New York.-Abolitio of the jury
system in all civil and criminal cases,
except possibly murder cases." was
favored by Emory R. Buckner, for

Washington-Plan for an air mail line between the Twin Cities and Winnipeg were announced here by w. Irving Glover, assistant post master general in charge Of air mail, following his return from Can- ada, where conferences were held with Canadian postal officials
 Opening of the service has been set tentatively for January 15. It will complete an airline from the Twin Cities to Iklavik, Alaska. only a short distance from the North Pole. Connections will also be made from Winnipeg west to Vancouver when the airline is lighted.
 Looking into the future. Glover yisualized an air trade route to the Far East-China and Japan-Via the Canadian route, up the Macken- zie river, through Alaska and across the Boring Strait into Soviet Russia:
 He pointed out the possibilities or an airline from Europe to the Unit ed States and then by air from At lanta to Winnipeg and the Far East via northwest Canada. Mall rom Great Britain would reach emma and Japan two weeks sooner than the present method, he declared.

Expressing the opinion that sales agents resort to rather high handed practices with a complete disregard for the law, Judge John F. McGrath issued a warning today which Is likely to put the quietus on future efforts of credit companies to regain possession of merchandise.
 The remarks of the judge were addressed to all agents and not es- pecially for the benefit of the de- fendant in court today. The case of William Reed, 2S, charged with breach of the peace was disposed of with suspended sentence.
 Mrs John Kelleher of St Mar garet avenue returned to her home yesterday afternoon and according to her statement today nearly drop- ped dead from fright" when she dis covered man in the kitchen of her house. She remembered distinctly locking the door of her home, but admitted leaving the key in the lock. When she regained her composure and demanded an explanation from the stranger, he informed her that he had called to claim an oil burner as Mrs Kelleher was in arrears on her payments and had violated her contract or bill of sale. She was of the opinion that she had not vio- lated her agreement.
 "You could have been killed doing that" remarked the court, and this woman would not have been held re- sponsible. How did she know that you were not in her home for the purpose of robbing it?"
 "I don't think anyone would at tempt to burglarize a stove," an- swered Attorney John Burns, coun- sel for the accused.
 Tt wouldn't make any difference. The accused had no business enter ing the house without the owners permission or attempting to receive property without the proper papers. Why. all of us would be in trouble if that practice were permitted here" replied Judge McGrath. This would increase the cost of things, expense of sheriff services. and other incidentals," stated coun- sel for the defense. Even so. it would be safer for all concerned" the court responded.

meet a committee of the borough board at some future date at the trolley stop to study the matter with the board and try to arrive at some 8. .lution of the problem. At the last meeting of the borough board, Clerk Hearns was instructed to ask Man. ager Chapman to attend meeting of the borough board to discuss the matter.
 The company some months ago conducted a checkup at the point in question and made suggestions to the borough fathers that safety zones be installed. The borough board drowned on this proposal. At the last meeting of the board Bur gess Maurice Anenberg who has been making a consistent effort to have the condition remedied again brought the matter up.
 According to the attitude of board members the condition must be remedied as it has become a nui- sance in their opinions. Long lines of traffic are held up repeatedly, the borough fathers state, while motor men are engaged in collecting fares from passengers. The board mem- bers want the fares collected at some other point.

SUPREME COURT SETS RECORD IN
 CASES HANDLED
AdjOurns for Summer After Clearing Most of
 Docket

Washington.-Whe the United States supreme court adjourned for it's summer recess it not only had decided many intricate questions of law, but had established new rec ord in the number of cases handled. The constantly growing calendar of the court was cleared as far as it is possible to do so under it's method of procedure and no cases were held over after argument for de- cision next fall.
 While lacking some of the sen- sational questions presented in previous years the court handed down many rulings which cleared up the legalistic chaos existing on many points of law.
 Industrial Rulings
 To industry the court gave de- cisions on the trade practices em- ployed in the oil business, deliv- cred several rulings on the radio industry, particularly in its ruling on the Langmuir patents, defined how far the motion picture indus try could go in eliminating certain irregularities in the trade, and de- cided a wide variety of tax cases.
 Probably of most general inter- est were it's rulings on prohibition, capped by it's reiteration of the validity of the 18th amendment in the Clark case. In addition to passing on many criminal convic- tions for violations of the nations most controversial law, the court also went further in defining its stand on the laws governing search and seizure and the for feiture of property.
 Personal Liability.
 Scarcely less interesting were the courts ruling on several cases involving personal liberty. the chief of which served to bring out with greater emphasis point that had been largely overlooked be- fore. This was the new alignment of the court with the so-called liberals on several occasions in the majority.
 This new tendency was not string enough to permit the lib- erals to write the courts opinion in the cases of the two conscien- tious objectors who sought citi- zenship, Miss Marie Averill Bland and Professor Douglas Clyde Mac intosh. But it did serve to carry the court in the Indiana chain store tax case and in other cases involving StaetS rlBntS.
 In the one instance where 1t had a chance to express itself on labor question the court ruled em' phatically in favor of the labor forces when it found that the Ar kansas full-train and full-switchine crew laws were still valid.
 Criminal Decisions
 In the realm of criminal puris- prudence the court passed on but few of the numerous cases pre- sented. This may be explained ir part by the frequently remarked tendency of well-to-do malefactors to obtain a delay in the execution oi their jail sentences by appealing.
 Where there has been a decided threat to the constitutional right of the individual the court has ap' parently not hesitated to protect even the poor criminal. This is perhaps best illustrated in the ap peal of Alfred Scott Aldredge, con victed slayer of white policeman in Washington.
 The court not only reviewed Al dredge's conviction but gave hin new trial after Chief Justice Hughes in heated terms de nounced the refusal of the tria judge to ask prospective jurors Il they had an racial prejudice.

