KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. 27.-Cir- cumstances leading up to the six months jail sentence which Alexan- der Howat and August Dorchy are serving in Cherokee. county. Kansas, have no bearing on the suit for an injunction against John l.. Lewis, international president of the United Mine Workers of America, now being heard in the circuit court here, it was declared today.
 The fact that Howat and Dorchy are in jail, will not be allowed to prejudice their case. Judge Dew said late today from the bench in reply to a contention advanced by council for the Jackson Walker Coal com pany, one of the defendants, that Howat and Dorchy did not come into court with clean hands, as they were now serving. jail sentences follow ing conviction of violation of a sec tion of the Kansas industrial court law.

He said Coakley assured him that the pay ment was the best way to settle complaints made against him after the district attorney had examined the hotel register.

He was described desiring that many of the nations not represented here be in Nlted to join a future auxiliary war snip discussion, making the meeting virtually a world conference.
 Whether any agreement is to be reached in naval auxiliaries is re- garded as depending on a favorable solution of the submarine question, because if France and Japan insist on building more under water craft than We proposed for them under the American plan, other powers will be disposed to add to their navies a dis proportionate tonnage of various classes of anti-submarine vessels. It IS not regarded as likely, however that failure to agree on auxiliaries will affect the agreement on capital ships.

CAPTAIN HUGH L. WiLLouGHeY
On Government Control Of Aviation

ORGANIZATION of aviation under Gov
" ernment control, with department.
similar In scope and power to the army ana
the navy, would insure against repetlti0n
of such disasters as the fall OF the Eagle
last Saturday, when five army officers and
two civilians met death, according to Captain
Hugh L. Willoughby. aeronautic engineer.
IA concrete Illustration of the value of
Government CONTROL, said Captain VIII
loughby, 'is shown in the change that has
taken place in England in the last few
years.
"At that time conditions there were just
as chaotic as they are here today. Young
men were losing their lives with terrible reg.
ularity, just as they are here now. But
with this single department IN c9ntr9i' s
cient Royal Flying Corps. She elected
Minister of the Air who had supreme charge
and the sole responsible lity, just the same as
our Secretary of the Army or Navy would
be held responsible here for the development
of these branches of the service.
Wireless System
with Government control we could have
a system Of wireless all over the country
and all planes would be required to carry
wireless apparatus, just as they do now at
sea. If we had such a system the disaster of
last Saturday would never have happened,
Instead Of laundering into the fatal storm,
the men in the machine would have received
by travelling in another direction,
''The heavy, low powered machine that
they used would never have been permitted
under Government control. Contrary to
conditions on the ground, in the air the
greatest safety is insured by having tremen-
dous power and the highest possible speed.
With these elements the plane would have
been able to keep going and perform the
acrobatic maneuvers necessary to safety.
Army and navy planes are all equal to
these conditions. With such planes, flying
is just as safe as automobilng. During the
war the aviators daily performed feats that
involved just as much strain on the ma
chimes and just as much danger as the recent
storm. Yet men killed in action did not meet
their deaths from failure of the machines,
but were invariably shot down.
Greatest Strain on Machine
1.-The greatest strain that machine can
undergo is that involved in dropping
thousand feet or so in a tail spin or nose
dive and righting itself again. And yet
during the war these feats were common
occurrences.
"All airplanes should have large safety
factor, which Government control would
insure. Men are allowed TO fly today who
are not skillful pilots. Many of these carry
passengers at great risk to both. The army
and navy have a license system for pilots
but in civil flying it is not compulsory
There is no proper system Of aviation

TIDYING UP THE SQUARES

TINE cause of municipal tidiness is appre-
i ciably advanced in the award of con-
tracts for improving a number of city
squares in which the grass is sparse and the
trees are dying.
Shabby parks share the distressing quail
ties of all unkempt decoration. How lamen-
table this can be is frequently illustrated in
Mexico and the Central American republics,
where pretentiousness of plan Is only ex-
ceeded by neglect in pleasure grounds over
grown with weeds and disfgured with
rubbish.
While evidences Of such indifference have
seldom disfgured Philadelphia, there are
numerous parks not venerable enough to
have enjoyed the original advantages of
Penn's open spaces and yet sufficiently old
to have been created at time when the
selection of site was not carefully considered.
In several instances these squares developed
In rather haphazard fashion on dumps and
lots never properly planted.
The fine trees that shade and adorn the
four green spaces of the original town can
not, of course, at once be initiated In the
outlying sections. But that is no reason
why ordinary standards of neatness and
pictorial good order should not be preserved.

GOLF FOR THE PUBLIC

TNHE wisdom Of laying out a golf course
i in Cobbs Greek Park is no longer in
doubt. The course is so popular that thus
early in the season 1t is crowded beyond Its
capacity. Not more than $50 persons can
be accommodated with comfort, but on Sun
days between 500 and 900 men and women
appear with their balls and clubs prepared
to play.
A man interested in the matter timed his
waits at the various holes last Sunday. and
found that he spent three and a half hours
doing nothing while the players ahead Of
him were getting out of his way.
Such a trial of the patience may be ben
eficial to the philosophicallv inclined, but
1t Is an irritation to the average man. He
begins to wonder why he ever took up golf
for recreation, when he does not wonder
why, IL the city thinks it worth while to
provide accommodations for golfers, it does
not do so adequately.
Players on the public course in Van
Cortlandt Park in New York have begun to
make the same kind of complaint that is
heard from the people who use Cobbs Creek
Park. Various suggestions are made to re-
lieve the congestion. But there can be no
relief until more courses are laid out.
1t has been suggested that League Island
Park be utilized in this way for the benefit
of those who live in South Philadelphia
q No site has been proposed for the people
living in the northern part of the city nor
to give the West Philadelphians place to
which they can go when Cobbs Creek Park
Is too crowded for comfort.
There are probably at least 1000 golfers
who belong to the various private clubs.
No one knows how many players belong to
no clubs. They are men who have come to
the city from other communities and have
not vet made any club connection. They
are also men who play but find the club
which they would like to join already so
full that 1t will accept no more golfng mem
bers. Three or four public courses are not
too many for a city of this size.
They do things differently in Scotland,
for Carnoustie, a town Of 1000 population
across the bay from st. Andrews. has four
public courses which are patronized gener-
ously by the citizens. Many Of the profess
sonal golfers employed by the clubs In and
around this city learned the game at Car
noustie, where the boys play almost from
the cradle and develop style which Is the
despair of the men on this side Of the ocean
who have not taken up the sport till they
have reached years Of indscretion.
