Manager Kelley of My Home Town
Girl" Makes Mistake and
Lands in Court.
BIG DAMAGE SUIT STARTS

Perry j. Kelley, manager of my
Home Town Girl" which closed its
engagement at the Brandeis Satur-
day. made the mistake OF his career
by hanging a haymaker on one OF
the hometown boys. He thereby
acquired nice little law suit for
$4,000 damages, besides paying a
fine OF $40 and costs for assault.
Arthur Bowes, son of Harrison II.
Bowes OF Omaha, was one of the
chorus men in the company. Yes
terday afternoon something went
wrong on the stage, and last night
the manager and young Mr.. Bowes
went into executive session over the
affair. This eliminated in Mr., Kelley
landing a good, solid Jolt on the
Bowes head. Young Mr.. Bowes hur-
riedly called his father, and then
the action was much swifter than
that of the play.

Court wheels Turn Fast.

Justice Of the Peace Claiborne was
called from the bosom OF his family and
convened court. Before the justice Mr.
Kelley blended guilty to a charge OF as
sault and battery, and was fined $40 and
costs. which he paid. This was Just
working up to the climax.
While MIR. Kelley was in the justice
court, Mr.. Bowes the elder, was busy get
ting Deputy Clerk steere down TO Bob
Smiths naturalization headquarters. and
the .county's electric light bill for the
month was swelled a little. while Mr.
Bowes went through the process OF start
ing suit for $4,000 damages. One OF Felix
NicShsne's best little process servers
then came into the cast, and got action
to the extent that when Mr.. Kelley got
back to the theater a perfectly good sum-
mons was served on him. and on John
Hyams as well. and the entire parapher-
MALTA OF the company was attached.

little straight politics, in the attitude
of those democrats who would set
Mr.. Wilson aside. The act would be
a confession of failure for the party.
No theme would be so pat to the re-
publican tongues or pens. 1t would
point their moral and adorn their tale
for the whole campaign. Neither Mr..
Clark, Mr.. Bryan, nor Mr.. Under
wood could as the supplanter of Mr..
Wilson make headway against the
reasons for his retirement.
The logic of the situation-though
logic sometimes has no connection
with politics-calls for Mr.. Wilson's
denomination. Everything demo-
cratic centers in him. He has shaped
the course both as respects foreign
and domestic affairs more completely
than any democratic President since
Jackson. The Sixty-third Congress
not only consulted, but obeyed him;
and during Mr.. Bryan's occupancy of
the State Department Mr.. Wilson
was largely his own foreign min
lister.
The record, then, is Mr.. Wilson's.
If it is worthy of reward, he is en-
titled to the reward; if of punish
ment, he should be punished.

Another German Atrocity.

The conditions under which the
Ford peace party will be permitted to
travel through Germany are certainly
not conducive to the ineulcation OF
that placid state of mind that should
prevail upon so benehcent and altru-
istic an occasion. They can cross
German soil provided first they do
not touch it. They must be locked
within their railroad cars, which will
be Sealed" Whether this means
that the car windows will be shaded
to prevent any sort of sightseeing
does not appear in the dispatches, but
judging from the experience of other
travellers through Germany in war
time it will not be surprising to flnd
the Fordless paci6cists confined to
the contemplation of their own IA
miliar faces as they make their way
across Teuton soil. They must not
carry with them any written, type
written or printed papers. and sim
gle paper found on any one will make
trouble for the whole party. They
must leave behind them all cameras.
post cards, opera glasses and gold
coin. Nothing is said in the an
nounced regulations about the ia
nous squirrel mascot, but that will
not be carried, for the little creature,
it is said, died on the voyage to Nor
way because the pacihcists were too
busy quarreling to feed it. Doubt
less after these conditions are stud
led by the peace makers they will
regret that their distinguished erst-
while leader did not route their ex-
pedition straight to Holland instead
of philandering through Norway,
Sweden and Denmark in the hope of
working up anti-war sentiment
through as many neutral countries
as he could reach. They would then
have been able to reach The Hague
with all their documents and speech
es, their cameras and their gold, and
without being forced to travel like
prisoners.

