PIST0I-TOTING.

Control of the possession, sale and
use Of revolvers within the District
of Columbia is proposed by n bill In
PRODUCED in the Senate during the
last days OF its session by Senator
Capper. The provisions of the bill are
notably more severe than those in
the Maryland law, but they seem at
the same time so practicable as to
deserve study by those who are con
cerned with the suppression of crime
within this State.
The bill provides that all who deal
in revolvers or pistols within the Dis
trict of Columbia shall be licensed
that dealers shall sell only TO persons
known to them or properly identified
that they shall record the name and
address of every purchaser and de.
tails of the transaction, and shall for.
ward copy of this information tc
the Police Department. Private citi
zens are forbidden to carry revolver.
unless licensed TO do so by a judg,
OF the police court.
Penalties for the violation of thes
regulations are sevtre. Unauthorize,
carrying of revolvers is punishable h,
not less than a years Imprisonment
and any person committing or at
tempting TO commit a crime whe,
armed with revolver or pistol is I
be imprisoned for not less than fiv
years. in addition TO the sentenc
which the crime brings on him, Thi
penalty for committing crime whe
armed may be doubled and tripled 70
the second and third offense, and tn
fourth offense may bring life i'm
prisonment.
Maryland's attempt to control tn
use OF revolvers is based upon a la,
which imposes n fine or Imprisonment
for the carrying of concealed weapon
without reasonable excuse, or fo
carrying them openly with intent I
inture. The maximum fine is 81 90
and the maximum term of imprisor
ment allowed Is two years one G

dates in Pennsylvania report no ex-

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION.

The thirty first annual State Con-
vention of the Christian Endeavor
Union of Delaware, now in session in
THE city, is very important affair
the proceedings of which will prove
very 'nteresting 70 our people. IL is
attended by delegates from all sections
of the State, and reports will be made
of the work of the union and its sub
ordinate bodies during the year.
The Christian Endeavor Society is
one of the most important and In
fluential of the various organizations
that have been formed for the purpose
of promoting Christian fellowship and
making the world a better place for
people to live in. 1t is modest in It's
procedure. not conspicuous or flaring
in its methods, but Its influence for
good living and the advancement of
the cause of real religion Is potent and
/ far-reaching.
There Is no doubt the sessions OF
this body will be productive of much
/ good, and also there is no doubt our
people Will do all that is possible &c
make the stay Of the delegates here
both pleasing and Profitable.

1t is stated in Washington that the
government has instituted negotia-
lions for having q say in the nomina-
ton and selection OF judges of the
international Court of Justice set up
by the League of Nations. II is said
on the authority of a spokesman for

ton thinks we'll of the International
Court Of Justice and believes it will
be in harmony with American policy

judges.
