
population and the number OF pupils
But comparative per capita figures ana
pupil-day figures will vary somewhat. De-
cause tire ratio between population ana
pupils under instruction is not exactly
the same everywhere. and because the
number of days instruction per year IN
all cities is not the same.

IMPROVEMENTS At
STEpTOE HOSPITAL
UNDER DIRECTION OF DIR. r.. l..
X. WALLACE THIS INSTfTU-
TIoN KEEPS TO THE FRONT IN
EVERY PARTICULAR.

One of the institutions of this dis
.trfet of recognized merit, Is the Step
toe Valley hospital at East Ely,
which was built for the purpose of
caring for the sick and injured of
the allied interests. The hospital
was erected along lines in keeping
with those of the large cities and in
appointments and furnishings, COM
pares f~ayorably with any similar in
stitution in the west. One of the
contemplated improvements at the
hospital is to have the operating
room lined with sheet lead. being
that the greatest authorities on hos
pitfalls. recommend this lining as the
most sanitary that can be used. At
the present time the hospital of the
Colorado Fuel and Coal company at
Minnequea, Colorado, is the only one
having its operating room so lined.
The Steptoe hospital is under the
direct charge of DR.. Il. l.. r. Wal
lace, chief surgeon, who is ably as
sisted in the work by DR.. Lew Wal
lace of Capper Flat and DIR. c. c.
Holland of McGilL all of whom are
recognized as being at the head of
their profession.

ISOLATION, which, by the way, was all
that was required.
Attorney Zurich was then called
upon by the POSTMASTER TO show
cause for his not being elected to
the ~judgeship. Mr.. Zurich gave a
number of reasons for his not land
ing the coveted prize, but the one
possessing the most merit was when
he explained his failure TO secure the
requisite number of votes. Mr..
Zurich showed by his actions that
while there might be many a slip
'twixt the cup and the lip in politics,
yet nothing of that kind went with
him at the banquet table.
Following the remarks OF the
near-judge, the POSTMASTER called
upon Messrs Mitchell and Coleman,
who made a few gracious remarks,
acknowledging their appreciation of
the honors conferred on them by the
association. In concluding the even
ing's doings, the postmaster sug-
gested that the association give a
banquet at the closing of each year,
which suggestion was fayorably re-
by all present.
Those in attendance at the ban
auet were: Attorneys Mitchell,
Coleman. Quayle, Haight. Bedford,
Boreman, McElroy, Lockhart,
Mckay. Lightfoot and Putnam.

BANQUET GIVEN FORs
MITCHELL. COLEMAN
MEMBERS OF WHITE PINE CoUN-
TY BAR ASSOCIATION ENTER
TAIN INCOMING AND OUTGO-
ING DISTRICT JUDGES.

The large dining hall of the Step
toe hotel in East Ely was the scene
of a sumptuous banquet Friday
night, when the members of the
White Pine County Bar Association
rendered a banquet TO Judge I. l..
Mitchell, whose term as judge of the
Ninth Judicial District expired with
the old year. and to Benz. w. Cole
man, who was selected by the voters
at the asst election to succeed Judge
Mitchell to that responsible position.
The banquet was given that the
members of the association might
show their appreciation of the retir-
ing jurist and to assure the incoming
judge that he had the hearty cooper
alton of the legal fraternity of the
district.
The early part of the evening was
given over to the excellent menu
that had been prepared for the oe-
c%asfon, after which toasts and repair
tee were in order.
Attorney Graham F. Putnam, pres
ident of the association, acted as
POSTMASTER and in his opening re-
marks told in most pleasing way
the object of the banquet. The
POSTMASTER then caned upon Attor-
ney G.. F.. Foreman, the first presi-
dent of the association and who was.
mainly responsible for its organiza-
ton. Mr.. Foreman gave a brief and
fattering review of the official acts
of Judge Mitchell, and then address
ing Judge Coleman, told him how a
court of justice should be conducted,
according to the rules laid down by
Chief Justice O'HooIigan, whose
ideas are very much akin to those of
our humorous friend Dooly. The
latter remarks caused laughter to
reign supreme during their recital.
At the conclusion of NJ. Boreman's
address, he presented the incoming
Judge a volume entitled: "O'Hool-
igan's Instruction as TO How to Run
a Court of Justice"
Attorney b. L.. QuayIe was then
called upon and after paying a hand
some tribute to the ability and fair
ness of Judge Mitchell. as shown In
all of his decisions, tokk up the mat
ter OF remuneration received by a
person holding such a responsible
position as that of Judge of the DIS
trict court and stated that the salary
should be increased from $4,000 to
at least $4,000 a year and recon-
mended that the bar association take
steps to have the Legislature pass a
bill to that effect.
Attorney Samuel Bedford followed
Mr.. Quayie and in a short but efo-
quent speech, told of the many ad-
mirabTe qualities possessed by Judge
Mitchell, both as a jurist and a citi-
zen, after which he endorsed the
suggestion of Attorney Quayle as to
the salary of the district Judge. Mr..
Be1ford also made a number of COM
.pIimentary remarks concerning
Judge MitchelTs successor.
The toastmaster then called upon
Attorney James Lockhart and re-
quested him to give some satfsfae-
tory explanation as to why in his
opinion $1,000 for three months
legal services as an attorney is reas-
enable when it is considered that
$500 a month to a receiver is exor-
bitant. Mr.. Lockhart explanation
ed himself very satisfactorily. at
