Alexander B. Hagner.

Alexander B. Hagner, whose death
yesterday caused shock to his
friends despite his advanced years,
was native Washingtonian who was
identified throughout his life with
the Capital city. After an active ca
reer before the bar, for some years
practicing in nearby Maryland, he
was appointed justice of the District
Supreme Court in 1879, and for more
than twenty-four years he served on
that bench with brilliant success. 1t
was his fortune to preside at nu-
merous important trials during his
term, which did not end until he had
long passed the age of possible re-
tirement Some of the cases heard
before Judge Hagner bore a vital re-
lationship to the District welfare, the
most important, perhaps, being that
relating to the Potomac fats title, a
case of exceptional intricacy, in the
course of which Judge Hagner ably
displayed his judicial talents. In all
matters. affecting the District keenly
concerned, Alexander B. Hagner was
a most valuable citizen of Washing
ton. and it was in keeping with his
spirit as such that he continued up to
practically the end of his days ardent
ly concerned in every matter of local
development.

The Armenian.

1t the steamer Armenian. which
was sunk last Monday by German
submarine. with a loss of several
Americans. was a chartered transport,
carrying animals to England for war
uses, the act was perhaps within the
rights OF Germany, under interna-
tional law The Americans were on
board, in such case. at their own
risk. and this government may not
be able to protest effectively to Ger
many on the score OF their death
1t does not follow that the sinking
of the Armenian without giving her
company a chance to leave the ship
in safety, however, was fully justi-
fable, unless she attempted to escape
when ordered to halt 1t is recog-
nized that an unarmed ship carrying
war munitions and supplies is sub
Ject to capture, and, in case it is inn
possible to convoy her as a prize, to
destruction. Yet, as in the case of
the Lusitania, there is requirement
in the premises that cannot be
evaded by a submarine commander.
The Armenian case requires study
before it can be made the subject of
official representations. Meanwhile it
cannot fail to create a decidedly bad
impression upon the American public,
especially in view of the fact. that
Germany is virtually under warning
against the destruction of American
lives at sea. The delay in the settle
ment of the Lusitania matter is not
conducive to good feeling on this side
of the Atlantic, and the repetition of
that tragedy, on a smaller scale,
pending an agreement upon the scope
and character of submarine warfare
against British commerce is an added
irritant which Germany would have
done we'll to avoid

The Police Changes.

Maj Pullman's changes in the po-
lice force. which comprise shifts
in station all the way from pri-
Yates to captains, must be regarded
as in the interest of the service The
new superintendent has acted with
commendable elaboration in making
the Encouragement of the force which
a new head of such an organization
is always likely to effect. He has
taken three months for study of the
situation before acting, and in that
time has acquainted himself with the
conditions and the needs of the serv-
ice. The changes he has ordered
are sweeping, but do not reflect upon
the personnel of the organization.
1t is a moot question in police or
ganization whether better results
come from long continuance of assign
nents or from occasional changes.
Usually shifts are made in police de-
tails as a result of disclosures of in
efficiency and perhaps of scandalous
conditions. but these local changes
cannot be ascribed to such causes
but are due to the naming of new

A Remarkable Crime.

The Pittsburgh Washington muir
| derous assault case is developing
some remarkable features. A man oi
excellent reputation and good social
position plots the death of his father
in-law in order to profit from the
distribution OF his fortune. Accord
ing to present evidence, he engages
the services OF professional crim-
inal, who undertakes to accomplish
this end, and written promise IS
made bv the son-in-law to pay S4.OOO
to this accomplish and to another
for putting the victim out OF the way
Throughout the affair the crudest
methods are employed The muir
der is actually attempted. but in such
manner as to effect only the I'M
mediate arrest OF the assailants. The
men were bunging in their attack
and left evidence of identity on the
ground, so that their detention was
an easy matter. Had they succeeded
in their attempt they would probably
not have evaded arrest.
1t is hard to conceive man dellb-
erately going into murder plot and
putting himself into the power OF
criminal character by giving a note
promising to pay for the COMMISSION
of murder. Had the plot succeeded
the principal would have been subject
to blackmail for the rest of his ex-
istence. In all its particulars this
crime is exceptional as melodrama
of actual life. 1t is one of those
things that if put into fiction would
subject the author to charge of
gross invention.

