Talepboaa 1000 The Real Issue CITIZENS who favor New Deal legislation which has W been blocked by the supreme court should think deeply before they permit that, alone, to influence their sentiment towards the president s proposal to change the supreme court. They may, upon deliberation, come to agree with those who hold that preservation of the independence of the judiciary is of much greater importance than the en actment of any particular legislation. A most interesting discussion of this phase of the current controversy is to be found in a United Press dis patch quoting Herbert Arthur Smith, distinguished Brit- 1-1. J i-A. J . a a . . i , , . . i isn jurist anu proiesaor ox international law at ijonaon university. Professor Smith, pointing out that Great Britain and the United States have a common legal tradition and "certain common conceptions in the nature of judicial Independence," declares that the president's supreme court proposals raise issues which are of vital interest, particularly to Britain, and to all civilized countries. Quoting from his statement: "Thli tradition hai two aspects. From tba Judges, it demands eomplata abstention from all political activities, whatever may bare been their private opinions before being raised to the bench. For the rest of their lives, they are indifferent to all and only aerrants and spokesmen impersonal of tha law ... so long as tha Judges refrain from all political activity, it Is an obligation of honor that neither their persons nor their, office ahall erer form a target for political bombardment "It is not overmuch to say thst the whole structure of law i and Justice according to our Ideas depends on tha honorable observance by both aides of this unwritten convention. "Should It be broken down, our courts would quickly become as tha courts of Russia and Germany already have become the mere agents of a political party controlling the government ... If a law la declared by a Judge to ba unacceptable to the people,, , as represented by a government. It la our business to ehange tha law and leave tha Judge alone. "By this, wa mean that we consider the principle of Judicial Independence one of the fundamentals of free institution and : . believe tha maintenance ot this principle Is of greater Import ance than tha decision In any particular cue, however great its immediate political Interest. . . "In Canada and Australia, wa have federal constitutions which are mueh ln;eoramoa with the constitution ot tha United States and)' it so happens that within recent weeks, Canada furnished an example which may be Interesting to American observer. "During Prime Minister Bennett's recent administration, tha Canadian parliament enacted a number ot statutes which may ha roughly described as tba Canadian counterpart of tha New Deal. They dealt with Industrial and social problems and they were challenged In the courts on the ground that they purported to deal with matters which under Canadian constitution are reserved to the provinces. Three weeks ago. the Judicial com mittee of the privy council, which Is the final court of appeals in such questions, decided the statutes were invalid. "But that does not mean that those Canadians who were dis appointed by tha decisions will start agitation to get rid ot the Judges or swamp the Supreme Court with new appointments. , They fully realised that in the long run, they would lose mueh, more than they could gain by any such tactics, well knowing the ; principle of Judicial independence is of far greater Importance than the enactment ot any particular statute. -- "A Judge's business la to declare the law aa ha finds it laid down for him by the constitution and tha legislature. Whether that law Is capitalistic or socialistic, whether the principle is conservative or radical, It Is equally the Judge's duty to apply It as he finds It. - "If a ehange in the law is desirable, those changes must come from the people, acting through tha appropriate legislative agencies." WASHINGTON NEWS BEHIND THE MEWS e a Tha Inside Story From Tha Capita By PACT, MALLON Copyright 1937 by Paul Malloa SIDE GLANCES by George Clark WASHINGTON, March 1 Judging from tha way British and French financial and naval authorities are running over here on "purely personal trips." son) thing big seems to ba up In for eign affairs, First came tha British trade master, Runclman, then the French financial wliard.

Furth ermore, the ease with which Mr. R. pulled his court rabbit out ot the hat without disclosing more tnsn an ear ot It beforehand has caused the wary here to expect anyuing at any time.

KEYS KETTERING, Detective Officer, , : Florida Police. 1:55 p. m. 9-1-37. on S. Y. Golden Gull. , a e e PCJLICE HEADQUARTERS, Miami, Fla. 5.50 p. m. -1..T. MEMO To Detective Officer Ketterinc Solution of murder perfectly ciear on evidence submitted. Arrest Bolitho Blane, now pos ing as nis secretary, for tha mnr. der of Nicholas Stodsrt. JOHN MILTON SCHWAB. Lieutenant Florida Police, LIEUTENANT SCHWAB'S ANAL YSIS OF THE FOREGOING EVIDENCE. "TWE time ot the murder was set between 7:45 and 8:30. owina to a message, supposedly in the victim's handwriting, annearina on a leaf torn from Stodart's diary, which wss not in existence until 7:40. I Compare the shsra auotationa supposedly written by Stodart, however, with other handwriting known to have been written by , Blane. The word "Rocksavage" in the share list also occurs twice in Blsne's letter in Stodsrt and twice in his letter to tha Bishop. The similarity of the first to the other four immediately springs to the eye, only the "" end the "g" differing to any ax tent. Other similarities sumip n closer inspection and there can be no doubt that all three documents were written by the same person. Not the victim, but the writer of the share quotation, therefor wrote tha alleged last message, to inai mere is no evidence as In when the murder was committed. The alibi of the man presumed to be Stodsrt begins only at 7:25 when ha entered th lounge. If th crime was committed before that hit alibi falls to th round. Examination of tha evidence brings' other points to light show ing that the man known as Stod art throughout th investigation Is in reality jjoutho Blsne, These are as follows: First Photosranh D of Blana'a oatnroom shows a safety razor on the washstand, whereas ohoto- graph E ot Stodart's cabin shows cut-throat razor on th wash- stand. Th photograph presumed to be of Stodart, flashed by