(An episode of apartment hunting in a big city) APARTMENT Seeker (after vainly Inspecting the apart, ment for something vaguely resembling an outlook)i like the layout, but there Is no view. Agent (enthusiastically) View, madam? Why from the bathroom window you can see tho river.

A. S. (gazing out of the designated window) I don't quite see it. Agent Right there between that brewery chimney and the electric sign. See It? S.

Is that really the river? Agent (emphatically)' We guarantee it! A. S. (skeptically) You renting agents are so unreliable. We, had an apartment last year giving what the landlord guaranteed was a view of the river and we later found It wasnt a river at all. In fact we never could quite make out what It was.

Agent (pointing) This Is a bona fide river, maam. A. S. (looking out again critically) But there such a small piece of it from here. Agent Its a good sized piece for $4200 a year.

The man upstairs pays $5000 per annum and gets a smaller piece than you. A. What are the exact dimensions of my view of the river? Agent (consulting diagram) Lets see; this Is Arartment 8B you get 4 feet 2 inches. The man upstairs gets only 3 feet 8 Inches. A.

S. Well, It seems an awfully small piece for the money. Agent Of course, If you want a larger piece we can give It to you, but you will have to pay a much higher rent. Theres a five-room suite on the 21st floor for $7500, for instance. A.

S. How much of the river can you see from there? Agent Almost a yard, and a half. Its one of the flneit vistas In the city. A. (rapturously) A yard and a half! How wonderful! Agent The man who leases that is a poet and he has to have a big.

If you want a river view big enough for a whole boat IT WILL RUN INTO REAL MONEY! (Curtain.) tl in the appearing dur lng the past week. The Republican merely passes along to its own readers information furnished by the Bridgeport Telegram and the Hartford Times, It Is stated In effect that the State Police In the original Investigation of the killing of Irwin Jumped to con elusions unwarranted by the facta. The Grand Jury was thus induced to Indict Cline on a first -degree murder charge. Yet Irwin himself before dying absolved his friend Cllno of criminal intent. Irwins brother, in' a letter written ju3t before the homicide, had declared that the victim was an alcoholic and that his family would have liked to place him In an institution for observation as to his sanity.

It appears, also, that the Brand Jury was not presented at all with the testimony of Dr Othenheimer, at the inquest, which had favored Cline. Finally, the States attorney discovered In the process of getting a jury that he was up against a popular feeling so hostile that the charge of first-degree murder would be difficult to establish in the trial. These explanations are equivalent to saying that the case was badly bungled by the police and the Grand Jury, or that the power of the police and the Grand Jury was abused. When the States attorney discovered in court that the bottom had dropped out of the first degree charge and he was Very late in discovering it he arranged secret settlement of the case in which the state accepted a plea of guilty of Involuntary manslaughter. Involuntary manslaughter" can mean nothing more than that one kills another without in the least intending or desiring to; which was a great come-down irora the charge of deliberate murder.

It may be asked if Cline could not have wen a complete acquittal, had he refused to compromise. His chances of beating the State must have been excellent; but. having been in Jail four months already, he was willing to take a year more and call it all over rather than go through a trial. It Is possible, too, that the trial would have brought publicity of an unpleasant character for others, not Involved in the killing, whom Cline wished to shield. The Hartford Times makes this comment, which seems as fair as it is restrained, on the conclusion of the case: As to the secrecy involved in reaching the agreement between the State prosecutor and the attorney for the defendant there is no doubt that it is not relished.

It cannot be corrected, however, at present. Upon his release from jail some 10 months from now Mr Cline may feel himself released from his promise of secrecy and tell his story. Meanwhile, we imagine the, reaction of the public to the manner in which this case was settled will militate against such dispositicfti. of cour cases in the future. A disagreeable impression has been registered in this connection.

Are we not left to surmise that the secrecy of the final settlement was designed by the legal representative of the State to shield the police, the Grand Jury and all concerned in the prosecution from justifiable public critcism? This is good news, that Italians will not be barred from citizenship here because they were at home. This may result In Italy's admitting Republicans from this country, as a sort of reciprocity. i.

The sort of Imsginatlon thst makes asd keeps people bumsa Is often pelsfuL It Is net romancing about the waves, the woods, or the South Sea Islands, but a sober facing of disagreeable facts. Yet an active imagination Is reslly indispensable to any who would be good citizens, good parents, or good husbands and wives. The easiest thing to do Is to tarn aslie asd close the minds eye when meeting a disagreeable subject or incident, but that Is shutting off the possibility of making things better. The cse of pain Is to eliminate pain. One who Is willing to feel pain krow enough how it hurts to he un willing to Inflict pain on others.

He is slso stirred to exert himself, that whatever causes distress may never happen again. Uncle Dudley. AW AMERICAN EPIC H'r'iniTilr of tbs Iron Horse, with A which tbs Baltimore A Ohio Railroad is celebrating Its centenary at Baltimore, gives emphasis to a sils of our history that few of us often appreciate. There are, at this exposition, exhibits which tell with continuity the whole story of transportation in America, from the days of the primitive Indian nomad down to the present with Us airplanes and automobiles. Spanish horses, canoes, stage coaches, Conestoga wagons, early varieties of atsamboat all are represented, some casea by actual types once in operation.

And, of course, there Is an exhibit of locomotives from the day of the first pygmy engine to the great modern express engines of this country, Canada and England. The story of transportation In these United States Is on of the most fascinating angles of approach which our history affords to the epic of national development. In that story nothing so admirably sums up the daring, the enterprise, and the mechanical genius ef America, as the chapters written by the railroad. When on pauses for a moment to consider the influence of the iron hors upon the breathless chronic! of growth during the past ctntury, the thing loo pie as amazing. Penetration and settlement of great areas of the mid and far West had begun, it is true, before the first transcontinental railroad was built but It was the railroad, with Its impulses to trade and migration, that wove the unwieldy continent into real unity.

