Besides Casey, the only coach. re- tained from last years staff was Wesley Fesler, former all-America end for Ohio State. Fesler served as assistant backfeld coach, but next season will have charge of the ends. Walsh, who for the last five years was line-coach at Yale, and before that head coach at Santa Clara University, was selected to coach the line.
 Good Man
 Lane will assist Casey with the backfield. He was a backfield star at Dartmouth from 1925 to 1927, and later head coach at Boston University. He is member of the Boston Bruins National League hockey team.
 The new staff will be available for spring football practice which is scheduled to start March 19.
 Both Casey and William J. Bing. ham, director of athletics at Har- yard, expressed their satisfaction that the athletics committee had approved the varsity coach's rec- concentrations.

Just Jokes.

Undersecretary of Agriculture Rex
ford G. Tugwell went secretly aboard
ship, bound for foreign parts, in order
to avoid service of court summons,
according to dispatches from Hyde
Park. The evasion of Mr.. Tugwell, it
was also reported, brought a roar OF
laughter from the President. The idea
that a high official of the United
States Government should seek to
avoid process server is, indeed, funny.
It is all the more funny when it is
understood that the service of the
summons has to do with the enforce
ment of a law under the department
of government of which Mr.. Tugwell is
an official. Surely Senator Hastings
of Delaware, co-chairman Of the
Republican Senatorial Congressional
Committee, must have mislaid his
sense of humor. For the Senator has
issued a statement in which he criti-
cized Mr.. Tugwell for boarding a
liner incognito to avoid a process
server seeking to hale him into court
to answer a suit brought to test the
constitutionality Of the Tugwell-
Wallace sugar quota policy" Not only
does Mr.. Hastings speak severely of
the process-eluding Tugwell, but he
also speaks unkindly of the Chief
Executive, who has been amused by
the antics of his Undersecretary of
Agriculture. Tush, tush. Senator;
can't you understand a joke?
Mr.. Hastings seems to be laboring
under the misapprehension that Mr..
Tugwell, one of the New Deal leaders,
is seeking to avoid test of the son
stitutionality of one of the admins
tration laws. He intimates that the

PEACE OF MIND
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, DID, LID, DEL
Bishop of Washington.

with a sense of security born of free
dom from the harasstng cares of
anxieties that the less fortunate exper-
ience. Our observation does not con-
firm this. As matter of fact, that
which Jesus sought to give to men is
unaffected by material gifts and bless
ings. His own life is in demonstra-
ton of this. He pursued the ways of
poverty and loneliness. He was called
"a man of sorrows and acquainted with
grief" but He moved along His way
with such supreme confidence in His
mission. such freedom from concern,
such utter peace Of mind, that His
bitterest enemies were confused and
put to shame by His kingly bearing.
We have certainly been learning in
these more recent years that material
things and environing conditions do
not guarantee either security or peace
of mind. Our opulence and our pros
perity contributed little to our serenity
or assured to us sense of content
ment and continuing peace. Perhaps
some are learning, as they have never
learned before. that the secret of a
quiet mind is not to be found in the
fictitious values men have put upon
material things, that there are surer
ways of attaining real happiness than
pursuing the course of self-indulgence
and self-ease. The people who COM
plain most in this trying period are
those who cannot be happy without
their dearly bought playthings, their
luxuries and their highly -prized free
dom of action. There is many home
in this land that has felt the pinch of
poverty that is richer in the things
that endure, the things that are most
worth while, that contribute to the
peace and security of society in gen.
eral, than can be found in the homes
of those who have complained bitterly
over the small privations they have
experienced, along with the curtail-
ment of their useless luxuries.
Peace of mind we all seek, the ca
pacity to ride out storms and to be
calm when caught in "the fell clutch
of circumstance" No one other than
the MatSer has shown us the way
His way may be one that calls for self
discipline, self-control and a habit of
life that is out of consonance with
this jazz-intoxicated, noisy, distract
ed world, but it certainly brings in its
train peace, assurance and the sense
of security.

pressed in the paper the dificulty Of

Perhaps the crowning bit of de-
lection in this particular case is rep
resented by the following: In the

