SEWARD KUNz RETURNS FROM
 CHURCH MEET
Juneauite Attends Presby- terian General Assem-
 ply at Denver

Seward KunZ returned home to Juneau on the Admiral Watson Saturday night from the Presby- terian General Assembly at Den yer, Colorado, enthusiastic over the commission with which he was charged by the General Assembly to reawaken his fellow members in his Home church to the oppor- tunities for the application of the Christian religion to the problems of today.
 Evangelism was the keynote of the Assembly, according to this returned commissioner. A great spiritual power possessed the As sembly through the entire week of its deliberations, and the whole body of 930 commissioners is car- rying to Presbyterian Churches throughout the United States a re- newal of the evangelistic spirit and the spiritual reawakening of the 100000 communicant membership The executive organization of the Presbyterian Church has already begun to set up a nationwide pro- gram for the fulfilment of this evangelistic opportunity and for the transmission of the urgency Iof the message.
 Significant Actions
 | One of the significant actions of the Assembly, this Commissioner reports, was the adoption of re- port on Social and Industrial Re- lations, as a result of which every pastor faces the obligation to lead the members of his congregation in recognizing their Christian re- responsibilities for correcting evils in the present social and industrial order. Churches everywhere are encouraged to make the largest possible use of their plants for community and neighborhood ser- vice in this time of need and dis tress.
 The Assembly reaffirmed it's con- viciton that religious ligerty is an inalienable right of all men ev- anywhere, and called upon the en- tire church in these difficult days to an increased devotion to Christ and larged obedience to the terms of the great Commission so that no retreat may be sounded in any mission field around the world
 The Commissioner reports that the General Assembly declared against a referendum on the Eigh- teenth Amendment and pledged it. self anew to the historic position of the Presbyterian church in op- position to the liquor traffic. The Assembly also went on record as pledging it's undivided support for peace and international goodwill and for the abolition of war.
 The Assembly urged the Federal Council of Churches in supplying religious services over radio broad casting chains to provide services thoroughly .evangelistic and posi- lively Christian, and protested against the broadcasting of secu- lar advertising on the Sabbath Day.
 Oppose Lawlessness
 The General Assembly placed it. self on record as being opposed to all violence, lynching and law

deStroyerS; readers OF human nature-applying
the law, not with iron hand, but with
mind looking to justice and the best in
terest OF the people.
THE court itself is unique IN that it is the
| only Federal Police Court in the United
States Many of the cases tried in the Dis
trict courts Of the United States, particularly
prohibition cases. are tried here. Its juris-
diction is concurrent with that of the Supreme
Court of the District, wherein the penalty is
year and the difference of one day in
penalty and one dollar in the character Of
the amount of the ofTense in larceny and
embezzlement is the dividing line as to the
exclusive jurisdiction by the Supreme Court.
The present bench OF the court is
ceptionally capable one. Judge Schuldt, the
presiding justice-elected as such by the other
judges-haS served continuously since 1928 his
three commissions being signed in order by
Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. He
is a native of the District of Columbia, Is
graduate of Columbian Cnow George Wash
ingtOn University and the National University
law schools; belongs to many traternitieS, has
a delightful mother and sister-as the writer
can testify-and until year ago when cor
nered by Dan Cupid, confirmed bachelor.
All Of the judges professional career has been
interviewer with municipal affairs in Washing
ton. He for many years assistant cor
poration counsel before assuming his present
position. and his wide scope of experience
makes him exceptionally fitted for the duties
of his office.
His honor John P. Mcmahon is now rem
derng his fourteenth year on the Police Court
bench, and in length Of service is the senior
Of his contemporaries. He too, is a native
Of the District and is man highly regarded
for his judicial ability. The fact that he has
served so long on the bench is a true indi-
cation Of the esteem in which he is held by
the members of the Bar Association and the
people in general of the city.
Judge Isaac r. Hit was first sworn in
March 81 1925. He was born in Chicago. Ill,
and came to the District of Columbia in 1898.
In 1891 he entered Kent College of Law. Chi
cago, from which he graduated with the de-
gree of bachelor of laws in 1894 and was ad-
mitted to the bar Of Illinois before coming
here soon after which he completed the in

Judges Schuldt and Mcmahon, he, too. was

triCt attorney before being elevated TO the bench
and is married and has two sons.

