LAKE COUNTY
FEARS ANDERSON.
A Lake County man once said that the
citizen of that district feared not God,
man or devil, but that at the mention Of
the name of Judge Anderson, he would
bow down and bump his head on the
ground three times. And Lake County
wants out from under.
Also there are many politically starved
Republicans to be considered. The fam
ine-stricken are in multitudes and the
Jobs are scarce. Therefore observers say
that behind the move for a separate Fed
eral court lie two things, desire Tor
political patronage and Lake County $
fear of the present judge.

MOVE TO CREATE
JOBS is SEEN IN
BILL FOR COURT
Lake County Also Anxious to
Get Out of Jurisdiction
of Judge Anderson.

In the bill to establish a second
limited States District Court in Indiana,
which Representative A. ]. Hickey Of
the Thirteenth Indiana district will in
troduce in Congress today, lawyers and
other persons familiar with the situa-.
ton see only another move to create
Jobs for more or less deserving Re
publicans. Coupled with this is de-
sire of Lake County politicians to get
their section of the State out from
under the jurisdiction of Albert b.
Anderson, present Federal judge for In
diana, according to some.
This move is not the first of its kind
although it is the first since former
President Wilson took the presidential
chair in 1918. 1t has been very no
ticeable fact, that although Judge Ander-
son a staunch, rock ribbed Republican,
that the only moves to curtail his juris-
diction within this State have come from
within his own party. Just as soon as
Republican President is inaugurated II
becomes A certainty that within a very
short time a BILL sponsored by Lake
county Republicans viii make It's appear
ance in Congress pointing out the cry
ing needs of q second Federal court in
indiana.
DOCKET NOT IN
CROWDED CONDITION..
In the past Judge Anderson always has
expressed the opinion that there was
no necessity whatever for another court
in Indiana. 1t is said that Representa-
tive Hickey Insists that the Federal
Court dockets are crowded. This state
ment is not borne out by investigation
Due TO the necessity of an operation for
kidney stones Judge Anderson has not
been on the Federal bench since May,
and vet the docket was brought up to
date satisfactorily by having Judge
Ferdinand A. Geiger Of Milwaukee, WIS,
make three trips to Indianapolis. On
one occasion he stayed less than two
weeks and the other trips were of only
a few days duration.
Practically all criminal cases where
defendants were confined in jail We're
disposed OF so that the accused would
no thave 10 spend the summer months in
tail awaiting trial 4 number Of cases
where defendants were out on bond were
continued until September, but their trial
will not occupy any great length Of time
and there has been no clamor on the part
OF any Of the defendants TO have an early
hearing. The civil docket is in good
shane. IN fact the great trouble here has
been, not in getting the Eases heard by
Judge Anderson, but in getting the
lawyers to try them. On many occasions
Judge Anderson has been forced TO take
rather strong measures to prevent law

Hats OF to the Chemist.

The meeting which brought to-
gether the leading chemists Of Eu-
rope and the Americas was notable
gathering Of men representing a sci
eiIce which has accounted great
achievements for humanity in every
part of the world from the poles to
the equator.
The application Of chemistry to ag-
riculture has practically doubled the
food producing power Of crop lands,
and it has brought into productivity
areas that hitherto have borne moth
ing but tares. Even those same tares
II many instances have been made
to yield gums, fibres and extractives
cf value to the world.
Chemistry has barred many OF the
secrets OF nutrition. Not only has
life been salvaged thereby, but the
span of life itself has been length
ened; and the discovery of the vita
mines has resulted in making die
tetics as much of science as is
curative medicine.
Chemistry has lifted the practice
OF medicine from the plane Of en-
piricism to that Of science. The
toxins and antitoxins that have re-
duced typhoid and diphtheria from
scourges to lurking skulkers are
products of the chemical laboratory.
The employment of arsphenamine as
a chemical reagent rather than as a
medicine has revolutionized the treat
ment OF the most horrible disease
that for more than four thousand
years has been the bane OF humanity
everywhere under the sun. 1t is a
triumph OF chemistry.
For FIVE centuries or more the
beautiful blue coloring matter de-
rived from plant, Indigofera anil,
has been employed as textile dye.
Hair century ago it was found that
anil, or aniline, could be prepared
commercially from coal tar. BY an
improved process the industry was
made profitable, and the gates were
thrown wide open. To-day thou
sand or more substances necessary
to modern civilization are coal tar
products. They embrace about every
thing from street paving to a sugar
substitute, from medicine to stove
polish and from dyestuffs to the
most destructive Of explosives.
Next to brains, chemistry won the
world war. il furnished the arms,
the ammunition, the deadly gases,
tne smoke screens and the flammen-
werfer. Still more, chemistry has
promoted the arts of peace. Steel in
It's various alloys of softness and ex-
treme hardness, aluminium, invar,

laboratory. Corncobs are converted

Another Irish Chess Move.

