May 16, 1865.-The members Of the
military court that is trying the men
and women accused of having conspired
to assassinate President Lincoln and at
tempting the murder Of other Govern
ment officials today visited Fords
Theater, on Tenth street northwest, and
examined the scene of the crime, in
Guiding the adjoining localities that fig
ure in the evidence.
Company G, oath Reserve Corps, COM
manded by Maj. Steckner. which has
been on guard duty at the theater since
the night of the Presidents assassina-
ton, was found vigilantly at its post.
At the suggestion of Assistant Judge
Advocate Bingham, the doors leading to
the passage in the building adjoining
the theater on the south were opened.
It was found that this passage COM
municated with the stage and also with
the third story of this adjoining build
ing, occupied by the brothers Ford as a
sleeping compartment.
The second floor of this building is an
adjunct to the theater, being known
as the promenade saloon" and Is ele-
gantly furnished. The lower story Is
rented out as restaurant. Between
the restaurant and the theater Is the
above mentioned passage that leads
directly back to the stage.
The members of the court returned
and entered the theater by the usual
entrance, proceeding to the stage, which
is almost exactly in the condition 1t
was at the moment Of President Lin
coins assassination. The scenery Of
the third act Of "Our American
Cousin Is set as it was at that moment,
with the red-curtained recess In the
center used by Asa Trenchard.
The box used by President Lincoln
bears the same picture of Washington
at its front and two American flags
as draped over the box on that night,
but not the Treasury guards nag
which caught Booths spur on that &C.
casion, which has been removed by the
authorities.
The green baize stage-cloth has q
foot-long rent at the point where Booth
struck the stage when he leaped from
the box, but whether 1t was made by
him In falling Is not known.
A close inspection was made OF the
Presidents box and surroundings, espe-
cially at the point where the bar was
inserted between the wall and the door
to prevent access while Booth was per-
forming his bloody work.

III the bed of Nanny Meadow Mouse,
for of course you know 1t was Nanny's
bed. Then he set himself to wait for
Nanny to come back. But there is one
thing that Blarina does not have and
that is patience. He has no patience at
all. He had been in that bed Of
Nanny's for only a few minutes, but 1t
seemed TO MIN that he had been there
ever so long. He couldn't keep still
any longer. He got out of that bed
and went all around the inside of that
can, examining 1t carefully.
This is queer log" said Blarina to
himself. at doesn't feel like wood; it
doesn't smell like wood. I believe I'll
go out and hunt outside while and
then come back. There is no knowing
when that Meadow Mouse will return
and I simply must eat. Yes, sir, I
simply must eat!"
SO Blarina The Shrew popped out Of
that can just the way he had popped
into It and minute later he was rae
ing along one of the little paths that
Nanny Meadow Mouse had cut through
the grass. Nanny was lucky Meadow
Mouse, although she didn't know 1t.
She was lucky in that she was not at
home when Blarina called. She was
lucky again in that she was not using
the particular little path that Blarina
happened to choose Had she come
home while Blarina was there, she
would have had fight Had Blarina
found her on that little path, she
would have had a fight. Nanny Is a
good fighter, but, like Danny Meadow
Mouse, she would have been no match
for B1arina the Shrew, even though he
was quite a bit smaller.
Blarina found something else to at
tract his attention and presently he
was so far away from that old can that
he didn't give 1t another thought.
Meanwhile Nanny had returned and

equal Importance? And il so. is 1t
humanity possible to save In all the
ways at once?
Upon analysis 1t will be found that
economy Is flexible matter depending
upon the era, the conditions and the
occasions. 1t is practically impossible
to save in every way named at one and
the same time. One of the home
makers tasks is to discover what and
when to save. Two things that cannot
be wasted are health and strength.
without these 1t Is difiicult to save the
others.
Saving things may be virtue or q
mistake. In olden times, when 1t was
hard to get materials, utensils and all
articles that required journeying to OBJ
tain, the homemaker either had to save
or go without at the most inconvenient
times. Saving, then, was as much a
matter of conditions as of necessity.
Paper and string were taken from
parcels deity so that the first could
be folded neatly and the latter be
wound into balls or tiny hanks, and
each be ready for use again. Today
conditions are entirely different except
in isolated country places, and the time
1t takes to practice such economies
makes them tend toward extravaganza.

