"And 1 challenge you, Judge Mills
to justify your treatment of Mother
Jones.
Declaring that the only way
Judge Mills can win this case, and
he wants to badly, is to put your
heart in the place of your brains by
his oratory," Mr. Davis asserted,
adding that he feared "only preju-
dice and eloquence. l say That this
defendant, on the evidence, cannot
lose"
He appea.edj to the jury to do
what was possible TO remove the
charge Of fraud from Mrs. Rhine
lander, the only charge which can
be removed, for he said, "she will
walk out of court Stunned by the
colored race and stunned by the
white race"
Mrs! Rhinelander's head was bowed

MAY your verdict, before God and
man, be fair!'
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Dec. -
The jurors in the suit brought by
Leonard Kip Rhine ander to annul
his marriage TO Alice Rhinelander,
the daughter of a Negro, reached an
agreement shorty after lI:25 P. M.
tonight, twelve hours after the case
was placed in their hands.
The findings of the jurors were
sealed and handed to the clerk Of
the court, who Immediately placed
the enve ope in the safe in the court
house. The jurors then filed out of

Eyes and sealed up" said one of
the jurors.
All hurried out and went to their
various homes. There was no hint
of what the findings were.
The jurors had been locked Up at
P. NJ with instructions from Jus
'ice Morschauser that IL they reached,
an agreement they were TO seal it
and he would receive 1t tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.
The jury had considerable diff :
Guilty in reaching an agreement
This was evidenced by the fact that
at 10 P. NJ. persons outside the jury
room heard loud argument and the
banging of fists on tables.
The nearest approach to an intima
zion of how some of the jurors felt
came late in the afternoon when
tu9y asked TO have some of the tes.
tlr.ony read to them Their request
was interpreted as being favorable to
Mrs. Rhinelander.
T'Ec reason for su n deduction was
this: When tho jurors lied into
court. after attorneys on both
sides had been hurriedly summoned,
they asked that Rhinelander's testi-
mony relative to that given by Bar
bara Reynolds, New Rochelle news
paper woman, be read to them. Mrs
Reynolds had testified that when she
asked Rhinelander if he knew that
he had married the daughter of

know it. nut that his father did not
know IT, and that it would wreck
his anC his wiie's happiness if his
father learned of it.

A Tragedy of Law Enforcement.

Two lawbreakers yesterday morn
ing in flight from the police drove
their motor car into another machine
with such force that one Of the occu-
pants, a sister of mercy attached to
one Of the hospitals. in this city, a
most worthy woman, greatly beloved,
was killed. The fugitives whose flight
caused the tragedy were bootleggers.
Now a protest is voiced against the
practice of the police in enforcement
of the prohibition law of. chasing rum
cars" through the streets of this city
in a manner to endanger innocent per.
sons.
If because of the chance that In
their flight from the police rum run
ners may cause damage to others they
are to be relieved from pursuit. en-.
forcement Of the law is checked, is,
indeed, almost nullified. There is, of
course, no comparison between the
death Of the woman victim Of yester.
days accident and the transportation
Of a few bottles of Illicit liquor. In
trinsically it would have been far bet.
ter that the bootleggers escape for
the time than that this woman be
killed. But If fear that such acci-
dents result checks the police in their
efforts to overtake lawbreakers,
whether bootleggers Or other Grim.

Enforce the Fireworks Rule I!
A general order has been issued

n general order has been issued TO
the police for strict enforcement of
the regulations forbidding the sale of
dangerous fireworks in Washington
Already two people have been arrest
ed for violation Of these rules. A little
boy was dangerously hurt the other
day by the explosion Of. firecracker
that had been obtained from a local
dealer.
These rules were adopted some years
ago as means Of preventing accidents
In Washington in the course Of the
celebration" Of Independence day.
Washington had made a gruesome
record of fatalities and Gripping in
Juries. When the regulations were
adopted and strictly enforced the mum.

Still the children of Washington
have been obtaining supplies Of fire.
works from stores across the boun-
daries in Maryland and Virginia.
Most Of the mishaps due to explosions
have been attributable to these sup
plies. Now it would appear that Dis
trict venders have also been selling
these dangerous goods. and the pres
ent order TO the police is to effect a
cleanup Of the local area.

sale OF these dangerous goods they
should be made so by direct action.
The lives Of the little folks Of this

1t will probably require only few

deadly traffic.

