Concentrating Offices

The record concentration of Office
into a single hand was achieved by
the Duke of Wellington in 1884, when
William " suddenly parted with his
Wing ministers. Sir Robert Peel, who
was to form the new ministry, was in
Rome, and it took between three and
four weeks for the kings messenger to
reach him and for him to return,
travelling almost continuously night
and day. In the meantime Wellington
was practically the entire government.
He actually held the office only of first
lord of the treasury and home secre-
tary. but any one of the secretaries of
state can perform the duties of any
other or all of them. wellington was
not secretary of state for WAL how
ever, because that office did not yet
exist.
Mr.. Asquith's new department was
at one time the most badly housed of
all government departments. Sir Will
lam Butler who worked for some
years at the old war Office in Pail
Mall, records that most of the rooms
were as unhealthy othe administra-
tor as they were unsuitable to the
administration. The office consisted
of six or seven buildings thrown into
communication by means of three
step doorways and devious stairways.
All grades of London houses had thus
been brought together-from the fine
rooms of a ducal residence, where one
saw ceilings with medallions by An
gelica Kaufman, to the mean-lo
ing Hobbies of what had been a sill,

THE INDICTMENT OF MRS cARMAN.

The Indictment of Mrs. Florence Carman for first
degree mansaughter by the grand jury at Freeport
yesterday relieves her from danger of the electric
chair since the penalty Imprisonment for not more
than twenty years. But it would be virtually impos-
sible to get jury to convict the woman on hom-
eide Indictment and action of the jury there
fore wise.
1t may be said that only the most convincing evil
dence induced the grand jury to indict in this sad
case Not a the jury who would not have
sladly voted otherwise The accused was a refined
woman. wife and mother and of excellent repute.
The jurymen had wives and children. The benefit of
any doubt must be given to Mrs Carman. 1t was an
awful crime to shoot down Mrs Bailey, but it would
be greater crime to convict an innocent woman.
And the sacrifice of this could not atone for
the death of the other.
II Mrs Carman did not commit the murder, who
did, There is not the slightest evidence of the guilt
of any other person, and not suggestion of a
motive except insane jealousy, while the evidence
against Mrs. Carman has been cumulative. This is
case in which the defense has actually furnished
proofs of guilt But notwithstanding the evidence
and the indictment the hope will be cherished by
humanity that the may be enabled to vindi-
cate her innocence of the crime

N Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours

BY MARY MARSHALL
Queen Joan Of Scotland
Copyrighted 1914.

1t was five hundred and ninety
three years ago today that Joan, the
daughter of King Edward II. of Eng
land was born in the Tower of Eng
land. where her mother was impris-
oned. But so far from being ashamed
of this early start in prison, or feel
ing any especial resentment for 1T,
Joan enjoyed carrying through life
the name of Joan of the Tower
and as such she is known to history.
AS soon as the queen mother got out
of prison she began to set on foot
measures to make a brilliant match
for her infant daughter. After oner-
ing the princess's small hand in vain
to two princes she was accepted by
a daughter-in-law of Robert Bruce
for her son David. There .was war
between Scotland and England at
this time, and the arrangements for
This marriage were in the nature Of
peace measures. 1t was for TINS
reason that the little princess is
sometimes known as Joan the Peace
maker. The contract for the mar
rage was drawn up and they were
married on the princess's sixth birtn-
day, July II, 1927. The bridegroom
was Just four years old at the time
This marriage made it necessary
for the child, Joan, to be transferred
from the English royal nursery to
the nursery of the little Prince OF
scotland. 1t also meant that Joan
mother had to make some very hand
some presents to Robert Bruce. Twc

the six-year-old David and his eight
year -old queen came to the throne OF
Scotland.
Soon after the accession of the
child king Edward Ballot seized the
crown and David Bruce was forced
to leave the throne. Ballot, however,
saw that it would be bad policy to
offend the English queen by depriv-
ing the child Joan of throne, so he
offered to take her along with the
other trappings of the throne, for
although her marriage had been cele-
brated with the little king it could
hardly be regarded in the light of a
real wedding
But the child Joan refused to marry
Ballot and went into exile in France
| with the little king David. After
many misfortunes. David returned to
| the throne. but he little deserved this
turn of fortune, for while the little
queen had sacrificed and suffered
much for him, he made no secret of
his attachment for one Catherine
Mortimer, whom he had met in Lon
don. Joan was too proud to endure
this slight, and though she made no
effort to be divorced from the king
she refused to live with him in Scot
land. Instead she remained in Eng
land and received him formally once
in a while when he came on state
visits to her. Even after the mystic
rious murder of Catherine Mortimer
Joan refused to go back to her realm
in Scotland. She died in England at
| the age of forty-one and her UNI
| faithful husband survived her nine
| years.

NAL opening of the cotton tie market

not be lost upon all and sundry, al
though not accompanied by any Oh

made on cotton ties for American
consumption in over a dozen years

II will be recalled by readers of
the Daily Iron Trade that some
thing like six weeks ago our Birm-

spoke in a news dispatch of Birming-
ham mills running on cotton ties des-
tined for our Southern cotton fields.

1t is question whether either the
English or Belgian mills will want a

can trade with the largest domestic
producer putting out a price of g
cents for cotton ties that may be
taken by users in July. That is the
meaning of the phrase, July basis,

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Judge Richardson Provided Against Temptation

No better appointment as chief JUS
tice of the Court of Claims at Wash
ington could have been made than
that of Judge William A. Richard
son. of Massachusetts, who occupied
that bench for a considerable period
and whose service was conspicuous
for ability. judicial integrity and
sound application of legal principles
to the issues involved.
Earlier Judge Richardson had been
secretary of the treasury, having
been appointed by President Grant
upon the recommendation of George
S. Boutwell,, who resigned the office
of secretary of the treasury in order
to accept election to the United
States Senate as the successor of
Vice-President Henry Wilson. who
died in office.
Judge Richardson was greatly es-
teemed and he was said to have been
the one man who had been able to
hold important offices at Washington
without ever having incurred a per-
sonal enmity or even momentary
estrangement.
There was a quantity simple side of
his character often charmingly and
at the same time humorously re-
yealed, although of that he was ut
terly unconscious.
/ was chatting with a retired Bos-
ton banker, Asa Potter, some time
ago and we were exchanging rem
iniscences of prominent Massachu-
sets men who had served in public
station in Washington when Mr.. Pot
ter asked me if | remembered Judge
Richardson. I replied that while 7
knew Judge Richardson by sight, |
had never met him.
"Then you lost great deal, said
Mr.. Potter. "You would have found
him a delightful man, and he would
have been sure sooner or later to re-
veal to you a peculiarly quaint side
of his character, which had always
a humorous suggestion.
Near the close of Judge Richard
sons term as secretary of the treas
ury he called upon me at my office
in Boston. He was accustomed to pay
me a little visit whenever he came to
