An extraordinary trial, probably
without parallel in the history Of juris-
prudence, began yesterday in a Federal
court in New York City. Eighty-six
men. were brought before a jury on
charges Of conspiracy in the manipulA-
ton of prices In the poultry market.
This case has been long pending. Orig
inally ninety men were indicted. Before
trial could be arranged three Of the
indicted men pleaded guilty and took
their punishments. while fourth,
known as Phillip Doe" has escaped
and Is a fugitive. It was necessary to
bring all eighty-six defendants before
the court in body, owing to the nature
Of the charge How to seat them was
a problem. Eventually 1t was decided
and arranged to place them on bleach

room. This structure rises in six tiers

| Philippians, fU.22.
| What a striking contrast, sr !nts in
Caesars household! The hou ,hold Of
Nero: the most profligate, licentious,
grossly indulgent, in a period charac-
| teriZed by all that was vicious, one OF
the most degenerate recorded in human
history. A golden palace" housed one
Of the foulest conspiracies against all
/ that was pure and virtuous and of coed
, report. In such an atmosphere, that
anything approximating Christian char
acter should disclose itself seems in
credible. The last place surely to look
: for saints would be the household of
this human monster, Nero; and yet the
great apostle, st. Paul. a prisoner,
awaiting final sentence that meant in
evitable execution, concludes his letter
to his young converts by saying: THE
saints that are Of Caesars household
salute YOU" Whence came they? What
miracle produced them? How had they
survived in an atmosphere that was poll
luted and foul? Let the apostle answer:
Il would We should understand" he
writes, that the things which happened
unto me" (meaning his imprisonment
have fallen out rather unto the further
ance OF the Gospel; so that my bonds
in Christ are manifest in all the places,
and many waxing confident by my
bonds are much more bold to speak the
word without fear" The prisoner in
irons, restricted and limited in his
apostleship. had SO magnifled the Gospel
of which he was an ambassador that
the servants and attendants Of the royal
palace were emboldened to declare
openly their allegiance to Christ. This
whole letter. addressed to the Philip
plans is one Of the most helpful, opti-
mistic epiStles of which have knowl-
edge.
The very confinement of the prisoner
who writes 1t seems to make 1t glow
with the spirit of confidence and as
surance; he sees already the triumph
of the mighty cause to which he has
given his life. The ultimate establish
ment In human hearts of the sover-
eighty Of Christ was already evident to
his vision. No wonder such prisoner
could say: Il press toward the mark
for the prize Of the high calling Of
God, in Christ Jesus; can do all things
through Christ which strengtheneth
me-" The supreme note of this letter IL
one that our age needs. A signal char
Acteristic of our time is pessimism, and
this Is markedly true among those who
are seeking to appraise the worth and
usefulness Of the Christian Church.
The disposition to regard its message
as one of consonance with modern
thought and modern scientific dis
closures, to seek for substitutes for its
time-honored customs. to exalt educa-
ton and culture and material develop
ment to the place of supreme import
ance. all these find abundant expression
and advocacy in much Of our modern
literature. In the face of this, even

A Game That Makes History.

Many years from now aged Philadel-
phians will be telling their grandchil-
dren Of the wonderful game OF base
ball they witnessed on the twelfth of
october, 1929, the fourth game of the
world series of that season. They will
narrate, with unctuous glee and many
chuckles, how when the Athletics went
TO bat in the seventh inning Of that
classic engagement the score was eight
to nothing against them, how the Chi
cago Cubs had mauled and maltreated
the veteran Quinn and driven him from
the box with barrage of hard hits in
the sixth to make five runs on the top
of two previously made, and had scored
the eighth In the next session. They
VIM cnortle as they describe the on
slaught against the hitherto impregna-
BILE Root, Chicago's greatest twirler,
how the first man to face him smashed
a home run, how man after man fol-
lowing singled or doubled, how fifteen
men batted before the inning was ended
how ten runs In all were scored, against
q rapid succession, veritably a moving
picture, of Chicago pitchers. And SC
the game was won, for no further scor-
ing ensued. The impossible had beer
accomplished.
Wen, that is just another case Of bas'
balls uncertainties. II there was any
thing reasonably assured at the openinl
of that second half of the seventh in
ming it was that Chicago was about y
capture the fourth game, tying the scor