Indorsing Mr.. Wilson.

Last week the democratic state
committee of Tennessee and the
democratic executive committee of
Alabama indorsed President Wilson
for a second term. Presumably the
delegates to the democratic national
convention from those states will
ratify the expressions thus given.
Taking time by the forelock is the
right caper There is no organized
anti-Wilson sentiment in the demo-
cratic party yet, but undoubtedly
such sentiment exists. 1t lacks a
leader. 1t would be happy to sup
port Mr.. Clark, but he is not agree
able" He is Wilson man. 1t hesi-
tates to approach Mr.. Bryan. because
as matters stand he is not avail
able. A new situation would have to
be created before even, if willing, he
could serve the purpose.
The wise thing, therefore. is for the
Wilson sentiment, which is organized.
to express itself and show its size
and quality. The faithful will be
strengthened; the waverers strongly
"hunched"; even converts from the
opposition may be made. 1t is an
effective way of setting the candle on
hill.

The High Pneumonia Death Rate.

The Districts mortality record
during 1915 showed a marked increase
over the year previous, 6e8 more
deaths occurring during the twelve
months. This meant an increase in
the rate from 1850 to 1915. The fact
is noted that only in New York and
Washington of the larger municipali-
ties has this phenomenon of an in
creased death rate in 1915 occurred.
just why this is cannot be now ascer-
tanned. 1t is important to observe
that deaths from pneumonia ad-
vanced from 468 to 668, an increase of
over AZ per cent, while the deaths
from tuberculosis rose from Oh to
6o7.
These fatal Affections of the pull
rnonary system indicate that despite
the advance of recent years in the
education much work remains to be
done in the instruction of the people
in the care of the lungs. There is, of
course, a wide difference between
tuberculosis and pneumonia, but the
same general precautions that apply
to one are applicable to the other.
Pneumonia is communicable disease
and its high rate of prevalence is un-
doubtedly due in large measure to
carelessness. The disease is trans
mitted through the sputum of those
afflicted, from which germs are car
ried into the air to be breathed into
the lungs of the well, who have no
defense.
The addition of 200 to the death
rolls from pneumonia in 1915 should
be regarded as grave warning of
the danger that menaces this COM
munity. 1t is distinctly unpleasant
fact to contemplate that Washington
is suffering from a contagious condi-
ton which, were it smallpox or chol-
era or typhoid fever, would cause a
widespread state of alarm. If 668
people died in Washington of what
is generally classed as an epidemic
disease in one year there would be
an insistent public demand for a
quarantine"
There is a law in force here
against expectoration in public
places, in street cars and on side
walks. 1t is constantly violated and
apparently without punishment. At
this time of the year this practice is
especially dangerous, and the degree
of this danger is illustrated by the
pneumonia death figures conveyed in
the official report. A vigorous CAM
paign of law enforcement is certainly
desirable in view of the disquieting
jump in the pneumonia death rate.

The Supreme Court Vacancy.

