THREE CASES PENDING.
Acknowledgement Pollard to Prose
cute Fight for Return of Martha
Washington Will.

Richmond, Feb. 22.-Attorney-Gcn4
cr:,l Pollard will go to Washington at
the end of this month to look after
the interests of the Commonwealth in
proceedings in three interesting cases
pending in the United States Supreme
Court.
In two Of the cases the State OF
Virginia is prosecuting TO recover
PENALTIES for debt. In one instance
the defendant is the Dalton Adding
Machine Company, which was prose
cuted for doing business in Virginia
without having domesticated its char
ter. The concern operates under a
New York charter, and has sales ana
distributing depots in this State, but
denies that the nature OF the business
transacted is such as to bring it UNI
der the provisions Of the corporation
laws. The Dalton Company claims to
be amply protected by the interstate
commerce laws, and refuses to take
out charter papers and pay tax there
on to the State Corporation Commits
sion.
The Attorney Geenral will also be-
gin the initial proceedings in the SUI
preme Court of the United States
against John Pierpont Morgan, hold
en- of the Martha Washington will,
which was purloined by Union SOL
der during the war between the
States, and to which the Common
wealth lays ownership claim. The
New York financier is resisting the
attempt Of the State to recover the
stolen document, which had passed
through many hands before it was
purchased by the late John Pierpont
Morgan, ST., who was unaware Of the
true ownership Of the interesting his
torical document. The younger Nor
gan has offered to compromise by
surrendering the Martha Washington
will to the United States government,
TO be kept in Washington on public
exhibition, but this offer was rejected
by the State of Virginia.
The will is part of the permanent
official records Of Fairfax county.

JUDGEsHIP FIGHT IN QUEENS
Three Democratic Factions Contesting
for Two Places on Bench.

Two places on the bench in Queens
to be filled by appointment by Mayor
Mitchell, nave caused three-cornered
fight among three rival Democratic rae.
tions. On January l the terms OF
Magistrate Leach and Judge Fleming
OF Special Sessions will expire. The
magistrates salary is $1,000 and the
judgeship pays $4,000. The terms are
ten years.
The regular Democrats Of Queens
have recently been in the Mayors good
graces and believe they will land both
places The men opposed to the or
ganization and who supported Mayor
Mitchell two years ago arc likewise con,
fident The third faction Is composed
of adherents of the Wilson administra-
ton, who are backing Harry 2. keith,
Internal Revenue Collector. He seeks
the Special Sessions place.
Magistrate Leach and Judge Flem-
ing are both candidates for reappoint-
ment. The former, who has held Of
fee only three years, is thought likely
to retain his place. Judge Fleming,
who is seventy years old, Democrats
think will be succeeded by younger
man. Among the Queens lawyers in
the race are former District Attorney
Matthew J. Smith, George A. Gregg,
Philip Frank, John C. Judge, Benjamin
Lyman, Robert Price Bell, William K.
Reese and Henry c. Frey.

END COURT DELAY
SWANN'S PLAN
District Attorney-Elect is
Working to Obtain Pas
sage of New Law.
WANTS JOINT TRIAL
OF CO-DEFENDANIS
Change in Method of Obtaining
Juries To Be Urged to EX-
pedite Business. =.

To end the intolerable delays that
make the criminal courts Of New YORK
State almost disgrace, compared with
those of other states. will be the aim
Of District Attorney-elect Edward
Swami, according TO an interview given
out yesterday. As Judge of the Court
OF General Sessions, the next Dlstrict
Attorney has been instrumental In
framing a series of bills designed 10
simplify the form Of indictment and
to permit accomplices named in the
same indictment to be tried together
al the discretion of the court, instead
of separately, as at present Judge
Swami is now cooperating with the
No,v York County Lawyers Association,
at its request, to obtain the passage OF
these measures.
After discussing the delay in lmpor-
tant trials, under the present system
of selecting a jury, Judge Swami says
"In Massachusetts or New Jersey our
nractico would not be tolerated. III
the former state, for instance, the lufy
to try the case Of Lizzie Borden for
the alleged murder Of her mother was
selected and sworn In less than day.
Judge Swami believes that the SIM
nlifcation of procedure, especially IN
reference to the consolidation OF two
mr. moro indictments for two or more
similar crimes, as has been done under
the Revised Federal Statutes since
ts53 would contribute more than any
other thing to Smashing the police
system"
"Under the present procedure" he
saws, although the prosecution may
have evidence of the collection OF po-
ice protection money from many
sources. only one specific instance may
be alleged in the indictment, and under
the rules of the system 2 cast-lron
alibi will be proved at the trial, where
as II repeated acts Of graft were al
legged and proved. even the ready alibi
could not De stretched " CVFei Gavin
specific instance"
OF the proposed amendments to the
laws of evidence, making it possible
10 introduce similar crimes comm.tted
by defendants in pursuance OF gem
eral scheme whether they were con-
temporaneous or not, Judge Swami
says:
''Such an act would have resulted in
more expeditions conviction OF Ger
tain notorious criminals for arson IN
/ this city, and il would make too pre-
carious the collection of protection
money by the police. For instance, the
conviction of Police Sergeant Duffy
for collecting protection money from
various regular sources would have
been affirmed by the Appellate Division
without divided court"
In reference to the proposed bill
to bring about the joint trial of &C
completes in the same crime at the
discretion of the court, Judge Swami
holds that in cases of refusal Of sep
arate trial the defendant would have
his remedy in an appeal.