Albany.-A bill requiring that all airplanes operating within the state be licensed. will be introduced in the state legislature some time this month, Senator J. Griswold Webb. chairman of the state aviation com mission, announced here.
 The bill will embody regulations heartily endorsed by the entire avia- ton industry and government offi- cials. It will serve to restrict itin- erant flyers Hopping" passengers Tn planes of fiimsy construction and add public confidence in aviation, leaders in the aviation industry de- clare.
 'The government is only empow.. cred to insist on the licensing or planes engaged in intrastate flying. Senator Webb explained. Tt Is up to the states to regulate Interstate ac- tiyities.

The corps rallied yesterday to give
their comrade military burial that
for dignity, impressiveness and depth of
feeling has never been surpassed in
West Point history. In full dress,
shouldering their rifles, they guarded
him in honor as he lay through the
day In the tiny Catholic chapel on a
knoll overlooking the Hudson.
His Catholic comrades went to a last

Yale or Princeton team. 1t is just
that in appearance, Junior Tiger or
Bulldog outfit.
For, end berths Middleton has Page
COrnwell, Bowdoin Craighill and Jim
Keeble. Each of these players is fast
and experienced. COrnwell is feet
145-pOunder, who can flash out of the
line on Offense to pull down a forward
or rip through on defense to take out
an enemy back.
For mis- tackle situation Middleton has
Ned Shipper, a very alert youngster,
who has all of the bearing of a real
Cracraft, 220-pound youngster With
lots of leg power and speed. Shipper
has been playing for several years and
is swiftly reaching schoolboy peak.
st. Adams guards are running ones
and good. Bob Fletcher, whose broth
er now plays at Harvard and Eric
Rafter, 155-pOund boy, make up a
splendid pair for the difficult line berths.
Fletcher is the only new boy on the
team, making Middleton's task not so
difficult this year.
Jim Davis, son of Senator Davis
of Pennsylvania, lis the center man.
He is a 1.-the loungster with an alert
mind and can be depended upon TO
arises in his territory.
In the backfield, John MCGEE scin-
tillates as triple threat. He can heave
the leather, break away down field for
a piece of intelligent broken field run
ming or kick the ball accurately. Nc
Gee, out at st. Adams, is rated as one
of the best of the group of splendid
scholastic backfield players now showing
its talents in the District
But he is given a strenuous run for
honors by Bayne Castle they tell me,
who plays a quarter berth. Castle is
an experienced player with a lot Of
power on defense. Few of the enemy
tear past his post for bit of galloping.
For the fullback position there is
Bits CheS1ey, a strong defensive back,
who calls the signals and captains the
team upon the field. Chesley Is a
smart, powerful boy with a splendid
foot ball future. He has all the ear
marks OF pOSsesSor of a punch in =
pinch.
Bob Lorton is another halfback upon
whom the coach can depend for a run
or a smash off-tackle. The entire lay
out in back of the forwards is a Wen
trained dependable one, and the coach
makes no effort to conceal his conf
dence in the boys.
One of the most pleasing athletic
situations at the school is the athletic

its final practice today for
an annual encounter with St
Christopher eleven tomorrow
This annual grid combat with
the smart youngsters from Rich
mond-clever enough to take over
the Albanian crew three successive
years-is one of the important
schoolboy conflicts of the day.
Coach A. R. Middleton'S Blue
and White material shapes up
splendidly. 1t is one of the
Smoothest functioning scholastic
elevens this writer has gazed upon
this season. It may lack pounding
power and reckless daring in its
plays, but in yesterdays practice
upon the school field it displayed
series of well timed, beautifully
rythmetic formations, and carried
them out perfectly.
Coach Middleton. former Haverford
backfleld star and of a family of college
athletes, tells me that he is not bur
dening his players with too many plays
nor is he using formations too COM
plicated. The Blue and White mentor
is pupil of Coach Hartman, University
of Pennsylvania, which no doubt
prompts him to use the Warner system
of play at ST Adams with, OF course,
his own variations.
st. Adams has prospered under Mid
dleton's regime. making a satisfactory
showing last season and winning two
of its three games played this year,
Dewitt and Georgetown Prep, and losing
the third conflict by a lone touchdown
to Shenandoah Valley.
There is no doubt that the Al
banians are keyed up for tomorrow's
Skirmish with st. Christopher. From
the boys in the lower school to the vet
Grams on the first team every one
speaks with anticipation. of the annual
clash with the Richmond eleven.
st. Christopher whipped the st. Al
bans team three years in a row, they
tell me, and this is the year the boys
want to go out and start a new slate.
With the assistance of Burnice Jar
man, former Episcopal Academy athlete
Middleton has Systematically whipped
together an eleven which functions so
well in practice that he can parade it
before any grid observer and chuckle
with pride. II appears as it slips into
gear. somewhat similar to one OF the
bigger college elevens. II functions
much ON the same ordnr Is q Harvard,
