that the power to stay suits is con-

both of them were too confusing to be
followed by the District Court.
Rules Are Laid Down.
In enunciating its own rule, defin-
ing the circumstances under which a
stay should be granted, the court
said:
q. We find ourselves unable to
assent to the suggestion that before
proceedings in one suit may be stayed
to abide the proceedings in another,
the parties to the two causes must be
shown to be the same and the issues
identical.
q. The power to stay proceedings
is incidental to the power inherent in
every court to control the disposition
of the causes on its docket.
Only in rare circumstances will q
litigant IN one cause be compelled to
stand aside while litigant in an
other settles the rule of law that will
define the rights of BOTH Consider
ations such as these, however, are
counsels of moderation rather than
limitations upon power"
The justices then stated that in
cases Of extraordinary public moment,
the individual may be required to
submit to delay not immoderate in ex-
tent and not oppressive in its conse-
quences if the public welfare or con-
venience will thereby be promoted. In
these holding company cases, the
court added, great issues are in
volved."
Case Sent Back.
The justices then expressed the be-
lief that in any event the District
Court should not grant the stay to
continue in effect after the initial deci-
sion in the Governments suit against
the Bond g. Share Co.

Court, however, the justices pointed

nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
LONDON, December THE con-
servative London Post, in a two
column editorial, called on King Ed
ward to renounce any intention Of
marrying Mrs Wallis Simpson.
The Post pointed out this could be
the only choice for the monarch, and
compared the bravery it said he
should show with that of his subjects
In the World War.
"It (the decision) may, be hard, but
Is it not simple?" the paper asked.
Papers Plead for Time.
The Post joined with the Daily
Mirror, News Chronicle and Express
in pleading for time so nothing re-
grettable would be done by either King
or cabinet.
Under the heading AS 900, 900 De-
mand to Know" the Daily Mir
ror devoted its whole front page to
listing these five questions:
al. What. justly stated and in detail.
Is the Kings request to the cabinet?
20. What steps were taken to ascer-
tain the views Of the people Of the
Dominions and TO explain to them
the issue involved in this great crisis?
'3. Is the British cabinet prepared
to approach the governments of the
Dominions with frank request that
that they should reconsider their ver-
dict against the King and consent to
marriage even if it involved new leg
islation?
Blow at Monarchy.
a. Is the British cabinet sure,
beyond doubt, that abdication of King
Edward VIII would not strike a ter
rible blow at the greatest institution
in the world-our monarchy-and
thereby cause irreparable harm?
IS. Would the abdication of our
King mean he would be exiled not
only from Great Britain, but also
from every other country in his en-
pire?"
Then, in a heavy, black finishing
headline, the paper said:

And now grand guy comes into this story
of Cochrane's development. His name was =
and is = Ralph "Cy" Perkins. Like Cochrane,
he was product of Massachusetts,. Unlike
Cochrane at that time, he was flawless and
experienced master of the technique of catch
ing behind the bat He probably was the best
catcher in the American League - and then
was still in his prime. But again. unlike Coch-
rane, Cy Perkins couldn't hit. His beautiful
catching had been enough to make him
Connie Mack's first-string choice for several
seasons. But obviously. catcher who could
approach Cy's ability behind the bat and hit
fifty points higher would prove real rival
for his job.
Perkins, the styist, went to work on
Cochrane, the ball-nudging recruit, to teach
him things he had not known before. Many an
hour they spent together during the mornings.
They sat together on the bench. They were
together in hotels and on trains. Perkins knew
the American League hitters. They we're filed
away in his "cardindex' mind, with each
weakness and strength catalogued.

himself and he knew what he was doing when
he turned Cochrane over to Perkins Connie,
too. helped with the prepping of Cochrane; he
taught the recruit the strategy of the game.
There came the late-April day at Shibe
Park in 1925 when, with the Athletics trailing,
81, and two men on the bases in the eighth
inning, Connie glanced along the bench to
the spot where his catchers, Perkins, the
regular, and Cochrane, the rookie, were sitting
together. He was making decision that, some
of the boys told me later, obviously cost him
some effort. Finally
"Cochrane, you bat for Perkins, said
Connie.