SCHOOL ESTIMATES
TO Be SUBMITTED
Tentative Budget Will Prob
ably Be Adopted by Board
of Education.

The estimated cost of the operation
Of District Of Columbia public schools
for 1882 will be presented to the Board
of Education at its meeting this after
noon by the boards committee on
finance, under the Craftsmanship of DR..
Abram Simons.
The finance committee held its final
meeting on the 1892 estimates yester-
day, and since the full membership Of
the board sat with the subgroup, the
mittee probably will be adopted.
AS the budget is prepared by the
school authorities 1t Is subject to modi-
fications, depending wholly upon the
appropriation bill for 1881, as 1t finally
passes Congress. At present the 1881
bill, having passed the House, has been
reported out by the Senate committee,
which, however, modified 1t to q con-
siderable degree. The bill now must
pass the Senate and then 60 into con-
ference between the House and the
Senate before 1t is possible to adopt 1t.
Meanwhile the District Commissioners
had called for the 1882 estimates from
the various municipal departments by
May 5. The Board of Education, to-
gether with the school officials, made
every effort to prepare the school esti-
mate by that date, but were necessarily
delayed pending the report on the ap-
preparations bill by the Senate COM
mittee which would indicate the trend
in the upper branch Of Congress on
school needs.
Besides DR.. Simons, the members of
the school board finance committee who
framed the estimate were: DR.. H. Bar
rett Learned and DR.. j. Hayden john
son.
In this afternoons meeting DR..
George +. Bowerman, librarian Of the
Public Library, will ask the Board of
Education to allocate the triangular
corner Of the Mcfarland Junior High
School for q branch library. DR.. Bower
man Is requesting this land parcel at
this time that he may complete his
estimates for 1892. The land sought
by DR.. Bowerman is a small triangular
corner at Iowa avenue and Webster
street and Is unsuited for playground
purposes.

BARLEY TO TALK
ON SUPREME COURT
Radio Forum Address of Ken
lucky Senator Arranged for
Thursday Evening.

The Supreme Court of the United
States and its relation to the everyday
life of the American people will be the
subject of an address In the National
Radio Forum delivered by Senator A.
w. Barley Of Kentucky Thursday, May
8, at $50 PM. The forum is arranged
by The Star and sponsored by the Co
lumbia Broadcasting System. 1t will be
heard locally through WMAL.
The Supreme Court has been in the
public eye in recent days more promi-
nently than for long time because Of
the Senate debates over the nomination
of Chief Justice Hughes and the nomi-
nation of Judge John j. Parker of North
Carolina to be an associate justice. One
school of thought in the Senate holds
that the membership of the Supreme
Court must be liberalized, particularly
by the appointment Of men who take
liberal views on public utility and other
school of thought, represented by Sena-
tors Norris of Nebraska, Borah of Idaho
and others, which has been ranged in
opposition to the confirmation of the
appointments of Chief Justice Hughes
and Judge Parker.
The other school of thought Is more
conservative. 1t would leave the inter-
probation of the laws to the Supreme
Court. It. does not see danger to the
American people from recent decisions
of the Supreme Court in cases involving
economic questions. .
Senator Barley, who Is TO discuss the
relation of the Supreme Court to the
American people, Is lawyer, former
judge and until he was elected to the
Senate, served as member of the
House. He Is Democrat and is a grad
uate Of the Law School Of the Univer-
sity of Virginia.

WILL ATTACK
VALIDITY OF JURY
Alleged Rum Conviction to Be
Emhezzlement Case De-
Tense.

