IMPERFECIToNS OF THE LAW.
Mr.. Morris discussed some Of the imper-
feetions of the law. and in this connection
said:
There has been much criticism of this
law, on the ground that ii. is essentially
in favor of the debtor and does not at
ford ample protection 10 the creditor.
Whlle there IS some 1ustlflcatlo Tor crit
iciSm, 1t should be borne in mind that there
was the greatest opposition to the passage
of any bill having involuntary provisions,
ana that. to large extent, TINS act was
passed as compromise measure. 1t does
not meet my ideal Of Il sound bankruptcy
lava law which has heretofore been said
should accomplish swiftly. cheaply ana just
~ the collection and distribution of the
property of the bankrupt among his. credit
ors, according to their rights and prlorues;
the realization of that property, whatever
may be its multifa1ious or scattered cnar-
acter, in the best manner ana at the smallest
cost; such an examination OF the bankrupt
himself, his conduct. affairs and character,
as will, in the public interest eitectually
distinguish, in the verdict of final discharge,
between the honest the unfortunate the
reckless and the bad; and. lastly, that all
this shall be done by practical blending
of the functions Of the public tribunal seek
ing only the ends Of justice: and Of the ac-
ton of the private creditor, devoted chiefly
to escape from the loss he has incurred, by
turning the bankrupts assets to the best
account"

The Appellate Court yesterday held that
it is not illegal for a man to become intox-
icated at private social function or in any
house or home. which is not public place.
The holding Of a dance in a home does not
make the place public. even though re-
freshments are offered for sale from stand
erected in front of the house. The decision
was handed down in the case of the state
against Sanford Tincher. appealed from Sui
Ivan county. Tincher was arrested for be-
ing drunk at an ice cream social at farm
house in the county, and he was discharged
in the Circuit Court. The State, however,
appealed the case and the Appellate Court
affirmed the decision of the Circuit Court.

To-day.
This is Judge McCray's last day on the
Criminal Bench. Tomorrow he will give
way to Fremont Afford. In discharging a
defendant yesterday the court became con-
fused and let the wrong man go. This was
Samuel Crawford, accused Of riding a
bicycle on the sidewalks. The case was tried
several weeks ago, and the court had it
under Amusement. Yesterday when it was
called up for settlement the court became
slightly mixed and confused the case with
one against Thomas Crawford, charged with
selling liquor Illegally. The latter had
promised to obey the, law hereafter and
tho court had made up his mind to discharge
him. When he acquitted Samuel CrawfoTd
whom he believed to be, guilty. ne had
Thomas Crawford in mind Afterward the
court discovered its mistake, but decided
that 1t would not reopen the case. The
judge asserted that the release of Samuel
Crawford will not permit other wheeimen
to violate the vehicle ordinance on Seven
teenth street, where Crawford is said TO
have violated the law.

But II is hopelessly far behind Once 1t aimed

with the next largest navy In Europe. Now
some malicious observers are beginning TO aban-
don even that and TO base their sole and last
hope on the possibility of all the Continental
navlcs combined being made equal to that OF
the island sca-klngs.

Great Britain will have the Use OF her enor-

able array Of coaling and naval stations in all
parts Of the world. The united fleets of Russia,
