CHAPTER 10

@AA -
When Elanda burst into the
apartment and Dixie saw her face
she knew something exciting had
happened.
What now?" she queried. Did
you strike oil or the old homestead"
Il have a date" she tossed. her
hat on the couch and squeezed Dixie
excitedly, with an English lord!
He heard me on the radio and ask
ed Carmel Provost TO fix it up"
Dixie's eyes opened wider.
"A date with a iordi My gawd!
You'll be bringing the president
home next. VINO Is this-er, lord?"
II forget TO ask what his name
was" Elanda laughed. "All ! heard
was that he was a lord"
And so you got all hipped up
about it. 7 suppose IL II had been
a Prince they'd have brought you
home in an ambulance"
Elanda didn't expect Dixie to take
that tone. She expected her TO rave
with joy and congratulations. Dixie,
she decided. was jealous. So she
shrugged indifferently and went
into the bathroom 10 turn on the
water for her tub.
"Seen Euwanee?" Dixie inquired
when she passed through the living
room.
Elanda stopped short-her hand
over her heart

! remember, I remember
That dim and distant morn
When to a drone Of p~latitudes
The conference was born;
The tender talk Of sacrifice,
The gestures day by day:
The pledges OF the diplomats
Who mean not what they sayl
! remember, 7 remember
The schedules that we bore
For parity Of naval strength
And peace forevermore;
The speeches that Macdonald made,
The talk Of warships sunk,
The chatter about tonnage cut
Today it seems such bunk
I remember, I remember
How England and Japan
And Italy and war-torn France
Talked brotherhood Of man;
How each profeSsed to crave the day
When navies would be small
And then with rare facility
Forgot about 1t ALL
I remember. I remember
The hopes that Hoover had.
The warm exchange Of messages
That made our hearts so glad;
My spirit flew in feathers then
That is so heavy now,
For how was / to know the things
They'd later diSavow?
I remember. I remember
The pictures that we drew
OF battleships and cruisers strapped
And navies knocked askew;
OF submarines wiped off the seas
And tonnage cut In half
When I recall the speeches now
I cannot help but laugh.
I remember, I remember,
Our hopes SO bright and high;
1 used to think their cleaning tops
Were closed against the sky;
1t was a childish ignorance,
But now 1t saddens me
To know our aims are farther off
Than when we crossed the sea.

than 90 days Imprisonment and a
fine of less than $500.
1t was pointed out in the
courts opinion today that the
Common Law provides jury trial
in all indictable cases and the
District Law before the days of
the automobile were cited by
Justice Robb when he said:
1T was an indictable offenSe
at common law amounting to q
breach of speace, to drive a
carriage over a crowded or popu-
louS street, at such a rate or in
such manner as to endanger the
safety of the inhabitants"
Justice Robb also pointed out
the provisions contained in the
Seventh Amendment to the Con
Stitution allowing a jury trial in
civil cases amounting to more
than $40 and declares:
1T would be an anomalous
situation, indeed, If in civil
suit against Colts in the District
of Columbia involving more than
$40 he could demand a jury
trial as Of right and yet could
be deprived of that privilege in
a prosecution for a common law
offense involving his reputation
and liberty"
Further pointing to the Third
Amendment of the Constitution
providing tina "he rial of all
crimes, except in cases of i'm.
peachment, shall be by jury" the
court brought the case to head by
declaring that it was only neces-
Sary to determine whether the
offenSe charged against Colts was
a crime within the meaning of
the Constitution.
The analogy between the pres
ent case and those arising under
the National Prohibition Law can
easily be seen. The court to.
day held that, according to the
common law, all indictable of,
lenses must be triable by a jury
and that the test largely lay in
the offenSe and the amount of
punishment prescribed.
Comparison Is Made
The JoneS-Stalker law under
which cases of manufacture, sale
and transportation of liquors are
now tried provide a maximum
sentence Of $4,000 fine and
years imprisonment. They are
indictable cases and the plan of
the Wickersham Commission to
try these cases before a commits.
Sioner and dispense with jury
trials to expedite the disposition
OF liquor cases and avoid court
congestion, is plainly at variance
with now established law.
Attorneys Whelan and O'Con.
nell, when questioned as to the
extent Of the effect of the present
decision, declared that the au.
thorities and precedents studied
by them in the preparation OF
the Colts case seemed to queStGn
the right of a defendant to waive
a jury trial in police court even
if he chose to do so, where the
offenSes might come within the
common-law category Of indie
table cases.

