Matter of Compensation.

Touching on the alleged inadequacy
OF provisions in the joint resolution
for compensation for the seized lines,
and the claim that Mr. Burleson was
partial and was seeking to bring
about government ownership of the
lines, the court said:
The allegations touching the par
tally of defendant, Burleson, are ir-
relevant He will not make the pre-
1iminary estimates of the compensa-
ton due. but the President, who has
not even deputed the defendant to
act for him. Even had he done so, the
final decision rests with him. But the
whole question is irrelevant in any
case because of the resort given to
the Court Of Claims"

Announces Appeal viii Be Taken.

Following the rendering of the
decision. William J. Deegan, secre-
tary of the Mackay companies, issued
a statement announcing that an ap-
peal would be taken at once.
There is one phase Of the decision,
however. which is exceedingly
gratifying" he said. 1--WE allege in
our bill of complaint that the delega-
tion of authority by the President to
Rurleson was illegal. The court prac-
tically sustains that position, and
that, applied to our land line system
knocks out the award of compensa-
ton of $1,6S0.000 which Burleson
gave US, although we earned 81
c69, 600.
This award was made by Burleson
alone. and not at all by the President,
SO this decision by Judge Hand would
appear to invalidate it,

Four Conditions Necessary for Rehibili-

conditions must exist before a person
may be considered as eligible for voca-
tional training under the vocational re-
Mobilization law. First, he must have
been honorably discharged from the
service since April |, 1917; second, he
must have a disability, incurred or ag.
grevated during service, or traceable to
that service; third his disability must
constitute vocational handicap; and
fourth, physically and mentally he must
be capable Of training.
Eligibility for training is based, not
so much upon the physical injury in it.
self, but upon the need of vocational
training to overcome the handicap. For
the real responsibility of the federal
board for : vocational education in its
dealings with disabled soldiers, sailors
and marines is to help them become per-
manently self-dependent if it is at all
feasible.
The numbers in training and those
already at work, under the direction Of
the board are increasing daily. In the
passage of the vocational rehabilitation
law the foresight Of Congress is to be
commended, for vocational training for
disabled soldiers, sailors, and marines
has established itself as one of the good
things in the national readjustment pro-
gram.

MISSIONARY 90 YEARS.
Mrs Lois S. Parker Who Is Visiting in
st. Johnsbury, Will Return to India.

st. Johnsbury, Aug. 15.--Mrs. Lois s.
Parker of India, is re-visiting her native
town after an absence of II years and
being most cordially greeted by her
friends. Mrs. Parker is IS years young,
active and energetic and plans to return
to her missionary field again in Noyem-
Der.
Mrs. Parker was born on what was
afterwards the Judge Hovey farm be-
tween this village and East st. Johns
bury, educated at st. Johnsbury acad-
envy, and after her marriage to Rev.
Il. w Parker, who was also native of
St. Johnsbury, decided to join him in
missionary work in the Orient They
were the pioneer missionaries of the
Methodist church in India and went
there just after the terrible Sepoy re-
bellion. They were located in Biinor and
were the only missionaries among i ,000,-
900 natives, who looked upon them with
suspicion and innocently asked them
how much they got a head from the
I English government for making them
Christians. Illustrative of the changed
attitude of the natives, Mrs.Parker re-
turned to Bijnor short time ago to
do some emergency work and the peo-
i pie lined the strsets to welcome her and
at one of the religious services there
were 900 native Christians in the audi
ence.
DR.. and Mrs, Parker were located for
30 years at Maradabad and later at
Lucknow. For the past few years Mrs.
Parker has been living at Hardoi, to
which place she expects to return.
During the war the native tribes are
very loyal to the English and furnished
many troops for the British army. Some
of the native princes contributed liber
ally to the war funds and one Of them
has since been made peer. This, says
Mrs. Parker, has greatly helped in ce-
menting the friendship between the ma
tives and their rulers, and it is also the
policy of the British government to
place as many as possible of the natives
in office as a means of developing sort
of home-rule policy.
Mrs. Parker is the only one of the
eight women now living that founded

