Tong "Conspirators" Freed.

When the Chinese tong war in New
York recently reached the point Of a
daily killing police heads and the dis.
trict attorney called in the leaders of
the rival tongs and warned them that
IL the conflict continued they would be
held personally responsible as conspir-
ators. They promised to endeavor TO
stop the warfare, though protesting
that they could not be held account.

men, disclaiming any organization
hostilities. For a few hours q truce
prevailed. Then the tong killings were
renewed. On Wednesday two Hip
Sings were slain. Three On Leong
leaders were arrested and charged
with completely. Yesterday a magis.
trate discharged them. The court
ruled that no evidence had been pre-
sented to show that the three men
were implicated in any way in a plot,
and so Henry Moy. Lee Doc and Gee
Lee Min, On Leong officials. were
freed. Meanwhile Wong Fook, a. Hip
Sing, was being indicted for the muir
der OF an On Leong laundryman last
week.
Thus fails the effort to stop the tong
warfare at the source. A charge
of conspiracy against tong officials and
leaders would be one of the most diff
cult things in the world to prove. It
would be perhaps like the definition of
impossibility said to have been given
by Confucius to one Of his disciples:
The hardest thing in the world is
hunting for black cat on a dark
night when the black cat Is not there" "

appeals to the Baton Rouge Louisiana
Press, which contends that "a har
monious understanding. acquired
| through years of adjustment, is very
much stronger and sweeter and bet
ter than any domestic autocraCy such
as the word obey implies" The Bos-
ton Transcript, however, observes:
Bishop Johnson's contention by i'm
plication is that If you divide the
authority in the family you weaken
the possibility of discipline, and If
you do this you do what results in
harm 10 the public life in general.
One thing is clear enough-that the
children must learn discipline either
in the family or in after life. If they
do not. the results are what are too
often seen on the front pages Of the
newspapers"
Bishop Slattery. quoted by the
Davenport Democrat, says: Marriage
is a mutual relationship, not the sub
ordination of one to the other" and
the Democrat holds that "on a straw
vote, Bishop Slattery would have It"
In most well regulated families, &C

Coshocton Tribune adds.
Doubtless. the promise is often

as some do now," says the New Or
leans Tribune, while the New London
Day suggests that Bishop johnson
would do better to insist that the
word obey be left only for those
who want 1t; and he would do better
by telling those who want It that
even when 1t is used they had better
hold out a few mental reservations.
A similar view is taken by the Bel
| lingham Herald, which, after pralsing
| Bishop Johnson as "one OF the most
brilliant thinkers and orators of the
| church" feels impelled to say: TT
looks as IL the Bishop of Colorado.
whatever the weight of his argu-
ment, were doomed to be in a hope
less minority"
Evening star., 1925-09-11

Two Episcopal bishops, Irving P.
Johnson of Colorado and Charles L.
Slattery of Massachusetts,. have re-
vived the controversy over the word
obey" in marriage. The former pro-
tests against changing the word OF
God" and would retain the word on the
ground that the family. as a corpora
ton, requires an executive. The lat
ter upholds the idea that there is no
subordination of one person to an
other. Public opinion is divided as
usual.
The good bishop is confused as to
the word OF God in the opinion of the
Reno Gazette, for the Book of Com
mon Prayer is. for the most part. only
a translation of prayers and ritual
that, before the reign of Edward VI,
were in Latin, written by priests OF
the church. The New Orleans con-
vention will act on the theory that
what man has made he can unmake
or amend, and it might be pointed out
to the bishop, further. that the mar
riage service as we have It in America
has already omitted parts of the orig
inal Anglican service"
y X y
Bishop Johnson's reference to the
family as a corporation, with. the
man as the head or presided over by
a committee of two" Is met by the New
York Evening Post with the argu-
ment: IF Bishop johnson can get. a
corporation view of marriage estab-
lished so that the man can be voted
into the position of president and with
his wife constitute the executive COM
mittee, and be the managing director
Of the firm, we are likely to see some
progress toward the solution of a veX-
ing problem. But even then there Will
be some trouble. for no board OF direc-
tors ever takes a pledge to obey the
president"
"The only flaw in this dream about
the dear departed past" the Kansas
time ever existed. Not for a single
instant do we believe husbands
bossed their wives a century ago, any
more than they do now. It's only
these present-day fiappers who choke
over word in the ceremony" The
logic Of the advocates of elimination
of "obey" is admitted by the Ann
Arbor Times-News, which declares:
IA very good reason for elimination
of obey would be that It serves no
useful purpose; it doesn't mean any
thing. Leave it in the ceremony If
you choose, but the fact remains that
obeying simply isn't being done by
either Of the parties involved in the
nuptial proceedings"
In an interpretation Of 'fhe new
feminine philosophy" the lincoln
Star says this school Of thought has
urged the woman to go beyond the
walls Of her home, to enlarge her
horizon, to enter the fields Of business
and industry and art and finance and
education. 1t has suggested to her
that the sacrifice and the responsible
tiles of the wife and mother are SO
great that she should hesitate to make
them. DIR. Johnson's thoughts of
marriage may be old-fashioned and
reactionary, but they are inspired by
a situation which challenges atten-
ton"
Referring also to the "futurist fe-
male" the Charlotte Observer sug-
gests that she will remind US that
IL mans headship of the family was
bottomed on his duty to provide and
protect the husband has been de-
prived Of that headship or leadership
by woman's ability to provide for and
protect herself"

Hotel Accommodates
With Seven-Foot Beds
To tho Editor of The Star;

My attention has been called to an
interview with Mr.. Benjamin Ostlin

comfortable accommodations for tall
men in hotels and Pullman cars. He
stated that the Willard Hotel man.

beds.

He goes with eager haste.
He wades knee-deep in clinging mud
Where microbes gayly float,
Or braves the slow, meandering Hood
In an uncertain boat.
And when his homeward trip is made
He has bunch that's nice,
For which he learned that he had paid

Editor of The Star :

EOltor OF Ane star:
It is only a few days off when the
schools of Washington will be open

railroad companies don't make a rate
to the school children, since many
travel from one section Of the city To
another to attend school
While in Baltimore recently no
ticed poster in the center of street

Ding, dong, school is open, the s.
cent fares for school children are now

I was informed that the railroads
there make a scent rate to school
children during the school term. Why
don't the street railroads of Washing

Through The Static

Ten thousand riveting machines, pile drivers and trip hammers spent the evening with us last night, but between the concerts by these instru- ments we could now and then hear the sound of voice or some note carelessly struck on a fiddle, plano or some other musical instrument. But, all kidding aside, the static was had last night. It's always bad. but we mean that there was lots of 1t. It started early in the evening with q few unobtrusive crackles but 1t soon assumed the gigantic propor- tions of q battalion of machine guns on heavy duty. We weren't bothered with fading. For the most part it was impossible to get near enough to a station to find out whether it faded or not. The customary volume was lacking too, which added to the general jollity of the occasion.
 One of the boys from the office was with HIS during the lombard ment and he expressed the opinion that never in all his experience as 8 radio fan, about three months, had he ever heard anything to beat it. He should visit us often and we will let him hear some real static. We live right near the place where it's made, apparently.
 By this time you will realize that we didn't bring in many stations and that we're merely trying to kill space by raving along on some alien topics. We saw a horse and wagon yester- day.
 We tuned in on WNAC for the first time successfully just as the station was signing off for the night after the Maloney-McCreary tistic battle at the Boston arena. The fight 1 lasted two rounds and then McCreary l lay down on the job. so we are told. But that doesn't help out the static" column.
