they must obey American laws, while
there, but nevertheless they remain
French ships. They have the right to
carry what cargoes they choose SO
long as they undertake not to snug
gle them across the American bor-
der. We felt able to accept the recent
ruling to the effect that liquor should
not be consumed on French vessels
while lying in American ports even
though that was a hardship in itself.
But we feel unable to swallow the
dictum that we must throw over
board our precious stocks of wine as
miles of the promised land.
This applies especially to vessels
that merely pass through American
waters without stopping, as, for in
stance. from st. Pierre MiQuelon to
Martinique. We shall make repre-
sentations to the American govern
ment and If they have no effect we
may have to institute reprisals 1t
ought not to prove difficult to annoy
american ships touching at Havre,

|D.C. APPEALS COURT
|GETS THREE JUDGES
Members of Customs Tri-
bunaI Assigned by Chief
Justice Taft.
UNDER ACT OF CONGRESS
District Omitted From the Enact
ment Authorizing Permanent
Appointments to Bench.

Chief Justice Taft OF the United
signed Judges James Francis Smith
Orion Metcalf Barber and George
Ewing Martin of the United States
Court of Customs Appeals to serve on
the District appellate bench.
This action, giving the District the
services Of three more judges, was
taken at the request of Chief JUS
tice Smyth OF the Court of Appeals
At present only one Of the three
will be called on, it was stated
The work Of the appellate tribunal
1t is expected. will be materially ex-
pedited by the new arrangements
The designation of the judges is au-
thorized by the act of Congress
which added twenty-four men to the
federal judiciary.
Court Takes Recess.
The District Court of Appeals took
recess yesterday afternoon until
Thursday. when one of the newly as
signed Judges will sit with Chief JUS
tice Smyth and Justice Robb.
Congress failed to pass the request
for appointment Of permanent addi-
tional Justices. asked for by the
SouTI oI Appeals ana the DIS
trtct Supreme Court. and did not in
clude the District in the places to
which the new Judges might be sent
but made the services of the judges
OF the Customs Appeals Court avail
able both for the local Court of Ap-
peals and for the District Supreme
Court.
II more than two criminal courts
are made necessary by the trial OF
war-fraud cases, it is regarded as not
unlikely that one of the judges from
the Customs Appeals Court may be
asked to sit in the District Supreme
Court
Problem Nearer Solution.
District Attorney Peyton C. Gordon
Will find his problem brought abou,
by reason Of crowded courts nearer
solution through the provision that the
new judges will be available for the
District Supreme Court. Mr. Gordon
had asked Chief Justice Mccoy to au-
thprlze an extra court to aid in clear
ing up the docket of the criminal
courts. but did not expect fulfillment in
this manner. he said.
When the Court of Appeals reconvenes
Justice Van Orsdel. relieved by one
OF the new judges, will prepare opinions
IN the fifteen cases heard since the
court opened. 1t is probable that one
of the new justices will sit at ali
future sessions Of the court. thus re-
lleVing one of the regular justices OF
the duty of writing opinions. K

WANTSU.S. TOPASS
ON ALIEN ENTRANTS
Passport Machinery III
Adapted to Our Methods,
Secretary Davis Says.
HAS BILL TO CURE EVILS
Head of Labor Department Declares
Foreign Sovereign Powers Con-
troll Prospective Emigration.

Passport machinery of the United
States at the present time lis at most
clumsy and i'll adapted to our meth
ods." Secretary of Labor Davis de-
clared today. Mr.. Davis said it is
high time, "if we are to continue to
rely upon alien labor for development
of our resources, that We ourselves
have something to say about the kind
of emigrants to be given the privi-
lege of taking part in our national
affairs"
At the present time. Mr. Davis said.
the greatest fault with our immigra-
tion system is that it gives the privi-
lege of selection to the sovereign
powers of other nations. Instead OF
the passport given by foreign gov
ernments. the Labor Secretary said
we should set Il standard, those
qualified to be determined on the
other side. giving our certificate OF
qualification to those entitled to ad-
mission
Will Have Bill introduced.
Secretary Davis has ready for in
PRODUCTION at the next session of Con-
g-ress a bill providing for the exam
ination of prospective emigrants.
Among the tests to which the emf
grants will be subjected under the
bill, and in which the United States
will be the directing power, instead
of other nations, will be the blood
test, the physical strength and condi-
ton, the mental test, to prevent the
immigrant becoming q. public charge,
and character test by which repre-
sentatives of the United States will
verify the standing of 4 prospective
emigrant in his home community.
Two results of far-reaching impor-
tance to the future citiZenry of this
country would result from such eX-
aminations, Mr.. Davis pointed out
First, they will prevent breaking up
of homes and families, all or part of
which might be found inadInissible
upon arrival: and second. would give
the United States a record of the in
divldual upon which our progress for
America nization and education could
he intelligently based. Better immi-
grafton should be the watchword. for
it means better citizenship and better
institutions Mr.. Davis added.
Urges Pending Measure.
In connection with the immigrant
examination bill. Secretary Davis
again urges passage of the bill intro
duced at the last session of Congress
providing for enrolment and educa-
ton of the alien. One of the major
features of the bill. the Labor Secre-
tary pointed out, is that under its
provisions the immigrant will be
taught the English language, so that
the United States will be nation
with common language. The TWO
bills go hand in hand, Mr.. Davis
added.
If the immigrant is selected by rep
resentatives of our government with
the view to the qualities mentioned,
then welcomed as member of the
republic upon his arrival and educat-
ed as to the extent of his duties and
privileges, the solution of the prob
lem will be an asset to the govern
ment, otherwise grave dangers face
US in unrestricted immigration"

him some ten minutes later. The
authorities found .22-caliber pistol
at the Hayes home. All the evidence
shows the murder was committed
with a .32 automatic, which elected
empty shells as 1t fired.
Here are the points the authorities
cannot or will not discuss and the
questions that are being asked in
New Brunswick today:
How could an excited boy, firing on
an impulse to avenge a friend, shoot
so true as to send one bullet crash
ing into the rector's brain and put
three bullets into the woman's fore
head. not more than an inch apart?
Why should Hayes have shot the
woman he thought to be Pearl Bah
mer when vengeance was desired by
his friend on the stepfather?
Why was Mrs. Mills throat cut
from ear to ear?
Why were the love letters of the
pair scattered about their bodies, as
If to tell the world that a flaming
vengeance had laid them low?
Why was the calling card of the
rector propped up against his foot, SO
that any one who came within read
ing distance might easily identify the
MANI?
Why were the slain couple ar
ranged like a. loving pair asleep in
each others arms?
Why should young Hayes, a boy of
much better repute than Schnider and
who knew the BANNER girl but
slightly, take vengeance into his own
hands On the shortest provocation?

Diversion of Travel

The newspaper believes that even