The fact that when DAVID LLOYD
GEORGE called off the conference on
the Irish settlement because Of the
Sim Fein conditions DE VALERA i'm
mediately telegraphed the Prime Min
lister a wordy explanation Of what he
really and truly did mean empha-
sizes how the negotiations have been
marred by pretty shabby methods OF
playing politics on both sides.
OF course it was not fact that
the Dali Eireann representatives
could go to the conference with the
independent sovereignty of Ireland
already conceded before they went,
and DE VALERA knew it was not a
fact. 1t was not fact that this was
the only condition on which Sim
Fein could or would negotiate, and
De VALERA knew 1t was not fact.
1t was not fact, as LLOYD GEORGE
declared, that If he had received the
Irish delegates In the face OF DE
vALEaAs assertion that they repre-
sented free and independent soy-
ereignty, that very reception would
have made Ireland free and inde-
pendent sovereignty, and LLOYD
GEORGE knew it was not fact. 1t
was not fact that LLOYD GEORGE by
such action or any other action Of
his own could bestow Independent
sovereignty upon Ireland, and LLOYD
GEORGE knew it was not fact.
On the other hand, it was a fact
that the only thing there was to dis
cuss was the status of Ireland in the
British Empire, whether De VALERA
asserted his country was an indepen-
dent sovereignty or whether LLOYD
GEORGE asserted 1t could not be, and
both LLOYD GEORGE and DE VALERA
knew 1t was a fact.
What both these gentlemen want
to discuss and arrange, expect to
discuss and arrange and are ma
n9uvring to discuss and arrange
Is form of self-government for
Ireland within the British "commu-
nifty of nations" under a state of
dominionship such as that Of Canada
and other self-governing members Of
the empire. If they talked less to
each other in the public prints about
it, wrote fewer letters about it for
public consumption and sent fewer
kilograms about it to keep the polit-
ical pot boiling, but got down to the
plain practical business Of sitting
around table and working out the
problem, the Irish question would be
settled soon and settled right.

China on the Stage.
Objections to the Impression Given
by a Current Play.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The play
called "The Poppy Cod gives most
erroneous representation OF Chinese lile'

these: Opening personal letter, ruthlcss'y
declining assistance to friend In grave
difficulty and shamefully persuading for
eirners to smoke opium. ]. however,
have never heard of or read about such
n misconduct. nor has any other Chinese
henrd OF or known about such an un-
worthy Chinese.
The author of the play or the man
ager of tho theatre might say that this
play II only intended to show the marked
difference between tho old ana new
China. But the nero fact Is that such
things az dramatized In that play have
never existed. / have been often
greatly disappointed by the various chi
ncse-American dramas, comedies or
moving pictures shown in this country.
But this play is the worst one / have
ever witnessed.
China has always looked upon this
country as her best friend. In fact, In
recent years our friendly relation toward
this republic has been greatly aug
mented. This play. regret to say.
will undoubtedly irritate all Chinese In
this country, IL they are informed or II.
This play gives a most unworthy view
OF my beloved country and my peace
loving people. z. IL. LIN.

SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER IS. 1921.
Special Interests Indeed!

The rental received by the city for
twenty-four of its piers was at the
rate of $1,4S4,000 year. The charge
to shipowners or borrowers for wharf
age and services was at the rate OF
$5,6S5, 900 year.
Such was the testimony before the
Meyer committee. 1t does not cover
the whole story of the pier leases,
for it refers to only two dozen piers.
But it puts the scandal where the
public can see it in big figures.
Four million dollars for the mid
dlemen. That is nearly three times
as much as the city received, gross.
1t is enough to pay the entire ex-
penses of this city for week.
One of two things would have hap
pened under an honest and intelli-
gent city administration. Either the
city would have received the $4,000
600 or the dock rents would have
been made low enough to encourage
shipping.
Whether through dishonesty or
stupidity or mixture of the two,
the city was trimmed. 1t lost either
rents or commerce or both.
The head of the city administra-
tion, the man who appoints the Dock
Commissioner and presides over the
Sinking Fund Commission, is JOHN
f. HYLAN. He is the Mayor who
has been yawping for nearly four
years about the evil ways of special
interests.
What traction or lighting company
ever had anything proportionately as
juicy as that s4,O00,000 which the
Dock Interests got?
Or didn't they get all of that profit
Of s4,0OO,000? II they didn't, then
the public wants to know what
pockets it went into.

