THE QUEUE FOR IT'S OWN
SAKE

(Christian Science Monitor)
A well-known London theater
has decided that, for it's next pro-
duction, a certain number OF seats
will be unbookable. Instead, they
will be left to be queued up for.
Enthusiasts of the queue will justly
hail this as a triumph Tor thar
historic institution. especially since
there will be no reduction In prices.
Sometime ago various theatrical
managers decided to reserve seats
In the pit and gallery without In
creasing their charges, but the
policy has not been an unqualified
success. Many protests against u

CHIEF JUDGE POUND.
(New York Times)

(New York Tlmes)
Governor Roosevelt's designation
OF Judge Pound to take the place
Of Judge Cardozo at the head OF
the Court Of Appeals met with uni
versal approval and even acclaim.
The promotion was clearly indi-
Gated and merited. During his SER
vice on the bench Judge Pound
has commended himself alike to
lawyers and laymen by sound
learning, unremitting IN u stry,
firm judgment and a humane out
look. He should be, and doubt
less will be, nominated by both
political parties for election next
November, 30 that as Chief Judge
Of the Court OF Appeals he may
round out an honorable judicial
career. It Is safe to say that UNI
der his direction, and with the aid
and indispensable cooperation OF
his fellow-judges, the Court OF
Appeals of New York will continue
to rank first among the highest
judicial tribunals of our states.

Washington.--Hair cuts, blue
laws and religion are mixed up
In the struggle to close local bar
Der shops on Sunday, a struggle
that continues furiously despite the
fact that congress thus far has
been largely engaged on matters OF
seemingly greater import.
Most washington BARRIERS do not
work on Sunday and most shops
here are closed on that day. But
such historic issues as religious
liberty. the rights of labor, unem-
ployment, laissez faire and public
health have been invoked to pro-
mote or defeat the Stalker bill
which would let BARRIERS have the
Sabbath off.
Petitions have poured In from
BARRIERS who urge the measure and
citizens over the country who OPP
pose Sunday closing laws OF all
kinds.
Union Backs Measures
The unionized BARRIERS of the
town, who work only six days a
week anyway, are the prime push
ers of the Stalker bill. Some bar
Der shop proprietors have insisted
on staying open Sundays to get the
Sunday business and others have
had to follow along In order to
meet the competition.
Sunday barbering isn't necessary,
according TO the bills proponents,
one reason being that 9S per cent
of men now shave themselves. Bar
bering Is rather u hazardous occu-
patton, many of It's practitioners
succumbing to lung diseases. and
1t IL essential that every barber
have one full day off In seven.
Sunday Is a very slow day, any
way, and such competition IL
wasteful, they claim. More BARRIERS
are out Of work than ever before
and the six-day week would put
some of them to work because bar
Der shops now open Sundays would
have to do seven days of hair cuts
and shaves In six.
Those are the arguments of the
BARRIERS.
But such contentious run bang
up against the anti-blue law bat
talions and also the Jews and
Seventh Day Adventists. who OBJ
serve their Sabbath not on Sunday
but on Saturday. The. Washington
Board Of Trade has been opposed,
too.
The evidence shows that there
are now no BARRIERS In Washington
who are Seventh Day Adventists,
but q prominent Adventist who
represented his sect at hearing
on the Stalker bill said they would
come into the city after awhile"
And although no Jewish BARRIERS
protested, there were local rabbis
to demand that Sunday be desig-
mated as no mans day of rest any
more than any other day, About
100000 persons, they contended,
observed the Sabbath on Saturday.
Hotels Protest
The Board of Trade insists: mo
where in the Bible,is Sunday men
toned" and that there Is mo rea-
son people can't do on Sunday

(HarJ1OrQ COuFdntl
The letter that Governor Cross
has sent to the heads of all de-
partments of the state calling upon
them to exercise the strictest econ-

eye is being kept upon the finances
of Connecticut. The state Is
threatened with no deficit In the
current fiscal year. but its expen-
ditures are large, and the income
under existing conditions is more
difficult to estimate than in norman
times. The word of caution ut
tered by the governor consequently
is timely and the heads of the de-
partments will commend them
selves to the taxpayers II they heed
it.
Where money can be saved is not
for the layman to decide and the
responsibility for reducing expendi-

officials of the state. In general

RULE NEGROES
MUST DIE FOR
GIRL ATTACKS
High Court UphoIds Death
Verdict in Freight
Car Crime.

Bg United Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala, March "a.
The Alabama supreme court to-
day upheld seven Of eight convic-
tons in the Scottsboro assault case.
resulting from an alleged attack by
Negro youths on two white girls.
The Negroes had been sentenced to
death after trial under protection
of national guardsmen. Attorneys
retained by the International Labor
Defense appealed the convictions TO
the state supreme court.
The supreme court set May 13. a
Friday, as the execution date.
Charges against the Negroes grew
out Of an episode on a freight train
near Scottsboro, Ala, last March.
Testimony at the trial was that
Ruby Bates and Victoria Price,
white girls, "hoboing" from Chat
tanooga TO Huntsville, Ala, we're in
freight car with seven white
youths when ten or twelve Negroes
jumped aboard.
Fists started TO fly. The white
youths were thrown from the train,
one by one. According to the testi-
mony OF the girls, the Negroes then
attacked them.
Nine Negroes were arrested soon
after the freight car incident
by a posse which met the
train at Paintsville, Ala. When the
prisoners we're thrust into the
Scottsboro Jail, mob formed
~muttering about lynching. National
guardsmen were summoned. The
Negroes were bundled out into auto
mobiles and taken to Gadsden, Ala,
for safe keeping.
Their trial was held at Scots
boro, in the small court house pro-
tected by guardsmen with machine
guns and bayonets, who kept
crowds estimated at 10000 to 10000
in order.
The trials were speedy. Eight of
the defendants we're sentenced to
death.
The ninth, only Ia, obtained a
mistrial on technical grounds. He
will be retired at the spring term
of court.