Justice Lamar justified his appoint
ment. All those qualified by intimate
knowledge to speak praise his serv-
ices on the Supreme bench. He pos
sessed the learning, the tempera-
ment, and the industry necessary to
the post. With the exception Of a
few years spent in politics. his life
was devoted to the law. He mas
tered the science. and applied it we'll.
In no other selection he made for
high Office did President Taft show
better Judgment. He picked the right
man.
Chief Justice White was taken
from the Louisiana bench and sent to
the Senate. After a brief service
there he was appointed to the Su-
preme Court. His preference was
for the judicial life; and he has en-
joyed his work
Justice McKenna was appointed
from political life. President Nc
Kinley had been impressed with the
ability he had manifested in Con-
gress, and decided-very correctly as
events have proved-that he would
acquit himself quite as we'll on the
bench.
Justice Day was appointed frorl po-
litical life, but had made only short
sojourn there. 1t was not so much
the ability he had shown first as as
sistant secretary of state and then
as Secretary as that he had pre-
viously shown as member of the
Ohio bar which pointed him out for
the vacancy on the Supreme bench.
Justice Hughes in few years had
distinguished himself in politics, and
the reputation so acquired united to
the capacity he had previously ex-
hibited at the bar explained his ele-
vation to the highest court.
Justice McReynolds had had prac-
tically no political experience at all
His appointment to the attorney gen.
eralship had been in recognition of
his services as lawyer in trust pros
ecutions and he had been in the De-
partment of Justice but short time.
The President has an important ap-
pointment to make. Many questions
of moment are soon to be presented
to the Supreme Court, and others are
very likely to grow out OF the legis-
lation expected soon of Congress.
Questions political, questions fnan-
cia1, questions commercial are on the
docket, or on the way there. There
is expectation. therefore, that the va
cancy will be filled with man deeply
grounded in the law, familiar with
the latest discussions both legal and
political. and we'll known to the

of those facilities. The waterfront
conditions in most of the American
cities are by no means creditable to
this country. There has been no sys-
tematic, scientific warehouse con-
struction such as is to be found in
most of the European ports. Every
thing is designed for the care of the
trade on perfectly normal basis,
and when anything exceptional oc-
ours blockade is almost inevitable.
The misfortune of the present sit
uation is that there is no remedy
IN sight for the immediate emergency.
The freight trains that are stalled for
miles into the country as at New
York and New Orleans cannot be un-
loaded where they stand. and they
cannot be brought into the terminals.
1t would be idle to send them back
and unloaded at some point along
the line, for that would mean double
handling and material increase in
the cost of shipment. Meanwhile
there is a cry for cars at the fac
tories and mills which cannot be an
swered. Goods that have been sold
on contract. for early delivery can
not be shipped, and there is con-
sequent congestion at the point of
manufacture that is hampering prac-
tically all of the industries.
IF the United States Is going after
the South American trade in a proper
spirit it will take heed of this con-
dition and correct it promptly. 1t is
idle for it to attempt to develop
large foreign commerce with the
equipment it has today, which has
been shown to be so lamentably in
adequate in the handling of goods
for the European trade. More ships
and more warehouses are an absolute
necessity if this country is going to
supply the southern markets.
Evening star., 1916-01-04
The Freight Congestion.

Notwithstanding all efforts to re-
lieve it, the freight congestion on the
eastern seaboard of this country con-
tinues to be severe handicap on in
dustry and trade. Thousands of cars
are lined up outside of the Atlantic
ports waiting to be unloaded. Out
side of New York the blockade ex-
tends for miles in all directions. The
reason for this is primarily that
there are not enough ships to carry
sway the eargoes that are being
shipped eastward continually, and
secondarily not enough warehouses to
give shelter to the goods pending
stowage on board. There are really
freight cars enough to carry the
goods and locomotives enough to
haul the trains. The railroads are
not in default in the matter of trans
port facilities. The truth is that this
country has been living from hand
to mouth in the matter of seaboard
freight accommodations. There has
never been a serious shortage of
ships and the warehouse equipment
has been reasonably sufficient for
the storage of waiting cargoes. The
moment the pressure was put on
them owing to an extraordinary ex-
port trade and to a deficiency of
ships due to the wars arrangements
and the destructive effect of subma-
rine activity, the warehouses became
choked and this threw the burden on
the railroads, which they were un-
able to bear.
The remedy for this condition is
of course. more ships. and the ship
yards of this country are working
overtime at an unprecedented rate
constructing freighters. which, how
ever. cannot be put into commission
for some time to come. A ship can.
not be built as quickly as a railroad
car, or even as warehouse. Oh
