To TREAT ALL ALIKE
IN PUBLIC ELEVATORS
New Order of Things at State,
War and Navy
Building.

With view to the betterment of the
elevator service in the State, War and
Navy building. Capt Douglass MacAr-
thur, who recently succeeded Capt. q. 8.
Grant Sd as superintendent of the build
ing, has introduced several innovations in
the regulations for the use of the eleva-
tors The most important changes are the
elimination of special service for ali
high-grade officials and the annulment of
the rule whereby messengers were re-
stricted to the use Of certain designated
elevators.
The general purpose Of the new regu-
lations, Capt. Macarthur says, sis to
place the traffic conduct of the elevator
service on the basis common to buildings
of this size and Glass; He adds that
1.-The elevators are meant to facilitate the
prompt dispatch of public business and
Their operation, therefore, is to be strictly
Their operation, therefore. to be strictly
impersonal. No special calls or special
service are authorized. Complete trips
will be made to the top floor and return
when there are passengers to be carried,
stopping en- route for discharge or FILL"
No Special Consideration.
1t is explained that the new arrange
ment was made in the hope Of making
the service more satisfactory to the great
mass Of people who use the elevators,
and paying less attention to the interests
of a select few, holding high official posi-
tons, who under previous regulations
were granted special consideration at
the expense Of all others desiring to use
the elevators. The plan Of restricting all
the messengers to certain elevators,
which was adopted by the last previous
administration as an experiment, did not
meet expectations in facilitating the
movements of the messengers and keep
ing them out of the elevators intended
for the use of the general public. That
plan consequently has been abandoned
in favor of the new plan of throwing the
elevators open to all alike, secretaries,
assistant secretaries. senators and rep
resentatves, generals and admirals, mes
sensers and all classes of employees and
visitors.

are more or less familiar with court
 proceedings in this town that alto
 gether too many arrests are made on
 insufficient evidence or without war rants. Neighborhood quarreIs furnish a, large proportion of the cases and
 when the parties got into court the
 evidence is so f1imsy that no justice WoUld have the hardihood to risk an appeal with knowledge that a convic- ton would surely be reversed with additional costs to the town. In many cases where the accused are fined they pay up swallowing the injustice they believe they are the victims of rather than expend more money in carrying the case to the higher courts Once in a while the justices strike a tartar who fights for his rights to the last ditch. Such cases are usually noIIed by the prosecutor in the higher court and the costs come back on the town.
 The figures given above are not guaranteed as absolutely accurate but they are as close to it as possible at the present time. They represent fairly the condition of affairs in the justice courts. They show beyond cavil that over three-fifths of the ar rests made in the town are not backed by evidence enough to warrant them. Stratford is not so bad as the record of arrests would indicate. The returns of the town courts are standing joke in the county court house. The tax payers who pay the bills are begin ming to understand just what propor- ton of the costs of these petty affairs are taxed upon them.
 Handy Johnson, charged with high way robbery was allowed to roam at large and has never been appreh ended because the officers could not see the fun in 'trisking their lives without get ting paid for it.'' Therefore, the 96 cases which were nolled in the town must represent easy money with m risk of life on the part of the police 1 of the town. The excuse offered that there will always be some mot guilty cases cannot possibly be extended to l mean in reason three cases out of ev- cry five brought

CLERGY OPPOSED TO RE-MARRlAGE OF
 THOSE DIVORCED

Carlisle, Pa, Sept. 10--Clergymen of this rcity have started d zT1ovement to line up the clergy of the entire state in opposition to the re-marriage of di- vorced persons. The plan provides that ministers shall sign an agreement not to perform a marriage, ceremony in a case where either one of the contract ing parties has been divorced.
 "A committee was appointed to pre- pare a citation to the local clerk of the courts requesting him to indicate on the marriag ge licenses served to min fsters whether or not either of the par ties contemplating matrimony had been divorced This. is not required by the state law now but can be done at the option of the marriage license clerk. The ministers will, however. probably provide a1 exespt ton in the4case of per sons who can furnish to them under oath evidence. including transcript or. the order of court, showing them to be the innocent parties.
 The sentiment of Mexico seems to be that AmeElcans-s -shon1d-ge out be-
