SHEPARD ON PARKER
NOTED LAWYER HIGHLY PRAIs.
 ES THE JUDGE.
Says He is the Very Opposite of Restless, Impatient, Reckless Contempt for Constitutional
 GoYernment.

New York. April 16.--At the annual din ner of the Reform Club tonight Edward M. Shepard, speaking of Judge Parker. said:
 He represents the very opposite of restless. impatient, reckless contempt for constitutional lawabiding government. and for those respectful and righteous relations with the rest of the world which belong to our best traditions. That is to say, he represents the very opposite of the conduct and policy of the gallant Re- publican now dwelling in the White House."
 A letter from John Sharp Williams, mi nority leader in the House of Represen- tatives, was read in which, referring principally to the importance of tariff re- form, he said:
 ''In my opinion not all the peace socie- ties of the world are as conducive to the prevention Of war as amicable trade re- iations, buying and selling both at a profit S-sft s <@ s'l,@<s
 Il may add that so far as the Demo- cratic representatives in the House are concerned, they never have been as unit. edly bent on conservatism and common sense revision of extortionate tariff as they are at this moment"

 Moderately cold weather for this fate In the Spring is expected In Montgomery today. ac- cording to the official weather forecasts.
