TOMMY BURNS, JOCKEY, DEAD
New York, Nov. 14.-The body of
T. H. (Tommy) Burns, one of the
greatest American jockeys, was
found, horribly mangled, wedged I'M
der the front wheels of a Brighton
Beach elevated train.
Whether Burns was accidentally
killed or jumped in front of the train
is not known. His fur-lined overcoat
and hat were found on a seat on the
station platform. The motorman of
the train said he did not see the vic
tim.
Burns, who was reported to be
wealthy, was jockey at one time for
VIM. C. Whitney. He rode 361 win
ners in 1897, and introduced the
crouching style of riding on Euro
pean tracks.

"Juge de Uvas!"

The Mexican constitutionalists have
adopted a new war cry, which may be
regarded as indicative of the possession
of a sense of humor not hitherto sus-
pected. Fearing the destruction OF the
city Of Piedras Negras by the anti-gov-
eminent forces in the event Of It's cap
ture by the federals. representatives of
this country waited upon the constitu-
ti6nalist leaders who have made that
point their center and protested against
American interests would thereby be
ruined. At the conference polite con-
sideration was shown to the Americans
and assurances were given that the
city would not be destroyed. At the con-
clusion of the meeting, however, some
of the more impetuous of the constitu-
ings, called out derisively to the Ameri-
cans as they were leaving "Juge de
uvas-' Literally translated this means
grape Juice" No explanation is needed.
The expletive carries its own application.
These -blooded Mexicans are trying
TO insult the United States. That is the
long and short of it. They are trying
to convey the impression that we are an

The Japanese Maze.
From the New York sun.


According to a dispatch from Toxic
another note of protest in the Cali
fornia anti-alien controversy has oeen
sent to the United States and new
treaty is the hope of the japanese gov
eminent AS the State Department
maintains that the Webb Bloodgood
law is not a violation of the existing
treaty, in fact meets its requirements
specifically, no progress can De mace
in the negotiations by discussing 1t
further, particularly as Japan declines
a test case in the courts.
IL the alternative is new treaty,
would 1t not tax the ingenuity OF the
give Japan the guarantees she wants
rights with American citizens In hold
ing and owning land in California
when the legislature of that state has
enacted a law that effectually denies
Japanese subjects those rights? There
is no hope Of California receding. If
the treaty were recast for the purpose
of satisfying Japan. could the Senate
be induced to ratify it? And II 1t
were ratified would not California be
found as obstructive as ever? The
doctrine of state rights would be agi-
tated again in spite of the Constitu-
ton, and the coercion of California
would become an embarrassing issue.
Whichever way one turns in the maze
there Is bewilderment and Illustration.
Japanese naturalization would prove a
solution, of course. but in Congress
there would be inflexible opposition In
the present state of public opinion
throughout the country.

Two or the courts OF the District of Co.
lumbia are IN urgent need OF better
housing, the Juvenile Court and the Mu-
nicipal Court. The necessity OF the Ju-
venile Court In this respect has been re-
Gently set forth clearly and earnestly by
various officials and are generally rec
ognized as warranting prompt action by
Congress. The situation of the Municipal
Court, on the other hand. is not so gem
orally understood and attention Is di-
rected TO Judge Bundy's statement re-
garding the work and the Importance of
this court, which appears In The Star
elsewhere today.
To an extent not appreciated by the
public generally the Municipal Court of
the District is doing a large and increas-
ing work. Ii has Jurisdiction over all
landlord and tenant cases and over all
other debt cases up TO $500. Judge
Bundy gives some figures in his state
ment which are convincing OF the activ-
ity and Importance OF this court and in
dicative Of its needs. 1t was created by
act Of Congress approved February II,
1909. and in the less than four years of
Its existence 1t has handled 1912 ordi-
nary suits and 55,s49 landlord and ten
ant cases. During the same period the
Supreme Court of the District handled
i0,66s civil suits. comparable with the
1I.l62 suits disposed OF by the Municipal
Court. Thus in q little more than three
years the Municipal Court has disposed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-10-02

of over e, 600 cases. 1t has done this
work with accommodations far short Of
Its needs. 1t has occupied makeshift
quarters in ap old residence transformed
for its use in way to yield insufficient
accommodations for the public.
It Ia proposed to combine the Juvenile
and Municipal courts in a single building.
to be located on the east side of Judiciary
Square, corresponding to the site occu-
pied by the Court of Appeals building.
Such a combination would warrant the
erection of a structure similar in size to
the latter courthouse and would complete
the concentration of all the court bust
ness within a small radius. AS for the
Juvenile Court, IL should be moved in any
case from its present location, which Is
too far away from the center of popula-
ton TIE Municipal Court is at present
located not badly as regards the public
convenience. but it would be even more
convenient to the public If placed on
Judiciary Square.
The Municipal Court is today doing the
greatest bulk of the court business af-
fecting the individual members of this
community. By far the great majority
Of debtor and creditor cases fall within
its range of jurisdiction. This court is
speedy in it's determination and inexpen-
sive in its cost of procedure. 1t affords
the business man and the individual citi-
zen the best possible means of securing
q settlement Of debt and the interpreta-
ton of contracts and the adjustment of
business relations. And this court Is
operated not only without expense to the
District and the government but at a
profit. for, as Judge Bundy points out
during the three years ending with last
June the surplus of the Municipal
Courts revenue over expenses has
amounted to more than $4,000. Surely
a court that does such a great volume of
business and pays its way so well and is
so capably administered Is entitled to a
suitable permanent home.

