Of the interstate commerce commits
sion today through amendments to
the original application filed by the

Mobile County "TigerS"
Arouse Federal Judue

MOBILE, Ala, May 25.-Judge
Robert T. Erwin. of the federal court
in a special charge to the grand jury
on the question of evasion of liquor
laws, Monday said he was opposed
to giving such charges, but that the
situation in Mobile county demand
ed such action.
The judge stated that a commit
tee of citizens of Mobile county had
called on him and stated that half
of the people in their community
were engaged in the business of dis
filling Illicit liquors. So bold have
the lawbreakers become, the judge
charged, that they have begun to
threaten other members of the com
munity if they interfere with viola
ton of the law.
ct is high time that we act" the
judge said in the charge, mo matter
what our views may be on the pro
hibition question. 1t is the
law and as such it should be obeyed
and whenever violators of the law
get so bad that they threaten those
who are informing on them, it is
time for all law-abiding men to get
together and see that it does stop.

what is known as a short circuit.

of sabotage that caused the ships

In the meantime the orang-outang' S

already had been visited.
After forty-six shots had been
c1red at the orang-outang the animal

Other incidents combined to make
the voyage interesting, too. A bull
elephant, weighing three tons, died
and was derricked overheard, but
the carcass failed to sink in spite of
huge weights attached thereto.

Washington Monument; Some
interest ng Things Concerning II

called on to contrive plan for the
better protection of the shaft, and
they decided that copper bands,
studded with projecting points,
would accomplish the purpose.
Colonel Casey, who had charge of
the work, objected on the ground
that the copper would turn green
and that the verdigris would run
and spoil the appearance of the
monument; he also doubted that
the copper would have the necessary
tensile strength. So the men of
science agreed on a number of iron
bands, heavily galvanized and gold
plated so as to prevent rusting.
The bands are connected with the
aluminium point of the monument
and the teamwork of the elevator,
and at the base iron cables lead the
electricity into a deep well, where it
harmlessly expands its force. The
protection has proved to be perfect.

Few persons who have seen the

who have lived within sight of it all
their lives, have noticed that the
apex Of the monument is surround
ed with parallel bands. Such Is the
fact, however, and moreover, the
hands are studded with golden
points. The bands are made of gold
plated iron q foot wide, and the
points are spaced a foot from one
another.
According to the original plan of
the monument it was protected
from lightning by an aluminium tip
that was connected with the metal
framework of the elevator. During

War Brings Japanese
Royalty Closer to People
Individual May Now Appeal Di-
rect TO Throne ON Social
and Personal Affairs

TOXIC, Aug. IA tendency of the
Zines in Japan is the effort made to-
ward bringing the imperial house and
the people of the country closer on
o basis Of greater mutual sympathy.
Until some years ago all public traffic
used to be suspended for about an hour
before the passage of member of the
imperial family, but now it is only for
the moment that any suspension of
traffic Is made.
A system has been introduced TO ad-
mft of an Individual appeal direct to
the throne on social as we'll as per-
sonal affairs.
Viscount Kiyooka, of Kioto, has re-
quested that the imperial detached
palace in Kioto be thrown open to the
general public, giving the following
reasons:
"The recent war seems to have in
sttl!ed in the minds Of some Japanese
ideas that are incompatible with the
traditions Of the Yamato people. If
things are allowed to take their own
course the sure result will be that the
people will drift apart from the throne
until an estrangement sets in that will
spell ruin to the country at large.
Zone Of the most effective ways for
the Japanese TO prevent such q calam-
ity Is to foster new links Of sympathy
between the throne and the people and
to bring them closer together. The
throwing open of the detached palace
in Kieto to all, instead Of a privileged
few, will aid greatly in realizing this
object"

Banker Asks Police
How the Funds They
Collect Are Spent
Nathan S. Jonas Wonders
What Has Become of
Money Raised for Memo
rial for American Soldiers

In an article contributed TO the
Brooklyn Chamber Of Commerce Bull
letin, Nathan S. Jonas, president of the
Manufacturers Trust Company, calls
upon the Police Department to tell the
public what has become of the money
which the police collected for a me-
mortal fund for American soldiers. He
also wants to know how the money
collected through the police field days
and similar affairs is being spent.
"Why is not the public informed as
to the auditing Of these funds and as
to whom reports are made? ?" asks Mr..
Jonas. Mr.. Jonas does not charge any
irregularities. His inquiries recall that
there are various funds to which the
public contributes Of which little is
heard afterward. Mr. Jonas says:
"Why should not some one ask the
other body which collects funds from
the public to render audited reports
through the press showing the uses to
which the money is being put, where
deposited, security furnished, etc? All
will remember that when our soldiers
first began to return home the police
of greater New York took up collec-
ton toward memorial fund 1t would
be interesting to know hew much vas
collected in each borough, the total
amount received and who is passing on
the disposition of the money.
How many similar funds may be
lying idle and forgotten By those who
made the original contributions? There
are other moneys raised, such as
through the police field days, about
which some statement as to totals, etc,
would be interesting to the public If
this money goes into the police pension
fund, would it not be interesting for
the public to know something about
this entire fund, the amount thereof
and how administered Does the Com
missioner Of Accounts audit the books
and CO lections? And to whom does he

Hart Street, Brooklyn, was arraigned
IN the Gates Avenue court ON charge
OF blgary. With tive-months-old boy
IN her arms and tears coursing down
her cheeks, she told Magistrate Gels
mar that she believed her first soldier
husband had been killed in the Battle
Of the Marne.
She said that just before he left for
the front Howell c. Lloyd, then a SER
geant in the A. E. F., had asked her
to marry him. She loved him dearly,
she said, and they were married in
the Tompkins Avenue Congregational
Church, Brooklyn
After he arrived in France. she said.
ne wrote her regularly, and in his last
letter told her that his company was
about to ''go over the top"
So uncertain was the outcome of the
advance, he had explained, that if he
failed to write her again she would
know that he had made the supreme
sacrifice.
Mrs. Mark said that no surther word
had come from her husband and that
she had made repeated efforts to ascer-
bali MS whereabouts. She declared
some of his soldier friends returned to
America with the news that Lloyd was
dead.
Later. she told Magistrate Geismar,
she met MIR. Mark, and, believing her
self to be free, consented to marry h i'm.
Tho ceremony was performed in the
Grace Lutheran Church, at Gates and
kniekerbocker avenues, last September
Last Thursday Lloyd returned TO
Brooklyn and made dilieent search for
his wife. He learned that she had mar
ried again, and her arrest followed.
Lloyd was in court, and told Magis-
trate Geisnar that he had no desire to
wreck the life of his former wife and
was content to go his way. The court
ruled that first of all Mrs. Mark must
produce evidence to corroborate her
statements. He held her in $1,000 bail
for another hearing.
