Due SOlemnity
In Reporting Is
LAWYERS Request

chicago. Jan. Il "a. P.) - AS a
means Of eliminating the formula
ton of public opinion upon matters
to be judged by juries alone. under
coordination of press and bar, COM
mittees of the Chicago Bar Associ-
alton are planning to recommend two
new steps with relation to publicity
for courtroom trials. These are the
prohibition of the taking of photo
gre phs of courtroom scenes, and
measures to ensure reporting of jul
dicial proceedings as solemn trials
rather than theatricals.
The Chicago Bar Association
Record in it's last issue says:
The present-day practice In re-
| porting sensational lawsuit in the
public press is typified by the publ
/ cation of photographs of courtroom
scenes. The attendant stories stress
in like fashion those features which
excite popular attention. This sat
| ing of the public appetite for the I'M
usual not only brings the undesir-
able results incident to all scandal,
| but is peculiarly harmful in its eff
! feet upon the administration of JUS
! tice.
Thus we find the presentation of
! a trial in the light of a theatrical
performance rather than a dispas-
sionate inquiry into the merits of
| the case. This is bound to lessen re-
spect for the law and its instrument
! talitieS.
Akin to this is the creation Of an
erroneous conception of the true
J working of the judicial machinery.
Frequently there results the formu-
lation of a public opinion upon a
matter to be judged by the jury
alone. And of course there is the
catering to the public appetite for
scandal. with the consequent detri-
ment to the public welfare.
ut Is believed that a co-ordinated
effort on the part of the press and
the bar will in time bring about the
desired development in this import
ant field of reporting, and that a
uniform rule which will place all
newspapers upon the same basis in
! this respect will be welcomed by
thsm as well as by the bar.
1.-The Chicago Bar Association,
through it's Committee on Relations
of the Press to judicial Proceedings
and its Committee on the Judiciary.
now has this work in hand. and. as
first concrete measure, will direct
its efforts against the publication of
photographs of courtroom scenes.
1t is planned to recommend to the
courts the adoption of a rule pro-
hibiting absolutely the taking Of any
photographs in court. Such a rule
would eliminate at once one of the
most potent means of engaging the
attention Of the public. Next will
come the proposal of measures to en-
sure the reporting of court proceed
+! ings. not as dramatic or bizarre in
cidents, but as solemn trials"

Problem Of Open
Roads in Winter
Creates Interest

The announcement that open
roads between this city and Augusta
had been considered at the meeting
of the directors of the Chamber OF
Commerce in Waterville. Tuesday,
has already created much interest
Robert Owen, principal of Oak Grove
Seminary in Vassalboro. said yester-
day that he strongly favored the idea
and said that he. with the backing
of his school. would lend the pro-
ject all the support they could mus
ter. Mr.. Owen said that the snow
bound road, as it exists for at least
two months each year, causes much
difficulty in getting to and from the
seminary and, in case of sickness,
when 1t was necessary to summon a
doctor, clear road to the city would
be of untold value.
A report came from Skowhegan
| that the tdea had been received with
favor by number of citizens of the
town and they are to start a cam
paign to have the road open between
their town and Waterville. The great
asset that it would be to business
has led several business men to make
the statement that they would be
willing to make liberal contributions
to fund to keep the road clear.

Secrets Barred of
Quiet London Streets

London, Jan. ga. P. by MaiD-
So many buildings are being torn
down in London nowadays, to make
way for modern and comparatively
large modern structures, that various
sections of the stolid old city are TAX
ing on the busting appearance of O
new and rapidly growing American
town. Also the demolitionS often
give passersby unexpected glimpses
of ancient houses hitherto hidden
from view.
One gets occasional glimpses Of ia
nous old landmarks that never be-
fore, at least III living memory, have
been fully exposed to public view.
One of these is the Old Savoy chapel
which. with the trees in it's little
churchyard. can now be seen from
the top of a bus in the Strand.
Another is in Bishopgate where
quaint little st. Ethelburga, one Of
the oldest and smallest churches in
London, fronted with two ancient
and tiny shops. is now suddenly re-
vealed by the pulling down of build
ings at its side. 1t was here that
Henry Hudson and his companions
came before they sailed from the
Thames on their last voyage to the
frozen north.