nouncing that Herbert's transfer

Doran to try to discharge him

with regret.
Doran announced yesterday that
Robert D. Ford. former deputy

DENY SPLIT

Premier Macdonald and the dele,
gates of the British dominions
last week, claimed it was the real
reason why the Americans were
not presenting any written obSer-
vStions on Frances compromise
proposal today.
Without mentioning any names,
the newspapers diplomatic cor
respondent indicated that Secre-
sary of the Navy Adams, and
Senators Reed and Robinson were
opposed to the concessions which
the diplomatic element in the
American delegation headed by
Ambassador Morrow was prepared
to make toward the French view
point.
The newspaper indicated that
the dispute within the delegation
had been put up to President
Hoover for a decision. Pending
the Presidents instructions in the
matter, the Telegraph correspond
ent claimed, the American delega-
ton would not commit itself
definitely one way or the other
on the French proposal.
Those observers who are in
clined to regard the American
delegations denial as merely a
diplomatic denial" however,
pointed to the fact that Secretary
of State Stimson, Ambassador
Morrow, Secretary Adams anG
Senator Reed conferred at length
yesterday before Colonel StimSon
and Mr.. Adams conferred with
Premier Macdonald.
During the course of a two-hour
meeting this morning, the way
was paved to bring Italy into
alignment on the FrancoBritish
compromise proposal for limita-
tion. A spokesman for the
Italian delegation declared that
the compromise, with the changes
embodied in the British counter
proposal, is far more satisfactory
than it was before and less cal.

Frieda Fischer is expected to be

jury.
One report that was neither al

the court house to the effect that
fingerprintS were found on the
throat of the girl. The marks in
question, it is alleged. were not
discovered until the afternoon Of
the funeral when they were
noticed on the throat Of the
corpse by a friend of the family.
It is understood that an affidavit
to this effect was turned over to
Burkinshaw sometime ago.

coroner who performed the
autopsy, is understood to have
told the Grand Jury yesterday
that there were no marks on
the body except an abrasion on
the forehead and slight dis
colorations about the eyes.
DR.. Rogers stated that Mrs.

. Appointment of Charles Evans
Hughes as Chief Justice today

from 1910 to 1916, the regime of

yate Associate Justice Harlan
Fiske Stone to the post.
Often Divided S to 3
:. With the court sharply divided,
8 to 3, in many vital constltu-
tional decisions in the past three
years, Hoover's first appointment
to the court occaSioned wide com
ment among lawyers and officials.
Occasionally the court has di-
Vtded, 5 to 4.
! The majority of the court, in
cluding Chief Justice Taft, JUS
tices VanDeVanter, McReynoldS,
Eutler, Sutherland and Sanford
have frequently been at odds with
Justices Holmes, Brande1s and
Stone.
The appointment Of a Justice in
sympathy with the three dissent
ing justices, it was pointed out,
might have vitally affected many
close decisions Of vast importance.
The cleavage in the court has
found it's chief expression over
: methods Of valuing public utili-
ties and the extent to which
States can go in enacting 1egisla-
ton without violating thR Fed.
eral Constitution.
Arguments of Hughes in many
important cases before the high
tribunal in the last two years
have indicated he believes in the
tenants Of the majority of the
court.
Argued Big Case
In one of the most important
cases before the court in the
last decade. Hughes appeared as
attorney for, the Interboro Rapid
Transit Company of New York.
In this case he maintained the
the theory that the Federal Con
stitution's protection to business
was sufficient to overthrow the
five-cent fare contracted for by
the city and subway company.
:; In another important case
the Chicago-Great Lakes diver
sion suit-HugheS served as
special master and was in part
overruled by the high court.
At present time his second re-
port to the court, complying
with its instruction, is pending,
and set for consideration on
March 10. Attorneys for Illinois
and the Chicago Sanitary Dis
trict and six opposing Great
Lake States have filed objections
to the report. It is expected Mr..
Hughes will not participate in
the courts deliberations.
Speedy confirmation by the
Senate Is expected on the nomi-
nation of Hughes. Senator Norris
(R.) of Nebraska, chairman of the
judiciary Committee said that the
nomination would not be taken up
before the committees regular
meeting next Monday, but he pre-
dicted favorable action.