EAST ORANGE SHELVES
ARMY TRAINING CLASS
Government Demands Call for
Military Academy.

Orange, n. J., Nov. 2S.-There will
be no military training classes in the
East Orange High School. Correspon-
dence between School Commissioner
Byron f. Brooks d Secretary of War
Garrison makes 1t .ppear impracticable
to attempt TO start classes under gov
eminent auspices. as had been hoped.
Replies from Mr.. GarrisvL indicated
that only by turning the school into an
out-and-out military school could any
aid from the government be received.
One of the demands was that every
able bodied lad in the school Join the
classes; another that uniforms be worn.
The course which the government regu-
lations prescribe covers two years
training. The instructor sent by the
government must be placed on the same
rating as other members of the faculty
and his commutation must be paid.
Aside from this, n satisfactory store
house for the equipment must be guar
anteed. In return, the government is
willing 10 snd a retired army officer
to conduct the classes and to send
equipment.
Members Of the East Orange board
,avor preparedness AMI are anxious to
start classes.

SOCIALIST CHIEF
OUT FOR DEFENCE
Audience Melts When
Charles Edward Russell
Warns of Invasion.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2s.-Advocating
policies directly opposed TO those which
have alv-ys been urged by his party
and declaring that the United States
should have an army and navy larger
than any other in the world and a clti-
zen soldiery trained for war, Charles
Edward Russell, author and Socialist
leader. who has been mentioned as the
logical ca.didate of his party for the
Preeidcuty in 1916, astounded large
audience Of Socialists at the Broad
S,Tcet Theatre this afternoon. lie so
displeased his hearers that the theatre
was almost deserted when he finished.
Accusations from his audience that
he was employed by the munitions
manufacturers to preach preparedness
and declarations that his remarks were
not those of a real Socialist so irritated
Russell that he paused in the midst OF
his talk and shouted: "If | cannot be
Socialist and still be free to speak
my mind, then you may consider that |
am not Socialist"
Russell predicted that the United
States was in Imminent danger of in
vasion by Germany and Japan. He
said:
1--WE in America must either destroy
IT
clare that under no circumstances will
We fight, and invite Germany and Japan
to help themselves 10 what is ours, or
we have got 20 build an army and navy
better than the best.
THE toiler is patriotic; he will not
stand for too many insults, and will
soon demand his tools 20 protect his
country. 1t makes no difference who
makes the ammunition. The thing to do
now is TO get g. There is no danger of
the people being controlled by the
army. People will never submit to
that"
As candidate for Governor OF New
York on the Socialist ticket Russell
polled the largest vote In that state in
the history of the party. lie has been
looked upon as the most likely candi-
date for the party's Presidential nomi-
nation in 1916, but members OF the So
cialist Literary Society, after to-day
meeting, declared that his remarks az
the meeting would arouse so much an
tipathy that his nomination would be
irnpOSsible

PARTING SHOT
AT M'CALL TO-DAY
Thompson Primes Account
Material for Hearing at
Albany Tomorrow.
COMMISSIONER MAY
BE CALLED TO STAND
This Action Hinted II Bankers
Trust Refuses to Let Inves-
tigators See Books.

Another attempt TO delve into the
Mccall accounts with the Bankers
Trust Company will be made this
morning by the Thompson legislative
committee. The committee Is particu-
larly anxious to get a look at the stock
ledgers Of the trust company for the
last three years to verify certain sus-
picions it has relative to the 3s7 shares
of Kings County Light, Heat and Power
Company stock which have figured so
largely in the charges that the com
mittee has preferred against Chairman
Mccall.
Should the trust company officers
persist in their refusal to turn the led
gers over to the committees account
ants it is probable that Mccall will
again be put on the stand to answer
certain pertinent questions relative TO
his accounts and those Of his wife and
nephew with the trust company. z
member of the committee said yester-
day that the committees purpose In
seeking light on the Mccall accounts
with the trust company was further to
strengthen their case against Mccall
before Governor Whitman.
The committee also expects to have
Commissioner Wood on the witness
stand for a short time this morning TO
find out more particulars about his sale
of American Sanitary Supply Company
stock. Senator Thompson has left
little doubt that he is suspicious Of
the transaction, and it is not improb-
able that some rather pertinent ques-
tons regarding it will be asked Com
missioner Wood this morning.
Regardless of the outcome of this
mornings hearing. the committee will
go to Albany in the afternoon 10 pre-
pare for the hearing on the Mccall
charges, which the Governor has fixed
for noon tomorrow. A stenograpnic
copy of all the testimony taken before
the committee, together with q brief,
viii be given to the Governor this
evening
At the hearing tomorrow the COM
mittee will be represented by Deputy
Attorney General Merton Lewis and
Senator Thompson, chairman of the
committee, each Of whom will endenvor
to convince the Governor that Mccall
should be removed from Office because
of the charges of the committee.
Mccall will appear before the Gov
ernor to combat the charges of the
committee. Mccall may 81 to Albany
this afternoon
When the Mccall charges are dis
posed Of the committee, it is under
stood. will prefer charges against
Commissioners Wood and Williams.
The committee also is planning TO ask
the Legislature for an extension of its
life to look into the work of the up
state Public Service Commission.
1t is not the committees intention
further to investigate the $1,000 de-
post which George w. Perkins made
in McCall's account. According to a
letter which accompanied the deposit,
the check was in payment for part Of
the $4,000 note of William II. Buckley,
the Albany lobbyist. The whole trans
action took place before Mccall became
a Public Service commissioner so the
committee has no interest in il.
