JUSTICE SIDDONS WARNS
LAWYERS ABOUT DELAY

Severely arraigning those lawyers
who are not ready to go on with cases
calendared for trial, Justice Siddons,
presiding in Criminal Court No 2, this
morning gave notice from the bench
that hereafter all cases which are set
: for trial must be ready and dis
posed of.
The court said that attorneys have
of late failed to have their cases and
witnesses ready, causing a great deal
of inconvenience to the court. JUS
tice Siddons said that reports had
been published making II appear as
if Washington were one of the most
criminal cities in the United States.
and that unless attorneys used every
effort to dispatch their cases when
they are called for trial the public
would naturally conclude that the
Judges were lax in their duties.
Justice Siddons also said that he did
not believe the report that Washing
ton was one of the most criminal
cities in the United States.

Many visitors to Washington, espe

THAT Washingtonians are well off.
THE fact is that they are not paying
Ione-half of the expenses, or even the

Ito, but are paying less than one-third
lof the expenses of running the city.
The late Commissioner Henry b. +.

I,tween the District and the Federal
J Government that there was a gradual
, creeping up on the part of the Fed

When the present form Of govern.

arrangement. Then Congress began
making exceptions and finally reduced
the proportionate share which the
Federal Government paid.
This argument will be made at the

restoration of the old fifty-fifty ar
rangement which existed for many

COMING SECTION OF CITY

The Northwest section of the city

progress to men such as jackson.
"A nation torn by fraticidal strife,

From the gulf that separated the

This could not have been but for the
courage, conviction. and ideals of a
whole people.
"The sharp battles revealed In its
leaders military genius unsurpassed
and in it's men and women courage
and fortitude that reflected credit on
both sections and left a priceless
legacy to a great and united country.
The men who filled the ranks of
the Northern armies were prompted
by a conception Of duty no greater

sacrifice Of either. When we view
these four years OF titanic struggle

there is 50 much glory reflected from
both that each merits the greatest
praise and has won imperishable re-

gallant heroes that has inspired and
led our sons to victory in every war
In which this country has since
engaged
