jury was refuted. He is now subject
to penalty. not for his misstatement.
but for making any statement at all.
As a member Of the grand jury he
was sworn not to disclose the testi-
mony given before that body. Under
the law Of the State the disclosure OF
any such testimony is q misdemeanor.
1t is the invariable practice in Ameri-
can judicial procedure to hold grand
jury inquiries in secret, with every pos
sible safeguard against publicity.
Rarely are the records of these bodies
brought forth, and then only to check
against discrepancies of statement on
the part of witnesses who have appeared
before both the grand and the trial
juries. Only the court itself can make
these disclosures. For q member Of
a grand jury to reveal anything which
is said in testimony or argument be-
fore such a body Is to commit con-
tempt Of the court, which may be
severely punished.
This at least imprudent statement
by the grand jury member regarding
DR.. Condon's testimony may have been
due to a queer lapse of memory,
though the language used by the
witness, as now revealed by the court,
was positive in expression Of assurance
Of identification and it would seem
to have been impossible to miSunder-
stand him or to forget the nature Of
his statement. This raises the ques-
ton whether some sinister influence
was exerted to cause the juror to mis-
represent the matter, as well as to
violate his oath Of secrecy. A con-
siderable fund has been raised by
solicitation by the convicted mans
wife and his counsel to meet the
costs Of trial and appeal. If any of
that money has been used to induce
the grand jury member who is now
subject to charges Of contempt and
violation of oath to make his false
statement regarding one of the vital
witnesses for the State in the New
Jersey trial, this matter grows into an
Importance far greater even than the
disposition Of the Hauptmann case
itself.

State acquiescence In Washington's
plans Is that Washington shall step
in and take over the whole kit and
caboodle of State relief. That Is what
Is happening in Georgia, Ohio and
other States.
Why Is 1t not the inevitable result
to be expected in many States where
the burdens Of local taxation are al
ready bearing down, while Federal
dollars, so far, are merely casting be-
fore them an uncertain shadow of
higher taxation? II State relief dol
lars are Immediately represented by
increased local taxation, while Federal
relief dollars are somehow pulled from
q magic hat without benefit Of taxa
ton, which dollars are to be chosen?
And wherein lies the substance Of
threats that the f1ow Of Federal dol
lars will cease If thus and so are not
produced by the State? Has not the
National Government guaranteed that
no one shall starve?
Mr.. Hopkins is to be placed on the
Senate grill for examination into his
methods for allotment Of State quotas.
His testimony may be interesting, but
will it be important? Mr. Hopkins has
striven manfully to maintain the prin-
ciple Of local responsibility in relief.
It Is Q sound principle. Whatever
method he has devised for judging
the abilities Of the States to share
the cost are probably as good as any.
But how strong is the support he may
expect in maintaining the principle
of local contribution?
The wisdom of the National Govern
ment's acceptance Of the relief respon-
sibility is now an academic question
for debate in the abstract. The point
Is that the National Government has
accepted the responsibility, and that
acceptance has been Overwhelmingly
indorsed by the people. viii not the
same forces which led to the assump-
ton Of this responsibility now be di-
rected toward the repudiation of all
local responsibility There is, unfor-
tunately, very little to prevent it. And
Mr.. Hopkins. as sternly as he may
threaten and no matter how acute
becomes the pain in his neck. must

his position in demanding State con-
tributions, on q scale that he sets
himself, as the condition precedent
to his allotment of Federal re-
lief funds. What happens If the State
refuses to meet that scale, or any
scale? Has not the Federal Govern

to be that certain persons shall starve

DR.. Condon's Testimony.

