CHAP[A|NS URGE
/ PASSAGE OF BILL
Seek "Tardy Justice" for
Clergy Who Minister to
Spiritual Needs of Troops.

Pleading for tardy Justice for Army
Chaplains, the general committee on
Army and Navy chapiains today Is
sued an appeal to the House OF
Representatives to pass the Waos'
worth-Morin bill. The Senate has
passed the bill with only one dissent
ing vote. The plea Is made through
DIR. w. S. Abernethy, chairman OF tne
general committee on Army and Navy
chaplains, who was President Hard
tng's pastor at Calvary Baptlst
Church. 49,,
"The general committee, which
represents 81 denominations, Is CO.
operating with a special committee ap.
pointed by the Pan-denomlnatloIlai
Conference on Moral and Renglous
Training, which assembled upon an
vftation of the Secretary OF war. IN
bringing to the attention OF the CON
Eress the Wadsworth NORM bill. which
Is designed to put chaplains on a
parity with all other professional men
in the military service. said Dr.
Abernethy in explaining the bill.
The special committee is headed by
Right Rev. James f. Freeman, Bishop
of Washington, and has in its mem
hership Father Francis =. Duffy OF
New York. Rabbi Abram Simon, DR..
John Paul Tyler. who was senior
chaplain of the SGD Division. A. Il. f.;
DIR. Jason Noble Pierce, senior chap
latin of the I'd Division. a. +. f.; DR..
W. s. Ahernethy and DIR. ". L. OAR
by and DR.. Charles S. Macfarland.
Those who are ardently advocat-
ing this bill believe that an unWar-
ranted discrimination against those
clergymen who have devoted their
lives to work among soldiers will be
corrected If the Wadsworth NORM bill,
which has already passed the Senate,
is acted upon favorably by the House
of Representatives. 1t is now before
the House committee on military az
fairs on q favorable report from one
Of its subcommittees.
The measure is substantially the
same as was before the last Congress
and concerning which so many dis.
tinguished churchmen appeared at a
hearing. It's effect is to place chap
lains on a parity with all other pro-
fessional men in the Army in the mat
ter of pay, allowances and grade. A
chaplain at present has status be-
low that of Army veterinarians,
dentists and doctors, and under exist
ing law can never attain to the same
high grade or advanced pay as these.

principle in connection with the facts
presented in a particular case.
THE principle itself Is not written,
the court, in its opinion, is merely dis
cussing and applying the principle as
applicable to the case before 1t. and,
unless we bear this fact in mind, we
are liable to deceive ourselves as to
what the true principle Of the law is,
which the court has applied-to think
that the principle is limited or con-
fined to an express state of fact such
as was before the court in the par
ticular case. BY the careful study Of
adtudged cases, the lawyer comes to
know the law, its spirit and essence.
There are two decisions of the SUI
preme Court Of the United States in
cases which went up from the District
OF Columbia, applying the principle
referred to above as affecting q per-
son of f1duciary relationship: and in
the light of those decisions. there
would seem to be nothing dark or
obscure about the question involved
in this case touching the cost, to the
estate of the lunatic, of the bond fur
nished by the committee" MAJ. Ar.
mold then gave a lengthy discussion
OF the two cases and cited legal de-
clSlonS affecting them.
Premiums Amount to SI72.O7.
The bond premiums allowed to Mr..
Fenning against the estate Of Adler
In the six accounts previously re.
ported by the auditor and approved
by the court amount to S172.07, Mai.
Arnold said. The seventh account,
now pending" he said, being the
first in which it has come to the
knowledge OF the auditor. or, so far as
disclosed by anything in the record
of this case, 70 the knowledge OF the
court, that Mr.. Fenning, the commit
tee, IN all bonds or undertakings
entered into by him with the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Co. as
surety, has received g rebate or refund
of 25 per cent Of the premiums
charged by the company; and Mr..
Fenning having assumed to contend
that the rebate or refund thus made
by the company is his own individual
property with reference to which the
estate Of his ward. the lunatic. has no
concern or interest whatever, and hay-
ing, through his attorney, filed with
the auditor n brief in behalf Of his
contention, the auditor suggested to
the national guardianship officer in
charge of guardianship matters in the
United States Veterans Bureau. who
was in attendance upon the hearing,
the propriety OF submitting a brief
in behalf of the Veterans Bureau on
the point thus involved. This memo
randum is accordingly submitted on
the question which has thus arisen In
connection with the aforementioned
account-the same question, it has de-
reloped. being also involved in many
other accounts of Mr.. Fenning as COM
mittee Of the estates of disabled vet.

