SENATE VOTE CLOSES
IMPEACHMENT CASE
Some Members Regret Trial OF
Judge Did Not Go on as
Had Been Planned.

Acting at the request of the House.
the Senate yesterday afternoon aban-
doned impeachment proceedings
against former Federal Judge George
w. English Of Illinois, thus closing
the case. The House last week voted
not to go on with the trial in view of
the resignation of the Judge.
The vote in the Senate was 20 to 9
in favor OF dropping the case, but be-
fore the decision was reached half a
dozen Senators expressed regret that
the trial could not be continued to a
definite conclusion.
Senator Reed, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, said that while he would vote
for the recommendation of the House
to drop the case. he regretted that
such a course was necessary. He
suggested that the Senate devise some
means of ascertaining the facts in
future without having the Senate
listen to oral testimony, and surprised
his colleagues by adding that "if
have been correctly informed, other
Impeachment proceedings will be nee.
'essary in this country-a statement
that ! regret to make, but one that
] believe is justified" Senator Reed
did not amplify his statement.

PAINLEVE FEARS
FOR ARMY MORALE
French Soldiers Profoundly Un.
easy, War Minister Writes
Premier Poincare.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. lS2o
PARIS, December 14.-'The army
just now is suffering profound un-
easiness," wrote Paul Painleve, min.
lister Of war, to Premier Poincare IN
a recent letter. ''The officers are dis
couraged and looking for opportun-
tiles to leave the service. The best
young men no longer are attenaing
military schools, thus depriving the
army of elements which. both moral.
ly and technically, have made its
strength and grandeur in the last 90
years.
Zone of the principal reasons for
this is certainly the material diff.
culties affecting the officers and their
enfeebled economic situation, espe-
cially in the lower and the upper
grades. in which young men about to
choose a career no longer find either
the possibility of founding a family
or of ultimately reaching a sufficiently
remunerative position.
II know that a similar situation
affects all government employees, but
1t Is singularly aggravated in the case
Of soldiers, because of their special
expenses and the prohibition of their
earning money in other ways.
1T should. perhaps. be added that
other considerations have intervened,
which have led officers to think the
nation no longer is interested in them.

LIGHTING COMPANY |
W|NSD. c. TAXF|GHT|
Justice Stafford Rules Levies
on Poles, Wires and Lamps
Are Unlawful.

Justice Wendell Philips Stafford of
the District Supreme, Court today
rendered an opinion sustaining the
contention of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. that assessments and taxes
levied on it's poles, wires, conduits and
lamps by the District of Columbia are
unlawful and void The District
sought to assess the poles and equip
ment as real estate, and the COM
pany claimed that whatever tax
should be levied was covered by the
tax on its gross earnings.
The tax levied by the District, dat
ing back to 1917, totaled $190,614.
The decision of the court saves this
amount to the power company, which
may be shared with the consumers,
through additional reduction Of rates.
May Benefit Phone Co.
The decision is expected also to
inure to the benefit of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Co, which
paid under protest a similar tax, and
recently brought suit to recover it
from the District of Columbia.
Justice Stafford, after setting forth
the contentious of counsel for the
District and for the company, con
cluded his opinion with the view that
there has been no clear indication
of the Legislative will that the articles
in question should be taxed as real
estate at all, and certainly none that
they should be taxed at their cost
price merely because they have been
annexed to the soil of the highways in
the manner shown, under the provi-
sion granted and for the purpose
agreed"
Gives COmpany's Views.
Attorney S. r. Bowen for the com
pany contended that the poles. wires
and conduits. if assessed as real
estate, could only be assessed as inn
provement on the land, and pointed
out that the poles are in fact located
in the streets and public places, the
title to which is in the United States
and in which the power company has
no ownership. If Congress had in;
tended that the poles should be as:
sessed, 1t would have expressed it's in
tention in apt language, Bowen con-
tended.
The lawyer pointed out that, al
though the act relied on by the Dis
trict for the assessment. was passed
in 1894. it was not until 1917 that an
effort was made to tax the poles and
conduits as real estate, thus indicat-
ing the doubt entertained by the
of the intention of the act
relied on.

RUM CASE CONTINUED.
Jury Unable to Agree in Trial Of

A jury in Federal Court was unable to
agree in the case of Capt. Benjamin
Jarvis. master OF the steam yacht
Laurentian, charged with violating
the prohibition law after Coast Guard
officers had discovered 724 quarts of
whisky when they searched the yacht
in York River on June 15. The yacht
at the time was under charter Of c.
X. J. Billings, millionaire sportsman.
who was aboard with a party Of
friends.
Capt. Jarvis case was contipued
until May. and 1t is probable that
hearing on a petition filed by Russell
A. Alger of Detroit, owner Of the
Lauretian, seeking the release of the
yacht from a bond of $150.000. will be
deferred until after that time. Yester-
day attorneys for Capt. Jarvis, who
also represent the owner. attempted
to prove that the search of the vesse.
was unlawful and that therefore any
evidence put OF by the Government as
to the presence of the liquor was un.
lawful.

In the midst Of hundreds of Wilson

day after his speech in Town Hall ex-
planning his view of his former chiefs
personality.
Mr.. Creel said that Wilson's vision
forcSaw "a tragedy OF disappointment
coming" even before the peace con-
ference, due to the lapse in idealism
that followed the arnistice.
1T is well for great souls such as
these If, like Lincoln, they can die at

the world more savage. more cruel
and inhuman than a peoples reaction

asked:
IF Mr.. Wilson had so much vision
as you say he had, why did he not
enter the war sooner and save thou
sands Of lives?"
Some applause greeted the question,
but 1t was drowned out in the buzz Of
excitement. Mr.. Creel answered.:
He did not enter the war sooner
because, for one thing, New York and
