TURKISH JUSTICE,

A feature In the local press for

functlonares dismissed or placed on
trial for official Irregularities. IL would
appear that the present minister OF
justice appreciates the advantages OF
an honest administration, and Is bent
upon eliminating undesirable elements
from the branch OF public service placed
under his authority. Turkish judges
are perhaps the most corrupt body in
the world and the administration OF
Justice has come to be regarded as
mere question OF money, the sutton who
pays the greatest bride being sure to
win the case. 1t Is stated that In the
course OF the hearing Of a case In one
of the STEAMBOAT courts the president,
addressing the defendants lawyer,
asked him what the time was, The lat

a quarter to 4, whereupon the president
consulted his own timepiece and de-
