CHINA AWAKENING
MORE ATTENTION GIVEN TO LAW
 STUDY.
The Empress Dowager- Is Using Her Efforts To Have Defendant He- presented By Competent Coun-
 sel At Trials.

Washington, July 26.---Marked evil renee of the reform which is sweeping China can be seen in recommendation of commissioners named by the gov- ernment to revise the code governing Chinese legal procedure, which was recently submitted to the empress dowager and emperor for their con- stderation.
 Two revolutionary changes in the legal procedure of China are sug- gested. These are the right of trial by jury and the employment of at torneys for the defense of criminals. Never in the history of China has the practice of law been recognized as a reputable profession.
 The study of law has been drowned upon from time inmemorial and only recently have attorneys been permitted to argue cases in coprts and this permission has been limited te courts in coast cities. where foreigners reside.
 Heretofore a class of scribes versed fin legal phraseology has been author ized to draw up petitions and other legal documents. but these men have not been lawyers in the broader sense.
 From the report of thexNommissioners which has just been submitted to the state department, 1t may be seen that
 
 procedure into harmony with the European court methods has induced the Chinese commissioners to suggest the abolation of the present antique methods of that empire for the methods in vogue among all western nations.
 As the cchanges suggested by the commission. if put into effect, would necessitate the employment of hun dreds of lawyers throughout the provinces. the commissioners make recommendations for the preparation of Chinese to undertake this legal work. They suggest that hencceforth in each of the provincial schools. where men are being trained in the law, a definite number of students of good character. serious minded and well versed in the law" shall be selected, who, after they have completed their courses, shall be examined and if found qualified shall be given diplomas and apportioned among the provinces to argue cases before the courts.
 If such young men cannot be pros vided on short notice. the comn1ission recommends that each province shall select the best qualified of it's legal secretaries for this work. These legal secretaries are men familiar with the code, employed as private secretar- les by the magistrates to assist in dif- fcult cases Until recently, such secretaries had no oficial standing. exohre-risJ odf kthat tc6. a meuh
