Favors Last Thursday in April.

William +. Guide president of the
Chamber of Commerce expressed a simi-
lar view.
What better argument for d change of
the Inauguration date could be presented
than the weather Washington and the
eastern part of the United States is ex-
periencing today?" Mr.. GUIDE asked.
People have been unkind enough to say
that Washingtonians want the date
changed to one in milder weather so that
more people will come here and so that
Washingtoaians can make more money.
Notwithstanding this S ap the truth
Of which / question, l still think that the
date ought 10 be changed to the last
Thursday in April. We ought to have a
date for the Inauguration upon which the
health of the President would no. be
risl,ed"
Suppose this had been an Inauguration
YEAR said A. NJ. keppe. superintendent
OF the Washingto termina! station, when
seen by reporter from The Star in re-
gard to the effect of the storm on train
service. ''You can imagine what would
be the result. with all trains late and
those from New York and points between
tied up. 1t would be somewhat of a repe-
tition of 1869. with troops and visitors
stalled all along the line.
To-day is the I'd Of March and the
movement of thousands toward the Cap
ital city would he well under way. It
would certainly appear TO point lesson
that the date should be charged to one
that is likely to be accompanied by fair
weather..

Appellate Court Annuls Sen
tences of Lower Tribunal
in Fletcher Case.
THREE PERSONS PROFIT
BY THE LATEST RULING
Defendants Had Been Convicted of
Conspiracy to Defame Mrs.
James Fletcher.

James }. Fletcher. a local bondsman.
saved at least three years in the peni-
ten,iary by appealing from his convic-
zion in Criminal Court No. l Of con-
spfracy to defame his wife. Julia B.
Fletcher He was sentenced by Justice
Stafford to serve five years in the peni-
tentfary. but this sentence was reversed
by the District Court Of Appeals today
in an opinion by Mr.. Justice Robb. The
appellate court declared that sentence
should have been imposed under section
81 of the penal code, which fixes a maxi
mum Imprisonment of two years.
The sentence of three years imposed
on George Noble, colored. detective en-
ployed by Fletcher and Jointly convicted
Of conspiracy. is also set aside by the
higher court. The same action was taken
in regard to May King. a young woman
who was charged with having attempted
to lure Mrs. Fletcher into a compfomis-
ing position. She Is under sentence OF
two years for her connection with the
case.

Opinion of Appellate Court.

In reversing the sentences Justice Robb
says: we have ruled that this was an
offense under section 81 of the penal
code. 1t follows. therefore. that sentence
should have been imposed under that sec
ton and not under section 30 OF the code
Of the District Of Columbia. While only
two Of the three defendants have raised
this question, We think the interests of
justice require. and it is so ordered. that
the Judgment be reversed as to all the
defendants and the cause remanded that
sentence may be imposed agreeably 10 this
ruling
The sentence Of May King comes with
in the limitati ton Of the penal section,
but Noble and Fletcher were punished
more severely by the lower court than
this section permits.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-03-02
Labor Decision Cited.

In directing the reduction of sentence
the appellate court quotes as one Of its
authorities for such action its change in
the sentences imposed by the lower court
against Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison. the labor leaders
adjudged in contempt OF court. The mod
ification of that sentence was made the
subject of a special plea by the Justices
OF S1unl11Eer court for the allowance Of
cert1ora1 " n1iA Supreme Court of the
United States. The- justices denied the
sentence in a contempt proceeding.
Fletcher Noble and Miss King probably
will be called before Justice Stafford for
resentence. .-'

Representative Henry of Texas, chair
man of the House rules committee. who

ton date. said today that he proposes
to have as soon as possible confer
ence with Representative Rucker, to
whose committee of election of the
President was referred the resolution
in the House attempting to change the
inauguration date.
There is no better argument for
change of the Inauguration date" Rep

the present weather in Washington.
There isn't any use arguing about it.
The weather speaks for itself
On the Senate side OF the Capitol.
Senator Overman. chairman of the
judiciary committee. said today there
is nothing pending as to proposed

night and are having today. at least the
beginning Of March often presents such
weather.
1T is wrong to invite people to come
to the capital in weather like this we are
having this beginning Of March The

be earlier than April ~. and. preferably.
it should be in May. Not only Washing

Suppose today were Inauguration day

to the decorations. the parade and the

Such suggestions were heard on all
sides on this March ,
General interest was expressed as to
the prospect or lack of prospect of legis-
lation which may bring about a change
in the date of inauguration of the Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United

There may be q revival of this project.

President Wilson and Vice President
Marshall took office. was not blizzard
