William Ferry created some excite

and ran off
Forgetting that the possession OF
opium is an offense under the drug
law. the Cinnamon were disposed to
give chase. but when Ferry was cap
tured they remembered the laws pro-
hibition and refused to claim owner

Ferry was in such nervous condi-
ton that he was sent to Washington

DOUBTED THAT palmer
EVER WILL GO ON BENCH
Former Representative Has Learned
Nothing of Possible Place Under
Secretary Lansing.

Former Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer of Pennsylvania, who was some
time ago nominated to be a judge of
the Court of Claims, but has never en-
tered upon the duties Of the Office. has
been in Washington several days. His
friends say that he knows nothing of
the gossip that has connected his name
with the vacancy in the State Depart
ment caused by the elevation of Mr..
Lansing to the secretaryship. No in
timatton that he may be offered the po-
sition has reached Mr.. Palmer. 1t is
said. from President Wilson or Mr..
Lansing. 1t is now said to be doubtful
whether Mr.. Palmer will ever go upon
the Court of Claims bench.
Since he left Congress he has been i'm
portuned by friends and former clients
to return to the private practice of
law. and the temptation to decline the
Court of Claims position has lately
been uppermost in his mind. according
to those who have talked with him.
Mr.. Palmers family likes the social
life of Washington and that was the
principal reason he had in accepting
the offer the President made him of
the vacancy on the Claims bench. but
since his nomination and confirmation
several months ago he has taken no
steps to assume the work. The court
has not been in session for some time,
being in summer vacation.

Sixteenth Street.

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Is 18th street considered a bushes:
street? If SO, it will be news to the
great majority of citizens. whose pride
in that thoroughfare is based on tn,
fact that it is the city's most beautiful!
residential boulevard. II not, the rea-
son for the recent issue of a permit foi
the erection of a ten-story hotel near
Is lower end is difficult to determine.
Certainly il there is any street in the
city where a reasonable uniformity of
skyline is desirable throughout its en-
tire length, it lis 18th street, whose uni
formity of character from end to end
is one of it's chief charms. The placing
of skyscraper so near its southern
terminus is especially unfortunate. as it
will completely overshadow historic
old st. Johns Church and seriously
mar the effect of the beautiful vista
which is closed by the White House.
No building on this street now exceeds
seven stories in height, the maximum
height for the residential district. and
the action of the District Commission
ers In permitting the encroachment of
a skyscraper, which will be rendered
particularly unsightly by the character
Of its surroundings, on this lovely bou-
levard is very much to be regretted.
