Justice In the District is max
ing the District of Columbia in
creasingly unpopular for those
lawless gentry who seek an easy
community in which to operate.
The number of justices of the
District Court was increased a
short while ago, but not appar-
emily enough, and there now ex-
lists the vacancy caused by the
recent death Of Justice Joseph
w. Cox. The District Bar As
sociation has urged the Presi-
dent and the Attorney General
to fill the vacancy by naming
United States District Attorney
David A. Pine. Many other or
ganizations have joined the Bar
Association in urging the ap-
pointment of this able lawyer
and native Washingtonian.
It is understood that both Sen
ator King and Representative
Randolph, chairmen respectively,
Of the Senate and House Com
mittees on the District of Co.
lumbia, favor the appointment
of Mr.. Pine who has made such
a fine record in speeding up
criminal justice. Both of these
chairmen know from their ex-
perience with District affairs,
that a local lawyer, familiar with
the practice before the local
courts as well as with the Dis
trict's needs, is required If prompt
and satisfactory results are to
follow. These men also know
that there is immediate need for
the filling of this position, even
at this special session of Con-
gress. Important nominations
are often sent to the Senate dur
ing an extraordinary session of
Congress.
If this vacancy is filled at once
It will be possible for three GRIM
inal courts to continue the good
work for the prompt melting out
Of criminal justice. Washington,
organized and unorganized, wants
q local man appointed and feels
that 1t will be dangerous to de-
lay making an appointment.

OF Third Term

NEW YORK, July 26.-Postmaster
General James A. Farley, Europe
bound with several other political
bigwigs, shied at third term talk to-
day but firmly predicted that the
1910 Democratic presidential nomi-
whoever he is"-would be the
successful candidate.
1T is futile for me or anyone else
to talk of 1910 until the President
has expressed his position" said the
genial chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, sailing on the
United States liner Manhattan.
Il have not indicated my position
on third term to anyone, and that
includes the President" he added.
The Democratic chieftain smiled
of a point-blank question:

term9'
You will have to ask him." he
said.
Mr.. Farley said he felt I'VE are
on our way to a period of real pros
perity, with business picking up all
over the country.
"Postoffice receipts are showing
continual improvement, and I hold
this to be a good indication. I ex-
pect business will continue to i'm
prove this year"
Sailing on the liner with Mr.. Far
ley were John D. NJ. Hamilton, chair

D. {. 10 Be Spotted
With Local Showers:
Heat Due 10 Reach q
Rains to Bring Relief
Only Temporarily
Through Tomorrow

When the Weather Bureau FORE
cast local showers for today, it
really meant local-so local, in fact,
that one half the city didn't know
what was happening to the other
half.
During the morning, while the
downtown area stifled under 88 de-
grees of humid heat, the Chevy
Chase sector had heavy showers.
An hour later, rain started to fall
downtown, but Chevy Chase chill
dren were out playing in the SUM-
shine.
According to the Weather Bureau
explanation, the very local showers
were caused by the intense heat
rising from the ground at those
points.
Heat causes the air to rise. The
air condenses when it reaches the
cooler regions of the heavens. Hence,
rain without any systematic motion
or over a large territory.
The thundershowers were expect
ed to bring at least temporary relief
this afternoon and tonight from the
severe heat wave which yesterday
caused five heat prostrations.
Despite the showers, however, the
mercury is expected to climb to 81
degrees before the day is over. More
showers, but no termination OF the
heat, are predicted for tomorrow.
Three of the five prostrations yes
terdav occurred on construction
projects. John Ball, 20, Spaulding
Heights, Md, was overcome while
working on crane at the Municipal
Center development. George Por-
ter, colored, 1854 Half street Sc,
and Willard Peterson, also colored,
SAT Second street NE, became ex-
hausted while at work on building
projects.
The other victims were Logan S.

and Raymond Young, colored, 1617

Broken glass and litter were blown
over an area nearly 40 yards square.
A checkroom attendant had his

two of them women, and two other

Scores of checked suitcases and
parcels were torn apart and their
contents scattered.
The force of the explosion was
felt for several hundred yards from
the checkroom, reaching out to the
station platforms and to parked
automobiles in the streets.
Windows over a wide area were
smashed, and splinters torn from
woodwork.
Bomb Believed in Parcel.
Police believed the bomb was
planted in a parcel or suitcase
checked in the station.

Characterlzlng as queslioii oi
first importance whether medlcal
practice is a trade within the mean
ing of Section 3 of the Sherman
Act, Justice Proctor fatty declared
'In my opinion it is not
JJpon this contention the Gov
ernment had based one of its prin-
cipal charges.
Decision IL Pages Long.
Whether the Government would
appeal from Justice Proctors decl-
sion had not been officially an
nounced early today, but there had
been previous indications that the
Justice Department, which hao
prosecuted the case, would carry
the issue higher, probably to the
United States Supreme Court
Justice Proctors decision, Whlcn
was IL pages long, went into the
case comprehensively.
One point on which he disagreed
with the counsel for the physicians
was on the constitutionality OF the
Sherman Act.
Explaining that doctors had
argued the statute was TOO vague
snd uncertain to fix a definite stand
ard of guilt, or inform one accused
of violating it of the nature and
cause of the accusation" Justice
Proctor declared:
Il do not agree with the argumentN
If I did the circumstances would
not justify me declaring the stat
unnecessary, hence inappropriate III
view of my holding that the indict-
ment is bad on other grounds"
No Trial Required.
Justice Proctor'S decision throws
the burden for the next step in the
case, if any, upon the Justice De-
partment. If, on the other hand,
Justice Proctor had overruled the
demurrers and held in favor of the
Government the doctors would have
had to stand trial and come before
the court to answer the charges.
His decision today means that they
do not have to come to trial unless
his decision is reversed by higher
court.
The defendants are the Amer
lean Medical Association, the Medi-
cal Society of the District of Co.
lumbia, the Washington Academy of
