FREE SPEECH is DEFINED
BY u. S. JUDGE VAN FLEET
Must Not Be Carried to Point of
Obstructing the Law,
He Says.

SAN FRANCISCO. September l3-In
instructn; prospective jurors in the trial,
which was under way here today of Dan
iel O'Connell. an attorney. and six other
men charged with conspiring to hamper
enforcement of the selective draft law.
Judge William G. Van Fleet of the United
States district court defined free speech.
NO man." he said. has a right to
carry the liberty of free speech to a point
whc, ,nterferes with the due execution
of the law. where his opposition is not an
honest one and is actuated wholly by the
intention Of expressing his views. Some
times individuals will give expression to
views which may have an effect upon the
execution of the laws. But if they are
honestly and conscientiously expressed.
it is, under our Constitution. the liberty
OF free speech.
1.-The citizens have a perfect right to
discuss any measure. They have a per
feet right to critcse the judgment of
the courts or legislative acts.
NO man has a right to advise his
neighbor or the public to obstruct the
execution of the law. That is beyond the
liberty of free speech.

WASHINGTON CITY
Of future YEARS
Col. Harts, Soon to Go to
France, Tells of Plans for I'm
proving the Capital.
LOOKS 80 YEARS AHEAD

Here are some of the farewell hopes
for Washington of Col w. w. iiarts.
leaving his positions here as super1n-
tendent of public buildings and grounds
and secretary of the Commission OF
Fine Arts to sail shortly with reSi-
ment of engineers for France:
Removal of the Botanic Garden from
the present small area to tract on
the Bladensburg road opposite Mount
Olivet cemetery. This tract. known as
Mount Hamilton. includes more than
200 acres. and slopes off from the sec
ond highest point in the District to
the lowlands of the Anacostia river
affording soil and proper elevation for
every sort OF plant life that could be
grown in this climate.
Extension of Maryland avenue north
east to connect with a boulevard along
the south of this tract, passing through
the new Anacostia river improvement
and connecting with the baltimore
Washington road near Bladenshurs
This will afford an impressive entrance
to the capital through a parked ana
wooded roadway, like Fenway Iark IN
Boston.
Evening star., 1917-09-13

Touring through the Mall Mr. Moore
and Col. Harris explained the improve
ments in contemplation there. told how
it is hoped to have the area between the
Union station and the Capitol made into
Il park bounded by more public buildings
III harmony with the Capitol and Senate
office building. and then proceeded along
Maryland avenue northeast. the center or
which has become u flower bed i mile
long under the direction of the land
scape experts in the office of public build
ings and grounds.
The Mount Hamilton proposal already
has been Investigated by Col Harts and
he finds that the land there now could
be procured for rea aSonable sum. and
the Improvement would give park to
