Christmas in Italy is indeed beau.
tiful, for the people celebrate by
showing the Holy Family in minia
ture. There are also angels and
| painted in pretty colors, and ar
ranged to represent the scene of the
birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. The
people sing and pray before it, and
the children kneel before it. The
yule log is lighted at two O'Clock
the day before Christmas.
The American custom Of display
ing lights in the windows comes
from Sweden. 1t is the habit there
to serve Christmas Eve Supper
| and then go to church very early on
the morning of Christmas day.
Japan has a beautiful Christmas
custom which Christian nations
might well adopt. For several days,
both before and after Christmas,
all tickets and transfers used on
the trolley lines bear these words:
"Glory to God in the highest, peace
on earth, goodwill to men,"
Both in France and Germany
Santa Claus is played by the Christ
Child dressed all in white. At dusk
on Christmas Eve the doors of the
living rooms are opened and there
stands the little tree ablaze with
lights. Lights and bonbons are on
the tree, with the presents under
meath or brought in by the Christ
Child.
In Belgium, Christmas is celebrat-
ed by a great procession OF hun
dreds of girls dressed in fantastic
costumes, carrying flags and march
ing to the beautiful and great music
which is so much a part Of their
Christmas celebration. One of the
prettiest sights is very little child,
in clothes made of camels hair and
carrying a tiny cross. He is leading
by a blue ribbon, snow-white
lamb The lamb is no doubt train
ed, for he follows perfectly docile.

wide open the door. AS he removes
the cover from the front of the box
the children crowd eagerly around,
on tiptoe with excitement, and gaze
with wonder at the Babe in the
manger, Mary and Joseph, the shep~
herds and the Wise Men, and, high
above all, the representation of a
walled city with its castles and tow

In Bethlehem, services are held
continuously for week in the
Church of the Nativity. At mid
night on Christmas the most inter
esting part of the celebration takes
place While the "Gloria in Excel

aside, and from above the chancel
little silver manger containing the
wax image of a babe is solemnly
lowered and then borne at the head
of the procession to the chapel of
the manger.

BOILING FIELD USE

Army Accedes to Request of
Commerce Department
in Pilots Protest.
BACKGROUND


After II years OF fighting for an
adequate airport, Washington
tound itself facing the grauest
crisis in its air transport history
1Uhen airline pilots ueek ago yes
terday deliuered an ultimdtum-
make Washington Airport safe or
Ue refuse to fy." Last Monday the
l4month- old District Airport
Commission recommended to Con-
gress Development of an airport at
Camp Spring, Md.
Emergency use of Boiling Field for
scheduled air transport operations was
authorized today by the War Depart
ment at the request of the Commerce
Department.
The War Departments action is ex-
pected to satisfy the demands Of airline
pilots who last week delivered an ulti-
matum that they would refuse to fly at
Washington Airport unless safety con-
ditions are improved within so days.
Boiling Field will be used whenever
weather conditions make it advisable
to operate elsewhere than at Wash
ington Airport" the Commerce De-
partment explained. THE airlines will
use their discretion in the use of the
two airports, scheduling movements in
and out of Washington Airport as a
regular routine and utilizing the land
ing area at Boiling Field when they
consider it necessary"
Developments Grow Rapidly.
Meanwhile, developments in Wash
ington's airport crisis were coming
with bewildering rapidity on a half
dozen fronts today

line service between Washington and
New York will be necessary if air
transport operations are moved from
Washington Airport to Camp Springs,
it was announced by Edward v. Rick
enbacker. general manager of Eastern
Air Lines, as he arrived here to seek
enlargement of Washington Airport
He added that this would result in
discharge Of many pilots and other
personnel.
In explanation of his statement
Rickenbacker said that additional
ground time required for travel be-
tween downtown Washington and
Camp Springs would destroy the time
margin which now makes the Short
haul air service possible In compe-
tition with high-speed rail service.
In this connection, it was esti-
mated 1t would take 80 minutes to
go from Washington to Camp Springs
From the Newark airport to New York
he said, requires about As minutes
travelling time. Altogether, the pas
senger would spend IS minutes on
the road and 80 minutes in the air.

construction Of the proposed Camp

project were being worked out today

Despite claim by Chairman
Palmisano that the House District

With the 100 or more youthful COL

their riot and short-lived freedom

One farmer, Frank Robertson, who
lives about 4 miles from TB on the
road to the reformatory, with the aid
Of county and State police and dozen
or more neighbors rounded up 80,
while Truman Boswell Of TB with
the aid Of two colored men, was re-

JUSTICE BLAMED
IN DELAY Of TRIAL
Garnett B|ames 0'Donoghue
in Continuance of TayIor's
Murder Case.

Responsibility for the 3O-day con-
tinuance of the second-degree murder
trial of Albert Taylor, colored, alleged
bootlegger, revoked by Justice Daniel
w. O'Donoghue in District Court late
yesterday. was placed squarely at the
feet of the jurist today by United
States Attorney Leslie Garnett in q
written statement.
Justice ODonoghue said yesterday
he did not know Wednesday when he
granted the continuance that the in
dictment had been pending nearly two
years; that the charge involved was
murder, and that there had been three
or four prior continuances
According to facts as related by
Garrett in his statement, Justice
O'Donoghue granted the continuance
without consulting the United States
attorneys office. Garnett denied that
he or any Of his assistants had been
negligent In not presenting the full
facts Of the case to the court.
Revoke Continuance Order
At an unusual and unexpected hear
ing in court late yesterday, Justice
O'Donoghus revoked the months con-
tinuance he had granted and sternly
ordered the bondsman, Louis Wein-
stein, to bring Taylor into court Sat-
urday under penalty of forfeiture of
the bond.
The defendants total bail is $4,000,
one parcel Of which was posted in the
murder case and $500 each in two
liquor law violation cases.
This defendant has had more than
reasonable time to present himself to
the court" said Justice O'Donoghue
at yesterdays hearing. 1T is not right
that some defendants should be
brought to trial in q few weeks and
others at several years after the in
dictment."
The facts in the case, as related by
Garnett in his statement today, are:
First, the district attorneys ondce
set this case for trial in June, 1885.
Taylor was present for two days while
the case was awaiting trial. When the
case was reached and the Govern
ment announced ready, Taylor had
disappeared and the court necessarily
continued it. The case has been set
by this ONCE for trial at least three
times since then, and each time the
court, not the district attorneys ONCE,
continued the case, because Of the ab-
sence Of the defendant and to give the

BOSTON, July 16.-Gov. Charles
p. Hurley awaited action today on his
request for Coast Guard vessels to
supply transportation between Mas
sachusetts and the island resorts Of
Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket,
where an estimated $4,000 persons
are strikebound.
The Governor sent telegraphic ap-
peals to President Roosevelt and Sec
retary of the Treasury Morgenthau,
in charge of the Coast Guard, when
q 10-hour conference between on
cials Of the New England Steamship
CO. and representatives of striking
crews ended in deadlock.
Further attempts toward settle
1nent of the strike, now entering its
fourth day, will be made today in the
State House Office of James T. Mori-
arty, State Commissioner of Labor anc
Industries. Demands for wage in
creases are the chief obstacle to set
tlement.
Hurley said he was unable to COM
ply with an appeal by Nantucket
selectmen that he order the State to
take over operation of the steamship
line because the property is under
Federal Court control.
State Representative Joseph A
Sylvia, Republican, of Marthas Vine
yard, estimated Nantucket's present
population at about 10000 and Mar
thas Vineyard at $4,000.
