To-day We forget our poll icaI differences
and religious creeds,' he said, while We
remember one God and one count--. Sure
ly this year. of all years, calls for intelli-
gent gratitude. From the unobtrusiye and
civil walks of life our country has been
reused to martial strife and bloody war
not for the sake of seif-aggrandizement or
acquisition of terrItOry, but in behalf of the
downtrodden. No nation ever took up arms
i'll nObler cause; none was ever influenced
by more disintereSted motives and none
ever accomplished so much in so short L
time.
From nation of farmers artisans and
shopkeepers i'll loo days we Ieaped to the
august height of able and successful war
riOrS, striking surprise and terror to the
heart of one of the oldest and most war
like nations i'll the world. In 1t all We see
Cuba free, Spain chastised, her navy de-
stroyed and hordes OF soldiers sent back to
their homes by our magnanimity. We can
now only come into His presence gratefully
remembering that through and by us God
is working out wonderfeul problems of

MAY BE TRIED FOR CONTEMPT
Judge Blandin's Remarks Arouse
CteXe1nnd's Hench to Ire.


CLEVELAND. Ohio November 24.-The
sensational finish in the disbarment pro-
ceedings against State Senator Burke yes
terday has stirred the legal profession of
this city to its foundation. Ex-Judge Blan-
din. VINO SO severely arraigned the mem
bers of the county bench, Is receiving con-
gratulatory kilograms from all over the
state for his fearless stand in the ma alter.
The common pleas judges greatly
wrought up. They will undoubtedly take
some acton IN reference to the matter, but
Whether to resent it by bringing Judge
Blandin up for contempt or to make a
statement through the press has not yet
been decided Many attorneys, however,
beileve that Judge BIandin will be cited to
appear Tor contempt of court. 1t is said
that Judge Ong may take the initiative in
thls direction tomorrow morning.
In the disbarment proceedings against
state senator Burke. at Cleveland yester-
day Judge Blandin made bitter and SEN
sational attack on the whole bench of
Cuyahoga county. He said he knew the
risk he was taking, but that he did not
care. For some time the ex-''dPes and Old
tried members of the bar, who listened to
Blandin's passionate utteranees, stood
amazed at his daring. Then they broke
into cheers. When Judge BiaTdn finished
they cheered and clapped their hands again
and again.
Judge Blandin declared it was the bench
which needed reforming first; the elimina-
ton or rottenness should commence with
the bench, he said He want into dstailA
anu u.u not nes..ate to nIen,.oi The names
OF the judges to whom he had reference.

cant thing whether Judge Dellenbaugh was
lmpeached and driven from the bench, or
whether Vernon H. Burke was.
1T is more important" he declared. "to

property, liberty and life may be safe in
N Lids ol the seven men constituting
the court"
II was one of the most sensational
speeches ever made by q lawyer in Cuya-
hoga county. The trial committee then re-
tired to consider the testimony. A decision
may not be reached for several days

CLAIMS AGAINST {
American Oitisens Demand S26, 900, 900
in Damages From Her.
Responsibility of the United States
for Payment-0thers to
He Filed,

The aggregate amount of the claims
which have been fled In the Department of
State by citizens OF the United States
against the Spanish government arising out
OF the Cuban insurrection. which, 1t is re-
ported, the American commissioners In
Paris have agreed to relinquish upon ac-
ceptance of the terms prescribed In their
latest communication to the Spanish COM
missioners, is said to be about $2s, 600, 600.
These claims are of three kinds; first,
damages for personal injuries inflicted by
the Spanish authorities in violation of
treaty rights-that Of Mrs. Ricardo Ruiz
for the Imprisonment and death of her hus-
band. DR.. Ruiz. under circumstances
strongly indicating that he had been MUIR
dered by his keepers, is an example: sec
ond, for property destroyed or appropriated
by the Spanish military authorities-these
forming the great bulk Of the number pre-
sented; and, third, for property destroyed
or appropriated by the insurgents.
Responsibility for Payment.
Doubtless some of these claims will be
found to be exaggerated, and some will be
shown to be invalid On the other hand,
there are undoubtedly many American citi-
zens who suffered injury to person or prop
erty who have not filed claims because of
the impossiblity of procuring. during the
war IN the Island. the necessary evidence
to supper. claims.
If his government relinquishes these
claims it Is presumed that it Will assume
their payment or satisfaction, in SO far as
they may be found valid. The regular
method to be followed would be the ap-
pointment of commission, before which
claimants would be required to establish
their claims
When the United States acquired Florida
from Spain in 1919 it renounced certain
specified claims of its citizens against the
Spanish government for damages or iniur-
les suffered by them, and the treaty of ces-
sion provided for the appointment by the
President, with the advice and consent of
the Senate, of a commission, to be COM
posed of three citizens of the United States
tc meet at Washington and ascertain the
validity of the claims which should be pre-
sented to it The commissioners were re-
quired to complete their work within three
years, and the claims which were admitted
by the commission, up to an amount not
exceeding 1000, were to be paid at
once.
In 1913, upon the acquisition of Mexican
territory. the United States, by the treaty
of Guadalupe Ilidalgo, exone1 ated the gov
ernment of Mexico from the claims of
American citizens, and undertook to make
satisfaction thereof to the sum of s32Jo.-
600 A commission was established.
