RATED AS UNREASONABLE"
Judge Parker Criticises Alleged
Scheme of Retired Chief Executive.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, June Is
Something is radically wrong in the
mental processes of the electorate, or
else patriotism Is at its last gasp when,
with hardly a whisper of protest, a
retired chief executive may brag to
representatives Of the people Of his
reasonable scheme to intrude upon
state rights, and violate otherwise the
fundamental law by establishing a
military receivership over coal mines
pending strike, admitting without
suspicion of decent shame that he had
we'll considered that his offense might
be improbable il committed-impeach
able, of course. only because the acts
planned would have been unconstitu-
tional and lawless," Thus spoke Judge
Alton r. Parker of New oYrk, once a

iressing the graduating class at the

HELD FOR OBSERVATION.
Henry Shorter, 100 Years Old, Ar
raigned Today on Vagrancy Charge.

Henry Shorter. colored 100 years old.
was arraigned in the Police Court today
on a charge of being a vagrant. Henry,
who did not seem to comprehend the
meaning of the wheels of justice. made
no reply when asked whether he was
guilty" or mot guilty and Judge Pugh
ordered him sent to Washington Asylum
Hospital for observation as to his men,
tai condition.
Shorter. who is bent with age and has
snow-white hair, which hangs about his
shoulders. was arrested by Policeman
Dreager of the first precinct last night.
He was asleep behind a box at 9th
street and Louisiana avenue, when the
officer disturbed his SAUNDERS and took
him to the station house. He declares
he is a former slave and resided for
many years in a little cabin near the
Chain bridge. Although Henry said it
was the first time he had ever been in
the Police Court, his memory seems to
have failed him. as court attendants de-
cIared he was there on another OCCASION
when he said he was 1O7 years old.

WORLD PATHWAY FOR SOUL.
Rev. J. S. Montgomery Discusses Re

This world must ever be made the
royal pathway for the human soul" said
Rev James Shera Montgomery in his SER
mon at the Metropolitan NJ. E. Church
last night.
The day is practical he said. ut
demands religion that runs Gods err
rands, leading to human hearts and
home. We may juggle it up and juggle

dye-stuffs even as a druggist does his
bottles. yet the mind of the world with
a growing vision and comprehension will
only willingly turn with acceptance to
the benevolent hand and the pure heart
