Of witnesses in each of those fields.
But 1t would seem to be impossible to
refute the microscope and a scientific
knowledge Of the origins Of lumber
trees, which have their climatic and
regional limitations of areas, or the
betrayal through the microscope of
the slight but discernible vagrancies
of machines, which, according to the
law of chances, can not conceivably
be duplicated. Just as it is now def
nitely accepted that there Is an in
variable individuality in human fin
gerprints, it is maintained that there
is a definite individuality in wood f1b-
ers plus the marks of machining. And
that widens the scope of legal research
greatly.
The ladder offered in evidence at
Flemington may not have been fab
ricated by Hauptmann and may not
have been taken by him to the Lind
bergh house. But it is now well estab-
lished that it was made of materials
to which he had easy access, and, fur
thermore, that it contained fragment
of wood taken from the fabric of his
own dwelling in the Bronx, whether

Thus does science contribute to the

the limitless spaces Of the cosmos but

The "Last Word" -"

at is my understanding that Mr..
Ickes is out of it," Speaker Byrns
told the newspaper men yesterday
before the debate started on the
work-relief bill gag rule. And there
have been understandings conveyed
to those Democrats who have their
claws out for Mr.. Ickes that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would personally head
the new relief organization, whatever
its name or its shape, and that
neither Mr.. Ickes nor any lesser
official would have the last word" Of
ALLEGATIONS. The last word" will be
reserved for the President.
That is apparently enough to COM
fort those who are set on getting Mr..
Ickes out. But what does it all
amount to? The President, unless he
has become dissatisfied with the work
of one of the strongest figures in his
cabinet. will make Mr.. Ickes the
real administrator of the new relief
fund, or of great part of it. He
will. of course, reserve to himself the
last word" He has always had the
last word, and as long as he is in
the White House he will continue to
have it.
Whether the Public Works Admin
istration, as 1t is known today, will
continue is another matter A COM
mittee amendment will propose to
strike out the section of the bill giving
the President power to extend the life
of any agency. including the P. w. A.
But if the P. w. A. is killed something
under another name must be set up
to take its place. Are the Democrats
in Congress seriously considering the
elimination Of the organization Mr.
Ickes has been so carefully develop
ing and training in the intricate bust
ness of how to spend billions of dol
lars? That is hard to believe. And
no matter what the amendments to
the bill, when the end Of the fiscal
year is reached the P. W. A. will un-
doubtedly be alive. and Mr. Ickes will
still be on top Of the P. w. A. The
President, Of course, will be on top
of Mr.. Ickes.

Science and Justice.

However the testimony OF the lumber
expert who appeared yesterday at the
Hauptmann trial may affect the case
against the man accused Of the Lind
bergh baby kidnapping and killing, 1t
was an extraordinary demonstration OF
the refinement of research in matters
which have not heretofore been gen.
orally understood to lie within the
SCOPE of scientific study. This witness
told of the pursuit, covering eighteen
months. of the source of the lumber
used in the making of the ladder
which has been offered in evidence by
the State as one that was found near
the scene of the crime and which was
supposedly used to permit access to
the sleeping room of the stolen child.
To the uninitiated the task Of tracing
bit of wood to the place of its mill
ing would seem to be impossible. Yet,
according to the witness examined
yesterday, it was done.
There are some forty thousand mills
in this country where lumber is
planed for use. All of them but one
had to be eliminated. First of all it
was determined, by an examination of
the quality and grain of the wood, that
it was grown in North Carolina. Pre-
sumably it had been milled there.
That eliminated most Of the mills In
the list of "possibles." Next by a
minute microscopic study of the minute
marks of the planer certain eccen-
tricities were noted, indicating slight
misadjustments Of the blades of the
planning machine through which the
material had been passed. It was de-
terlnined by these marks that the
machine had an eight-bladed tool for
one phase Of the work and a six
bladed tool for another, each of them
minutely inaccurate. That made it
possible to determine the very mill in
which the lumber was prepared and
from which it was shipped to the yard
in the Bronx where Hauptmann worked
and from which, it is alleged, he
obtained it.
Science Is wholly diSpaSsionate and
impartial. In the research upon which
the testimony given yesterday was
based there was no margin Of opinion,
such as appears in other lines Of So
called expert testimony. The hand
writing expert may be mistaken, and
the insanity" expert likewise. There
may be two diametxicallx opposed sets

John Barton Payne.

The Red Cross has attracted to
the service of suffering humanity
many notable and eminent indi-
vidualS, but none among them all
has been entitled to more grateful
remembrance than John Barton
Payne, chairman Of the American
branch of the worldwide organization
from 1921 until his death early today.
Some twenty foreign governments had
paid tribute to his leadership, and
four Presidents had expressed to him
the confidence Of the people OF the
United States, but his monument is
the unprecedented record of progress
which the work itself experienced
under his management.
Born on a West Virginia farm. one
of the ten children of an impecunious
country doctor, Judge Payne was the
architect of his own career. His edu-
cational advantages were as inconse-
quential as those of Abraham Lin
coin, but, like the Emancipator, he
made the most of them. Laboring as
a sawmin hand, he qualified himself
by independent study for admission
to the bar and by the time he was
thirty-four years of age attained the
presidency of the Chicago Law Insti-
tute. Election to the Superior Court
of Cook County forecast participation
in national affairs and the World War
gave him opportunity to manifest
his gift as an arbiter of labor dis
putes and other troubles incident to
participation in the European struggle.
He was successfully general counsel OF
the Shipping Board and Of the Rail-
road Administration, then Secretary
of the Interior in President Wilson's
cabinet and director general Of rail-
roads.
But the Red Cross claimed his
talents at the apex Of their develop
ment. AS chairman Of the board OF
governors of the League of Red Cross
Societies, Paris, he influenced the poll
cies of relief activity in fifty-eight diff
ferent nations and welded power Of
imperial proportions. The task de-
manded genius and Judge Payne was
equal to its most rigorous require
ments.
His private life was centered in his
home, his library, his love of art and
a long list of personal charities. The
State Of Virginia, the Virginia Museum
of Fine Arts, the University Of Vir-
ginia, Randolph-Macon and William
and Mary College received gifts from
his purse, and in washington he was
responsible for the restoration OF st.
Johns Church, the Church of the
Presidents" The Red Cross, however,
was the philanthropy Of his especial
choice. To it he gave himself freely
and without reservation. His objec-
tive was the grandest of which the
mind can conceive-the alleviation Of
human sorrow, the correction Of hu-
man disability. And his reward will
be the inscription of his name on a
roll of honor which never will fade.
