Canada tied for second place with only
one and one-half faults charged against
them, the Irish team of Capt. Dan
Cory and Capt Cyril Harry winning

Stars and Stripes for the first time. The
Americans have finished close seconds
or third but never have succeeded in

memory of Calbraith P. Rodgers.
Just 20 years ago yesterday he astound-
ed the country by completing the flrst
transcontinental fight. His time from
Sheepshead Bay. Brooklyn, to Pasa-
dena' Calf. was 40 days-and every
body declared 1t was grand.
Little Left Of Plane.
Starting from a Brooklyn race track
in his Burgess Wright biplane, the tall
birdman from Havre de Grace, Mo-
stuck to it through all kinds of adven-
lures. He smashed against hickory
tree at Middletown, N. Y; tangled with
a barbed wire tense at Red House. N: Y. {:

Texas; broke up circus performance
at Lordsburg, Ariz.; made forced
landing in a desert and was botnereo

He was wrecked so many times that
when he finished all that remained OF
his original plane was the vertical rud-
der and drip pan. All other parts had
been replaced.
A. special train, carrying his wife and
mother, accompanied him, and ne
found delight in beating it into stopping
places. Once in a while, however, he
would get of his course, for he followed
the railroad tracks, and the forks both
cred him.
But when he landed at Pasadena,
November S. 1911, he had added 1895
miles to the world record for cross
country flight His longest nonstop
was from Stoval Landing, Ariz., to I'M
perial junction, AriZ. 1t was 1873 miles
and he made it in 125 minutes.
Killed in Beach Crash.
A few months after the transconti-
mental flight, when the country was still
ringing with his fame, he was killed
in a crash into the surf of Long Beach,
Calf. He had been having some fun
swooping among a flock of seagulls.
On the way back to the pier something
went wrong.

Pending RetriaI.

BY the Associated Press.
LEBANON, Ind, November 6.-Judge
John w Hornaday today granted the
request of Mrs. Carrie Simmons attor-
neys that she be released on bond
pending a new trial on the charge OF
poisoning her 10-year-old daughter
Alice Jean.
The jury which heard Mrs Simmons
first trial was discharged last evening
when it reported inability to reach an
agreement after celebrating nearly 4S
hours. The final vote was eight to four
for acquittal
Faces Two Indictments.
Judge Hornaday fixed Mrs Simmons
bond at SIS, GOO on each of the two muir
der indictments pending against her.
She is also under indictment for the
murder Of her 14-year-old daughter,
Virginia.
Both children were victims of poison
placed in sandwiches prepared by their
mother for a family reunion here last
June.
During the % days of testimony in
her trial the State sought to show her
part in preparation of the sandwiches
and introduced an Indianapolis drug
gist, who testified she purchased poison
from him three days before her daugh-
tiers died.
Retrial to Be Asked.
The defense countered with a Bar
gersville, Ind, farm woman, who said
1t was she who purchaser the poison,
and Mrs Simmons attorneys openly
pointed suspicion at the defendant
brother-in-law, Horace M. jackson
who, they commended, was at odds with
the Simmons family and had ample
opportunity to slip poison into the
sandwiches.
Prosecutor Ben M. Stifres expressed

Patronage Judges

The latest Wickershara report laments the patron
age evil in appointments of federal district attorneys
How about the worse menace Of patronage dictation
in the making of federal judges?
handy example is that Of San Francisco's federal
Judge, Harold Louderback nominated by Senator Sam
Shortridge and appointed by Coolidge over vigorous
protests from Senator Hiram Johnson and other pro-
gressves. AS Superior Judge Louderback was in the
habit of naming his own baif to fat receverships
in bankruptcy cases
When elevated to a life position the federal
bench he transferred his favors to those who had
helped elevate him. it is charged. He named Senator
Shortrdges son to receivershp in a defunct insur-
firm. The state insurance commissioner, E.
Forrest Mitchell objected on the ground that If the
receivership administered by his Office the
pany's creditors would be saved large sum. Judge
Louderback fought back and issued injunction to
keep young Shortridge the job.
The United States circuit court not only ruled
against Louderback but called his conduct Improper
The United States supreme court upheld the lower
court
The Louderback example is said to be all too typical
in many districts of the way receiverships doed
out in reward for political favors This calls for
thorough study by those anxious to elevate the stand

