Feis understands these changes. He

his education, secured his Pm. D. at

nine years. His book, Europe the

mental agencies" is almost para
phrase of Patrick Henry's famous
The judiciary are the sole protection
against tyrannical persecution OF the
law"
Readers Of the report, starting at
the beginning, may think it technical,
involved forbidding. That Is because
the committee had one supreme task
and thought best to do 1t first. Ihe
Presidents measure was itself teen
nical and involved-it was made so
for deliberate reason. AS the COM
mittee says, Of the Presidents meas
ure and Of his way Of presenting 1t to
Congress: ut was presented to the
Congress in the most intricate form
-" " for reasons that obscured its real
purpose" Consequently the commit
tees first job was one of clariflcation;
the committee had to untangle what
had been deliberately tangled. Neces-
sarily the result, presented in the
opening pages of the report, seems
technical, analytical.
Achieves Force, Eloquence.
But with that out Of the way, the
committee achieves force, and some
times an eloquence, appropriate to
major battle in the seVen-century- long
struggle:
This bill is an invasion Of judicial
power such as has never before been
attempted in this country. 1t
applies force to the judiciary and in
its initial and ultimate effect would
undermine the independence of the
courts. Shall We now, after $50
years Of loyalty to the constitutional
ideal of an untrammeled judiciary,
duty bound to protect the constitu-
tional rights of the humblest citizen
even against the Government itself,
create the vicious precedent which
must necessarily undermine our sys-
tenn? = It is a measure which
should be so emphatically rejected that
its parallel will never again be pre-
sented to the free representatives Of
the free people Of America"
1t seems doubtful If that, and the
report as whole, can be answered

not made a report. II there is to be
reply to the analysis Of the Presidents
measure made by this ma jority report,
the reply must come later, in the de-
bate on the measure which presum-
ably will take place in the Senate.
But. reading this report, one Won
ders II the debate will ever take place.
One wonders If the Presidents friends
in the Senate will ever call the meas
ure up. II they do not, perhaps the
opponents will. If the Presidents
friends do not call the measure up
for the purpose Of trying to pass it,
possibly the opponents will call it up
for the purpose Of forcing a debate
and roll call In which the measure
can be buried forever.
Names Missing From Report.
One thing the report does not con-
tain. 1t does not contain the names
OF the men who wrote it. Only one
name Is mentioned. Because Senator
King Of Utah is the second ranking
Democrat on the committee, and be-
cause the chairman Of the committee,
Mr.. Ashurst OF Arizona, was in favor
OF the Presidents measure, it fol-
lowed that the report, being adverse
to the measure, was presented to the
Senate by Mr.. King. But the occa-
sion should not be allowed to pass
without calling attention to the other
Senator'S who helped write the report
and, by their actions, made an ad-
verse report possible.
In the whole Judiciary Committee
there are 18 Senator's. Three are Re
publicans, Borah Of Idaho, Austin of
Vermont and Steiwer of Oregon. These
were against the measure. There was
one who was neither Republican nor
Democrat, Norris OF Nebraska, whose
formal designation is "Independent."
Senator Norris favored the Presidents
measure-though it is evident he did
so with some disquiet There re-
mained IA Democrats. These divided
evenly, seven for the Presidents meas
ure, seven against it.
These seven Democratic Senators
who opposed the Presidents court
measure ought to be borne in mind.
They ought to be borne in mind today
and in the primaries and elections in
which they come before the people at
the ends Of their present terms, some
OF them next year, some in 1910, some
in 1912.
Wrote Names In History.
But they deserve to be remembered
beyond that. They merit something
more than the satisfaction of their
own consCiences, and something more
than the feeling that they belong in
a gallery of immortals Of American
and British history. They take places
in the long roll call Of worthless who,

Held Without Bail on
Murder Warrant at
Hearing in D. c.

Carvin B. Baxter, 27, of 50S
Third st. N. E., arrested New
Year Eve in connection with the
murder of his next-door neighbor,
Eugene Hancock, &C. year old
steamfitter, today elected to fight
extradition to Prince Georges
county, Md.
Baxter had previously an
nounced his willingness to appear
in Prince Georges county, al
though police at that time de-
clared he was being held only as
a material witness in the case.
His decision to fight extradition
was announced today by his at
torney, E. Russell Kelly, when
Baxter was arraigned in the
United States division of Police
Court here on a warrant charging
him with the murder Of Hancock.
Bail is Refused
Judge Walter J. Casey granted
him the 3O-day interal allowed by
law for those opposing extradition
but remanded him to jail without
bail for that period.
Baxter is a brother of Evan BaX-
ter, "a, who is being sought in
Virginia and North Carolina in
connection with the killing. Police
sought Evan Baxter in Lincoln,
N. c., and Cherryville, Va, last
week and announced he had
eluded them by only few hours.
They returned with a .22-caliber
rifle, alleged to have been in the
possession of the fugitive, which
was tested by Lieut.. John Fowler,
ballisticS expert of the Metropoli-
tan Police Department, who de-
clared it to be the gun from which
the shot was fired that killed Han
cock.
Brother Is Held
Lloyd Thomas Baxter, age 10,
another brother, was also arrested
New Year Eve and held by Wash
ington police as a material wit
ness.
Questioned last night at police
headquarters here, Garvin Baxter
is said to have broken down and
cried bitterly.
Hancock's body, with bullet
in the heart, was found on a
wooded hill near Piscataway, Md,
on December %. He had been
reported missing from his home,
SOC Third st. N. E., since Decem-
ber IA. His wife, Mrs. Cora Han
cock, said he had s100 and