Paying for Repairs.
How Should the Landlords Expenses
Be Paid by Tenantsl

To THE New YORK HERALD: Mr..
Gwyn in the letter printed In your paper
seems to have the correct idea on the
rental question.
Justice Kelby's decision was certainly
correct except on the question OF re-
placements. 1t seems to me only fair
that the Items OF replacement should be
amortized by spreading them over the
years covered by the estimated life OF
the requirements. Otherwise, as Mr..
Gwyn points out, the landlord will be
taking Off each year tho amount Of
such requirements.
II the landlord Is willing to keep a
ledger account with his tenants and re-
turn to them at the end of every year
any profit he may have over 10 per
cent. return on the market value OF the
premises. In such case there could be
no objection to his deducting such re-
placement items. But even then the diff
flculty would arise of the landlords not
having the same tenants to deal with
each year.
As to the other question, of the per
cent. depreciation. there Is moro room
for difference OF opinion. 1t would seem
as IL the purpose OF such deduction was
TO furnish sinking fund for the prop
erty by which at the end OF fifty years
the owner would have accumulated
enough to rebuild his house. The prac-
tical objections are that an owner does
not keep his property for 1fty years
and does not keep per cent. as re-
serve. but treats II as incomes further,
II he did set II aside II should be COM
pounded. II the per cent. were sup
posed to cover replacement items the
answer is that II is often not enough.
In cases that I have tried / have heard
experts testify that the annual depre-
citation should be such n sum. which.
compounded at 2 per cent. for nifty
years, would produce the principal.
Why would not fair rule be to hold
that the landlord should use tho depre-
citation item for replacemcnts so far as
It goes In any one year and only charge
the excess to the tenants?

the city but she gave them the tip
of island on which is situated the
Lido, the famous bathing place, for
transit port. Here, at Alberoni.
are now being built great warehouses
and facilities for transferring goods
from ocean steamships to boats
which will carry them into the canals
connecting Venice with Lombardy
and western Europe. Alberoni will
be the advance post. 1t will be con-
nected with the new commercial
port of Mestre. on the mainland di-
rectly west OF Venice, and with Nal
ghera, the site OF the new Venetian
industrial centre. In five years. IL
all goes well, Mr.. VIVIAN says, this
new venture should be completed. 1t
will double the size of old Venice and
will cover an area Of 100000
square meters.
Venice does not expect to rival
Trieste or Fiume. Her part in the
development Of commercial Italy will
be to handle the traffic from much OF
Lombardy, the Trentino, parts OF
Switzerland and of the Tyrol and
Bavaria. This is her sphere as in
dicated by the traffic of old Venetia.
She asks or hopes for no more.
For Venice there could perhaps be
no more acceptable plan for her de-
velopment than the one which the
engineers and troops of laborers are
now endeavoring to carry through.
The glory of her maritime days will
in a measure return to her. Her
small industries, her chief pride, will
remain. Her tourists can still wander
undisturbed through her piazettas
and palaces and ride on her canals
If they will be generous enough to
appreciate her spirit Of progress by
accepting a gondola driven by a
motor instead of by the now rapidly
growing extinct gondolier.

The Rise of a New Venice.

"A new venice seemed IQlnS uu-
ettainable. You would as soon think
Of vivifying the pyramids as this
ancient capital of the old Venetian
republic, with it's tragedies of cloak,
mask and dagger, its crumbling pal
aces, rich in art OF an age long past,
its canals, bridges and gondolas. 1t
was show place of Europe, where
the tourist Of the beaten path paused
for few days and where he loaded
up on bead work, glassware and
laces. The Venetians, with their
kindly manners and softly spoken
dialect, were contented with their
tourists and the traffic in these small
industries which they brought.
1t was the world war that brought
change; the disaster Of Caporetto
cast a chill over Venice. The irrever-
ent Austrians, who dropped bombs
among her treasures, shocked her as
nothing else in modern times had.
Her small industries fed inland to
Tuscany and Lombardy, and the lace
makers who remained knit sweaters.
Business life was dead, Venice came
near starving. With the triumph of
the Italian arms Venice had to wake
from the long sleep among her
lagoons. She was forced to bear her
share Of the work of reconstruction.
And thus began the new Venice.
The refugees have been returning
and now most of them are back.
Where else could glassworkers with
ancestors in the venerable guilds of
the golden days Of the Doges ply
their trade but on the Murano island,
and where else than in Venetian door
ways or the shadows OF storied bal.
comics could woman Of Venetian
blood string beads for queens that
would be light as air and bright as
pearls? To these industries Venice
has added another, that Of toy max
ing. This new venture has proved so
successful that Venice is enlarging
utE luduuldCtuIiub ldNltl1lco. AS III
years long past she took her glass
workers to Murano so now she is
cndeavoring to concentrate her toy
makers on the Island Of Giudecca.
The step which will mean the most
TO Venice and will come nearer to
carrying her on to prosperity is the
completion Of the plans for new
industrial port. Venice was the
Queen OF the Adriatic long before
such a plan was conceived. But the
trouble was, as HERBERT VIVIAN ex.
pressed 1t in the Fortni0htlv ReUieic,
that she was hopeless habitation
for all the big, rough workers called
in by the spirit Of progress; she
was too small as we'll as too beautiful
10 house them, and with the best
will in the world they smashed price
less treasures at every turn" After
long and serious consideration she
decided against all the precedents OF
tie past that she needed these rough
workers, and on July %, 1917, she
finally entered into an agreement to
make them welcome.
She did not exactly let them into
