MORE AND BETTER JUDGES

A THOUGH federal dockets are less con-
- gested, due largely to the drop OF 5o,-
900 in the number OF prohibition law prose-
cutions last year. the actual work Of the
courts will not be reduced appreciably in the
near future.
This is made clear in the report Of the
judicial conference. at which the senior cir
cult judges. presided over by Chief Justice
Hughes. recommended the creation of four
additional judgeships. In the Southern Dis
trict of New York and the Southern District
of California crowded dockets cause delays Of
from seventeen to thirty-three months in
reaching trials.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
TERMS EXPLAINED

BY Franklin Dickey.
Under the heading Mind in Re-
lation to Medicine" a recent con-
tributor to The Message Center
stated:
Mrs. Eddy defined mind as spirit,
soul, principle, substance, life, truth,
love-; using the common noun in
each instance, adding the comment
that Mrs. Eddy's definition lis as
bewildering as Mr.. Webster's defini-
tion," and quoting the latter as fol-
lows:
Mind is the intellectual or ra-
tional faculty Of man; consciousness;
soul; memory; intention; opinion"
Since this contributor, uninten-
tionally no doubt, failed to state
Mrs. Eddy's definition of this word
accurately, it seems proper that a
correction of the error be made.
On page 225 Of THE First Church
of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany"
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer
and Founder of Christian Science,
states:
Christian Science is not under
stood by the writer or the reader
who does not comprehend where
capital letters should be used in
writing about Christian Science"
On page 469 of Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
the textbook of Christian Science, in
answer to the question What is
Mind?" Mrs. Eddy says: Mind is
God" And again on page 465 of
this textbook, in answer to Ahe ques-
ton What is God?" she says:
God is incorporeal, divine, SUI
preme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul,
Principle, Life, Truth, Love-" using
the proper noun in each instance.
1t is not in accord with the teach
ingS of Christian Science to use, in
the deif1c sense, any of these seven
synonyms for God as a common
noun or in the plural number. No
where does Mrs. Eddy define mind
as spirit, soul, principle, life, truth,
love, using these words as common
nouns.

LIQUOR DEALING STILL
HALF ILLEGAL
By a Times Reader

By Times Reader.
The convention of the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association
heard one of the leaders urge the
industry ito commit itself to the
wise policy of sponsoring, preach
ing and practicing that liquor be
consumed in moderation"
This speaker also brought out in
his address, that bootleggers still
control about so per cent of the
market for liquor.
Since the repeal, advocates made
so much noise about balancing the
budget with liquor taxes, either the
recognized dispensers Of LIQUOR

POLICE DESK TO DECIDE AND NOT
 THE POLICEMEN
Judge Mascolo Advised Officers on the Desk to
 Be Authority

Desk officers at police headquar- ters should use their own judgment in booking prisoners, especially in instances where the charge of drunken driving is involved. This was the opinion expressed today by Judge Edward Mascolo and appar- entity climaxes a long series of cases in which police officers have held conflicting views as to a pris- oner's condition. His honor believes that persons would be spared the embarrassment of arrest with at- tending publicity if desk officer should make it a point to convince himself as to an accused's condi- tion.
 The statement was evoked this morning in the case of Walter Cleveland, 21, of Park street, Ply mouth, who was arrested three weeks ago by Patrolman John De- Nardo and charged with operating an automobile while allegedly un- der the influence of liquor. Cleve- land was taken into custody fol- lowing a minor accident.
 After several continuances the case was tried today. Officer De- Nardo failed to appear. sergeant Joseph Bagley, who booked the young man on the night of his ar rest, was called as the states prln- cipal witness. He testified that the accused admitted having four or five glasses of beer shortly before his arrest. While the accused Hooked" peculiar Sergeant Bagley stated very frankly that he would mt consider him under the 1nhu- ence of liquor. As charges had been

 The three firemen killed were buried under tons of bricks and embers. Those injured were struck by falling debris. Thousands of spectators blocked all streets. Fire lines which held the crowd back undoubtedly saved many lives.

COONEY IS AFTER THE
 CENSUS JOB
Said to Be Leading in the Race For Local
 Position
SOME OTHERS IN
 THE LIMELIGHT
Daniel J. Bowes May Get Position According to
 Late Word

Former Alderman Andrew J. Cooney, the candidate for mayor on the republican ticket in the last city election, was reported today as leading the race for the post of assist ant supervisor of the local .CWA census staff. Others mentioned for the job are Edward Kirby, we'll known local veteran, and Frank Varanelli, who was the can- didate for city clerk on the g. o. p. ticket in the last election.
 There are 15 persons on the local census staff of the CWA. Since the staff was picked a week ago by Supervisor Alfred Toscano of New Haven, a quiet campaign for the post of assistant supervisor for the Waterbury district has beensgoing on. In view of the fact that experience is demanded in the person who is named assistant su- pervisor, many today felt that MT Cooney had a leading chance in view of the fact that he directed the taking of the 1890 federal cen- sus in the entire fifth congress sional district.
 The armory was visited by many today seeking jobs under the ad- ditional 200 places added to the Waterbury CWA quota. However, Administrator Willitm M. Harris and Director Arthur Maloney are proceeding slowly in order to plck out the neediest cases among those applying for work.
 Today the men working at the mutual aid store were relieved or their duties there and shifted to regular laboring work under the CWA. The girls working at the

