WASHINGTON. May 2s.-That
Mexican conditions are worse to-

in governmenmt circles today.
The president was known TO be
so much impressed by them that he
spent most OF the day study in z

issue q forceful statement on the
subject early next week.
In this statement, 1t was under

He will warn the Mexican faction

He will impress on them that for.

He will remind them that the ad-
ministration has done everything
possible In the interests OF an Inn

matters more difficult.

Mr.. Aldrich's Power.

What explained Mr.. Aldrich's
power in the Senate? Power he had,
and exercised repeatedly with nota-
bic results. He represented in part
one of the smallest states in the
Union, and yet he himself bulked like
a giant in the shaping of legislation.
He was not without suavity either
in debate or in personal conversa-
ton, but he did not suggest in that
particular a former senator from
Rhode Island whose influence in the
Senate was based very largely on his
perfect and engaging manners and
manner. 1t was Mr.. ingalls, who de-
scribed Henry B. Anthony as min
lister of grace.
Mr.. Aldrich had no oratory. and
only small appreciation of the gift
He was never seen in his seat while
any famous orator on either side of
the chamber on set occasion held
the floor. Only few years before.

though the law may require that the
jury deliver its Judgment in the pres
ence of the defendant.
On the second point the majority
ruling of the Supreme Court is of i'm
portance as bearing directly upon
the responsibility of the state judi
ciary to guarantee justice. The court
holds that Frank was given fair
procedure. inasmuch as he exhausted
his appeals 10 the higher Georgia
courts on the ground OF mob influ-
ence and those higher courts over
ruled him. In other words. say the
seven justices who decide against
Frank. the higher state courts re-
jected the appeals as groundless after
a presumably judicial and fair con-
sideration OF ali the circumstances OF
the trial. Two justices disagree with
the majority on this point. holding
that the Supreme Court should look
to every stage Of the proceeding. 1t
is undcniable that the ruling Of the
majority serves to intensity the re-
sponsibility OF the state courts while
relieving the Supreme Court OF the
duty OF reviewing in detail cases sent
to it on appeal Whether justice has
been given to Frank will perhaps re-
main question in many minds. His

Practical Cleanup Suggestions.

Health Officer Woodward in a
statement printed i'll The Star OF
Monday pointed out the way in which
householders can help the health de-
partment OF the District al all times
and particularly in a general Co
operative cleanup campaign. Clean
Illness is matter of attention to de
tails. 1t is matter also OF daily
work in Kidding the premises OF in
sect-breeding conditions. 1t means
the curing OF careless habits in the
disposal Of refuse and the permission
of accumulations. One tin can
thrown into back yard and allowed
to remain there may nullify the good
work of neighbors. inasmuch as in
the water that accumulates after
showers mosquitoes may breed. An
old piece of cloth permitted to rest
undisturbed in a cellar or a damp
corner of yard may afford the pes
tiferous fly chance to lay countless
eggs. Trash OF any kind. refuse OF
all descriptions, and particularly
dirty refuse. initiate against health.
If every yard and every cellar i'll
Washington were secured and swept
perfectly clean and kept so, and every
house were screened. and every ma
nure pit systematically treated the
city's sickness rate would fall de-
cidedly. Dr.. Woodward points out
these things in detail. and it is the
duty of every citizen to note his sug-
gestions and follow them in daily
practice.

Georgetown's Cleanup.

The citizens of Georgetown,
through their association. have de-
cided to conduct their own cleanup
crusade and to take no part in the
general campaign that is in progress
east of Rock creek, making no con-
tribution to the general fund. If the
work is thoroughly done in George
town there will be no ground for dis
satisfaction with this arrangement,
but in deciding to go it alone" the
citizens west of the creek are assum-
ing a definite responsibility. At the
meeting last night the suggestion was
made that taxes were collected for
much of the work that is proposed
for this fortnight of individual en-
deavor. This is not strictly the case.
What is urged upon the household
ers for the cleanup period is to scour
their own premises and put in at
tractive. sanitary condition those
parts OF the city that are not COW
cred by the municipal activities. If
street cleaning is not thoroughly
done the fault may lie with the sys-
tenn or perhaps with Congress in the
refusal of adequate appropriations.
The suggestion was made at the as
ISOLATION meeting that the George
town people should conduct periodi-
cal cleanup works. This is an ex-
cellent plan. Every part OF Wash
ington should be so systematic and
habitual in its cleaning that there
will never be any appearance OF dirt
or refuse anywhere. True cleanup
work is. properly speaking. proven
tive, and when il is the rule OF the
community there is no occasion for
periodical campaigns.

The Exile.

A man whose hair was very short,
although his face was long,
Was shedding tears of sorrow as he
sang his little song;
He wandered like shadow where
the scenes were bright and gay.
Oh, take me back to Sing Sing was
the burden of his lay.
Oh, take me back to Sing Sing,
Where l was SO free from care,
AS the dinner bell said Ding ding
To handsome bill OF fare
Twas there l used to play base ball.
The sport was never tame.
We used to use the warden for the
umpire of the game.
We golfed and danced the tango and
we sang SO gay and light.
Nor thought about the outside world
so rude and impo1ite.
Oh. take me back to Sing Sing,
Where the hours were ever CAV,
And each curfew murmured Ding

Mr.. Conkling. an orator OF the first
class, had led the republicans in the
Senate. Mr.. Aldrich spoke we'll and
readily. but his deliverances were as
devoid OF ornament as could be.
Their influence rested in their clarity.
brevity and directness.
He was not lawyer. and oonse-
uuently was never in evidence when
questions engaging such men as Ed
munds. Hoar. Morgan. Eustis, and
Daniel were under discussion. At
such times his part. if he took part,
was that OF listener.
He understood finance and loved
the study, but did not essay leader
ship until Mr.. Sherman's final re-
tirement from the chamber. He rec
ognized in the Ohio senator the
master mind of the generation on
that subject. But he proved himself
worthy successor of the man who
when Secretary of the Treasury
had brought about the resumption OF
specie payments.
Mr.. Aldrich's power as eSerted was
in the ascertainment and confession
OF his limitations, and the develop
1nent OF his native gifts, which were
large. He knew himself, and he
studied the Senate until he knew 1t.
He qualified himself thoroughly tor
what he undertook, and undertook
nothing for which he was not quail
fed. AS he was not a snowy man. he
attempted no tricks of dress parade.
He left that field to those who culti-
waited it and excel1ed in it.
1t was a self-centered, calm. di-
rect man that conquered. He did not
scatter" He was never hurried III
committee work. or stampeded in de-
bate. He took his time, and when
he announced ready. both friends and
foes knew that he was good and
ready. Thus it was that he made
himself leader. and will rank III
congressional history as one of the
most successful OF his own or any
time.

The Frank Decision.

The Supreme Court overrules Leo
Franks appeal from his conviction
of murder on the ground that the
state courts have given the defend
ant his full measure OF justice as
guaranteed by the Constitution. Two
points were involved, first that the
verdict was rendered in the absence
OF Frank from the court room, and
second that the trial was held in the
midst OF influences bitterly hostile
20 the accused, amounting to duress.
The majority OF the Supreme Court
finds that Franks counsel agreed to
the absence of their client from the
court when the verdict was rendered,
and that he noted no exception to
The verdict on this ground in his ap-
peals within the state. These Cir
cumstances. the court now holds,