OF the 98,491 physicians now as
ISOLATED with hospitals, $4,000, Or al
most so per cent, are specialists,
contrasted with some Is per cent of
specialists in 1905.
Another factor has been the de-
velopment of technical assistants in
medical care, including dietitians,
physical therapy technicians, X-ray
technicians, nurses, orderlies and
social service workers, so that to-
day, in addition to the $4,000 ply
Sicians licensed to practice medi-
cine in the United States, there are
at least 100000 additional workers
who devote practically all their
time to the care of the sick.
Since labor cost is one of the
highest costs in any service, these
facts must be considered in connec-
ton with the cost Of medical care.
The development of university
practice, group practice, medical
centers, contract practice, industrial
practice and similar changes in the
nature CT medical practice, has been
the response to an attempt to de-
crease the cost of medical care by
lowering the cost of the overhead
through better distribution.

A Start or Finish?

Will the probe ordered by the public
service commission of the holding company
for telephones formerly owned by the Good
RICH interests be the start or the finish of
interest by that body in such organizations
The commission has for the first time in
three years exercised its legal right to insti-
tute inquiries on it's own initiative and with
out petition.
1t charges that there were excessive
prices paid to holding company for such
services as it rendered to the individual COM
panies. Unfortunately in the headlines of
the first article of The Times, the use of the
word fraud" was made. That word is not in
the formal charges. The basis of inquiry is
tbs size of tha bills of the holding company.
Possibly the commission may find that
the lack Of any specific law to investigate
holding companies may stop the inquiry. The
last legislature yielded to the pleas of
highly organized utility lobby and defeated
all such proposed legislation. The utilities
said then that there was no necessity for
such law and that the commission could
find out all that is necessary for public pro-
lection in the books of the individual COM
panies.
If that be true, the inquiry now ordered
should be followed by others. The public is
entitled to protection from all excessive costs
for utilities.
One of the inquiries which should be
made is into the comparative costs of tele-
phone service under Independents and the
gigantic monopoly.
Is it true that this particular company
served farmers for $1.25 month while the
big monopoly got So in adjoining counties?
Is it true that this independent served
city subscribers at $3.50 month and its
big competitor got as high as $3.50 for sim
liar service?
If this comparison be correct and the
charge is true that the cost of holding COM
pany for the little fellow is excessive, how
usurious are the charges Of the big concern?
Not only telephone holding companies
but other utilities might come within the
scope Of inquiry. The practices of electric
companies in charging up high costs through
the holding company device needs investiga-
ton.
Will The commission dare to go through
Or is this gesture fake and political?
Does the commission, having started,
dare to quit before it goes into the whole
question? Or was it merely after former
Governor Goodrich?

The Sooner the Better

II Pennsylvania, with 10000 miners on strike, es
capes further violence and disorder in the tense weeks
certain to follow it probably will be because OF Gov
ernor Pnchots wise decision to abolish the private
coal and iron police.
Existence of this private constabulary selected and
saaried by industry but invested with authority from
the state inevitably has made trouble in labor dis
putes 1t hardly was to be expected that coal and
iron policeman would be more jealous about the
welfare Of the state and the civil rights OF all its
citizens than he was about worsting the enemies Of
his employer
And the coal and iron police behaved in past labor
disputes as one might expect.
Governor Pinchot promised, when he was can
ddate for office to remodel the coal and iron police
system so that the state would select its personnel
while the inustrialsts whose large properties were to
be protected would continue to pay its salaries,
The legislature refused to approve this plan, and
so Pnchot has turned to better one. Property
threatened by violence will be protected by state
police commissioner, paid by the commonwealth.
There is at least chance that such force will be
as careful of the life and rights of Pennsylvania c
gems as of fences and factories At worst if the new
force is lawless like the coal and iron police the state
will be responsible.

