WASHINGTON CURRENT
COMMENT

The turning over Of air mail
transportation to the army. fol
lowed by the suspension of air
mail service by the new agency,
produced some bitterness and
heartaches on both sides. The
commercial carriers naturally
took it hard that the industry
was wiped out at one sweep, and
the army chafed under the impli
cation that they were not up to
the JOB. Possibly all concerned
are too deeply aggrieved. II
there were dishonest commercial
carriers, they will be uncovered.
The innocent will emerge without
stain and will be garbed with in
creased public confidence. Upon
the other hand, it is not just to
assume that army hiers and
army equipment can be prepar
ed in the twinkling of an eye for
3 new aud highly specialized SER
vice. The deaths among army
fiers are to be deplored, but
they indicate that, ready or not,
the military forces of the United
States eau be relied upon not to
shrink from untried or unknown
dangers.

that more and modern street cars
replace the antiquated ones now in

The Georgia avenue line, 1t was sug-

Seventh street.
Installation Of tratiic lights at Geor-

SCOTSMAN LOSES
CITIZENSHIP PLEA
Court Upholds Action Denying
Him Papers on Grounds He Had
Committed Perjury.

The District Court Of Appeals yes
terday declined to assist a Scotsman
in his endeavors to become a citizen
of the United States, and upheld the
action Of the commissioner general of
immigration, which had refused him
a certificate of entry on the ground
the applicant had committed perjury
several times.
Henry Dodd Linklater, the petitioner,
said he entered the United States from
British Columbia in Seattle July 4,
1907, and that there was no record OF
his entry, without which he cannot
complete the process of becoming q
citizen. The commissioner general
charged Linklater with swearing vari-
ously that he had entered at New York
by the U. S. S. Celtic on July S. 1907;
that he was born in Toledo and that
he was born in New York.
In a habeas corpus proceeding. in
New York the District Court there
held that he had lawfully entered at
Seattle in 1907.
The opinion, written by Associate
Justice William HitZ, said 1.-THE Pc
titioner justif1es his perjuries and false
statements by saying they were made
in support of applications for natu-
rahzation or appointment to office,
and, therefore, like the Scotch lassie's
small baby, the dereliction is de

on Car Routing.

Street car transportation, better

welfare matters were featured at the
meeting Of the Takoma Park Citizens
Association last night.
The, association reiterated its pre-
vious stand regarding the street rail-
way situation for the Takoma Park
area in a report presented by Chester
c. Waters, chairman Of the Public
Utilities Committee, favoring retention
Of the present trackage and the dou-
ble-tracking of Kennedy street from
Third street to Georgia avenue and
installation of curve at Georgia
avenue and Kennedy street to permit
a portion of the cars to operate over
the Georgia avenue line to the CEN
trail part of the city.
The matter Of better protection Of
pedestrians was also discussed and
the dangerous condition at Georgia
avenue and Piney Branch road re-
suited in request for a trafic light
at this point. e....
DR.. Guy Clinton, chairman of the
Police and Fire Committee, presented
a resolution favoring the restriction
of parking on the principal thorough
fares at such time as is found neces-
sary by District officials for removal
of snow.
DR.. Guy Clinton, chairman of the
Laws and Legislation Committee, re-
ported on the milk situation, pointing
out the large profits of corporations,
which he said in some instances
reached over 80 per cent. Although the
N. r. A. resulted in increased cost Of
production, he said, he predicted that
the present rates would prevail.
The association had as its guest
speaker Paul Kirby, assistant director
of public welfare, who outlined the
history and activities Of the Public
Welfare Board of the District. He
explained the methods of administer
ing welfare and said in his opinion
the work was being done in a salts
factory manner. The care of tuber-
culosis cases was also described. along
with the treatment of juveniles and
the caring for children in private
homes.