| to a proper place in court. 1t was also
argued by counsel for them that by be-
ing piled up in tiers these men were
not accorded the customary privilege OF
sitting alongside of their lawyers, for
convenience of consultation. The pre-
siding justice, however, pointed out that
there was no guaranteed right of close
conjunction between defendant and
counsel during trial, reminding counsel
that in earlier times prisoners on trial
were held In dock"
Multiple trials have taken place In
| this country in many instances, but
never before have so many as eighty six
been arraigned in body. Indeed. there
are few. If any. parallels anywhere for
so large a trial. The only recent case
of a considerable group of defendants is
that Of the Camorra trial at Viterbo,
| Italy. when. some twenty persons were
arraigned and during the trial, which
lasted one year. we're penned in an iron
cage in the courtroom.
In an effort to persuade the court
that the grouping of the chicken-case
defendants on these "bleacher seats"
deprived them OF their rights, one of
their counsel asked that two photo
graphs be taken, one of the empty tiers
with the sixteen-inch seats partitioned
off by vertical risers and the other with
the stand filled with the accused. No
ruling was made upon this request and
the court decided to proceed with the
trial through the process Of securing o
jury before deciding whether or not the
bleachers are to remain as built or en-
larged, or altogether replaced by chairs
on the level of the floor.
1t is hard to see how eighty-six de-
PENDANTS can be tried in body without
some unusual method of assembling
them In case of conspiracy they
must be tried in a body, for the alleged
offense is a collective one. There could
not possibly be eighty-six separate
trials. The average courtroom does
not afford room for eighty-six 6e-
PENDANTS at the bar" Perhaps the
court carpenters might have been
a little more generous with their lumber
in this case vet again it may be that
the space granted to each individual
defendant was all that the courtroom
permitted without adding another tier
to the bleachcrs. 1t is indicated as
certain that If the trial should result in
the conviction OF any of these de-
PENDANTS an appeal will be taken on
the ground that they were denied their
physical If not constitutional rights of
proper seats during the trial-which it
is expected will last several weeks-and
in that case the higher courts, includ-
ing the Supreme Court Of the United
States, will have to consider a point
unique in American Jurisprudence.

Bishop Of Washington

wildered. What Is to survivor" they
ask. May we yet look for saints in
our modern Caesars household?" The
page of history is rcplete with records
that disclose situations far more critical
than the present. The Christian faith
began with the crucifiXion of its Divine
Master. 1t got Its first mighty impulse
at His open tomb. The first three cen
turtles of its history was distinguished
by an opposition that is traced by the
blood of its undaunted heralds, so that
it is literally true: THE blood of the
martyrs is the seed Of the church." Its
greatest advance has been made where
the heroic sacrifice of its devotees was
most conspicuous. It has languished in
periods where ease and apathy marked
its course. Our age differs little from
those that have gone before. Human
nature remains essentially the same,
even where habits and customs find
new modes of expression.
There Is that in the message and
ministry of Christ that survives the
shocks of time. The survival of the
saints Is the survival of the fittest, and
the persistence of those high-souled,
consecrated men and women is one of
the miracles of history through twenty
centuries Of time. The great cynic Of
France declared that Christianity would
not survive another half century of
time. He was poor prophet, for the
half century that followed his word saw
the Christian Church making fresh
advances and occupying positions it had
never occupied before. A new splen-
dor OF God" must, to Carlyles vision,
disclose itself and it did.
We have by no means reached such q
level Of excellence; the Church Is GER
tainly not so uniformly efficient that we
can with assurance look for the mill
lennium. On the other hand, our post
war age has disclosed such a marked
dissatisfaction, has been so disillusioned
and dissatisfied by the failure of many
of our war ideals, Is so restless even in
the face OF increasing luxuries, that 1t is
beginning to cry out for what Prof.
Henry Fairfield Osborn calls, "a reaf-
firnation Of the elemental truths of re-
ligion." There are saints in our Gaze
sar's household and they still constitute
the saving elements in our social, eco
nomic and political life. 1t is their
wholesome ways, their lofty ideals, their
unchallenged virtues, their consistency
OF living, that save us from dry rot and
moral atrophy and decay. They are not
noisy. along the cool, sequestered wales
they lead the noiseless tenor Of their
way" and yet age after age, generation
after generation, these saints of Cae-
sar's household preserve to us the things
that are true and pure and OF good re-
port. The perseverance Of the saints is
a fact writ large in the story of the
worlds progress. We may be able to
get along without many things, but we
cannot get on without these men and
women, who in our homes and social
and industrial life, still bear witness to
that regenerative power that proceeds
from the Man on the Cross.

Four Theories of Anglo-American
Understanding That Facts Belle

peace pact a. it stood the moment
when Mr.. Macdonald landed on these
shores.
Finally, as for the theory that the
United States has handed the disarma-
ment problem up to the Council and
Assembly and multitudinous committees
Of the League of Nations, with the i'm
plication that we undertake beforehand
to accept their decision upon it, there
is no slightest warrant for giving any
moments consideration. The President,
though believer in the World Court
at The Hague, has pledged himself over
and over again to keeping this country
outside the jurisdiction of the League
Of Nations at Geneva and, to put the
matter at its lowest level, the Presi-
dents intimates in public office in
Washington are all of them fully aware
that the President has no intention of
committing political suicide by disre-
garding that pledge.
What then can be said to be the &C.
tual results of Mr.. Macdonald's visit?
This writer, having done nothing else
for some time but try to find and grasp
them, ventures to state them, as fol-
lows:

Ruler of the American people and the
chief ruler of the British people are