A FIVE PER CENT
BAR ON FAR EAST
Japan, China and Other
Eastern Countries Named
inImmigration Restriction
WESTERN HEMISPHERE
IS NOT INVOLVED
In Bill Just Reported by SEN
ator Dillingham; of
Vermont

Washington, D. c., Aug. l6-Killing
two birds with one stone, Senator Dill
bingham Of Vermont proposes in bill
introduced by him yesterday at once to
remove the irritant Of racial inequality
which is of such concern to Japan and
other Orient countries, and to limit
immigration into the United States in
the future. This revolutionary change
would be accomplished by restricting
after July i, 1920, the annual number
Of immigrants to five per cent Of the
persons of each nationality already liv-
ing here. simultaneously the bill would
repeal all special laws directly or indi
rectly relating to immigration from
China, Japan and other Oriental coun-
tries, including the Chinese exclusion
law, the passport provision which forms
the basis of the "gen.lemen's agreement"
with Japan and the provision of the i'm
igraton OF 1917, aimed at the Japanese
which denies admission to immigrants
from certain portions of Asia or defined
by lines of latitude and longitude. The
proposed measure, it is explained, will
not open the door to an increased immi-
grafton from Asia and it will close it
partly to the hordes from southern Eu
rope. While the bill probably would
prove very useful toward improving re-
lations with Japan, its primary purpose
is to protect authority to admit in ex-
cess Of the annual maximum when in
his opinion such action lis justifable
as a measure Of humanity"
Natives of the countries Of the west
ern hemisphere would not be affected by
the legislation. Measures completely
suspending immigration for period Of
two years are pending in Congress. SEN
ator Dillingham; is recognized expert
on the immigration question and served
as chairman of the United States inn
migration commission, which accom-
plished reconsideration of the immigra-
tion laws.
The figures indicate that the useful
flow of immigrants from northwestern
Europe win continue or increase under
the bill, that from southern and eastern
Europe will be checked and that from
Asia will remain stationary.

UNION DENIES
SHAMROCK VICTORY

That the Shamrock A. C's victory
over the Union \. C. football team on
Thanksgiving Day is a mere illusion and
misleading is coulended by the latter
eleven. Instead Of the game ending i'm
i2-lo-0 win for shamrock, IL tormin-
ated with the alleged winners leaving
the field lt The height Of the fray with
the score standing rightly at 90 tie.
James McGeachie. manager Of the
Union team has come out in state
ment in defense Of his proteges. He de
MES that the Union team promulgated
many disputes on tie field, as the
Shamrock team asserted.
Early in the game Manager Nc
Gcachie agreed 10 give a touchdown to
Shamrock rather than have That team
carry out It's threat to leave the field
The play, as explained by the Union
manager, was in this way: On their 10
yard line. Union kicked, but the ball
was stopped by a spectator in the large
crowd that surged farther on the field
Than should have been None Of the
Union players took any further part at
that point, considering the ball dead, ="
but a Shamrock man recovered the pig
skin and ran it over the line sham
rock claimed that it was a fair play,
on being given credit for
the six points, threatening 10 quit IN
less they were. Rather than have the
game end there, Mr.. McGeachie agreed
with The referee that the touchdown be
allowed
Another argument arose when sham
rock kicked off from the center OF the
field instead Of from their l0-yard line
the ball going beyond Unions goal
However, when the referees attention
was called 10 ilIe lrregularity sham
rock kicked again.
The dispute that brought the game
20 an end came on that second kick on
after shamrock questioned whether the
Union team made the necessary 10 yards
for touchdown. The referee and UNI
pire both declared that Union had made
a FIRST down. but She shamrock eleven
disagreed. shamrock was allowed five
minutes by the Officials OF the game
,nd the park guard to resume play. but 1
hey left the field in a hun/and actu- /
uly defeated
The Union team was much incensed ,
lver what they term as "small sports !