Detec tive Officer Neame on the morn- ing after th crime, show, a razor cut on th man's face. It is ob vious that he had always been used to shaving with a safety ra zor but, as suite C was locked up alter tne murder, he could not get at this, and had to do the best he could to shsve himself with th cut-throat razor that was in Stod art's cabin. Second On examination ot th photograph presumed to , be ot Stodart, it Is apparent that th coat he is wearing Is too big for mm, as the sleeve is overlong, and the garment must have been built for a slightly taller man. It is ob vious that Blane, having changed identities with hi. secretary, had to wear hi. secretary's clothes, which did not quite fit him. plat brush, th latter being an indication that Blane had false teeth, whereas In photograph E of Stodart'. cabin there Is on the wain basin an ordinary tooth orusn oniy. Further. In th Inventory Blsne's belonginas there aoneara eoiue oi uum irsgacantn pow der, which is used for sorinkllna upon dentures In order to keep uieae in position in in mouth. As suit C ws locked after the crime, Blane waa no longer able to gei at tnis powder, hence his difficulty In keeping his fslse teeth in puce on th following night. Fourth It will be recalled that. at the end ot hia first examination, on th morning after the crime, th Bishop of Bud fainted. At mat tun it was assumed, upon th Bishop's word, that his faint waa caused by a weak heart and the fact that he had had no break. fast. It Is clear, however, that the true reason wa. th .hock he sus tained upon th man. nresumed ta oe atoasrt, coming Into the cabin, As th Bishop had not breakfast. ed with th other, it was the first lime that morning he had seen th secretary and, as he knew him to be Blane, he must have thought at nrat mat h was seeing a ghost. me reason ror Blsne's letter, written from New York to the Bishop, warning him that some very Strang things might occur ones th yacht put to ses, and that whatever might happen th Bishop was to keep his mouth shut for his own sske, now becomes apparent. BIsne'f confession on his arrest confirm, th above deductions. JOHN MILTON SCHWAB, Lieutenant Florida Police, . e e CONFESSION OF BOLITHO BLANE. VES, all right then, I killed him. Little svcODhant. what use was he, anyway? I've known sine last December that I might have to get out any minute. In fact, I suppose I've reslized It might have to come sometime aver sine U started business. 'THIRD It will be recalled that x on the night of th 8th, when th man presumed to ba Stodart dined wtih Kettering, he com plained of an abscess which was causing him trouble with his false teeth and, as th upper set were slipping badly, he wa. unable to eat any solids. An examination of photograph D of Blane's bath room, shows tooth brush and a All I wanted was neace. and I knew if I could find someone to step into my .hoe. and leave me hi. to step into I could have it. I alerted looking In January for someone whom my shoes would in. it wss only question of pa ticne. Someone of th right neignr, nuiia, age and with no mends would turn up. Stodart turned up in Ipswich aooui tne mm Disc I had soent a week in, advertising and inter viewing applicants. He was ideal, no friends, no family Just the ton oi man i wanted to become myself, so I decided to let him do th first big thing he'd aver none go out with a bsng. When Rocksavage ssked me In his conference I thought there was a faint possibility ot pulling things together, and Stodart could have gone back to his clerking. By th tlm w got to New York. though, I knew my position was hopeless and I decided to put Stodart through the hoop. I had a nasty shock In Nr York when I learned th Blshon ot Bud, wss to be on board. Very tew people know me by sight and It wss rotten luck that on of them should chance to be smong this party. Fortunately, however, I knew more about him than he did about me a nasty business during the war which everyone's forgotten now and I knew that th Bishop would rather that they weren't reminded, so I wrote him a Utile warning that there waa real trouble coming to him unlets he kept his moulh shut. e e IDONT suppose you went to I J. . .ivw nww j. was an none. I got some clotlna nrlcea fmm New York by long distance hafnr. coming on board and wrote them in a disguised handwriting I had been practicing long time en a page of my diary. I wrote a mes. sag to Stodart In my own writ ing on th other side, and put it In my pocket. As soon as w wer on board I gave Stodart some work to do in our drawing room and want In se th Bishop. I found my not hsd had th desired effect. Then I went back to the draw Ing room and gave Stodart lit. tie knock on th back of tha hear! with h.mmer I hsd with m for th Job. He ws. alttlnar at th. small round tsble, so I moved th writing table away from th win dow and dragged him across to ii and popped him out. It was nult. dark by then so no one could see from th deck. Then I threw th hammer and tha sloves I wane while I was arranging th room to Join him. I found I'd cracked his silly thin skuU, so I hsd to sponge out a spot of blood on th carpet before I changed into eve ning dren in his room. . e GOT up to th lounge at half. psst seven and introduced my sel' as Stodart and after a whll wrtto th closing price, in my dla-or agsln in front of everyone, and in th asm kind ot hand writing. I told th steward In push it under the door ot th cab in and stayed in the lounge until tha bugle sounded for dinner. After that everything went ae-. cording to plan. At 8:30 th Steward came tin with the note I hsd left addressed to Stodart and I hurried down with him to th cabin. Whll he wa. in th bath, room I exchanged the note I had kept in my pocket with th on that had been pushed under the door. That proved th missing party was alive at 7:45, and you see although I'd worked this thing out pretty csrefully, the differ ence between doing a thing just well and doing it properly la to make allowances for th unex pectcd. I didn't see why th sui cide story shouldn't be accepted. You know, it's almost worth it to have seen the Bishop's face when he saw me th next morn ing and realized I hsdn't commit, ted suicide. After thinking he was rid of me he must hav realized what I had done. Thst'. why he tainted. Well, that's all. and sinea It hasn't coma off I want to see It finished with as little delsv and formality as possible. BOLITHO BLANK. Witnessed! KEYS KETTERING on S. Y. Golden Gull O.l.'ftT.
