; U.S. HELD MOST - LAWLESS NATION Montana Judge Says Prose- cution of Officers Is Sport of John Barleycorn. By the Associated Press. TRENTON, N. J.. November 13.~Fed- eral Judge George M. Bourquin of Butte, | Mont., yesterday filed an opinion in which he characterized the United States as the most lawless Nation in the ‘world with the most badly enforced laws and the poorest administration of jus- | tice. | The criticisms were penned in fAnd- | ing eight men guilty of liquor law vio- | lations. Judge Bourquin has been sit- ting here to help clear a crowded docket. Guilty Complain, J “If America is the most criminal| country of the earth—and it is—if the | laws are most poorly enforced, justice most _weakly administered—and trcy | are—the reprehensible treatment of of- | ficers of the law is a large contributing cause,” he said | “It must bs remembered not the in- | nocent, but the guilty, complain of o fical efficiency. Never are the guilty satisfied with official methods, wl.ich unmask and bring them to account. So often “the strategy of the guilty is to vert attention from themselves by utting the officers on trial “In these prohibition, or at least Vol- stead days, that is_the favorite indoor sport of old John Barleycorn. A great lover of the fourth and fifth amend- ments is old John. He has become (God help us) the principal champion of | them. Spear of Aggression. %In 40 years of bench and bar the| writer has never known an innocent man to appeal to the unreasonable search-and-seizure clause of the Con- stitution. That is true of the cases in| general. But now, constantly and vocif- erously, does old John invoke and de- mand its vindication in his behalf.” “It was designed to be a shield of de- fense for the innocent; old John has converted it to a spear of aggression for | the guilty. And the amount of judicial sanction his arrogance has received is one of the most shocking and alarming developments of the prohibition experi- ment.” P S ILLINOIS TAX BILL GOES BEGGING FOR SPONSOR Chairman of Appropriations Com- mittee Finally Agrees to Intro- duce Measure by “Request.” By the Associated Press.

MELCHER. | among One little girl brought her doll to the | concert, A thousand and more children filled the Central High School audito- | rtum with a promptness that would | have gladdened the heart of a Stokow- | ski. At 10 minutes of 4 there was such excitement as has seldom been seen the youngest generation fin Washington. Sons end daughters, anx- fous teachers and fond parents filled he room to capacity and waited for the magic moment when Hans Kindler should appear on the stage and lead all those silent, dark-dressed men into ac- tion as the National Symphony Orches- tra. One little boy said there were hun- dreds of bass violins. There weren't really that many, but when Mr. Kindler finally played the overture to Weber's “Der Freischutz” there was probably more evidence of a multitude of bass | voices than most of those youngsters had ever heard before. Mr. Kindler had | shown his rapt audience—and the lack | of noise would have surprised a May- | flower morning musicale audience—what | a violin is. He introduced his concert- | master, Mr Ferrara, “We couldn’t do | without him,” he said, and Mr. Ferrara | played a few notes on his fiddie, and a | scale, and the hall rocked with applause. Then a second violin played a scale. and the hall rocked with applause. Then | a viola played somewhat the same, and | there was applause. The first cellist did | likewise (it was more of a solo). and | since Kindler had said of the cello, “it is the most marvelous instrument of | all,” the house rocked even more with lause. “PBne thousand five hundred children were recelving their baptismal sym- | phony concert. Washington has never had anything like this before. Mr. | Schelling in New York and Boston | | teaches large classes the appreciation | of music for those of tender age—but this city has been without such val- able instruction until yesterday. The | results were inspiring. = Although per- haps some of the children in the back | | of the room were unable to hear much | of what Mr. Kindler said (the balcony | 1s much the best place to see and hear), | | the applause after the “Freischutz” and | after the other selections was deaf- | ening enough to indicate that the Na- | tional Symphony Orchestra has been | taken over as much by its junior pa- | | trons as by its senior. I Kindler Urges Tolerance. Mr. Kindler had begun wisely. After | welcoming his audience with a word of | | cheer and reminding it that the love | of beauty and art is among the great- | est benefits of mankind, he hastened to warn them that what some like in 500 CHILDREN INTO SYMPHONIC FAIRYLAND onal Orchestra Enraptures Youngsters in First Concert for Their Benefit at Auditorium. music others don't and vice versa. To prove this he had placed a victrola on the stage and first played some popular music of the East (Indian music), which sounded as weird as the ancient music of the tepees. Then he played a Spanish record and then he told his ‘young listeners that Spanish people are not fond of Indian music, it they were wise they were | but “tolerant” of it—and that is what we all should be in music. A word of introduction as to who Weber was and the orchestra broke into the overture, playing it, as a matter of fact, with more ease than it had in its first concert, although some of the brasses got slightly mislaid in the heavy drapery which more or less submerges the back of the stage. It was a grand beginning, however, and as the music progressed many young ladies were to be observed waving their small arms in time to the music and many young gentlemen's eves were opened wide with wonder at all the sound which came from those “hundreds of violins.” haved, how aum and what an inspira- tion it could be to its adult parents, and that if the young girls and boys present would take the trouble to jot down their ideas of the concert ard mail them to Mrs. Wilson-Greene's | office the three best ideas and the way they had been expressed would be re- warded with three splendid medals. Mr. Kindler added: “Not that I want to make critics out of you—God forbid!" which sent the audience home with a hum of glee. PIEGARay=sn Church Built in Harbor.

Audience Commended.