Boys CLUB TO
Whip into SHAPE
BASKETBALL TEAM

With the original applicants for
membership to the Waterville Boys
Club all enrolled. the roster of the
club stands at 495 members. There
is waiting list of about 25O and
these boys will be taken in after
time enough has passed for the club
to get running smoothly, probably
two or three weeks.
The first action was taken last
night for the formation of a basket
ball team at the club. Thirty-fivc
reported in uniform to Robert Will
kinson, who is to coach the aggre-
CATION. Although many of these
boys are younger than the average
run of high school students, some
Of them have the weight and
strength of boys older than them
selves and a fast quintet will be got
ten together. Several of those try
ing out for the team have had bas-
ketball experience at high schools
and they will prove valuable materi-
al to the coach.
The idea is to have a league of
several teafs within the club to con-
test for top honors of the club. From
these teams first team can be Sc
lected to meet teams from other or
CARNATIONS. Next week at some time
a captain and manager will be chos-
en- for the team and an effort will
be made to arrange games with any
of the smaller high schools around
Watcrville or with any organization
of boys.
Yesterday afternoon there were
go boys at the club and every ia
cility for giving pleasure was made
full use CT. The demand on the
pool tables has been so great that
Frank J. Goodrich. superintendent
Of the club, has ordered two more
tables for the sfaller boys. He wish
es to have all the tables in the up
stairs room SO that the room where
they now are can be used for q
game room. Six new carom boards
are also to be added to the club
equipment.
A gift to the club that is much
appreciated is a wall clock from the
Hartman Jewelry store. This has
been hung on a wall on the first
floor and shortly Sam Freeman is
to provide similar clock, which
will be placed on the second floor.
This will do away with the necessity

o'clock in the evening, and telling

Polish Coins Made In
u. S. Unsatisfactory

Warsaw, Jan. ia. p. by Mai)-
Both consignments of silver coins or
dered by Poland from the United
States mint at Philadelphia and the
private British mint at birmingham
were found unsatisfactory by the
Polish government. The British roy
al mint. which promised to inspect
the Polish coins minted by the pri-
vate mint, sent one of its directors
to Poland Immediately after the re-
port from Poland as to the unsati
factory coinage reached England.
The defective minting in England
is attributed to the fact that the
coins were struck from dies made in
France not corresponding to British
minting machinery. 1t has been de-
cided that the defective coins will be
withdrawn, and the British mint will
remint them with dies made espec-
tally for the purpose.
Poland is to suffer no loss through
the defective mining of the first
consignment of coins.

/N.k:sI f ~

deviation from the regulations would
be made where the governors chill
dren are concerned, and they would
be required to submit to the physi-
cal and dental examinations just the
same as any other and all pupils in
their classes.
The two young sons of Governor
and Mrs. Brewster We're enrolled in
the public schools shortly after the
chief executive and his family took
up their residence in this city fol-
lowing Governor Brewster's inau-
guration. Charles, the older of the
boys, has been attending school at
the Lincoln building as n pupil in
Grade GA. and Owen. the younger
son, is a pupil in the third grade at
the Nash school.
The physical examination. which
1t is understood is compulsory for
all pupils, is conducted under the
supervision of the school physician,
DR.. Nj. A. Priest, and the school
nurse, Miss Una V. Clark. The ex-
animation for the most part consists
of taking the weight and measure
ments of the children at regular pc
RODS, and the data thus assembled
is recorded for file and a copy sent
to the parents for their informa-
ton and guidance in taking rene
dial action. where the examination
indicates the pupil to be under
weight Corrective action is entire
ly the perogative of the parent.
There is also a system of dental in
spection conducted by the dental in
spector, who at the present time is
DR.. Walter G.. Thomas.
When interviewed last evening in
regard to the request that the older
boy, q pupil at the Lincoln school,
be excused from complying with the
examination requirements. Governor
Brewster stated that the action was
in accordance with their custom,
when residents of Portland, where
it had been ruled that physical ex-
aminations in the city schools were
not compulsory. The governor made
haste to explain that he did not en-
pect any special Differentiation i'll re-
gard to his own children in the Au-
gusta schools. and that if it were
true that the examinations are COM
pulsory. he certainly would be glad
to comply with the law as would
any other good citizen of Augusta.
Governor Brewstcr's statement of
his attitude in the matter, made last
evening. was as follows:
In Portland. the rule has been
by the health officer. corporation
counsel and superintendent of
schools. all in agreement, that chill
dren are not to he physically exam
ined if their parents ask that they
be excused except in a case of con-
tagious disease or absence on &C
count of illness.
Under the rules. a parent SIM
ply advises a teacher of their de-
sire that their child be excused at
the opening Of the school year. In
accordance with this practice to
which we were accustomed, Mrs.
Brewster requested the excuse of
our children.
I'VE naturally expect gladly to
comply with all lawful regulations or
requirements of the constituted au-
thorities like all other good citizens"

queen Marie of Jugoslavia, a Ru-

She appeared at Skopie in a local

ethnologists retortcd spiritc1ly that
Queen Marie was wearing a Serbian
