CHIEF JUSTICE SITTING
ON APPELLATE BENCH
Mr.. Covington in Higher Tribunal
for First Time, Substituting for
Justice Van Orsdel.

Chief Justice Covington of the Dis
trict Supreme Court sat today for the
first time as a member of the bench
Of the Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia. He substituted for JUS
tice Van Orsdel of the latter tribunal
The first case in which Chief Justice
Covington participated was the appeal
of the District of Columbia from the
decision of Justice Gould of the Dis
trict Supreme Court sustaining demur-
rers filed by the Washington Gas Light
Company and the Georgetown Gas
Light Company to suits instituted by
the Commissioners to collect taxes on
the gross receipts of the two COM
panies.
The companies claimed that the cost
of the raw materials should be deduct
ed before making a tax return on
which was to be based an assessment
of per cent on gross earnings. The
District assailed this view of the law
and claimed that Congress in using
the words gross earnings" in the law
meant that the tax should be computed
on the gross receipts" of the COM
panies. and the cost of raw materials
should not properly be first deducted.
ant Corporation Counsel Stephens ar
gued the matter for the District. At
torney w. G. johnson appeared for the
Georgetown company and Attorneys ].
j. Darlington and b. S. Minor for the
Washington company.

LARGE STANDING ARMY
NOT NEEDED IN COUNTRY
Representative Mcclellan, in Favor
able Report on His Bill, Favors
Well Trained Young Men.

THE military affairs committee is of
the opinion that we do not need large
standing army in this country. but that
we do need at all times a large body
of our young men well trained and
educated" said Representative Nc
kellar of Tennessee. submitting to the
House today a favorable report on his
bill to establish and maintain military
training schools in the various states.
THE great war now going on in
Europe said the report. shows that
intelligence of officers and individual
soldiers plays quite as important a
part as physical bravery and training
The two should go hand in hand.
Educate and train 4 800 bobys a year,
as provided in this bill, graduating 100
per year in each state, and in a few
years such would be the military spirit
created in all parts of the country that
call for. volunteers in times of trou-
BILE would easily bring forth 1000, 900
men.
within seven-year period there
would be created A reserve of some
$500 of the best trained men in this
country. or any other country. between
the ages of twenty and thirty-two, who
could be lawfully required to respond
instantly to a call to arms
Former Secretary Garrison had ap-
proved the bill.

it's usual course of. work. There was
preparedness somewhere, and it would
appear that Director Joseph E. Ralph
is the Alladin who has performed this
feat of construction or reconstruction
almost overnight.
While the fire was still raging and it
became evident that the plant was to
be total loss Director Ralph ordered
5000 feet of lumber. with joists. tar

While the fire was still going 100
electricians and mechanics attached to
the bureau of engraving and printing
were at work repairing the ravages of
the flames. After thirty-six hours OF
steady work. through Washington's
birthday anniversary, the impossible"
had been accomplished. The plant was
ready for occupancy by the usual
laundry force this morning at open-up
time.
Director Ralph pays tribute to the
loyalty, efficiency and self-denial of

who did the work. He says that never
had men worked faster or built better

100000 in the Standing Army
Provided in Bill Introduced
by Representative Gardner

Representative Gardner of Massa-
chusetts yesterday introduced bill for
standing army of 100000 and issued
a characteristic statement assailing the
Hay plan for federalizing the National
Guard. The Gardner bill also provides
for auxiliary troops enough TO bring
the total to 100000. in accordance with
the plans of the War College. Repre-
sentative Gardeners statement said, in
part:
..On the military committee are sew
eral men who are well known to be
out-end-out pacifsts. or something like
it, Any bill which will appeal to those
men unanimously is likely to be more
satisfactory to William J. Bryan than
it is to Leonard Wood. Chairman Hay
provides an increase Of $4,000 men in
the regular army. This Is force suffi-
cient to man trench seven miles long,
or half the length of the island Of Man
haitian. 1t is enough for a frst-class
procession or fair audience at a great
foot ball game. All the rest Of the
army increase which he gives US is on
paper.
