day regarding the lack OF proper preparation
In the prosecution of cases by the District At
torneys Office. Justices Olmsted and Deuel. in
the Court Of Special Sessions, yesterday made
some Caustic comments the failure of the

sent their evidence and witnesses properly.
The case in question was that Of Max F1nkel-
stein. a notary public, Of No. so Allen street
who was arragned on three charges for making
false certificatiOn. The defendant was one Of
the chief workers in obtaining names for the
Jerome nominatOrs.
Two of the charges We're dismissed in court
Yesterday because of the failure of the prosecu-
ton to bring the witnesses to the witness stand
on recommendation of the court, the third charge
went over until later date Justice Olmsted
and Justice Deuel. told Deputy Assistant Attor-
ney Whitesde, who represented the District At
torney that the were improperly prepared
and presented the court. and warned him
not to allow any witnesses who should be de-
tanned for the trial of the third charge TO escape
The justices pointed out that II placed the Dis
trict Attorney In a bad light to have a case IN
which he was personally interested tried in such
a manner
Justice Deuel. said:
There seems to be undOubted evidence of per-
Jury presented in this case, and il is the duty
of the District Attorney to show it TO the court"

TAFT FOR SIMPLER Law.
Secretary of Ww Defines Func-
tiOns of Court and Legislature.

Bradford Penn, June B-At the twelfth annual
meeting of the Pennsylvania Bar Association here
tonight Secretary Taft the chief speaker. He
delivered the annual address and. in part. said;
One of the most important considerations which
should address itself the legislators IN the mat
ter of framing laws is whether the particular law
IS one Of such a character that in the nature OF
things and of the people concerned II is capable OF
practical enforcement The law should be den-
nite concrete enunciation of rules which the most
Ignorant can apply TO the everyday occurrences IN
their own lives. and which an executive OF average
energy and courage may be expected to enforce,
Legislators in adopting law do not always give
sufficient consideration practical enforcement OF
the law. II is the duty of the legislator 10
form a code and pass criminal statutes TO punlSh
those who fall short of that ideal standard Iae
function of the legislators is chiefly TO RESTRAIN
evils arising from the interference with mans pur-
suit of happiness.
The theory that the state can command people
20 be righteous is at the bottom or unsuccessful
legislation. 1t may be asserted as general prop
osition that everything which tends TO delay Euga
tion is great advantage for the one having the
longer purse.
There IS nothing so detrimental TO the poor man
the right which, II given TO him. must be given
TO the weathiest party of carrying ntsatln 70 the
higher court The useful function of the supreme
Court is not 10 decide particular cases its runc-
tion should be to furnish judgment in typlcal cases

Mcdonald and the police have disgusted him. and

nesses at hand has caused him to abandon the case
temporarily
Acting Captain Price still is sleuthing the mys-
terry, but apparently has not achieved more results
than the coroner. He had long talk last night
with Mrs. Stenton, Mrs. Kinnan's mother. after a
day spent in consultation with Inspector McLaugh-
lin, trip to the District Attorneys office and a
visit to Brooklyn Whether he learned anything

Burton W. Gibson, Mrs. Stenton'S lawyer, was
with the old woman for four hours last light. He

ing that he had retained a lawyer TO represent him
in proceedings against Coroner Mcdonald because
of his official conduct of the Relatives Of

The fight between the two factions has been a
bitter one. and careful canvass of the situation
tonight indicates that Emery probably will be

the absence of Colonel Guffey, who is REGARDED as

YoNKERs JUDGE DEGREES SPEEDING
Himself an Automobile Enthusiast, Says
Drastic Laws Are Needed.

Judge Beall OF Yonkers in imposing fine of $50
Joseph Page a negro chauffeur, yesterday for
exceeding the speed limit, said the public highways
never designed for the operation OF motor
vehicles at high speed. and that while the ma
tority of owners of automobiles were law abiding
citizens the operation of many Of these machines
marked by an absence Of consideration for the
rights and safety of pedestrians which was ap-
palng.
Yonkers has become aroused over the violations;
recently a citizen was down by an automobile
and killed; The fines have been growing In size,
but they have not stopped the Offenders. Those
who have been arrested either wealthy men
or drivers in their employ. many OF whom are
going or coming from the Ardsley Club. Judge
Beall IS himself automobile enthusiast, and
the speed craze is being overdone and the line
must be drawn"