Der Of Senate bills and resolutions in
troduced was 1882, as compared with
S2,632 introduced in the House.
The Vice President calls attention
to the manner in which the self-inter-
est Of the Senators operates to force
through, without real consideration, a
great many of the bills enacted.
The legislative jam, brought about by
lengthy consideration Of important
bills which for one reason or another
are vigorously contested by a minor
ity, is compelled to yield at intervals
to allow the less important measures,
in which individual Senators are
strongly interested, to rush through
pell nell, many of them acted upon
after the mere reading of the titles.
Such system does not lead to well
considered legislation. The threat of
tilibuster has forced many an amend
ment upon an appropriation bill that
a majority Of the Senate disapproves,
and such amendments are frequently
retained in conference with the House.
merely because it is realized that some
Senator stands ready to talk the meas
ure to death if his wishes are not ac-
ceded to.
1t is not pleasant picture, partic-
ularly when raised for the observa-
ton of people who have been taught
to believe in majority rule.
In the last eight Congresses, seven
extra sessions have been held, due, in
nearly every instance, to filibusterinE
tactics in the Senate. Clearly, unlim-
tied debate does not prevent legisla-
ton so much as 1t delays it, or per
mits legislation to be jammed through
in undigested form.
The habit of having Congress al
most continuously in session. which
grew up in the last 10 or Is years,
is scarcely a good habit. 1t leads
frequently to demands by the States
to have matters handled by the Fed
eral legislature, which, as a matter Of
fact. should be handled by the States.
1t makes it easier for States to shift
or avoid responsibilities, thrusting
them upon the shoulders of Uncle
Sam. It would be far better from
many angles if the Congress would
complete it's work each year as expe-
ditiously as possible and 60 back
home. The belief seems to exist
in the minds of some members of
the Congress that the country cannot
take a breath successfully without
their assistance.

tnals. q premium Is put upon unim-
peded flight through the streets and
the capture Of fugitives is rendered
virtually impossible.
To remit pursuit OF criminals,
whether bootleggers or burglars or
highwaymen. because they may in
their flight cause tho injury or death
OF others, would be to lead to the vir-
tual repeal Of the criminal laws by
motive power.
1t has been said that the police need
not press the pursuit Of fleeing law
breakers II they can but obtain de-
scriptions Of them or Of their motor
cars. This Is not the case, as a prac-
teal matter. The description of
motor car Is very fallacious guide to
identification. Its number is not a de.
pendable index. Recognition of occu-
pants OF car in flight is difficult, al.
most impossible. especially in the
darker hours.
AS long as the law prohibit, the
sale and transportation Of liquor it
should be enforced. and not by feeble
methods but by the most direct and
thorough means. That Innocent lives
should be sacrificed in the enforcement
is most deplorable, but 1t Is more de-
plorable that an element Of public
opinion should be so swift to urge re-
mission of law enforcement because of
this incidental sacrifice of valuable
life.

From Washington to Swampscott

President Coolidge's departure from
Washington for the Summer leaves
the Capital a bit fiat" in respect to
House is turned over to the refurbish-
ers and repairers and caretakers. The
executive offices are all but closed.
One of the most interesting centers of
information and interest in the coun-
try is shifted to Swampscott. and the
"Washington date line" will for a time
cease to figure in the public prints as
conspicuously as usual. But the Gov
ernment continues to be centered here,
and the happenings Of the great ad-
ministrative organization will still
make news Of Importance.
The Presidents vacation, however,
is Of much more consequence than
the slackening Of news interest in
Washington. He has been very busy
man for long time. 1t is urgent that
he rest as far as the Chief Executive
ever can rest from the strain Of his
routine of duty. His health is an asset
of national importance. His strength
is one of the resources of the country
President Coolidge has chosen
place for his Summer sojourn that is
convenient of access and affords ample
comforts, and also permits that degree
of seclusion which is essential to
restful relaxation from the cares Of
office. Mr.. Coolidge is not man given
to sports or exercises, but he has his
own ways Of letting go of the reins Of
responsibility At Swampscott he will

A President Of the United States
can never take a vacation in the full
sense of the word. From the time he
takes the oath of office until he ceases
to be President he is on duty wherever
he may be. When, he travels he is IN
communication. When he rests he is
subject to call. He cannot transfer his
authority to any one. He has no un-
derstudy for temporary relief from
routine.
Washington hopes that Mr.. Coolidge
will return from Swampscott much
benefited by his change Of scene and
partial relaxation from duty. He will
be facing a time of constant stress
and labor when he puts the "Wash-
ington date line" again on the front
page by re-establishing himself at the
White House. For his sake the Capital
is glad that he has gone to Swamp
scott for the Summer.

