500 IN CONTEMPT OF COURT

Seattle, WASH, Sept. 27.-Having
defied the order of Judge HUMPHREYS
forbidding street speaking of Social
lists, Chairman Price at meeting last
night invited everybody present to
follow to Jail four deputies who had
come to arrest all who were in con-
tempt. 500 persons Immediately
arose and trailed behind the officers.
Eleven men stepped into the Jail
when the deputies asked those who
had defied and insulted the Judge to
come inside. A man and wife, each
carrying a baby, said they were in
contempt and wanted to be jailed, but
were excluded 180 more Socialists
today notified Judge HUMPHREYS that
they held his order in contempt.

The Homeless Labor Department.

When Congress created the Department
OF Labor it made at the same time no
provision for its housing An appropria-
ton had been granted for the renting OF
q new building for the Department of
Commerce. OF which the new department
was originally a bureau, and for a time,
until the shifting of quarters by the
parent establishment TO its new home
the government infant remained at the
old home. But now a change has oc-
CURED. The older department needs all
the room the new quarters afford, and the
youngster must shift for itself Much
tribulation has resulted. The organiza-
ton of the department has been ham
pered. its activities have been checked
and there is no peace ut the headquar-
tiers. After much searching a makeshift
place has been found. and the new or
ganization will try to do with what II can
rent there for the small funds available
for this purpose.
II should arouse the pity and sting the
pride of Congress to contemplate the
plight of it's latest creation in the way
of an executive branch Of the federal
service. The building into which il will
crowd itself, and where il win be in

is no movement toward securing per-
manent home for the new department.
The parent department is supposed 70

The land has been bought for it. part OF
the five-square site at the western end OF
the MaIl-Avenue triangle, but no appro-

own establishment. gas, the structure pri-
vately provided f6rsit ;issof, a substantial
character and has every suggestion OF
permanence. Is Congress to allow the
Labor Department to remain in the old
District building, awaiting perhaps the
day when the new Commerce Department
building is completed opposite the white
Lot, and then allow the Labor Department
to move into the quarters vacated oy the
parent?
A consistent, progressive, inclusive
building policy Is needed for the govern
ment. Else the capital will present Tor
ever such disheartening, shameful spec
tacles as that afforded now by the De-
partment OF Labor crowding itself into
building outworn long ago by the DIS
trict government. No tourist will fail to
be impressed unfavorabfy by the designa-
ton of this structure as the home OF the
government office which has been created
for the consideration Of matters affecting
the great working population of the Unit
ed States.

The End of the Game.

The base ball season is ended, the
championships of the big leagues are

is bestowed upon the Philadelphia
team. of the American League. That is

a remarkable process. Many hundreds

won because they had the better bat

doubts on this point. the better pitch

stages, but in this respect the losers
were under the handicap of numerous

The Worlds Greatest Hen.

Oregon is undoubtedly the champion
hen country. 1t has a way of developing
prize egg layers that must cause some
jealousy in other parts of agricultural
America. In 1911 at the farm Of Oregon
Agricultural College a hen established a
world record by laying 2S2 eggs In a
year. Now this remarkable record has
been beaten by another hen at the same
institution, which has rounded out her
year of usefulness by laying 2S3 eggs.
She has now been formally proclaimed
the greatest hen in the world. Cnfortu-
nately she has only a letter and q num-
Der for a name, ''C-543H' It would be
more satisfactory to know her as Bid
dy'' or 'Toots" or something intimate
and familiar. but after all tho egg is the
thing. and 'C-54y' is making good at
that, which is the hens business In life.
With eggs selling at IS cents O dozen re-
tail a. hen OF this kind Is worth while. At
che market rate prevailing Just now in
Washington ''C-54S'' has In one year
yielded a gross value of s1057, barring

large scale of operations, net about $3.50

a flock OF @ thousand hens like her would

that is modern in this. method is to
apply. it to system and classification.
That the Indians used it is altogether
probable. They were an ingenious people
with a strong sense of personality.
they were keen nature students; ana
it is quite reasonable to suppose that
they had worked out, long before the
white man came to this country, a
method of Identification by use Of the
peculiarities of the hand, the most
familiar member of the body. 1t Is
known to be a fact that they could track
individuals unerringly BY means OF
footprints. Bertillon's work. has been
of vast Importance, but 1t has con
sisted in scientifically classifying the
corrugations of the finger tips and de-
yising a mode of speedy and trust
worthy reference. The Indian OF for
mer times doubtless carried in his
mind all such signs OF individuality.
