The MeHenry Case.

TT MUST have wrenched the heart OF President
Harding to refuse interference in the course of
justice in the case of John McHenry the young
facing death by hanging tomorrow morning.
The President, of course, fully informed of the
circumstances and the facts which have been urged
in favor of the slayer's commandments youth and
his model behavior during his trials and term in
the District jail-must have been before the Execu
tive when he declined to halt the springing of the
fatal trap.
? 70 This action by Mr.. Harding illustrates of
the penalties attaching to pre-emnence. He had
nothing to do of course, with McHenry's prosecu-
ton sentencing, but it was within his power, by
pen-stroke, to give back life to the youth who
has gone but one-thrd the normal length OF the
road. Within his power, that is, if, ignoring the
precepts of justice under that Constitution he is
to defend and abide BY he had been ruled
6y sentiment alone. He could not allow himself
so to be ruled and the word went not forth. But
it surely cost him pang.
McHenry cannot be saved by anything short
of miracle. On the of the inaicton of the
penalty the thought that had he been unable
obtain pistol with such fatal case, his life might
not now be forfeit to the law. Memory does not
serve to whether he bought the hrearm in
Washington elsewhere, but if not here, the
thing could have been accomplished with just as
much unceremonous celerity is the case in most
of the States There has been much criticism of
the Sullivan law, operative in New York, on the
that it has not reduced the carrying of
weapons by criminals, while leaving citizens tra-
vcrsing dangerous or lonely districts defenseless
The Sullivan law, could however, be so amended
as to make the obtaining of ethal instruments far
difficult. And such legislation should be made
national. Numberess fatal or serious assaults

Claims Credit as Composer.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald.
a very serious error was recently
made in the Star of this city in two
of its issues. in connection with a
song entitled Your Smile" which
was sung by Mr.. J. X. Young at a
recent banquet given by. the BOARD
of Trade. In one instance the Star
spoke of Your Smile" as having
been written for Mr.. Young and
dedicated by him to Miss Gormar, !,
and in another issue it referred to
the song as his composition.
Both the lyric and music of '.YoLr
Smile" were written by me and
dedicated by me to Miss German
soon after she took the prize for
beauty. Said song has made a hit
and has enhanced the popularity
of Mr.. YOUNG and Miss German upon
the numerous occasions when il has
been sung: but the name of the
composer has been systematically
left out of practically every &c.
count of same in the newspapers.
Patience has ceased to be a vir-
tue with me, and / think 1t is due
me that the Washington public
should now be informed who wrote
the song entitled Your Smile" so
that there may be no mistakes In
this connection in the future, anG

Plea Against Vivisection.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
l have before me a very interest
ing and minded editorial which
appeared in your excellent paper
day or two ago. and take this
opportunity of replying to same.
I desire with due courtesy to say
that the argument constantly Of
fered by our vivisectIonist oppon-
ents-to the effect that there is but
slight appreciabie suffering in vivi-
sections much less convincing to
US NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. than the pic
torial statements which vivisectors
have published for their mutual en-
lightenment over their own sigma
lures.
The old adage that "the instru-
ment does not lie" must and will
hold good in the present case to all
those willing to examine these
realistic Illustrations.
We naturally feel that our posi-
tion is unassailable since it Is upon
self-confessed descriptions of these
experiments-further sealed with
descriptive pictures-that we large
ly depend as we strive to check
this. unbelievable practice. which
has been called the "crime of the
ages"
The fact that many reform and
other physicians have shown forth
the danger to human health. and
even life itself, from the use of
these toxic preparations has proven
an added incentive to usJto protect
not only defenseless animals. but
also the over-credulous members Of
the human family.
We realize that the attempted
medical compulsion now striving
for acceptance Is but proof posi-:
tive that medical men realize. as

Article 2lS of the civil code stip-
ulates that "the wife must obey

of men have had official recogni-
tion. but the law requires that his
helpmeet should place herself

overwhelming majority.

NEW YORK. March s.-Mot,
street in Chinatown draws derelicts
from the Seven Seas to haunt the
Thousand Vices. Its tiny latticed
windows are hung with scarlet as
hamboyant as the lips of its wo-
men that smile through the night
and quiver through the day.
The little curio shops, nut and
dried fruit stores in many cases
lead to the hidden iniquity of the
subterranean depths that honey
comb the narrow street. There the
Tenderloin clique goes for its pop,
py dreams. For Broadway has
many who make poppy their god.
In recent raid in Mott street
the police found a list OF names
a Who's Who in Dopeland.' and
many are people of evident respect
ability who steal away to enter the
land of the black smoke. In the
same raid a woman in pink pa
jamas tried to parachute to safety
from a second-story window with
an umbrella.
There is still the glomour of the
old Bowery melodrama about Mott
street. which is the only thorough
fare in Chinatown not commercial
lied for skittish sightssers.
An elusive, shadowy creature.
known in Chatham Square as the
Pale Faced Moll," appears in the
big opium transactions always. She
said to live luxuriously in a quiet
section of Flatbush.
Ping Wings place in Mott street
is a dirty little hutch, decorated
with sporting pictures and photo
graphs of movie and stage stars.
There are low couches near the)
walls. hid by curtains. and, over
which are single tiny blue flames
from gas jets.
Ping is ever the bland Celestial.
With hands IN coat sleeves, he Is
sauve and tactful when the visitor
calls. He will even recite "Ex-
celsior" in pidgin English some
what after this fashion:
That mighty time he come chop
chop,
One young man walks-no can
stop; O..
Maskee snow, maskee ice,
He cally flag wi chop so nice
Topside gallow"
To all appearances his place is
an opium joint-yet no one has
ever been found smoking opium
there and when the police come Ping
shows them the hunks with artful
smile and will even reveal his
white wife far back in the interior.
Still Ping holds some mysterious
connection with Chinatown's opium
ring. His fake den is just an ex-
ample of the inscrutable ways OF
the heather Chinese.
4 few short years ago he was
star on Broadway. playing the part
of a delightful English clubman of
the haw-haw type. Then he was
starred in the movies. After that
somehow or other he could not find
a suitable part and so he played
the buffoon in a musical comedy.
Recently he tried a starring ven
ture in Canada. 'At my last