IN view the case of ex-Secretary Fall, lot of
politicians are hoping to have the trial court suspend
the sentence and this Is done they should drape
the courthouse in mourning and put monkey in
the place of the Goddess Of Justice.
Just because this convicted ex-cabinet officer has
fought this case for eight long years these politicians
would reward his defiance with mercy
To hand him his liberty would plume our already
discredted criminal procedure into IEepest oboquy.
Had Fall come into court eight or nine years ago
and entered plea of guilty and taken his medicine,
there might have been justification for taking
of his stripes after term of years, but for the i'm
pudent defendant who has played horse in every court
for eight years there should be no delay in the adj
ministraton Of the sentence.
T>ALL gets one year for taking bride to divert
the oil lands belonging to the nation he had taken
oath to serve. this being Just about one-half the
sentence usually given chicken thief, when, If
there any justice in it, he would serve the rest OF
his days behind the bars.
There is a certain thrill about some forms Of
stealing, but there is none whatever about the steal
ing of the politician who is honored by his fellow
men and then enters public Office to dishonor it.
Such a wretch is just about the lowest form Of
animal life.
MANY years ago we used to join our neghborhood
Iva comrades ana climb into the haymow and read
the life Of Jesse James and still recall the strange
fascination exerted by his audacity in holding up
single handed the midnight express and going
through the express cars golden contents.
But there's no fascination whatever about the
crook who gets a public Office. then sinks to the
snaky level Of taking money from sneak who wishes
TO make crooked contract to rob the country which
protects his life and property.
After reading the nyes Of Captain Kidd, Frank
and Jesse James, the Dalton gang and others who
took their lives in their hands to rob- we feel dis
tnct disgust on reading of Falls connection with the
oil cases. -
Yes, the ex-secretary suffers frosn comparison

On the Other Foot

The unfortunate killing of two Mexican students
by Oklahoma deputy sheriff throws into lurid
contrast the American attitude toward such events
when foreigner in this country is the victim and
when an American abroad is the victim
When a foreigner is the VICTIM refuse to get
excited-even though he is relative to the president
But when an American is the victim in, say, Mica
ragua Haiti or Mexico, there is immediate talk Of
intervention or war to avenge the wrong.
Recently Latin American diplomat in his lega-
ton in Washington almost killed by American
liquor thieves. That event was considered SO unil-
portant that most Americans probably do, not even
know it occurred.
How different would have been the tale If a
United States legation in Central America had been
robbed and the United States minister brutally
assaulted!
The same applies to Mexico 1t is lawless coun-
try needing the pacihcation of its northern neighbor
according to the argument which interventioniss
drag out at every provocation. And the proof cited
of the lawessnesS Of Mexico and its unf1tness to
govern itself is precisely the isolated in which
Americans have been killed in Mexico.
All of that is, of course absurd And this Okla
homa experience and the recent Washington episode
should open the eyes of many who hitherto have not
seen that absurdity.
The truth is that neither the people whole
nor the government is in any way responsible for
countries Therefore they should not be allowed to
cast the slightest shadow the friendly relations

Some Weather Proverbs Are
to Be Trusted; Others Are
BaseleS8.
DROvERBs about the weather
i can be divided into two classes
those that are trustworthy and
those that are not. The trick is to
know which proverb to trust.
Weather can often be forecast a
short time ahead from the observa-
ton Of clouds. This is natural, since
the height, extent, and shape Of
clouds depends upon the tempera-
ture, the humidity, and the air cur
rents.
AS result many weather prov
erns have grown up which are based
upon observation of the clouds
These are fairly accurate and usual

clouds are observed and these clouds
do not appear to be growing any
thicker. that fair weather can be
expected for the next twenty-four
hours.
On the other hand, when the cir
rus clouds grow thicker and develop
into heavier types of clouds, rain
may be expected within twenty-four
hours.
The cirrus clouds are the tirv
wisps of cloud which frequently are
seen very high in the sky. One
form OF cirrus cloud is known popu-
larly as mares tails"
When cirrus clouds begin to
thicken, they develop into smaIl
rounded masses Of clouds known as
cirrocumulus clouds. A sky filed with
these clouds is popularity known as a
