Judge Jenkins's understanding order
was tonight made the object of an attack
from the pulpit of Plymouth congregational

took up Judge Jenkins's assertion that il
was not his purpose to take part in the
strife between capital and labor and de-
clared that this was just what the court

Judge Jenkins was biased and assumed
too much when he declared violence would

DAVID DUDLEY FIELD DEAD.
The Distinguished Jurist Passes
Away at New York.


Away at New York.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-David Dudley
Field died today at 2 Grammercy-place.
Mr.. Field arrived from Italy only last
Wednesday on the Columbia He had
gone abroad to take Christmas dinner
with his only child. Lady Musgrave, and
to attend the twenty-first birthday cele-
bratiOn of her eldest son. Dudley Field
MusgTave. His daughter is the widow
of Sir Anthony MusgraVe, who was
governor of Queensland, Australia.
when he died She is living at East
GrinStead in Sussex, about twenty miles
from London. He then travelled about
on the continent and took the steamer
from Genoa for home. He has been at
his home, % Grammercy park, since his
return and was thought to be in good
health for a nan of his age, eighty-nine
years. He was taken with pneumonia
Wednesday night. He had expected to
spend the summer among the Berkshire
hills where he was born. He was en-
gagged in writing his autobiography. Only
last Wednesday he remarked: My one
great ambition is to have my codes
adopted all over the world They are
written and published 1t is only ques-
ton of time when they will be &C
cepted."
David Dudley Field was born in Haddam
Jams. Conn, in 1928. He was admitted to
the bar in 1925 and began practice in New
York City. He attained special promi-
hence in connection with his labors in the
cause of law reform. AS early 1899 he
wrote letter the reform of the ju-
dietary system and afterward addressed
committee of the New York legislature on
the same subject. He prepared codes which
were afterward enacted into laws. The
radical design of his system of civil pro-
cedure was to obliterate the distinction be-
tween the forms of action and between
legal and equitable suits, so that all the
rights of the parties in relation to the sub
iectS of litigation can be determined in one
action without dividing them between diff
ferent suits. The system has been ADOPTED
in twenty-four states. An eminent En-
glish lawyer said that Mr.. Field had done
more for the reform of laws than any other
man." Although an original democrat, he
went over to the republicans in 1856 and
staid with them until 1876, when he re-
turned TO his first love. For eight weeks
he filled the unexpired term in congress
OF Smith Ely, who haG been made mayor
of New York. He supported Mr.. Tilden
strenuously through the desperate struggle
for the presidency.

1t may be true, as the DIVA. Athletic
Club states. that the sentiment of the peo-
pie of the city Of Jacksonville and State of
Florida Is in favor of the Corbett- Mitchell
prize-fight. but 1t would be safe to assert
that If any northern newspaper should
claim that Jacksonville longed for the pres
ence and association of the thousands OF
more than undesirable characters who are
always to be found on such occasions as the
one now being planned for in defiance Of
law and decent sentiment, there would be
speedy and emphatic denial by those who
are represented as anxious to have the
fight come of in their midst. The real trou-
bic with the Jacksonville folks Is that their
moral eyes have been temporarily blinded
by glittering temptations; they were too
weak to Withstand the pressure of such as
those who did their utmost to tempt this
city into welcoming the bookmakers. the
touts. the pickpockets and confidence men
who are essential attaches of a winter

But, according to the Duval Club, Jackson

to make good his promises of repression.

Vandalism Mt the Fair Grouus..


From the Chicago Herald
If the people of Chicago cannot behave
themselves they ought to be shut out of
jackson Park until the last vestige of the
worlds fair has disappeared. The vandal-
ism, the riotous, wanton, useless destruc-
ton and DETACHMENT of the buildings and
statuary under pretense of relic-hunting is
a disgrace to the city. And the spirit Of de-
vastation, unfortunately, seems to be all
but universal. 1t pervades all sorts and
conditions of men-and women. Urchins in
knickerbockers and dignifed, elderly citi-
zens, tow-headed misse5 and matrons in
sealskin sacks. t-amps and millionaires-all
are infected, and the result is a sort of
razzia that would disgrace a band of bedou-
ms.
The park commissioners should put an
end to 1t. If summary arrests and exern
plary fines will not stop the raid the park
should be closed. 1t is outrageous that the
people of this town should make a spectacle
Of themselves before high heaven after car
rying to a triumphant conclusion the might
