SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS NEW
VENUE Law
Change Must Be Ordered Where
Mob Violence Is Likely, Su-
preme Tribunal Rules.

The Supreme Court Wednesday
settled an important point in the new
change of venue law, provided IN
capital cases where mob violence is
feared, when, in the case Of Kennedy
against the State, it was held that It
is mandatory upon judge Of the Su-
perior Court to order a change Of
venue when it IS apparent, upon
proper affidavits that mob violence
is likely.
This decision is unanimous as to
the law, but two justices. Evans and
Beck dissent as to the direction Of
the rehearing
Kennedy killed his wife in Emanuel
County, and for fear of mob violence
he was removed to Chatham for safe
keeping He petitioned Judge Raw
lings for change of venue, upon the
ground that mob violence was likely
to be inflicted upon him II he was
brought back to Emanuel for trial
Afidavits were submitted to prove
the petition, but no showing was
made to the contrary. Judge Raw
lings refused the petition.
The Superior Court held that I'M
der the law of 1911 the Superior
Court Judge has no discretion in mat
tiers of this sort, but must order a
change of venue and a trial else
where. The Court OF Review re-
verses Judge Rawlings, and directs
the appeal remanded, with directions
that the change of venue be ordered.
The dissenting judges agree as to the
law. but hold that the case should
be sent back for rehearing that evil
dence against the likelihood OF mob
violence might be heard.
In a lengthy opinion from Justice
Atkinson, representing the majority
Of the court. the court frankly recog-
nizes the fact that 'lynchings do oc-
cur in Georgia" and that trials under
military guard lnfiame the public
mind Inferentially, therefore, the
court puts the stamp of its approval
upon the new law.

Rear Admiral KimbalI Cites Huge
Sum as Drain on Nation by
Lack of Merchant Marine.

WASHINGTON. Feb 1S.-"The
United States has just finished pay
ing $4,000, 900. 600 tribute to European
commercial masters for carrying her
freight on the seas.
I'VE are beginning the payment OF
another S12, 000. 000, 900 to those same
masters, and will round out that sum
unless there is an awakening from
the commercial slumber that heeds
not the fact that Americas trade is
carried entirely in foreign bottoms.
ours, the greatest network of rail-
roads in the world, is but a fat feeder
to these foreign lines"
This is the embarrassing situation
In which the United States finds her
self on the verge of the opening of
the Panama Canal, declares Rear Ad-
miral W. w. Kimball, through the
Navy League of the United States. He
says:
ITO illustrate the penalty we pay
upon occasion by not having ships OF
our own. the wheat of the region
around Seattle during the Boer War
was carried almost exclusively by
British commercial masters.
Seattle Left Helpless.
THE Boer War took away those
ships. and Seattle found itself with
out means of transporting it's crops
Freight went up, and the people
of Seattle paid a fine of $4,000, 900
for their lack of trade independence.
Were a general European war to
withdraw the ships of Britain, Ger
many, France and Italy. the trade Of
the whole nation would not only suf-
fer, as did Seattle, but would be en-
tirely without transportation facili-
ties at any price.
when the American business men
| awake they will give us commerce
of our own based upon an American
merchant marine They will change
munity to great, symmetrical, indie
pendent nation, a maritime nation
owning and controlling its maritime
| affairs.
| They will teach us-the great SUI
! perintelligent American people-what
| the general run of British, Teutons
and Latins in Europe know already
! that no nation with a seaboard can
| be a real nation without a commerce
| without sea power.
| Merchant Marine Possible.
THE awakened business man OF
| national business sense will grasp the
| patent fact that a real commerce will
| financially benefit the farmer in Kan
sas more than the fisherman in
| Gloucester.
He will realize that this protec-
| ZIONIST country can as readily build
+, up a real commerce as did protec-
| ZIONIST Germany. Germany took adj
vantage of our lack of commercial
sense and made us pay for practically
all of her splendid merchant marine
as well as for her navy to safeguard
it.
Those same moneys directed into
other channels may, in the future
build an American merchant marine
and an American navy.
THE men of the future should re-
quire that few million dollars from
the billions saved from our tribute to
foreigners be. at once invested in an
adequate naval safeguard for oul
commerce. There will then be nc
question of an adequate navy"

Detective Burns arraignment of
Governor Blaase came when a news
paper man asked him if he came
through South Carolina en- route TO
Atlanta
Il came from st. Louis" said Mr..
Burns. 1T seems there is a fellow Iii
South Carolina what's his name?
Oh, yes, Blease! who doesn't like
me because I've told the truth about
him.
However. that fellow is the least
of my worries. He is a barking dog
that doesn't bite; he talks and rants
and busters around, and yells about
what he Is going to do-and then
tucks his tail beneath his legs and
runs when you say. Boot at him.
Mr.. Burns attention was called to
the fact that Governor Blease con-
templates entering the race for Unit
ed States Senator. He expressed his
surprise.
Il hadn't heard ab,St that" he re-
marked. 81 have understood that for
the last few years the people have
been trying to clean up the United
States Senate instead of besmirching
1t. To elect that fellow TO the Senate
would be disgrace to American cit
izenship.
Would Represent Only Himself.
Il don't think the people of South
Carolina have so far deteriorated in
intelligence that they will elect a
man of that fellows type to the Unit
ed States Senate, where many men
who have been good men have work
| ed.
! However. Il he should be elected.
South Carolina would be in the
unique position of having two SEN
ators and being represented by one,
! for that fellow Blease doesn't repre-
sent anybody any time. but himself
! Mr. Burns refused to discuss the
| Frank case, on which one of his
| agents worked for several weeks la st
| summer on the plea that he knew
| nothing about II except what he pick
ed up in various portions of the coun-
| try. But he gave his views on crime
and the causes of crime willingly,
| incidentally taking issue with he
men in authority in Georgia who be-
lieve that in Imprisonment the idea
of punishment should take prece-
deuce over the idea of reformation.
Reform Idea Paramount.
when man is imprisoned" he
SalQ. neither the lued OF punishment
nor the idea OF reformation should
be lost sight Of Certainly a man
should be punished when he violates
the law, but the idea of reformation
should come first.
we put men in prison in the hone
of making better men out of them
and in all imprisonments the hope Of
reforming the prisoner should oc-
cupy more attention than the desire
10 punish. The man who says a
! criminal should be punished rather
than reformed has not studied the
subject"
Mr. Burns scorned the statements
of famous criminologists that crime
/ is hereditary.
That theory is foolish" he said
Just because boys father is a
criminal it does not follow that the
/ boy must be a criminal
"Heredity has nothing to do with
! il; environment causes crime. En-
| vironmeut is greater cause OF crime
| than ignorance, for our greatest Grim
inals are educated men"

Apply for Motion Picture
Licenses in East Orange

Two picture theatres are to
be established In the First ward. East
Orange, providing the license COM
mittee of the City Council grants
permission to conduct the entertain
ment houses.
Plans for the proposed structures
were filed today with Building In
spector John c. Scott. The applicants
are James A. Endiso, who has charge
of the street lighting in a number of
municipalities, who wants a permit
for a theatre at Dodd street, near
North Park street, and the First
Ward Amusement Association, which
proposes to erect place at Prospect
and Dodd streets few blocks away.
Both buildings will cost about the
same, between $4,000 and $4,000. The
plans call for brick structures and
will be one story.
There are no motion picture houses
in the First ward, and the license
committee is expected to grant one
or both of the requests.