Dawes GRASS Tacks."

In a carefully prepared statement,
setting forth the inaccuracy of some
of the arguments of the opposition,
Vice President Dawes last night again
urged that the Senate rules be amend
ed SO as to prevent "flibusters" and
so as to permit real majority rule in
that body. The Vice President was
addressing the Chamber of Commerce
of Manchester, N. H, the home State
of Senator George Moses, President
pro tempore Of the Senate, who has
aligned himself against the proposed
reform of the Senate rules.
The Vice President presented an ar
ray Of facts which can scarcely be
pooh-poohed away. Furthermore, he
laid his finger on a principal source
of opposition to a change in the rule
permitting unlimited debate, the re.
luctance Of Senators to yield individ-
ual power. Gen. Dawes charged also
that the present system results in
secret legislative bartering in the Sen
ate; that individual Senators hold up
the country's business until they re.
ceive concessions in legislation in
which they have a personal interest.
This is a serious charge, but one
which Gen. Dawes insists can be sub.
stantiated by many illustrations.
Opponents of majority cloture in
the Senate have urged the country to
beware of the plethora of legislation
which would follow a change in the
Senate rules, limiting debate. Vice
President Dawes has had compiled
statistics showing the number of bills
and resolutions put through the Sen.

A New Anti-Liquor Plan.

A new plan of Federal prohibition
enforcement has been devised and
VIII go into effect on the 1st Of August
which It Is believed will be more eff
hcient than that now in operation.
The country is divided into series
of 22 districts co-extensive with the
areas of the judicial districts and dis
regarding State boundaries. 1t is
based upon the hypothesis that the
Federal function in prohibition en-
forcement is to stop the sources of
supply Of liquor, its importation, the
diversion Of legitimately manufac-
tured alcohol and the illegitimate
manufacture and transportation of al
cohol and alcoholic beverages. 1t will
leave to local enforcement largely the
"moppinG up" of wet places in the
retail sense. Effort will be made to
develop local enforcement The Treas
ury Department., under which prohibi-
tion enforcement directly falls, will
work in close cooperation with the
Department of Justice.
There is evidence of constant prog
ress in the enforcement of the Vol
stead act, despite the sneers and jibes
and boasts of those who violate it and
who hope for its collapse. If not it's re-
peal or amendment. Recently a con-
centrated campaign off the coasts re
suited in breaking up rum row."
the fleet Of smugglers awaiting oppor-
tunity to land their Illicit cargoes
This was a demonstration Of the pos
sibility of sweeping out to sea these
pletely stop the supply. Liquor has
continued to enter the country from
abroad by sea and over land, but not
in the same quantities as before the
sea raid.
Enforcement is possible. It is upon
that principle that the Treasury De-
partment's new organization has been
planned. Integrity on the part of
enforcement officers Of all degrees is
an essential. 1t has never been be-
lieved to be impossible to organize an
honest, loyal force. Hypocrisy and in
fidelity are not dominant characteris-
tics of the American people.
The chief trouble about enforcement
lies in the slowness and the leniency
of the courts in the prosecution and
punishment of liquor cases. Enormous
profits are made by violators who are
financially competent to fight legal
proceedings, securing bonds with
out the least difficulty, protract-
ing cases unduly and meanwhile con-
tinuing their practices. Bonds should
increase in cost, trials should be
more speedy, punishment should be
more severe. The measure of enforce
ment is the efficiency Of the courts
and the cooperation of the Depart
ment of Justice in this new plan is
calculated to increase the effectiveness
of the judicial process.

The Democrats are intent upon

Waged between the victorious corned

ner-up. Supporters of the latter dis
pute the validity of the New York
verdict
THE result conclusively shows how

opinion of the San Antonio News,
for apparently it hasn't discovered
the universal American dish - ham

singularly unpatriotic." However. the
Buffalo News ventures the sugges-
ton that New York, at most, is
only a small part of the United
States; some go so far as to deny
that it is any part whatever" Con-
tinuing, the News says: In any
event, corned beef and cabbage is
not the most popular dish in the
country. 1t is ridiculous to suggest
such a thing. AS well accept the
vote of Boston for beans or Phila-
delphia for tripe. One must go to
the open spaces-to the plain peo-
ple-for a fair decision. No one hav-
ing a broad outlook on the question
can doubt for a moment that ham
and eggs is the national dish"