z-H0UR PARADE
IS LIMIT FOR
INAUGURAL
Admiral Grayson Says
1t Will Brim With
Snap and Color

Stressing the military nature
and the two-hour time limit, Rear
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, general
chairman of the inaugural COM
mittee, in descriptive press re-
lease today revealed the makeup
of the inaugural parade on Janu-
ary 20.
He predicted that color, snap
and seasoned performance" will
make the parade the shortest and
most rigidly confined of any in
augural.
Hardened Campaigners
Pointing out the committees de-
sire not to overtax the strength of
the President and the thousands
of visitors who will witness the
procession, Grayson declared:
"There will be no civilian
marching units, waiting hour
upon hour to take their places
in the marching lines, but
snappy, seasoned parade ground
and campaign hardened soldiers
and sailors. No cheese cloth
draped maidens counting inful.
enza but weather-hardened men
and boys, who can take it."
Grayson said that the parade
attendant upon the second inaugu-
ration of President Wilson, which
lasted from shortly afternoon until
well after dark, was the longest
and most spectacular ever seen.
He pointed out that in this parade
and other long ones the spectators
were exposed to serious illness in
cold weather.
General Craig to Lead
Grayson said the parade will be
in two divisions. Gen. Malin Craig,
chief of staff of the Army and
grand marshal, will lead off. His
staff will consist of Brig. Gen. C. D.
Roberts, Capt. C. B. Lee and a
member of every military unit and
a cadet of each of the training
schools in the line of march.
The first division will consist of
governors of States in order of
their ratification of the Constitu-
ton, headed by Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley. Interspersed
with automobiles of the governors
will be visiting service bands.
The second division will be all
military, headed by Maj. Gen. A.
]. Bowly. who will be closely fol
lowed by the West Point Cadet
Band. The famed Army, Navy
and Marine bands will march in
this division, also units from the
Army. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast
Guard. West Point cadets, An

Guard cadets.

D. C.. BILLS HIT
FIRST SNAG
ON HILL
House Waits Word
From City Heads Be-
fore Taking Action

Action on District legislation
met its first delay today as Con-
gress opened with the House hop
per flooded with more than 1000
bills.
Although the majority of the
veterans among the 435 Repre-
senetatives have already had
printed their pet measures which
are Just awaiting the crash of
Speaker Bankhead's gavel to be
numbered and sent along the
regular channels toward passage
or defeat, not one bill has been
introduced by the House District
Committee.
Await On Commissioners
Representative Mary T. Norton
CD of New Jersey, chairman, is
waiting for the District Com
miSSioners to send up to the Hill
the measures they have decided
upon on their legislative slate.
Until this group is forwarded and
scrutinized, it was indicated by
the committee that no District
legislation would be given to
the bill clerk.
A number of important pieces
of legislation have been planned
for this session, however, and this
delay is not expected to be a
serious handicap.
On another front the District is
facing setback. No one has sig
nified his or her willingness to
serve as chairman Of the appro-
priations subcommittee for the
District of Columbia. At the last
session Representative Thomas l..
Blanton, recently defeated Texas
Democrat, held this post.
johnson in Line
Due to the vacancies which
have occurred on this subcommit-
tee, Representative George w.
johnson CD of West Virginia is
next in line. johnson has not
made up his mind whether or not
to accept the post. He said:
81 don't know what I'm GO
ing to do. / haven't made up
my mind. The whole thing is
up in the air until I talk to
Chairman Buchanan"
The matter is expected to be
settled before the week is out
when the committee on commit
tees make it's designation and the
100 or more new Representatives
received their first jobs.
No Rush In Senate
On the Senate side the matter
also remains up in the air until
the Steering Committee takes &C.
ton, although Senator Elmer
Thomas (D0, Oklahoma is ex-
pected to remain as appropriation
subcommittee chairman.
AS for the introduction of bills,
in the Senate they are not dropped
in en- masse as in the House, but
must be put in personally. 1t will
be the latter part of this week
before any District matters are in
troduced there.
Extension of the powers Of the
Commissioners, a new fiscal setup
between the District and Federal
Governments and some form Of
nationa representation will be the
most important subjects con-
sidered when the legislative ma
chinery begins running.
