This was one Of sbe boldest attempts
at robbery ever committed in this city.

TO SUCCEED SECRETARY HAY
Hon. Elihu Root Appointed to
and Accepts the Office of Sec
rotary of State

Oyster Bay, L. l., July s.-Official
announcement is made mere that Elihu
Root has been appointed secretary of
state.
The following statement was issued:
"Elihu Root has accepted the tender
by the president of the secretaryship of
state. He will take the oath of Office
in a couple of weeks, but it will neces-
sarily be some little time before he
closes his business affairs. He will
not go to Washington permanently I'M
til some time in September"
In point of mentality, it is the
opinion that the president has found a
mar who can fill the shoes of John
Hay. Mr.. Root made a good secretary
of war, proving himself in that func-
ton a man of action and quick deci-
sion. He is one of the keenest law
yers in the east. AS to politics, he has
always been a republican. Like Roose-
Welt, however, he has not been in any
sense a machine man.

imburse the operators one-half for the

of the shot-firers.
Judge Gray in his decision says:
mo good reason can be urged, in
my opinion, why the expense Of suck

miners. 1t is an expense made by law
incidental to the conduct of mining OPP

Studying Law.

Questions regarding the study OF
law were sent out recently to many
lawyers of this state by the University
OF Illinois and elected 1000 replies.
From these, observes the Daily News
OF Chicago, 1t appears that the days of
studying law in a lawyers Office have
passed away. Very few Of the Offices
have any law students at all. Many
OF the ablest lawyers expressed the
opinion that study in a law office is an
absolute waste of energy. Nearly all
the successful law firms declared tina
they had no time to devote 20 young
men who desired to study law, n
that such young men were a nuisance
In the Office. The only young maj
they could use at all was n who had
already passed his examination for
the state bar and who was willing to
work for nothing for a year or W in
order to get the experience which
comes from a large Office. Out OF d
1000 replies only sever favored prep
aration for the bar in a lawyers Of
fee. Another striking result OF this
investigation is found in the answers
to the questions as to the proper de-
gree of preliminary education a stu
dent should have before entering the
law school. A majority of the whole
number urged that everyone taking up
the study of the law should complete
q full college course. Of the others a
majority were in favor of at least two
years in college. There was a practl-
cal unanimity that the completion OF
q four years high school course was
the absolute minimum which was at
all acceptable. 1t was the general
opinion that having once entered the
law school the young man should give
his entire time to the work OF the
school and not attempt to combine II
with work in a lawyers office or. in
deed, work in any other place unless
chat was absolutely necessary to pay
expenses. One lawyer declared that 1t
was a poor school that could not keep
O student busy all the time, and II a
boy found himself in such a school he
ought to leave 1t for one which could
keep him busy

WOULD NOT CONSENT
China's Request to Be Represented
at the Peace Conference.
Japan Believes She is Able to Take
Care of China's Interests, for
Which She Has Fought.

Washington, July 10.-China's re-
quest to be represented in the Wash
ington conference on the ground that
she is vitality interested in its pro-
ceedings, has been received by the
president and informally transmitted
to the belligerents. Whether the pres
ident has received the formal replies
can not be learned, but it can be stated
that while Russia is inclined to favor
the suggestion, Japan would not con-
sent to it.
Japan has already made public her
assurance that Manchuria is to be re-
stored to China. That is one of the
principles for which she a y she has
been fighting. Japan regards herself
as fully capable of executing this prom
Use without the assistance of China,
and in view of China's inability before
the war to cope with Russia in Man
churia, the japanese government is I'M
able to see what possible service a Chi
nese representative would be in the
Washington conference.
Moreover, the Japanese have all
along taken the position that when
peace negotiations were begun they
would be conducted directly with Rus
STA. 1t is altogether unlikely that the
Washington government will press the
claim of China, and the official view
here fails to sympathize with the idea.