The official description says: In the

also neglected to punctuate the ini-

retary."
Small Chance Of Success.
w. o. Woods, who was Treasurer Of
the United States, writes q small, del
icate signature. Andrew w. Mellon,
who was Secretary of the Treasury,
writes an even smaller, more delicate
signature. AS these officials signed
any paper, their signatures were
small. When reduced on the face
of currency, they are even smaller.
The lines are like spiderweb strands.
The dots which punctuate initials and
titles are so tiny as to be scarcely more
than microscopic. The chance Of the
ordinary observer of these notes notic-
ing the omission probably would not be
more than one In 100000. Yet the
currency sleuths of the Secret Service
found these errors, making them addi-
tional links in the chain to tighten
about the counterfeiters.
Detective yarns which tell Of discov-
cry Of clues through bits of human
hair or fingernail parings seem trifie
gross when compared with a discov-
cry dealing with dot not nearly as
large as a ayspeck. And, moreover,
discovering not its presence, mind you,
but its absence. But to the Secret
Service expert the place where that
almost microscopic dot should be
glares like a spotlight on the stage.

Concerning it, the Secret Service
says:
In view of the deceptive character
Of this counterfeit, care should be ex-
ercised in handling notes Of this va
riety and denomination.
The detection of such spurious cur
rency Is but a part of the RESPONSE
bilities Of w. H. Moran, veteran chief
OF the Secret Service, and his staff.

fair, square, court test of some of its
Senator could not be correct in such
suggestion, notwithstanding the
fact there has been a certain reluctance
on the part of Government officials to
accept court summonses in the past,
among them Secretary Wallace, also
Of the Department of Agriculture and
Mr.. Tugwell's superior, and Post
! master General Farley, when the air.
mail contracts were Cancelled at his
order. Mr.. Wallace, a mild-mannered
man, is said to have been angry for
a whole day after a process server
had tracked him to a compartment in
sleeping car and thrust a summons
at him. In his just rage, MIR. Wallace
is reported to have declined to be
served.
Mr.. Hastings forgets, apparently,
that Government officials are also
human beings. Process servers have
been unwelcome from time imme-
mortal. Merely because a man has
become a public official is no real
excuse for believing that service Of
a court summons should be more
welcome.
The Republican Senator should
have taken the Tugwell incident more
lightly, instead of talking of the
"seamy side" and suggesting that laws
are fiouted by those high in command.
He might have suggested that the
Government provide new official, a
face litter and fingerprint remover
for Government servants who wish to
avoid a process server. All the world
loves, of course, the man who eludes
a process, and equally all the world
hates a process server.

To give to men a quality of mind
that should make them invincible in
q confused world; to invest them with
philosophy and outlook upon life
that would render them capable OF
resisting and overcoming critical sit
uations; to make them calm and conf
dent in the face of great emergencies,
this was the high purpose of Jesus
ministry. His own unbroken and
undisturbed serenity is strikingly IL
lustrated in the dramatic incident re-
corded in the eighth chapter of st.
Matthews Gospel, the twenty-third to
twenty-seventh verses. He and His
disciples had ventured forth in ship
to cross a lake and during the passage
a violent storm arose that mperiled
their security. In the twenty-fourth
verse we read: "The ship was covered
with the waves; but He was asleep"
His utter unconsciousneSS of impend-
ing danger so alarmed the disciples
that they awoke Him, saying: Lord
save us; we perish" His quiet reply,
rebuke to their fears, is expressive,
not only of His serenity of mind, but
Of power that is supreme: why are
ye fearful, o ye of little faith?" Then
He arose, and rebuked the winds and
the sea; and there was great calm.
The astonished disciples, awed by such
dignity and authority. said among
themselves: What manner of man is
this, that even the winds and the sea
obey HIM"
The whole incident is finely illus
trative of a quality of mind sugges-
tive of serenity and confidence, undis-
turbed by environing circumstances or
the passing incidents of life. Peace of
mind cannot be purchased in the mar
ket places of the world. 1t has no
price, nor is it secured to those whose
circumstances are conducive to ease
and comfort. 1t may be denied to the
rich and be the privileged possession
of the poor. 1t may not be enjoyed
by the intellectual and be the priceless
boon of the untutored and illiterate.
1t is quality of mind that, while
it has no price, it is conditioned by
cultivation and a self-imposed disci-
pline that is costly. Men seek it in va
rious ways. They frequently think it
to be a matter of environing condi-
tions; that it is possessed by those
who lead a privileged and unincum-
bered life; that it is the legitimate
perquisite of the rich; that 1t comes