G. Bryan Pitts, former chairman Of
the board of the F. H. Smith Co.. is
expected to file an attack on the
validity of the present grand jury whose
first act was to return an indictment
containing 100 counts, charging him
with the embeZzlement Of $1,l56,0o0 OF
the funds of the company. Attorney
Wilton j. Lambert stated today that he
is preparing plea In abatement 70 tne
indictment in which he will charge that
a member of the grand jury had been
convicted in Police Court April 2. 1927.
of a violation Of the national prohi-
bition act.
Lambert said he would rely on the
decision of the District Court Of Appeals
in the case of Wilbur H, Rock, re-
tired police officer, in which that court
held that the transportation and pos
session of liquor by Rock involved moral
turpitude Justice Charles H. Robb
filed a dissenting opinion. Justice
Frederick L. SiddonS OF the District
Supreme Court, who first heard the
Rock case. held that no moral turpitudee
was involved In the possession and
transporting of liquor.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
announced today that when the plea Is
filed he will direct Assistant United
States Attorney Neil Burkinshaw to put
the matter down for immediate hearing
Rover will oppose the plea on the view
that the peculiar facts of the Rock case
We're responsible for the decision, 1t
being shown that the officer had taken
q special oath to support the Consti-'
tuition and the violation of the oath
added to the gravity of the offense.
Burkinshaw pointed out that the
Circuit Court of Appeals for the eighth
circuit on May II, 1927, took a differ
emit view of the law and adopted In its
decision the dissenting opinion by Jus
tice Robb and refused TO follow the
majority opinion. In that case the
court said: Moral turpitude Is re-
str1cted to gravest offenses, consisting
OF felonies. infamous crimes and those
that are nahum In sc and disclose .

As late a. July IS last the Second
Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the
contention of Robb's dissenting opinion.

MINISTER FACES
FIGHT BY BUL0W
Incumbent Senator Defeats
Hoover Republican in South
Dakota Primary.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tUd ASSOCidteu HTeSs.
SIOUX FALLS, S. OAK, May T.
Senator w. H. McMaster, Republican
independent, and Gov. w. j. Bulow,
Democrat, were nominated for United
States Senator from South Dakota, a
post now held by McMaster. according
to unofficial returns today on Tuesdays
State primary.
Miss Gladys Pyle, secretary of state,
was leading a field of five In the Re-
publican gubernatorial race. Miss Pyle
held a plurality of more than 1000 over
former Gov Carl Gunderson. who was
running second.
It appeared certain, however, that
neither Miss Pyle nor Gunderson would
receive the IS per cent of the total vote
necessary for nomination, and that II
would be necessary to decide the NOM
nation in party convention.
Gov. Bulow's running mate on the
Democratic ticket, d. A. Mccullough,
was leading L. e. Corey, Wagner pub
Usher, by q small but apparently safe
margin for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton.
Danforth Comedies Defeat.
Senator McMaster's victory was con-
ceded at midnight by George j. Dan
forth of Sioux Falls, who opposed him
as o Hoover Republican" Danforth
led in the early returns, but western
counties gave McMaster q majority of
1000, when $4,000 votes had been tahu-
lated.
Gov. Bulow won the Democratic NOM
nation for the Senate to oppose Nc
Master in the final election by over
whelming James Mcnamara of Huron,
who was placed In the race where the
party faction disagreed with Bulow's re-
fusal to Gust Republican bank super
tntendent.
Representative Royal johnson, from
the second district, was nominated by
large majority over Tom Ayred, who
ran on wet platform.
Woman's Victory Is Surprise.
In running for the Republican NOM
nation, Senator McMaster asked to be
elected "as vote of confidence in
Northwest progressive Republicans who
voted with Democrats against admin
istration policies" He was the first Of
the independent Republicans to run for
reelection since the advent Of the tariff
bill in Congress.
Miss Pyle's strength came as a sur
prise to most political observers who
during the closing weeks of the cam
paign predicted she would poll a low
vote. She was the last candidate to
enter the race and made q campaign
against her four male opponents with
out the support of party leaders.