The Man the Party.

In dispatch describing the proceed
inss at Rochester Saturday this ap-
peared:
Col. Roosevelt was the dominating
figure of the convention, although he
took no part in it after making his
speech"
Why, of course. Was more required
than that he show himself? Naturally,
he spoke. Wherever two or more pro-
gressives gather together and he is in
their midst he speaks He is a ready,
an abundant and a popular tap.
But he might have held his tongue
and yet have dominated the convention.
The bare sight of him on the platform
would have done the business. He is
the chief among ten thousand and the
one altogether lovely.
Now and then some progressive, sem
sitive on the subject. denies that the
party is a one-man party. He asserts
without batting his eye that the party
would grow and come to great things
if Mr.. Roosevelt were to die tomorrow.
But he is never convincing. The au
thorities, as the lawyers say, are
against him. There is ample evidence
that Mr.. Roosevelt is the whole thing,
and that without him the progressives
would fall into factions ana destroy
one another
We shall see next year the reliance
OF the progressives on Mr.. Roosevelt
This year-in the campaigns just OPEN
ing-they Will have to DO without him.
He is sailing in a few days for South
America, to be gone until spring. He
will hear by cable what his friends
have done on election day in the states
where there are contests.
But next year he will be on deck in
time for the congressional campaigns.
His party VIII put up four hundred odd
candidates, and will expect him to
speak in as many districts as possible
Strong as he is physically, and fond as
he is OF stamping, he will hardly be
able to cover the whole field; but he
should be able to speak in every state,
and probably that will be arranged.
What other man in the progressive
party will draw such crowds? What
progressive candidate for Congress
will not be heartened by the announce
ment that the chief is to visit the dis
trict and appeal in person for votes
for him? Where will as many pro-
tricts where Mr.. Roosevelt speaks?
Mr.. Roosevelt is today, and will be
next year. the progressive party. What
the situation will be in 1916 will de-
pend ON next years congressional cleo
tions. IL they go heavily against the
progressives, both party and leader
may drop out of the calculations for
the next presidential campaign.

New York, New Jersey and Ohio.

The three democratic senators who
helped Mr.. German recast the Wilson tariff
bill nineteen years ago were Mr.. Murphy
Of New York. Mr.. Smith of New Jersey
and Mr.. Brice OF Ohio. They were in
fuenced In their action by the interests
of their constituents. The bill as passed
by the House had not sufficiently pro-
vided for those interests. Hence when
the bill reached the Senate the three
members named took steps under Mr..
Germans leadership to provide properly
for their own people.
And they went about the business in
time. They did not wait for the bill to
reach conference before making their
wishes known. That would have left
them at the mercy of the conferees. They
saw that what they wanted was put into
the bill before the conference was
called, and thus they had the conferees
at their mercy. They were able to say
when the Senate and the House clashed
In conference that the result must be
the hill as amended by the Senate. or
nothing. Under the guidance of con-
summate poltician-Mr. Gorman-they
got what their people wanted.
Three of the democratic senators who
voted in caucus last night to recommit
the Underwood bill to conference were
Mr.. O'Gorman OF New York. Mr.. Hughes
0f New Jersey and Mr.. Ponerene of
Ohio. They were influenced in their
action by the interests Of their constitu-
ents. The bill as reported from conference
did not sufficiently provide for those in
terests. One of the senators-Mr. Pome-
rcne-charged that an understanding with
him had been violated during his absence
from town.
But these senators did not go about
their business in time, or in the right way.
All three are new members, and some
thing must be allowed for that. Instead
az standing up for their own while the
bill was under discussion for amend
ments they waited until it had been sent
to conference. Thus they put themselves
at the mercy Of the conferees and the
caucus, and were defeated. A leader like
Mr. German would have shown them how
10 win.
Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Smith and Mr. Brice
were not reelected. But none failed
of reelection because Of his action
toward the Wilson bill. The bill itself
failed in operation, and the democracy in
New York. New Jersey and Ohio. as else
where outside the south, was defeated at
the first trial before the country.
What will be the fate of Mr.. Door
man, Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Pomerene? II
the Underwood bill succeeds in action.
their failure to amend IL to suit their
people may be forgiven. Ii the bill is a
disappointment. their chances to succeed
themselves in the Senate will necessarily
be prejudiced by their sip-up.

1t will not do for Congress to say that
ii cannot perfect a plan to keep out
the undesirables, and therefore it must
shut out all, good and bad alike, and put

that effect. If Congress will provide for

to solve the problems before us in far

to try and force this measure through
