LITTLE RUSSIA
. OF PARADEIOH;
STICKS TO POST

Sitting alone on a float for two
hours after the floral parade was fin
ished last Saturday afternoon, little
Russia ngirl waited for someone to
come out of land fstrangers and
take her to her mother. Meanwhile,
floral parade officials, the Consoli-
dated Amusement Company and half
a dozen Russian performers were
wildly searching the city for the lost
baby. :..
1t was a remarkable feature of the
parade and one that the big crowd
never knew of. The little girl the
six-year-oId daughter of one of the
dancers with the Russian troupe at
Ye Liberty theater, represented Rus
sia in the congress of eight nations
on Castle & Cookies handsome auto
float Whe nthe parade was over at
Alexander Field, all the other girls
jumped down. to meet their mammas
and papas The little Russian girl
looked around but saw no mamma or
papa waiting for her. She cannot
spt ak word of English, she saw only
strange faces about her. So she shut
her lips tight to keep back the sohs,
and sat bravely in her seat on the
float toe wait until someone should
come for her. Fl.
The driver of the float had his
orders to come back to the city after
the parade So little girl. all alone
on the. big float, rode back to the city
vainly looking for a friendly face in
the crowd as she passed
When the troupe of Russian dancers
found that their little pet was miss

ment than a prima donna after she

ANTIQUATED Army
LAWS MAY BE
DISCARDED

There seems to be a chance that the
United States army will be admins
tered under a new legal code For
just l06 years there has been no for
NAL revision of the present articles of
war. and even then, some of the ar
ticles framed in 1775 remained un-
changed so it is not surprising that
army legal procedure is cluttered
with quaint prohibitions for odd Of
fenses. Military matters have moved
apace between the commands of Geo
Washington and Leonard Wood, and
while some of the old articles can be
cast into the discard, new ones are
necessary to simplify the administra
ton of military justice by courts-mar-
tial. .,..-.. - ....:... T..
General f. H. Crowder, judge advo-
cate general of the army, worked for
months on the revision of the articles.
and the result of his work is now be-
fore the military affairs committees of
the house. and senate, with the en-
dorsement and approval of Secretary
of War Stimson. The new code con
tains l19 articles. -. ..~.:.. : H..

ton stating that it wouid be impOs-
sible for the college to assign pro-
fessor from that institution to travel
over. the islands and give instruction
on manual training, agriculture, etc

there is no money available at the
present time for. such an undertaking.
He suggested, however, that if the
department had funds available for an

Senator Baker Introduces Bill Today Directed Against Fends
Who Abuse Chidren-Resut of Crusade for Public Nor
ais During Past Year

Two sensational measures, and
third message from Governor Frear,
asking for appropriations of more
than two million dollars, were the
features of a senate session that
lasted but few minutes over half
an hour this morning. The senatorial
bills were both introduced by Senator
Baker, one providing for raising the
age limit from twelve to sixteen
years, in cases iOf rape or carnal
abuse OF females, and the other plac-
ing the ban on marriages between
relatives of less than four degrees of
eonsanguinity, and raising the age limit
to nineteen for the InaIe and seven
teen for the female. .
In all there were fourteen bills in
troduced, or passed first reading by
title, and two bills reported by the
senate committee. on enrolment and
printing. The most important measure
from the standpoint of the solons
themselves was s. B., No. 1, appropri-
ating the funds, necessary to cover
the expenses of the senate at the
current session.
Senator Bakers senate bill number
thirty-four, is the one that is likely
10 make trouble when it comes up for
final passage. 1t is this measure that
raises the age limit in sexual crimes.
Hardly had it disappeared into the
senate bill hopper when mutterings
of the coming storm appeared. Judge
Robinson, of the circuit court was the
first to express him opinion as being
against the bill. He said:
While ] approve Of the plan to
raise the age limit in cases of rape or
carnal abuse of females, | do not ap-
prove of raising it to- sixteen. Women
mature here early, and besides if
only in the interest of uniformity of
the law, would hold the limit to that
set by law as tho age of consent,
fourteen years"
Frear Asks More Money
Governor Frear's third message
reached the senate Just few
moments before recess. With it the
chief executive another ap-
propriation bills asking for two
hfihion, five hundred and eighty-four
thousand, six hundred and eighty-one
dollars. Among the estimates in
ciuded in the proposed measure are
$33F60 for military $4,000 for the
secretary's office, $4,000 for promo
ton, $4,000 for the attorney gener-
ais office. s123.200 for the high sher-
iff and the territorial jail, $3S, 400 for
the board of health, $102,S0O for safli-
tation, aS11 .160 for pure food. S297.-
$50 for medical and quarantine SER
vice and supplies, S43S.630 for care OF
lepers and their children and $119,S0l

The senate rules committee re-
turned its report, recommending the
enlargement of the judiciary commit
tee from three to five members. The
recommendation was adopted and

At Scotch weddings some years ago

the hat of the bridegroom as he was

casions the friends of a newly mar

observance of this custom to the
letter
The bridegroom heard them dis
GUESSING their plans, and dispatched a
messenger to the carriage (Which
stood waiting) with his hat some
time previous to his departure. Then
DOMINIC the hat of the male relative
who had plotted against him, he pre-
pared 10 so out to the carriage.
No sooner had he got to the door
than his hat was furiously assaulted
and almost destroyed He walked
out Of the house amid the laughter
of the bystanders and entered the
vehicle, then, taking the battered
hat from his head he threw il into
the hands of its proper owner eN-
claiming. Hey. Mr. DougaL there's
your hat and donned his own amid
the cheers of all present.
