WARNS OF CRITICS
OF COURTS OF j. S.
Siddons Tells Barristers'
Club Judiciary Breakdown
Would Be Blow.

A warning of the spread through
out the country of a spirit of criti-
cism and an attitude of antagonism
against the courts, both State and Fed
eral. and even against the United
States Supreme Court. was sounded
by Justice Frederick l.. Siddons of the
District Supreme Court last evening
in an address to the Barristers' Club.
The club, composed of the younger
members of the District bar, held it's
third annual dinner at the Carlton
Hotel, and had as guests the justices
Of the District courts and number of
older lawyers.
Must Bear Criticism.
The judge must remain silent under
such criticism, declared Justice Sid
dons. and his defense, if any, must
come from the members of the bar.
The speaker urged cooperation of the
lawyers with the judiciary that APP
proXimate justice be done because
theoretical Justice is not always OBJ
tainable, since the judges are but
men, and are subject to err. The law
yer should prepare his case well, and
while not unmindful of his duty to
his client. should have in mind the
higher duty as an officer of the court
that the administration of Justice be
advanced.
The breaking down of the judiciary,
said Justice Siddons. would be
greater blow to our institutions than
bolshevism or communism as general
ly understood. He praised the mem
bers of the club. and told them of the
favorable impression being made by
number of them on the judges, which
was a good omen for their success
He advised them to be noble in de-
feat which was greater than being
the victor.
StOhlman TOastmaster.
Frederick Stohlman, president of
the club, acted as POSTMASTER, while
the dinner committee was composed
of Bertrand Emerson, jr., chairman:
Harry A. Grant, Richard E. Wexford

NOW UNDER REVIEW
Tax Assessment Against
Former Ford Minority Stock
holders in Boards Hands.

By the Associated Press.
What promises to be one of the
most notable tax cases in American
legal history came to a temporary
conclusion yesterday when the Gov
eminent and counsel for former
minority stockholders in the Ford
Motor co. concluded testimony In the
of $50 900. 900 additional Federal taxes
on the sale of their stock to Henry
and Edsel Ford
The Board of Tax Appeals, hearing
the case, will now examine the mass
of testimony piled up in the hearings
conducted here ana in Detroit since
January II. Counsel for both sides
are allowed 60 days for preparation
of briefs and oral arguments, after
which the board will take the case
under final advisement.
RebuttaI Testimony Heard.
The final hearing was devoted to
the introduction of rebuttal testimony
by counsel for the stock holders. chief
of whom Is Senator Couzens of Michi-
gan, from whom the Government de
mands an additional tax of SO. 200. 900.
Eight other former stockholders are
associated with him in the case.
Walter Durham. vice president of
the First National Bank of Detroit,
a rebuttal witness for the appellants.
gave the principal testimony yester
day.
No Begging for Buyers.
Asked whether the transfer restric-
ton on stock imposed by the bylaws
of the Ford company affected its
negotiability, Durham said the pro-
vision was without effect on the value
of the stock as collateral and did not
act as ban on its sale. Ford stock
did not have to go begging for buyers
in 1913" he said
There were hundreds of business
men in Detroit who were keen to
acquire 1t and who were even willing
to get 1t on a temporarily low divi-
dend basis in return for future pros
pects.''

Anacostia flats, will be equipped to
proceed above the Benning Bridge in
May, when a new derrick boat will be

Charleston, S. c., and will be so con-
structed that the upper structure can
be dismantled and the low floating
part put under the Benning bridges.

KILLS
ALL SOUND

-
Those who have studied flle sub.
ject have come to the conclusion
that noise IL more wearing on the
nerves than the work the average
individual does. In the office the
noise Of typewriters. telephones.
people talking and moving about and
the noise which penetrates from the
street become almost unbearable at
times. In the church, tneater or
similar auditorium, the sound re-
verberating through the room causes
confusion Of sounds which make
hearing difficult. And even. in the
home, although rugs, drapes and like
materials absorb much Of the sound,
noise sometimes becomes most dis
agreeable.
Confronted with these facts, stu
dents OF the problem OF acoustics
have long been trying to overcome
the irritation caused by noise in a
room. Among these, one Of the most
prominent IL DIR. Paul p. Sabine, OF
the Riverbank Laboratories. ali Ges
neya, Ill.
DIR. Sabine. after many years Of
effort. now has developed d plaster
which, when applied to e wall, will
absorb sound rather than allow it
to bound back. After careful testing
TO prove its real efficiency, this &C.
coustical plaster Is now on the mar
ket. 1t has proved most effective iii
reducing the amount Of noise and in
sound reyerberation which
ma xes hearing difficult.

Admiral BreatheS Fire
AT Big Navy Banquet;
Laugh at Fleet, He Says

go down to the Hudson River
and laugh when the fleet comes
in"
This was the advice given by
Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett
at a banquet of big navy fans
which drew forth heated denials
yesterday from the braided
admiral himself.
Plunkett was talking in an in
innate way to members Of the New
York Society of Military and Naval
Officers, but his ridicule of the al
legged faults Of the American navy
leaked out.
Quick reprisal against the adj
miral's rash statement was forth
coming yesterday when he received
orders to take a three months
leave Of absence. He will cool off
in Europe,
Plunkett told the big navy
people to get behind Coolidge and
"worl for the biggest navy in the
world" "The Atlantic Fleet" he
said, was "hopelessly inadequate"
