ARTHUR E. CAMPBELL
who departed this life April II, 1886

Of all the Fathers we have known
The best one was our very own.
The best because he seemed to us
To fulfil all expectancy.
How well do we recall the day
That his fair spirit winged its way
To that blest realm beyond the sky
Where sanity Fathers never die.
And as we stood beside our dead
We laid our hand upon his head
And thought of years that used to be
And all he tried to do for us.
Home is no more "Sweet Home"
Since you left it Father, dear.

Intoxicotion Charges Create
Minute Dramas in Court

About 60 men, half Of them in
rags, were up In Police Court yes
terday for being drunk. Judge
Walter j. Casey sent most of them
to jail, but he let a couple of young
fellows go free.
Now and then, the endless parade
was punctured with little humor
or maybe a little pathos. Here is
the gist Of four cases, chosen at
random:
An aged colored woman had her
grown son arrested for being drunk
last night after creating a dis
turbance at the house. In court
today, called on to testify against
him, she got as far as taking the
witness stand. When she looked
up at Judge Casey to tell him about
1t, the words that would send her
son to jail would not come. She
broke down in a vail of sobs. A
bailiff led her back to the spec
tator's bench.
Judge Casey, fixing his gaze on
the son for long moment, said:
you don't want to go through this
again, do you?"
Never"
Judge Casey warned him to keep
his promise and let him go free.
Another case was that of the
45-year-old man from Baltimore
who kept repeating that he had 50.
Judge" he said, Il amt never
got break from this court. Please
let me go back to Baltimore. I got
the 50 right here. Here it is right
Evening star., 1939-01-26

here. Three dollars. See, here Is
the So right here" He pulled out
the crumpled and soiled bills.
After looking at the defendants
past record, Judge Casey glanced
over his glasses and observed:
You'll go back when you get
out. Thirty days"
A few cases later an 18-year old
white youth possibly was saved by
an unusual coincidence. He was
being questioned closely by Judge
Casey when woman in the court
room was seen waving her hand to
catch the eye of court officials. A
bailiff brought her forward.
Your honor" she said, II came
down here to watch for another
case, but I happen to know this
boys mother and he's from a fine
family. 1t would kill his mother If
she knew he was here. Why, he's
just a mere baby. If you will let
him 60, am sure he will be good
from now on"
"All right" Judge Casey said.
Court closed with IL men, seven
OF them arrested at one time and
five at another by one officer, lining
up. The officer said most of them
had just been let out of jail in the
last couple of days and were un-
loaded from the police van at Sixth
and Pennsylvania avenue, where
they were arrested. Unshaven and
unkempt, Judge Casey recognized
them as old-timers.
Thirty days each," Judge Casey

State and Municipal
Official 10 Protest
Tax on Securities
Leaders in Banking
And Finance to
Address Sessions

State and municipal officials from
various parts of the country will
mobilize here soon in a conference
on State defense to protest proposed
Federal taxation of State and
municipal securities.
The conference announced that
Controller Morris S. Tremaine and
Commissioners Robert Moses, chair
man of the Triborough Bridge
Authority, both of New York, will
head list of public officials and
fiscal experts in the municipal bond
field who will appear against the
proposal before the Brown Senate
Committee on Intergovernmental
Taxation. The committee Is sched-
uled to meet again on February 7.
DR.. Harley L. Lutz, professor Of
public finance at Princeton Uni
versity, will present to the committee
statistical and financial study de-
signed to prove the proposal is
economically unsound and would
result in net loss to the Nation
as whole.
From the field of private finance
the committee will hear John S.
Linen, second vice president of the
Investment Bankers Association of
New York and chairman of its
Municipal Securities Committee for
the past two years, and Henry Hart,
vice president of the First of
Michigan Corp, both in opposition
to the Treasury Department plan.
Mr.. Tremaine estimated Federal
tax on State and municipal bonds
would increase the financing cost
of the State of New York by
100000 year. He based this on a
refunding program which necessi-
tates issuance of at least 1000 900
worth of bonds year and an esti-
mated rise of three-quarters of
per cent to per cent in the State
interest rate as result of the
imposition of a Federal tax.
Henry Epstein, solicitor general
of New York, is chairman, and
Charles J. Mclaughlin, Connecti-
cut tax commissioner, vice chairman
of the Conference on State Defense.
