Laurel Group
Holds Mock Trial
The Laurel Group of the First
Baptist church scored a success in
its presentation of a mock trial at
the church vestry Monday evening,
the court session being attended by
a large number of curious persons,
who are always happy to witness
the distress of a fellowman when
he has been caught in transgres
sing the law. Frof. Philip Harry
in the guise of Henry Henpeek, the
defendant, accused of stealing a
chicken from the cellar of Colby
Blaisdell. was brought into the
court handcuffed by Sheriff Heze
kiah Herderson in the person of
John S. Barnes.
The court was presided over by
-Judge Hiram Hayseede. in civilian
life Dr T. B. Ashcroft. The part of
counsel for the plaintiff. J. Will
Soakurn. £sq.. was taken by Dr. H.
O. Hodgkins, while Roscoe J. Bowler
as S. Webster Wynde. Ksq.. turned
his eloquence in behalf of the state.
The witnesses on either side were
very sure of their facts but were
t sometimes dismayed by the tricks
of the opposing counsel in making
| them say what they did not intend
to say. The pleas of the lawyers
and the summing up of the case by
] the judge was very amusing and
I caused r.o end of laughter In the
court, which was frequently palled
to order by the judge. The plaintiff
I was a sorry looking young man
' when he was found guilty of the
i crime and collapsed w-hen sentence
! was announced.

SEE DELAY IN BUILDING
PORTLAND POSTOFFICE
Portland. March 22—Though ac
lion will undoubtedly be taken b> !
Congress on the recommendation of '
Secretary of the Treasury. David F. i
Houston for a post office building
in Portland, it is not likely that a
buiiding such as is required can be ;
built immediately. The question of
location is one that will require
special attention as it is the u'.m of
the treasury department to locate
the building in a section that will
give the greatest accomodation to
the largest number of business in- j
terests. The treasury department
has been favorable to placing the \
building much nearer Union Sta- ■
tion than the present post office
building, as the cost of delivery
from the trains would be much less,
and it the belief of some con
nected with the department that the
business is moving in a westerly
direction.
Several sites have had attention
but nothing definite has be< n decid
ed. It has^ been suggested that the
site o: the Y. M. C'. A. building, and
other properties adjacent might be
satisfactory for post office building
purposes but whether they could be
secured has not been determined.
It is the plan of the treasury de
partment to build for future needs
of the city, as the structure will be
permanent and modern in every par
ticular.

sued during the loan campaigns for
bonds of permanent form with interest
coupons to maturity attached, Secre
tary Houston announced today.

permanent bonds for the temporarv
bonds of other Liberty loans except
those which still have one interest
coupon to come due. They need not he
exchanged until after these coupons ma
ture, the latest date being October 15.
Secretary Houston urged again that
holders of first and second 4 per cent
bonds make their exchanges eariy since
the conversion privilege on these bonds
still is open aid It Is desired that the
conversion to ttie higher interest rate
and the exchange Into permanent bonds
be accomplished simultaneously. All
registered bonds are in permanent form 1
and Mr. Houlton appealed to holders of
temporary bonds wherever possible to ■
exchange them for registered bonds. '

Singing vs. Stammering.
Stammering has it.-* curiosities, j
writes a correspondent. and go.-s ffn !
to recall the ease of hte boy at his |
school who spoke with a stutter and
could rone the less sir.g perfectly.
The news of his prowess in the
choir spread; and harrassed masters
would sometimes take advantage of
it. And a delighted class would i
have the novelty of healing a lesson1
sung delightfully in a boyish so- ■
prano. Like the celebrated judgment
in K flat of the lord chancellor in
••Iolanthe,” his efforts often deserved :
a double encore.
Beecher and lngersoll.
Jt happened at one time that Henry i
Ward Beecher and Kobe;t lngersoll
omt on a platform during u public I
meetjng in N'ew York city, and both j
were speakers. During his address,
Mr. Beecher incidentally referred to J
the splendid oratorical ability of
Colonel lngersoll. The latter declared!
during his address that his utter- j
ances on the public platform against ‘
religion would have been impossible
If all ministers had been as broad j
and liberal as Mr. Beecher. These!
pleasantries were duly applauded bv j
the^ press at that tjme.
Approximately 11.000.000 is to be '
expended for Americanization of the!
foreign-born tn the next three years
by the Episcopal Church. The work
is to be done In co-operation with the
Federal department of the Interior, i
which assisted in formulating the i
Church’s program.

Radical Personalities
At a recent meeting a group of
communists spent two soiid hours !
arguing whether it was not a nega
tion of their ideas to have a chair- ;
man of Hie meeting and when finally
they did decide that a chairman was
necessary they all had exhausted
themselv* s and had nothing to talk
about! They have to play lone
lands, for otherwise they get into
trouble about organizing. They can
destroy, but they can not construct,
and. contrary to the general notion,
their more prominent personages are
not intellig* nt. I have never met
Emma Goldman but the radicals who
know her well consider her as a
stupid woman who would never have
been heard of had it not been for the i
police; Bcrkman they hold also to be
ftupid but somewhat more intelligent 1
than Emma.—Samuel Crowther in !
the World’s Work for March.