Of the bond premium for which the

BUTTER AND EGGS

1t natural, that the butter and egg men should
rise in revolt later. Herman klingehutz
must have voiced the sentiment OF hundreds Of fellow
sufferers in his complaint made in filing suit against
certain actress for singing unconlplimentary song
of such nature that his morals, integrity, character
and intelligence have been aSSailed and ridiculed
Mr. kllngehutz, il should be understood, acts
agent for Is butter ana egg dealers in Minneapolis and
obviously deserves the appelat}on. big butter and
egg man
In the aforesaid song, he declares the singer has
USED certain tones and gestures to convey that all
dealers in butter and eggs were Of immoral and
centiou character, and thereby hold up plaintiff and
others similarly situated hatred, empt and rd
cule."
= 1t can hardly have been quite SO bad that, but
the tendency very likely somewhat along that line.
Frequenters of theaters and banquets will readily
recognize the line.
Why put all the blame, though, misguided
actress. when writers and actors and after-dinner
speaker all the country have made jest of
butter and egg folk for many years. Unless for pub
icty purposes Of course. The widespread publication
of this protest backed by the threat Of damages, may

JUDGE MARSH IN
IMPOSING FINE
TELLS REASON
Says That Lawyer Is
Mulcted to Impress
Younger Attorneys.

Attorney Charles c. Crouch of
San Diego, was fined 500 Tues
day for contempt of court by Judge
Spencer NJ. Marsh, the contempt
having been committed against
Judge NJ. w. Conkling of this city
several weeks ago.
Judge Conkling had been appoint
Ell by Governor Richardson to try
the suit of the city of San Diego
against the Cuyamaca Water com
pauy Crouch is attorney for the
water company.
The offense with which the at
torney was charged was based on
statements he made i'll affidavits
filed before Judge Conkling assert
ing that the latter should be dis
qualified from presiding over the
case in question.
In the affidaVits the attorney ae-
eused the Imperial county judge of
violating the law by disregarding
the decisions of the state supreme
court and rendering decisions in ac-
cordance with his own ideas and
asserted that the court was prcju
diced against him and could not
hear the trial in questlo fairly and
impartially.
Judge Marsh, in finding Crouch
guilty, asserted the attorney had
shown Younger and less experienced
members of the San Diego bar =
bad example by his contempt ot
court, also that the contempt had
not been committed in the heat of
a courtroom battle. in which event
It might have been overlooked, but
t was committed with consider
able Geliberation.
The offensc was such, Judge
Marsh Said, that Judge Conklin.
could have dealt with it Immediate

filed. Instead the imperial county
Judge preferred to have another

Marsh said hc took such action
primarily for the purpose of show

courts that the dignity of the law

THE DIETING DANSEL

y Word comes from a certain city that its young
men taking its young to dinner and shows
Sr dances with more ease than for long time past
The reason? The girls dieting to preserve their
Slim lines, and they eat with controlled moderation
Instead of the former hearty appetite of the gold digger
1t seems that many girls even carry charts about
in their hand bags telling them how many caores they
Gan safely consume per meal. Undoubtedly these
charts are equipped with logarthmic tables transat
ing calories into spinach.
It's happy day for the young when ne finds
he can step out with his girl for less than half his
weekly stipend 1t is happy day for the girl too
because when the young finds that the price of the
party leaves him with money enough and to spare, he
takes the girl out twice as often.