\ omitted at this time is Robert z. Mat
tingly. judge OF the Municipal Court, who
is detailed to preside over one Of the benches
OF the Police Court when one of the regular
judges Is on leave or unable to perform his
duties, and that he performs this added duty
with fidelity and ability no one who knew
the man would ever doubt. He is a real type
OF the worthwhile native citizen Of the Dis
trict, knows human nature to perfection, in
addition to law, and knows how conscientiouSly
to apply both; tells a good story, is friendly
and good rixer-attributes that go to make
a man popular.
In early life the judge a court stenog-
rapher and law clerk, and was at time law
clerk and special pension examiner in the

was born in Chatfeld MINI. He first went to
the Police Court in 1897 In 1902, due to the
result OF troubles occurring that year with
the collection Of fines, the position OF finance
clerk was created and he was appointed to the
position. Later, in 1908, he was transferred to
the Office Of clerk Of the court upon the death

the kind Offices Of Judge Mattingly and Batf
Hughes this principal actor OF Police Court
Justice might have been omitted.
Many will recall this dignifed, rotund
gentleman as he sat upon the bench-eyery
inch judge. He died in 1890, and The Star
of October 25 of that year said OF him:
Hon william B Smell, for many years
Judge of the Police Court died suddenly at

night He had been indisposed for sometime
but was not compelled TO take to his bed until
wednesday. He had been out Tuesday night
TO attend meeting Of the Associated Charities,
OF which he was president, and it was not until
the following night that his family realized
that ne was seriously i'll. He dressed himself
Thursday but remained in the house during
the day, not complaining sufficiently to cause
alarm 10 his friends, although his physician,
DR. Walsh, had warned the family that the
end might come at any moment.
Yesterday the judge sat up all day and
was more than usually cheerful Shortly after
o'clock last night DR.. Coney pastor of the
Metropolitan NJ Z. Church, called and had
brief conversation with the judge saying as ne
left that he would see him again this morning
Just afterward the Judge took bowl OF beef
tea with apparent relish and then sat down

chair and he passed away with smile upon
his face showing that the transition from life
to eternity was absolutely painless.

bereavement.
Judge Smell was about GO years Of age and

College about SIS years ago, and for some years
he engaged in teaching at st. Adams Academy
in Hartford This occupation he left to study
law and being admitted to the bar, settled

The Washington Scene
BY LAWRENCE TODD.

VA #AAEA
W most citizens assumed that
they had tried the political impeach-
ment case against Herbert Hoover
in recent months and had given a
decisive verdict on Nov. 8, there
was general expression of surprise
when Representative McFadden.
Pennsylvania Republican, arose in
the House Dec. 13 and read his
resolution of formal impeachment
of Hoover for 'high crimes and
misdemeanors."
McFadden denounced Hoover last
summer, before the first session
closed, and for a time it appeared
that the critic of the Administra-
tion's war debt and Wall Street
policies would be disciplined by the
Old Guard. But when Mr.. Clifford
Pinchot came out for the G. 0. P.
nomination in his district, McFad-
den quickly received the forgive
ness Of the Hoover managers, and
his attacks on the White House
ceased until the November ballot
ing should be over. Since Hoover
has been given the reputation of
a century, McFadden now comes
forward with formal charges that
Hoover has betrayed the financial
interest of the United States to the
debtor nations and to international
bankers who have taken American
private capital abroad for invest
ment.
Coming at the moment when
American capitalism, dismayed at
its own collapse, is Tightening the
coils of worldwide economic mis-
cry by sharp i%nsistence upon pay
ment or default of these war debts,
the McFadden gesture will have
the strange effect of making Hoo
yer appear less stupid and reaction
airy than he is, while rendering
still more unlikely the collection of
any future payment to the United
States by its European debtors.
But it is not merely a fastening
of new steps in national economic
disaster that McFadden's charges
have ushered in; he has opened the
door to freer discussion Of the next
great crisis-the crisis in non-pay-
ment of farm debts throughout the
United States. Every member of
the House and Senate has been
talking about this fearful danger,
with more or less bated breath,
since his return from the cam-

FROID MAN shot BY
MYSTERY BULLET

Eric Jensen, a farmer living
south of FToi, was shot in the
arm a few days ago Is he was
walking down the street in Froid.
The source of the bullet was a
mystery, as Mr.. Jensen heard no
report. He felt the sting of the
bullet and put his hand under his
coat. His arm was wet with blood
and he could feel the hole. DR..
Darland gave first aid treatment
and Mr.. Jensen was brought to
Wolf Point where an X-ray was
taken and the bullet removed by
DR.. Cloud. Mr.. Jensen is getting
along we'll according to reports as
the wound was only a flesh wound.
Sheriff Henry Lowe went to
Froid this week to investigate
the occurance and says that the
shot was accidental and was
probably fired by some boys who
were out hunting a little distance
from the town.
