Wise experts were called in to in
form the judge. The dignihed per-
sonincation of justice in that country
pondered long, Seriously he prepar-
ed the audience in the court room for
his weighty decision
Then, not until deep consideration
had been given the matter. he declar-
ed that he believed, after thorough in
vestigation, that the bee was able to
sting but once, therefore, the COM
plant alleging that there had been
five stings by one bee must be wrong
and the decision went to the owner OF
the bees, each of which had but one
sting in life.
Thus the poor bee never may sting
but once; the dog, once, without be-
ing stigmatized by the term vicious"
All about us are people who have
been "stung" many times-but sell

Many men would be glad if others
possessed, like the bee, but one
chance to sting.

PITY THE POOR BEE.

Every dog has his day" and, ac-
cording to the law of the State Of
New York, every dog is entitled to
one bite before he may be declared
vicious.
In other words if a man is bitten
by dog he may not recover dam
ages from the owner Of the dog un-
less that owner has reason to believe
the dog was vicious Such owner,
says the law, may have no reason
to believe the dog other than of the
kindest disposition until the animal
has shown the disposition to bite or
has taken his "one bite"
Now comes the bee The much
abused little maker Of sweets seems
to be not half as bad as the evil

brought suit against his neighbor be

MEETING OPENS
EDUCATION WEEK
Large Audience Listens to
Speeches Supporting Movement

American Educational Week began
yesterday with a mass meeting at the
Palace theater under the auspices of
Eddy-Glover Post, American Legion.
A large and enthusiastic audience
was present and an excellent program
of speeches and singing was rendered.
1t. Col. George Catlin, commandant
of the local r. o. T. c., presided and
introduced the speakers. The Civil
War veterans occupied a box as the
guests of the Legion. George B.
Chandler, state compensation COM
missioner, and Rev. J. Leo Sullivan
were the principal speakers, and their
talks were well received.
Rev, John l.. Davis, pastor of the
Trinity Methodist church, opened the
meeting with prayer for the success
Of the movement and, at the same
time called upon divine aid for the
men partaking in the disarmament
conference at Washington.
Mrs. Howard Horton, accompanied
on the piano by Theron Hart sang

Mayor O. F. Curtis described the edu-
cational facilities of the country and

Week.

He was followed by the Rev. J. Leo
Sullivan, who gave a rousing speech
on "Americanism." He outlined the
great advantages to be derived from
a young generation highly educated,
and the importance of a highly train
ed staff of teachers to carry on the
work. He spoke of America as the
leader of the nations in learning and
made a stirring appeal for the support
of the schools in all their depart
ments.
Mr., Chandler spoke on What
America costs and What it Stands
For" He illustrated the cost of the
past wars of this country and showed
how in the schools and other public
buildings, the cost would be overcome,
He narrated experiences at Chateau

especial plea for the United States to

mo DELAYS"

- direct ms WIN lne novel means
contemplated by this government last
Thursday, for the interception of
Charles w. Morse at sea before he
reached France, comes the news that
Attorney General Daugherty plans
mo delay" in regard to Morse, want
ed here while his ship contracts are
under examination.
Strange and new as it was to realize
that it was planned to intercept man
Of Morses probable financial standing
even though possessing his unenviable
past record, in the way contemplated
stranger is it to know that he will not
be allowed TO remain in Paris, or go to
Rome to consult the physician on
whom he seems to rely.
Perhaps it will be regretted that
more leniency was not shown in his
case-that he was not permitted to
visit his doctor. On this the govern
ment must take its chances. No one
would be more distressed than would
the Attorney General if the course he
has taken should result in serious i'm
pairment of Morse's health or should
result in his death. Again, this chance
must be taken. But there is a greater
matter to be considered.
No one fails to realize that the peo-
pie demand a changed order of affairs
today. The scandals resulting from a
failure of justice in so many cases Of
prominence in the past have been
recorded for years as cumulative evil
dence that red tape" and delay often
caused miscarriage of justice when
our laws were fair and those who ad-
ministered them anxious to see that
justice was done.
Men have been too reimbursement
in public offices. Poor excuses SEEM
ing plausible under the arguments of
those who advanced them, have been
accepted and a miscarriage of justice
often has been the result.
Wealth and social standing have
played too prominent parts.
The people today ask and demand
that there shall be mo delay" in the
administration of affairs such as the
return to this country of a man who
was pardoned many years ago before
serving his full term in Federal prison
because he was declared to be at the
point of death.
If there had been no credulity in
the matter Bergdoll would never have
escaped; he would have been paying
the penalty of his acts of the most
despicable disloyalty to this country.
Wise Is the stateman able to break
away from the political traditions Of
the past and govern his acts accord
ing to this new feeling of the people
which has been growing stronger and
stronger with each new disappoint-
ment which comes when some new
wrong is not rghted, some old oppres-
sive statute allowed to remain in force
or when the formerly to be expected
'red tape" or delay interferes with the
carrying out of justice.
If there were mo delays" in the
city government, now, or had there
never been such procrastination in the
past, many Of the complaints which
have found their way into city hall,
into the press and into the minds of
men and women, would have been
things unknown.

When the matter was brought to
The attention of Chairman P. f. King
of the board of police commissioners
this morning he gathered what facts
were available and turned them over
to Chief w. J. Rawlings of the police
department. The chief was ordered
to conduct a thorough investigation
at once and turn over both sides of
the case to the police board for fur
Their action.
Accuses Policeman
The raid took place about $50 last
night. Mrs. Povlitski was washing
dishes in the rear of the restaurant,
she stated when the front door was
opened and the two policemen sWoop-
ed down upon the lunch counter A
demand was made that the door lead
ing to an ante-room, in which the
complainant was washing dishes, be
opened The order was complied
with. Policeman Hart and O1Iara
dashed into the rear room and began
to search the place. After waiting
moment, the woman walked back to
the sink where she was washing.
Fearing that she was about to destroy
evidence, it is believed, Policeman
O'Hara, according to her statements,
grabbed her and pushed her with
such force that she fell violently
against a door several feet distant.
Her old wounds, the result Of two
operations, gave her such pain that
she called in DR.. julius Rupert, who
expressed a belief that the woman
would have to be taken to the hos
pital shortly to undergo treatment as
a result of the alleged abuse.
