Four thousand years ago there
were toys in the shape of water car
riers and kneaders Of bread. Today
there are toy motor cars and aero
planes. Instead of the miniature bow
and arrow beloved by the boy of the
middle ages, the young hopeful Of the
Goth century arms himself with toy
automatic pistol. Mechanical toys,
however, are no new thing. A very
popular toy with the children of an
cient Greece was a wooden dove,
which flew. In the middle ages the
church was extremely severe with

FORMER MAYOR OF PITTsBURG

washington. April 1S.-George w.
Guthrie of Pennsylvania, for ambassa-
dor to Japan.
Charles E. Crane of Chicago for am
bassador to Russia
Frederick G. Penfield of Pennsyl-
vania for minister to Spain.
These selections have been deter
mined upon by President Wilson,
though the nominations probably will
not be sent to the Senate for at least
a week.
Mr.. Guthrie, formerly mayor of
Pittsburg5 and now Democratic State
chairman in Pennsylvania, originally
was slated for the ENTHUSIASTICALLY to
Mexico, but it is probable that no new
representative will be sent to Mexico
City for some time, though it is prac-
tically certain that Henry Lane Will
son will not be retained. To send a
new ambassador to Mexico at present
would be to recognize the Heurta gov
eminent, situation which the United
States is not ready to meet. Mr.. Guth-
RE is regarded as particularly fitted
to take up the Japanese post. where
pending questions over California's
alien land legislation give promise of
important diplomatic relations be-
tween Toxic and Washington in the
near future
Larz Anderson, the present ambassa-
dor to Japan. home on leave, called on
President Wilson to pay his respects
and told him he did not desire to re-
turn.
Mr.. Penfield, who is slated to be min
lister to Madrid, has had experience in
the foreign service, having been sta
toned at London in 1885 as vice con.
sui general and later diplomatic agent
and consul general to Egypt with rank
of minister resident. He has taken
an active interest in international poll
tics, and has been decorated with vari-
GUS foreign orders. He has travelled
extensively in India, China and Japan,
and the Suez region
Mr., Crane. it was said at the White
House can go to st. Petersburg if he
so desires. There always has been
some doubt however, as to whether
Mr.. Crane could give up his business
interests to go abroad, and this ques-
ton, it is understood, has not been
settled finally.

Of Mrs. Mildred Donovan, of Revere,

address would be delivered at the
Court House, but upon Governor
Glenn's special request the place for
the address has been changed to the
Main Street Methodist church.
Governor Glenn has wide repu-
tation as an orator and he is al
ways a welcome visitor in any COM
munity where he has ever spoken. One
of the things, chat tend to popularize
his. address is a large fund of clean
but humorous atoms on which he
draws frequently when treating his
most serious themes.
DR.. J.. d. Donald State Senator from
this district. has consented to intro
duce the speaker.
Large audiences assembled at practi-
cally every place where Governor
Glenn appears. Those who have
charge of the local arrangements feel

HAMMOND IS DISBARRED
HEIDELBERG LAWYER DEPRIVED OF PRIVILEGE
CIRCUIT COURTS HALF JUDGE JOHNSON
SENTENCE TEMPT SUSPENDED

Judge Paul B. Johnson has returned
from Laurel, where he held an event
full term of the circuit court
Thursday afternoon Judge Johnson
had A. A. Hammond, the Heidelberg
attorney and erstwhile spellbinder for
the Bull Moose party, brought into
court and the latter was informed that
the sentence for contempt of court,
imposed several days ago, had been
suspended during his good behavior.
The judge also informed the offending
attorney that he would be disbarred
from the practice of law in the circuit
court of the district for six months.
The suit for $4,000 damages
brought by Hammond for a client, who
had also spent a while in the bastile
for contempt, against Judge Johnson
and Sheriff Hill, was withdrawn, the
client stating that he had not author
lied the action
Judge Johnso's course in the Ham
mond matter was warmly commended
| by the bar and the following resolu-
tons of confidence were adopted:
To Honorable Paul B. Johnson, Circuit
Judge:
The undersigned members of the
bar of Jones County, Mississippi, re-
specially petition Your Honor to re-
NIT tn eremaining part of the SEN
tence imposed at a previous day of
this term of court on A. A. Hammond,
an attorney-at-law, for contempt of
| Court
In making this recommendation to
Your Honor, we wish to be distinctly
understood that we do not suggest
that there has been any excuse for
what we have been advised was the
behavior of Mr.. Hammond. The in
formation which we have touching the
matter leads us to the conclusion that
his behavior, for which he was brought
into court on a charge of contempt,
was wholly without excuse, and so far
as we know or believe there are no
palliating circumstances connected
with the matter
We suggest to Your Honor that ac-
cording to our information Mr.. Ham
mond at tn etime of his alleged mis-
behavior, was under the influence of
intoxicating liquor, and perhaps was
not in that condition of mind which
would enable him to act with proper
prudence and proper respect to the
Court.
There are, others who are wholly
innocent in wrong-doing who are
called on to suffer because of Mr.
Hammond's misbehavior; and we sub.
nit that the feelings of these persons
are entitled to consideration at the
hands of Your Honor.
This recommendation is made to
Your Honor for the additional reason
