Chicago, H., Nov. 25.- dispatch to
the Record. Herald from Amaha says.
A contest between the people and the
common law, akin to the ancient con-
test between the kings and the law, is
now raging for the first time in history
asserted Roscoe Pound, dean Of tire law
department of the University OF Nebras-
ka, before the state bar association Thurs
day. Tie title Of his paper was "The
Spirit of the Common Law"
Nothing in the history OF our COM
mon law i more striking than it's ten
acity in holding ground" continued the
speaker. Hitherto the people have been
with it. Today, for the first time, the
common law finds itself arrayed against
the people instead Of securing for them
what they most prize. They know it
chiefly as something which continually
stands between them and what they de-
sire.
There is a growing popular dissatis-
faction with out legal system. There -
d feeling that 1t prevents everything and
does nothing. In large part this dissatis-
faction has real basis, and is well
founded"
Mr.. Pound cited decisions to show that
the right Of the individual to contract
as he pleases is upheld by our legal sys-
tenn at the expense Of the right of So
ciety to stand between part Of the peo-
pie and oppression. He asserted:
That right of the individual and this
exaggeration respect for his rights are
common law doctrines No amount OF
admiration for our traditional system
should blind us to the obvious fact that
it exhibits too great a respect for the
individual, and for the intrenched posi-
ton in which out legal and political his
tory has put him, and too little repeet
for the needs of society, when they come
in conflict with the individual, to be in
touch with the present age"

SAY HAMMOND CONFESSED.
Brother-in-Law Arrested and Police Tell
of Admissions.


Albany, Nov. 25.--John Hammond,
the missing husband Of the woman whose
strangIed and decomposing body was
found here Thursday wedged in trunk
in their home, is said by the police to
have confessed more than week ago
to his brother-in-law, Cohoes man
named Mangini, that he had killed his
wife.
Mangini was arrested at Cohoes yes
terday morning, and under examination
by the police admitted, it is said, that
Hammond told him Of the murder on
Tuesday, Nov. II, when Hammond APP
peared at Cohoes. At Hammond's re-
quest, Alangini says, he accompanied
him to Rouses Point, and there left him
on his way to Canada.
An autopsy held yesterday shows the
woman was strangled to death, appar-
emily about two weeks ago.
The Cohoes police later declared they
had definite information that Hammond
is in or near Montreal.
