Mysterious Bullet
rs Laid to Celebrant

AS result OF their investigation
today police believe that the bullet
which yesterday was fired into the
nome of Lewis S. OwsIey, in the
23OO block of s st. N. W., was the
product OF the enthusiasm of a mis-
guided Fourth of July celebrant.
The OwsIey home is in the same
block in which Secretary of Com
.nerce Hoover, the Republican pres
;deHtial nominee. lives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Owsley, with Mrs.
Owsley's S2-year-old mother, Mrs.
W. A.. Rodgers, were sitting in a
room on the fourth floor of their
home yesterday afternoon when the
ouIiet pierced an awning and shat.
tered the window. 1t passed two
feet over Owsley's head.

612 Deputies in Paris
Have Only 400 Seats

PARIS, July 5.-The zeal of the
newly elected deputies is the chief
problem in the French Chamber OF
Deputies just now. Since the as
sembly opened, every one Of the
si2 deputies has insisted on being
present at the sessions. And the
chamber, designed more than zoo
years ago, holds only 400.
Mr.. Barthe, the head questor, -

son, the speaker. To bring order

uCutua ltChoiS'
Belief was expressed here today
that the new Socialist cabinet OF
chancellor Herman Mueller will
make an issue of the death PEN
atty. using all its influence to have
it abrogated.
Jakubowski's image has become
the focusing point in the war which
these same Liberal forces have been
leading for years for drastic re-
form of the whole German judicial
system, which, they claim, has be-
come the last refuge of the German
reactionaries and therefore men
ace to the young republic.
One result of this controversy
has been that more and more voices
are being raised for an adaptation
of the German judicial system to
that of the United States, where
every defendant. has the right to
be tried by jury of his peers with
the Judge merely acting as ref
eree.'' Under the German system
the Judge conducts the whole trial
and asks all of the questions. with
the result that the Judge automatic
ally puts himself in opposition to
the accused; especially if the judge
is fun of caste feeling or political
bias. and the accused either OF
lowly position or of an opposite
political faith.
This movement toward Amer
icanization'' of the German judicial
system received an impetus through
the performance of the American
play. 1.-THE Trial of Mary Dugan,
on the German stage, because It
brought American criminal court
methods home to the German public.

Ridiculous and Absurd.

Figures do not lie, but II will be
difflcult matter TO convince Washing
tonians that Weather Bureau statistics
for this month Of June, 1928. do not fib
q bit. For the last nifty years, accord
ing to the prognosticators at the bu-
reau, normal rainfall for June has been
four and thirteen -one -hundredth inches.
For this month, despite the fact that
it has rsined part Of twelve days, the
bureau blithely informs residents of
this city that there has only been one
and eighty-one- hundredth inches OF
precipitation.
Be that as IL may, Mr. and Mrs
Washingtonian, who have been gasp
ing yainly for sunlight these twenty
five days Of June and received nanght
but ominous clouds. heavy rains. good
all-day rains and misty rains, and all
other varieties, are not going 10 be con-
WINGED that the statistical machines Of
the bureau do not need general over
hauling. One and eighty -hnndredth
inches Of rainfall. indeed In any one
of these many cloudbursts, which have
ruined dispQs!!l2ns. clothss and sports.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-06-30

it has seemed as II no less than ten
inches of rain beat down from the
heavens.
Not only does the Weather Bureau
refuse to admit that this has been the
most terrible month Of June in cen
turtles, but It even rubs 1t in on the
disgruntled and still-soaking Washing
tonian by pointing out that according
to statistics-which word. IL used again
in connection with the weather, is
liable to become anathema--four and
one-one -hundredths of rain fell last
June. Ridiculous and absurd, that is
all that Isl In comparison with this
June not single Washingtonian re-
members last June as anything but a
month OF the finest weather. with cool
breezes and bright sunshine making life
happy and sweet.
OF course, human memories may be
short and last June may not have been
as good as it seems when remembered
a year later. 1t may have even rained
the eleven days that the Weather Blu
reau says 1t did. That is what sta
figures are for. The Washingtonian will
even go so far as to admit that pos
sibly he may be mistaken in this, and
will be glad to give in on last June If
the Weather Bureau will make a re-
check on this June. One and eighty
one hundredths inches of rain this
month. BAIL

District people in their own behalf.
They are assured OF large body Of
public opinion. Notwithstanding these
two refuSals or neglects Of the major
political parties to approve nom
partisan principle of Americanism.
The District people viii persist in
presenting their case to Congress. They
look forward hopefully to the next SEES
sion. when they have some reason to
believe favorable report will be made
to the House of Representatives from
the committee which has already heard
their plea, and possibly to the Senate
from the committee which will hear
that plea shortly after the session be-
gins. II such favorable reports are
made they will hope for the necessary
two-thirds votes from the two houses
upon the joint resolution which pro-
poses an amendment to the Federal
Constitution empowering Congress in
its discretion to admit the District to
the status OF State in terms of rep
resentation in Congress and In the
electoral college and with the right to
sue and be sued in the Federal courts.

From Poverty to Riches.

A Spanish lottery has increased the
population Of New York by ten per-
sons. A few weeks ago Zoila M. Vale
and his family lived in obscurity and
poverty in a tiny Central American
village. Against the advice of his rela-
tives, Vale scraped together ninety
dollars to buy ticket in huge lottery.
Yesterday the family of ten arrived In
New York on the one hundred -and-thir-
n-thousand-d dollar prize. They in
tend to spend a short time seeing the
sights" then go to Europe for a couple
OF years and back to New York to buy
a home and settle down. The money
is safely deposited in bank and the
future metropolitan residents insist that
all Of 1t will stay there, except a
small amount for travel and education.
There is something romantic in a
person being transferred overnight from
poverty to affiuence. Every one wants
something, and when the means are
suddenly provided 1t is an interesting
study to observe reactions. The Vale
family is evidently sensible about the
matter and does not intend to squander
or invest foolishly its pot Of gold. The
desire to travel and broaden itself is
q laudable one for these people. 1t is
to be hoped that they will invest their
money wisely and not deviate from the
path Of intelligent living.