 KIDNAP FAMILY
Man Boasts He Kille d Sheriff WhO Has Been
 Long Missing

Berwick, Me, Jan 11-UP)- Authorities were inclined to-day te blame "crank" for kidnap threats from a man who boasted that he killed Deputy Sheriff Harold c. Hillman of Island Falls.
 Hillman left home in December. 1914, and never was seen there- after. Now. Hillman's brother-in- law, County Attorney George D. Varney of York county, has re- vealed that fortnight ago he re- ceived a letter from a man who threatened to kidnap his (Var- ney's) wife and two children.
 Don't trife with me. I killed Sheriff Hillman," the letter read. Varney was instructed to turn over S5,000 to the writer. being told that the abductions would follow if he failed to comply.
 The letter, which had been mailed in a railway mail box, was crudely composed of words clipped from newspapers and magazines.

MATINEE IDOL OF YEARS AGO HAS
 TAKEN HIS LIFE
Earl Simmons Was Noted Stage Character in Old
 Jacques House

Just four words of type-Earl Simmons committed suicide-yet what a store of memories they must bring to Waterbury theater goers of 25 years ago. Earl Simmons dead. It's hard to believe that. Why it was only yesterday that he was captivating the hearts of every wo- man who could possibly attend the popular stock companies that were playing at Jacques theater back in thise halcyon days
 Simmons was one of the most popular stock actor ever to play in this city. He was young. hand some, and popular not merely With the women but also with men. He in stock for some few years after leaving Waterbury, but eventually reached Broadway. Ere quently notice of his success as an actor reached Waterbury. Of recent years little had been heard of him.
 He died Wednesday afternoon at an unfurnished apartment, 1O9 w filth street New York city, as a re- suit of inhaling gas. When his body was discovered the gas tube was still in his mouth. He was 45 years old and separated from his wife, who was his fourth.
 Oddly enough Simmons was to have received $50) for an option on his latest play. He had several to his credit. His latest one, "l Gave Thee Birth, was said to have con tained much more promise than anything he had previously done'

.TAMMANY HALL
 WAS IN SESSION
Saehems Gather to Try and Save the Old
 Organization

New York, Jan. 11-(UP)-The sachems of Tammany gathered to- day for their first meeting since the loss of city control, presumably to devise a strategy against the 1n- creasingly serious efforts to unseat Leader John F. Curry and elimin- ate the ancient organization as a political power.
 Shorn of the vast patronage once controlled through its allies, Tam many now holds only technical command of New York county. This fact alone normally would en- sure Curry of continued domln- ance of Tammany, but the over whelming election defeat has revl- talized the dormant opposition to his leadership, both from within the party and from the Roosevelt administration.
 The president, though Postmas- ter General James A. Farley. who also is state and national democrat ic chairman, has fought Tammany ever since Curry's inflexible opposi- tion to his nomination at the Chi sago convention. Local federal pa tronage has been given pointedly to the Edward J. Flynn democratic organization which broke away from Tammany at that time.
 Roosevelt, Farley, and Governor Lehman, 1t is believed seek the eventual dissolution of Tammany as q political factor and the estap- lishment instead of a New York county democratic committee, di- rcctiy eontrolled by the party. sev- eral vrammany district leaders, "staryed' for federal patronage, are reported to favor this plan.
 The other threat facing Curry comes from Edward Ahearn ana other members of the so-called Al. fred E, Smith or reform" faction of Tammnny. This group is un. derstood to desire tho replaee.:: mont of Curry by a "progresslve" leader and tho creation or moro cordial and profitable relations with tho federal administrations

NAVY SEAPLANES SPEEDING FAST
 TOWARDS GOAL
Expect to Arrive Late This Afternoon After Their
 Long Journey

 The flagship Wright, upon which Admiral w. R. Johnson, comman- der of the air base force, main- tained sleepless vigil, was passed within a short time after McGln- his made his routine report.
 Admiral Johnson was credited with a large part in the present flight as he issued the order under which the navy decided that "planes assigned to Pearl Harbor should be flown there, not dis mantled and sent by ship"
 Some anxiety had been felt momentarily for the 10-P-5 which Jagged behind it's mates around midnight. Fog for time separated the planes. But It. John Perry, Greenville, s. C., piloting the dis tressed plane. notified It. Com. Kneffler McGinnis that he was "following.'