An extraordinary incident has oc-
cured In the course of the efforts to
save Richard Bruno Hauptmann from
the death penalty imposed upon him
for the kidnapping and killing of the
Lindbergh child. While his appeal
from conviction is pending before the
higher judiciary of New Jersey a
member Of the Bronx grand jury
which considered q phase of the case
in 1882 before Hauptmann's arrest
has made public declaration to the
effect that DR.. John r. Condor, one
Of the most important witnesses for
the State in the New Jersey trial,
had given testimony at the trial diff
sering from that which he gave be-
fore the grand jury. This was in
respect to DR.. Condon's ability to
identify the person to whom he hand
ed the ransom money. According to
this Jury member DR.. Condor had said
that he could not identify the man,
whereas at the trial in New Jersey he
positively identified Hauptmann as the
receiver of the money.
Yesterday justice Of the New York
Supreme Court made public the record
Of the grand jury testimony, a most
unusual procedure, and thus disclosed
that DR.. Condor had positively stated
in his testimony before that body that
he could identify the man If he should
ever see him again. Thus the ale

construction be considered necessary,
then provision can be made for it
later. Should the principle Of limita-
ton Of armaments be revived and ap-
proved by the contemplated interna-
tional conference, then all new build
ing could be deferred"
Perhaps some Senators believe
that this country should lead the world
armament race, because the race is on,
with other countries building the
greatest war machineries that have
ever been built" asserts the Tulsa
Tribune. "The old fallacy that to be
prepared for war is the best way to
preserve peace Is still accepted as an
unfailing truth by many, in spite OF
the historical evidence that when two
nations start arming against each
other they usually end up at war. But
before the bill comes to a vote in the
Senate and our Government definitely
steps to the fore as the leader in the
world armament race, those who be-
iieve otherwise may at least be given
hearing"
The Providence Journal, however,
disagrees decidedly. Says this paper:
There is little likelihood that any ma
ton would ever attack us as long as
we possess a Navy second to none.
Inasmuch as we have no purposes Of
aggression anywhere, a full strength
treaty Navy is the best guarantee Of
permanent peace that this country
can provide by its own independent
action" To the Charleston IS. c.
Evening Post "a Navy second to
none" is a necessity regardless of cost,
but the Saratoga Springs IN. "
Saratogian, looking over a few appro-
priations, remarks: This means huge
unproductive expenditure to be shoul-
dered by overburdened taxpayers.
And the demand is on arcompetitive
basis. AS one nation increases its
defense outlay others feel the need Of
meeting it. When a system Of inter-
national relations, but little better than
that governing the contacts of savage
tribes. holds over into an age of ex-
tensive application of science, the net
result is the terrific muddle in which
the world now finds itself"

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Over the telephone Templeton Jones
Is the unqualified man.
Most persons identify themselves.
when telling their name to another,
especially q stranger.
Not so Jones.
This is Templeton JONES'" he de-
clares.
''Who?"
"Templeton Jones'"
IT didn't catch the name"
"Templeton Jones'"
No more, no less, says the astute
T. Jones, ESQ.
He may know quite well that the
man on the other end hasn't the
slightest idea who he is, but that
makes no difference to him.
Not for worlds, evidently, will he
qualify himself.
Lesser men compromise with the
identity of the ego, but not Jones.
They are Smith of So-and-So,
Brown Of Thus-and- Thus.
Nor by 30 qualifying themselve do
they think any the less Of them
selves, or In any way attempt to do
other than make themselves plain to
the listener.
Templeton Jones, however, has q
different technique.
The biggest man in the world might
ask him who he Is. He would reply In
just two words:
Templeton Jones.
When one stops to think about II,
it is enough, isn't 1t?
In every human being, especially
every human using a telephone, there
is a clearly defined wish to have
recognition greet his name.
Secretly every one hopes that the
person on the other end will respond
brightly. "Oh, yes. Mr.. Browni"
This glow Of recognition is not al
ways admitted, but 1t exists, Just the
same.
1t is the same in the dowager who
phrases her name in lofty tones, as If
to bulldoze the listener into under
standing it.
1t is the same in the youngster just
stepping into his first business shoes,
the Office boy putting on the tone of
the president of the firm.
1t Is the same in the thousand and
one humans. whoever of wherever
they are. who secretly hope that Their
name Is SO well known that every one
will know it.
y = y
Jones forces this recognition.
Often we have longed to ask him
whether there Is any real personal
| satisfaction in 1t, after all, but proba-
bly, all he would reply would be
"Templeton Jones'"
He Is that way.
We can imagine the cop on the
beat asking him, who are you?"
Jutting jaw, beetled brow, and that
sort of thing.
Behold the complacency Of Jones
as he replies, I am Templeton
Jones'"
"Who?"
The question is sharp, in the best
manner of operatives.
Jones is not moved to reply other
than before. "Templeton Jones"
who is Templeton Jones?"
At this point, we think, ne must
qualify the great Jones.
But we do not know him.

