Virtue, Vice and Vice Versa

Aluminium, steel reinforced. has
the highest ratio of strength to
weight of any available transmission
cable. But its diameter is greater
than that of other cables, increasing
the problem of ice loading and wind
resistance. On the other hand the
larger diameter is an advantage be-

Boards Counsel 10 Seek
Writ Of Habeas Corpus

James J. Laughlin, counsel for
Sam Beard left Washington last
night for New Orleans, where he
will argue tomorrow before the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals there, an
appeal for release on habeas corpus
of his client, who is serving time in
Atlanta for gaming in the District
of Columbia.
The Circuit Court had rejected
Boards appeal last November stat
ing in its opinion that Boards con-
tention as to double punishment
had been decided in the local Dis
trict Court when Beard was on trial
Mr. Laughlin informed the Fifth
Circuit Court that neither Justice
Cox in the local District Court or
the United States Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia had
passed on that point. The Fifth
Circuit Court then granted a new
hearing for tomorrow.
The argument as to double pun
ishment has to do with the two
counts for which Beard received
consecutive sentences The first
count charged that he set up a
gaming table and the second count
charged that he set up a place for
the purpose of gaming Mr.. Laugh
lin contends that both offenses are
identical since the same evidence
was used in support of both indict-
mentS.

Mrs. Fannie Dew Henley, 81,
On Flight to California
Native Of Virginia
To Make Home
With Daughter

At f:55 pm. today an American
Airlines plane will swoop down upon
Glendale (Calif) Airport, and Mrs.
Fannie Dew Henley will have COM
pleted her first trip through the air
"a transcontinental journey from
the Capital.
Mrs. Henley is in her 92d year,
but she would be the last to term
the air jaunt remarkable. She
merely decided it would be more
comfortable to spend in travel a
period measured in hours rather
than one amounting to days.
The Nations airlines probably
would have had a regular customer
in Mrs. Henley years ago if she had
had occasion to make long trips.
The journey being completed to-
day is taking her to the home of a
daughter, Mrs. Eula Hughes, in
Alhambra. Calf, where she intends
to establish permanent residence.
Mrs. Henley has been staying tenn
porarily with another daughter, Mrs.
Maggie L. Lipscomb, of 5517 Illinois
avenue NV, since third, Mrs. w.
Scott Herman, of Takoma Park,
Md, died recently.
Mrs. Henley is proud that she is
a native of Virginia and a member
of the prominent Dew family of
King and Queen County. Thomas
R. Dew, an ancestor, was president
of the College of William and Mary
for 10 years.
Mention of King and Queen
County prompted the question yes
terdav: Aren't you bit sorry to be
leaving Washington before the King
and Queen of England arrive?"
"Of course I should like to see
them, but 1 probably wouldn't be
able to see them if I were here" she
replied. MY eyes aren't as good as
they used to be, unfortunately"
If Mrs. Henley's sight is dimmed,
it appears to be her only inflrmity.
She is firm of voice and limb.

cial temperament. But perhaps he has
as much as Schackelford Miller, Jr.,
named as a district judge in Ken
lucky. Mr.. Miller was the campaign
manager last fall for Senator dear
Alben") Barley, the Democratic
leader. Perhaps he was entitled to his
reward.
1t is true that on the heels of these
and similarly uninspiring appoint
ments, Mr. Roosevelt made four judi
cial nominations which won wide
spread commentator. But those were
exceptions, not the rule. Political
hacks or worse have been the rule IN
his judicial appointments.
During the fight over the Supreme
Court packing bill, this writer had
occasion to make a careful study of
Mr.. Roosevelt's judicial appointments
up to the spring of 1887. He found
that few of the appointees brought
honor to the bench to which they were
appointed. Most of them distinctly
were honored by the appointment and
thus lifted out Of obscurity.
For instance, it was found that de-
spite the greater opportunities for
higher education which have de-
veloped in the last 80 years and de-
spite the increased number of college
graduates in the legal profession,
President Roosevelt's judicial appoint
ments had a far worse record from
the viewpoint of educational qualifca-
lions than those of any President
since the turn of the century. Indeed,
only 55 per cent of the Roosevelt jul
dicial appointees up to the summer
of 1886 were even law school gradu-
ates. Only II per cent were both law
school and college graduates.
By all means clean up the judicial
stables - but the present movement
looks strangely like locking the door
after the horse has been stolen. And it
is little nauseating to hear these dec
lamations of virtue and purity on the
part of persons who have helped to
lower the standards of the Federal
bench.