One of the veteran members OF
Congress who is quitting to accept an
imrA tant Federal post is Representa-
tie Aiming S. Prall of New York,
chairman of the Democratic Patronage
Committee of the House under the
Roosevelt administration. He Is
credited with having engineered
deal through which Tammany got
the lions share of the patronage jobs,
leaving Southern members undis-
turbed in committee chairmanships
and making possible the election OF
the late Representative Henry T
Rainey as Speaker.
Mr.. Prau has served II years con-
secutively, ranks second from the
Craftsmanship of the Banking and
Currency Committee and is one OF
the inner council of party strategists
Last February he was appointed to
the Federal Radio Commission, but
was too busy with important admin
stration measures before the Banking
and Currency Committee-and then
the Radio Commission was abolished
Word has gone forth that he is to
be appointed as one of the new Com
mission on Communications.
Just now Mr.. Prall is in the hos
pital as a result of an automobile
accident on August l, when he and
Senator Wagner were going to Quebec
on a fishing trip. He suffered a
broken leg and foot and other in
juries, but is expected to be discharged
from the hospital soon.
Prall has led a busy though rather
quiet life-as newspaper man. buSi-
ness executive and devotee of golf
and other outdoor sports. He began
his business career with the New York
World and was later with the New
York Recorder. For several years he
was in charge of the mortgage loan
department of the Staten Island Saw
ings Bank and later became vice
president of a large corporation ope-
rating coal mines in Pennsylvania and
other States. He served the City of
New York in an official capacity as
president of the New York City Board
Of Education and as a member of the
Board of Taxes and Assessments
During his entire IL years in Congress
he has been one of the most active
and dependable members of the Bank
ing and Currency Committee. He is
a governor of the Downtown Athletic
Club, a member Of the Foxhills Golf
Club, the New Rochelle Yacht Club,
the Columbia Country Club of WASH

The Law and the Disaster.


of the steamer Vestris, which sank at
sea on the 18th of November, 1928,
with loss of 110 lives, is evoked by a
decision rendered yesterday by a Fed
eral judge in New York quashing a
subpoena served by United States
Attorney Conboy upon the attorneys
for the company owning the steamer
Moro Castle to turn over to him
statements obtained from officers and
crew of the burned liner. The court
held that these statements were not
privileged, being merely private
memoranda" for the use of the counsel
for the corporation. This quite plainly
indicates an intention to resist claims
for damages and losses incident to the
disaster.
In the Vestris case culpable negli-
gence on the part of the agents of the
steamship company in the loading and
handling of the vessel was established
both here and in England, the operat-
ing corporation being a British con-
Germ. Every effort was made by the
company to avoid damage payments,
and it was not until June last, six and
a half years after the disaster, that
some sixty of one thousand claims
were settled. The total amount of
the awarded and settled damages has
never been made public.
In the determination of the liability
of an operating corporation for losses
incident to a disaster the question
turns upon the point of whether the
catastrophe was due to the incompe-
tence of the company's agents, officers
and crew, as well as to the inadequacy
of physical provisions against fire or
wreck. The Federal inquiry now in
progress into the MORO Castle disas-
ter is for the purpose of developing
all the facts promptly, while the testi-
mony of survivors, both passengers
and ships company. is available for
examination. Any attempt at conceal
ment or the segregation Of possible
witnesses on the part of the steam
ship corporation is suggestive Of an
effort to prevent such full disclosure
of truth as the interest of justice
requires. -..- ..-
1t, may be said that the statements
made by members of the ships COM
pany to representatives of the corpo-
ration do not differ at all from those
made in public at the official inquiry.
Unless there is such a difference there
is no occasion for concealing them.
If there is difference the corporation
is placed in the position of seeking the
concealment of facts material to the
determination of the question Of re-
sponsibility.
Within two hours more than one
hundred lives were destroyed on the
Moro Castle. Within two weeks, if
no hindrance is placed upon the pro-
ceedings of inquiry, the full facts may
be disclosed as far as the conditions
permit. Within six months every
claim for damages should be met in
full. But unhappily such is the course
of the law and such the resistance of
corporations faced with liabilities that
several years may pass before, as in the
case of the Vestris, righteous claims
are satisfied. No legal proceedings can
ever restore the lives so needlessly sac
rifced on the MORO Castle, and no
damages can ever compensate the sur
vivors for their sufferings or the rela-
tives of the dead for their losses. But
the law should aid and not retard the
procedure.