"Templeton Jones'"
Then he looks at the ofiicer with an
expression which says, more plainly
than words, why, surely you cannot
be so dumb as not to know me?"
The officer willis.
"Templeton JONES'" he writes down
on the ticket.
Jones has won again.

It takes q lot of bluff, or whatever
you want to call 1t, for him to get by
with 1t at times.
Often he talks to some one who, for
one reason or other, does not know
him at all, has no reason for knowing
him. has never even heard his name.
Still Jones remains the unqualified
man.
This is Templeton JONES'" he says,
eyes, Templeton Jones. No, Jones. not
Smith, Templeton Jones. Yes, that's
right, Templeton Jones"
No more.
The name is enough.
Jones believes that a name ought to
be enough for anybody.
The integrity of name!
Every name ought to stand for some
thing. If for no more than that name
But how many hedge it round with
descriptions. In the nature Of the days

The beauty of the Jonesian scheme
is that Jones doesn't care a whoop

either know, or find out.

Thus any one. perhaps, II persistent
enough, could force the world to &C.

Few men are as bull-neaoeo u
Jones, however.
He knows, of course, that some Of
the people he calls on the phone dc
not know him from the famous Adam
They have a right to expect him te
introduce himself, as 1t were.
Jones does not recognize the right
or, rather, the necessity for 1t.
He expects that the course OF the
ensuing conversation will, or at leas'
ought to, make everything plain.
Hence his unvarying practice, II
intrGucing himself over the wire, is

When the nearer plainly asks fol

There Is something magnanimous ir

It smacks of those ancient king
who felt that the first name, alone
was enough.
There might be tens Of Thousands

The administrations naval expan-
sion program meets with the approval
Of the press as a whole. Editors point
out that the United States Navy has
remained well below treaty strength
while other nations have maintained
fleets up to the limit permitted by the
Washington Naval Conference.
when it is said that this naval
appropriation bill carries the largest
sum in is years" the Long Beach
Press Telegram points out, "it should
be remembered that for IS years
the United States has been 'treading
water under the Washington naval
disarmament treaty, hoping that
other nations also would slow down
their bodybuilding programs. Other
nations, however. proceeded to con-
struct more fighting ships and to
reach and maintain the standing OF
their fleets as authorized in the Wash
ington agreement. America now is
merely catching up with its associates
in the maritime world" A similar
point is MADE by the Newport News
Daily Press which declares: Com
pietion of all the ships now under con-
struction and those authorized in the
bill will not bring the American Navy
up to treaty strength. Hence, for
eign nations, all of which have been
building warships while we were allow
ing ours to become obsolete, have no
cause for complaint"
while the total appropriation Is
high" the San Francisco Chronicle
remarks, "the committee cut in half
the budgeted amount for beginning
construction on "a new ships, and even
suggests the desirability Of holding up
all work on new ships pending the
Naval Conference expected to be held
| this year.
According to the Manchester IN. h
Union, the argument In defense OF
this action Is that there Is stu q
theoretical chance that naval ols-
armament conference will be held and
that it will produce a new formula OF
naval limitation. If the conference
does not meet or fails in its efforts, It
is said. work can be begun later under
. special appropriation" This paper
continues: "But this overlooks the
fact that we will go into the confer
ence II it is called, with our Navy far
below treaty strength and no provi-
sion to make up the lack. while the
.Japanese Navy is up to treaty strength
| and Great Britain has announced her
intention to strengthen her naval de-
lenses"
"And why. above ALL" asks the New
York Herald Tribune. ignore the
overwhelming indications that even II
a conference should be called before
the end of 1895 there is no chance Of
achieving naval limitation for the SIM
Die reason that neither Japan nor
Great Britain wish it-especially at
as low ratios as we're established at
Washington? The dictates Of ma
tional interest are clear-to recognize
the unwillingness Of the other nations
TO continue the Washington treaty
limiting navies and to build up our
own Navy at least to the limits which
It would have attained under the
treaty had we built as did the other
nations"
