when some native or strictly local lawyer Is
elevated to the bench in the District and the
office not given away to pay some political debt.
The Police Court, many traffic violators
know, is not housed in this building. and you
must pay your respects to Judge Schuldt or
one of the other assessors" at Sixth and D
streets Judge Mattingly, Miss Mary OToole
and the rest of the Municipal Court judges are
located on John Marshall place but must move
in course of time when the District starts
building it's new home. With the exception,
then of the Juvenile Court, so efficiently pre-
sided over by Miss Katherine Sellers all the
other judicial branches of a local semi-local
character are located in the old City Hall
Building.
THOUGH the corner stone of the City Hall
was laid on Tuesday. August %, 1920, yet
it was many years before it was completed and
then only q section or two at time. Indeed,
Sessford tells US, 19 years later: THE City
Hail. that has stood so long in a rough state,
Is nearly completed on the south front
according to its original design, and has a
grand appearance: an extension of the two
wings is much wanted for city and United
States purposes"
Again in 1850. Sessfcrd records: 1.-The
trance of the east and west fronts, agreeable
to the plan would afford ample room for city
uses: to the west and the east, rooms could

and am informed that 900 would be SUM-
cient for the west wing, and the east wing.
from the nature of the ground, would require
somewhat more. The rOtunda portion need
not be touched for some time"
In Mr.. SeeSford's annals for the year 1859
he also makes reference to the City Hall, in
dicating that it was not completed at that
time. That the District government moved into
it at an early date is quite evident, for we find
an early statement to the effect that, I'm the
Weightman buildings (Which were located on
the east side of Sixth street between Pennsyl-
vania avenue and street probably covered by
the National HoteD, for two years prior to
August 15 1920. the mayor and the register
had Offices: then they moved to the City
Hail"
Another item that shows the Districts early
occupancy reads: AT the City Hail. upon the
mayors call was q town meeting. July g. 1926,

heartbroken families Of those who died
that 1t was the FIRST accident Of the
Ludington Line In more than q million
miles Of flying with eighty-five thou
sand persons being carried swiftly to
their destinations. But this record OF
safe fiying-the best Of its kind ever
established by any air service--can well
be cited to those who may be inclined
to renounce the plane as q method OF
transportation.
Investigation OF the accident is going
forward apace. Perhaps the cause will
never be known. The charred bit OF
wreckage that was once the queen OF
the line and the fieetest plane ever to
operate on regular commercial sched-
ule will probably give up few secrets.
And, as in everything else, eyewitness
accounts viii differ. It is earnestly to
be hoped that the reason for the crash
can be discovered, and If that Is pos
sible, 1t will undoubtedly be done. In
the meantime all hearts go out to
those whose loved ones persisted. Theirs
is the real burden and whether the in
vestigations are successful or not, their
sorrow will not be alleviated.

Report of Great New Planet
Suggests Vast Solar Group

nounceuent, the Cleveland News states:
THE discovery Of new heavenly bodies
next door to us, relatively speaking, Is
a hint of the wonders of the universe
astronomers may be expected to reveal
as methods and equipment become
steadily more effective. The solar sys-
TEN explored, the universe beckons.
Mans 'eyesight' still lags, however, be-
hind the marvellous creations Of his
brain. At any time the invention Of
huge telescopes, beyond anything yet
known, may change all this. The Sc
crets Of space that may in time be
pr1ed into by human eyes are almost
as limitleSs as space itself"
Presumably the light from the
planet" according to the New York
Herald Tribune, will consist of re-
hected sunlight only, as Is true of all
the other planets that we know. BY
the time the suns rays have reached
the distance Of 5000, 000, 900 to 9,o0o,-
estimates to be the radius of the
unbound planets orbit, those rays viii
be greatly enfeebled. Still DINNER will
be the reflection to the earth by the
time the light rays have recroSsed the
void. The expected disk may be q
mere gray spot against the sky, scarce
ly brighter than the sky itself"
HAD luck been with him. In the
opinion OF the New York Times, Pick
ering might have received the credit FOR
Plutos discovery as early as 1919, when.
presumably at his request, four plates
taken at Mount Wilson were examined
In vain for new outer planets. Thanxs
to q bequest made by Lowell. a re-
examination last year revealed Pluto on
the same plates not far from the posi-
ton computed by Pickering. In the
light Of this record Prof. Pickering IA
entitled to more than usual CONSIDER
alton when he declares his belief In
the existence of at least three more
trans-Neptunian planets, professionally
designated p, and TT
