PHILADELPHIA, December 3.—An Eastern Penitentiary convict, on trial for having attempted to escape last June, jury and dre’ sterday stood up before a the judge into an argu- ment in the prisoners’ docket in which that official called him “a liar.” The trouble started when Charles Fiscara asked Judge Harry S. Mc- Devitt allowed to in Quarter Sessions Court to be make a statement after Capt. Elmer Leotheiser, deputy ward- en at the penitentiary, had described the tunnel which Fiscara and three others of hav on trial with him are accused ing dug and from which they were prevented from escaping by a last-minute discovery. shouted Fiscara, will give me a f: ate in open court,” ‘I don't think you r trial. You your- self was in the pen the night that hole was discovered. You know more about it than we do. “That’s a lie,” retorted the judge. “I don’t know anything about this case. I went up to see the hole at the trial of the two guards accused of aid- ing the escape. If it were not filled up I'd take this jury up there, too. You say I won't give you a falr trial. Is there anybody up there at the peni- tentiary that didn’t get a fair trial by me?” “Plenty of them,” replied Fiscara. When asked to cite one, he mentioned the recent 15 to 32 year sentence im- posed by Judge McDevitt on a 18- year-old offender. The court reminded the prisoner that the case had been that of felonious assault on a 3-year- old girl. “What's the use of arguing with a vege like you?” said Judge McDevitt, plainly angered, as he ordered the prisoner to take his seat. The jury found the four convicts guilty, and Judge McDevitt sentenced them to serve double their original sentences. TAX COLLECTOR HIT. Must Pay Levy on Certain Re- ceipts in Ohio, U. S. Rules.

The House this year probably will go through its first session since the signing of the armistice without initi- ating legislation for the relief of World War veterans. Likewise, it appears that contro- versial angles surrounding the United States Shipping Board will be missing from the House for the first time since peace. In the opinion of Chairman John- son, Republican, South Dakota, of the House veterans’ committee, the leglslation enacted last Spring was so satisfactory that the only need which could arise would be adjust- ments in the administration of laws already functioning. As regards the Shipping Board, that organization has been conduct- | ing hearings authorized by a Senate resolution and will report its find- ings to Congress by January 1, 1928. In view of this situation, Chairman Scott, Republican, Michigan, of the House merchant marine committe holds that it would be unwise to con sider new legislation until such facts as the board assembles have been placed before the members. e School Named for Bell.

The quartermaster general is to be thanked for this bit of enlight- enment, contained in “The Army Baker,” a training manual laying bare all the mysteries of the dough business for doughboys. MRS.

Secretary of the Interior Work to- day put squarely up to Congress determination of a policy on disposi- tion of lands from t public domain, centering in 14 bills now pending before the legislative body for so- called school grants and land grants in Western St In a letter to Representative N. J. Sinnott, chair- man of the House public lands com- mittee, he asks Congre: to define a policy which will not conflict with Federal conservation measures or definitely bri to an end Federal reclamation and conservation. Pointing out that it has been the pre ice of Cong to make liberal grants to States for the support or endowment of schools and other in- stitutions; to railroads, to build trans- portation lines, and various other rants designed to aid or encourage desirable enterprises, Secretary Work details previous policies of the Interior Department with regard to such grants, 1 ing bills, 7 turned over to the States would mean the end of mation and of Feder: If turned over to the extent of the minerals in school sections, as pro- posed in other bills, it would mean a partial terminatic f those policies.” Conservation of Mr. Work said, is a to prevent monopoly prolong the life and u well as to of exhaustible resources. )il and gas are necessi- tles for everyd: , not only in commerce and cture, but by the individual citizen.

Whether these resources should be retained, conserved and developed for the general good under the policles v adopted and herein outlined whether they should be turned over to the § s to be disposed of or handled without an uniform gen- eral policy & according to local view or individual caprice is a ques- tion which should Teceive careful con- sideration by Congress.” a Col.