Invention, engineering, cattle and grajn raising, th spread of manufacturing, the quickening of governmental activists all fcava to a large extent depended upon th enterprise represented by those financial and cnglneerln. pioneer who, a century ago, set out to forge th first link In th mighty mesh of valla which now binds Eut, West, North and South. To a far greater estent than most imagine, this prodigious feat of mechanics explains much of th color and trend of our national mind today.

Occasionally the spirit of burlesque breaks out, as when Marshall P. Wilder did the balcony scene to the Juliet of DeWolf Hopper, and again at the Boston Museum, July 24, 1871, when Robert Craig appeared as Juliet ta the Romeo of Ada Harland. Woman, however, seems always ready to wear the breeches.

Occasionally a parent has played Romeo to his daughters Juliet, as Charles and Fanny Kemble, Gertrude Coghlan and Grace Warner. Mrs Melinda Jones, wife of the erratic Count Johannes, played Romeo to the Juliet of her daughter Avonia. Mrs Jones firs appeared In the part August 23, 1S52 in Philadelphia. Miss Ellen Tree was the first actress of note who was considered able to attempt Romeo, and she played the part in 1S29 at Covent Garden Theater, London, to the Juliet of Fanny Kemble. Miss Tree was particularly well fitted for the task, as she was long limbed, square shouldered and free in her manner.

She was eulogized hy Miss Kemble, even though Juliet strongly and successfully objected to Garricks buslqess of being carried from the bier by the gallant Romeo so that he might die by the footlights. If you attempt to lift or carry me down stage, I shall kick and scream till you set me down, said the young Juliet, and that settled it. ment and she appeared as Lady Macbeth to empty benches. Old actress as she was she knew the signs and refused to appear again. The following week she sat in a box and watched Lottas specialties.

When the packed house demanded a curtain call Lotta merely stuck her foot out and wriggled it while the audience howled with delight. In a dazed way Mrs Pope turned to the manager with the pathetic words, But I dont understand." Returning to Romeo, we have Fanny Morant, Clara Fisher-Maeder, who had seen or acted with every star from Edmund Kean to modern times Fanny Wallack, Susan Denin, irs Hudson Kirby, Mme Ponlsi and Mrs F. B. Conway, who successfully managed the Park Theatre, Brooklyn, and came to Boston to appear as Romeo to Mrs Scott-Slddons Juliet the first time she appeared in the part, Nov 28, 1868, at the Boston Theatre. Kate Reignolds acted Romeo to the Juliet of Kate Bateman at the Boston Museum in 1862; and two years later appeared as Juliet to the Romeo of J.

Wilkes Booth at the same house. During modern times two women have tried Romeo, Annie Clarke and Charlotte Greenwood. Annie Clarke first faced the footlights as the young Duke of York to the Richard III of C. W.

Her future husband appeared as Mercutio. Charlotte Cushman first played the part In London, to Introduce her sister Susan as Juliet, at the Haymar-ket Theater, Dec 29, 1845. Romeo was her best male part and she retained it in her repertory for many years.

Tier length was 225 feet breadth 44 feel, and depth 18.0 feet. She was first assigned to the East India squadron. and upon her return went into commission as the flagship of Commodore David G.

1864. Up to January. 1864. 6he had been struck not less than 240 times, and just before the battle cf Mobile Bay she had been thoroughly overhauled. She had been in commission most of the time for 20 vears following the Mobile engagement.

For a time she was laid up at Charlestown Navy Yard, and was then dismantled and moored off Houghs Neck awaiting her turn to be destroyed. In 1890 Congress appropriated 600,000 for refitting her and the tvork yas done at the Mare Island Navy Yard. For some years she was used to take the Annapolis midshipmen oa their annual sc cruise.

American banknotes ar filling up the vaults of all the exchange houses of Paris in amazing quantities, sufficient to affect the international money market, since the dollar has slipped on the bourse three or four centimes during the convention week of the American Legion. This has been attributed by financial observers to the Influx of American cash and the consequent unusual buying of francs. The French banks never hav had so much United States currency, not excepting the period of the World War, during which the American soldiers were paid in francs. The Legionnaires brought over their spending money largely in rolls of bills without taking the trouble to purchase letters of credit. One bank alone has accumulated $25,000 of American money in round figures just what the Legionnaires spent during the week.

Steps hav been taken, for instance, to increase both th number of courts and tba number of Justices, under appointment or election, who Try case. Notwithstanding all this, the problem appears to be still far from solution.

It remains a them for debate among those learned in the law. But, If the advice of a noted justice of the Supreme Court of New York la followed, possibly th end may be In sight. Mr Justice Crop eey of Gotham Is the legal Polonlus in this particular instance and his advice scouts auch expedients as more court and more judges. In fact, hi advtco I of an extremely homely variety. And what is It? Mr Justice Cropsey suggests that, first of all, th practice now widely followed, in both tat and Federal courts, of sending many competent judges off on vacation In June and kseping them In repos until September is not good economy nor good sense particularly when the court dockets are jammed with unsettled legal matter.

He believes that judges can do without a full quarter of a year for vacations. His ether suggestion Is equally blunt. He urges that longer dally sittings by many aa honorable court would contribute to the expedition cf business and help solvs the problem without adding to the cost. Such suggestions. If coming from a lay member of society, doubtless would create ill-feeling.