chief. who necessarily sees matters
from differen angle from that of

The local police force is admirable
in personnel and in spirit. 1t has CO.
operated heartily with the new SUI
perintendent, and the men who are
affected by the changes which take
effect today are accepting their orders
without question and with deter
mination to maintain the high stand
ard of the department. Maj. Pullman
is to be congratulated upon his early
winning of the confidence and respect
of the members of the force.

A Wide Election Investigation.

There is action in Rhode Island
now on an allegation OF election
frauds. Prominent officials IN
Providence have been indicted, and
sensational trials are promised. me
charges cover much the same ground
as those made and supported in In
diana-the corrupt use OF money col
lected from lawless sources; price
put on ballots. and the price paid.
The time is propitious Tor wide
movement of this kind. Interest in
the subject has been quickening for
several wears. There were dis
closures in Ohio which shocked the
country Recent disclosures IN In
diana have been even more disquiet-
ing. And the decision of the Su-
preme Court on the evasion OF the
Constitution by states in disfran-
ohising legislation has emphasized
the Importance OF protecting the suf-
irage from all manner OF attack and
perversion.
1t was at one time believed that
this sort OF skulduggery was best
promoted in the large cities, where
bosses and machines had unusual OPP
port1nities and temptations, and -four
ished. In one city the source of the
evil was democratic; in another, re-
publican. Repeating and Justification
of returns were alleged after nearly
every important election.
Opinion has been changed. 1t is
now known that in some small towns,
and even in certain country communi-
ties, elections trickery has been prac-
ticed with a skill which leaves the
big boss with nothing on the little
boss. 1t is merely question of round
ing up the weak and the criminal;
and, as they are to be found every
where, all necessary is their manipu-
lation by those willing to perform the
service. In an Ohio county it was
shown that farmers had sold their
votes as they had their produce, for
= price and to regular dealers. In
Terre Haute it was shown that the
criminals about town had been en-
ployed on election day to repeat at
the polls and keep legal voters away
from the ballot boxes.
This is no new evil. 1t has existed
almost from the beginning. 1t was
known in our affairs in that golden
age departed" about which some
people talk so much and know so lit
tie. But it has grown with the coun-
trys growth, and has come to be a
grave matter in our largest affairs.
Certain cities swing certain states;
so that it is only necessary to con-
troll those cities to control those
states in the case of a presidential
election.
Let US have a square deal at the
polls-every lawful voter allowed his
chance to cast his vote and have it
oounted-and many of our govern
mental troubles will disappear North
and south, east and west. should be

LacIede Beats MarceIine

Last Friday the high school foot.
ball team hied away to Marceline
and defeated that team 26 0. The
Laclede team undoubtedly played
the best game of their lives, for
defeating Marceline on her home
grounds is no small task. They
not only played a hard game but
they played a clean game.
Too much credit cannot be given
Moan Cotter in his part of the
game. Not once was he stopped
until he had made good gain.
Three Of the four touchdowns were
made by him. The other was
made by Glover in the last minute
of the play. On defense, Osgood
played a fine game. Time otter
time he threw Marceline players
for Dig losses. AT tackle, Paul
Carothers distinguished himself
both on offense and defense. Most
of the gains were made thru his
position, while the opposition
found a veritable brick wall when
they called play thru his side.
The Marceliue fellows are all
young gentlemen, with the exception
of one man. He is undoubtedly
the "dirtiest" player ever seen by
the home team
Friday of this week the Laclede
team encounters the fast team from
Macon and a battle royal is ex-
pected.
